2 Little Beans: Paigey kisses and almost 1

Paigey kisses and almost 1

So Paige girl has a new trick...she gives kisses...they are big wet opened mouth kisses but it melts my heart. Probably the cutest thing I have ever seen...especially because of who she is, and how sweet she is, its just precious! You have to face her towards you, and say "can I have a kiss" and pucker your lips and she moves in....and then smiles...priceless!!!

Well tomorrow my girls will be one. Luis reminded me as we were sitting on the couch tonight how one year ago around this time, the girls were kicking like crazy. It was true, we had never seen them move so much, they were very very active....they wanted out! And in just a few short hours our lives changed forever. We were blessed with the 2 most beautiful girls in this world. Happy almost birthday girls, can't wait to spend the day with you tomorrow!

A Little Bit about Our Journey (the technical side)

Here is a description of the fertility treatments and procedures we went through to get these 2 little beans!

After 12 months of trying on our own, we made an apt. with an RE (Reproductive Endocrinologist). She ordered us a bunch of tests, all of which came back pretty normal...she said we were young and things looked good, so this should work! We were excited to start, figuring of course these treatments had to work! Well, they eventually did, but it was a long road filled with heartache, tears, frustration, and challenges as each month returned nothing but negative results.

We did a total of 7 IUI's (intra uterine insemination) with a combination of different meds...here is how it went:

IUI #1 - 50 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #2 - 100 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #3 - 150 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + 2 IUI's
IUI #4 - 100 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #5 - 150 mg. of clomid + trigger shot + IUI
IUI #6 - menopur (injectables for 9 days) + trigger + IUI
IUI #7 - repronex (injectables for 7 days) + trigger + IUI

Just to give you a bit of a rundown on the meds...
clomid is a pill taken for 5 days to help you produce more follicles (eggs). The injectables do the same thing, but are a stronger form and are done with shots (fun)!
