Good morning ladies! I'm still thinking of you ladies often and rooting for you to come over to PAIF quickly!
We had our first ob appt this morning. Everything went great! I am still in shock over this and still have a hard time believing this is real. We had another quick u/s and we able to finally hear the heartbeat. So surreal. I think we are going to slowly let the cat out of the bag.
{{HUGS}} to all of you ladies!
After 18 months TTC, our 2nd IUI brought us our BFP!
Stick baby stick!
Not a whole lot of news from me. I will start second tri on Saturday! I can't believe how fast this is going already, but I am so grateful that little bean is doing well. My next OB appt. is on 7/11.
My DD will be turning 5 on Monday! Talk about time flying by! I am so proud of the little girl she has become and she is going to be an amazing big sister.

Big congrats to YaNeverKnow and Ashleyann! It's so great to see you girls here!
Things are going great for me right now. I have been without m/s for almost 2 weeks. My energy is back to normal (it could have something to do with being out of work). I've gotten back into daily or almost daily exercise. I haven't "popped" yet, but I keep thinking it is going to happen any day now.
I now have a blog if you are interested in following, the link is in my siggy.

On Tuesday we had our 1st U/S. We were able to see and hear the heartbeat which was wonderful. Our RE did the U/S and then talked with us afterwards. He said everything is exactly as it should be at this point which was a load off our minds.
M/S has arrived, but I am not complaining. I am trying to keep the attitude that it is just another thing to go through on my journey to have a baby. Fortunately it has JUST started and hasn't been as bad as some have it.
We go for a 2nd U/S with the RE next Thursday and he said if everything is progressing as it should (fingers crossed) then he will release me at that point to my OB.
I am constantly lurking on 3T from my phone and rooting for all of my lovely ladies!
Here is the 1st pic of our LO.

I haven't posted in a few weeks, not sure how time gets away from me! Not much to update, we passed 24 weeks which was a huge milestone and I feel like I can finally relax a little bit. Babies seem to be doing great, kicking up a storm and I'm seem to be getting huge so I hope that means they are growing! I have my next growth scan next week, it's been almost a month since our last one so I'm anxious to see how they are doing.
We've started on our nursery, DH painted and put together the cribs and changing table last weekend. I'm waiting on some bedding my aunt made for us and some wall art I ordered on Etsy, but it's coming along. It's very surreal to have a baby room in my house! Last night DH yelled from down the hall "hey you know we have a nursery back here!" HA! He's getting very excited and I think it's so cute!
No pictures this week, sorry! I've got some but I need to download them off the camera. Next week I promise a bump pic & an u/s pic
Good luck to all the 3T ladies! I lurk as much as I can and have my fingers crossed for all of you that you get your BFP's soon! ((HUGS))

Just got back from my first u/s! RE kept asking about my symptoms, she said she loves to hear about all of it. So I spilled on all the details so she would start the u/s. We saw & heard the heartbeat for 1 LO. It was amazing. She gave me 5 pictures, but I made DH take them home with him for a few reasons....1. I would have gotten no work done with them so available & 2. I did not want to get busted at work since no one knows. When I get home, I will scan them in and add to my blog. She also graduated me to my OB, which is thrilling and sad. I haven't seen my OB since May 2009.
Thank you Ladies for all of the support you have provided to me during my journey. I appreciate you all more than you know

No bump pic this week but wanted to share that we had our baby shower on Sunday. It was absolutely amazing... Rylee was spoiled and my sisters, who hosted, outdid themselves! If you have time, take a look at the pictures I posted the other day here:
hi ladies! Congratulations to all the recent BFPs!!! I haven't updated in awhile, but I had my girls exactly 3 weeks ago at 39 weeks, 1 day. After all of that hospital and home bedrest, I wound up having to be induced! I was in labor for about 8 hours, pushed for an hour for Emma, and 45 minutes later Harlow was born. Emma Dylan weighed 4lbs 14oz, and Harlow Jane was 5lbs 14oz.
Now I'm just trying to adjust to taking care of two newborns.. it definitely has it's rough moments, but it's worth it. Here's a pic of the girls when they were 2 days old. Emma is on the left, Harlow on the right.

As for me Im 8 weeks today. Had another U/S with my OB since I graduated from my RE thank goodness. I love my OB so much!!! At the RE's office I felt like a number. Anyway the u/s went wonderful. Measuring right on track! HR was up from 136 to 160's!!! No belly yet just bloat! OB wants me to come back in 2 weeks just to make sure everything is ok! So I have another appt July 13th! Cant wait to see that lovebug again!!!
Love the bellies and congrats to the grads! So happy for you guys! To those that are cycling I wish you the best of luck!
Morning ladies! Congrats to all the recent BFP's and good luck to all those ladies cycling right now. I had my follow up u/s on Monday and got to see my little girl again! She was being a troublemaker and made it hard for the tech to get pictures of everything but thankfully she eventually did and so far everything looks good. Petri was so awake and moving all over the place. She even flipped completely over during the scan. So cool! We're starting on her nursery this weekend and have a first name picked out (I think it will be Emily) but we're having a hard time figuring out a middle name. Any suggestions?:) pic of my baby girl in my siggy!
A great friend of mine from high school is Emily Mae. I like it!
That's actually DH's favorite right now... I'm still torn:P

My cousin's little girl is now about 12 years old. Her name is Emily Rose, that I think is absolutly beautiful! I don't remember any of my others cousin's kids middle names (heck some of them I don't even remember their first names) but her's has stayed with me.
Really? I also have a cousin who has a 12 year old daughter whose name is Emily Rose. Considering we live in different countries, I'm guessing they're not the same person....but funny, anyway I agree, that the name tends to stick with you (I don't know any of my other cousin's MN's!).
Megan Jay - I don't know if it would bother you (it obviously doesn't bother some people), but Emily Rose is the name of the devil child in the movie Rosemary's Baby.
LOL... not sure that it would have bothered me but now I won't be able to associate it with anything but that;) Coworkers suggested NOT using Emily Elizabeth since that's the name of the girl in Clifford... and now I can't stop thinking that either:P
