Sad

So we did in vitro on March 3rd. I felt good about everything and felt like it was easier than last time. But when I took a Beta test it came back negative. It did not work and to make things a little worse I have no more frozen embryos. 2 of our frozen embryos did not live through the thaw. So unless a miracle happens and $15,000 falls into our lap or I get pregnant on my own. We will not be having any more kids. I am sad but extremely grateful to have my son.

New Year brings....

It has been a long time since I have blogged. It has just been crazy with Christmas and moving and a new edition to my family (Nikki's new baby). Now it is 2009 and I can't believe how time flies.
On New Year's eve we found out that our insurance will pay for Invitro Fertilization again. So in finding out this information we changed all of our plans (we were going to move to Redding, California the first of January). We are now on the fast tract to have a baby. This time it will be a little different because we have 4 frozen embryo's that have been hanging out since the first time. So basically they were conceived the same time as Ethan but are waiting to enter my uterus. I start all the injections Feb. 7th and then if everything goes well we transfer the embryos on March 4th to my uterus. I am very excited to start this process again. I was not sure if we would ever be able to do this again due to the financial cost. Along with the excitement comes a little anxiety too. All the emotions that go along with the process and unless you have dealt with infertility you probably will never know exactly how it feels. So if you read this please pray for us!! Pray that God will grant us a new baby and that the process with go as smoothly as it did the first time.

Halloween Fun!

Here is a recap of last weeks Halloween fun. I am sorry the pictures are out of order and I tried to fix them but got frustrated so I am just leaving them.

First we carved some pumkins. Ethan really enjoyed that this wasw his first time. He thought the stuff was eeeeewwwweee inside. Then we went trick or treating in the big town of price with my parents. If he had his choice he would choose a sucker everytime. We have so many suckers. Then we entered our dog Jackson in a contest for the best Halloween costume. We took 2nd Place and won $50. It was suppose to be just doing it for Ethan benfit but ended up winning so it was really fun. The other picture is the kids and dog that won first place. They were men in black and really cute.

Birthday Party

So we had the boys birthday party this last weekend. It was really fun and they really enjoyed opening up presents this year. There favorite present was a Diego Bike from Aunt Meginn. Also Bill had this friend that made this awesome pinata. The boys theme was pirates but it was too hot to have their jackets that went with the costume. I still can't believe it has been two years.

My Baby is turning 2 years old!

I can't believe it was 2 years ago that my baby boy was born. I actually had him on his due date. Actually that should not of been hard to predict since he was an invitro baby and we now that exact time he was conceived in the doctor office. Anyways, my water broke but not like it does on the movies. I was just leaking a little and so I called labor and delivery and they said the baby is probably just sitting on your bladder. If it continues check back in a couple of hours. About an hour past and I was having contractions and Bill was bugging me to go to the hospital (but I did not want to because I watch Nikki go to the hospital about 4 times before with false labor). I went to go to the bathroom and all of sudden there was a big gush and my it looked like I peed my pants. I changed and we packed up everything and headed to the hospital. When we got to the front doors of the hospital it happened again and so I walked into the hospital looking like I peed my pants. They checked me and after some drugs Ethan was born at 3:40 a.m.
I must admit he was a hard baby but it was not his fault he had acid refluex really bad and had a hard time sleeping through the night. Once he hit 6 months old he grew out of it and he was a sweet, happy, baby.
He has been amazing 2 years. I am so greatful that God gave me an opportunity to be a mom. It has been the hardest job I have ever had but the most rewarding. He is such a joy to watch grow and learn. He melts my heart everytime I hear the most precious words "Mamma luv you." Happy Birthday Baby Boy! I love you very much.

What the Heck?

Today I went to mail and what did I see. The Pirate costumes from Old Navy.com. What the heck they said they were lost in the mail. I should of been sooo excited but I am not because 2 hours before that I had bought another costume on ebay. So now I have 2 costumes. I must admit they are really cute.

Old Navy

I am sooo disappointed. I have been planning Ethan 2ND Birthday for months now. I even made the invitation myself. I am not very crafty but I could not find any I liked on line. Anyways I ordered him the cutest costume from Old Navy.Com. I have been waiting for 2 weeks for this costume to show up. Ethan and his cousin Malachi were going to be matching and share there Birthday's since they are only 3 weeks apart. Everything was going to be sooo cute but yesterday when the costumes did not show up I called the help line. And wouldn't you know it they lost them in the mail. And of course they are sold out!! I am so mad and all they said was we will return your money. Thanks alot for your help Old Navy.
