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.

We have a transferred Embryo =0)

We arrived at 11:00, and the nurses were so welcoming, and seemed excited. I guess that is their nature. Anyways we arrive, and at this point I am instructed to change, and take my 2nd vailum pill, and drink 8 ozs of water. I change, take the pill, and drink my water. We are then brought to our room where DH is handed a set of scrubs to put on over his clothes to go into the OR room with me. The Dr. doing the transfer came in and introduced herself, and my ultrasound tech came into the room and I was so happy to see a familiar face. Then our IVF nurse another familiar face yay even more comforting! So at this point was feelin really anxious, and away we were brought to our OR room. At this point I was advised the bed I was already on turns into a examination bed, and that I wouldn't have to move or anything. They brought my DH as stool to sit on next to me and he immediately started rubbing my arm, and I looked up and smiled at him. At this point the embryologist from the lab came into the room and advised us we had a beautfiul 6 cell Grade A to transfer, and it looked great. The u/s tech did a quick scan to make sure my ovaries were ok, they were swollen but not too bad. When the dr began with setting up for the transfer It was really uncomfortable b/c of my swollen ovaries. I started to cry but not weeping just couldn't help it b/c the pain was unbearable, only b/c of the speculum that was used. Once in place I was fine, and then we watched her place the embryo into my uterus. It was AMAZING..it was a lil sparkle, and our u/s tech gave us a picture of our lil bean in place. She said that they the sparkle is our embryo. The transfer procedure was actually a breeze was really quick. They wheeled me back our room, and I had to lay down for about 30 mins, then I was able to get up, go to the bathroom my poor bladder..lol get dressed and be discharged. I was instructed to go home, and take rest. I am downstairs on the couch right now watching DVD's and nesting, and when DH gets home later I'll journey upstairs. As my Nurse said earlier....we are pregnant until beta says otherwise! It's so weird to think about...I got on the 11th for our Beta. Stick lil bean stick
