Today marks the one year anniversary that Jayson and I made the trip to Kansas City for our transfer date. We had so many emotions that day. It wasn’t our first transfer, however it was our first transfer at the Kansas City location and the first transfer using donor eggs. We were nervous and excited…
I can’t believe the girls are already two months old. Where has the time gone? It has definitely flown by for us. I have been meaning to write a blog for awhile now, however my time has been taken up by those sweet girls! My last post was talking about being on bed rest and…
Today I am officially 34 weeks pregnant and 6 days. Time is going so fast! Last week on Tuesday I went in for my scheduled checkup. My doctor was out of town on vacation so I had my appointment scheduled with the midwife. When she took my blood pressure she seemed concerned, of course which…
As of Wednesday, we were officially 24 weeks pregnant! It’s still so surreal to me but is becoming more real each day. For those of you that don’t know, 24 weeks is the first huge milestone in pregnancy. It is the threshold of viability. Meaning that for whatever reason, if they were to be…
Where has the time gone? I can’t believe that on Wednesday we will be 19 weeks along. I have to admit, I have spent most of this pregnancy not really believing that this is actually happening! I spotted from 5.5 weeks until just about 11 weeks. It had stopped at that point and everything was…
Last week on Monday, November 6th, Jayson and I had our second ultrasound appointment with our doctor in Wichita. I was excited but also a little nervous considering my spotting had continued the entire time between my two appointments. While the doctor told me not to be concerned about it, that was easier said than…
It has been almost a month since we have updated everyone on where we are at in the process. We know people are getting curious as we have been receiving lots of questions about where we are, how things are going, what’s the next step, etc. In all honesty, we have been kind of avoiding…
I am beyond excited to share that I received a call at the end of the day yesterday letting me know that our three remaining embryos were able to be frozen!!! We did four rounds of IVF and never had any make it to freeze. They have to reach a certain quality before they can…
Yesterday morning Jayson and I drove to Kansas City for our transfer. We hadn’t heard anything about our embryos since Thursday when I received a call from KU med. She told me that of the six eggs we had purchased, all six survived the thaw and five of those fertilized normally. Shortly after that, I…
We had our appointment yesterday for the thaw and fertilization of the six eggs. I have to say it was very odd for me to not really have anything for this appointment. When we were doing IVF, the fertilization day was also my egg retrieval so I was in surgery. This time was quite easy…
