Exactly one year ago today, we went through our first attempt at IVF. We were literally given one shot and prayed hard that it would work. After multiple specialists told me getting pregnant on my own would most likely end in miscarriage and that IVF was our best option, we made the controversial decision to go that route. After going through all the meds, 19 eggs were taken, 18 of them were fertilized & only 3 of them were "genetically sound" enough to implant. Because the likelihood of me getting pregnant was so slim, our RE suggested implanting 3 embryos (most people my age typically put in 1-2 embryos at the most .. RARELY three!) so when we only had 3 on the day of my transfer, I took it as a sign that God was in charge of our future & left everything in His hands! Little did I know that ALL THREE of these embryos would take....& so begins the wild ride I call my "new normal" :)
Here is my babies' first picture - aren't they beautiful????:
one year later ... they're smiling, laughing, cooing, rolling over & TEETHING!! God bless us all! :)
