Two quick notes of update amidst the hectic life we are living currently...
-Our home is almost ready to list...we have been, with the help of Gammy, prepping everything for our video shoot on Monday. The game plan is to list it by Wednesday. Once its all prepped, I am hoping it will not be too much to keep up on. While it won't be a breeze, I keep telling myself to do a little touch-up every day and it'll be looking sharp for any showing at any time. And I will pray it sells quickly (and not at a loss=())
-On the IVF front....the great news, for those that kind of understand the whole bizarre process, is that I had 30 follicles, recovered 24 mature eggs, 21 fertilized....and they transplanted 2 embryos on Thursday. What next, you ask?? A long 2 weeks of waiting to get a blood test to confirm/deny that they took! I honestly CANNOT even fathom doing that again. If only for that mere fact alone, we are PRAYING that those babies found a safe warm home in my uterus. For you fertile women out there that look at your husbands and get prego...you better thank God an extra little bit tonight for all the pain/anguish/suffering you have been saved!! I just sat in an OB/GYN room full of women who would give everything and then some to have a baby of their own. Babies in all shape and size are TRULY miracles from the beginning.

yeah!!! we're praying for positive results for you guys!!
miss you!!
We'll say an extra special prayer for you guys :) I hope all is succesful.
Shawna, I could not agree more about babies being miracles, but even more so, healthy babies! I think people look at me like I'm crazy when I talk to passionately about things like that...but it is truly amazing to me that people have normal, healthy babies.
We will keep you in our prayers! I mean seriously, how could Heavenly Father resist sending his babies to such a great family?!
I just.... think you are heroic... I am really speechless. I will pray for those sweet little babies... and hope the suffering will be soon forgotten.
lots of love.
ps- it's Davis in regards to my post. Oh how we hope!
Babies truly are miracles! So now are you preparing for the option of multiples? How exciting:)
I hear ya! As someone who has gone through the adoption process, I have really realized what a blessing and miracle babies are. And I married into a family of women who just look at their hubbies and get pregnant :) No matter how they come, it is a miracle and the right babies come to the right families at the right time. You will be in our prayers!
Guess we shall add you to our prayer list!
Oh Shawna! You guys have gone through a lot. Babies are miracles and I KNOW that and appreciate it. With the whole IVF thing, sounds like you have a good thing goin on. That's a lot of follies!
The 2WW is always the hardest. I am convinced its even harder when you have invested so many tears, stress, money and time into it. I will be praying for you guys and keep us updated!!
