hubby s away at a college football game find more menu plan monday inspiration at posted by teri at 9 31 am 0 comments labels menu plan monday recipes monday august 29 2011 i need your thoughts today while g was away and haddy was napping gasp i was watching the rachael ray show while attempting to organize the pantry there was a between segment advertisement for a new contest of sorts that really caught my attention apparently rr is partnering with crest for the life opens up project here is the description from her website do you have a winning smile has your mouth ever gotten you in trouble or opened doors for you if you have a story to tell about how your mouth has helped you to open up to the world here s your chance to tell it if you have a winning story for the crest and oral b life opens up project you could win 25 000 and be featured on the rachel ray show it s time to tell your story to crest and ora b so my question is for those of you who know the whole story of how we got our miracle baby it all started with a random comment on a friend from middle school s fb note then spiraled into her becoming our egg donor do you think this would be something appropriate as an entry for the contest of course i would have to ask b if she would be comfortable with me entering the contest i would have to talk to g and i m not committing to anything right now but i thought i would put out some feelers and see what y all thought but don t take too much time in commenting the contest ends sept 15th posted by teri at 9 14 pm 1 comments labels hubby infertility success sunday august 28 2011 menu plan monday for the past couple of weeks i ve finally gotten back into meal planning around here it has been really nice to not be stressing about dinner time all day until 5pm

coming shortly posted by teri at 8 49 pm 1 comments labels menu plan monday recipes tuesday july 26 2011 she s baaa ack the title of my post is very telling the first post partum arrival of a certain monthly visitor signals both that my body has returned to its normal self thus thrusting me back into the lonely world of infertiles and that i must therefore make this long over due appearance on my if blog not that i ve ever truly left the world of infertiles truth be told but i now enter into a new phase of the journey secondary infertility will we ever pursue treatments again doubtful unless we win the lottery but even though we re perfectly happy as a family of three i would be hard pressed to say that my heart feels our family is complete so we are back to the same old place again stuck between a rock and a hard place ttc on our own which is basically about the worst odds we could ever have i think anyway others don t seem to agree with me contemplating adoption and again wondering how we could possibly afford that and praying for god s patience peace and provision the only difference is hadley yes she is our pride and joy it still doesn t seem real most days that she is really ours we get to keep her and raise her and love her what an awesome amazing huge responsibility after nearly 5 years by the time she was actually in our arms i guess it will take longer than 8 months for it to actually feel like reality my online girls and i were talking the other day about how girls who are ttc 1 with if likely perceive girls who are ttc 2 with secondary if chime in if you fall into either of these categories please it sparked quite a debate amongst us all of whom have at least one child after struggling with if which is definitely understandable given the sensitive nature of the topic a good friend actually brought up the valid point that in many ways secondary if can be more difficult secondary if tends to be a lonelier place since you rarely get the emotional sensitivity from people that you would get with primary if with the thought that at least you have your baby now it s hard for the primary if girls to identify with us because all they can see is our baby they feel that we ve been rescued from the trenches and i will agree that in many ways we have but the same emotions are there the same visions of our perfect little family that we had envisioned since we were little girls are still shattered by the reality of our malfunctioning bodies and empty pocketbooks i know i ve blogged about the stupid insensitive things that people say to women suffering from infertility before but after talking with my secondary if friends it appears that those dumb comments don t stop just because you ve had a baby secondary infertility is incredibly hard in a way that is so much different than us primary if ers can ever understand i typed us before i realized that i am now technically in the category of secondary if ers again not used to the idea that i m actually a mom have moved on from the primary if title you get the normal stupid if comments it will happen if it s meant to happen just relax etc compounded with the stupid comments reserved only for those ppl with secondary if i bet little h would love a little brother or sister well at least you have your daughter you should be thankful for that etc and people again don t realize how hurtful they are being and i would be remiss if while talking about the stupid things people say i didn t mention what one of g s co workers said to me a few weeks back as you know we ve been very open with our if struggles and the measures in this case donor egg that we went to in order to finally get our little miracle well i was at gregg s grade level picnic one of his co workers came over while i was holding haddy she was saying how cute she was then proceeded to ask me who i thought she looked like of course i said that we all think she is a mini version of her daddy as she looks just like him dumb co worker then responds that s what i thought too but i didn t know what the mom looked like crickets chirping even just typing this out now my jaw is dropping to the floor i still can t believe she said that of course i didn t miss a beat and just politely glazed over her sheer stupidity and reiterated that no of course haddy looks exactly like her daddy all the while wanting to punch her in the face i labored all day and pushed this little girl into this world for two hours sans drugs might i add i am her mom so that s where we are right now stuck somewhere between infertility and success after infertility i m glad to be back posted by teri at 8 07 am 6 comments labels hubby infertility success thursday december 09 2010 hadley s birth story ok mil is getting some hadley time so here is your birth story sorry my kitty dying is intermingled with this story because it s part of the day s events on the morning of black friday november 26th i woke up around 2 30 am with contractions they weren t painful but were coming at regular intervals between 7 20 minutes apart i went downstairs and watched tv etc so i wouldn t keep gregg up after a bit i realized that i hadn t yet seen my kitty that day she was not looking good the night before breathing funny just not being herself i actually cried at that time thanksgiving night because something in me just told me it was the beginning of the end i checked her usual spots couldn t find her anywhere i laid back down on the couch for a while read watched tv etc for some reason though to check for her in the basement as soon as i saw her lying on the concrete something she would never normally do and she didn t respond when i said her name i didn t get close enough i knew that she was gone i was so so sad she was only 7 years old she was a dating anniversary gift from gregg for our 2nd anniversary it was around 4 30 am at this time i ran upstairs to gregg woke him up baby um two things i think faithy died and i m in labor according to him that was not the way he had planned on waking up that morning he went down into the basement and confirmed that she was gone then texted his mom dad so that they would call when they woke up i continued with contractions throughout the morning until his dad called back they were shocked at the news of faithy passing his dad came over to take care of her i wanted to see her to get some closure but her eyes were open according to g and they could not be shut again so i didn t get to see her we drove over to g s parents house she was buried in their pet cemetary behind their house g had basketball practice so i stayed at his parents house and continued laboring while he was gone yeah i know i told him to go to practice lol his mom and one of his sisters mel timed my contractions all morning afternoon they were continuing to get stronger throughout the day definitely becoming more regular when they were about 7 minutes apart i texted my mom and told her that i thought it was the real thing after g s mom felt my contractions in my stomach and confirmed that this was most likely true labor we went home i got showered then we called the doctor around 3 30 when my contractions were about 5 minutes apart gregg had to take the call from the doctor when she returned our call it goes to the answering service first because i was busy throwing up despite the fact that my contractions were 4 5 minutes apart at this time they told us to wait an hour and then leave for the hospital my contractions were definitely stronger at this point i was so upset that we weren t able to go to the hospital yet i was face down on my exercise ball with a heating pad on my back or with g rubbing my back constantly we determined that my parents were about an hour away so we waited for them to get there then we left immediately the car ride was not a fun one it seemed to take forever with lots of curvy windy roads despite the fact that it was only about 25 minutes when we got there around 5pm we went to l d to get checked in they told me that i needed to wait in the waiting room because they didn t have room for me i was so upset i m surprised i didn t cry i ended up kneeling on the floor in front of one of the waiting room chairs with my face in the chair while mom or g rubbed my back and i breathed through all of the contractions which were gaining in strength and frequency to make matters worse there were some annoying kids in the waiting room and i think i remember telling my mom that i was going to kill them lol after forty five minutes 5 45pm of laboring in the waiting room there were about 4 other pg women there but none as obviously into labor as i was i was finally taken back into a triage room a midwife came in to check me and immediately said whoa we ve got an active one she s 8cm we were shocked i knew the contractions were strong but i was breathing through them and didn t think they were that awful the doctor came in and i pretty much had to decide on the spot whether i wanted an epidural or not i told her that i felt really good but i was worried about the pushing part she said i won t lie the pushing is intense but you re really going to feel that part either way so i decided to tough it out which is good since the anesthesiologist never got around to seeing me anyway which they re supposed to do either way they moved me to an l d room checked me again maybe half an hour later 6 30 and i was 9cm the doctor broke my water an hour later i was 10 cm i really didn t notice a difference in the strength of my contractions until the very end right before i was checked at 10cm the nurse told me that if i felt the urge to push i should take a deep breath in and breathe out in spurts like i m blowing out candles those were the hardest ones by far once i was able to push it was actually a great relief fighting the pushing was definitely the worst part of labor i began pushing around 8 15pm there was definitely a learning curve in learning how to push but the doctor and nurse were both great with encouragement g was there the whole time with my ice chips rubbing my back after about an hour of pushing i started to get really frustrated because i felt like i was doing it wrong or that it should be going faster but the dr assured me i was doing an amazing job i remember both she the nurse saying that they seriously should have made an educational video about laboring on me because they never ever would have guessed that i didn t have an epidural i was one of the best breathe through it patients they ever saw they encouraged me to change pushing positions on my side and those really helped to bring her down just before 2 hours they switched me back to my back and i knew it must be time because they took off the bottom of my table put up the stirrups the dr put on her gown about 5 pushes later i felt her head come out another push or two came her shoulders she was out i did not even feel the ring of fire that so many women talk about i honestly don t remember any pain during the pushing process it was just exhausting i think my nerve endings must be dead down there or something and i was so proud of gregg he watched the whole thing and didn t pass out or get sick or anything huge accomplishment for him hadley rebecca scholl was born at 10 08pm 19 inches long they put her on my chest and it was all just so surreal i almost felt like it was happening to someone else some kind of out of body experience h was whisked away to the nursery g went along because they wanted to check her breathing she was grunting a bit but everything was fine i delivered the afterbirth was stitched back up for my 2nd degree tear then i ended up watching what not to wear on tv alone in the room for 45 minutes while g was gone even though i had asked the nurse to go get my family which they never did our parents g h all ended up coming back at the same time and stayed with us until about midnight i was so glad that both sets of parents could be there to see her right away t...
