ABC-123

Nothing here... again.  I think that we have decided to cycle in Nov-Dec (if that works with our clinic) and I am okay with that.  It will give me a little more time to lose weight and also to enjoy DS a little longer before worrying about IF again.  I can't wait to be PG again, but I think that I will miss everything being about DS as it is now...

QOTW: Worst - that was when DS was rushed to the hospital (twice) and diagnosed with bacterial meningitis (still not sure if he actually had it, but was treated for it).  It was horrible.  He was screaming for hours and hours, had IV after IV and a spinal tap.  I spent 10 days in the hospital with him; it was hard.  Thankfully he is totally fine.  The 2nd worst was seeing him when he was coming out of anesthesia after his hernia/undescended testicle surgery.

Best - Gosh, I can't pick out just one.  It seems like every new thing he does becomes my best moment.  Every giggle, every smile, everytime he says mom or gives me a hug/kiss.  At the time they are all my very best mom moments; that is until the next one comes along...  Honestly, just being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life; it is more than I could have ever hoped for.

Nothing new here.  I'm 5DPO.  Had some cramping, but it's too early for symptoms to over analyze.  I'm dealing with rib pain even though they got rid of my gallbladder a few months back, it feels the same.  Trying to get approval from my insurance company right now for a CATscan.  It's complete BS, but it's out of my control.  I tried to tell them, we are TTC and that next week (if we are lucky enough) may be too late.

QOTW

Worse moment: I left Ella in her boppy on a chair of all place and she fell over, I think she was more surprised than hurt and only cried for about 30 seconds, but it scared me.

Best moment:  I think every time Ella gives me kisses it's the best moment.  She's growing so fast...

Well, our 2nd IUI was a big bust.  I just started stimming for our 3rd and final IUI.  We found out that our insurance will only pay for 6 IUIs in a lifetime and this will be our 6th.  If it doesn't work, we'll be moving onto IVF.

Best:  wow, so many...the first time she was off oxygen/breathing support, the day she came home from the NICU, her birthday

Worst: probably the day she was born...we didn't know if she would make it and I was very depressed and scared to go see her.  She looked so fragile and the monitors were very scary and I couldn't really do anything for her and feel like a mommy.

This was my first cycle with Femara.  I think I'm probably 1DPO at this point.  I'm just trying to think positive at this point!

Greatest Mom Moment:  There are a lot.  It's always the best when I walk in after work and he gives me the biggest smile.  It's also great whenever I see him learn something new.

Worst Mom Moment:  Since he's started crawling/cruising, he's had a couple spills which I know will happen.  But, the worst was when he quickly sat down on the dog (I couldn't grab him in time) and the dog got up quick and kind of catapulted DS face first into the ground   I felt awful!  Luckily, DS was ok.

Some QOTW ideas (I'm not very creative, so I apologize in advance!):  1.  What has been your most embarassing moment with DC?  2.  Are you a SAH or working mom?  Are you happy with whatever you currently do?  3.  What has been your favorite/least favorite baby item?  4.  What baby item has been the biggest waste of money?  That's all I've got!

Still nothing new to report here. O well I'm not surprised one day we will be able to do IVF again.

QOTD:

worst moment-Luckily I don't have anything too bad. I guess when Izzy had a 104.5 temp. She had roseola I was telling my cousin about it and she told me that's what her brother had when he had his first seizure. My cousin, the one with the seizures has them on a reg basis, he has since he was 9 months old (he's 29). He is non verbal, look like a 16 year old and acts like a 3-4 year old. So to say I got worried was an underestatement. BTW- there does not seem to be any relation between the seizures and the roseola.

best moment- it's corny but everyday she does something awesome and makes me smile. I look at her in awww every single day. I wish I was pg again but at the same time I am loving my one on one time with my baby girl:)
