Cheese Please

I read a post today on Arcane Matters that made me laugh. It prompted me to post an update on Shelly's cravings. Thanks Jennifer!
Shelly has always been a simple water drinker. No soda for her. She'll mix it up now and then with OJ, V8 or Wine, but that's about it. The first month of pregnancy she started craving Coke, as in Coca-Cola. My opinion was that no soda should be consumed because it's full of lots of "bad" stuff and no "good" stuff. Of course my opinion doesn't count when it's comes to cravings. She's the prego, not me. She instead decided she WAS GOING TO HAVE HER COKE! But, only ONE a day. For the first six months she stuck to it. There were days where she would have no coke but very rarely would she have more than one.

Now that we're headed into the third trimester her cravings have gotten wackier. For example, today it was cheese. Cheese bread, cheese cake, cheese soup, cheese and crackers, etc. Anything with cheese. So, being the loving wife that I am, and since I'm working from home today, for lunch I ran out to get her a Cheese Enchilada, Cheese Quesadilla, and Cheese and Beef Taco. Why so much you ask? She doesn't eat much at any one sitting but she does like variety. She's now got enough leftovers to enjoy this cheese craving for three more days. I hope the next craving turns out to be cookies or something I love!

I loved cheese too.
I know this sounds weird...but I LOVED salad....I couldn't get enough of it. I guess it could be worse.
Now that doesn't mean that I didn't snarf down candybars everyday :)

Just be glad that it's not Rum and coke. :)
Or maybe you could mix it up for you that way....you know, to show your support.

what about cheese fondue? Some stores sell it in pakages and I swear it tastes as good as if you make it from scratch! Fondue covers the cheese AND carbs angle! So so so good.

I love cheese too...esp. bleu cheese which I can't have now.

At least I have my dr. p's....

Our Conception Story

After eight years together we were pretty sure we'd spend our life with our four legged kids, doing lots of camping, and traveling the world. On August 12, 2004 that all changed with the birth of our God Daughter Tate. We immediately fell completely in love with her and soon began to re-think our decision of not having kids.

In October 2005 we began the process of trying to conceive. As soon as we started trying Shelly began having very erratic cycles which made the process that more complicated. After four tries over six months we decided to schedule a consultation with the a Reproductive Specialist. We were desperate to conceive and on a limited time frame since Shelly had just turned 41. Dee was 35 at the time but not able to conceive due to a medical procedure.

Our first appointment with the Repro Man was May 2006. He suggested we try IVF using Dee's eggs and Shelly as the gestational mother. He felt this scenario would give us the highest chance for success of a healthy pregnancy. We spent a short amount of time weighing our options and decided this was the best choice. We began our first IVF cycle in August. They did the Egg Retrieval and Fertilization on 8/31. Three days later, 9/3, they transferred three embryos into Shelly. Then the wait began.

Shelly promised not to begin the home pregnancy test too soon. Dee had to travel out of state for business a week after the transfer and asked Shelly to please wait to test. BUT, the wait was too much for her and she started testing after a week. At first there was no line. But after a couple of days testing a faint line started to appear. When Dee came home from her trip Shelly told her, "I know I'm pregnant." Dee didn't believe her and insisted the line wasn't dark enough so she tested herself to compare. There was absolutely no line. She began to believe Shelly was pregnant but still had doubt. Dee went to the store and bought another brand of testing strips. After five home tests, we were convinced we we're pregnant due to all positive results. A blood test at two weeks confirmed it; we were going to have a baby!
