Product Review - Simply Bags

I am excited about this one! Some of my most favorite blogs that I follow do this with products all the time and I always thought how cool it would be to get to do this myself. There are so many companies out there that know that the best marketing tool is "word-of-mouth" advertising. I always wondered how to go about doing something like this when all of a sudden a few weeks ago I was contacted by Simply Bags requesting that I test and review a product and post a blog about it. Yay! Being a lover of bags (of all kinds) I jumped at the opportunity and I selected the Stylish Beach Tote of my choice. Within days my bag arrived and I absolutely love it! It was much larger than I expected - which is great since I have 3 kiddos now. I can put everything in it. In fact, I actually plan on using it to take to the hospital on Thursday for the arrival of #3! I took a picture of my new bag seen here, but Camron wanted in on the action and decided that it would be best if he actually modeled the bag for you - you know, to get a better idea of the size.

My 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!!!
