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.

Tuesday is Egg Retreival day

Tuesday is our Egg Retrevial day!!


I have to go in tommorrow Sunday morning for one final round of bloodwork, and an ultrasound. As of Friday things are looking beautiful. I have 16 follicles on both the right and the left ovaries. 9 are maturing on the left, and 12 on the right, all within a 12-15 mm range. They need to be 19-22mm for retrevial. I am a little uncomfortable right now, only b/c my ovaries are working so hard.


Transfer will be either a 3 or 5 day so that means either the Friday or Sunday of next week. We won't have any results until 11 days after transfer....It's almost all over I"ll feel much better once we get past 12 weeks of pregnancy and then it will all be real. Talk to everyone soon!
