Re: ~*~ 2nd Tri Check-in (8/26) ~*~
- Any appointments or other updates? No appointments until September 4th. Still adjusting to the new house. I am very emotional about my old house. I was there for 10 years and raised my son there, getting the carpet replaced this week and hopefully we can have it on the market for the weekend. FX it does sell fast, so I can grieve the house AND we don't have a double mortgage.
QOTW: What's everyone have planned for the long weekend coming up? Going to the family cabin in the mountains. I can't wait. No cell phone access, no internet. Lots of lounging and reading.
You're kicking me out?! How am I almost in the 3rd trimester??
DS realizes that something is going on and we try and talk about the baby as much as possible. So he does "know" there is a baby in there and mentions how big my belly is! But I think he is in for a huge shock when once the baby comes, we can't give him or her back
Update: 26w3d, feeling good, not much else to update!
QOTW: This Saturday is my sister's bridal shower so we'll go out of state to stay with my parents for that. The rest of the weekend will hopefully be relaxing, maybe a bbq with DH's family.

WHOA -- Third trimester already. That seems crazy!
All is well here. I failed my one hour glucose test but passed the three hour with flying colors. That was a huge relief.
southernyankeegirl -- thanks for taking over the check in. We haven't decided on a coming home outfit yet. But people are loving buying little girl clothes so we have tons of them to choose from. I think my aunt bought the whole baby Gap. We got a huge box from her full of baby Gap clothes from size 0-3 to 12-18 months.
I am starting to feel like I am making progress. The nursery is done. We have birthing classes booked, maternity and newborn photos booked and paid for, we have a meeting with a pediatrician scheduled, and are getting closer to deciding on child care arrangements. I am starting to feel less and less anxiety about her coming. Oh and we have 3 showers coming up!
Good luck to all the second tri ladies! Looking forward to seeing you again soon on 3rd tri!
QOTW: we have a friend's baby shower on Saturday. Then no big plans. Will probably relax some depending on whether the weather cools off some.

25+6 today. I had a horrible night's sleep last night so today has been a blah day. Being over tired and hormonal has made me a weepy mess. (The irony is that today is my birthday and last year I was sad because I wasn't pregnant but this year I'm basically sad due to being pregnant.) My glucose test went fine. I haven't heard anything so I'm assuming that I passed. I really need to sign up for my doc's patient portal because I'm usually too lazy to call for results (they only call if there's a bad result). We still haven't picked a paint color yet. Hopefully soon though.
QOTW: Nothing for the most part. DH has been running like mad at work so I know he just wants to rest. His family has a yearly pool party and that is on Sunday so we'll go to that. But otherwise I think we'll just hang at home and veg.
TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.
Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!

Hi ladies! I honestly can say I couldn't be happier to be here, 2nd tri feels like a huge milestone and I'm so happy to be joining you ladies! Not to mention the awesome ladies in this thread, I see I'm in very good company
Team Purple!!!!
Hi ladies! 24w1d here, yay for VDay yesterday. However, my VDay didn’t go exactly as planned (long)……
DH was traveling for work yesterday and we were on our way to the airport in the morning. There was stop and go traffic and he was not paying attention and rear ended someone (he was driving my car). I was fine myself but then panicked because I was so worried about baby. I started hyperventilating resulting in numbness and tingling all over my body. I was brought by ambulance to the hospital and didn’t calm down until they showed me the HB in the ER. They kept me in antenatal hooked up to a heartbeat monitor for 4 hours. I also had an ultrasound. Thank god HB monitoring and US were both unremarkable, baby was moving a lot and she weighed in a whopping 1lb 6 oz. My BP was a little higher than baseline but nothing alarming. My car was banged up pretty bad (we hit an SUV) and it’s probably totaled….but that can be replaced. DH took a later flight in the afternoon and I’m staying with my in-laws this week (their house is 10 mins from my work, I also need help with the doggies).
So I showed up at work around 3pm (needed to finish up a report) and told the ladies about the accident and pregnancy together. Not exactly the reveal I planned but I’m happy that the secret is finally out!
Next appointment is in about two weeks.
QOTW: No plans, just looking forward for DH to come home and cuddle. I’m still very shaken up by the accident and it’s a little tough that he’s not around. Last night I felt baby move from the outside for the first time and can’t wait for him to experience it as well.
IVF cycle 1 (Nov 2013)- freeze all d/t OHSS
FET #1-BFN
FET #2-BFP baby girl born Dec 2014
FET #3-Sept 2017 BFP but miscarried at 6 weeks
IVF cycle 2 (Oct 2017)- freeze all again d/t OHSS
FET #1 BPF, pregnant with a singleton due Sept 2018
We're doing well - Ryan is a little ninja who keeps doing flips and kicks. He's been a bit quieter the last few days, but still during quiet moments decides to go crazy.
DH was supposed to go visit his family in Sept for a sports trip with his Dad but due to a change in work schedule he won't be able to make it. To make up for that, we are now both planning to visit for the last weekend in October. It will work out okay - there's a football game for FIL's favorite college team so he'll be thrilled to drag us to that. And MIL has just offered (read: insisted) to throw me a shower! That was actually a pretty big surprise as she barely takes notice of my niece and nephew who live 5 miles from her.
I bought a dress for a friend's wedding next weekend at WHBM (not maternity technically but works perfectly), and took an awesome bump pic in the Target dressing room while trying on work pants (note: Motherhood Maternity had wayyyyyy better professional pants). Both pics attached!
QOTW: It's actually our anniversary this weekend and DH really wants to do something big, but we thought that he'd be busy with work so now that we found out his schedule has changed, we're scrambling to find something fun to do that won't break the budget too badly!

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
- Any appointments or other updates? I had a short appointment yesterday. Baby was moving around so much the heartbeat was tricky to find, which was nerve-wracking but she finally got a good read.
Sorry I am a day late! We have been busy. Will be 21 weeks tomorrow! The nursery is coming together. We put up closet doors and dresser/nightstand from IKEA assembled. We want an IKEA crib but they have been sold out!!!!
We know the gender, but will let you guys know after our baby shower (just in case some family lurks on here). We are doing gender reveal at baby shower and plan to have my mom and mother-in-law cut the cake to reveal the gender. We figured this will also help decrease people buying us clothes/gender stuff for baby as shower gifts....we have hopes of future children and would like to be able to reuse most things.
Also just received a whopping 850 dollar bill out of nowhere for ultrasounds from my RE. I had some bleeding scares, wondering if it wasn't covered...dreading calling them. I hate infertility bills, I seriously thought we were done!!!!!!!!! Would have been nice knowing a bill was coming our way.....
QOTW: I'm working the weekend and holiday
Me: 30, DH: 32
My hx: uterus/hormones normal Dx: low AMH 0.5 = poor ovarian reserve
hubby hx: low sperm count, poor motility, started on clomid, retest in May showed no improvement, will be on clomid another 3 months, another retest scheduled for August
Started IVF #1: ~BFP Mentioned~
@southernyankeegirl Thanks for being he new leader!
I am now 21w2d. We had the a/s yesterday. Went great! We are still team blue. Little man was upside down again and wouldnt move. Had no problem showing off he is a boy but it was an act of God to get the heart, valves, etc. The tech has us all laughing. My hubby and mom both went.
Hubby has a 5 day weekend, I have a 4- Thursday he is starting to paint the nursery. Friday we are going to Ikea, Saturday we are going to the delta- my parents are in a local boat club, Im hoping to bbq/relax either Sunday or Monday. And start organizing the nursery and our home. A little crazy right now. We have too much stuff! Haha

Now: Canyon James born 12/30/14 at 6:21pm via emergency c section. 9 lbs 19 1/2 inches
AFM: I'm 19w today! The a/s went sorta great yesterday. She wouldn't cooperate and just wanted to be curled up in a ball. They were able to see most things despite that but we have to go back on 9-11 to check a few more things. Because of her position the tech wasn't able to get any good pics. Hopefully next time, I'll have a nice pic to share
QOTW: so up till now, we've gone through our clothes, shoes, my bags, makeup and just about all the misc crap we've accumulated over the past 7.5 years. This weekend will be about finishing up with my books - hopefully getting them into boxes until the rooms are all painted and finished. I'm kinda dreading it but I know I have to do it and now is better than later. We'll probably also see family in between cleaning.

Hi ladies! So happy to see all the great updates!
@southernyankeegirl I love your check-ins! I did find an almost brand new Bob Dualie for $200! Picking it up today if it fits in my trunk lol.
AFM: I am 16w1d today & feeling good! Still getting random headaches and feeling some stomach pains, but really everything is good! My bump is finally looking like a real bump. I have my first apt. w/ my new OB Friday & I can't wait! Hoping to find out sexes
QOTW: We have a bunch of family stuff planned this weekend. Also, if we find out sexes, my gf & I are going to Ikea/Joanne's to pick out color scheme ideas!

I had a growth scan last week and both babies are weighing about 1lb 13oz.
