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.
4 weeks today
So I am exactly 4 weeks pregant today. So far I am feeling ok. I have KILLER cramps though! Which I hear is "normal". Only 2 days to go until our next beta! I am praying it doubled! We've been testing at home still hoping to see that line get darker and darker, and this is what we've got....MUCH DARKER!!! And this taken after I went to the bathroom about 10 mins earlier...I had to go again, so I said screw it!!! LOL
This in comparison to the one done yesturday morning with FMU. As you can see MUCH darker already! So that is the update here so far. I'll update again soon!

I am so happy about your beta! The line is SOOO dark now! Your in my thoughts and I can't wait to see your next beta.
Jen- That's super dark! YAY! And yes you'll have super cramps, it's a combination of implantation going on still, your uterus changing already and the OHSS. It will let up though. YAY!
