It was a year ago today...

That we thought we would try for just one more baby.  Matt and I had discussed trying to have more children, we knew we had embryos, we knew we could love and support another child, we did not know it would actually work and that we would get TWO more babies.

So a year ago today we went to see the fabulous folks at IRH, the very best in the business for infertility, and we did a frozen cycle if in-vitro.  I struggled for a long time with the fact that we could not get pregnant on our own, then we went to IRH and learned that we are SO not alone in this battle.  There are so many folks who need the help of these doctors and scientist, and that it is not uncommon nor a bad thing.  In our first time around there were a lot more doctor appointments and blood test and meetings, this time, 3 appointments, a couple of blood draws and one nervous morning at the office for the transfer.

We knew there was a chance of twins again, but being a frozen cycle we really didn't know if it would work again.  Plus really how many people get two sets of twins?  We thought having one more baby would be easy, you know after two.  I just prayed that whatever was supposed to happen, happened.  If it wasn't meant to work, I was okay, after all I had two amazing little creatures at home already, we had already been blessed twice.  If it did work, yeah there was a slight chance of twins, but really we thought it would be one baby and it would be great! 

So we did the transfer and were sent home, I was told to rest and take it easy and begin to wait the longest 2 weeks of my life, again.

And I think we all know the outcome, Mallory and Cale, but we will have to wait until another date to learn the story of how we found out it was not one baby but two!  Right now as I reflect back to our journey in having children I am very grateful to Dr. Scheiber and team for all they did for us - twice!
