Here's a quick glance at some of the things that we had to do in order to grow our little family.
First a couple of baby photos:
16 Week skeleton face babies. Spooky!
Okay- to get started: You've got to buy a heap of medicine.
And just when you think you've got enough...you have to get more...and more...and more...
Then you have to do a lot of this early, early in the mornings...
And this as soon as you get home in the evenings...
You also need one of these bad boys full of smokey ice to keep your babies frozen on the car ride from one doctor to the next. It was kind of cool. It made me think of Jurassic Park.
Then you've got to do this a few times. :o(
And when that's over you have to have plenty of these containers to fill up with insane amounts of needles after your husband sticks you in the butt with those needles like lawn darts. Yeow! Sometimes you'll feel like an Intervention junkie.
And finally, you've got to go to the doctor.....A LOT....
But the most key ingredient to make it all work:
A loving husband that keeps the excitement high and the mood always positive.

Wow, Steffy. This whole post gave me a new found respect for you. I don't think people who haven't been through IVF can even begin to understand what it's like...even after watching this, I still can't begin to understand the emotion and stress behind it, but I can understand that it's a LOT of work. Good job. You will be blessed for your efforts to bring children into this world.
Thanks for sharing your journey. I know it's not easy to share things so personal. So happy you guys are expecting! 2 little ones will be exciting! (and busy--but really it's awesome being a parent)
