Today I met one of the newest sets of twins to be born to El Campo parents.

So just for fun, I am going to attempt to list all these families - and these are just the ones I know of! If I missed anyone let me know and I'll add them.

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!
28 Weeks - Admitted to the hospital for 90% effacement of cervix. Cerclage still in tact but pulling. If it broke I would have to deliver and this is too soon. The babies are measuring 2.8 and 2.11 pounds. Was in the hospital for 23 days this time.
31 Weeks - Was sent home. Babies were 3.9 and 3.10 pounds. Stay on bed-rest.

Babies Born October 3, 2008!!!

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!!!
