SWEET MEMORY LANE

By

What a special day! Yesterday, I got to spend the whole afternoon with one of my very best friends. My sister and I have always had a special bond. Growing up, we argued and fought just like most siblings, but we were still so close. I was worried that bond would fade away once we both became adults. I've seen it happen so often, even within my own family. But honestly, we've become even closer in our later years. I know I have a forever friend I can always count on in Jill.

Jumping on a trampoline doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would flood your mind with memories, but that is exactly what it did. We reminisced on the good times we had in our backyard 10+ years ago on Sundown Pass. We played so many crazy, made-up games (Dead Man, Races, Crack the Egg) on that trampoline. It's a wonder we didn't fall off and break our necks. We laughed and talked about how big the trampoline used to feel to us and how we're like giants now. 


The swing set behind Mema's house is so old, but that didn't stop us from playing on it as well. It's creaky and worn down, and I'm quite sure it wasn't meant to hold 200+ pounds. We talked about the times we've shared at that house, in that yard. Mema even came out and joined us!

These are the times when unbreakable bonds are formed. The times that you don't even realize you're making memories. My heart is full, and I am grateful for my sweet sister and friend.

FET and PIO

 Our last update was not the one we wanted to give.  There have been many encouraging developments since then, and we wanted to update you all so you can help us pray.  The IVF nurse, Dawn, called a few days after the embryo update to tell us we could do a frozen embryo transfer (FET) at the end of July. She called later to tell us we would be able to transfer a week before we had been told. We will be transferring one of our embryos around 1:20 PM on July 19th. The hope is that this little embryo will begin to implant into the uterine lining and grow into a successful pregnancy. Many couples who undergo fertility treatments like IVF or IUI choose to adopt a purposefully positive state of mind until the first pregnancy test, so I will be pregnant until proven otherwise (PUPO). After nine days of trying to distract myself, I will go in for a blood test to check for the pregnancy hormone hCG. Higher than normal levels of hCG will confirm that the FET was successful and that I am pregnant

FINAL EMBRYO COUNT

By
Hello everyone. Ben here. We wanted to give you an update about our IVF journey.  Let's back up a bit... After Monday's retrieval, our doctor called Shelby on Tuesday to tell us that 13 of the 20 eggs fertilized. We were overjoyed! I was in Nashville for the Southern Baptist Convention. Shelby's voice was so full of hope when she called me!  We waited all week on our next update. Yesterday our doctor called during the rain/power outage. In the weirdest turn of events yet, I was taking a shower in the rain because our water ran out. That's living on a well for you. Shelby's face said it all- what a strange way to hear this news! Our doctor told us that 6 of the 13 did not make it. Of the 7 remaining, one looked great and the other 6 were still developing. She promised us that she'd call back today with more information. She called about an hour ago as I write this.  We have two embryos in the freezer. One is graded "fair" and one is graded "poor.&q

RETRIEVAL DAY

 Today was egg retrieval day! Before I give all the details, let me backtrack to our last two appointments.  Friday, June 11 We have been married for 5 years, and what better way to celebrate than trying to make a baby! Just getting started with the IVF humor over here, people. We had an 8:40 appointment that morning that went very well. The nurse counted 21 follicles that were mature or would be by Monday. We left feeling very encouraged by that! After that, we went to what is becoming a new favorite breakfast place, Maple Street Biscuit Company. If you know Ben you know he loves a good breakfast bread, particularly biscuits. I am also a fan of their chicken. 10/10 would recommend! The nurse called later that afternoon to review lab results and to schedule our last monitoring appointment for the following day.  Saturday, June 12 Our appointment was one of the first on the schedule, so we had to be there at 7:15 AM. With an hour and a half drive, that had us leaving by 5:30 AM... How
