Hi ladies I had my last visit with my RE and really want to send something to my doctor and his staff. Curious to know what gifts you have sent or any ideas. Thanks
DH was going to send them something after the baby is born, but I just emailed them a week ago to let them know how she is doing and have not heard back. So I am a little bit irked about that. DH will probably send something anyway like fruit. I was not going to send them anything because although I loved them, I also did shell out $13,000 to them. So I figure that they can buy alot of fruit with that! But I am way cheaper than dh.

We bought our RE a massage and pedicure at a massage place close to his office. And we got my IVF nurse a massage. And we gave them both thank you cards as well as some of the other staff that always helped us. They loved it and both sent me a email saying thank u :
Our place is like a factory, so I figured they would forget about us by the time our twins are born. I sent a cookie tray to the whole office from a local bakery with a thank you note.
I'm a nurse and know that the more junk food around, the better. We pretend to complain about it but it makes my day if there are cookies around!

Over Thanksgiving, I took them a fruit and cheese tray and crackers. I thought Thanksgiving was an appropriate time to say thank you. I also email back and forth with my RE. He is awesome. Can't wait to let them know when Sullivan is here!
