Are you more sentimental now compared to before baby?
I feel like I am. I spend time reminiscing about this time last year. It makes my heart happy thinking about how this time last year I spent Thanksgiving and my birthday announcing to the world DH and I were expecting twins. And now they are here. There is just so much to be thankful for this year. Also, I've never been a crier and I always feel a little choked up at the memories and at others joy.
~TTC since July 2010~
CD3 Bloodwork:Normal
HSG-Clear
SA:Low Morph
IVF with ICSI #1: ER 12/16 (4 ER/3 Mature/0 Fertilized)

IVF with PICSI #3: ER 9/8 (11 ER/8 Mature/7 Fertilized)/ET 9/13 (2 AA blastocysts transferred)
Yep for sure! You have a different appreciation for parenting then you did before kids. And the fact that the love you feel for them is almost unexplainable how much you love them and you would jump in front of a car for them.
Married: 5/09 ~ TTC Since: 10/10 ~ PCOS ~ Progesterone from 10/10 - 2/11 ~ HSG on 3/18 - Clear ~ Started Metformin 1000mg & Clomid 50mg 2/11 ~ Metformin upped to 1500mg 4/6 ~ 6/7 Now going to SG and put on Clomid, Ovidrel, Gonal F, Prometrium, Estrace ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP!!!!!! March 6th our little man was born.
6/17/13 - Ovidrel, Follistim, Prometrium ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP! March 17th our St. Pattys day baby arrived
10/29/17 - Started process for IVF, got pregnant & miscarried a 2nd time since summer. 2/22 started stims - Menopur, Gonal F, Cetrotide - retrieval 3/6 - , PIO, estrace 3xday - FET 4/18 = Beta 1: 616; Beta 2: 1342 = BFP
Agreed - DH and I are both sentimental saps! We get all teary eyed over her milestones, looking back at old photos of her (haha...."old" is 7 months ago), etc. We just had our first Thanksgiving meal with part of our family and I'm sappy after it too. I think IF is such a surreal process, and so is being a parent, that it's hard not to be a big ol' sap!
MF (low motility) - Began stims for IVF#1 7/21/12
ER 8/2/12 - 14 eggs retrieved, 12 mature and ICSI'd, 6 fertilized. ET 8/7 - 2 embies. Beta#1 8/17: 143! Beta#2 8/20: 590! Beta#3 8/22: 1,162! 1st US 9/4: one beautiful little bean with the best sounding HB I've ever heard!
I was okay until her first birthday, now I'm kind of a wreck. It doesn't help that I have an app that shows me throwback photos and so many of them are of my little squishy newborn, who is now acting like a toddler.
