Frosty

Maryanne, Matty and I went to lunch today and then visited the new cupcake shop in downtown Campbell. I was a little disappointed they only had 4 flavors, but I decided to go with Tahitian Vanilla and Velvet Chocolate. OMG so yummy! I am thinking these are a good competition for Sprinkles, the cupcakes are different and they are good. They blow Kara's out of the water.
Stop by if you are in Campbell! You won't be sorry!

Happy Father's Day!

I told myself I would NOT complain, I will deal with the side effects and issues that come with all my IVF business. My baby is that important- and I want one THAT bad!

So this is NOT for your sympathy, becasue I WILL do what needs to be done, this a solely an outlet, and my therapy. (I NEED IT)

Let me tell you, I am in 5 days...ONLY 5 DAYS, and this shit is kicking my butt BIG time! So far I have a consistant headache that will not go away (Tylenol SUCKS and will not help), most of the day I have PMS like cramps in my lower abdomen, and I CRY at ANYTHING!

This morning, I started bawling, yes bawling, at all the Father's Day wishes on Facebook! They are so sweet and loving I just lost my mind. Poor Keith- he is at a loss, I told him I realize it is crazyness, but he just does not know what to do.

So, there it is me in all my glory. sigh.....

Let the Egg growing Commence

Today is it, there is no turning back...I took my first IVF shot! I am concentrating on making the biggest, healthiest, cutest eggs ever.

Our doctor appointment yesterday showed that I still have a "beautiful" uterus. (Sideways shaped rain drop = Beautiful) And Keith's swimmers are strong and manly. (That is, I'm sure, how he would want me to descibe them).
All the things you are not suppose to eat/drink while you are pregnant starts now...the scariest ones are:
No Caffine (BOOOOOOOOO)
No Good Drugs (Hope my back does not go out)

In addition, I am suppose to set my alarm for 1AM & 4AM in the morning so that I can get up and drink water. According to the doctor you can wake up with dealthy pains in your body if you do not remain hydrated all night. Hmmmmmm Do I risk it and sleep through the night?? Or is this some backward plan to get me use to not sleeping? Either way I hate it.

So we are one step closer to creating the perfect baby!
Because, of course, my baby will be perfect. ;>

Hawaii Professional Style

In yet another ploy to get you to leave money in Maui the Hotel offers a free sitting and 4x6 picture of you and your family. The Beier/Stewart photo shoot was a good time and we (Doug rather - still owe you) plunked down the cash for the CD of all the photos. We are such suckers...These are my favorites

More fun non-professionals to come...

Holy crocs

Owen got BRIGHT yellow crocs. (self portrait)
