My newest gem-born 7/17

[marriahlyn]

Ok ladies, here are some photos of our long awaited little boy. We did 4 IVF cycles to get him and it''s hard to believe he came from an embryo that we had cryopreserved (frozen) in the freezer.

I was induced 3 weeks early and he was born on July 17 @ 3:26PM weighing 6lb10oz and 19 inches long. We''re all doing great.

Sorry I haven''t kept up. We recently moved to our lake house and have no internet access there. I really miss posting!!

Thanks everyone, we are so proud of him and it took us a very long time to get him. I have immune problems and my body would "kill" off the embryos when they tried to implant. I had to do 2 shots of heparin (blood anticoagulant) before and during my entire pregnancy along with all the fertility drugs and steroids. It was well worth it although I was deathly ill the ENTIRE pregnancy......I was taking Zofran which is $15 a pill with insurance....could take up to 4 a day. I was told by my doc that I needed to wait 2 years for my immune system to rest before having another......we''ll go to our fertility specialist and see. DH is 36.....2 years is 38, figure a year of fertility treatments (we have 26 embryos in the freezer) then a year of cooking baby and he''ll be 40 and thinks that''s too late. Maybe it''s not in the cards for me to have another and I would do it but can''t imagine going thru a pregnancy like that again. Hence the reason I didn''t post much, I wasn''t able to be up much!! I feel very blessed to have a wonderful daughter and a son, but dh is an only child and was adopted so little Robert is his only blood relative he knows.

Kaleigh-I say thank God I didn''t have a C-section but thank God for epidurals! I had to be induced early because I was off blood thinners and after going into pre-term labor twice, I was in the hospital 4 days being induced and slept thru the highest dose of pitocin. They finally broke my water, started pitocin, gave the epidural and within an hour I was 8cm.......who knows when I was really complete because they let my contractions start pushing him out.......then after 5 hours of real labor and 6 pushes he was here. After all the trouble I had during the pregnancy, I wasn''t even sore in the nether regions after his birth. My only problem was swelled ankles from all the IV fluid I had.

Anyway, I will gladly post more pictures when I get on my other computer later in the day. I''m nursing so I''m going to get him weighed this AM. I think he''ll grow very quick because I have soooo much milk and he eats til he pukes. I will post later.

Congrats on having your gorgeous little boy. I''m sure he was worth all the pain and expense you went through to have him. If only all babies were as strongly desired as your little guy, the world would be a much better place for children. Post more pics when you get a chance!
