Re: Deep Thoughts (not by Stewart Handy)
Here's my deep thought, which is a meditation on a paradox. My pants bother the hell out of me if they're buttoned, even with the rubber band trick, while I'm sitting down, yet fall off me standing up. How can this be???
***Losses mentioned.*** TTC #1 since May 2012. Me: 37, OH: 41. Ectopic August 2012 => tubal damage. Stage 1 endo removed June 2013. IVF #1 Oct/Nov 2013: Long Lupron with Gonal-F. 7R, 7M, 7F. 2 txfer@3d. Nothing frozen. => M/C @ 8 wks. Selected RPL panel all normal. Very hyper and brittle response to stims. IVF #2 (antagonist protocol) Feb 2014 => Converted to IUI (Perfect conditions). BFN. IVF #2.1 w/ new RE June 2014: Antagonist protocol. 33R, 31M, 30F, 19 blasts to test!!! I made it through without crashing!! Hats off to Dr. Fancypants!! ET of one 5AB blast. BFN. 13 10 CCS'ed snowflakes! FET #1 PUPO as of 7/29 Betas: 8/7@24, 8/9@97, 8/11@334 (etc.) Two sacs on 8/15, one seen on 8/18 after a bleed. U/s 8/25 (6+3) "perfect": 5.9 mm + HB@120bpm! U/s 9/4 (7+6): 15.9 mm + HB@172 bpm! Please, PLEASE stick this time!!!!
it is terrifying, and even putting aside the mental and emotional fears and turmoil, it's really hard physically (at least, i feel like it's hard...YMMV because everyone is different). it's worth it though. going at it duggar-style would NOT be worth it to me, but two kids are plenty as far as i'm concerned.

How is it that time seems to slow down more and more the closer I get to my EDD? Things sped up through the 2nd trimester and now the 3rd has gotten slower and slower.

"Darling don't be afraid. I have loved you a thousand years. I love you a thousand more."
The Duggars are freaks. Just sayin'
In other deep thoughts. Pumpkin pie is kind of like eating a vegetable, right? And ice cream is sort of like drinking milk.. So pie and ice cream for breakfast is pretty much vegetables and milk for breakfast.
My heart is as open as the sky.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
