First ever BPF (20 wks, half baked! MAP) and apology

MsAmandaPantsMsAmandaPants member
edited April 2014 in Pregnant after a Loss
I want to apologize to everyone for being totally MIA the last week or so.  Work and home life have been absolutely crazy and I needed to step away a bit.  I'm hoping to be more present in the coming weeks. xoxo

I am so not a BPF girl, but half baked feels like a pretty big effing deal, so I thought I would try to mark the occasion.  I am the worst selfie picture taker ever.  Seriously, I need classes ( @mattsgirl2004 I am looking at you, who always looks totally adorable in hers!).  Anyway, here is one sad attempt trying to use my laptop camera, and another side shot from the bathroom at work (so glamorous).

OMG. Half. Baked.  I still can't even believe it.


Me: 36 yo, TTC #1 since Feb. 2012
BFP #1, 3/12, EDD 11/9/12, MMC 3/27/12, D&C 4/10/12

BFP #2: 11/16/12, EDD 7/25/13, MMC 12/5/12, D&C 12/6/12, Complete molar pregnancy confirmed 2/9/13, benched for 6 months until  August 2013

IUI #1, 8/16/13 Femara + Menopur, 3 mature follicles, BFN
IUI #2 (back-to-back, 9/12/13 and 9/13/13) Femara + Menopur, four mature follicles, BFFN
IUI #3, 10/8/13 Femara + Menopur, six mature follicles, BFN

BFP #3, 12/9/2013, while on treatment break, EDD: 8/22/2014  Please stick and grow, LO!

Additional Dx: hypothyroidism, TgAb positive & anti-TPO positive, POR/DOR (2/2013), and suspected endometriosis

    @Serenia, it is actually not a maternity dress, but a very tenty/swingy dress from Anthropologie. It is by Puella.  I don't see this exact one on their site anymore (and I scored it on sale), but this is very, very close (except for the color).

    https://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/30517007.jsp?color=009&cm_vc=SEARCH_RESULTS

    They also have a shirt/tunic version, which I also bought and love.
