OMGeeeezzz! Santa came to visit!

Our Christmas fun had begun! This weekend we kicked off our Christmas season. Saturday was the annual Christmas in Garwood events. My Mom is from GWood so we always go and join in the fun. They have Santa visits, craft booths and a cute little parade at sundown. This year we missed Santa but we visited a few booths for some hand painting and goodies and we caught the parade. It was really cute and the kids were very well behaved and even Cooper had a good time! Livy got a butterfly and heart painted on her hands and Cam got a green tractor. He loved that tractor!

Then on Sunday afternoon was our Popp Family Christmas with my Mom's side of the family. This year it was at Aunt Fae and Uncle Gregory's house. Here is where we got the biggest surprise of our lives... Santa came to visit and bring the kids a present! OMG! I think I was more excited and surprised than the kids were! At first the kids were a little unsure, but they warmed up to him a little bit. Cam was better than Livy and he even gave the "big guy" a high five! Thanks Aunt Fae for doing this for my kiddos - it is something we will never forget!

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!!!
