When Nature's Not Enough - Diana Olick
This is a novel that is great for anyone who is considering or going through IVF. It's about the lives of 6 different couples with infertility and their experiences with IVF. It was a very stimulating and educating book. I read it in 2 days!
So Close - Tertia Albertyn
I am in the middle of reading this book. So far, so good. It is about one couple who goes through infertility for many years and many IVF's. It is unbelieveable how much crap she had to go through! It has some good humor too! p>
Fertility Facts - Jennifer L. Howse
This is the book that my sister got for me. It's not really a 'read from cover to cover' kind of book, but definitely good to flip through for ideas and wisdoms.
The Empty Picture Frame - Jenna Currier Nadeau
I started reading this book along with the other book "so close" This book kept my interest a little bit more. Beware: It was very sad...I cried a lot. I would totally recommend this book to anyone going through infertility or knows someone going through infertility. It also has entries that her husband wrote so it may even be a good book for a man to read too.
AWw, she is so cute. Her eyes are wide open!!
ReplyDeleteYou look great btw!!
She is just precious!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the hat!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been MIA lately also and I'm so sad I missed the birth of your baby! Well, the POSTS from the birth of her lol! Congrats a million times, she is absolutely GORGEOUS like her mother! :) Very beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteYour experience was almost literally EXACTLY like mine. They had to use the suction on Mason which didn't work and then had to use the forceps. Bless his heart he came out with big red mark on his head from all the instruments they had to use! I also had to get stitches down there when I was finished and it was horrible for weeks after that. It burned so bad. This is too much info but it burned so bad I had to pee in the bath because i couldnt take the pain from peeing on the toilet. Anyways, that was the worst part of the birth for me- the tear and stitches.
The emotional rollercoaster ride will stop in a few weeks, they probably haven't gone away yet for you but they have probably gotten better since the first few nights. I cried over anything and everything the first few weeks. My point in telling you all of this is that I've been there and done that, and I PROMISE it gets better! So hang in there, it's really tough at first but when you get through it it's so worth it! Take care! If you ever need any advice email me morgankev04@aol.com
She is just too cute! Even my DH said so when he looked over my shoulder. (he is usually more of an "eh" over other peoples' kids)
