Stacy is pregnant!

I helped get my friend pregnant! I guess I should probably explain this since some of you are going, "What the heck???"

Stacy is a co-worker and dear friend who has been trying, unsucessfully to get pregnant for a while now. Part of her "failure" (most of it really) was due to the fact that the docs we work for are NOT fertility specialists and have NO idea what they are doing. She decided to go with IVF (invitro fertilization). For those of who who don't know what that is, basically it is removal of her eggs and fertilizes them with hubby's sperm and implanting them back in. She went to a great place in Charleston, SC a couple of weeks ago and had two implanted. She had a positive pregnancy test yesterday morning which made my day!!!

Okay, so now you are saying, "What role did you play in this?" Well, I did her ultrasounds for the clinic in Charleston to see when she was "ready" for implantation. So, basically I had to be very accurate in my studies so it would work properly.

Stacy is actually the second person I helped get pregnant and it was such a great experience to be a part of. I am thinking about doing it for a clinic close to me on the weekends. I think it would be a great opportunity to help others like Stacy. We shall see.

An update on softball, both of my girls are playing rec ball this spring, so I still get to see some softball, YEAH!!
