Thanksgiving
The week of Thanksgiving was special for many reasons. It was our first big holiday with a little one on the way, my whole family was coming to our house to help us celebrate, and we held our gender reveal party! Mom and Dad arrived on Tuesday, and Em, Drea, and the boys arrived on…

More Ultrasounds
In early October, we had our 8-week appointment and ultrasound at Kaiser. Once again, everything was textbook. At our first appointment, they’d told us we should be able to hear the heartbeat at the 8- or 9-week mark, so we were excited to possibly hear little peanut’s ticker. At this 8-week appointment, they said we’d…

Trauma
As I mentioned last week, Baby Jackson is doing great. I don’t want anyone to worry about that when they see this week’s post title. But the title is very appropriate for what I’m going to share. Sometime between our first couple of ultrasounds, I had a scary flashback. I went to one of Nick’s…

The First Ultrasound
First, I’m sorry I’m a week behind on posting this blog. I should’ve known the week of and the week after Thanksgiving was just going to be too busy and fun to sit down and write a new post, but I was optimistic. I’ll share more about our fun holiday week in an upcoming blog…

The Details
Since Harvey officially let the cat out of the bag, I can finally share all the details of when everything happened. I shared about how our frozen embryo transfer went, but I intentionally left out when it happened. While I am trying to give an honest account of this process, I also wanted a little…

Harvey’s Announcement
A few blogs ago, I shared about our special Great Dane, Aurora. I thought it only fair I share a little bit about Harvey, our Pitbull mix, too. But first, Harvey has a very special announcement he’d like to share… That’s right… our embryo transfer worked! Harvey’s going to be a big fur brother. We’re…

Memory Lane, Pt. 2
After Nick and I met at the coffee shop, we decided to set up our first date. We settled on dinner and mini-golfing. When I asked what restaurant to meet him at, Boston Market was his reply. I was a little surprised. Boston Market didn’t really seem like a date-type restaurant to me, and all…

Memory Lane, Pt. 1
Yesterday, I was scrolling Facebook and a memory popped up. It was from 10 years ago, and it was the very first picture Nick and I took together as a couple. It got me thinking… I haven’t ever shared here how Nick and I met. So let me change that. [In my best Sophia voice…]…

Sorry!
More than just one of my favorite games as a child… Sorry! is how I feel about the last few weeks with no blog posts. There’s been a lot going on. Our Fall and last-of-the-year softball season wrapped up last week, and it’s nice to finally have all our evenings free. I got a promotion…

The Transfer
As promised, we’re back to the IVF journey this week, and it’s time to talk about the exciting part of the FET – the actual transfer! The night before our transfer, Nick and I went out for sushi and cocktails. This would *hopefully* be my last raw fish for a few months. The next morning,…
