Halloween 2010!!!

Halloween was GOOD this year! As soon as the kids woke up from naps we hurried to put on our costumes. Immediately when Livy got in hers she freaked out and wanted it off. Well, it was a cheap 'ol thing from Wal-Mart and I think the material was itching her. So I put some of her PJ's on and then the costume over that. It helped, but she still wasn't happy. I was so disappointed because I thought this was going to ruin the Trick-or-Treating plans (for all of us). Well, luckily I remembered the Halloween flashlights my Mom had bought for them and as soon as I gave those to them she forgot all about that costume. Phew! So we all loaded up in the car and headed to town. We made our stops at Grandma Kana's, Momo and Popo's, Uncle Timmy's, and finally Mimi and Pawpaw's. That is a ton of work for us parents having to load and unload (all in car seats) everyone at each stop! My gosh we were worn out! Then when we got back home (just before dark) I put Cam and Livy in the wagon and we headed to Henson St. We absolutely LOVE our neighborhood and all our great neighbors! Just down the road on Henson St. lives our Aunt Christine, and my friends Shelly and Stephanie. All three of their houses are all in a row so that was really convenient for us! LOL. There were a few others along the way that we know so we stopped there too. Then we headed back home to Daddy and Cooper and we hung out on the porch the rest of the evening greeting Trick-or-Treaters that came to our house. We didn't have too many so mainly we just ate candy out of the kids buckets. Cam and Livy were super hyped up on sugar and they were running around like crazy - But I did manage to get them to eat a grilled cheese sandwich to try to combat the tummy ache that was sure to follow.

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!!!
