Better luck next time :(

Sad to say we didn't get good news today. The pregnancy test was negative so we're not sure what the next steps are. Of course, we're trying to stay positive for the possibility of another round but it's still too soon to think about it.

We'll keep you updated in the upcoming weeks...

Tomorrow is the day

Well we've made it through 10 days and are ready for our first blood test tomorrow. If we get a positive test, there are still more tests to confirm that everything is going according to plan but we need to pass this hurdle first. So as nervous as I am, it's time to get some rest so I can get up bright and early and head to REACH before Alex is ready to start the day.

Wish us luck!

Day 4

Well we made it through bed-rest! It was definitely challenging with Alex here but Steve and Caroline did a great job. It's not easy taking care of both of us!! Haha!

Steve's headed out of town tonight and mom is coming tomorrow to help out, give me shots, and just keep us company. This time around seems even longer than the first time ... I can't believe it's only been 4 days. I go in on the 10th for my first blood test so need to try to be patient. Until then, we'll stay busy with lots of fun Easter activities!

I thought I share a picture of our embryo...doesn't it look adorable ;)
