~~ 3T Grad Check In ~~

Good morning!

Come in and give us an update! As always we live pics of nurseries, bumps, etc.

QOTW: what's your favorite book? (Children's book or adult book)

ttuprincess · April 2014

Hi, ladies. I lurk on you all constantly and am rooting for each of you. Sending lots of ((hugs)) to those who needs them.

I will be 9 weeks on Saturday! Seems kind of crazy. I have my next ultrasound on Tuesday. I can't wait. Other than that nothing new and exciting. I have really been struggling with my migraines and the fact that I can't take anything for them. I am hoping that lets up soon.

QOTW: Hmmmm....my favorite kids book is "If you give a mouse a cookie." I used to read to kids at the children's hospital in college and I always brought my copy to read to them. My favorite adult book is probably A Time To Kill. I read it about once a year. My copy is about to fall apart at this rate.

Hi 3T! I had my 12 week appointment on Tuesday and my dr was just going to check on the baby with the doppler. But she couldn't pick up the HB (she said she could hear the baby moving though), so we got another US and it was awesome! The baby was moving all over the place flipping around and turning and kicking and waving arms, she said, that's why we couldn't hear the HB, you have a little acrobat on your hands! I've never seen the baby move on an US before, it was so cool. And I'm 12w2d today, so I'm 1 day more pregnant than I've ever been before. For the first time with this pregnancy I feel myself starting to relax a little and start to get cautiously excited.

I still check on you all daily. I know that there were some BFNs this week, sending hugs to you all. Hope that everyone else is having an OK week and hope to see lots of you on PAIF soon!

ETA- QOTW my favorite book is Jane Eyre. My favorite children's books when I was younger were Beatrix Potter books.

Hi Ladies! Lurking and praying as always for each of you- I especially have enjoyed reading about everyone's experiences coming out for NIAW. I got the go ahead from DH to do the same, but I do have a question for you: he was wondering if it might be insensitive or hurtful to post about infertility as a pregnant person- what do you all think? The last thing I want to do is make someone's pain worse, and I personally don't think it would, but I love that he's trying to be as thoughtful as possible so I said I would ask.

We are doing great- tiny dancer is dancing all day now, but DH still can't feel anything and I think it's really frustrating him. He does not, however, mind putting his hand down my pants all the time, so there's that

We decided on a Beatrix Potter themed nursery. The registry is coming along, and I'm working on getting some summer maternity wear so I don't melt for the next 5 months. I'm 20 weeks and 3 days today- pic was taken on Easter Sunday. Hugs to you all!

Congrats to all the grads, hope you're all doing well!!

@letsgobowlingx - your pictures are stunning!!

Hi ladies! Lurking and rooting for you as always!

11w6d! We had out NT scan this morning and the baby just did not want to cooperate! S/he was just wiggling away in there so it took the RE a good 15 minutes before he was finally able to get a good picture! But everything looked great! We'll get the blood test results back next week at our last RE appt. We also officially announced today!

QOTW - I am a huge Dr. Seuss fan, my favorite is one fish two fish red fish blue fish! (Although are you my mother is a close second!)

@tippytoes06 - cute announcement!!

YouMe&Bax · April 2014

Hey ladies - hope all is going well - I've been keeping up with you all on a more bi-weekly/monthly basis. I just can't let go of 3T yet - it still means so much to me all of the support I found here while struggling with IF.

Also (un)Happy NIAW!!! I'm just getting ready to post my big FB post about the week to do my part to help raise awareness.

As for the update - the girls are 6.5 months old now and loving life! Isla is way more laid back than Zara. She just smiles at the world while Zara is more likely to figure out a way to tell you exactly what she wants. They have started sitting, and are on solids now too. They are growing up way too fast - but I'm loving and cherishing every moment. I've finally gotten back into the swing of things being a working mom - and DH has been an amazing father/supporter - we are really figuring out co-parenting and I love it!!

I wish you all the best - and I'm definitely still checking in and cheering you on quietly from the sidelines!

jencity9 · April 2014

Oh my goodness I LOVE everyone's pictures!!!

@Lizarella82‌ I don't think it's insensitive! Like @NariaDreaming‌ said you guys fought a battle to get where you're at and it is still something that you experienced.

haloform · April 2014

Hi ladies!

This is my first time checking in, but I still read 3T most days and am silently rooting for you all! I didn't have a super long time to get to know everyone, but I found this board to be very helpful and comforting while we were going through the process of beginning to work with an RE and try medication.

I found out last week that I'm pregnant- the Femara actually worked, which, to be honest, kind of blew my mind. I guess I just did not expect it to work so quickly, but I'm incredibly thankful that it did! Right now I'm 4w6d, and had two betas last week at the RE - results were good, had about a 24 hour doubling time. May 6th we'll have our first ultrasound!

I'm enjoying everyone's pictures!

QOTW: My favorite adult book is Vurt, by Jeff Noon. It's a science fiction book, and I actually have a tattoo inspired by it. I remember my favorite children's book being Bread and Jam for Frances.

Lizarella82 · April 2014

Thank you all so much for your responses and your encouragement!

Say1009 · April 2014

Hello Lovely ladies! Always keeping you ladies in my thoughts and prayers!

I am officially into 3rd Tri and I can't believe how fast this is going! I am definitely feeling the 3rd tri pains. I feel pretty uncomfortable all the time, but I know it's all worth it. I have my 28w OB appt this coming Wed. where I will do the glucose test. I have my first baby shower tomorrow!! I can't believe it!! This is a picture of the nursery so far. My DH free hand painted the walls and I am just amazed at how beautiful it turned out! I can't wait to get everything up on the walls!

QOTW: my favorite childrens book, which can also be an adults book is "The Giving Tree". I just love it.

Hi Ladies!

I am sorry for being absent for a bit. I am going to be 17 weeks tomorrow. We just found out we are having boys! Yes, both twins are boys! Onto the name game I guess!

Sadly, I was put on 2 weeks of medical leave from work on 4/24. I was dehydrated and had high blood pressure. I am monitoring from home and need to up my fluids as well as take some quiet time for myself away from teaching......VERY hard to do. Glad to be at home at least. I had had 2 bouts of the D-word in one week and also lost 4 lbs. Very scary and upsetting. Doing better with blood pressures at home though and am happy about that.

I am posting a picture taken last Tuesday on the 1st day of week 16.

Miss you all and am still rooting for you! Keep the faith! It's worth the journey!.....and the at home rest. LOL

QOTW: My favorite children's book is THE GIVING TREE by Shel Silverstein. I also am a HUGE ANNE OF GREEN GABLES fan!

YAY FOR BOYS!!!! And I knew there was a reason I liked you ;-) I re-read AoGG series (yes, all 8 books) probably every other year.

Me too! Yes, I even have an AoGG movie marathon once a year!

I realized I missed this last week, so I am way late...but wanted to say @letsgobowlingx I love your pics!
