Sam and his "crocodile" from his Big Brother, Will :)
Happy Friday! I have some wonderful news to share - Samuel Dean was born this morning. We were able to swing by the hospital to visit tonight - he and his mommy were doing well. Will is now a big brother and was sporting a cute big brother t-shirt. And Sam's daddy enjoyed taking picture of me while I took pictures of Sam and the frog. So happy for the Blickhan family!! We love you guys!
Sam is in good company as he shares his birthday with our first President (George Washington), my dear friend (ELAINE!!!), and our little neighbor buddy (Ethan). :) We hope they all had wonderful birthdays, too.
Tonight I'd like to request that everyone redirect their prayers for us to the Robbins family! Sherrie is 27 weeks pregnant with their twin girls. And her water broke this evening, so she's in the hospital trying to keep them in for at least 24 more hours. We know that God will look after Josclyn's mommy and her new baby sisters that are on their way! Lots of love and hugs to K-Rob and his 4 girls!
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.
