Lynn's Lines - more news....

Some have asked for more news on Tricia's most recent post which announced that we were/are pregnant. Here's the time line of events (sorry I'm a genealogist, this is how we think - in time lines that is):
  • June 10th two embryos were implanted into Tricia's uterus. This was a frozen embyro transfer - our second try via invitro
  • June 24th Tricia took a blood test to determine if she was pregnant - she was...
  • July 2nd we left for Hawaii (as it turns out to celebrate)
  • July 7th (still in Hawaii) we rushed to the ER to rule out an ectopic pregnancy - turned out to be our first ultra-sound...one bun in the oven confirmed - no ectopic pregnancy. It should also be noted here that Tricia's morning sickness really kicked in while in Hawaii - you may have noticed the daily updates ending after about 3-4 days.
  • July 13th - our first scheduled ultra-sound...still one bun in the oven. Tricia really sensitive to smells.
  • July 16th - Lynn plays golf in Park City - golf is always worth mentioning...
  • July 23rd - Tricia has severe chest pains on her left side. We made our way to the ER again, this time in American Fork, only to find out that she had multiple blood clots in both of her lungs.
  • July 29th - met with our O.B. for the first time...9 weeks 5 days pregnant. Dr. Anderson comments that the fast heartbeat is consistent with a girl...we can only hope.
  • Aug 5th - first appointment with a specialist to manage Tricia's blood thinner medication...good news - it's not as expensive as we originally thought it was going to be.
  • Aug 10th - Tricia still really sick with morning sickness and blood clots. She isn't in any pain, just difficult to take deep breaths. She doesn't like talking to many people, because she gets really tired really fast. We are now 11 weeks 3 days pregnant.
We are extremely grateful for all the prayers, thoughts, and help that has been extended in our behalf. We are unbelievably happy that we have made it this far, but know we still have a long way to go. Our hearts continue to go out to those that also struggle with infertility, and will always hope and pray for you.

I'm still trying to figure out what the golfing in Park City has to do with the overall timeline.....

Glad things have stabilized, for now. Let me know if I can do anything else for you guys.
