I would be delighted to send you this updated picture of Jerusha for your baby gallery. Feel free to use any of the pictures that I have sent you. She is almost seven months already and she is such a wonderful gift of life.

 

Our past Christmas with her was the best Christmas we have ever had. She enjoyed looking at all the beautiful lights and listening to the Christmas carols. She is surrounded by so much love and I think she knows it. Every moment with her is so very special and you wouldn't believe the amount of pictures I have taken. She loves to be by herself playing on the floor with her toys. She has been sleeping through the night since she was six weeks old. It is so precious to go in her room every morning, turn on her bight light and no matter what, whenever she sees us, she smiles. It truly is the best feeling ever since we have become parents.

 

Lots of first time parents go through the long nights of staying up, crying babes, and all those other common baby steps as they grow and struggle through it. For us it has been totally different. To hear her talk and make funny noises at five months old was hysterical. We are constantly smiling when we see her and are a better couple because of her. She has finally completed the family we always dreamed of. Dan and I can not thank you enough for the wonderful gift that you have given us. To this day I still think we would not have had Jerusha if it wasn't for you and your wonderful staff. It saddens me to even think of my life without her. She is one amazing miracle.

 

She has four teeth already and enjoys biting on mommy's fingers all the time. She sits up on her own, and reaches for almost anything she can get her hands on. She loves eating cereal, but it is a challenge right now for her father and I to teach her to stop talking while she eats. It's the funniest thing. It's like she is trying to tell you that what you are feeding her is really good because she is so vocal when she eats. Not to mention expressive with her hands at the same time. I could talk all day about her little coos and smiles. The stories and moments are great and I look forward to each and every new development.

 

Thank you so much and one of these days when we are not busy, we will bring her down to see everyone.

 

Rachael and Paul

I just wanted to send a long-overdue letter of gratitude.  My husband Paul and I were referred to Albany IVF in September of 2007 after having a pretty bad experience through another local facility.  We were basically pretty down and felt like our chances were slim.  We are blessed to have a 3 year old (also from fertility treatments) and desperately wanted another child.  After our initial consult with Dr. Horvath, we left feeling a renewed sense of hope.  Dr. Horvath is not only kind and sensitive, but brilliant.  My husband, who is a scientist, really appreciated the way Dr. Horvath took the time to explain things and gave us all our options.  My husband is not really one to have an opinion of someone 1 way or the other, he sort of goes with the flow, but I remember when we left the consult he commented on how much he liked and respected Dr. Horvath and what a good feeling he had just from that initial consult.  Dr. Horvath spoke to us in such a way that made us feel like not only were we extremely important as patients, but also like we actually knew what we were dealing with and knew what we were doing.  At the other facility we often felt like any concerns we had were sort of brushed aside, as if they were normal and not warrant for further testing or discussion.  Dr. Horvath did the tests that ultimately gave us our answers and resulted in the child I am now 14 weeks pregnant with.  We conceived on our 2nd Gonal-f/IUI cycle.  I also have to comment on the nurses, particularly Julia, Marla & also Gwen.  All were so helpful and supportive  Julia was my assigned nurse and she is wonderful.  She stuck with me through some difficult emotional times and I am so appreciative that I had her as a nurse.  And Shirley at the front desk always had a wide smile and a nice greeting whenever I went there.  The capital district is truly fortunate to have such a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable facility and such a brilliant reproductive endocrinologist.  We feel so blessed that we found you and I truly can t tell you how grateful we are for this beautiful baby that you blessed us with.  We know that had we not been fortunate enough to find you, this baby would not have happened.  Please accept our heartfelt gratitude and know that you make a difference in people s lives every single day, and most certainly in ours.  We thank you, and our 3 year old thanks you for the little brother or sister he will be fortunate enough to have as a sibling because of you.  We have referred at least 8 patients to you, and will continue to do so.
