Hi,
Some of you are probably wishing there was an update from me. We just completed our second round of in vitro on Thursday. Maybe completed is not the best of words, but at this point it is safe to say, the outcome is out of our hands. I spent a couple of days laying around. It's funny how you can feel fine but if you lay around like you are sick you start to feel sick. It's also funny that when you are laying around people constantly ask how you are feeling. I never felt better, just lazy. The actual putting in of the embryos is not that horrific. The taking out of the eggs is not so much fun, but the putting in, not so bad. J watched them put them in this time, and he said it would have been interesting if he hadn't have been having a panic attack worrying about them dropping the tiny syringe with the babies in it.
They put in four embryos. That's all we got. I must be some kind of infertile myrtle for sure. Even with tens of hundereds of dollars of high quality fertility drugs I got a whopping 7 eggs and out of them, 4 were good for implanting. Crazy hu? So there will be no more tries after this. I admit, I was hoping for some to put on ice and to use in the future, but that is not our destiny. I find out in two weeks if it took, and I hope with everything in me, I don't end up with four or more. Wouldn't that be crazy? What if all four took AND one split into twins! *dies* The implications are dire for my sanity, I am sure we would get through it somehow but how crazy would that be? The Dr. says I have a slight chance of twins, and I am OK with that. Twins I think we could survive.
If it doesn't work we will pour ourselves into finding our family through adoption. I do know that the children who are meant to be a part of your family come to you. I fully believe that, so one way or another we will get them here. I am really hopeful this will work though.
In other news,
My son may be a beaver, or a termite.

P.S. I love the pictures. Too much fun.
I think of you every day. Two weeks can feel so LONG sometimes. Praying for a positive answer :) Love ya!!
Holy moly I hope it takes, that would be sooooooo awesome!!!! Please please PLEASE stick baby (or babies)! =)
We got that same book at the hospital when Savannah was born...its torn up but not so much eaten. Sam is a rascal!
These two weeks just might be longer than the two weeks before delivery... by a smidge :) Okay, prayer mode, people!! Thanks for sharing your journey so publicly - I like feeling like I know the real you and not some fake persona.
im excited that you are finally getting to try that. you're right your babies will come to you. good luck you guys. Twins would be awesome. I would be jealous. Twins always seemed like a good deal to me. 2 babies one pregnancy. 4 would def. keep you on your toes. haha.
Keeping everything crossed. I know you will get your family somehow. And your little beaver Sam is hilarious! I had a puppy that ate doors once.
Aww Kelly, good luck on your fantastic endeavor! I am so excited for you and hope all the best. I love your blog posts and I can't believe that your baby is so big now! Time never really holds back for any of us, does it? Well, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You rock and I love you:-)
Praying for you, Kelly. You have amazing perspective. It must be pretty tricky having to lie down while little Sam consumes the walls. :)
