Cooper - 1 Month and Cam & Livy - 23 Months

Well, Cooper is 1 month old today! He is a really good baby and he is getting really big. He is stretching his newborn onesies to the max! I am PROUD to report that he slept for SIX hours last night. I put him down at 10pm and the next time he got up was 4am! And then after that he went right back to sleep (and so did I) until almost 8am! The only down side to this is that I feel like so far today all I have done is feed this guy - I guess he is making up for what he didn't eat last night.

Check out that fat tummy!

The twins were 23 months on Friday and I am making all the final plans for their Birthday party next month! They are so cute and fun at this age! They repeat EVERYTHING you say and they are so funny to listen to. They love music and even sing the words to some of their favorites like California Girls (Katy Perry), Baby I Like It (Enrique) and My First Kiss (3Oh!3). Olivia loves all her baby dolls now and is constantly changing their diapers and burping them (like she sees me doing with Cooper). Also, she is obsessed with giving Cooper his paci - even when he is sleeping! Ugh.

Camron is still just chilled out and soft spoken and he is the sweetest little guy - giving me kisses and hugs out of the blue without me even asking for them. He could care less about what Cooper is doing. Camron loves to wear his flip-flops and he could eat Trix all day long.

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!!!
