Pregnant after IF

Still Pregnant

and today marks 30 weeks!!! My next goal is to get to September. I was discharged 2 days ago, but am not allowed to go home (we live 1 hr away). I'm currently in my Stanford apartment and my DH just hooked up internet for me (using my iPhone as a hotspot -- pretty convenient). I missed my baby shower and maternity photos, but am trying to keep my spirits up. Babies weighed 3 lbs 1 week ago, so I'm hoping they are up to 3.5 lbs now.

Thank you all for your support -- going to go and catch up on posts :)

TTC since 8/09
DX: PCO, ENDO, High NK, MTHFR
8/10 = Lap to remove Endo

2 Femara TI, 3 Follistim IUI = BFN & 1 c/p
IVF #1 - BFP - boy/girl Twins!

Ben and Reese born at 34w2d!
