~~3T Grad Check In~~

Happy Thursday, grads!

Come in and tell us how you are doing. As always we love to see pics of babies, bumps, nurseries, etc.

YouMe&Bax · February 2014

Hello ladies!! Best wishes to you all and hugs to those who need them. I have to say that I've not been able to lurk as much as I like - so I see many unfamiliar names this time around. I hope your stay here is short - and for the names I can't find - I hope this means good news. Please know that even though I'm not lurking I'm still thinking of you and the infertility community on a daily basis.

The girls are almost 5 months old. This last week they had RSV, pink eye and double ear infections. It's been an insane week of emotions - and lack of sleep. I brought them to the ER on Thursday night when they were having trouble breathing and it really hasn't stopped since. We did meds & breathing treatments at home and brought them to our respiratory clinic in the ER 2xday for 6 days. They stopped eating for a few days too - which was scary and almost had them admitted - but we fed them pedialyte via syringe and now they are back to bottles & formula. Today, thankfully, they woke up with smiles.

Even though this week has really been hard and tested me and DH - we are loving every single minute of these precious babies.

Here are pictures from this morning after breakfast. The first smiles we've seen in days! It just warmed my heart. Hopefully they will be well enough for daycare next week and we can get back on schedule.

Much love to you all

@letsgobowlingx glad you're alright!

Hey ladies. Big hugs to those that need them. I to am hoping we start to see a string of BFP's on the board.

I am 10 weeks this week. No pictures of a bump to share because there isn't anything there yet. I had 2 ultrasounds before being released from my RE and had to find an OB. I went to one last week and was really put off by the clinic. I was there 3 hours and saw the financial person/nurse/doctor for maybe 30 minutes. I really didn't feel comfortable so I found a new OB. I met the nurse yesterday and it seems like a much nicer place. I have an ultrasound in 2 weeks and can't wait to see LO again.

I bought a fetal doppler and was able to record the heartbeat tuesday morning. I am soo in love with this sound.

I hope to see you all soon over at PAIF. Lots of hugs!!

**hugs** to everyone who needs them this week.

The CVS went well on Monday and the GC called on Wed to say that the preliminary results look good and we're having a girl! The rest of the testing will take about a month...I was kind of upset to hear that since those results will determine whether or not we keep the pregnancy. I'm scared and it feels like the 2ww all over again...I want to get excited, I want to enjoy being pregnant...I just feel like I can't/shouldn't do that just yet.

Otherwise, things are going great. My first OB appt went really well...it was nice to hear the baby's heartbeat on doppler and that they consider this a "normal" pregnancy. No bump to show off, I'm still wearing my regular clothes...but I might start picking up a few things here and there.

It's been great to see some of you ladies trickling over to PAIF...fx for those of you cycling now!

Thinking of you all often and lurking daily!

I am 8 weeks and 4 days. I have my next ultrasound on March 10th and believe that to be my last appt. with my RE. I have my 1st Ob appt. 3 days later and am excited to see both babies again.

I feel sick most of the day but eating crackers and small snacks helps, as does sucking on lemon drops. Trying to stay hydrated as well. I am still struggling with fatigue and am in bed pretty early every night. It's all worth it though!

My DH is ready to paint the nursery and is already panicking that there is so much to do. I told him to take it one appt. at a time as we know things can change in a moment.

Wishing you all the best and hoping to see you ALL very soon on PAIF!

Hi All! Still lurking although fewer names look familiar, I too am hoping this is a good thing! IF is on my mind all the time- I am planning on saying something about our struggle to conceive when we announce on FB sometime in the next month, and have found out recently that another of our friends is dealing with IF as well so it seems more important than ever to be completely "out".

We had our NT scan on Monday and are doing the Integrated screening, which means no results for 6 weeks until after the second set of blood and imaging has been done. Tech said everything looked fine to her, and we really loved seeing baby in detail. I'm feeling more energetic these days and have the beginnings of a tiny baby bump. My mom was here this past weekend and brought us a bunch of cute little onesies and bibs. DH suggested we put a big screen tv in the nursery

but otherwise has been great and said he could watch sonograms "all day".

Hi ladies--I am lurking often and sending hugs... I was on this board for 2 years and know it can be an eternity but I am praying for each of you!

Nothing new to tell; we won't find out what we're having until mid-March and my PGAL brain is in full worry mode. Four weeks between appointments is hard. We heard the HB a week and a half ago... but it only shelves the worry for 24-ish hours. But we are happy.

So excited to see the BFPs and sending hugs to those who had a tough week.

@letsgobowlingx, I am in love with your bump progression shot! How did you do it? I'm assuming there is a trick as to where to have lighting but I'd love to know for sure, for when my time comes!

@essjaycee - Thanks! Yes, it's all about the lighting. DH is a construction worker so we have a spotlight on the floor behind me. You can use any light source really Like if you wanted to stand in front of a window. The light was easier for us because we could do it any time of day/night that way. I also hung a sheer curtain too just to give it more of a background. Once the picture is taken I just mess around with the brightness/contrast. I hope that helps!

That is so neat! Thanks so much.

malerina · March 2014

I love the bump progression too. Thanks for the trick!

Hi ladies!!!

((HUGS!!)) to those who need them!
19w3d here...almost half baked!! We had our anatomy scan last week and it went so perfectly well. Baby is so healthy and we found out what we are having!! We are team blue!! Eli Preston = ) We had our gender reveal with our families this evening and it was so fun and everyone was so so happy. DH even cried when we announced the name because Preston is after his late grandfather. We have our next OB appt on Wed.!

I think I figured out how to attach a photo.

Here I am at 8 weeks and 6 days......yes, I needed to get maternity clothes this weekend. These twins are already making themselves known.
