I made it early!
Good morning ladies! I think I have two minutes here!
One week ago today I went into labor. Everything is a blur, that's for sure. Brooklyn is perfect in every way (well, minus the crying. . . hehehehehe). It's very surreal to FINALLY be a mommy. I'm wishing and praying for lots of BFPs on here. I know it's hard, just hang in there girls. As all the grads have said, it's worth the wait and though you don't feel like it, I promise you it will be.
I have updates on my blog of everything. Brooklyn's newborn picture is in my siggy. It will be her birth announcement picture.

Good morning ladies! I don't have much to report. My HCG is rising perfectly, but my progesterone has been declining. We're keeping an eye on it to make sure it stays above 15, it was 19.6 as of Monday. I'm hoping today's beta shows a rise or at least stays the same. My first appt. is on May 2nd.

Good morning lovely ladies! Nothing new to report here...we have our next ultrasound on Wednesday and I can't wait to see the babies again. Symptoms are pretty much nil, except for some mild m/s and bloat that makes it hard to button my pants.
I am always lurking and rooting for all of you...especially multi IVFers. Congrats to all the recent BFPs and huge (((hugs))) to those who need them.
Morning ladies!! I updated about this a little on last week's check-in, but we had our first ultrasound last Friday and saw twins! Baby A measured at 6 weeks and 3days (1 day behind) and they couldn't get a measurement on Baby B because of its position in the ute. We were able to see and hear both heartbeats though which was incredibly amazing. We go back on April 22 for another ultrasound. I'm praying they can get a measurement on Baby B then.
3Ters - I'm still lurking all the time and rooting you all on!!! Love you!!

I've been so swamped at work but lurk as often as I can - Lots of luck to all you 3T girls. xo

Please excuse the laziness of last week's photo. I decided I was too lazy to change out of sweatpants and too small shirt.
I can not believe how fast time is going. Little man kicks like crazy and dh could feel him last week for the first time. I've got nursery ideas and ordered a chair this week, so I will be posting that on my blog if interested.
Love you all and root for you always!!
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.
SOO many new grads. I love it!
BBcolt-Brooklyn is so adorable. MrsVo-Congrats on twins!! JkGym-your bellly is so cute. I hope time hurries along for everyone waiting on their first u/s!

Jesselayne...can it be today? I'm dying
Amber...I think you look bigger last week then this...what you doing to my little man?
Hi ladies!
Heather, jesselayne & helloshannon - good luck at your upcoming ultrasounds!
BBColt - congratulations she is beautiful! And I love the name!
magnolia - glad you are feeling well! I think 6 weeks was when I stopped being able to button my pants. I thought it was just bloat, but it never went away! Can't wait to see your cute bump soon:)
Papps - congrats on the good NT results!
Mrs.Vo - Yay for twins!! Welcome to the MoM clubl;)
JKGymnast - you are looking great! Congrats on being half way there!
Trish - love the u/s pic. congrats on your perfect little bean!
Good luck to all the ladies who are in their 2WW right now or cycling! Big Hugs to those who need them.
Not a lot going on, just getting bigger by the day;) Here is my latest belly pic taken last night at 14 weeks.
My next dr. appt is April 25th & we've scheduled our anatomy scan for May 16th. Can't wait to find out what we're having!! DH thinks it's 2 boys, I honestly have no gut feeling at all.
Today my boys are 1 week old. I am staring to feel a little stronger. I do my best to see them everyday, but I have not held them because DS was home sick for a couple days. He's been better and back to school today. So I plan on spending my day in the NICU with my boys. I am about to get ready and head out. They are doing great and eating on their own. Joshua is bigger than Jacob and his feedings are much more than Jacob. They have their own little personalities.
Also I want to congratulate all the BFP's!! Way to go ladies... And for those still trying. I say keep it up and never give up. In the end it will be worth it. Huge hugs to everyone.
Ha, I know! It's decieving, and that is why I included the other week too. Hopefully tomorrow's photo will let you see that little man is taking up more room every week. I think it has to do with the way I am standing/shirt I am wearing.
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!

MrsLoos Ive been waiting to sse that bump grow!
Ladies with the surge of BFP'S and Births it's amazing to see! I am so happy for eveyone and pray all the time for all the 3T's because I think about you often!
Here is our 13 week belly bump! I attached the week 8 so you could see how big this sucker is getting! The 8 week picture is when my "bloat" was going away from treatments. Our next U/S is tomorrow so I get to see my chicken nuggets again. Have a great day and a fabulous weekend everyone!
Amber you look great! And so fun that DH can feel your little man. I can't wait for that!
Mari, your boys are adorable. Glad to hear they are doing well!
Sorry for the P&R earlier. Now where was I??
MrsLoos & Mag - 6 weeks is also where I gave up on trying to button the pants. I'm now in maternity pants full-time. It's just more comfortable so I said screw it, I'm wearing them!
JK - Yay for 1/2 way!!! You look adorable!
BBC - I think I posted this already on PAIF but I love your little one's photo. So cute!!
Trish - Yay for your perfect little bean!!
Papps - YAY for good results!! I can't wait to find out what you are having!!
Heather, jesselayne & helloshannon - So excited for you all!
Mari - Your boys are adorable! Congrats again!
Crystal - love that you call them chicken nuggets. So cute!
Thanks for all the love on the twins. I am just starting to get used to the idea and am feeling so incredibly blessed. I don't think I've ever been this happy in my whole life.

MrsVo. I commented on your post on PAIF - but I can't believe you are having twins!!!!! That must have been such a shock considering you had only one measurable follicle! Can they tell if they are identical or were there two eggs? I'm so so excited for you!!!

Sounds great, it's your's...take good care of it!!
Yes it was by far the shock of my life!! LOL! On the ultrasound pic (that I need to post) you can see that they are in two different sacs so it is most likely just a late bloomer egg that caught up. I'm really excited too
