What a pretty day!

Finally, we have a beautiful day outside! This cold weather has become very unwelcome and all of us really needed some sunshine in our lives... I mean, seriously, we live in South Texas for a reason! While the temps are still a little chilly the sun sure did warm us up on the front patio this morning - even Cooper came out and he was so happy! Here are some pics of our morning on the porch.

OMG! They ran up and down the sidewalk like this about 20 times! Please ignore the dead grass creeping onto the cement and also please ignore the neighbors junk in the background!

Cooper - Happy as usual!

Oh, and Cupid came and visited me a little early this year! ;)

*** So I just noticed that my Cookie Co. watermark is on these pics and I'm too lazy to go back and redo them. Ahhhh.....

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!

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!!!
