  I kinda want to blow up this PIP thread will all the cute pics we have taken this week, but here are just a few…

  
  

  I've been having fun with this photo grid app - these two are from the wedding last weekend (taken after a nice poop!).

  

  And a comparison of 2 weeks and (almost) 8 weeks

  

  And finally, Bama hanging with little brother

  These are the kids that @Manada and I are "aunties" to. E is 3.5 years old and A is 9.5 months old. E is so tall and he looks like a 5 year old. A is so small; she was born a month early and is very short although adorably chubby. They are spectacular kids.
  
  For Christmas we bought them semi-matching (their sizes are too far apart to ever find actually matching) "Auntie Healy" shirts.   Here they are in them.
  
  

  ****loss discussed*****
  
  We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
  
  Our IUIs
  with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
  
  Our IVFs:
  IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
  
  IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
  BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
  2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
  BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
  1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

  
  ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
  
  FET #1 December 2014

  Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)

  BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

  ARGHHHH! ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!!

  
  

  I love the cyclical excitement of this board! I always get so excited when a baby is imminent - and then when it's born I get excited to see all the PIPs and JUST when things quiet down, there is another cute pregnant belly and the anticipation of more babies!

  
  

  Here's baby A and I at the aquarium the other day  - he LOVED it! He also provided a welcome distraction for V, who suffers from anxiety in crowds.
