We started trying to have children in May 2002. After pursuing fertility treatments, domestic, and international adoption, our daughter Nadia Renee was born on 6-24-08 (at 36w4d). IVF #2 resulted in Ian Alexander, who was born on 12-12-09 (at 34w3d). Oliver Elliot (IVF #3) was born on 8-7-12 (at 31w6d)! Three other pregnancies (in 2005, 2007, and 2013) ended in miscarriage. Our family is complete! We are so thankful for our three miracles!

Way to go, Ian!
Going to sleep is still traumatic for Ian because I have to put him down on his back. Thankfully it hasn't occured to him to roll over, lol. His naps are still pathetic, BUT he's doing great at sleeping at night! The last five mornings he's gotten up at 6:30 once, 7:30 twice, and 7:00 once. He went to bed between 7-8pm each night so he's sleeping between 11.25-11.75 hours!!!! Two of those nights he did wake up once and cry for awhile some time during the night. Unfortunately Nadia who used to get up around 6:30 has been getting up prior to 6am (usually around 5am). Today she got up at 5:45, which was the latest she's gotten up in several days. I'm hoping the trend continues toward later wake up times. It's so ironic that Nadia has slept through the night almost all the time for about 2 years and now that Ian is doing well she's waking up several times during the night and getting up earlier than usual. Last night was the first night in seven nights that both children were quiet between the hours of 8pm and 5:45am. I've gotten up at 2 and 3 am so many times lately that my body is now programmed to wake up at those hours. I haven't slept much past those hours even when the kids have slept. Hopefully my body will readjust to the concept of sleeping from 10pm-6am in the near future!
