E Squared: We *heart* Santa!!!

Just a quick post to show off our Christmas pjs...then I have to run to bed...because, well you know. Santa Claus is coming tonight...Ella in only in one picture because she was super grumpy...we'll see what Santa leaves for that naughty little girl.

Edie loves to play with the presents.....here she is posing and smiling for the camera...

Taking a little milk break from all the present "cruising"......oh yeah and dancing.....the girl LOVES to dance...

And Rubi has been a good girl too......she is already asleep waiting for Santa...

By the way...I have a new teeth count........

Ella Grace.....5! That's right people. F!I!V!E!.......

Edie Claire....0! Still no teeth....I guess you can't do everything first!

Our quest for a baby (or two).

9/2003 got married
9/2003 stopped worrying about getting pregnant
2/2005 excruciating abdominal pain. ER visit. Exploratory Lap. Right fallopian tube removed due to torsion (twisting).
2/2005 referred to RE (reproductive endocrinologist) because even though left tube was not removed it had hydrosalpinx (fluid in it). Chances of it functioning slim to none.
4/2005 met with RE to discuss options. Chose to not proceed right away.
4/2006 decide to revisit RE and start IVF process. Began all the counting, measuring, blah blah blah. You girls know all the crap we have to do.
6/2006 ER (egg retrieval) and first ET (embryo transfer) and first BFN (big fat negative). The day of my ER was also the same day my biological mother died and a dear friend had brain surgery. PHEW!!!
8/2006 second try with a FET (frozen embryo transfer). Second BFN. Damn it.
2/2007 RE and OB decide it best to go ahead and remove the left fallopian tube. Just in case that is causing problems. I say go for it -- because according to my RE everything else was perfect. The eggs, the embryo, my lining, my labs, etc... so why the hell was I not pregnant yet? So tube begone.
2/2007 OB says we can go right ahead with another cycle but we sit it out awhile. I had to rebuild my spirit. It was crushed by this point.
6/2007 Final FET. Last 3 frozen embryo. If it didn't work - not sure if we would do another round. But alas -- we got a BFP (big fat positive). I took at least 15 pregnancy tests before the RE confirmed it with blood work.
3/2008 Edie and Ella are born. And the rest has been blogged about -- so read up!!!
