The Last shot!

Tonight is my last shot after doing 65 of them! That's right 65 shots,  one everyday. But it is all worth celebrating because we have a little bambino growing :) I am now 10 weeks pregnant!!! After our last failed Invitro cycle we decided to give it another try. This time went a lot better! We got 14 eggs and 7 of them fertilized and made it to day 3. We were able to put in  2 embryos and one of them took. I had some low hcg levels at first and it wasn't looking too promising but everything has been great and we have seen the baby's heart beat 3 times now. That is such an amazing thing! It truly is a miracle and we feel so blessed that God has blessed us with this little baby. I have had a lot more morning sickness (all day sickness) this time but have just started taking Zofran and have been feeling great the last couple of days! Now to decided if we will wait to find out the gender of this little guy. Jake wants to find out but I think it would be so much fun to wait until the end.

 Here is the box of about half of my shots. I had to put a lot of them in the refrigerator. These ones you just give in the stomach, they're not too bad.


 These are the more painful shots. Progesterone. They go into your hip or butt muscle. They aren't too bad at first. But once you have done them for a few weeks the oil starts to set up and you have hard little knots and bruises all over. This will be my last night of this shot, and I am so happy about it!
 Here are our 2 embryos that we put in. I really think it is amazing that I get a picture of my child as an embryo. That is definitely a perk of doing invitro!
 Here is our baby at 9 weeks. I wish the picture was a little better but o well.
I was able to surprise Jake at work to tell him we were pregnant. I ordered this cute shirt from Zoey's Attic online. They will custom make any shirt you want. They were so nice about it and I was so excited to do something fun to tell him. When he saw us I asked him if he liked Kambree's shirt? He read the front and that was it. He said, "Yeah that's nice". I asked him if he wanted to know the rest of the joke and he just looked at me funny. Then I showed him the back and he smiled really big! I am so excited Kambree gets to have a sibling.

Julie I am so happy for you guys!! I always thought about not finding out the gender when I've been pregnant, but I don't know if I could handle it.

Julie, Such wonderful news. Cute shirt too.

Jordan Ormond said...

Yay! I am so excited for you! I can now speak from experience and say having 2 is so much fun! ... and you know my vote on the finding out the gender: don't do it! We didn't find out on either of our girls and it made it all the more exciting at the end. Good luck and congratulations!

Congratulations!! I am so happy and excited for you! Progesterone shots are definitely a pain in the rear! :) I have to do them once a week when I am pregnant, but I don't know if I could handle everyday! I hope you start feeling better soon!
