A sesame seed


Wow, isnt amazing? Sibling baby is now as big as a sesame seed. By the way; I love sesame seeds :) I read this at the pregnancy site week by week, that Julie sent us when we expected Sanna. And suddenly we have Baby K there on the site too! Still a bit unbelievable I must admit. Overwhelmed by gratefulness of being here in week 5 with Sanna`s sibling. Thank you Julie!

We did it. Again!

Confirmed by Dawn @ CRM!
Today's beta was 110.
We are officially pregnant!!

Congratulations, Kleiven Family... the early wait is over, and the longer one begins today!

According to IVF calculators, Baby Kleiven's due date is March 21, 2011.

Won't Dr. E be surprised?!

Beta Day

Sitting in the waiting room of the RE's office is such an out-of-body experience for me, each and every time. Just watched a husband get called back and overheard, "we got 11". Simply amazing, this work they do to help others achieve parenthood.

Here for my first beta. Thinking, staying positive and praying for a good number today!!

Supersitious much?

Do you believe in superstition?   Generally, I don't.  However, out of the blue yesterday, the woman from Bella Angel Imaging emailed me to say:

Thinking about you the other day hope all is going well.  Have a great week, Brenda
Brenda is the owner/woman who did the "for fun" 3D/4D imaging for us when I was pregnant with Sanna.  She was adorable to work with and full of energy!  We hit it off right away and I will definitely visit her again this time.

Then, today on my way back to work from lunch, I saw a ladybug on the window.  This was not a Japanese Beetle, but a real, live ladybug.  I haven't seen one in ages.  Lady bugs bring good luck, yes?

I'm going with it.  All good signs of things to come.  Good signs indeed.

The dreaded 2 week wait.

It's upon us...  the anxious waiting for a BFP (big fat positive) to show on the stick.  Thankfully our two week wait isn't quite a full two weeks.  Our beta is scheduled for Monday, July 12th at 8:20 am.  The phone call should come that afternoon.  A repeat beta is scheduled for the morning of the 14th.  Team Norway is headed north to wait in a beautiful, far away land where the Island Sanna reaches to the heavens.  Tommy shared a picture with me this morning and it's a gorgeous place to find peace and calm anxious nerves.

I did some digging and found our photo of the pregnancy test from the last go 'round and Sanna's BFP arrived on 6dp5dt.  For timing sake, that would be this Friday at 8dp3dt.   Time will tell.

I will do my best to not go crazy in the next few days and join them in my dreaming of this far away land...  Sanna is the tallest island/peak on the right.  Simply breath-taking.

Celebration french fries for everyone!

Transfer

Got a call from the lab. One of the embryos is definitely holding the leader shirt, the other two seem to slow down. It means we are heading in to the clinic for a transfer today!! Wow, we assumed Saturday, but this will be fine too.
