  • 1. How many weeks along are you? 9w1d

    2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Nope. Pelvic rest until next Thursday 12/11 when I get U/S to check SCB.

    3. How are you feeling lately? I throw up at least daily now, sometimes more, and had two dizzy spells. I thought maybe this time around wouldn't be as bad with sickness but I think it was too early to judge. 

    4. QOTW: How & When did you tell your other child/children that you were expecting? We haven't told DD yet. She is 3.75, will be 4 in March and she is a) a blabbermouth and b) has no concept of time, so I want to try to wait until Christmas (12+ weeks) to tell her so she doesn't have to wait forever to see my belly grow, etc. I ordered a Big Sis shirt and Big Sis books to wrap.

  • 1. How many weeks along are you? 15 weeks 2 days

    2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Dr appt this afternoon, test results came back, baby is very healthy (they called me yesterday). We have our gender reveal party Saturday, so Dr knows to not say boy/girl today, lol.

    3. How are you feeling lately? Feeling good, not as tired, but I feel more aches/pains. Anxiously awaiting baby movements.

    4. QOTW: How & When did you tell your other child/children that you were expecting? We told our son pretty early on, once we know everything looked good. He is 4, and when we told him there was a baby in my belly, he said, no that's food in there! Ha! Then he said he wanted to go to the baby store & buy a boy baby. Now that I am really popping out, he likes to scream "Hi baby" to my stomach, it's pretty funny...

    My History:
    Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
    Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
    Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
    Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
    Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
    About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!

    1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.
  • 1. How many weeks along are you? 5w3d (by my calculation of EDD Aug 2)

    2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)?
    Ultrasound this morning - twins!  I'm trying not to stress about one gestational sac being smaller than the other.  Heading into a new TWW - until my next ultrasound - praying that I see two heartbeats on 12/17.  This is also the time period coming up in the pregnancy where I had a miscarriage last year so I'm trying to not worry.

    3. How are you feeling lately?
    Since it's a twin pregnancy, the doctors think the OHSS may not let up for a while (lucky me).  I can feel the fluid sloshing around in there which is a little gross.  They confirmed on ultrasound that I am still retaining a lot of fluid.  But compared to my first pregnancy, I really don't have any pregnancy symptoms.  Everything is masked by the discomfort of the OHSS.

    4. QOTW: How & When did you tell your other child/children that you were expecting? 
    DD was with us at the ultrasound this morning, but I don't think she fully understands what is going on.  I really don't want to get her too excited about things until we are a little further along.  (Haunting of the specter of infertility in my crazy brain)

  • Weeks- 28

    Medical updates- u/s this morning shows baby's kidneys are still dilated but we still think that will fix itself over next month or so :) glucose test went fine, hoping for good results from that! Next appt Dec 19th and 20th we are doing sneak a peek as part of free package I won a couple years ago.

    Feeling/ tired, groggy, need some energy, need to get some final cleaning done so we are ready, but at same time just entered third trimester so am happy knowing I have sometime- but don't want to risk not getting it done and all either!

    4- we told DD as soon as we had to tell others, specifically mil. She is a tad crazy so we waited til right before vacation when she'd find out bc I couldn't do somethings or ms gave it away. Dd was almost 3 and has big mouth too!

  • 1. How many weeks along are you? 
    28 weeks. Hello 3rd Trimester. Wahoo!

    2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? 
    Hmmmm. I was taken from work via ambulance about a week and a half ago due to contractions and sharp pain where my hernia is. Due to the pain from the hernia and my knee, doctor has put me on modified bed rest. I will likely have 2-3 surgeries after the birth of DS before I go back to work, so that should make things interesting with a newborn. I have my glucose test tomorrow, so hoping for positive results! 

    3. How are you feeling lately? 
    I do feel better physically being home, however, emotionally and mentally it is taking a toll on me. I am trying to keep my spirits up, but it gets really boring. My pain has lessened, however, it is not completely gone. Just trying to make it to the end with some sanity. 

    4. QOTW: How & When did you tell your other child/children that you were expecting?
    DD found out pretty early on. She picked up on the change in eating habits. She noticed that I wasn't drinking Coke as much. She started to question things. So, she found out pretty early on around 8 weeks. She did great and kept it a secret until we gave her the go ahead. I was pretty proud of her. I told her at PF Changs when she questioned why I did not order a particular item. :)

    Glad to see and get updates from all you graduates!
