Pregnant after 35
Options
The boys are here...
Thomas Eugene III (Tommy) and William David (Billy) arrived at 30w 6d on Monday June 25th. Tommy was 3lbs 15oz, Billy was 3lbs 6oz. Both are in the NICU, but are breathing room air. Both are doing well. Probably better than mom, I have been having trouble with pumping, but I think it is starting to get better. Hands free pumping bra is a Godsend.
Sorry it took me this long to post, it has been a bit crazy and emotional around here.
Hugs to all!

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)

Yeah, after reading her post, I didn't want to update yet. feeling very blessed today.
The boys are doing well today. Tommy is almost back to his birth weight @ 3lbs 14oz and Billy is just above his birth weight @ 3lbs 8oz. Tommy lost his umbilical cord, not sure when. Billy is off of oxygen as of today. Mom & Dad are tired. Seems like all I am doing is eating, drinking water, pumping, driving to or from NICU, at NICU or sleeping (if you can call it sleeping). Not complaining, just recording the details. Need to remember that veggies are good for me LOL. Might try to make some crock pot meals to freeze.
Shyn! Congratulations my old friend
I'm so happy for you! I hope you are all through with the NICU soon and home with your family!
