Opps - Bad Daddy

We've been bad about updating the blog but some milestones I've been keeping tabs on so I'll back date this to ensure we have some of Livy's more memorable moments.

The most recent - Livy is officially saying the F-bomb. Yup, I"m pretty sure its Dwayne who taught it to her (since he uses it the most) and today he's the one who heard her using it - over and over again. Tonight I heard it for myself. Uggh - and so it begins, the bad parenting traits start to rear its head.

Livy putting her crocs on (wrong feet) and chasing me around the kitchen saying 'up' with me trying to get a photo of her.

So far so good

Dec 3 Another 1st beta on December 3rd (starting to see all the deja vu's with our cycle with Olivia yet?) and we got the results that YES (so far) we are pregnant. It was a surprisingly (may not so surprisingly due to the number of embryos transfered) strong beta and it has us worrying a bit about the number of embryos that implanted. Rest assured we've had good betas that have turned into a 1st trimester loss so while we're esctatic that we're here, we're not getting ahead of ourselves and counting our chickens before they hatch (ok, bad joke). For the record, if all works out the due date for this baby is August 13, 1 day after Olivia's due date and one day before her actual birthdate.

Fingers crossed it works, just not too well

(Nov 23) We recieved the call from the clinic that they want to do a 3-day transfer. Once there we transfered 3 beautiful embryos. It was a scary moment as we of course simply want (in an ideal world) one beautiful baby. So, we have our fingers crossed that it works, just not too well.

Opps, we did it again

(November 20) While Dwayne and I would feel eternally greatful for simply having Olivia as our only child we decided that we wanted to try again for another baby. Its for purely selfish reasons, not for a sibling for Livy, but because we love being parents and want to fill our lives with more of the wonderful things that she's brought us. So, we initiated another cycle (with a number of ups and downs) and we're pleased to say that on November 20 (2 years and 1 day after we did it the last time) we once again went through egg retrieval (this time with a clinic on Vancovuer Island) in the hopes of having another successful pregnancy.

She's a big girl now

Today we moved Livy into her toddler bed (well not really moved her, simply removed the front panel off her crib so she has easy in and out access).

It took a few days for her to get that she could in and out herself but now she's a natural and will even crawl out in the dark.

Oh my, she's growing up before our eyes.
