Snow in South Texas - 2009

Wow! It's snowing! Such a rare occasion in South Texas. And it's snowing a lot - it started around 7am this morning and now, at 3:30 it is still flurrying. It was best this morning around 10am or so and now it's sort of slushy and melty. Surely we got a good 4 inches or so. I just had to get a pic or 2 of the kids and their reaction to the snow, so I bundled them all up and here we are. I don't think they cared too much for it and Camron kept falling down so we didn't stay out too long. Brent is working in Orange, TX today which is on the way toward Louisiana and it is not snowing there. Also, he just called to tell me that they have to be back at that job tomorrow so they are just staying the night - so he is going to miss all this. I hope there is still a little left for him to see when he gets home. I feel bad that he is missing the babies first snow. :(

My Mother-In-Law came by and took this pic of our house.

This was the first pic I took this morning.

Camron getting knocked down by the deep snow.

He liked to look at it, but he didn't like falling down in it.

Here they come down the sidewalk in the snow.

This was the only smile I got out of either of them.

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!!!
