Congratulations to all of our new graduates!

Re: ~*~*3T Graduates*~*~
I'm in my last week of 1st trimester. Can't believe it
  Still having constant morning sickness, but if it means I'm pregnant...I'll take it!!  Congrats to all the new BFPs I am constantly rooting for you all.  And hugs to all who need it this week.
Thanks for sharing your bump pic! What a beautiful sight!

I thought I missed out this week, SWEET I made it! Thanks for paging us STL, I hope your day gets better!
Thinking about everyone! Good Luck Gym!
The babies and I are doing well. They started moving and kicking non stop which is crazy because when I get up to walk it kind of throws me off! It's weird having 2 kicking at the same time, not that i have 1 to compare it to...
So here is my 21 week bump
Sorry, Papps! I totally dropped the ball on not posting the check-in this morning. So, I thought I should let ladies on PAIF know that it was up!
I bet YH was excited to get to feel Amelia!! How wonderful!

sorry ladies, no bump pic today!
Not much to update either which I feel like is a good thing
 These babies are trying to bust out of my belly today! At least one of them has been wiggling around all.day.long. I love it, but it worries me about what they will be like when they are outside babies! I'm pretty sure it's baby boy who is the wiggle worm - takes after his dad and can't sit still:) 
I had my first ultrasound last weekend and saw not one, but TWO gestational sacs! I go back tomorrow to hopefully see my twin heartbeats
 I have been lucky not to have too many symptoms, which I am thanking God for as I try to finish out this school year (one more week)!
I lurk around here all the time and am truly rooting for you ladies!!!
HC - your bump is adorable!! I hope the m/s eases up soon
Papps - so glad your scan went well! I missed your FB post - will have to go track it down
Lee and Loos - yay for baby movement!! It's such a cool feeling
Looking good leecrystal! I'm not sure how you and Papps are already past the 20 week mark!
MrsLoos, I'm so glad you are doing well! Hopefully you can get us a bump pic next week!!

No baby yet! But I have an acu appointment tomorrow and MH and I are going for nightly walks. And I'm thinking of trying out the labor inducing eggplant parm recipe I've seen floating around - LOL
  I think after tomorrow's doc appt I'll start twice weekly NSTs to make sure baby is still doing ok and push induction talk back as far as possible.
Here is my official due date pic from yesterday. Forgive the cranky pants look on my face!

No real update from me. Just chugging along, looking increasingly and obviously pregnant. Next MFM (high risk) appointment is next Friday.
besu-chan, congrats x 2! I hope you see both heartbeats tomorrow!

Glow, I think you need to post a bump pic!! Glad you are doing well!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't updated here in a while, but I'm always so late getting to it since I can't post photos at work. Anyway, here's my first bump picture!
Good luck to all of you!
I love seeing all of the new grads! Good luck to all of the 3T ladies and big ((hugs)) to those who need them.
I'm just chugging along
  I've gotten used to the GD diet for the most part (I still miss my ice cream!) and I still feel pretty good.  My fasting blood sugars levels have been getting higher so at my appt last Friday my OB said we'd watch my sugars for one more week and then decide if I need meds or not.  I have another appt in the morning so we'll see how it goes.   The nursery is coming along and my second (and last) shower is on Saturday!  Here is my 33 week bump pic:

Congrats to all the new BFP's!!!
I'm rooting for you ladies on 3T:)
I had my 1st official OB appt. this past Tuesday and everything is looking great:) I had another u/s and got to see the baby move around and heard the HB for the 1st time:) It was truly amazing!
No bump pic for me yet! I have a small little one forming and my bloat seems to be gone, but it's mostly chub:P
Sorry I'm late!
No bump yet but we did have an ultrasound on Weds. It confirmed that I am due exactly when I thought I was (trigger shot sort of takes the mystery out of it) and that there is ONE baby in there!!
Heartbeat was 162 bpm and I'm measuring 7w4d.
Currently back stateside but missing Kenya!
Hey Ladies! I cant believe that Im an actual graduate this is so crazy. Well anyway. I have my second beta this morning and will update this afternoon. Im still spotting and its scarring the heck out of me. Its been 6 days you would think after 6 days that would not be considered implantation spotting. But Im trying to live in the moment at this point and enjoy the fact Im KU.
Gym-I truly hope that baby is here within the next few days.
Papps-Man time flies. Looking good momma! Cant wait to see you baby room!
Glow-Happy you are doing good girlie!!!
To all the others so happy things are going well for you guys. I came in when you guys had already left. Cant wait til next week to see more bellies!!!

Hi Trish!! Just had to say you look fantastic... Love the bump...
I sure hope I look as good as you (cranky pants face and all) when I'm 40 weeks! Seriously gym, you look fantastic! Can't wait to meet the little man!!
)
Hey ladies!
The last few days have not been fun. I had a scary episode on Wednesday morning. I had horrible stomach pains, terrible nausea, and started shaking uncontrollably. I had DH pick me up from work and rush me to my OB's office. The nurse saw me right away. My blood pressure was 68/44! They gave me juice, put wet rags on my face and neck, and had me lay down. After 20 minutes, i was feeling much improved. They aren't sure what caused the drop in blood pressure, but apparently that is what triggered all the other symptoms. I have to be careful because if my blood pressure gets that low again, I could easily lose consciousness.
I'm feeling better now though! Still dealing with belated m/s which didn't start until a week and a half ago. Zofran helps. I haven't taken belly shots yet because I don't really have a bump yet.
Congrats to the recent BFPs!
9/2010: First visit to RE = CD3 b/w (normal); CD7 ultrasound (normal); DH's SA (normal but morph wasn't analyzed, so doc ordered a 2nd SA); Prog. supplements starting 3dpo for all future cycles
10/2010: SHG to check tubes (normal!) & DH's 2nd SA (normal)
2/2011: Start first Clomid + Ovidrel + IUI cycle = BFN
3/2011: IUI # 2 (Clomid + 50iu Follistim + Estradiol + IUI) = BFP!!!
Beta #1 (14 dpo)= 161
Beta #2 (17 dpo)= 518
Beta #3 (24 dpo)= 7,728

No big update from me. I will be 9 weeks tomorrow so I am trucking along. I have my first OB appt on Thursday (6/9) so I should have a more exciting update next week.
Gym - I hope that baby comes soon!
EEK! How scary! Aww T&P's headed your way for a healthy BP all through out the rest of your pregnancy!!
Hi 3Ters!! Miss you all! Congrats on all the new BFP's...shout out to my 3T girlies Andie & Crissy
Updates-Last Friday I woke up with what I thought was Kidney pain..called the nurse and they got me an appt. Turns out it wasnt Kidney anything
 just a pulled muscle the dr. said. She said get a pregnancy pillow if I want even if I am this early on...anything to help me sleep is worth it (as I haven't been sleeping well for almost 3 weeks now) what witht he sore tata's, heartburn & reflux..m/s and peeing 24/7 
 She did an u/s and I was 1 day shy of 5 wks but measuring right on target. We saw a gest sac and yolk sac...my next official appt is next Thursday so we are looking forward to seeing a heart beat!!! God willing! 
Right now, Zofran, Maalox, water, plain popcorn and cucumbers are my friend
 anything to help with the m/s, heartburn and reflux but as long as they mean I am PG then its all good...(most of the time LOL!!) 
Tootles!
