12 week Ultrasound

I went to our 12 week ultrasound today, it went really well 
The baby was doing somersaults and flip flops, it was really cute and quite hilarious to watch. I got some really great shots, and one will appear on the PIP posts tomorrow! The only not great thing is that I am 5.4 and 170 lbs, so I have to be really careful with weight gain. Apart from that, my blood pressure is great, and I am low risk for my higher risk age category.
I announced to my boss, and my new boss who reports in to him. They were both fantastic. I was a little concerned that since my boss isn't a family man that he might be weird, but he was just terrific. He gave me a hug, told me to give V (my partner) a hug from him and that the baby would be 'very lucky'. So sweet. My new boss has 3 children, and she was wonderful, she actually told me that she'd conceived all of hers through IUI since she has PCOS, so we had something to bond on there. Really great day.

Re: 12 week Ultrasound
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
FET #1 December 2014
Congrats on a great day!
I am with you on the weight. I am also 5.4 and probably weigh around 170 right now though I am afraid to get on the scale. It's kind of nice that I haven't had any m/s yet...but since I'm not sick and I'm hungry all the time and I'm still not allowed to exercise, I'm pretty nervous about weight gain. Oh well. My friend who gave birth in September told me she lost 35 lbs in the 3 weeks after delivery. I am trying to remember that as I pack in the food!

Good luck ball.and.chain - If you like, I'll let you know if I have any good ideas for reducing the weight gain, and I'd love to hear if you have anything that's working well for you.
