Success after IF

*****million$$baby*****

I don't even know what to think.  I am thrilled and so thankful that we had any stick, but I am scared to death to think about the possibility of carrying and raising three at once.  Any good advice?  I am trying to relax until next week until we see how many heartbeats there are, but it is so hard not to think about.

  • I know exactly how you feel. At my first ultrasound, my RE thought he saw FOUR sacs! The next week showed "only" three heartbeats, but it was still a shock. It took me a few weeks to really get used to it. I'd go from being incredibly happy to freaking out - "How can we afford them?" "How can I carry 3 at once?" "Where will we put them??" But eventually I did get used to the idea and now I'm just incredibly happy and excited. It gets easier (well in that respect, anyway). You start to realize that you CAN do it and you start to figure out how you're going to. DH and I are very lucky to have a ton of family nearby who are all excited and eager to help when the time comes, so that eases my mind a lot. We won't be alone. I know it is NOT going to be easy, but I feel like this is what was meant to happen for us so I figure - bring it on!

  • Thanks so much -- I can't imagine how I would feel right now if they saw 4.  Luckily we have lots of family that can lend a hand so that does make me feel a little better about it.

    I really think the family help will be the key! My mom is saving her vacation time so that when DH goes back to work she can take time off and stay with me. MIL is doing the same. Plus my Nana is still very spry and plans to come help me out some days as well. And we have siblings and aunts and cousins. Knowing this is what keeps me sane ;)
