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.

This weekend is for me...

Most anyone that knows me, knows that Fall is my favorite season. I love the bright colors,the smell of the crisp fall air, the smell of woodstoves, pine needles, fresh baked pies. One of my favorite places to be during the peak of fall is in Vermont. My grandparents have a place in Arlington, and we take one day and spend it traveling up Route 7 all the way up to beyond Manchester. Country Shops, Candle Shops, and the beloved "Pumpkin Patch" I've been going here since well basically since I was born. It's a nice place that just screams fall! A big old display of Halloween characters made entirely of Pumpkins, and Scarecrows....and my favorite .....homemade Apple Cider and homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream. It's AWESOME! Bob has yet to go with me yet b/c he's busy with weddings this time of year, but by this time next year by we will have our little miracle he WILL be going..lol. My In Laws come into town Friday night, the guys are going golfing in the Matt Torra Tournament, and my Mother In Law, my bestfriend CarrieAnn and I leave early Saturday morning..We will drive to Arlington and pick up my gram and start out on our Country Fall Adventures. We are spending the day together..I cannot wait I need this day...I have been stressed out, and just blah, and I think this is going to be exactly what I need before going thru IVF 2. Maybe we'll even find a nice lil place to stop off and have some country wine =0) We'll be taking lots of pics so I will be sure to post when we get back probably not until Sunday =0) Saturday night all of us gals will head out for a dinner and drink back here in the Berkshires..so anyone who wants to join us is invited =0) Just send me a message and we'll figure out the details =0)

Happy Fall Everyone!!!

IVF #1 BFN

Bob and I want to first and foremost thank you all for your support & prayers. Unfortunately, we will not receive our miracle this time around. IVF 1 Failed......not even a registered beta...less than one...I don't even know what to say.... I am numb, and obviously sad. ..I just don't know how to process this right now...life is just unfair sometimes it really is......right now Bob and I need time to deal with this so please be understanding if you were waiting to hear from us over the phone and have not.....we apologize we are just trying to deal with this as best we can. Thank you again everyone!!!

P.S. We will be speaking with our Dr. on 9/12 and our next plan is ICSI which is a more agressive means of IVF.
