Pregnant after IF

Saying hi and sharing pictures!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I can't believe my girls are 5 weeks old already! They are still in the NICU and will be until February most likely, but they are doing really well. Lorelei has put on almost a pound, and Amelia has put on a half pound. They are doing really well with breathing, both girls are back and forth from needing no breathing support at all to needing just the lowest level of support. They are starting to take bottles, and they are becoming much more alert and interested in our faces. If anyone is interested, I started a blog chronicling the girls' progress and our NICU journey. It is https://www.thenashlings.wordpress.com. Below are some pics for you, the first two are of Lorelei and the second two are Amelia. I hope you are all doing well, I wish you the best of luck with the remainder of your pregnancies and deliveries!
TTC since June, 2011 with anovulatory PCOS, 1 blocked tube, and mild MFI
3rd cycles clomid + Ovidrel = BFN
4th cycles letrozole/Ovidrel + IUI = BFN
IVF #1 = BFP! Twins due 2/5/2014
