The appointment this morning was amazing! We saw one beautiful heartbeat! It was beating at 122 beats per minute. I can't believe how much our little sweet pea has grown since last week, it is amazing!
Dear God,
Thank you so much for watching over us!
Love,
Alicia & Bob
Dear Baby,
Mommy and Daddy loved seeing you today and your tiny heartbeat! We can't wait to hear that beautiful sound next week!
We love you!

Tomorrow is our 2nd ultrasound. I am really hoping and praying that we see the beautiful heartbeat! I think that is when this will really hit me.
It was brought to my attention by someone else's blog that I follow that this week is National Infertility Awareness Week. I would have never known that something like this was even out there. Infertility is so aweful and I just feel for any couple that has to deal with it. I NEVER thought that Bob and I would be a couple that would have those struggles but we were. I think God gave us this challenge because he knew we could handle it. Going through something like this truly made our marriage stronger and taught us to lean on one another. I am not saying this was easy - it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through. I can't even count the number of nights that I cried myself to sleep, the number of times that my heart would just ache whenever I saw a pregnant woman or a baby, the number of times I was so jealous of people who could get pregnant easily, the number of times I was so scared that we would never have a child, the number of times I felt like my life was just a black hole and I was never going to get out of it. Infertility really did test my faith but my faith in God is so much stronger after having gone through this, it had to be. It got to a point where I felt like God was the only person I could turn to because I knew that He would give me what my heart truly desired. I don't know if I can say that I wish we hadn't had to go through this because part of me does wish that. But I do know that having had dealt with infertility I can say that I will never take for granted the wonderful miracle that I have been so blessed to experience. This perfect, tiny baby is so loved and will know everyday how much their Mommy and Daddy wanted them in this world.
Dear God,
Please bless and watch over all of those couples in the world struggling with infertility. Please help them to see the reason for the challenge and please help them to get their hearts desire.
Please bless our tiny baby and let his/her heartbeat be strong tomorrow so that we can see it!
Love,
Alicia & Bob
Dear Baby,
We could never express how very, very blessed we feel that you have entered our lives. You are such a miracle that we will forever cherish!
We love you so much!

Sweet Pea
Our little miracle is now the size of a pea! This week the nose, mouth and ears are beginning to form - so cool! I am sure that nose, mouth and ears will be getting tons and tons of kisses! Their arms and legs are now protruding buds. His/Her heart is beating twice as fast as mine and the blood is going throughout their tiny body. It is so amazing to read about all of this! Such a beautiful miracle!
I can't believe that I am 6 weeks today. I am a bit sick today but Bob bought me those bands that people use for cruises and they seem to help a bit. My appetite is next to nothing also. And I am REALLY tired today but I think it's because of the weekend I had. My mom and I had my niece and nephew all weekend - they are hard work but SO much fun!
Our next ultrasound is Thursday, I am pretty sure we will see the heartbeat then - really excited!
Dear God,
Thank you for your continued blessings!
Love,
Alicia & Bob

First Ultrasound
We had our first ultrasound this morning. We saw ONE beautiful sac and yolk! The nurse said everything looked great, my ovaries are still huge from the drugs but she said that was completely normal and they would start to go down. So that's why I am still so darn bloated! I kept telling Bob that I had swollen ovaries and he didn't believe me, so now he does, ha! No heartbeat yet but that is completely normal and nothing to worry about. The nurse is pretty sure that we will see it next week. Yes, I go for another ultrasound next week, she said that I will go every week for the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy (or as long as my insurance will allow). I am going to get spoiled with that many ultrasounds!
I could literally hear Bob sigh out loud when the nurse said that she sees one sac! He was so nervous that we would have twins. I know it's still early and another one could pop up but I truly believe that this ONE baby in here is our perfect little miracle! I thought I would be sad if there was one but I am not at all, I am so excited! (My mom on the other hand I think is a bit disappointed).
Dear God,
Thank you so much for your blessings! Please watch over our baby and help it to continue to grow healthy and strong!
Love,
Bob & Alicia
Dear Baby,
Mommy and Daddy were so happy to see you today! It still doesn't seem real to us, you are just a tiny little sac on the screen. I hope we see your heartbeat next week, I think that's when it will really hit Mommy that you are there!
We Love You so Much Baby!

Exciting - tomorrow is the ultrasound. I know it is really, really, really early so there is a good chance that we won't see much at all except for a circle or something but I am just excited to get reassurance that everything is ok. I also have my final blood draw tomorrow, I can't imagine what my HCG levels will be then.
I feel really good today! I was super tired this morning on the train but I took a nap and have felt pretty good since about 10:00 a.m.! I haven't felt nauceous at all today, which is so nice! I have heard from a lot of people that morning sickness will really start to kick in at week 6 which is only a few days away for me! Hopefully I won't get it too bad but for some reason I just have a feeling I will.
My wonderful husband is spoiling me rotten! He is doing my laundry today! I asked him just to take it downstairs for me but he said he would do it. I will probably have to refold everything but at least it will be clean! I am so lucky to have him!
Dear God,
Please watch over us tomorrow at our doctor's appointment. Please continue to bless our baby!

5 Weeks
Today I am exactly 5 weeks! Only 35 more to go - wow that's a long time! I bet it will fly by fast though. Our little baby is the size of an appleseed right now - it is so amazing to think about that! The heart also will start beating this week although we might not see it on the ultrasound yet because it is still too early.
I know it's crazy but Bob and I already started talking about names. But it's a good thing we did because there are no names that we agree on! I like different names and he likes more common, old-fashioned names. So I have a feeling this is going to take us the full pregnancy to agree on. Thank goodness we can find out the gender because I can't imagine having to agree on a boy and a girl's name! We will be lucky enough to agree on just one!
I also went on a bit of a shopping spree this weekend! Not for the baby but for me! I bought a few maternity clothes. They are so cute and I can't wait to wear them. All of the Fall/Winter clothes are on clearance right now, so that is great that I am able to get them at a good price because that is when I will really need them. I think this summer I can get away with all of the empire things they have out now. But I did buy a couple of capris for the summer - they are so comfortable that I want to wear them now! I will hold myself back from doing that though. Although I probably could have gotten away with them last week - I was still SO bloated (I think from all of the fertility drugs) but my bloat is starting to go down now, I can button my jeans and pants again.
I started thinking about grandparents and it got me sad. Our beautiful baby will only know what it is like to have one set of grandparents (my parents). It makes me so sad to think that Bob's mom and dad will not be around to see this beautiful life that we created - yes I know they will be watching from heaven but we won't have pictures or anything. How can we ever explain to this child how wonderful his Grandma and Grandpa Baker were! It makes me feel so blessed that I grew up with all four of my grandparents most of my life!
Only 2 more days until our ultrasound - I am SO excited! I think everything will feel more real then!
Dear God,
You are so good! Please continue to bless our little family. Also, please bless all of those couples out there that are still struggling with infertility.
Love,
Alicia & Bob
Dear Baby,
Mommy and Daddy are SO excited to see you on Thursday! We just want you to know that even though you are so small right now you are the biggest miracle in our lives and we love you SO much already!

Second Set of Blood Work
I just got the results of the second set of blood work that I had to do today and the levels are rising great! I am so excited! I go for my next set of blood work next Thursday and I will have an ultrasound too! That is when we will know how many are in there. I truly think that it is just one because of the levels of my blood. I am totally fine with that. I just want to make sure that I have a healthy baby!
I am exhausted all of the time and sick to my stomach but it is actually comforting because I know that it's for a good reason. I think I would be more worried if I felt fine. I have been reading every book I can get my hands on. I never read or even learned that much about pregnancy before because A-I never had a reason too and B-I always thought that would jinx me. Bob is so excited! He has been spoiling me rotten - making me dinner, doing all of the house work and rubbing my back as I go to sleep! We laugh when we call each other Mommy and Daddy! It's amazing, I never thought I could love Bob anymore than I already do but ever since we got this fabulous news on Tuesday my love for him has just grown even more! I can't believe that we created a life together that is now growing inside of me, what a cool miracle I get to experience. I am so blessed and so lucky! I will NEVER take these moments for granted!
Dear God,
Thank you so much for your blessings! We are so gratful for everything you have given us! Please bless our little family in the coming 8 months!
Love,
Alicia & Bob
Dear Baby,
Mommy and Daddy are so excited that you are growing healthy so far! We already love you so much! You are going to be the best Christmas present that either of us has ever received. We can't wait to see you on December 21st!
We Love you!
Mommy & Daddy
PS - I just read this back to myself and am now crying my eyes out. Oh boy the hormones! LOL!

One More Day
Tomorrow is the big day! Tomorrow we will find out if our dreams will come true! I cannot wait for it to get here but at the same time I am so scared for it to get here. I have not taken anymore tests, I just don't want to put myself through that roller coaster anymore. We will go in for our blood work at 6:30 a.m. but we won't get the results until 3:00 p.m., so it is going to be a very long day!
Dear God,
Please continue to watch over us. Thank you for all of the blessings you have given us thus far. Please let us hear the results that we want to hear tomorrow.

I first want to apologize for my downer post yesterday. I was just in a huge funk yesterday. I am still in that funk a bit today but nothing like I was then.
I had a dream last night that I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I woke up this morning in somewhat of a panic over it and decided to take a test. I shouldn't have done that! The test was negative just like my dream. So of course I cried my eyes out this morning. I wasn't going to tell Bob what I did but he could tell that something was wrong so I broke down and told him. God Bless Him, he is just so upbeat about everything and thinks that it's just too early, I really hope he is right. I used a test strip that I got for free when I ordered a Fertility Monitor a LONG time ago. The strip did not come with any directions so I am not even sure if I did it right but I am pretty sure I did. I don't think those pick up early detection though like some of those out there. I do have some of the more expensive ones at home but I don't think I am going to test anymore, it's just too depressing to see the negative results. The only time I might test again is the morning of my bloodwork so that I am prepared for when the nurse calls. I really wish that Tuesday would be here! Hopefully with the holiday coming up this weekend that will make the weekend go by fast and then I just have to get through one LONG day at work on Monday.
Dear God,
Please forgive me for doubting you yesterday. I know that you are not punishing me and that there is some reason that you are having me struggle right now. I know I don't know the answer to why but I am really, really trying to just trust in you and know that you will watch over us and help us to acheive our goal of becoming parents. Please continue to bless these 2 embryos that are inside of me right now, please help them to continue to grow. Sunday is Easter, a time to celebrate your reserection, Easter is about new life - I hope that you will bless us with a new life very, very soon.
Love,

Still Waiting
We are still just sitting and waiting for our blood test on Tuesday. I really think this is the worst part of the whole process! I over-analyze everything that happens with my body and it is driving me crazy. I am not having a good day today, mentally. I woke up and noticed that my face is starting to break out, my face always breaks out before my monthly visitor shows up. So on the train on my way into work this morning I obsessed the whole time and started crying, how embarassing! And now I am just sitting at my desk at work just staring at the clock willing it to be 4:30 so I can go home when it is only 8:30 right now, so a LONG day is a head of me. Why is this all happening to me? What am I being punished for? What did I do wrong?
Dear God,
Please, please let these babies inside me be growing right now. I know you have a plan for us but I just can't imagine getting through something like the failure of this. Please help me to understand what I did wrong in your eyes and help me to know why I am being punished.

The Waiting Game
Here I am playing the waiting game. Just waiting for next Tuesday to be here so that I can find out if this worked! Please let this week go by fast!
For the past 3 mornings I have felt hot and nauceous - I think it is just a side effect of the progesterone I am on though. Also, the night before yesterday I had a sharp pain in my lower abdomen that lasted only a second. I am just over-analyzing everything I am feeling and driving myself crazy!
Some good news - I just heard from the doctor's office - 2 of the 3 embryos we had left made it to the point to freeze! So we now have 2 snow babies!
Dear God,
Thank you so much for watching over all of our embies and helping them to thrive! Please continue your blessings upon us and help the 2 embies that are inside me to continue to grow.
Love,
Alicia & Bob
PS - Please bless all of those women that I know that are going through the same thing, please watch over them all and allow them all to get the positive results that they all so desperately want!

Transfer Complete
As of right now I am knocked up! We had our transfer this morning! I was not feeling it walking in there but after talking to the embryologist I was in the best mood. She said all 5 of our embies are stil growing strong but 2 of them are ahead of the others. She said they were perfect Grade 4 (the highest) and those were the 2 we were going to put back in!
Bob was in the room with me holding my hand. We walked in, I got in the chair, they put on a CD - Sarah McClaghlin (don't know why that one but it was relaxing) and did the transfer! I had tears in my eyes when they said the transfer was complete! I can't even explain how I felt at that time! We left with pictures of each of our embryos (our first baby pictures) and a picture of them placed inside my uterus! As we were walking out there was a lady there with her brand new twins, I told Bob, that's a sign!
My blood test will be on April 14th! I can't wait!
Dear God,
Thank you so much for continuing to bless us. Thank you for watching over our embryos and helping them continue to thrive. Please bless the 2 embryos that are inside me right now and help them to attach and hold on for 9 months! Also please bless the 3 embryos we still have growing in the lab and help them to become strong so that they can be frozen for future use. Lord, you have truly been to great to us and have blessed us so much! Please continue your guidance and protection over us!

Transfer
Just got the call from the doctor's office, we are doing our transfer at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow! I am so excited! They didn't give an actual report, just said things are looking good and ready for the transfer tomorrow, she didn't sound worried about anything.
I cannot wait to get my babies inside me! I am so nervous, scared, excited and just a ball of feelings right now! Tomorrow will be the first time that I have ever had embryos inside my body! It is amazing to think that my egg and Bob's sperm are growning 5 embryos! It is truly a miracle. I am not going to be able to sleep a wink tonight! I just want tomorrow to be here!
Dear God,
Please continue to watch our 5 embryos and help them to continue to grow strong and healthy! Please watch over us tomorrow as our babies are placed inside me, please help them to attach and to continue to grow for nine months! Thank you for all of the blessings you have bestowed upon us thus far!
