Re: ***Second Trimester Check In May 13th***
Qotw: we opened our pool this past week and I put all my seeds in for my flowers. I'm a big gardener. This year I'm holding back because I don't think I'll have the energy by July. I'm going to put in my peppers and tomatoes this week.
Baby boy has flipped and is now head down too, and is tipping the scales at 1#11oz. Baby girl is 1#9oz and holding her own. They're moving like crazy. And I figured out I can get them to kick on command with sour gummies
QOTW- @Justone13 you seriously put me to shame with your skills. We're mid-move, so I'm not getting to enjoy any outdoor time right now. And I'm outdoorsy as in I like drinking on patios. Lawn chairs are my friend.

I am 25 weeks today! I have my glucose test coming up on 6/1, and everything else is going well. My major discomfort right now is my underwear. I hate them! No matter what kind I wear I feel like they move around and are totally irritating me. We are working on the nursery. My mom is painting a princess mural on the wall ( she does this professionally). We are also waiting to order our furniture, because the set I want doesn't come out until 6/22.
QOTW: I have been spending a lot of time outside walking, taking DS to the park and sitting outside eating ice cream at night
.

CD 3 blood work for me. RE does not want to repeat my HSG/lap at this point,
but may want to before moving forward with any fertility treatments.
After seeing the uro, DH is currently taking lots of supplements and clomid to try to boost his count. We will have a repeat SA in February to see if it works.
Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1%
Uro wants us to have another follow up SA 5/9 to see if we see further improvement than we are back to the RE to make a game plan.
SA 5/9/2014 Count: 12 Million, Motility: 60%, and Morphology 2%. We will be doing iui #1 in late June
IUI #1 6/28 clomid + ovidrel, post wash count 3 million total sperm= BFN

*****Everyone is welcome******
17 Weeks tomorrow!
I have the 2nd round of bloodwork for the NT scan this Wednesday after that nothing until the first week of June! I wish i could have a sonongram everyday to make sure all is good in there!
Please add me to the check in. I'm 14+3 today with one LO. No clue what I'm having yet of course. My due date is November 10th.
Next appt is Monday and I can't wait to hear a heart beat to calm these overactive nerves. Perhaps they will allow me to have an ultrasound for good measure?!
QOTW: Our anniversary is this weekend so we plan to hang out downtown (Chicago) and take in the scenery. Hoping the weather cooperates.
