What is with the Pineapple reference?

The reason this baby is referred to as our little "Pineapple" is because of the nickname Bob gave me after we started IVF. Bob said because I had endured so much, and was so strong I was like a "pineapple". The outer shell of a pineapple is strong, stubborn, hard headed, but once you peel back those layers it's just a mushy, sweet fruit inside. So immediately when we found out we were pregnant the ladies on my board started calling the baby our like Pineapple. So there you have it, how the nick name Pineapple and TTP (Teeny Tiny Pineapple) came to be.

Why a blog?

I wanted to share our Journey of IVF and TTTC with others. It is and was a long difficult road, and I feel that if I can help even one woman find comfort, give suppport, and make a difference even just woman who is going thru infertility or IVF than I have done something wonderful. I've brought a sense of understanding and comfort to someone else. To my fellow TTTCR's I pray for us all, and we will have our babies.....

Our Dream

Some dream of big houses
Or shiny new cars,
Ours is to someday
Hold a baby that’s ours
Some dream of more money
To hoard and to keep,
Mine is to someday
Rock my baby to sleep.
Some dream of careers
In buildings so tall,
His is to someday
Toss his kid a baseball.
Some dream of great power
To be strong and tough,
Ours is to someday
Have a child to love.
Some dream of things
Such as silver and gold
Ours is of the day
Our child we’ll hold.

Our IVF Meds arrived

IVF is officially underway .....
Well it's finally here our IVF cycle is underway. Just look at this box of meds we got today!! A/K/A "Baby In A Box"






















The medications to the far right of this pic got cut out. I took this while taking "inventory" of our order to be sure all was received.

So, Yeah holy snikey medications!! All injections, and some pills, and patches. This is not going to be a fun couple of weeks. I apologize in advance to my poor husband who is most likely going to have to deal with a hormonal wife for the next few weeks! I love you baby, and I am so sorry! Anywho, I start this "Box 'O Fun" tommorrow and will continue all the way thru the end of the month until after Egg Retrevial and Embryo Transfer time. I'll keep ya'll updated as we go along! Wish me luck giving myself my first injection tommorrow! Yikes!!
