I struggled for over a year to get pregnant and then decided to seek help. We tried 6 months of clomid, intrauterine insemination (2 times) and finally IVF. We were blessed with our little miracle in January 2007 after our first round with IVF. We are so happy and he is truly a gift from God. Our story is below...check back frequently as I am constantly adding more posts & pictures.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03938867802469168990noreply@blogger.comBlogger370125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219104250659776105.post-44842486791331682902011-01-30T19:34:00.001-05:002011-01-30T19:34:21.803-05:00So Much Happening & Turning FOUR!<p align="justify"><font size="5" face="Boopee">Things have been crazy around here.  I went back to work on November 29, 2010 and truly enjoy my job.  I sure do miss being home with Cameron, but it was something that needed to be done.  It was a great opportunity and I couldn’t quite turn it down.  I work with a great group of people, we have fun throughout the day and I love working with the patients.  I work for a cardiologist office at a local hospital and trust me… it is rewarding.  Not as rewarding as being a Mommy, but it does just fine for a new job.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="5" face="Boopee"></font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="5" face="Boopee">Cameron is doing great in pre-school.  He goes 3 days out of the week and then attends daycare at the same school.  The teachers are a true blessing and I know that he receives some great care.  It is hard putting your trust in someone else when he has only had the care of Mommy and a few other family members.  It was a hard decision that didn’t come easily, but after going in several times and speaking with most of the teachers, my heart and mind was put at ease.  Of course the anxiety of leaving him was still there.  The discomfort in my chest was clear proof of that.  Yep, you heard me right.  I went to the ER not too long ago due to chest pain and discomfort.  Everything checked out ok which was a huge relief, but the diagnosis was ANXIETY.  So, I was put on some anxiety meds and things have since then really calmed down.  I very rarely need my meds now which is nice, but to be honest… I think that I am just getting use to working and I now know for certain that Cameron is happy and content where he is.  What a huge relief!!</font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="5" face="Boopee"></font></p> <p align="justify"><font size="5" face="Boopee">Cameron is now 4 years old.  I really can’t believe that he is FOUR, but I do know for a fact that he brings such great joy and happiness to my life.  He makes me smile every single day, the sound of his laughter fills my heart with such great joy and the love that I feel for him overwhelms my heart.  He really truly is such a blessing to me.  God is truly AWESOME!!!!  Here are a few pictures that were taken at his birthday party.</font></p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_oqtwmiY2zz0/TUYDJVoPU4I/AAAAAAAAHjk/dfCtxLrrUM0/s1600-h/010%5B9%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

Cameron will kick the ball and then Qbert takes over and pushes it all over the back yard with his nose while barking at it.  It is really funny and too cute!!  Qbert also likes to follow Cameron up the slide and that in itself is really cute!  Anyway, here are some pictures of the ever so funny and cute Qbert.</font></p> <p align="justify"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_oqtwmiY2zz0/S70l3IgLQPI/AAAAAAAAGGM/KgrWO0TwcbU/s1600-h/023%5B2%5D.jpg"><font color="#333333" face="Boopee"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

If you lost a child then you probably know about today being <a href="http://www.october15th.com/">Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day</a>!! I remember Feb 25, 2004 like it was yesterday. A very hard day that I sometimes wish I could just forget, but then I think that if I forget about it then I would forget the picture of our sweet baby who was growing in my right fallopian tube. It was so strange to see my doctor keep swirling around that right tube during the ultrasound, I knew that was our baby, but I knew the picture that I was seeing on the monitor looked totally different from what it should look like. Well, after I had my ultrasound on the 22nd followed up by bloodwork and awful cramping and bleeding on the morning of the 25th, I was rushed in for emergency surgery. It was a whirlwind of emotions and uncontrollable crying. I literally don't think I stopped crying until I was fast asleep and going through my surgery. Little did I know that I was 3 months along. It was hard to grasp and so hard to go on, but I made it through.<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I dealt with years of infertility after our loss and finally in January 2007, we were blessed with a little boy by the name of Cameron. God has richly blessed us and I couldn't be happier to have such a special little boy to share our lives with. He is a miracle and I must say that I am so happy that IVF worked for us! I don't really know why things happen, but after doing some major soul searching, I have come to realize that things happen for a reason and we just need to trust in God. I was always the type of person to take the wheel and try to control certain things in my life, but as I was going through IVF, I realized that I just need to give it all to God and let him take the reigns and when I did that, things fell into place and we were blessed with wonderful news!! We were pregnant and after so many years, we were so ready to hear that news!<br /></div><div align="justify">So, today on this day, I will take a moment to light a candle at 7:00 pm in rememberance of our child that we lost and the many other men and women that lost their children as well. Can you picture what Heaven looks like with all of those precious children dancing around? Wow, I bet that is a beautiful sight!!</div><div align="justify"></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdGlqD5JHLpD5rEQUzrVF2tUy-Vcv_fc7LPIYoxI9we0IzVyt5PjL4zIMFLKJs4pK7JfQudt0KqncO3aAvWSnaklghuMnLUDFmghQvCeiBnmgM642x8SfL9iP4oRGnv1rNS8DsJ2yUHGi7/s1600-h/candlexani.gif"></a><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://media.photobucket.com/image/lit" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/tammy_61/candle.gif" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none;

He is back to his good old normal self and is also back to eating. His fever broke which I am so thankful for. A temperature of 104.7 is just too high and frightening for me. So, I am happy to see that smile back on his face. This picture was taken last night at dinner time. He enjoyed a huge portion of homemade mac & cheese and some of Daddy's famous pork chops. Nothing better then seeing that sweet smile.</div><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7m8QZT5s1hK50-A7F6rSqTyVsLPB5jh9Tqwk8Ka0JZJbqqOmxgIrUtUPRsKLS0yOkEz5WeCIL22SD4wwI5Am4NrkfutPdvG66hHx9ln_TbEL8qTwTg-H5J5L4difec7kkbwqA4xfvVIT/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363905662318035250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7m8QZT5s1hK50-A7F6rSqTyVsLPB5jh9Tqwk8Ka0JZJbqqOmxgIrUtUPRsKLS0yOkEz5WeCIL22SD4wwI5Am4NrkfutPdvG66hHx9ln_TbEL8qTwTg-H5J5L4difec7kkbwqA4xfvVIT/s320/014.JPG" /></a> I see this sweet smile of Cameron's and I can't help, but to think that MckMama would probably give anything to see sweet Stellan smile and to feel better. Oh how my heart aches for that little sweetheart. A precious and innocent child and he has to go through so much and it really makes my heart ache. I feel for her and the rest of the family. My heart goes out to them and all I can do is pray so that is what I will continue to do. Perhaps you all can join me as well.......if you haven't already.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtDPF5QgRizf9Be_WTUqF6_1A507u0tWGpsp7jtaQYfX56RfZPumvuz5zFXzNyWlZI7rFLwZTsgBH0jVOaIizfHlJsD0kDIclniXWar8du7m_1AWMtnbxEZ4HJ6OXqkNqH12Vz02YR5JXJ/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363905653300944226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtDPF5QgRizf9Be_WTUqF6_1A507u0tWGpsp7jtaQYfX56RfZPumvuz5zFXzNyWlZI7rFLwZTsgBH0jVOaIizfHlJsD0kDIclniXWar8du7m_1AWMtnbxEZ4HJ6OXqkNqH12Vz02YR5JXJ/s320/016.JPG" /></a> Shawn's cousin came to visit a couple days ago and brought Cameron a bag of goodies. He was so happy with everything, but he wanted to try out the bumblebee bubble blower last night. He kept pretending it was a whistle, but he loves it.

We always enjoy going through all of the animal barns and he enjoys it more and more as he gets older. I even took some pictures for him and of course to share with you. We went through the duck barn and of course as we were trampling through the isles, all he could say was "Quack Quack Quack". It was so cute!! That is what he is doing in this picture.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8R9jo4aZ0Mm_taOIbNx0T9kjYo5OESb7kmTBYM2nifT3QA9E2SXcUD66498ADvDIXUgShJtLwZeJgl1zjV4MUTRyXSIuX6ja8YHxtFH_j7J5ZsrY9dyFs_mwjbfIKS6pv1HN_0uMwmF_H/s1600-h/001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363904513400204322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8R9jo4aZ0Mm_taOIbNx0T9kjYo5OESb7kmTBYM2nifT3QA9E2SXcUD66498ADvDIXUgShJtLwZeJgl1zjV4MUTRyXSIuX6ja8YHxtFH_j7J5ZsrY9dyFs_mwjbfIKS6pv1HN_0uMwmF_H/s320/001.JPG" /></a> After the ducks, we made our way to the cows. He of course had to start singing Old McDonald and well his rendition is hilarious. If I can get it on video then I will be sure to post it. He knows all the words and continues to amaze me as to how smart he is and continues to be. He loved the cows!!<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsaEbQT9rnlpfYcuzP8WTSWEMNiRIRbiXSXabIaVMYoC1ColpWarYtW1UZTPDiLzAjcVtiCTTMMZcR69f2H6xAdwbpDeZo4xNn-RnbhZt9cz2kNy22GdaW_ItCKAfOdMyoeJCbgnxfWevp/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 294px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363904511197910610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsaEbQT9rnlpfYcuzP8WTSWEMNiRIRbiXSXabIaVMYoC1ColpWarYtW1UZTPDiLzAjcVtiCTTMMZcR69f2H6xAdwbpDeZo4xNn-RnbhZt9cz2kNy22GdaW_ItCKAfOdMyoeJCbgnxfWevp/s320/006.JPG" /></a> We also looked at rabbits........<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7QjHqgT9MDd-B4-YYIEhNs68LiEem9LMwxOCbyw1Kgn3inXKvHRvcueLnqAwbftdgAUvO2FqdxzGQU8PJIkkkN0VZzC-ZMWH47aunE9OnIiO_Jyk-f7QlIcjQHMkRYxEKtG9CSgmDs6Z/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363904500632377698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH7QjHqgT9MDd-B4-YYIEhNs68LiEem9LMwxOCbyw1Kgn3inXKvHRvcueLnqAwbftdgAUvO2FqdxzGQU8PJIkkkN0VZzC-ZMWH47aunE9OnIiO_Jyk-f7QlIcjQHMkRYxEKtG9CSgmDs6Z/s320/007.JPG" /></a> Chickens........<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoxSv4QauVPllaVv46xT31k3UrDMDtwTIppfdMxRV5jnJdJ9wkkO3WbG-x5MIiffO9ztJbr15baTvWHJOMHMCtCdNk-KBNIqV0BZPXUr0gQk7EXCGkXt5tdeKL1RPoKnU8MDozpxqZfPnn/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363904491343633602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoxSv4QauVPllaVv46xT31k3UrDMDtwTIppfdMxRV5jnJdJ9wkkO3WbG-x5MIiffO9ztJbr15baTvWHJOMHMCtCdNk-KBNIqV0BZPXUr0gQk7EXCGkXt5tdeKL1RPoKnU8MDozpxqZfPnn/s320/008.JPG" /></a>More rabbits........<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr6AYj4UB6rrgMc9bLHGI3US9Oi_SQfr1gd7QQRJmKt2W1_3E-nyOToayVjyzhQEg659LxgBAt0CkyzdAMFOJ2BMRTVOQMqjnFANOsqjQeXBkK-l1WdOcj10G_4Dc9U0RRQeTgtwCpeIg6/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363904489466530546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr6AYj4UB6rrgMc9bLHGI3US9Oi_SQfr1gd7QQRJmKt2W1_3E-nyOToayVjyzhQEg659LxgBAt0CkyzdAMFOJ2BMRTVOQMqjnFANOsqjQeXBkK-l1WdOcj10G_4Dc9U0RRQeTgtwCpeIg6/s320/009.JPG" /></a>and then we headed to the area that had all the food.</div><div align="justify">Shawn ended up getting a pork chop which was really tasty, Cameron wanted french fries and I ended up getting THE BEST FRIED MUSHROOMS around!! We also bought a lemonade shake-up and some sugar waffles to take home. It was all so tasty and I am sure all so bad for you as well. I guess that is probably why they only have the fair once a year (lol).
