    Good morning!  33w3d today.  Just realized it's less than 50 days left...eeek!

    Yesterday was a little rough and I was having really bad Braxton Hicks contractions.  I almost called the OB but decided to hold off until this morning.  I still feel tight but not in as much pain, so I guess I'll just take it easy today.  Maybe it's normal for them to get worse as the big day approaches, or maybe I just overdid it with cleaning yesterday.  Otherwise, not much else is new here.

    QOTW: I have had the occasional wine, but I REALLY miss a good beer.  Since I'm not against the 1 occasional drink rule, I would have some...but the carbonation would make my heartburn miserable.  I'll also be excited to have a dirty martini.

    Happy St Patty's Day! I am 30 weeks, 1 day. I had my glucose test this past Saturday (no results yet), and my regular Dr. appt yesterday. I am going every 2 weeks, so that's exciting. I have been feeling a ton of pressure and pains, but second pregnancy, so it's pretty common this early on. I am just so anxious and ready!!! I love seeing all the baby stuff in my house, and my 4 year old talks about his baby brother all the time. He always wants to hug my belly & he talks to him every day- it is so freaking cute!

    QOTW: I would love a delicious white russian right about now. I rarely drink, but that is my drink of choice when I do... (not while pregnant though)

    My History:
    Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
    Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
    Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
    Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
    Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
    About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!
    1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.

    Happy St. Patty's Day!

    29w2d here. I slept for all of 3 hours last night, so my body and brain and are not functioning well. I can't believe we are 6 1/2 weeks from our goal date!! I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed at what still needs to be done, but we'll make it work.

    QOTW- ohhhh so many choices! Either a good bottle of champagne/Chardonnay or a giant draft Pacifico from our fave Mexican restaurant.

    Today's appt went well, cervix, baby's heart beat, my heart rate & growth and weight is normal. 

    Looking forward to my baby shower on Sunday! (big bonus- My mother and sister are arriving from out of state. )

    *shiz is getting real in the nursery. Baby's room is being painted and wallpapered today-

    everything is good here, I ordered a wedge pillow to elevate my head while I sleep ....hoping that helps. def feel HUGE. I'm going to get a pregnancy belt this week, too. It feels like she might fall out onto the floor sometimes!

    My heart is as open as the sky.

    Hello!! 28w6d for me. I have a regular OB check up tomorrow. Baby boy has definitely been having the hiccups lately which has caused me some less sleep. We took a childbirth class and picked up the glider this past weekend so starting to get some things done. DH and my dad are installing crown moulding in the nursery this Sunday.

    QOTW: a big glass of Pinot Grigio or a budlight lime mango-rita. Ah sweet summertime!

    oh, and for the QOTW: 

    I really miss deli subs, random...did not see that coming.

    I asked my DH to bring me my fav sub to the hospital asap after delivery.

    My heart is as open as the sky.

    31w4d here! Feeling more and more tired, along with feeling bigger every day! Braxton hicks have started but it's only a few times a day and aren't too painful. We have our 3d ultrasound next week (along with our normal 2 week appt). I'm excited to see what she looks like! Baby shower #2 is Saturday and so are maternity pics- so much going on!

    I've missed deli sandwiches and sushi the most. Can't wait to have both :) and a nice cold beer!

    Hi ladies! I'm 34w, 4d. Time is really flying, it's totally freaking me out! I can't believe we are all getting so close...it seems only yesterday we were doing transfers, 2ww's, etc. We had a doc appt this week but just the usual check-up, so nothing new to report really. In two weeks at my 36w appt I am scheduled for GBS testing, which I'm glad I asked exactly what it involved because a 'surprise' rectum swab wouldn't be the greatest surprise to encounter ;)

    QOTW: definitely a nice glass of cab sauv for me!

    Me: 37 | DH: 41
    TTC Since 2011 DX: Unexplained 
    IUI's #1 - 3 = BFN
    IVF August 2014: FSH 4.1, PRL 15.3, TSH 2.1, W/ AFC 8.
     08/03 ER 5R, 4M, 3F. 08/08 5DT of 1-3AA0, 2 frozen :) bfp @9dp5dt. Beta on 08/20 = 414.
    So excited to have one little bean on the way!!
