Starting Over

here I am again... back on the in-vitro roller coaster! which is both exciting and terrifying. we are starting from square one again since we had no more frozen embryos left :( However we are using a different Dr. this time (Dr. Marrs and Dr. Richards) they have great success rates, so we are very hopefull this time! I am currently on the lurpon injections right now and am hoping to start the bravelle injections the first week of December! which would mean the Egg retrieval would be sometime around December 12th or 13th! that seems so far away! hopefully it goes by fast with all the holidays coming up! wish me luck!

MiLo'S 7th BiRtHDaY!

Look at this sweet little baby! I cant believe he is 7 now! time has gone by so fast! we used to call this his "Tommy boy" face. He would smile really big and pull his chin back, and get all... chubby! and he had some CRAZY hair! he still is just as sweet as he was when he was a baby.

we started the day off right with Milo's favorite Birthday breakfast! which consisted of hash browns sausage and bacon and dutch babies (aka Swedish pancakes in mini muffin tins) mmmmm mmmmm!

This year all Milo wanted for his birthday was his room to be redone, so we gave him a little older room by painting it and adding a few new things and cool posters to it. He was really specific on the colors we could use and he really wanted under his loft bed to be an art studio! he was thinking that when kids came over they could purchase his art work, and that way he can earn money! what a great idea! LOVE IT!

The next day he had a luau/pool party with some Friends and family. It was tons of fun and as usual way to much food! but it was a great wrap up of Milo's Big Birthday Weekend! WE LOVE YOU MILO! HaPpy BiRThDaY!!!

I just had to throw in this picture of Auggie relaxing in Milo's new chair! he is so jealous of his big
brothers new room!

Summertime...

Bike Rides! we LOVE going on bike rides right now! Auggie likes to grab the back of my hair and pull on it, OUCH! Milo is such a good little rider, he loves to try and do jumps off the curb.

First Zucchini of the season! We have a garden at Nana and Papas house. It is amazing to see everything grow so fast!

Auggie's shoe fascination... Aug is obsessed with putting every ones shoes on, but I think these ones are my favorite! heels really do help the legs look more slender!

This is what you get when you you leave two bored boys with a roll of tape!

... And of course Aug had to see what all the fun was about!

Shirt off, outside, getting messy.... pretty much sums up our summer so far!

Fresh Start

Today we went and met with a new Dr. We just felt like we needed a fresh start, a second opinion, a new plan. the consultation went amazingly well. The Dr. was VERY personable, and took alot of time explaining every little detail with us (2 whole hours!) He and his partner are very knowledgeable in the field of infertility and have amazing success rates in achieving pregnancy through IVF. And to top it all off, it is WAY less expensive than at our previous clinic! However, it is still going to cost us around 9,000 dollars, so we are going to have to seek out ways to earn some extra cash... But if all goes well, which I am sure it will if this is what is suppose to happen, then we can hopefully proceed with Another IVF sometime this April or May! This gets me excited to think about, I know that may sound hard to believe, excitement for Shots, ultrasounds, blood draws, the horrid egg retrieval, and the dreaded 2 week wait? But I just feel this is suppose to happen. I don't know why, or how? but I have a good feeling about this.
