Baby News...

So I was looking at my blog and... wow! So much has happened since my last post. A super fast run down.... Well we did IVF a 5th time. I know I said my 4th was the last, but I decided not to give up just yet. Well the 5th cycle failed, but there was one embryo left to be frozen. After 5 cycles this was the first time I ever had any left to be frozen, so yay! But we decided to take a break from fertility treatments and we took the foster care licensing classes, which were great! We also completed all of our adoption paperwork and home study. Then we had to wait... We had to wait for our FBI background checks before our Adoption profile could be posted for potential birth moms to see. They told us it usually took 3-4 months to get back. So meanwhile, a year since our last fertility treatment came up, and we knew that meant we still had a frozen embryo, and we were going to have to start paying a $700 yearly fee for keeping it frozen. So I had to decide... Did I want to pay $700 to keep it frozen for another year, or pay $2500 to have it put back and see if it stuck. Well I decided to see a new doctor. Still in the same practice, just a new person. Well he told me what he thought our problem was (which I had already thought myself, but my other doctor disagreed)... So we had some more testing done, and we found an issue... but there was treatment we could try. So I said ok Doc, lets use that frozen embryo and try out the treatment. So this was IVF number 6. We figured why not since we were still waiting for background checks anyway... A little more than a week after my transfer they took my blood and called me with the results.... I was at school, and it was a day I was working in the kitchen so I couldn't be away long. When the nurse called she said, "So we have some good news for you..." And I'm thinking... hmm what does that mean? She told me my numbers and yep, you're pregnant. I was in complete shock, and I just started sobbing when I called to tell Kylle. I had to get myself together because I had to get back into the kitchen... My first ultrasound was the coolest day ever. We saw a tiny little bean and the baby's heart beat. I was like, there really is something in there? I am 17 weeks now, and I still feel like.... there is a little person in there?? We are so excited!!! Hopefully we will find out the gender next week, and I just can't wait to meet this little person!
