Good morning ladies! Glad to see some Bfps lately!! Also, lots of hugs for all the tough stuff going on too, I've been lurking but don't want to post if it would cause anyone more difficulty. Hugs!!
Sorry I didn't update last week, there hasn't really been much going on though. With these long waits between appointments, it can feel like lots of waiting.
I'm 14w5d today! Happy that I'm in second tri officially! I've been slowly buying some maternity clothes on sale; I know it's going to be more of an expense then originally thought.
Well; I finally got the courage to tell more family (aunts and uncles) and work! Yay! I feel much better actually; happier about everything. I'm still waiting until my next appointment next week to tell more friends and my students though.
That's about all for now; I'm excited it's almost thanksgiving time and I hope to start my Christmas shopping soon so I don't wait until the last minute like usual ">
QOTW: no big plans; we usually stay in. My H watches a scary movie (I don't like scary stuff) and I hand out candy. Then we eat the leftovers and watch a non-scary movie!

Me: 26 DH: 27
TTC #1 Since Aug. 2013
Cycle 1: O CD 25=bfn
Cycle 2: O CD 48=bfn
Cycle 3: Anovulatory/Provera =120 days!
Cycle 4: Anovulatory/Prometrium=127 days! RE consult 6/16
I am so glad to see some bfp's around here! Sending lots of sticky vibes and hoping you ladies have a h&h 9 months. Also sending lots of hugs to those of you who are struggling of who have had a rough time. I don't want to tag anyone in the grad thread so as not cause any more grief, but I have been stalking and keeping you ladies in my T&P.
AFM -- things are progressing well. We are officially ONE MONTH from our due date! I cannot believe how close we are getting. The goal for this weekend is to pack the hospital bag and put the car seats in the car.
We were officially released from the MFM at our growth scan last week since everything looks perfect and the MFM has deemed us to no longer be high risk. Baby girl is measuring right on track for a November 29 due date and was already weighing 5lbs4oz. She is measuring in the 46th percentile -- so not too big but not too small. We didn't get a great picture because she kept putting her hands over her face and being shy, but I have included the best one we got. (oh and the is already head down and in perfect position for delivery -- yay!)
QOTW: We always dress the pups up and greet the trick or treaters. This year they are going to be a monkey and a lion. I love Halloween!
Doing pretty well at almost 26wks. Im still a little nervous about the pregnancy and havent been able to bring myself to buy baby stuff yet, but at least Im very comfortable discussing the pregnancy outside of TB now.
I have my fingers crossed always for you ladies, and cant wait to see you over on SAIF

Hi ladies! So sorry I haven't update lately! So much has happened!
last Wednesday I was admitted to the hospital at 37w5d due to preeclampsia. We started the induction process Wednesday when I checked into labor & delivery, however after 57 hours of labor with no cervical changes (stayed at 1cm 50% effaced the entre time) Baby M (we were team green) decided they had had enough and we had to have an emergency c-section.
Soooooooo at 38w exactly, Friday, October 24th, at 9:25pm, Emma Grace was born weighing in at 6lbs 5oz and was 18 3/4in long. Emma is going amazing and we're slowly getting the hang of breastfeeding!
Recovery for me has been extremely difficult but my husband has been a rockstar helping. I truly don't know what I'd do without him!
Omg omg @tippytoes06 - you have an outside baby! She is beautiful, congrats!!! I hope your recovery speeds up.
Hi all! Big squishy hugs to all my 3T girls, warriors and grads alike!
All well here. 29w2d, and we are on a trip visiting my ILs for the weekend. It's my last flight before my travel restriction kicks in, and I am more than ready - the pressure from flying is quite uncomfortable!!! Thankfully DH was with me to rub my feet and lower back and carry shit.
Sunday is my baby shower hosted by my MIL. It should be fun, though likely I will be the only sober one in that crowd!
QOTW: We are going trick or treating with my 3 year old niece and 1 year old nephew, and we are SO excited about it!
Had a bit of a freakout today - went in for a sweep this morning and Dr. couldn't feel her head so he sent me in for an ultrasound this afternoon to check and make sure she wasn't back to breech again - if she was then we would have been having her tomorrow! But thankfully she's in the right position, just not engaged yet so the waiting game is still on.
QOTW: I will spend Halloween trying to figure out how to get my butt up every time a trick or treater shows up since hubby has to work
