First Step. Exciting.

Tomorrow is an important day for us.  We start our IVF treatment aka shots tomorrow.  At first I was scared and very nervous but now I am just excited.  It means we are one step closer to having a baby or babies.

I am so faithful it will all work out. I know it may seem a little naive but it's how I feel.

On another related note we were thinking of creating a page on one of those fundraiser pages.  We are not doing it with the purpose of just having extra money but just to pay off our loan.  We didn’t have any time to save for it and we scrambled to get the money from every angle we could.  So we thought maybe we could give it a shot.

Till next time.

Game room: Benches and Paint part 1

We are back it at and this time it's our game room. 

Our house has a loft style game room upstairs and since we moved in I haven't done much with it.  Now that we are planning for baby I want to make our upstairs some where we can enjoy (tv and game area) and baby can grow and learn.

I didn't want to add to much color on the walls so we opted for Pebble Grey from Gideon. Two of the walls will be painted grey but one of the will have tree stenciles which we went with matalic paint by Ralph Lauren (fancy).

PAINT:

Right now we just started painting one wall

BENCHES 

The one thing we have completed our side benches for storage and sitting.  We used shelves from IKEA turned them on their side and added some padding. I love the fabric.

  

So far this is all we have I love creating and knowing that it will be something we will be proud off. 

Till next time.

Baby Making with Science

So you know the story girl meets boy online, they meet the next day, get together in one week, engaged at 4 months, buy a house 2 months after  and married 8 months later. After a perfect wedding it's all about  decorating our home and start thinking about baby.  Orion and I are set on baby. We were never "safe" without relieving to much so I kept wondering " where is our baby?" After a routine visit to my Obgyn  and a call back I got the  news that has flipped my world upside down "your egg count is below average you might want to see a fertility specialist."

Since then (1 month) to be specific I found out I was born with a low count and at the age of 29 I have the egg count of a 40 year old but a womb of a 29 year old. I wish I could say I took it well but of course I felt defeated and as if I failed my husband. Of course I am the luckiest women I have the best husband ever and has been supportive every step of the way.

So what's next ...after a series of test we have decided on IVF. The money for the procedure is outrages I guess for us normal working people but not impossible. I can't thank my dad enough and one of my coworkers for helping us with the payment part. Insurance didn't cover us.

Don't worry we got the funds for what now sits in our refrigerator, a lot of medicine, I will be injecting in myself soon enough.

After all this I couldn't be more excited. The thought of having a child of our own makes me so happy and willing to endure anything.

So wish us luck.
