Re: ~*~ 3T Grad Check In 8/7 ~*~
:-h Hi, ladies!
Not much new and exciting to report this week. We worked on the nursery over the weekend. We put together the crib and the glider! This weekend we will work on the dresser and changing table topper. Baby is moving all the time. I can feel her constantly. I enjoy it most of the time -- unless I am trying to go to sleep and she is kicking up a storm.
Here is a pic of the nursery so far. Her comforter isn't in yet so I just put a blanket on there to see how it looks.
I am still stalking you ladies always and wishing you each the best!
QOTW: We are telling people. We are not good with secrets. We have agreed on Madison as a first name, but we are undecided on a middle name so far.

Baby girl arrived on Thanksgiving day weighing 7lbs 6oz and measuring 20 inches
Hi Everyone!
Missing you all and rooting for you! I had my u/s today at my clinic and waiting for my RE to call me with more details but the tech thought the baby was measuring at 8w exactly and I got to see the heartbeat today for the first time!
QOTD: We are not sure. We haven't talked about names yet (although we technically did/agreed on some before we were even married) but we haven't really talked about it too much. Not sure if were are Team Green yet either. If we are team green maybe we will share a few "ideas" but if we do share the gender, I can't see us sharing the name. Plus, my SIL did the whole FB name idea share and everyone hated the name she liked the best and ultimately went with, but she didn't like everyone's negative opinions... so I definitely won't do that although that's not really my style anyway.
Thinking of you all and lots of hugs and positive vibes for those who need them!
Me: 29, DH: 30
Married: April, 2011; TTC: July, 2012
Dx: MFI; June '14 IVF w/ ICSI: 11R, 8M, 5F... 1 5dt, beta #1: 213, beta #2: 621, beta #3: 8545!
I'm at 21 weeks...nothing really going on. Felt some kicks but nothing definite. We are painting the nursery this weekend...so excited! Pale sage and white furniture.
QOTW: We have names finally...we struggled with a boys name but have always had a girls name. We're not finding out so we needed both!
@jencity9 : good luck!!!! Let me know if you have IVF questions!
@rammerjammer ... I love your colors. We had the same issue...nice name, terrible initials!
Tomorrow I'll be 6 weeks. I have had several more betas since that one very slow rise early on. Generally the numbers are doubling, though they're a little on the slow side of normal, so of course I'm nervous. I have my first ultrasound tomorrow, and I'm hoping to at least see a gestational sac in an appropriate location.
QOTW: We haven't talked about names at all, ever. However, I'd imagine we'd tell people ahead of time. But who knows?? :-)
I miss you guys. I lurk all of the time and I'm always cheering you on.
Graduated from our RE & met our new OBGYN today. Got to see the gummy bear again, super active! Such a wiggler! We did our Materniti21 screen, some other genetic screening, and the standard 1st trimester screening. Now we wait a week to get results, but they will also be able to tell us if it's a bit or girl! I'm super excited. We go back in a week for the NT scan. I feel super spoiled, we've had 4 ultrasounds already! I'll be 11w tomorrow and everything is measuring on schedule. We'll be formally announcing once we get the clear on the genetics! I'm feeling great!
QOTW- Not sure yet!!!
I tried to attach photos, but I'm mobile & it's not working.
