So here is a picture of our 5 embryos. The top 3 were transferred (chance of triplets is only 5%) the bottom 2 were left to grow and potentially freeze but they did not make it. :( I had my bedrest and am feeling fine. We now wait another couple weeks for the results.

The other big news is that our new windows are getting installed today!!! YAY!! I can't wait for work to end so I can see them!!!

So of the 9 eggs retrieved, 5 fertilized. As of today there were 2 8 cell embryos and one of them was perfect! There was 1 5 cell and 2 4 cells. We went ahead and transfered the 2 8 cells and the 5 cell. So as of this very moment we are pregnant with triplets!!! Just hoping that we are still pregnant with at least one 9 months from now. :)

So of the 9 eggs, 5 became embryos! YAY!!! We now look forward to Saturday and hope at least 2 of them make it. If there are 2 good ones, they will be put back into me where one or both of them will hopefully stay for the next 9 months. We'll have an idea in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the prayers and constant support!

All went well, I was fine until I went into the room. Then I got nervous! The anesthesiologist gave me some "margarita" and I felt better pretty quickly. After the doctor came in and they were all ready they told me to picture a beach and that was it, I was out, no counting!

They said I was only under for 10 minutes and they got 9 eggs. I came out of it all pretty quickly and Jamie was even able to stay until I was ready to leave. He then went straight to work and I came home. He was so sweet and kept tucking the covers around me and watching the monitor. It was real nice to have him there.

So my mom is out getting me a burrito, I am starving!!! I assume I will be ready for a nap after I eat.

Glad that is over! Can't wait for the fertilization report tomorrow!

Great news! Grandpas surgery went very well. YAY! I will be visiting him this afternoon and look forward to seeing how he is doing in person :)

On the baby making front. We are in the middle of our IVF cycle. Tomorrow I will be having my Egg Retrieval which is a very simple surgery. On Saturday we will hopefully have 2 embryos transferred and most importantly hope to find out we are pregnant in about 3 weeks. Feel free to email or call me if you want more details than that. You can also ask my mom because she is an expert at this point, having read every book that I have! :)

And just for the smile of it, pics from this weekend. They all include my favorite little girl, Ella.



Here is a great family picture. Avi, Ella and Stacie! Ella looks so cute, she's smiling.

Something really big happened yesterday!!!!

Can you guess????



I signed the contract and put down the deposit for our new windows!!!! I have been waiting for this for a year!!! I am so excited. He said he is going to fast track the order and hopes to have the windows in a week!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!

Thoughts and prayers for grandpa!!! He is going in on Monday to get a pacemaker installed. I think we are all very happy about this, hoping it will give him lots more energy and easier to do the normal things. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers. :)

Very excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mark the window guy is coming by tonight to measure the windows in the bedrooms and give our final amount!!! I am so excited! I will be asking him to give us a bid on the back door and also on building a hand rail for the front steps. Woo-hoo!!!!

I have the best husband ever!!!! I was haviing a drug induced mood swing yesterday that lasted about 24 hours (started Monday night) Jamie felt sorry for me and brought me these flowers last night and told me he loves me. Could I have done a better job picking my mate for life? I don't think so!

Here is Ella on her 6 week birthday with her mommy Stacey.


And with me!



Isn't she the cutest thing??!!!! We had Stacey, Avi and Ella over for dinner last night. Ella's very first dinner party! She was very well behaved and let me hold her tons. My arm is paying for this morning! I almost couldn't blowdry my hair.
