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.

First ultrasound is scheduled

Our first ultrasound will be on March 11th. One week shy of our two year wedding Anniversary.
How am I feeling...well I believe what is called Morning Sickness is rearing her ugly head.

Last night after eating a slice of pizza, I felt sick, and so fatigued, I was laying there watching TV at 6:30 the next thing I knew It was 8:10. I went up to bed at 9:30 and couldn't get out of bed this morning when my alarm went off at 6:00am, so I slept until 7:00.

I got up and showered, and I felt like hell throughout most of the morning. Between Heartburn, a gagging feeling, cramps, gas, pressure and bloat, I am just unfreaking comfortable right now. When I roll over in bed, it feels like someone has put a knife into my ovary, and is pulling at it. My nurse says that is completely normal, and so is feeling like hell. She said I may be one of the unfortunate ones who experiences m/s earlier than most. So I go for another round of bloodwork on Saturday, and then the wait begins until March 11th..I am praying we hear/see a heartbeat. This journey has been wonderful despite feeling poorly....and I don't want it to stop..=) Thank You all for your prayers, and thoughts..onto phase II..heartbeat...
