When we finally decided that we would try to have a baby together, we learned the hard way that it was not going to be easy. Without initially seeking medical advice, we blindly attempted getting pregnant naturally for more than 2 years. Growing increasingly frustrated, we both made appointments to visit our doctors. Elisa was the first, getting just about every test possible & she came back ok. I was next… it was found that I was the problem, though we’re unsure why. In late 2007 we went to visit a fertility specialist that offered us the option of Artificial Insemination or In Vitro. Shortly after the new year and after much discussion we contacted our doctor. She offered us a discount on their in vitro procedure, which ended up saving us around $5,000-8,000.
We began the process in January 08 & by March we were finally pregnant. We were so relieved that our 3 year effort finally returned a result.

The journey since has been amazing. We can’t think of anything in our lives that has been more exciting. To our family and friends, we have set up this website for our new family so that you can all share in our happiness, no matter how far away you are.
We thank you for visiting and hope you check back often to see our new pictures, videos, and other exciting details of our daughters life.
In 2009 we will be launching “littlebundle.org” which will be a non-profit to benefit families that want kids but can’t have them due to fertility issues.
