I finally got all of our pictures on the computer. Then I realized that we actually didn’t take that many photos. I guess that means that we had fun right? 🙂

Here are the pictures of Pixel. The one on the left is of Pixel, the one of the right is of Pixel’s heartbeat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We headed up to Malibu on December 27 so Darrell could go surfing with Tom

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then went to see Anders, our nephew:


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We spent New Years in Palm Springs with family:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also saw our niece Hazel:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that was pretty much it for vacation. We mainly just sat around hanging out. We saw a lot of other people, but like I said in the beginning, we were having to much fun actually hanging out that we forgot to take pictures.

The Good and the Bad.

Sorry it has been awhile since posting. we have been busy. We headed to California for the holidays and spent a lot of time visiting family. We had fun.

As many of you knew before we left, we have a bun on board. Our doctors appointment and first ultrasound was right before we flew to California. We were told that we were having twins. Baby A, who we are calling Bit, was measuring 6 weeks 3 days. Baby B, who we are calling Pixel, was measuring 6 weeks 5 days with a beautiful heartbeat. We were still on notice about Bit as there was no heartbeat. We told everyone we saw about them as we were excited.

When we returned back to Texas yesterday, we had a follow-up appointment to check for Bit’s heartbeat and make sure the babies were growing properly. Pixel is doing great and is right on schedule measuring 8 weeks 4 days. However, we have lost Bit. It was a little tough, but we are extremely thankful that we still have Pixel who is doing fabulous.

I will try to post pictures when I get them downloaded. Today is just a relaxing day while I recover from the traveling yesterday and the doctor’s news. Hope you all had a Happy New Year!

2 weeks

2 weeks from now, Darrell and I will be hanging out at my parents house enjoying our vacation with our families. We are so excited and know that this is something that we need. Living so far away makes it hard to see family. We are lucky that we are able to afford to go home and visit for vacation. It will definitely be nice when we move back to within decent driving distance and the ability to go home for a long weekend.

Other than that, we set up the house a little bit for Christmas. We didn’t want to go all out as we are leaving and will probably take it down before we leave. Basically, we only put up the tree :). The cats love it! When we are asleep or not home they love to get into it and since it is a fake tree, they bend the branches, so we know they were in it. But when we are home, they pretend that they want nothing to do with it. Those devils! Our neighbor has said she will watch them while we are gone, and we are hoping they handle the length okay. They seemed fairly irritated at us after the trip to Phoenix when we were gone for 9 days. This time we are going to be gone for 13 days. We shall see how much they tear up the house while we are gone.

We got a little snowstorm on Sunday night/Monday morning. It ended up dropping about 1.5 inches. It has been a really cold week. I think that yesterday was the highest temperature we had all week at 52. We are coming out of the cold front and next week is suppose to get up to the upper 60’s. The best part of this cold front for me has been that the cats have been really cuddly and lovey. They are always curling up as close to me as they can and they want lots of attention.

Third times a charm?

We sure hope so.

Today, We officially kicked off IUI #3.

We took the long drive to Dallas this morning to get the first ultrasound and get our medication orders for the next few weeks. It was a little confusing at first. There was a new doctor there, but she is just as nice as the rest of the clinic! We are so happy that we actually have an RE office that we don’t feel out of place in.

Plus, there was a mis-communication on which medications they were putting us on. We were originally told that it was going to be Menopur, which we took to mean Menopur and Clomid. Lisa told me that it was going to be Menopur and Clomid when I called in yesterday. Then today, the new doc and then our nurse told us we were on a Menopur only cycle. Bothered us a little bit since if we are on injectables only, the cycle is going to cost us $500 more for ultrasounds etc. Luckily it was straightened out and we are on Menopur and Clomid.

I have my fingers crossed and am hopeful that this cycle will work. Darrell hopes it works, but he is a little bit more pessimistic about it actually working. There is a chance that this could be our last one. We might have to cross the bridge later, but if this cycle doesn’t work, we will probably take a year or so off of trying before coming back to it. Hard decisions, but they need to be made.

I have a good feeling. Things are going to work. Optimism is what I need to hold onto right now.

Busy, Busy, Busy

We have been really busy lately. So much has happened in the last week and a half.

We got the jeep fixed. It ended up being about $320, but we needed it done. Once we get pregnant, we will start looking for a car to replace the jeep. But we are waiting until we have to as our mechanic said that it would give us a few more years after doing a full checkup on it. 🙂

My sister-in-law gave birth to a baby boy on October 20. He is a healthy, big baby named Anders. Momma, Baby, and Daddy are doing great! We are excited to get to see them in December.

Lorna came into Town on thursday and we didn’t end up getting the Futon until Monday as the company accidentally ordered a full instead of a queen. So they had to reorder another one and it didn’t arrive till Monday. At least we ended up getting it though.

I headed down to Houston Friday and Saturday. Spent some quality time with my good friend Sarah. Had a few drinks and enjoyed each others company and catching up. It was a short trip, but full of a lot of fun.

I have been really busy at work. It’s a good thing, but been keeping me really busy. Plus we have been helping Lorna fix up her motorhome. We have gotten really far on it and we are just putting the final touches on the motorhome and getting it ready for her to take home next week.

Last night, we drove to Dallas and enjoyed a small halloween party with the Metroplex Athiest group. We had a lot of fun.

So that is basically our last week or so in a nutshell. We have been busy people, but we feel that we are getting quite a bit done and we are excited to spend the next month home. There are a few things we have planned in December before our big trip to SoCal, but we still have a month until then.
