sorry...posted in wrong place

Hi all! We found out yesterday at our u/s that we are Team Pink! We are thrilled, but it came as quite a surprise to us. Yes, technically we knew it was 50/50 but we were both sure all along that it was going to be a boy. And it was a boy in all of my baby dreams so far, except for the one crazy dream where I gave birth to a snake and was trying to figure out how to breastfeed it (from a Freudian standpoint, the snake was probably also a boy! LOL) So much for maternal instinct.
We're going to torture our families a little (since they know we were finding out yesterday) and not tell them until Christmas day. Baby was looking well, although a bit uncooperative (read: lazy like her daddy!) at the u/s. No problems other than a slightly low-lying placenta, but I haven't had any bleeding from it and it's not low enough to call it previa, so it should be no big deal.
Congrats to annalisel on your bfp! Hugs and good luck to everyone else!
So happy to hear you aren't having a snake!! YAY for girls (although I already stalked you and saw your post in PAIF)...

Hi McIrish and everyone else! Thanks for inviting everyone over to say hello.
Really wishing I had something interesting to post though.....
All quiet here. Getting last minute xmas shopping done. Wouldnt be Christmas at all if I wasnt out at the last minute battling the crowds to finish my shopping.
Going for our anatomy scan next week. Excited to see baby again, but Team Green so we won't have any news to share on the gender front.
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the holiday season. Hope the new year brings everyone here exactly what they ask for!
P.S. Safe driving, McIrish, on your long journey to the Garden State! Very best of luck tomorrow and I hope everything goes great! GL!
Hi ladies!! I miss you and do still check up on you over here daily. I'm constantly rooting for all of you and can't wait until you get your BFP's!!
I am doing well for the most part. Moving much more slowly than I'm used to. There is no rushing for me anymore. I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and am now on insulin once a day, but so far it's doing a great job. This little girl is doing great. She's measuring one week ahead so they are estimating her at about 4 llbs now. Due to being put on insulin they will not let me go past 39 weeks, so in 8 weeks or less I will have this little girl in my arms and I cannot wait. I can't believe it's so close.
Hi ladies and thanks McIrish
Yay for Mrs.JA, was looking for update when i came on, hope alls going great for her!
Well i cant believe im 13wks today, i must admit i have been so excited but so nervous and worring this whole time!!! Im hoping to relax now as we had a doc appt yesterday with scan and all was great with baby soooooo relieved!!!!!
Im so excited to learn that DH would like to find out the sex......if he didnt i wouldnt but Yay !!! We already have names, we picked them in the 2 years we were TTC!!
Thats it really, one of my cats have just ran off with one of my xmas tree decorations, i must now go and lay down the law,......yet again!!! Take care all, wishing you all the best of luck (((((((((big hugs)))))))))))
Bolded part has me chuckling!

HI! This is so cool, thanks for inviting us over.
We are having two girls and eviction date is set for Feb. 6th if they don't come on their own before then. I have to say, being pregnant with twins has been way harder on my body than I ever expected. My back is killing me. But it's been so awesome to have two little babies movin and grovin and fighting for space.
I'm scared, excited, nervous and thrilled that I will be meeting them soon.
Oh and their names are Brooke Elizabeth and Nora Kathryn.

Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
Well, I'm just a LITTLE past being pregnant but I still feel and think about IF everyday- especially at holiday time. I remember how hard the holidays always were. I always check in to see how everyone is doing and I root for all of you!
I was 40 and 43 when I had my kids after numerous IUI's and IVF's and cancelled cycles- DH had major MFI and I had a septum, tilted uterus, AMA and a very, very poor responder to the meds. I was on here a long time. I'm happy to see so many success stories responding to this post - and McIrish- I hope the new year brings you the same success!
IUI- BFN IVF #1 -BFP! Allie is our 2nd IVF baby. Born at 36 1/2 weeks after pre-e again
Thanks Jill! I love seeing your kids grow up in pictures. So cute!

YAY, I've wanted to say hello so badly! I lurk over here all the time and am your silent cheerleader...
I am in total disbelief that I am halfway through a pregnancy. After so many years there is some part of me that didn't think it would ever happen, but our little boy is measuring perfectly. I was blessed with no morning sickness and we have passed every AMA milestone & test with flying colors. It was really hard to avoid being a doomsdayer in the begining so I just tried to put the pregnancy out of my mind. We didn't share the news with family until after Thanksgiving. Now I am so blissed out and excited it is hard to think about anything but meeting this little man!
I love you all and hope that you get the same perfect experience VERY soon!
Sarah
It is so wonderful to see all of you over here! And I can't believe how far along some of you are -- it seems like just yesterday that you were regulars over here. Best wishes to everyone, and I can't wait for another progress report from everyone soon!
PS: Thanks McIrish for coming up with this great idea!
deleted my post i didn't read before replying!
Thanks for inviting us over McIrish!
I lurk over here every day too I must admit.
I have now made it half way through week 9. I officially had my last re visit and got a look at my wiggle worm last Monday. It is hard to believe how much it had grown in 2 weeks!
I am looking forward to ditching my progesterone after Thursday and going for my first ob and first tri screening appointment in early January. By then I will be just a regular ole pregnant girl.
I have been lucky to have no morning sickness at all, and overall I feel pretty good.
I wish everyone gets their bfp soon and has a wonderful holiday!

McIrish.....You made my day by posting this today!! I needed this pick me up and I needed to read it with my own eyes on my own board to know that we're not forgotten. Because-Heaven knows I lurk there everyday.
To all the PG after 35 ladies-miss you all and so glad that everyone is doing well. I see your tickers everyday on your board-but it's hard to believe how quickly time goes. Keep hoping to get BFP while I still know people on PG after 35 board-but I don't think that will be an issue, because we've sent way more people over there than I ever imagined. God Bless all you ladies and I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas. Hoping that many of the ladies on our board will be able to join you soon. Lhcooper and Shyntrue both have Beta's this week (apologies is I missed anyone).
Waiting for word from MrsJordanAlmond.
It's wonderful to hear how great everyone is doing. Wow how time flies.
Wishing you all Happy Holidays!
Oh my gosh! I want to say I lurk over here all the time but I have missed your great news somehow Karen. I'm so happy for you.
I was here for over a year after a second trimester m/c and 3 IUI's and a disastrous IVF. DE brought me these beautiful twin girls.
Anyone hear from Rach - I thought her adoption was supposed to go through this fall?
Thinking of you all
Thanks hun, its so great as you well know!!! Yes i must 'call' her, i was chatting to her few weeks ago and she was telling me the baby is a girl 'sweet' and mother is due in january......so exciting!!!!! Glad to hear your all doing great, have a wonderful christmas and an even more wonderful new year (((hugs)))
Many congrats to all our graduates! So happy for you all.
McIrish - thank you for posting this. It has renewed my hope that this may someday happen for me too.
Happy Holidays to everyone and hoping TTC after 35 gets what we're working for in 2012...a flurry of BFPs!!

I am soooo late in responding to this post! If anyone remembers me, I am 25 weeks, and I can't believe that I am that far along! We are having a GIRL!!!! We are over the moon! I am doing good execpt my feet and legs have been swelling constantly since week 16, the doc says it is just normal for me. I am super short and small frame and he says all that extra fluid has to go somewhere! geez thanks!!! I also have increased estrogen levels which is causing a rash on my back, somedays I could just take my shirt off and flop around on the carpet to get my back scratched!!!
I still lurk over here all the time and pray for each you!! Merry Christmas!
