Re: Pregnant (& TTC) After Preemie Check-in!
I've got the GD! Why am I not surprised? The good news is after spending 4 1/2 months w/Reid in the nicu and the heartburn with this pregnancy food isn't all that exciting anyway. Not today but next Weds. I go for my class and I get my monitor.
Violet is hanging out in my rib cage. My mom said that was where I was during her pregnancy.
great news Shannon!!
I'm still here and still pg
I am 1cm and 50% effaced as of yesterday. The doctor I saw says I won't be having this baby in the next week, which is okay because my doc isn't back in town until Monday. I'm just trying to get stuff finished at work (8 more working days!!) and home. I can't believe we're so close!
Need help with high fat food ideas? Chunky Monkey
Can I be added please
DS #1 Born 27 weeks 3 days undetermined PTL
Planning #2 trying in Sep and October...God willing
I seem to have dropped off the TTC list (becketts - DD born @ 34wks due to severe pre-e), which is not completely surprising since it's been 13 months of no success and I'm an infrequent "bumper." It's baffling to me since we conceived DD the first month we tried. We have an infertility consultation tomorrow, so hopefully we can at least come away with a plan.
On a positive note, DD had an awesome 2-year checkup! She is 20lbs 8oz and 32 inches. We've come a long way from 4lbs 11oz / 17.5 in! Her doctor was amazed by how articulate she is.
Sorry! I did some housecleaning and noticed we hadn't heard from you in a while - I'll add you back!
Love your siggy pic!
ETA: If you ever want to talk about the TTC/IF stuff, send me a PM or page me. We've been through the process twice now and it never gets easier - but it helps to have someone to talk to. *hugs*
Sure! Welcome!
We are onto cycle 2 of ttc. Hopefully, we will be successful. We were so lucky to get pregnant with DS so quickly that now I am worried it won't be so easy this time around.
