Hello pretty mamas out there!!

Come and tell us how you all are doing! This is the place to talk about all things baby: bumps, betas, ultrasounds, gender reveals, birth stories and more! And don't forget those pics!

QOTW: How did you tell your DH/SO, family and/or friends that you were PG? I know IF treatments can often take away the surprise factor, but did you do anything fun or try to surprise anyone in any way? Do tell!

Have a great day ladies!

Hi lovely 3T ladies!! Always rooting for you all and I hope everyone is doing well!

Today was graduation day from the RE! It was surreal and bittersweet. At times it felt like I was never going to leave and then today it was crazy that I was saying farewell and I'm now a normal pregnant lady. It feels great, but it's weird!

We had one last u/s yesterday and everything with our pumpkin looks good, measuring right on track with a HB of 125. My first OB appointment is in 2 weeks, where we'll see the baby again. I can't believe I'm halfway through first tri - now let's just get all the way through and I'll feel a lot better.

QOTW: So unfortunately IF did take away the element of surprise because my DH knew I was going to POAS before beta and my parents and sister knew when we did the IVF cycle and transfer so I kind of had to update them. I waited until we had 2 betas before I told them though and it was over the phone, so not very exciting.

I'm 24 weeks already. It's very surreal. We're finally making some headway on the baby's room. Our furniture gets delivered next week. I feel good. Just tired at night which has been my standard pregnancy symptom. I hardly ever feel kicks which bugs me but oh well.

As for the QOTW my answer sort of sucks. I started peeing on things 2dp5dt and was ready to call it a BFP on the 7dp5dt when we were out of town. DH already knew because he was in on my daily pee sessions. I told my little sister in person while skyping with my mom and my mom freaked out and said she would believe it when the doctor said it. THEN I called my older sister and she said "why are you telling me this so early? I didn't tell anyone until 10 weeks." I cried. It sucked.

Hey ladies! I'm 15 weeks and 2 days. Starting to look like I have a bump. 2 weeks and we find out if Team Erwin is pink or blue.

QOTW: we told our family by giving them onesies with whatever relative they will be (I love grandma, my aunt rocks, etc.). As far as friends, I announced with my redone IVF video. Still makes me cry every time I see it.

Hugs to my ladies! I miss you all.

Hey guys. Im 27w today. Bedrest sucks but hopefully its working. I had a little bleeding scare on Sunday that ended up being nothing. They checked my cervix and the pessary seems to be holding it at 1.4cm. I go back monday for my weekly. If my cervix gets any shorter, I will be admitted for the remainder. Im hoping it stays the same because my shower is the 10th!

QOTW: H and I found out when the OHSS hit and they did a super early beta. My parents found out then too becuase I was going in for surgery.

We told friends and the rest of the family by Xmas card.

Here is the 27w bump pic!

Hi ladies!!!! I hope everyone is doing well!

Today was my first u/s! We were able to see and hear our little jellybean (JB). Measuring in at 5.8mm with a heart beat of 115 bpm! I am measuring a day behind but they still left my EDD as Oct. 21st.

I got a hug from my nurse and then I was released from my RE!

Here's our first pic (JB is in the very top left of the pic)

I surprised my DH with a gift bag full of Chicago Bears baby items. He knew when the official test was but I had been testing everyday since my trigger so I knew 4 days before the test date!

For my side of the family, we wrapped up a box that was filled with pink and blue balloons and one huge baby balloon. I opened it and my mom started laughing at the balloons and then she stopped when she saw the baby balloon, and asked if I was pregnant. And then the tears!

I was able to record both and they are in my blog. I was also able to record the ultrasound from today and hopefully I can get that posted by sometime today!

weird to be posting here, and I just posted my farewell below, I'm at 4 weeks and 1 day, clearly in the early stage here, but the only new news is my viability ultrasound is March 18th, so hopefully we can see a heartbeat. I'm excited and nervous!

QOTW: DH and I went to my parents place and POAS in their bathroom, and had a mini celebration together. Then went downstairs where everyone was hanging out and I handed it to my mom and all the crying and craziness ensued.

Hope you all are doing well, I miss you all already!

Hi everybody, 28 weeks now and getting excited to meet the LOs! We bought our nursery furniture and it arrived last weekend, so it feels like everything is coming together.

QOTW: I started POAS right after the beta and 5dp5dt I got a VERY faint line. I rushed into the bedroom where DH was still sleeping and shook him awake and told him to look and see if he saw anything. My mom and DH's siblings knew we were cycling, so we called them after the 1st u/s and told extended family at thanksgiving when we were ~12 weeks.

Wishing the best to everyone who is cycling now, my 3T gals are never far from my thoughts.

Hi ladies!! Hope your all doing good!

This week has been good. We had our first appointment with the OB nurse the other day. It went good! Went over a ton of things and set up what is coming up. Scheduled my NT scan for a few weeks and my next apt so I am happy about that! Everything went great!

My husband and I looked at the second pee stick together. Long story in my blog. I told my parents and siblings over the phone. Everyone was crying and ecstatic. Nothing too crazy here. We will also be announcing on FB after the NT scan.
