Ready for 2015!

I have never been more ready for a year to be over. Sure sometimes we have things to look forward to so we wish time away but I am just done with it. I want a fresh start. Our year has been the worst year of our lives. 

So after we had William I had surgery again for retained placenta. We were hoping to do a FET after that. Well my cycle was messed up so the next month. Then my cycle started too late and my Dr would be gone when we would transfer so another month behind! Finally in November we transferred 2 embryos. And we also learned I wasn't pregnant. How could our luck be stuck on terrible no good news still? We had 3 embryos left after this. I talked with my doctor and she agreed to thaw and transfer all embryos. So I prepared for my last cycle. Transfer day was December 5 and 2 of our 3 embryos survived the thaw and were transferred. On December 13 (12/13/14) we found out that it worked. My numbers were much lower then with the twins but that just meant there was probably one. I went back 2 days later and they like them to double in 48 hours and mine was a doubling time of around 32 hours so all was good! I was so scared when they called that it was bad news but it wasn't. I was due to go back December 29 but we changed it to 30th because of a scheduling conflict. 

Christmas started like any other Christmas with Santa, breakfast and present opening. Delainee also made a bracelet for William for Christmas so we were going to send it up with balloons. It was our first Christmas without our babies and also William's 6 month Angelversary. I felt something was off before we went out to let off the balloons but while we were out there the gush came. I rushed back into the house and there was blood. My heart sank. I had bleeding last time and it was just bleeding buy my heart told me different this time. I laid in bed, called my doctor and the bleeding was letting up. She wasn't real concerned because bleeding is very common in IVF pregnancies. My bleeding got worse through the day and I wasn't able to do anything. We didn't even have our Christmas meal. I called the office Friday and they said they wanted to see me first thing Monday to see what was going on and to rest all weekend. Well Monday brought bad news. No baby and my numbers had decreased. I miscarried. We lost 3 babies this year. 3! It isn't fair. Not one bit! And now we are battling insurance to cover testing to see if there are more underlying conditions. If it isn't one thing it is another! 

So as you can see we welcome 2015! The future is uncertain but for now we will focus on health and continue our journey later. It is time for a break to try to find the people we once were.

Sweet Wlliam

Sweet Baby Boy-

I can not believe tomorrow is the day, the day you were due. It has been over 5 months since I felt you move. I miss you every second of every day, we all do. Delainee talks about you all the time. She misses you so much. She is truly the best big sister and you are so lucky to have her. I just wish she could see you like you can see her. I wish she could hold you, feed you and smell that sweet new baby smell you would have. I wish I could see your daddy holding his baby boy. I just know you would look just like him. That cute chin dimple and big blue eyes. We prayed for you, we wanted you and we waited for you. Now we miss you even more! I should be up at night either feeding you or because I am so pregnant my bladder feels full every 20 minutes. I wish I could wake up and you would be here with us. One day we will meet again in Heaven, what a glorious day that will be! One day William I pray that you will be a big brother and watch over your baby brother or sister. It has been a long and hard road and continues to be and it makes me miss you more and more. I will always wonder what happened, why your little heart stopped and why you couldn't live with us on earth. Why after everything you were just gone. We will always remember you! Our lives will never be the same without you but I am so glad we had you, if even for a moment. I pray you are playing in dirt and combining corn in heaven as you would on earth. Watch over us sweet boy. Give your twin a hug for us. We love him/her so much also. I am sure Baby White welcomed you with open arms when you arrived in Heaven. Please be with us this month as we celebrate Christmas with you here.

Love you so much babies!
Mamma
