My journey through IVF, FET, miscarriage, and motherhood.
About Me
- Lisa
- I'm Lisa. I met my husband, Brian, in high school German class back in '98. We got married in August 2004. We started ttc in July 2008, and welcomed a baby boy, Noah, in April 2010 as a result of IVF w/ICSI. We completed 4 FET cycles between 2012-2013 for baby #2, and succeeded once, only to find out we lost a precious girl around 8 weeks. We then got the surprise BFP of a lifetime on December 21st, 2013 and our daughter, Elodie, was born August 2014! We are so blessed!

Hey, Missy, I'm kind of hoping you post at least one more belly shot before delivering. The last one is over a week old. I'm curious to see any changes. I won't see it again in person. And look at that Baby Ticker! I remember last August, painting the front door so that I wouldn't go crazy with impatience while waiting to hear your beta numbers. It's so hard to believe he's almost here!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with Lisa's Mom. We need one more belly photo! I was also thinking I remember numbering the Mondays on my calendar once you had your BFP so I could follow baby's progress week by week. That 40 seemed such a long way out - and here you are! What a wonderful miracle!
