Is this Bun Almost Done?!

I don't walk...I waddle.
I don't jump out of bed...I roll.
I can't see my feet when standing.
I'm in major need of a pedicure.

I didn't believe the doctor last Thursday when he said this girl will come early. Early as in around March 12th. Yikes. I was arguing with him. Like that will do anything.


I was dilated 2cm and am feeling a lot of pressure now. I'm wondering if I'll be the same or will I have made more progress.

I don't have a bag packed. I don't have Aubrey's seat in the car. I guess I like living on the edge. Or is it denial? Have to set up the Pack 'n Play in our room. You could grow several different dangerous cultures from my bathroom floors. I've got Bunco at my house next week. Hmmm, instead of playing we may have a cleaning party. I'm sure they would all just love that!


Next appointment is Monday.

2 embyros

Jen is now on bed rest with 2 embryos nestled in her belly. She'll be off her feet until Saturday. As of yesterday (her first day in the bed) she was already a little irritated. However, she knows it will all be worth it! Thanks for your continued prayers on Jeff and Jen's behalf.

Eggie Update!

My sister in law-Jennifer has scheduled her egg retrieval for Friday! They are looking good and as of yesterday there were 5 viable eggs. Hopefully a few more will pop up. After they are retrieved they'll be fertilized and then implanted. Poor Jen has to have 3 days of bed rest after implantation. She'll be laid up watching TLC, girly movies, and eating home cooked food probably from her mommma. Don't you feel sorry for her?! LOL

Hopefully an embryo will stick and we'll have some cousin(s) for Charlie and Aubrey.

The Easter Bunny...

HAS DELIVERED EGGS TO MY SISTER IN LAW JENNIFER 2 months before Easter! LOL! Finally, after months of waiting for cysts to clear up and IVF medicines to take effect Jen has 3-4 eggs per ovary! Isn't that wonderful news?! Soon the tiny eggies will be harvested and matched up with Jeff's baby makers and maybe they'll get some good embryos to implant.

I hope the good news keeps coming!

Baby Aubrey @34 weeks

Right after taking this picture Aubrey woke up! Guess she wanted to pose for the camera. She is moving about quite regularly and even keeping me up some at night dancing around. She responds to Charlie's temper tantrums (yes, my perfect first born has those occasionally). He'll commence to screaming and throwing toys and she's bouncing off my uterus!
Our next appt is 2/19 and then shortly thereafter we'll be down to once/week visits. Ah, good old cervical checks. Aren't those just lovely? Does taking a deep breath really help? I mean, really?

Cely Update

Cely is doing well in the hospital. As of her last update her cervix was shortening but NO contractions. That is wonderful news. Her baby girls are around 22 weeks old and let's pray she can hang on for many more weeks. As soon as I get an address I'll post it in case you'd like to send a card of encouragement. I'm sure she'll start looking forward to getting mail and other goodies.

Oh Tuesday

Yep, it's Tuesday. My favorite day of the week...it's always been. It's my favorite now because of American Idol! It's my favorite today because Matt and I are going to be continuing our car shopping today. Yep, that's right. Car shopping. 2 more payments left on the Sentra and we gotta upgrade. Yes Beyonce I said Upgrade.
