our road called ivf skip to main skip to sidebar our road called ivf friday march 5 2010 thank you thank you to all of our friends for following our ivf journey with us your support has been such a strength to us along the way my purpose for this blog was to provide hope to all couples going through infertility and especially other couples whose spouse has cf i will not be updating this blog anymore i guess until we try ivf a second time please follow us on our family blog colinandmandy blogspot com posted by mandy at 10 41 am 11 comments tuesday february 9 2010 eliza eliza kate thomas february 2 2010 3 30pm 7lbs 4 6oz 20 inches we are so grateful for our sweet baby girl eliza posted by mandy at 1 00 pm 10 comments wednesday february 3 2010 it was all worth the wait more to come but a couple pictures for you to enjoy in the meantime posted by mandy at 11 50 am 11 comments wednesday january 27 2010 full circle during my 1st trimester i had nausea 24 7 for about 10 weeks i lost weight i couldn t eat much but i did form a friendship with ckn flavored ramon noodles now here i am blogging at 40 weeks okay 39 6 7 weeks and the only thing i want for dinner is ckn flavored ramon noodles good thing i bought a whole case at smith s case lot sale for 3 so i have plenty on hand yes disgusting i know food that cheap can t be good for you coming full circle like this must mean i will go into labor any minute now right i had my 40 weeks doctor s visit today still only dilated to a 2 and 50 effaced a little bummed was hoping for at least a 3 mama and baby are well baby has a strong heartbeat and is moving a lot i have a great blood pressure my urine is free from sugars and protein and my swelling is actually going down a little bit i think because we did ivf and my day of conception is exact my doctor doesn t want me to go past 41 weeks so i am scheduled for an induction on feb 2 2010 which is 2 days prior to 41 weeks we decided on feb 2nd instead of feb 4th out of conveince since my mom is driving down from n dakaota and since i am sick of being pregnant i kind of feel guilty for getting an induction like it is selfish on my part and maybe i should give it the full 41 weeks but since its only 2 days sooner i am rationalizing that its okay i hope she comes on her own before than though just because natural labor is more desirable i officially started my 12 weeks maternity leave what will i do until she comes i guess i ll go to the library and get myself a good book i have already read babywise cover to cover and plan on following it any suggestions parents in waiting cute daddy to be my budda belly 40 weeks 39 6 7 weeks to be exact the almost complete nursery i still need to hang all the accessories pictures shelf order the rug and my mom will be making the cushions for the glider when she gets here posted by mandy at 6 17 pm 10 comments sunday january 24 2010 grateful on thursday morning jan21st 39 weeks exactly colin and i were headed to slc the roads were awful with slick slushy snow cars were driving 20 mph it was scary next thing we know we got side swiped by some car who hit the side of the car i was on then spiraled out of control in front of our car and hit a police car that happened to be at the side of the road responding to an accident it all was very slow so the impact of her car on us was very minor it just jolted us a tiny bit not a big deal however it messed up the side of our lovely new car so sad anyway we spent 1 1 2 hour dealing with all the paperwork etc i then called my doctor s office and they told me i had to come in for observation for 4 23 hours depending they don t take any type of trauma lightly which i am grateful for we went home packed our bags for the hospital figuring they might have to deliver me made arrangements for jonas and headed back down the mountain the roads were better by then we spent 5 hours in the hospital and our baby was doing great she wasn t in any distress whatsoever so grateful for of course i was dilated to a 2 and 60 effaced but not having many contractions my doctor who i love by the way said he was looking for any reason to deliver the baby but just couldn t find one so he had to send us home we were really hoping to have a baby that day but our little girl was and still isn t quite ready to make her big debut last night after a 12 hour shift i was driving up parley s canyon and it was the worst road conditions i ve ever seen even worse then thursday morning praying 100 mph that i would be able to at least make it to park city safely hands death griping the steering wheel the whole time i made it home it was a very stressful drive as you can imagine which made me start having a lot of contractions i had contractions for 1 2 hours then went to bed and slept a great nights sleep sadly i woke up with no contractions i have had a few here and there this morning but nothing consistent darn it haha my doctor said he will induce me this coming wed thurs fri sat or basically anytime i want but i am going to wait it out as long as i can i am thinking i will schedule an induction for feb 1st 2nd or 3rd if she doesn t come by next sunday she gets one more week by then she will be over 40 weeks i am hopeful that my body baby will do their thing when they are ready and hopeful it will be sometime this week so i don t have to be induced god has been watching over us so much this week so much worse could have happened and we are all safe and well so grateful posted by mandy at 11 15 am 4 comments monday january 18 2010 38 5 7 weeks i want my baby to come i never could understand when pregnant women would say that and express how ready they were for their baby to come until now basically your baby is big your body is exhausted on saturday i came home from a long 12 hour day of work in tears because my feet and back were in throbbing pain and i was sooooooo tired i had horrible shooting back pain throughout the day and was having a few contractions but that all went away after a good nights sleep thankfully i sleep pretty well overall i have 4 more shifts left until i start my maternity leave and am just dreading them but i will endure because i can the main reason i want my baby to come though is because i am just getting anxious to hold her in my arms to cuddle and snuggle her to see what she looks like to name her to see my amazing husband become a daddy and to play dress up in all of the adorable clothes she has hanging in her closet haha her nursery is 90 finished and ready for her and i must say it is adorable i couldn t be more happy with the outcome a big thanks to colin for putting in the new floors baseboards painting his parents helped with that so thanks to them too putting up the crib and bookcase changing table hanging the curtain rod putting up all the accessories and for indulging my every whim in my quest for the perfect nursery he will definitely be a good daddy for a little girl because he just goes with it and is so sweet about it i see the dr in 2 days one can only hope i start labor right now but just in case that doesn t happen hahaha we ll see what s happening then pictures of the nursery and the pregnant swelling mama to come soon i will have my bag packed ready to go just in case posted by mandy at 5 49 am 6 comments thursday january 7 2010 37 weeks i am 37 weeks today full term 3 more weeks until her due date i had a doctor s appt yesterday and am dilated 1 cm and 50 effaced that basically means it could still be weeks before i am ready for labor hahaha but i was excited to hear that i was dialted at any rate the baby is in blast off position head down so i hope she stays there between now and labor no breech or transverse riff raff aka no c section i am hoping physically i am ready for her to come i am extremely exhausted all the time short of breath a lot swelling in my face feet and hands and get shaky and faint if i don t eat every few hours it makes sense though because our baby is bigger and needs lots of nutrients and being bigger is harder for my body to carry her around but i am not complaining just so happy she is healthy well and full term mentally i just need to gear up for her to come close to her due date or a few days after that way i won t spend too much time anxiously waiting her arrival over the next few weeks we are so excited to finally see her and hold her on the homestrectch posted by mandy at 11 27 am 8 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom thomas baby girl or thomas baby boy
