~~ Grad Check In ~~ 9/25

It's that time again!

QOTW: do you have a favorite baby Halloween costume or outfit idea for this or next year?

formerwigirl · September 2014

Hey Ladies,

First of all lots of hugs to those that need them. Congrats to the recent BFPs.

I had my LO on Friday at 8:07pm. We were Team Green Turned Team Blue when little Conner joined us weighing just 6lbs and 18inches long. I was kinda surprised by how small he is.

My birth story is posted over on PAIF. I can't get the link to post for some reason. I'll attach some pictures, I hope you enjoy!

QOTW: We were waiting to find out what team we were before getting a halloween costume. Now we need to find something because we are going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party in a month. Anyone have any suggestions for such a tiny guy?

Hey guys! FYI - I am the poster formerly known as kmdecoux. I changed my SN because it was way too close to my email address and actual name and because internet safety.

We had our first u/s this Monday and although it was too early for a heartbeat we did at least confirm the placement and the yolk sac. I felt like I should have been further along than what I was measuring at, but I guess it's possible that more than one follicle released and egg and that I just implanted late. I'm trying very hard not to stress out about it until next Monday when we go for a follow up. FX we get a heartbeat this time.

QOTW: DH loves Halloween and wants to have a different costume for every day of the week. But no, we don't know exactly what we will do yet. He's pretty fond of this one though:

Hey Ladies!! Happy for those with BFPs and always rooting for everyone!

QOTW- fave baby costume would definitely be a lobster! so adorable. a pumpkin is a close second.

gsancho · September 2014

Hello! I had my 2nd u/s on Monday (at 8 weeks) and got released to an OB. So even with some spotting still going on, it looks like things are progressing.

I don't have a baby costume in mind since I'm not showing yet and won't have a baby. But I do love Halloween. Last year I saw someone dressed as a flying monkey from Wizard of Oz and the baby dressed as Dorothy - I thought that was pretty funny. Or maybe I'd be Lisa Vanderpump and the baby could be Giggy (shout out to anyone else who watches RHOBH).

ky29 · September 2014

According to my ER/ET dates.. I'm 5 weeks today. I've had some cramping and light spotting, so I'm going back tomorrow for a 3rd beta. First ultrasound is scheduled for 10/6... Seems like so far away!!

QOTW: I'm not there yet. But my brother was born a week before Halloween.. And his 11 lbs of baby was a pretty big pumpkin!

ttuprincess · September 2014

Hi, ladies.

I will be 31 weeks on Saturday and everything is still moving along just fine. Had a surprise baby shower on Tuesday and am going to see my family and friends in Texas for a shower this weekend.

I love seeing all the new bfps over here!

QOTW: I haven't thought about it since my LO won't be here for Halloween yet. I do dress my dogs up every year though. That is always fun. I will edit to post some pictures of them.

ETA pictures of the pups at Halloween.

Hi ladies!!! Miss you all.

@RammerJammer‌ - good luck with the cervix! At least they caught the issue to monitor it.

So thrilled to see all these relatively new Grads! Yayyy! Hoping for a tidal wave to sweep everyone else into PAIF soon ;-)

All well here - visiting my parents this weekend for my baby shower! Only 23w3d (edit: apparently I mentally skipped a week.... 24w3d, and now viable!) so it's a bit early for a shower (I think @Milagros315‌ and I both have the earliest showers on the Jan15 BMB, as we both are visiting family this weekend for that purpose). However, since I had to fly here solo, I wanted to do it early enough that I knew I would most likely be up for the trip.

I will AW next week ;-)

QOTW: I haven't really thought too much about it recently, but I have been pinning baby costumes for soooo long on Pinterest! I think for next year, DH and I have Mario and Luigi costumes we wore a few years ago - we talked about resurrecting those and dressing baby Ryan up as Toadstool! With a little mushroom hat! So cute, right?!

KimL725 · September 2014

Hey everyone! So exciting to see so many bfps lately! @ttuprincess‌ I love the pics of your dogs haha. We have dressed our cats up but it never lasts long.
I'm 11w2d today. We had our first ob appt yesterday which went very well. The baby actually looked more human than blob on the ultrasound which was so cool to see.
I honestly haven't thought of Halloween costumes yet- I still can't wrap my head around really anything we need to do to get ready for this baby yet. I'm due in April though so that will give me plenty of time.
Hugs to all that need them this week. Let's keep this trend of new grads going!

Pintobean39 · September 2014

As of today I'm still pregnant, should be 5 weeks tomorrow. My second beta doubled in 42 hrs, much faster than my other pregnancies of 60-70 hrs. They checked my lining, it's still 14-15mm and the blood flow to my uterus and cervix is good. I have no real symptoms, my boobs are a little sore and I pee a little more but that's about it. I need symptoms Damit!!!!! I go back to the RE Tuesday for another us and blood work.

QOTW: I can't think that far a head, I'm just trying to take one day at a time right now.

MrsS728 · September 2014

I'm 8 weeks and pregnant with triplets (set of identical and one single). Nausea is horrible. I'm' exhausted and just irritable. We go in on Monday for our 4th U/S and 1st with the MFM (high risk doctors). We've decided to have genetic testing done one the babies since there are 3 right now. We don't feel that it is fair to the other babies if one is not healthy.

Edit: We also heard Baby B's heartbeat last week!!!!

QOTW: do you have a favorite baby Halloween costume or outfit idea for this or next year? Since we are having triplets we are so doing the three little pigs next Halloween!!!

shirleymaeby · September 2014

@MrsS728 - I'm so happy you seem to be in a better place this week. Three little pigs is the cutest idea ever. I very much hope that either you or DH will be the Big Bad Wolf??

She's gotta be Little Red Riding Hood and her DH the Big Bad Wolf - two fairy tales in one family costume! ;-)

I couldn't help feeling that this is the happiest I've ever been in my entire life.

I am mobile so I can't bold so I just left the part I loved best from what you posted.... holy cow, cue the waterworks. Seriously crying for you reading this! So damned happy to hear such wonderful news. Congratulations on your daughter!

I can't wait to see pictures. I know it can be complicated to share pictures of your LO online, but I will greedily beg for even cute feet or tiny hand pictures if that's all you want to share ;-)

catlover790 · September 2014

Hi everyone! I'm so happy we have some more bfps lately! Congrats! Still lurking a lot, and rooting for you all!

I'm 9w6d today and I had my last appointment at the RE. Everything looked good; baby measured 10w1d and heartbeat was around 165. I was so relieved to see that everything was still okay (that PAIF brain is still there) and the baby was moving his/her hands around, it was so cute. I'm a little sad to be leaving the RE; I decided to switch OBs so I haven't actually met them yet my appointment is on the 8th. I hope I like the new dr!

We told one couple friends (I'm friends with the wife and my H is friends with her H) today. They recently had a baby so they seemed happy to have a friend for their baby soon. They can be a little obnoxious sometimes (aka self centered) and actually asked us how long we were trying for!! I just kind of said, well we just sort of winged it. No one knows about our TTTC, and I'm glad they don't know because they would not be understanding. Sorry, rant over!

I'm very happy that things are progressing and measuring well, I still think sometimes about how lucky I am to be here. Actually after I left the RE I just was crying and so overwhelmed because I know how lucky I am at this moment.

QOTW: I love all the cute costumes! I think if we have a girl I'd have to make her be a litte kitty cat! I do like the family costume ideas, so maybe a toy story (woody, Bo peep, and baby lamb) too.

Hugs! :x

CarSaidYes · September 2014

Hi guys! I am 4w3d today. Kinda scared at the moment. Progesterone was at 11.4 as of yesterday. My RE said it's adequate and since I've been on the suppositories 2x a day since the morning after my IUI should be okay. I guess those levels aren't reflected in the blood. Just trying to keep my head up and be positive. My 1st u/s is scheduled for 10/9! It feels so far away! Just praying and hoping for the best.

QOTW: haven't really looked in to the Halloween costumes for babies yet. Trying to not get consumed at this point. Just sticking to the bump and a few pregnancy books. But here's a pic of my puppy son last year. He dressed up as nemo. Sorry the pic is kinda blurry!

Champs28 · September 2014

Hi ladies!!! Had my first u/s this week but like other too early for a heartbeat. Confirmed yolk sac and that the pregnancy is in the uterus though! Any my huge septum is definitely gone

No ideas on Halloween baby costumes but I always love a pumpkin baby!

Can I play here? Our sweet little L was born Monday 9/22 7 lbs and 17.5 inches long. We were so fortunate to spend time in the hospital with L and her birth mother. I can't say enough good things about L's birth mother, she is a lovely person. I am so sad she had to make the decision that she did but feel so blessed she chose us. At least she seemed at peace with her decision. We are so lucky to have had such an amazing adoption process. We are head over heels in love with our beautiful daughter. We're still working on the kinks of L not wanting to sleep unless one of us is holding her. But B and I are taking it in shifts so we each get some sleep. We went on our first excursion walking to the park yesterday. L did great and I couldn't help feeling that this is the happiest I've ever been in my entire life. Sorry that was so long. Rooting for all of you and hope you get your BFPs soon!!

This is an amazing update, I'm so glad that the adoption process went so smoothly for you. Congratulations!!

MrsS728 · September 2014

shirleymaeby Thank you for your thoughts. I'm still very scared and we don't know how we can afford 3 babies all at once. Simply put (We can't!!!) I never in a million years thought this would be something we'd have to worry about. We have an apt on Monday with the MFM (multiples specialist) and we will hopefully know more then. Right now, it's day to day.

I hope you are doing well too. :-)
