pam & mike

just wanted to let you know pam and i got the news we've been waiting for...POSITIVE!! we are expecting a baby. the doctor actually called me at work today and said he wanted me to tell her first instead of hearing the news from a nurse at the clinic. so i immediately drove 20 minutes to her work ...

I'll be sure to check the boards from time to time and will keep you all in the loop of our process, because it ...

This past Thursday, 5/12, we had 14 eggs retrieved. Friday morning came with good news from the IVF Center. 12 of the eggs fertilized, and 7 of them turned into embryos ...
