Big News

It has been way too long since I put anything on here. I just didn't feel like there was anything to talk about until now.
The first round of IVF didn't take. That was really hard on both of us. All the shots, pills and hopes seemed dashed. We talked about our options to Dr Mansfield and she agreed that we should wait and try again when we were ready.
The summer was great. We had a long vacation to Vegas and back. It was Doug, me and my mom on a driving trip for almost 2 weeks. We saw a lot of really great things that we wouldn't usually since we always fly.
When we got back from vacation we decided to try the IVF again. We went in for the implant on Nov 30. We went a different route though. More shots. This time progesterone. They have to be IM and so Doug has gotten quite handy with the needle in my bobo.
We went in for the first pregnancy test on December 9. So stressful waiting but then the phone call came and the test was positive. The number was 187. They wanted us to come back on Sun to take another to make sure that the numbers were increasing. They were into the 300.
We went in on Dec 27 for our first sonogram with Dr Mansfield. So scared. She said the baby was doing fine and the heartbeat was looking great. We go in on Jan 10 for our next.

Only 5 more weeks and we make it past the first trimester. Fingers crossed that all is well.
