The long journey to where we are today.

Sometimes we look at each other still in disbelieve that are actually pregnant!.. Seriously it finally happened? And this isn't a dream.  WOW..  The only thing we have known for the past 3+ years is doctors appointments, shots, tests and procedures.. Seems like there was never an end it site.. Docs always said you have such good chances of having a kid you should have no problem since your young..  Yeah right, those docs had no clue what they were talking about..    No doctor, nurse or other IVF couple can really truly prepare you for what your about to do..   Sure they can tell you about the shots and the side effects and all the appointments and the odds of this working and the odds of that working..  Knowing all of that ahead of time it still doesn't prepare you for  any of it..  Its like going on a hike in the mountains in the dark with no flashlight, with no map or sign of daylight.. Some how you have to get from point A to B, I'm still amazed we actually made it here. 

We are already 15 weeks! Crazy how time flies  and I'm glad the first 12-14 weeks flew by fast! Here is a picture of our little peanut a couple weeks ago!.. Now its about double that size actually its about the size of an orange. Seems like the trend is comparing your babies size to fruit, I don't know who started that.. No one has really said yet that I'm showing but I give it another week..   I'm trying to wear all my favorite cloths because I know I'm down to just days before they wont fit.  

 It will be around 18-20 weeks that we will find out the gender.. The plan is to have a Gender Party with the family. That will be the day that Keny and I and all of our families find out if its a boy or girl!.   More details on that to come.. Probably will be sometime end of Aug or beginning of Sept.  Invitations to future grandparents, great grandparents, aunts,uncles and siblings will go out soon.   If you haven't heard of a gender party well your in for a surprise! I'm not going to tell you how the surprise will play out.. You will see. I will post pictures too. 


We are due 1/25/2013..
