Since i havent had much to talk about i figured i would give a little history since im feeling kinda sad and excited that ky will be 1 in a week. it was a LONG road to get our little baby and that just makes him even more special. the hubby and i got married in 2008 and we knew we wanted kids right away. If it were up to him we would have tryed before but i wanted to get married first then have kids. i know so traditional lol well needless to say after the honeymoon the birth control went out the window(sorry tmi) anyway a few months went by and every month i thought i was preggo cause my monthly friend never came. finally after about 6 months i went to the doc and they gave me some meds to try and get everything going..... nothing happened. i was referred to a specialist and that is where the crazy road began...... let me say i owe everything to Shady Grover Fertility and especially my amazing nurse Sonia who listened to me cry on way too may occasions. With out her and the amazing doctors ky would not be here. so long story short we did 4 cycles of IUI and none of them worked. that all sounds pretty simple but that process is a few months per IUI not to mention the 6 month break we had to take because i hit my lifetime max with insurance at age 26?????? really how is that possible. Luckily the hubby had just started a new job and we switched to his once we were able. After the all failed attempts the doctors thought it would be best to move onto IVF which i was nervous about because that actually required me to be put to sleep etc.... but i wanted a baby so bad i was willing to to anything. its kinda funny because it all seems so long ago and i remember at one point i was giving myself 3 shots a day and driving into baltimore city every morning for bloodwork..(ouch 4 needles a day) we got through our 1st ivf cycle on a saturday and on sunday we went to visit my FIL in the nursing home(we have a 2 week period until we can take a pregnancy test) my FIL was looking great and his spirits were up. He asked us who was having a baby( not knowing we had just gone through IVF the day before) hubby said well we just had the procedure yesterday but wont know anything for 2 weeks. my FIL kept smiling and hugging me like he knew something:) the next day my hubby got the worst call ever. His dad had passed away and no one was expecting it. it was a rough 1 1/2 weeks planning and saying goodbye to my FIL. the weekend before my blood test my hubby said to take an at home preggo test but i was too scared that it would be negative. i knew he couldn't take anymore bad news. i went to the $ store because i was tired of spending $$$$ on expensive tests and they would be neg. well to my shock i thought I saw 2 lines but i wasnt sure. i took a pic of the test and sent it to o a few friends asking what they thought. they all said i was for sure pregnant but I just didnt believe it after all of these years. I made hubby go get a good test that actually said pregnant or not pregnant... 3min later pregnant started flashing on the screen...............and now here we are with the happiest and most loved baby... about to be one year old. i get teary eyed retelling the story and missing my FIL but i know that he had a part in bringing ky to us and he is always watching down protecting him.
this is my most precious gift
