It was a year ago that mommy drove all the way down to the beach (45-60 minutes away!!) to see Dr. Flood. She had been going there since September of the previous year and so she thought it was going to be nothing new.
Every week mommy would go there for ultrasounds and blood work. You see, ovaries are suppose to look like chocolate chip cookies. The ovary itself is the cookie and the chocolate chips are the mature follicles that are getting ready for ovulation. Sadly, most of the time mommy only had one chocolate on the cookie- or none at all!
The Dr. gave mommy rounds of clomid (a drug to get more follicles to produce) and even then she didn't have many follicles :( Mommy would joke and say she only had sugar cookies!
Well, a year ago mommy saw something different. There was a tiny little chocolate chip on her left ovary. Little did she know, that little chocolate chip was going to grow for another week and become fertilized and turn into the most beautiful and precious little girl.
DOn't make me cry...
