We had a great Labor Day weekend with family and friends! Amidst all the fun, I was able to make lots of progress on our thank you cards. I'm done with the thank you notes from our Charlotte, Galion, & Columbus showers!! Feels good - only about 20 other cards to go for other gifts that folks have sent to us. Then I will be all caught up!! :) It's good that I enjoy writing out thank you cards because we have had soooo many family, friends, and a few folks we've never met to thank for their generosity!
My husband and I got married in 2005 and tried to start our family back in January 2008. We started our 1st round of in-vitro in December 2010 - which is when this blog was started. Despite a near perfect cycle, it resulted in a negative pregnancy test in February 2011. We were fortunate to get 6 extra embryos from that cycle that were frozen. In March 2011 we started a Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle. Despite another great cycle (on paper), all 6 of our frozen embryos had to be thawed to get 2 good ones for transfer - which failed to result in a pregnancy. In 2012, we took the first half of the year off and then tried a couple rounds of IUI with and without fertility shots - still no baby. In 2013, we did our 2nd round of in-vitro with my sister offering to be our gestational carrier. We ended up transferring 2 embryos into each of us and were blessed to welcome 4 babies in October 2013.
