6 Month Checkup

Our Doctor's appointment was very interesting today. Olivia threw a fit! She has never done this before and I really thought something was wrong with her because it was like she was in pain. As soon as we get into the room the first thing they do is get weighed. As soon as we put her down on that scale she started screaming and crying uncontrollably and it lasted for entire checkup! Dr. Dimmeck thinks the terrible two's are starting early and he said that was definitely a tantrum - that she realized where she was and remembered that it was not a good place to be. So here are the results of the checkup: Olivia weighs 14.5 lbs. and is 25" tall. Camron is 16.5 lbs. and is 26" tall. We always thought Camron had a big head, but his is only 3/4 of an inch larger than Livy's. We finally get to start solids - even though they aren't big formula eaters. We are going to start with green vegetables twice a day and work our way up. After the doctor appt. we went to visit Grandma Kana and guess what we ate when we got home.... PEAS!

5 Years of Infertility

Brent and I had dated for years - since my senior year of High School and were finally married on September 27, 2003. We had been together so long that we decided we would start a family immediately. Things turned out to be a bit more difficult than we planned. After many years of trying and medical intervention I was finally diagnoised with Endometriosis in Feb. of 2007. My disease was severe - stage 4 and had spread to my liver. After having exploratory surgery Dr. Cook thought that my ovaries and tubes were capable of functioning properly enough to produce a pregnancy but with the hostile environment inside of me I would need lots of help. We began Lupron therapy that would last 6 months as a way to try to "kill" off some of the endo. When the 6 months was up we began rounds of Clomid with IUI (Intra-Uteran Insemination). We did 2 cycles of this with no result. Our only other option was IVF which we decided to begin in January of 2008. After carefully following the treatment schedule of meds. and shots we had 14 eggs retrieved on Feb. 5, 2008 and of the 14 eggs 6 fertilized and became embryos. On Feb. 8, 2008 Dr. Gill transfered 3 of the best of the embryos. Two weeks later (Feb. 22nd) MaryLou called with the good news that my pregnancy test was positive!!!
