Godiva,
This is truly a great thread full of God's miracles. Would be nice to also have pictures here. What do you think? Makes it even more real for those of us still on this journey.

I've been lurking regularly and trying to keep up. I agree that we need some pictures here so I'll get the ball rolling.

After years of IF and all of the hard choices that go into choosing IF, here is our wonderful little baby Emily Elaine. She became part of our family last year (2008) on Thanksgiving when we two 8 cell compacting embryos were transferred. Our baby was born on August 6, 2009 at 38w3d. She was 5lbs9oz and 18 inches long. My DH and I are thankful everyday for our donor and the people who helped to give her to us!

The first picture is from when Emily was 1 week old. The second picture is from when she was 1 month old.

1 week-small.jpgsleeping_1 month_small.jpg


Emily gave me her first smile at 7 weeks as I was getting her up in the morning. Everyday she grows and interacts more. At 2 months, she was 9lbs7oz/21inches. These pictures are from when she was 2 months old!

2mo_sleeping_small.jpghi_small.jpgsmile_small.jpg


bigsmile_small.jpg Soon you too will find out how difficult it is to hold a baby, encourage a smile, and take the picture! Emily is one of thousands that prove that DE IVF does work! We all wish you the best of luck in your journey!

Kirsty- She is so gorgeous! What a smile! Thanks for sharing.


I hope to get some pics up this weekend. I have to confess to not taking any recent pictures of the girls (bad mommy), but we have taken video. I am going to see if I can catch some stills from the video to post.

What a wonderful thread!!! I can't believe I haven't checked it out before...

Kirsten -- Emily is a heartbreaker! Thank you so much for sharing those photos with us.

Lauren -- Finally I get to see Ike!! He's absolutely adorable... And the funniest thing to me is that he looks exactly like the baby pictures of my husband! HA!

I can't believe these babies are all getting so big already. Now I'm sorta lookin' forward to posting about our little guy when he arrives.

Honestly, this truly is a thread about MIRACLES.
