So this will go down in history as the best idea my husband has ever had.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While laying in bed one night soon after our first follow up appointment with our Reproductive Endocrinologist, listening to me cry over the excruciatingly long timeline for our frozen embryo transfer, my husband brilliantly says "lets take a trip- lets go to San Francisco!" At that moment my sniffling stopped, looked up at him and said, "really?" and seconds later I was on my phone looking at all of our airline apps to see which airlines we had enough points with to book the flight! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up was calling my roommate from college, Kelly, who just so happened to move there 5 years ago and just so happens to have a spare bedroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trip came together quickly but we had to wait to book until aunt flow arrived so I could have my follow up appointments completed, blood draw and sonohysterogram -I only mention this because i want to document that all looked good and we were given the go ahead for our Frozen Embryo Transfer at next cycle - HOORAYY! But this post is not about my infertility, it's going to be about SF. See life still can happen even when 99.5% of the time you are only thinking about making babies. (that sounds kinky, but its not.. my baby is a science baby, made with love and SCIENCE!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After some minor inconveniences with our flight we arrived in SF at 2 AM on Friday and proceeded to hit the hay at Kellys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday AM we actually made it out the door before 8:30 AM. Yay me, I'm still really not even sure how I pulled off dragging Eddie out of bed. Kelly lives in Russian Hill which is a great central location, we were able to walk to the Embarcadero where we had a trip scheduled to Alcatraz at 10 AM. We stopped for breakfast at a cute bfast place 8 AM. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Avocado Toast 3 Ways, paired with the yummiest fruit. We haven't quit hit yummy fruit season on the east coast so this lil bowl of fruit made my morning. </div>

The only downside of the weekend was RAIN. It was literally 70s and sunny the week before we got there. But I knew rain was in our future all weekend so we didn't let it get us down!</div>

After our tour was over we headed on back to the mainland and decided on some lunch. We made our way to Brixton in the Marina . Then walked around the Marina for some shopping and coffee @ Wrecking Ball. I mean I had to get a pic in front of this wallpaper!!!<br />

But lets talk about what transpired before this picture... I ordered my mocha in a pretty little "for here" cup knowing full well I wanted to get a pic with it in front of this Pineapple Wall. Drink comes I pull it up to my face smile for the camera then BAM. Mocha down, all over my only pair of leggings I brought for the trip! #fail. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I somehow convinced Eddie we needed to stop in Lululemon for a backup pair of leggings. #score</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which brings me to lulu leggings - this is my first pair and holy cow where have these been all my life. I got the <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/pants-yoga/High-Times-Pant">High Times full on</a>, and holy suck in. I've read there is a pilling issue, so the jury's still out with last ability. Good thing lulu has the best exchange policy ever. </div>

Our first nights dinner did not disappoint! They brought us to Tosca, and it was heavenly. We ordered 2 orders of the Chicken dish. Which I would eat every day for the rest of my life if I could. It takes about an hour to prepare so if you go order it right away!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Us prior to devouring our chicken... what not all of your husbands carry clutches out at night?! ;)</div>

Day 2 started with brunch at Original Joe's SF. YUM. we then made our way over to AT&T Stadium so Eddie could see the park. It was pretty neat and I wouldn't hate if Fenway was surrounded by water. Looks like a really awesome place to catch a game or just watch from one of the nearby bars.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there are a TON of projects I want to get done prior to bringing home our baby to this house. I am making the best of this in between waiting time to start on these projects. Hey make lemonade out of lemons right?! I have some more months on my hands to get these things done! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago we finally starting tackling our bedroom. We live in a small cape house so our ceilings are slanted on the upstairs of our house. This makes room arranging very difficult! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we moved into the house we had the room flip flopped so our bed was facing the window vs underneath it. And with this set up every morning when I woke up I banged my head on that damn ceiling getting out of bed. So for about a year I talked about switching the room around and FINALLY Eddie agreed to the project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And since we were moving things around, we might as well paint right?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />Lighting is awful in these pics. Still using my iphone camera for everything even though I purchased a fancy new DSLR a few months ago! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />So here's the progression:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paint: Benjamin Moore Cashmere Gray... has a green undertone as you can see!</div>

Now that we had the bed under the window we needed a headboard so we headed to the Boston Interiors warehouse sale and picked up this <a href="https://bostoninteriors.com/furniture/bedroom/beds/queen_beds/avery-button-tufted-queen-headboard/">tufted beauty</a>!!! </div>

But still I was not finished! That gross blind had to go! I loved the look of the wood plantation like shutter blinds so we got some affordable <a href="https://blinds.homedepot.com/p/bali-2-1-2-in-faux-wood-blinds/205361190">faux wood blinds</a> from Home Depot</div>

I've been putting off opening up this blog for the past week. The fact that I had already started my 5 week bump update post makes me cringe. CRINGE. because I only made it to 6 weeks before the baby just stopped growing so there's that. Well at least I never hit publish.. I really don't want to have to look at that post again. I will share this picture... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuGfZMh9i_5jz_8JEbuQ1ADc_wZy9WSZvbELuiAyG2zoPJ0yoy83VXrzHnSLXuPJQF5WHl1rDrMa7FGC9xOXMETyDZahyphenhyphen18ZRQiwUJxR3Yv5UXS3dA2xiX-as2e_rxCVDdn2c28UXncYw/s1600/IMG_3356.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuGfZMh9i_5jz_8JEbuQ1ADc_wZy9WSZvbELuiAyG2zoPJ0yoy83VXrzHnSLXuPJQF5WHl1rDrMa7FGC9xOXMETyDZahyphenhyphen18ZRQiwUJxR3Yv5UXS3dA2xiX-as2e_rxCVDdn2c28UXncYw/s400/IMG_3356.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what happened.. I'm currently waiting for that answer. Praying it was chromosomal and not me. If its chromosomal I get to have the reassurance that our baby really wasn't meant to be. If its something with me, then man, we have a lot more problems than I thought. We should find out by today.. so I've been on pins and needles all week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This IVF cycle was text book for me, I felt GREAT the whole time, barely minded the shots. Now I miss those damn shots. The day of my egg transfer I had acupuncture done then again a week letter, to really send the message home to my body. At the second appointment my acupuncturist said, wow you are SO lucky to have this worked your first try, text book! And as the weeks progressed I really kept thinking about how lucky we really were, too lucky. Part of me just had a gut feeling. I got through Christmas sober (no easy feat as we went away to NH skiing with my family) skiing without Apres.. is it even skiing at all? Luckily there wasn't any snow so that made life a little easier. Because man do I love a good Apres. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We planned a trip to Park City Utah for New Years with my brother to ski. The day before the trip I was able to get into my RE for my 7 week ultrasound, I was SO happy to get this done prior to getting on a plane to set my mind at ease. At this appointment we were going to even get to hear the heartbeat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I settled into the usual position, had Eddie snap a pic, and you know what, in my head I said to myself, well this picture is going to be awful if we find out the baby didn't make it. See that gut feeling, creeping back in. Always trust the gut.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1mjExSgr9OwIkXfFk9C-OHbjV8bxXWj0dn-y_um6eF-bcPXhZK4eTlOVbkXdol8VgVljoUlQ5B1Eq75WB3VHsIU155_sr-AixKMGEf_BXCDawMv7KTl-YxFtMyTVCpKxps3jeccYyIw/s1600/IMG_2111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp1mjExSgr9OwIkXfFk9C-OHbjV8bxXWj0dn-y_um6eF-bcPXhZK4eTlOVbkXdol8VgVljoUlQ5B1Eq75WB3VHsIU155_sr-AixKMGEf_BXCDawMv7KTl-YxFtMyTVCpKxps3jeccYyIw/s640/IMG_2111.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ultrasound tech found the yolk sac showed us the baby all looked good but then she measured and she said just about 6 weeks. But wait that's a week behind, we should be 7 weeks.. man I have to wait another week for everything. weird.. These are all my thoughts. To think I was worried that I was going to have to wait an extra week to meet my baby. When really I should've been thinking... we did IVF the baby's "weeks/days" are down to a science, legit science, there is no way he should be measuring a week behind, that means somethings not right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But still that didn't hit me, we went back to the waiting room to wait for our RE. Oh did I mention it was the first sloppy snow of the season on this day. So our RE was running behind, we were the first appointment that morning. When we finally sat down with him the first words out of his mouth were I'm sorry, then it was slow motion from there. He said the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks and would not be progressing. I cant really remember a whole lot more from that convo, it wasn't very long. I did know that I had a trip plan to Utah in less than 24 hours. What the heck was I going to do. Well per the RE's suggestion we continued the progesterone shots so my body wouldn't miscarry while I was away. Makes sense, so we continued those damn butt shots every day while in Utah and I didn't miscarry there, thank god (gotta find the silver linings). But let me tell you, nothing made me more angry than continuing those stupid shots when they were all for nothing. We made the best of Utah, I really did let myself have a good time there and drinks were plentiful, putting life on hold back in New England.<br />
<br />
Proving that I did enjoy my drinks while in Utah! :)<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story gets worse. And I keep asking myself is this real life? We got back from Utah on Tuesday early AM - i'm talking 2 AM. We walk into a freezing cold house. Heats broken, awesome. we go to bed anyway because we need to sleep, we had to be up at 6 AM to get out the door and head to our follow up ultrasound to confirm the baby is still not growing, a formality before my scheduled D&C.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eddie followed me in his car to the appointment, but I didn't make it very far before getting into a 3 car accident on the highway. Seriously I can't make this up! <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZDC1OmKL-nSJmh-GgIVHqo2GNeOCf4mBwdG18quWlEd5WbM-efYAyQyWIlCc2X4ScfqTZblL9RuobRk-Cdkay7S0UpYdVje50m1o0Kyw5uD4ELZEeOygeznY5C3ImOQYpcWGxkJRL7Jg/s1600/IMG_3486.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZDC1OmKL-nSJmh-GgIVHqo2GNeOCf4mBwdG18quWlEd5WbM-efYAyQyWIlCc2X4ScfqTZblL9RuobRk-Cdkay7S0UpYdVje50m1o0Kyw5uD4ELZEeOygeznY5C3ImOQYpcWGxkJRL7Jg/s640/IMG_3486.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish I took a picture of my face, which face planted the steering wheel. And you know what I said when the a EMT came, I'M PREGNANT, but wait I'm actually not. Well luckily Eddie was close behind and helped get through the police questions and EMT checks. We decided we could still make it to our appointment. So we drove on, and received the confirmation that in fact our baby was not going to make it. We were more prepared this time with questions, and Eddie was really good at making sure we got them all asked. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the D&C happened a week ago on Thursday January 7th, its been ROUGH. A very emotional week. I'm finally starting to feel OK emotionally and pain wise. My nose is finally not swollen anymore and my black eye went away so that helps too. Talk about a LOT to process in a week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So there's that. I had a successful blissfully ignorant IVF cycle for up to 6 weeks. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What's next? Well we wait. It could take up to 6 weeks or so until I get my period again. Then assuming my body checks out we will start the process for our Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET). We are SO lucky to have 4 frozen embryos waiting for us. And I really hope our doctor recommends that we implant 2 this time. I just don't know if I can go through this again or go through a failed FET. With the 2 embryos it will up our chances, and of course up our chances of having multiples as well. But hell the negative Nancy in the back of my brain keeps creeping in.. what if those little embabies don't survive the thaw??!! god I can't let myself think those thoughts. not now. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But hey, its a 3 day we weekend, and I'm still alive. things could be much worse.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today was probably the only time I was looking forward to a Monday! But today brought me 1 day closer to my first BETA to see if our embryo decided to stick around or not!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot has transpired in the past few weeks. I had all intention of updating as I was going along but then before I knew it I was getting wheeled in to get my eggs retrieved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As seen here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't believe how fast November went by, along with all those shots and blood draws! It all seems like a distant memory. That egg retrieval day, that day does not however! It was scheduled the day after Thanksgiving so it was hard to think of much else on turkey day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was absolutely petrified to get the IV in and be put to under anesthesia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The nurses at my center are nothing short than amazing though, and really treated me SO well. The poor nurse had to put in the IV as a sobbeddddd! Yah that pic up there was all for show! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next thing I knew I was waking up asking Eddie "what did my mom and Collette [best friend] say when you sent them the picture?" yah thats what I was concerned about...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My second question however was the correct one, how many eggs??? Well I was very happy to hear 18!! That was a good number for me. Considering my follicles were a little late on the uptake to get to the perfect size around 18 MM </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For education sake, here is my last Ultra Sound Follicle numbers the day I triggered (shot in the heanie that allows for ovulation)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The day of and the day after the egg retrieval were ROUGH. The couch was my bff and it hurt to move an inch. Luckily I had 2 full days to recover. By Saturday we got the report that 15 out of the 18 eggs were Mature and of those 15, 14 fertilized with ICSI. This was GREAT news however I knew that as the days went on some eggs would not progress to the next stages. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long story short we had 1 beautiful embryo ready to head on back in this past Wednesday 5 days after retrieval. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just got the news this afternoon that 4 have made it to the freezer! Happy tears flowing over here. Although I am optimistic that the beautiful embryo pictured above is making itself home, just knowing we have some embryos on reserve without starting the whole IVF process all over again, to make *more* babies makes me so relieved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am today 6DP5DT (6 days past 5 day transfer) and PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise) man do we love our acronyms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />In other news we are living life as close to normal around these parts as well. Sans my glasses of wine at night of course! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />We got our tree up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Happy FriYAY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today is a good Friday indeed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday I got a call from my RE that the US tech wasn't available for my scheduled appointment Sat AM so I needed to come in today! (a day early!) ummm heck yes, music to my ears, another day less that I have to sit and wait and anticipate those bloody shots, LETS DO THIS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So bright and early this AM we made a pit stop on our way to work for a lil blood work and ultrasound to kick off my baseline appointment! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clearly excited about this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And get this, I am a HUGEEE (understatement) baby when it comes to needles. I know I know, there's going to be a lot more needles in my future so going into this I knew I needed to man up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Upon entering my doctors office I see my good ol' friend who did my initial blood work - who was AWESOME, so I immediately get all excited and relieved and say "YOU DID MY BLOOD LAST TIME, THANK GOD!" no good morning, no Hi how yah doing... Well she laughed, and now I think we are BFFS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Moving on.. Eddie's all "want me to come in" and I held my head high and went in myself! bing bang blood work DONE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up Ultra Sound, it was actually kind of neat the tech was awesome and showed my how cool my uterus was on the screen. Then I even got to hold the clipboard and right down the size of my ovaries and follicles as she shouted them at me! AWESOME. It was actually a good experience and I said I would prefer an Ultra Sound over Blood Work any day and she kinda looked at me funny like that wasn't normal? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it's kinda frowned upon when injecting yourself with ovary stimulating hormones to consume alcohol. So apparently my ovaries are the only ones having any fun around here! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This especially doesn't help when around 2 pm today my boss set this frosty on my desk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgNaF663TuTQ9Bzt9HePqgk6N8HRp7ePRzf33Y_nSsTnXPi7FG0e8BYineWAwbyUD0IZIvkxpyVYU_QYY1NW4is4PZ61LqCcZIgwhKavjVc4DCfMODbGZMSJA5ByixDT3rePNPVCcpjDc/s1600/IMG_3289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgNaF663TuTQ9Bzt9HePqgk6N8HRp7ePRzf33Y_nSsTnXPi7FG0e8BYineWAwbyUD0IZIvkxpyVYU_QYY1NW4is4PZ61LqCcZIgwhKavjVc4DCfMODbGZMSJA5ByixDT3rePNPVCcpjDc/s320/IMG_3289.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And since I'm keeping this IVF stuff under wraps at work I had to pretend to drink this thing then throw the precious gods milk away. WOMP. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which brings me to tonight, the night Stims begin! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eddie had to work late so my parents came over for moral support while I injected my very first shot of Gonal F. I took it like a champpp if I don't say so myself! I definitely don't think I could've done it alone. Thank goodness for my family.. seriously it takes a village people!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here I am now, in my first shot over with glory, and one step closer to getting a baby up in there. </div>

We've started our 1st (hopefully only) IVF cycle..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This pic has no relation to the post but it shows the excitement I feel!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cycle began with 3 weeks of birth control, which of those 3 weeks I have 1 more pill to take so it ends today and I can't even tell you how thankful I am to not have to take these pills hopefully EVER again! I know it probably pails in comparison to the side effects I will feel once I start the injections but something about the BC pill just made me feel like I was reverting backwards from baby making... although I know that's silly as usually all IVF cycles begin with this pill!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Side effects from the pill: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ACNE like CRAZY, HURTING I WANT TO HIDE ACNE</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mood swings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anxiety</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DEPRESSION</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last time I was on the pill was when I was in college where I had bouts of depression and now I'm fairly certain these pills had at least something to do with it. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We received our HUGE package of meds & supplies. Not gonna lie this was INTIMIDATING. I let it sit here on my dining room table for a good week before I even looked through it all. (I did make sure to find out which ones had to be in the fridge!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is 7k worth of fertility meds people! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel so bad ass having all of these needles and a sharps container in my house. HA. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok a few things.. I am finally feeling GOOD and EXCITED about this process. That didn't come quickly for me though. I was mad at first. How is this fair?! Then I was scared, needles for 10-12 days up to 3 needles a day, 1 in the rear for 10 weeks assuming our sweet baby sticks! That shtz got me feeling queasy! And now finally EXCITED, I can not WAIT for my baseline appointment which is scheduled for this Saturday @ 7 AM! If all goes well I will begin Stims that night or the next day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is where we are now. If you would've told me 3 years ago that we would be here I would've never seen it coming. Would I give anything to not have to go through IVF to bring our baby here? Yes. But honestly we did start trying just bout 3 years ago now and I am thankful that we had those 3 years to spend as newlyweds just the 2 of us. We both have grown and gotten to know each other more and more with every year (obviously) but now more than ever we both feel SO ready emotionally to be parents. Not to mention we had a heck of lot of fun traveling and doing whatever the heck we wanted the past few years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok LASTLY, I've chosen to go public with this journey, personal preference. I am not that private of a person and I thrive off the support from my friends and family. In the past month of deciding to move ahead with IVF social media and blogs have been my bff I have spent countless hours reading what others have gone and are going through to help prepare me for this. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it! </div>

I never intended to let this little blog and outlet of mine go unattended to for so long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I'm back! and hopefully I don't take another 3 year hiatus again anytime soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's been going on with me since we left off. After moving back to Mass from Washington we had to wait about 6 months before our renter left our house so we continued to bounce between our parents' houses. Getting an apartment just didn't seem logical since I loathed the idea of unpacking and packing again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved back in the projects began, we painted, and repainted, updated the kitchen, fenced in the yard, added a patio, refinished the finished basement after a flood.. the updates to our little cape have been non stop but I've loved every second of it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What else, Eddie & I both have switched jobs since the move back. I lasted about 2 years with my first job in Boston and I really did love it and made some of the best friendships but I had to make a move to better my career. Same with Eddie, so we both took jobs out in Worcester... slightly less appealing location than Boston, and slightly is an understatement! But the jobs have been great for both of us. </div>

Happy New Year to you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been terribly busy lately, err uhh not really.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Christmas was pretty stanking amazing. It's crazy to think that 5 months ago we didn't even think we'd make the trip from Washington to Massachusetts for the Christmas holiday, and here we are all moved back to the East coast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The holiday was filled with family, friends, food and booze… 4 nouns that go together better than non other! Eddie & I exchanged our ornaments, our Christmas tradition, I have to say he outdid me this time.. look at this gem!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the New Year I had one full week off where I was in between jobs! Tomorrow I start my new gig in downtown Boston. I am SOOO very thankful I landed an amazing job so quickly and I am really excited to dive right in. I'll be working in an employee benefits firm which is similar to what I was doing before I moved to Seattle. A lot has changed and evolved in the industry in the past 3 years so hopefully I catch up quick!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to get back into the routine of things shortly, until then…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Popping in for a quick hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We survived the packing, furniture selling, good will drop offs, and 5 hour flight! We are now in Mass! We used Door to Door, a pod service, and packed up most of our belongings and are currently waiting for that little guy to be delivered to us this week. My precious Infiniti is on its way to Mass as well, so we are riding around in a rental and room surfing between Eds parents & mine. So as you can imagine, I am no where near feeling settled and feel like we are just visiting our home state!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love being home, but the cold weather is already getting to me. My skin chapped up the second we got off the plane! Buttt plus side, waking up to a beautifully white lawn this morning was pretty amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course I am already missing Washington, and when I stumbled upon <a href="http://ohsoantsy.bigcartel.com/product/washington-state-necklace">this</a> gem of a necklace at <a href="http://ohsoantsy.bigcartel.com/product/washington-state-necklace">Oh so Antsy</a> I fell in love!</div>

Thanks to my amazing husband I have some beautiful jewelry but now I need a place where I can store it. I love that this Pottery Barn <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/antique-silver-jewelry-boxes/?pkey=cgifts-for-her">jewelry storage organizer</a> is see through too so I can keep my favorite pieces visable!</div>

In all honesty, my xmas wish list was hard for me to compile this year, which is VERY unlike me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's just crazy to think that just 3 months ago Eddie & I weren't even planning on making the trip back to Boston for the holiday and now here we are, not only making it home for the holiday but MOVING home for it. I have a lot on my mind these days and as much as I would LOVE ANY and ALL of the above. I'm just very thankful for life working itself out for us. </div>

So something amazing happened gosh almost 2 weeks ago now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I turned 21!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OMG YES. finally! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I turned 28, head hung low... 30 is CREEPIN!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anywayyyyyy. Something amazing DID happen. Eddie & all of my friends out here in the Pac NW conspired against me and planned one of my most epic bday celebrations to date.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started with having my college bff and savior Jocelyn fly out here to SURPRISE me! This girl flew alllll the way from Boston to surprise ME! I felt pretty special.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My coworker/seattle-best was in cahoots with my husband to make it all go down smoothly. They surprised me at Hillards, a new brewery in the Ballard neighborhood which I HIGHLY recommend.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, after much much much much much thought.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ed & I have decided our time in the Pacific Northwest is coming to an end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been an amazing just about 3 years but we are READY to move back to Massachusetts and start a new chapter of our lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's definitely not going to be an easy transition, as no move is. I love Seattle and part of me was not ready to leave at all, but would I ever be?! I mean who looks forward to a cross country move anyway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've met amazing people on this side of the country and Seattle will always hold a huge part of my heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seattle you damn won me over, and I'm going to miss the crap outta you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We crossed an activity off our Fall to-do list a few weekends back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We found <a href="http://www.bellewoodfarms.com/">Bellewood Acres</a> up in Bellingham, WA, and made a fun Saturday afternoon out of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was close to a 2 hour drive north from Seattle but totally worth the trip!</div>

I was pleasantly surprised with how large the farm was. When you first pull in there was a huge barn filled with yummy food to taste, knick knacks to buy and beer to drink :)</div>

We planned a weekend getaway to the city that never sleeps last weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Vegas did NOT disappoint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We boarded a plane at 6 pm on Thursday night with 4 of our favorite Seattle friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a quick 2 hours we saw the lights... the city amazes me when you fly in, all of these lights appear smack dab in the middle of nowhere!</div>

A quick shower and we were ready to hit the town. We stayed at the MGM Grand, they recently renovated the majority of the rooms there and were offering a great deal!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The casino left much to be desired, but we didn't spend a whole lot of time there anyway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I rented 2 out of 3 dresses I wore from <a href="http://www.renttherunway.com/">Rent The Runway</a>. This was my second weekend renting from them and I have had great experiences both times! I highly recommend! </div>

The first night was a bit short lived, and I am so very thankful we didn't over do our first night as we had a cabana waiting for us bright and early the next a.m. located right along the MGM's Lazy River.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was really happy with our Cabana at the MGM. They charge by a food and beverage minimum and we most likely would've gotten close to that just being on the regular chairs around the pool ordering food and drinks. So, for 6 people it was a pretty good deal. </div>

We went to Old Vegas on our last night. I highly recommend hitting up Old Vegas if you find yourself in Vegas. The drinks are cheaper and there is some real fun people watching, not like there isn't on the strip too though, but it's a nice change of scenery!</div>

From then on it was non stop on the dance floor! I got some great advice from my "new" cousins Alicia & Ronnie, that everyone will follow the bride and grooms lead so if they are on the dance floor everyone else will be too!</div>

Dancing, Eating and Drinking!</div>

My brother was paired up with one of best childhood friends. It was only fitting, Kim and I spent many hours tagging/trying to tag along with Colin as kids! And I can't count the # of times he's walked into Kim & I dancing around in my parents living room to Ace of Base.</div>

Moments before our entrance, I made Eddie promise no silly dance moves, lets just walk in smile at our friends and fam and start our first dance...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From our first dance we moved into the toasts. My dad was the first one up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Things were going real good...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then, he whipped out a letter from his pocket that I had written circa 1989ish entitled "I Hate My Dad"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He gave such a great toast, and adding this letter was so hilarious. Although I may not be in my single digits anymore. I still hold some of those very same characteristics as I did when I as a child.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Including... getting what I want. ;)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up my beautiful maid of honor Collette aka Brady.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She had me laughing..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.. then crying, with her thoughtful toast. Keeping strong friendships isn't the easiest thing when you move so far away from each other, but Collette makes it easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that she included in her toast that she knew when she met Eddie that I was going to marry him. She really did, I remember those exact words coming out of her mouth upon first meeting. You called it girl, oh you called it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up best man Jimmy, he did a great job explaining how Eddie has had a "lucky" streak for sometime now... obviously right, since he got me?!! ha. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, Eddie took the mic. I mentioned in <a href="http://www.fredsgettingmarried.blogspot.com/2012/08/prepping-men-at-work.html">this</a> post how we were both supposed to speak, I just couldn't do it. Eddie is a great public speaker and was more than happy to take over the job himself to thank our guests for joining us!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
while I just smiled pretty.. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After some eating and mingling we moved onto the cake..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had SUCH anxiety cutting this cake, I could hardly enjoy the moment... maybe I just loved the cake that much and didn't want to ruin it.. maybe I was just worried Eddie would get it on my gown.. who knows?! But I was not enjoying myself at this very moment..<br />
</div>

Once we arrived at the venue we hopped off the trolley quickly in search for..... FOOOD.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a total bride fail by not stocking my suite up with food for my girls for the 6 or so hours that we prepped for. I could hardly eat so I wasn't really even thinking about it, but obviously my girls didn't have the serious nerves going on like I did. </div>

And also.... he did my mom & I a favor and shaved the day of the wedding. He had some serious facial hair going on. Thanks Dad, although I did love your beard/gohtee thingy. Clean shaven dad is the one I'm used to :)</div>

Before I recap this moment, I have to say how much I loved our photographer's style, as I look at all our pictures I really feel like she did a great job telling OUR story through her pictures. I realize this style may not be for everyone, but it was exactly what we wanted, I am so thrilled we picked <a href="http://www.katiehallphoto.com/">Katie</a> to document this very special day. </div>

Barbara, the owner, was amazing to work with. I really had so much ambition to make all of the paper goods myself at the beginning of the wedding process, but I am so glad I gave control to Mayla Studios. She personalized them perfectly for us! She is currently hosting a giveaway, for a set of 25 Thank you cards!! Like Mayla Studios' <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/MaylaStudios">Facebook</a> page to be entered to win. Once she hits 200 likes she will pick a winner!!</div>

Barbara, the shop owner of Mayla Studios, ended up going on maternity leave right around the time of our wedding (which I knew well beforehand!!). I found an Etsy seller <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/LittlePaperFarmhouse">Little Paper Farmhouse</a> to quickly make our escort cards, which I waited to the VERY last minute to decide on!</div>

Right before our first look I had my maid of honor, Collette, head down to Eddie's room to hand over the rings and my special gifts to him. I'm pretty sure for the FIRST run he answered the door in his boxers and they had to have a "redo" ohhhh the little details!</div>
