Today was a pretty typical Tuesday - went to work, taught my aerobics class, and headed home. On my way home from aerobics I did stop by Toys 'R Us to pick a birthday gift for little Jenna who turned 3 this week. :) After I showered, I ended up spending the rest of my night uploading photos to Facebook (the girls were asking for the NKOTBSB photos), tagging people in the photos, and then responding to people's comments.
Thought of the Day: A Japanese proverb: 雨降って地固まる (ame futte ji katamaru) Literally: after the rain, earth hardens Meaning: Adversity builds character./After a storm, things will stand on more solid ground than they did before.
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.
