Hi ladies 
I thought I'd post what I hope will be my last update here. Today is 7w3d and I had my first u/s. We saw one perfect heartbeat. All measurements were right on schedule. Happily, my RE will see me once weekly thru the first tri just to give assurance that everything is looking healthy.
I know the board has changed and most of you are on FB now. For those still here, please accept my sincerest thanks for your unending support. I know there's a whole lot of road for us yet, but this is already our biggest accomplishment. I couldn't have made it this far without you. I love the women here and this board. Looking forward to seeing more happy stories here and to continuing our legacy of support, compassion and humor. xoxo
Baby girl Lila born 2013.
Baby boy Henry born 2015.
Expecting our capstone baby (boy) early March 2018.
