Happy Birthday Terrell

So Terrell turned 42 this weekend and I did this layout to tell her how we were thinking of her. She certainly doesn't look 42. Happy Birthday Sweetie.


Okay so onto the IVF, for those interested in how we went. Well to start with we thought we had 9 eggs collected and then when I spoke to the Lab they said they got 10, good good!! Then she said they were able to inject 7 of those 10, even better. But the next morning when I heard from her she said that only one of them had fertilised so we only have one to put in today. But you know what they say, "IT ONLY TAKES ONE TO GET PREGNANT" So still crossing everything.


We were dissapointed because we thought this time we would finally get some to freeze hence saving the high dose injections for the next cycle but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. I have had a worse time of it as far as being sore in the belly after the operation and am hoping that will leave me alone soon.


Michael only has 2 night shifts left and then he is on holidays for 3 weeks so we will be spending a lot of time together and trying to keep him occupied, he does get very bored on holidays, he's such a workaholic LOL.


Okay well gotta go and wake him up so we can go have our embryo put in. Maybe I'll take the camera and take a photo of the fertilised egg on the screen before they do the procedure. Watch this space LoL
Okay update time, here are the two pics we took of the screen before they did the transfer. It is at the 6 cell stage according to the embryologist. Looks like more to me but she's the scientist so not gonna argue the point.
Crossing everything that this one sticks. We'll know by the 18th August.

Have a great sunday all!

IVF and a freebie

Well I've been kept on my toes with IVF this last few weeks and we are going in on friday 1st August for Egg retrieval and if we get the eight that we think I have hopefully we will have two to put in on the Monday. So I have to have my trigger injection on Wednesday night and then no more needles till after the operation. So cross your fingers and maybe we'll have some good news by the 18th August. A nice birthday present for Michael even if it would be a week late.
Okay so onto the freebie I made for you today. Just a little one, a tage I whipped up.Here's the preview and the link.

Have a great week all, be back in a few days or so.

Thursday already!!



Well I was working away on a kit and while working out colours I made a few extras so I thought some of you might be able to make use of these, please don't share the links and a comment would be great!! Only got one comment on the last freebie :( So here's a preview for you and if you click on the link below it will take you to the file download.

Okay so If you haven't heard Terrell is having problems with internet access. The coffee shop she usually frequents to upload her kits and do her blogging has closed down suddenly and so she is having to find other places that will allow the amounts she needs for uploading, which aren't small amounts LOL.
So we are counting down the days till Michael's Birthday and his 3 weeks of holidays start. Don't think we will be going away anywhere after our recent rush trip to Tassie and we are going to be waiting out the two weeks to see if we are pregnant during the first few weeks anyway LOL. So we are thinking of moving, the rent has been going up by rediculous amounts over the last year and we think if we are going to be paying that much we deserve something better than what we have here. So the hunt is on. I'd like a 3 bedroom place but would settle for 2 bedrooms if it were more modern than what we have now, you know somewhere with room in the kitchen for the fridge and less likelyhood of things like mould and mildew which we have suffered with a bit here. We still have to get a place with a backyard for Shona so Apartments are out. Anyway I'll have anonther look online later today.
I am suffering today too cause I just couldn't sleep and had a tummy ache and so have been up since 2am and will probably have to nap on and off through the day to recharge. Okay gotta go, My dog is wanting some attention LOL.
Have a great weekend all!!
