74dragonfly · August 2013

1. How many weeks? 25 on Monday! wow..almost 3rd tri!

2. Any updates? A/S? Etc? I have a referral to a new OB. I need to deliver at Stanford Childrens hospital because baby needs to be in NICU and see the surgeon immediately to evaluate. They think his surgery can be delayed until he is 4 weeks old but they wont know until he is born. I'm hoping and praying he can have a safe delivery (now planned for 38 weeks) and I can hold and see him those first few minutes.

3. What do you want to buy this time time around (have you bought) which you didn’t have for the first? I have heard Aden Anais swaddle blankets are the best. I also am getting Becco Gemini carrier. we had a Bjorn for DD and it was terrible for your back.

4. Is this your last baby or do you want more after this? I will be 39.5 when I deliver. I am so blessed to getting a second. This is our last baby. I plan to have tubes tied at RCS.

5. QTKY: What are your favortite TV show these days? Devious Maids, Project Runway, Top Chef.

Oops forgot a question.

We conceived this baby while waiting to do IVF. I was on progesterone and COQ10 (thanks jeanna!).

DahliaFlower · August 2013

1. How many weeks? I will be 31 weeks on Thurs.

2. Any updates? A/S? Etc Last MFM appt baby was breech, however at my monitoring appt he was head down. I know there's plenty of time for him to flip around, but I am hoping he gets comfy vertex!

3. What do you want to buy this time time around (have you bought) which you didn’t have for the first? Baby boy stuff, of course I haven't been able to resist some of the the cute baby boy outfits I've seen.

4. Is this your last baby or do you want more after this? I would be thrilled if we were able to have another baby after this. 5. how did you conceive this baby? Hormones, predinsone, Lovenox and aspirin. A boat load of supplements. Prayers.

6. QTKY: What are your favorite TV show these days? Hands down it's Breaking Bad.

mlamping · August 2013

How many weeks? 17, 18 on Wed of next week.

2. Any updates? A/S? Etc?			Had an ultrasound on Friday, baby is doing great.

3. What do you want to buy this time time around (have you bought) which you didn’t have for the first? I got so for more swaddling blankets and more bottle option.

4. Is this your last baby or do you want more after this? for now the last baby, we do have more frozen embryos, but I am not ready to be pregnant again. 5. how did you conceive this baby? Frozen cycle after IVF in March.

6. QTKY: What are your favorite TV show these days? I know it is lame, but Pretty little Liers, Law and Order, Castle, the Mentalist, Anything with murder and suspence. Downtown Abby when on.

egsquared · August 2013

1. How many weeks? 32 weeks on Tuesday!

2. Any updates? A/S? Etc? I have an appointment on Wednesday. It's my regularly scheduled appointment, but I'm nervous - at 30 weeks I was 1-2 cm dilated, so they'll be checking to see if there has been any progression. I've been on modified bed rest for the past 2 weeks, so hopefully that's helping.

3. What do you want to buy this time time around (have you bought) which you didn’t have for the first? Everything! We lived in a one bedroom condo when DD was born, so we didn't have room for anything. Never had a swing, jumperoo, etc. We also may also buy a rocker or glider since I just sat on our bed or living room couch with DD.

4. Is this your last baby or do you want more after this? This is our last baby. We've always wanted two, and since I'm 37 and this one took longer to conceive than we thought he would, we're done.

5. how did you conceive this baby? 1st round of IVF!

6. QTKY: What are your favorite TV show these days? I really don't watch a lot of shows. I do like reality shows though like the Voice and the Bachelorette. Otherwise, I watch a lot of HGTV.

4. Is this your last baby or do you want more after this? I am DONE. I am getting very tired of "are you going to try for a girl?" Um...no thanks...I'll have 4 boys after this...my car will be full, the house will be full (and full of destruction) and my heart will be full. 5. how did you conceive this baby? FET

6. QTKY: What are your favorite TV show these days? Parenthood, Homeland, Modern Family and I'm slightly obsessed with HGTV.

hoping4more · August 2013

1. Bringing up the rear with 5 weeks

2. I have an appointment with RE on Wednesday & my first ultrasound next Monday.

3. A city select stroller, professional maternity and newborn photos, maybe a mamaroo

4. Assuming this is not multiples I think we would like at least 1 more after this one. We both have always wanted lots of kids but then hit 2IF. We will have to see money-wise too as we have no coverage.

5. Lots of prayers!! And clomid, estrogen patches, prometrium and an hsg this cycle. We were starting all our testing again to talk injects with RE & just took clomid while waiting to see him.

6. Although some are on breaks right now lately I have enjoyed: Whodunnit, The Fosters, Switched at Birth, Hells Kitchen, Baby Daddy, 19 kids & counting, sister wives, under the dome... Yes I'm a dork

rcnavywife · August 2013

1. How many weeks? 9 weeks
2. Any updates? A/S? Etc? Awaiting my first OBGYN appointment on 09/16. Still waiting for dates for NT scan and to meet with MFM.
3. What do you want to buy this time time around (have you bought) which you didn’t have for the first? More of everything! But probably a swing and an electric breastpump are the only things I will need that we didn't have at all before.
4. Is this your last baby or do you want more after this? We got much more than we expected, so this is most definitely it!!
5. how did you conceive this baby? IUI #5 (gonal-f, ovidrel, and prometrium)
6. QTKY: What are your favorite TV show these days? The Daily Show, BigBang reruns, Castle, Blue Bloods. Super excited for a new season of Battle of the Blades. It's a Canadian show where they take some former hockey players and teach them pairs figure skating. So fun!

e74 · August 2013

Hello, I was going to post this on secondary if, but most of the people that were on there when I was are gone or over here. I gave birth to twin boys on August 2, 2913 after 4 weeks of hospital bed rest and 4 weeks of bed rest at home for a very short cervix, the boys came at 31 weeks, 3 days and have been in the NICU since that time. I am so very excited to see so many success stories and wish all of you the very best! Names are Ethan Dale and Aidan Dennis.

jeannaqueena · August 2013

E74: CONGRATS!! How are they doing? When will the get to come home?? Great names!!!!

e74 · August 2013

@jeanna,they are doing much better. For awhile, they were in two different NICUs 45 min apart-- crazy! Don't know when they will be home... Best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy!
