Awesome hair that grows so much faster, how willing to help my husband is at all times (hehe), buying baby stuff (so far, just furniture), thinking of baby names, and finally having something to look forward to and not just another cycle of treatment.

- Shopping for baby clothes. I even tried getting DH to play "let's make baby outfits" last night. I felt like I was 8 years old. He drank wine while I said "Isn't this cute?" about 100 times.
TTC since 8/09
DX: PCO, ENDO, High NK, MTHFR
8/10 = Lap to remove Endo
Beautiful Miracle Baby lost at 21 weeks due to pre-term labor and incompetent cervix. FET#1 BFN, FET#2 BFP, early loss. FET#3 BFN. IVF#2 BFFN. FET #4 BFP after removing bilateral hydrosalpinx and 3 months of lupron depot. Sticky Bun is here!!
just being really happy. I was always covering up my sadness with IF, but now my heart is just happy
I am so incredibly happy, it is ridiculous. But more specifically:
1) Being at a friend's pool the other day and playing with the kids all the while thinking I would be playing with my own soon.
2) My father mentioned that he thought A and I would be amazing parents. I had no reason to think we wouldn't be, but hearing him actually say it melted my heart.
3) Still running longer than the people around me at the gym.
4) Looking forward to feeling kicks.
5) I sing to my baby. He should appreciate the sound being muffled because 5 months from now he is going to hear it with less distortion and it might make him cry.
6) The way my belly jiggles when I really laugh, which is often.

Sorry I'm late to this... couldn't play last night:P I think the best part for me right now is feeling her kicks and watching my belly move. Last night I was looking down at my belly and it was completely lopsided because she was scrunched up on one side of my stomach. DH put his head on my stomach and she kicked him! His reaction was so cute:)
The whole thing just amazes me:)
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I'm a little late too but I wanted to play as well!
I love feeling him kick and move and seeing how DH's face lights up when he can feel him kick too. I also love the excitement and aniticipation of him getting here... I can't wait to hold him in my arms!
DH loves that my C's have gone up to very large D's (this part I hate! haha)

Ben and Reese born at 34w2d!
definitely feeling them move. love that. and not feeling guilty about anything i eat!
the rest of it i could prolly live without (the nausea, vomiting, swelling, etc), but i don't mind b/c i know my girls are growing well!
-Feeling her move is the best!
-Getting to use the stork parking at various places and knowing I deserve it!
-People being extra nice
-Having DW rub my belly when we are laying in bed and having DW feel LO kick is awesome too!
This! I love feeling him move!
I also love being pampered by DH and my family. They seriously don't let me lift a finger!
DH has been a great. I mean he is always great, but I get extra lower back rubs, water when I need it, more space in the bed, etc.
And since I'm at work and need to keep this clean.... the "intimate time" has been off the charts. No joke.
I can't believe I just said that.
Starting to feel the babies move.
And the boob growth. Lol.
