just a little infertile the limbo stage between trying is the fun part and ivf just a little infertile the limbo stage between trying is the fun part and ivf menu skip to content home our relatively short timeline 19 jun 2017 finally posted in uncategorized by aleisha k is here we are indescribably elated i m sure i haven t stopped smiling yet we went in for induction on tuesday june 13th at 5 00pm expecting to be given curves ripening drugs and a balloon to help dilate me further and then start pitocin late the next morning turned out that i was ready for pitocin right away so by 8 00pm i was in labor and delivery hooked up to the pitocin contractions started hard and fast and k did not react well to them at first we had to turn it off to regulate her heartbeat for an hour we restarted and i made it till 2 00am before asking for an epidural something we had planned on getting from the moment k was conceived i ️ drugs i was stuck at 6cm for a long time and we were told that we only had until 11pm before a c section would need to be considered then i magically jumped to 10cm around 2 45pm at 3 00pm i started pushing and the nurse let the doctor know the resident and our doctor joked and said ok we ll see you at 7 00pm since k was supposed to be well over 10lbs at 3 30 the nurse called the doctors and said we were close the doctor walked in slowly shortly after scrubs in hand and i heard him say oh god you weren t kidding and he swiftly got ready we were all laughing at his surprise at 4 01pm on june 14th k was born when she came out i waited for her cry which took a beat longer than i would have liked and then i heard it the most beautiful sound i have ever heard in my life i sobbed as they put her on my chest 8lb 14oz 21 inches long a head full of hair and only a first degree tear for me which is amazing considering how fast she came and how big her head seems i ve only ever cried of happiness a few times in my life until now i m sure hormones are partially to blame but i just look at her and tear up sometimes she has been a great baby so far and i attribute a lot of that to both j and i having so much experience with babies i love being her mommy i love that j is her daddy 3 comments 6 jun 2017 40 weeks still pregnant posted in uncategorized by aleisha we had our 40 week appointment today and finally got to talk about induction the hospital won t even look at us until we re 41 weeks which is seven days from now i d like to say that i think we ll go into labor before then but i ve been wrong up to this point so i no longer trust myself even though the pressure feels like she s going to fall out i m just under 2cm dilated and about 70 effaced if we make it to tuesday without spontaneous labor we ll go in that night for some cervix prep and probably have our little girl wednesday or thursday doc said it s a slow process and it sounds like it i can t imagine going in tuesday at 4 00 and not leaving until friday did i mention before now that i wanted to be in the hospital for the minimum 24 hours let s all laugh together we go in friday for another growth scan for what i m not quite sure actually i m pushing her out regardless have i also mentioned that while i am team epidural all the way my 1 fear is a c section and of course baby is measuring huge 9 9 5lbs this week if she s gained 1 2 lb per week so i m screwed if i stay pregnant and i m screwed if the induction doesn t work as planned insert more laughter here but no matter what it takes she ll be home soon 4 comments 26 may 2017 big huge pregnant wrapping up week 38 posted in uncategorized by aleisha with 10 theoretical days left we are in the home stretch she ll be here soon which seems long overdue and yet so sudden and surreal i think because she s been just a dream for so long that it s hard to accept the wonderful reality that she exists in there and will soon be in the world as her own person ️ we couldn t be more excited 1 comment 14 may 2017 mother s day is different now posted in uncategorized by aleisha i tend to dislike holidays that move around the calendar mother s day thanksgiving labor day just pick a damn day anyway this year i m somewhat grateful that today is mother s day instead of last year s date of may 8 last may 8 we found out we were pregnant right before heading to a mother s day breakfast with family a few days later we got not so great news then terrible news that we were going to lose our baby later in may we lost jason s very favorite person may 18 2016 i miscarried at her funeral on may 23rd we know in our hearts that it was a boy and said goodbye to him and mentally buried him with her that day to say it was an awful month is a massive understatement so hopefully it s understandable that i d prefer baby girl not to be born on three specific days this month this year i am one day shy of 37 weeks pregnant with our daughter who is thriving ️ we have a growth scan and our 37 week appointment on thursday may 18 i m not a huge fan but at least we will be celebrating life as we remember loss it s hard for my husband this month too a year anniversary of losing two people he loved so fiercely he s sad that she ll never get to hold our daughter but i figure it s a poetic kind of trade off she holds our son who we never got to hold and we hold our daughter who she won t be here to hold at least physically speaking as for this morning i m relaxing feeling baby girl move around and play probably ready for food and coffee the nursery is done and we are just waiting to bring her home healthy god willing i wonder which mother s day is my first last year this year or next year i feel like all three have been all about our children but only next year will i wear the badge of trudging through diaper changes and late night feedings tons of emotions this mother s day so different for so many reasons leave a comment 16 apr 2017 basically 33 weeks shower nursery posted in uncategorized by aleisha we will be 33 weeks monday considering it s so late saturday i m calling it 33 we went to the doctor s for a growth scan since our 30 week appointment had my fundal measurement coming in at 34 weeks at 32 4 weeks baby was weighing in at 4lbs 15oz one ounce short of five pounds her head was measuring at 34 weeks and some odd days so about 2 weeks ahead i asked if this means we should expect her sooner but apparently that s not how it goes dang it we are due june 5th but i m hoping she s a memorial day baby any time at the end of may actually so long as her lungs are developed and she s ready our shower was last saturday and we couldn t feel more blessed before this day we owned 6 onsies now after the shower and a few key purchases we are ready to go minus some mess that needs to be cleaned up and a few decorations that still aren t up one project i am super excited about is the initial that will be going above her bed we aren t sharing what her name or initial is but this was our inspiration it s actually 2 feet tall and the colors are more muted than these but i am so excited to hang it i also have a handful of jason s late grandma s handkerchiefs that i d like to find a way to incorporate as well that s it happy easter ️ leave a comment 19 mar 2017 wrapping up 28 weeks posted in uncategorized by aleisha guys we have 78 days left till baby is due we will be 29 weeks tomorrow my shower is less than 3 weeks away we moved into our first house and though it still needs partially painted and assembled we are excited to know this is where baby will come home grow and take her first steps we know which hospital we will have her in which daycare she will go to and mostly our family of 3 budget we still need to enroll in childbirthing classes finish the house and buy what we need for her after the shower and a million other things so in love leave a comment 15 jan 2017 20 weeks posted in uncategorized by aleisha our little girl is growing healthy and absolutely breathtaking her head was super far down in my pelvis for the whole anatomy scan we had a few days ago explains why i have so much pelvic pain of she s down there all the time i think she moves out and up at night i can always feel her kick move before bed im not sure if it was the tech the gel or her positioning but it was 4x more painful than i expected i almost wonder if the gel caused a reaction of some kind it was red and sore even the next day but 100x worth it i haven t purchased anything yet and likely won t before march we close on our first home the first week of february and will move in before march 1 so i figure might as well wait and not move a bunch of extra stuff and it s great news for our wallets which are hurting with all of these big expenses coming up at once more to come later leave a comment 2 jan 2017 18 weeks posted in uncategorized by aleisha every time i type how far along we are i am in awe i ve been feeling pretty good minus the fact that no one mentioned i d feel like someone kicked me in my vagina and broke my southern pelvic bones things that are now intensely painful rolling over in bed getting in and out of the car walking after sitting putting pants socks and shoes on while standing stepping over things stairs and lifting one leg at a time but i feel her move now i think so i ll take any pain the world offers i say i think because sometimes it feels like belly grumbles and i won t really be convinced until she straight up kicks me still really need to see the 20 week scan next friday to ultra confirm that she s a girl and that everything is fine we might even buy something after that leave a comment 24 dec 2016 merry christmas to us posted in uncategorized by aleisha we had an ultrasound done at 15 5 weeks by a freestanding ultrasound place because we wanted to find out with family for christmas the tech wrote down the result in an envelope and we handed it off to friends who made 2 ornaments one for my parents and one for husband s we went to my parents for christmas eve eve and found out with them they didn t know it was coming but figured it out fast we re having a daughter ️ 1 comment 15 dec 2016 15 2 weeks posted in uncategorized by aleisha firstly i love whoever shortened 15 weeks and 2 days to 15 2 so thanks to whoever in the world established that even if i still think 15 5 is 15 and 1 2 because math haha last night i had my first appointment with the ob we will see for the rest of our pregnancy there are 5 doctors and one of them will deliver the baby i ll see all 5 for the next however many months so hopefully i ll feel like i know and trust them all by then husband wasn t there for this basic appointment since it was just to establish me as a patient it was the first appointment they used a doppler instead of an ultrasound which i obviously wasn t a fan of and my greatest fear was them using one and not being able to find the heartbeat it took too long for comfort and the chatty nurse was a little too quiet for my liking but she found it a strong 153 major drop from 169 but i guess that s to be expected with this year being so rough and experiencing the third death in the family this year saturday i wanted so badly to bring some happiness to this christmas i borderline begged to have an ultrasound late next week to announce the gender on christmas but they were strict on the 20 week mark i was crushed like irrationally disappointed chatty again nurse mentioned freestanding places that you can pay out of pocket but she wasn t sure of any specifically i half heartedly called the first googled one i found and it was after hours i threw it out on facebook and got a few helpful responses followed by just wait responses if it weren t for the truly depressing christmas that it s turning out to be i would wait but it is and we want to do this the place i called returned my phone call at 7pm and someone just commented on fb that they had used and loved the place i randomly called so i booked an appointment for saturday morning we are beyond excited we are debating having the tech write it down and finding out with our families or having our own secret for a week exciting either way leave a comment post navigation older posts search recent posts finally 40 weeks still pregnant big huge pregnant wrapping up week 38 mother s day is different now
