I have to say...I LOVE my baby doc. Not only is he compassionate and gentle (which-let me say...is important when you have everyone up, in and around your parts lol) but he always has good news for me! The Sono/Mock went well today, despite a little hiccup on my part...I forgot the part where I was supposed to take a pregnancy test this morning and bring it with me in a baggie to the appointment...Totally spaced that...up until the point where I was sitting in the waiting room...I freaked, explained to the receptionist and asked if I had time to run to Walgreens...And that's that. Off to Walgreens, buy a pee test AND baggies...utilize Walgreens bathroom (after waiting for a manager to unlock the door for me...puleeeeez how embarrassing) insert pee stick into baggie and race back down to the office. After that it was all fun and games. I mean-what's more fun than catheters, stirrups and pelvic ultrasound probes? Happy Monday to ME! MORE PLEASE! ;)
The Sono/Mock transfer revealed a beautiful (although retroverted and retroflexed-whatever that means) uterus just waiting for embryos! So...now we wait...I never thought I'd be excited for my monthly to come and birth control pills to start...but I want it! I want it now! If all goes well, I will have blood work checking hormone levels on Cycle Day 3 and Cycle Day 10. From there we start the stimulation-lots of needles, lots of medication, and hopefully NOT a lot of fainting...I hope Cody is ready because HE will be the one administering the fun juice. I just dont think I can give myself a shot...and this is twice a day people...Pregnancy will be like nothing after two weeks of shots and hormones. (And none of you better rain on my parade and tell me how difficult pregnancy will be-I choose to be ignorant and naive. Pregnancy will be sunshine and kittens, ok?)
All we ask is prayers that the doctors will have wisdom and skilled hands and that my body will do what it is supposed to do...And maybe...just maybe I will have a fetus instead of crocodiles in my uterus come August...LOTS of prayers please!

Tomorrow is HUGE
Tomorrow we begin our IVF journey...This has been a long time coming for me and I am excited, terrified, nervous and hopeful all at the same time! The thought of even going through this process...getting pregnant...being pregnant...actually having a baby-a REAL baby...of my own...I can't fathom the thought...Surreal...
I've just this evening begun the first of many meds to come over the next two months...Two Zithromax down the hatch (and two for Cody-he gets to get in on this action too!) and two more in the morning. You know it's gonna be good times for sure when the nurse tells you to be sure and take 4 advil in the morning before the "procedure" and to come with a full bladder-that is always the BEST part. My FAVE. Love that "about to pee my pants for realzzzzz" feeling. I'm telling you right now my bladder isn't what it used to be. Ask the kids...They know why I don't jump on the trampline! ;) Seriously...they know. Anywhoosies...Tomorrow is my Sonohysterogram/Mock Transfer. This involves the table with stirrups (another fave), a catheter, and a pelvic ultrasound wand...Don't be jealous peeps...seriously. Hopefully this will go off without a hitch and after five minutes I can ditch the paper towel blanket and get back into real clothes. (Not that I have anything against oversized itchy paper towels and no skivies). And...hopefully the sonogram reveals a perfectly beautiful uterus with no polyps, fibroids or crocodiles.
Did I mention the tumor on my ovary disappeared? I think Dr. Moffitt might think I'm crazy because after spending an hour discussing the pros and cons to removing the tumor before or after IVF and pregnancy he performed an ultrasound on his own and...NO TUMOR! Endometriomas don't disappear on their own...It's not possible...But miracles do happen and I feel so beyond grateful and blessed for this miracle that, to me, is proof more than ever that Heavenly Father loves and cares about ME and answers prayers! Needless to say, we spent an extra hour afterwards discussing IVF minus the tumor.
Ugh...time for bed. My belly does NOT like two Zithromax at once...Here's to a good night's sleep with (hoepfully) no vomiting :)
We will be fasting again next fast Sunday-for a successful IVF cycle, and hopefully a healthy pregnancy and baby to follow.

Prayers For This Sweet Girl

| Poor Trin isn't feeling so smiley this week. She has been so very sick and we can't seem to get a handle on it. Tonight is the first night with the breathing machine but her coughing seems worse...Constant and Uncontrollable....Prayers for our sick trinmonster please :) |

Finally a First Place Medal! :)
Well...everyone...the good news first: Trinmonster took home her first gold medal in this last weekend's Far West Classic Tournament in Avondale! :) We are so proud! She played her little heart out, as did the rest of our favorite girlies and I felt so lame wanting to high five and hug every single one of them. They are sweeties and I LOVE every one of them! They worked hard for first so CONGRATS my Galaxy 2012 U10 girls!
And now for the bad news: The weather was MISERABLE. I wanted to D.I.E. Cold, rainy, a little hail, wind...It was just awful. And...we didn't win the 50/50 raffle...oh well..the girls still raised around $600 to go towards nationals in Knoxville, TN in July! Woohoo!
We are also lovin our Spring 2012 baseball team. We have a couple kids that we have coached in the past and these boys are total sweethearts...and goofballs. It's been quite an adjustment going from coaching T-ball and farm to Minors now but it is awesome. Austin is improving dramatically and soon he'll be ready to take on pitching! Go White Sox! First game is this Saturday, wish little Austin luck!

Bye-Bye Beardy!
No one recognizes Cody anymore...He promised Trin's team that if they won the Kachina tournament that he would shave his beard....Somehow that turned into the GIRLS would shave his beard...And...they didn't take first but the girls won the last game and took home a third place metal after an AWESOME game so...the beard had to go. It was adorable when the girls ran by for high five's after the game little Lauryn screams..."Time to shave your husband's beard!" I think that was more fun for them than winning the game.
Anyway...Here are the pics...HILARIOUS! Poor Cody ended up pretty patchy but he fixed it the next morning with a razor. We let the girls take the clippers to the beard...no sharp razors that's for sure :)
Even though they didn't take first, they played their little hearts out and played sooooo well. They really are coming together as a team and learning how to work together. Once again, we are at tournaments all this weekend in Avondale. Will let you know later how they do :) They're gonna have to find someone else to shave for this one!

Kachina... Day Dos
Well...We are more exhausted...more sunburned...a bit poorer (is that even a word?)...and glad the weekend is over. Sounds so strange to say...but these tournament weekends can be brutal-especially with the unseasonable heat and having the sun on you all day. Even with my SPF 55 I still fry like no other...which is weird..cuz I'm Mexican you know....hmmmm :)
We placed third overall but we ROCKED this team of brats from Cali. Every game they played yesterday they won by shut out with scores of 9-0 and 7-0. But today?!.....we held our own. Not only did they only score four on us, but we were the only team to score on them. The girls were sooo pumped and we are so proud of them.
