Our Trip To Houston

Today we went to Sugarland for the babies 6 month portraits and some shopping. I am glad to report I spent every bit of my garage sale money and then some. I got clothes and so did the babies. Between Mom and myself they scored pretty good! Well, let me explain these photos: Olivia does not like men! She is the biggest Daddy's girl in the world but any other man makes her, well - upset. Guess what? Our photographer was male! Every time that dude tried to say anything to her to make her smile she would burst out in tears. Then our waiter at Red Lobster (a guy) scared her so every time he would come to the table for something she would go off. I hope this is just a phase - a really short one. Anyway, here are the photos.

Labay Family said...: Thanks for the comment Britni! We go to Portrait Innovations. Brittany takes her little girl there so we tried it and I love it. They take a ton of pics, they aren't that expensive and you take them home with you that same day. Also, they give you a CD with every shot on it so you can download them to use however you like. It is located in Sugarland by DSW Shoe Warehouse.; April 8, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Britni said...: That's where we went to have some Valentine's Day pics taken and the chick that took them was awful and could only dig up some rose petals for props. I pretty much had to tell her what to do for each picture and she didn't have a clue. I'm glad to hear you've had great luck and the pictures are perfect so I'll go back, but request someone different than Alicia I think was her name. Anyway..thanks for the info!; April 8, 2009 at 6:38 PM

My Pregnancy

Feb. 22, 2008 - Positive Pregnancy!
Feb. 28, 2008 - TWINS!
14 Weeks - Cervical Cerclage
24 Weeks - Admitted to the hospital for 3 days -Pre-Term Labor. Sent home on fetal monitoring and terbutaline pump. I have to monitor for contractions once a day and send the readings in for review. The terbutaline pump in a cathater in my leg that sends a contiunous flow of "anti-contraction" medicine into me. Complete bed-rest!

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!!!
