7 weeks down...

Sorry on the delay on the blog but I am back at it now.. I want to say that yes all has worked and I am now 7 weeks pregnant. We had the first sonogram yesterday and all is up to date. 123 heartbeat and about the size of a raisin. The guys are extremely happy as are we for them.

I am feeling tired already, some clothes are already not friends of mine and chicken well.... Is no longer my everything... I will say that girl scout cookies could not have come out at a better time being I ate almost two whole boxes in 2 days.

Things all on track the due date is October 14. I really would like to thank everyone for all of your support and love that you have shown us all. An I can't tell you how much it has all meant to me. I would also like to thank the woman who has not only dealt with my hormones already, helped with my weekly shots, but has been my rock through this whole process, Emily. I could not have done even half of this with out her by my side. She has took on a great thing with me and it only shows me what a fabulous partner I have.Not that I wasn't completely sure before all of this but I know for sure that I can get through anything because I have love, security, and happiness in my life with her.

So everyone prepare for 8 more months of blogs, pictures, complaining ha ha and lots of hormones... I plan to be more active with my blog and keeping everyone involved in this fantastic journey. People keep telling me what a great thing I am doing and how proud they are of me. Well it is a no brainer this decision and I would only hope their are more people out there who can help give life to amazing families who just want a child. No thanks are needed it is truly my pleasure to share in this gift.

The results are in.....

Well everyone our New York trip went great. The transfer went well and minus all the snow it was a great visit. Em took great care of me and made sure I did just what she or well... the doctor ordered. Well after bed rest, we ventured out in the city to Regis and Kelly and Rachael Ray. It was definitely a great trip. Well all the bed rest, and my girlfriend insisting on doing everything for me paid off.

The results just came in, and I am in fact pregnant. Thanks to everyone for all the great emails, and comments. I appreciate everyone who is following my blog as it will continue through out this whole journey. Em and I are so excited for the guys and are ready for the road ahead. 

I have so much love and support and I couldn't have done this all with out my girlfriend. She is truly one of a kind. Love you babe.

Tomorrow is the day.....

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for continuing to follow my blog. Well we are back at it again. Seems like just yesterday I started this blog, and now I am on my way to New York tomorrow. Things have been going so well and it is so exciting to share this journey with all of you. The love and support I have received from all of you has made everything so much easier.

Well the guys came on Sunday for the day and we took them sight seeing. We had a great walk around DC, seeing all the monuments and enjoying the sights. We had a fabulous dinner at Carmine's and we really all felt like family. We started this journey as complete strangers and we have come to blend all together to have a great friendship.

Tomorrow Emily and I get on the train and arrive in New York at 11am. We have plans for lunch then it is time for our appointment. This cycle was a fresh cycle so all the embryos are ready to go. I have been continuing all the medications and shots that is needed and my body apparently is better then it ever could be. Bring it on I say.

I was so worried for so long, if everyone will understand, will I have to answer 1000 questions but you know?? I have yet to come across anyone who doesn't get it, who doesn't support us and it is truly a great feeling. I have all the hope and faith that this is their time. They are two fabulous men who will be amazing parents, and I am so happy to be involved.

I want to take a moment to not only thank all of you who have supported me but my girlfriend Emily who has been my rock through it all. She has been the one to help with the muscular needles, she has been there for all the doctor appointments I have had to go and she will be right along side me tomorrow and everyday on. She is truly the love of my life and I am so happy to have love and support and joy from my other half.

 Well wish me luck everyone.. Transfer is at 130pm tomorrow then bed rest for the day. We will know Feb 4th if it all worked out. Keep me in your thoughts!!!
