SO here it is!!

OK.. so I guess I have kept you all (my big audience of 3) in suspense long enough! I am PREGNANT!! Cool eh!! I peed on the stick on Good Friday and what a Good Friday it was!! A very faint line but if you know anything about trying to get knocked up you will know a line is a line – a positive is a positive! I was in the bathroom doing the test and after about 1 min Cliff called me and I looked up ( was trying to read so I would not look at it for 3 min) and peeked. All I said was HA! Cliff said why did you say that? BECAUSE I AM PREGNANT!! HA HA HA!! I felt a great sense of accomplishment. So then I called everyone in the world and told them. I called IP’s and asked them what they were doing. IF was working…that man has to slow down. So I did not say anything and just made idle chit chat. Then she asked me how I was feeling..any symptoms? So then I asked her ok..if feel “something” and I test and it is + do you want me to tell you right away or after the beta blood test? She said whatever I was comfortable with. So I said, “OK, I am pregnant!” She screamed! It was amazing. Then she tells me I have to call IF. So I called him up and made some idle chitchat too..and he started this big spiel about if it did not work this time don’t worry etc etc. I said “Thanks but we won’t have to be worrying about that!!” I tested this morning and I am pregnant!!” He was on cloud 9! I don’t think the shock as worn off yet.

SO I went on Easter Monday and had the blood test done and it was confirmed. I went again yesterday just to make sure the #’s are rising and they are!! It was such a rush to tell them..other than getting married and experiencing getting pregnant ourselves and having the babies, this was by far the best moment of my life. I cannot wait for their first ultrasound and experiencing all the other milestones with them.

So that is it! Mum is coming down for a week! She arrives on Saturday morning at 7:00!! I think I am going to pick her up in my pj’s!!LOL..I will be off for a week and it is definitely not long enough! That is about the only shitty thing about living here..I am here and Mum and the sistas are out there..sucks the bag man. I cannot wait until I win the lottery so I can just fly out whenever I want..

What else..oh yeah if you see Cliff on E-Bay tell him to get the hell off!!

Human Pin Cushion

My ass hurts..that is all I gotta say tonight. Cliff got a little cocky this morning and I think he did the injection with his eyes closed. So totally in the wrong spot it went and it freakin' hurt!! My arse was already gettin' sore so out came the Sac magique!! That thing rocks. No..I don't know if I am pregnant yet..I know you wanna ask..

Here is Liam and Emma in the backyard last month :) Great pic if I do say so myself!! 

I'm back!!

Hellooo everyone,

I is back from the land of crazy taxi drivers..god that place is NUTS!! Believe it or not I had a taxi driver who was East Indian and he was actually making racist comments to me about a chinese taxi driver!! I was shocked..but seriously they all drive like nutballs..

So I am back and no I don't know if I am pregnant yet..DON'T even ask..hehe.. IT was a lovely trip. The transfer was awesome! The Dr. implanted two beautiful embryos (an 8 cell and a 9 cell which is apparently about the best you can get!! - not that that had anything to do with me..hehe). The Dr. was also very pleased with my lining and he is so very confident that we are going to do this on the very first go!! (I can't even take credit for my own lining because that is all done by drugs...lol)

Cliff is an absolute PRO at doing these injections..I have to say (again because I think I already wrote this) I am so very proud of him. IM met me in Toronto for the transfer and we had a great time. We giggled all day long except for during the transfer because we feared the embryos might spill out of me (I know we are dorks!!) I vegged out in my hotel room with all the mags she left me and then IF sent me a big "Thinking of you" bouquet of flowers!! They were so beautiful!!! White lilies!! Erin came down that early evening and we did a little walk to find some eats..we ended up at the Elephant & Castle and she was so impressed at the difference in the bill when there is no alcohol on it!! Oh cousin....just stick with me and I will teach you everything I know!! The food was great!

Wednesday we took it easy and then headed down to the Eaton Center for a wee bit. Shopped a bit for the kids at the Disney Store! (I could have spent $1000 in there for sure!) We hooked up with Erin's friends Cindy and Jen for dinner at the Marche Movenpik (after veggin in the hotel for another couple of hours in the afternoon) and then they dropped me off at Cliff's brothers! I had not seen Danny and Joanne in such a long time!! Unfortunately Melissa was not there but we plan to drive down there soon so we call all have a real visit!! Shawn even called me Auntie Karen! I loved it!! I don't get to hear that to often with the girls and Logan out west so for Shawn to say it really made my day!! I cannot believe he is 19 now..I am really starting to feel OLD.. It was really nice to get caught up with them.

Today I checked out at 11:00 and just hung around a bit before heading to the airport. The flight was good..busy but good.

I cannot believe how much I missed my babies :( I did not call them because I did on Monday night and Liam really cried and then I cried..it was just too sad..

I am really hoping that this transfer is successful so I won't have to go away again. The hotel was awesome! It was really family oriented which made me miss them even more :( But if anyone is looking for a little getaway with the kids..Delta Chelsea is the place for you!! They have an indoor water slide!

So that is it!! Wish us luck and think Sticky vibes!!

Long overdue update!!

Hey everyone..or anyone..whomever is reading!!

I cannot believe it has been so long since I have "blogged"

Things have been moving fairly quickly!! The biggest news is that I leave tomorrow night for Toronto for the transfer!! It has been a long road to get here but now that the time has arrived it seems like there is not enough time to get organized!! Part of the reason for that is because the transfer will be "fresh" (ie not frozen embryos) we had to wait for the follicles to grow and the retrieval only happened this weekend. So I only officially knew that Tuesday was transfer day on Thursday!

My medication protocol changed as of Friday. I stopped the Suprefact (injections in my stomach) and on to start the injections in the HI-NEE!! So the panic begun once again!! LOL..IM and I called everyone imaginable to show us how to the injections (Cliff and I) and I finally got in touch with someone at around noon on Friday. The nurse at this clinic explained and showed step by step what we had to do. So first one was done and it went well!! Did not even hurt. The nurse explained in very gentle terms that my big arse was contributing to the ease of the injections! Who woulda thunk!! So the next step was to have Cliff give me one.. we had a birthday party to go to (Happy 30th Bruce!!) and Cliffie had a few beer..I think that might have eased his nervousness because he did it like a pro!! (ok not quite a pro but perhaps a pro that had had a few beer..lol) My ass is a little sore..but nothing I can't handle. Then he did the second one tonight and it went good again! I also started Suppositories and that is all I am going to say about that...ICK.

So I leave tomorrow (Monday) right after work and won't be back until Thursday late afternoon. Cousin Erin is going to come and hang out with me for a bit. I hope to do a bit of shopping on Wednesday/Thursday but we'll see. On the 29th I will have a beta test to see if these little eggies stuck or not! I think I will be able to test earlier than that but that will be the official test!
