http://eheilman.com/babyBlog Eric and Rebekah Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:57:46 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Moms-to-be have this wonderful bonding experience available because they can actually feel their children growing inside them. They get to experience them moving around, causing breathing, stomach, bladder, etc. issues. (I didn't say they were all good experiences :) ). What about us dads-to-be? We get the short end of the ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=114 Well, I've slacked off again and not written a post in a while - but at least it was for good reason. WE'RE HAVING TWINS! Two weeks after our embryo transfer we found out that we were pregnant. Rebekah's HCG level as around 5,000 - anything over 10 signals pregnancy. At ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=112 Today was an amazing day! We transferred our Snowflakes and are now waiting to see if they "stick". So how did our day go? Here's the recap: Our transfer was scheduled for 9:00 AM, so we arrived at the hospital at 7:15 as per our instructions. We were expecting this procedure ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=108 First off - I sincerely apologize for not keeping this thin updated like I should. Unfortunately, right in the middle of everything going on in our Journey, work decided to drop a major project in my lap with a ridiculous timeline. I had been working a fair amount of overtime, ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=106 We received wonderful news yesterday - we have a week scheduled for our Snowflake transfer! The transfer is scheduled to occur sometime the week of May 3. I've been joking with Rebekah that this is going to be a perfect anniversary present (it will be 3 wonderful years on May ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=103 Well, it's certainly been a while since any status updates - but there was nothing to report at the time, so I didn't really see the need to post a "nothing is happening" entry. We now have a ship date for the embryos - April 12. As it turns out, I'm in ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=98 I had an odd thought this week as to becoming a father one of these days (sidenote:we're still in a holding pattern for the clinics to talk to one another to arrange shipment) - what kind of legacy will I leave to my children? Well, not a legacy per se, ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=95 It's been a while since an update - but that's only because I've been slacking off and not diligent on these updates. We've had lots going on lately! First - we've got embryos! I believe in my last update we were still waiting for the adoption agency to open back up ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=92 Just as both Rebekah and I were preparing ourselves for the possibility of our journey entering a long waiting stage during our matching, we get news we'd not expected! First, I'll recap what's happened in the last few weeks. We had to wait for our Home Study report to be completed ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=75 After hitting the ground running at full speed with our adoption prep work, the last few weeks have felt as if we're doing absolutely nothing. We were playing the waiting game - waiting for Rebekah's doctor to send the letter to Nightlight, waiting for our home study report to be ... http://eheilman.com/babyBlog/?p=72
