2. Anatomy scan a week from today!!!
3. In bed... Still having contractions randomly but nothing consistent so theres that.
4. DS starts his new preschool on September 15, he has been in school so it's not really a if thing, but I'm anxious cause I can't be there for him on his first day.
TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck
Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man. Born 12/2/11
TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended
Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good. Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.
Back with RE as of January 2014...
5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy
April 2015 IVF#1
5/13/15- BFP, please stick LO!
Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd
2.) first OB appt went well! He said he'd pull out the roll away ultrasound for me at every appt to check on them, so that was a huge relief! They were dancing and running laps on Friday.
3.). I think maybe my food aversions are getting better!
4.) kindergarten for my daughter next week. I'm a mess. Lots of tears already.
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Had to reschedule my appt last week for tomorrow, after I sat there waiting for 45mins with no end in sight.
3. How are you feeling lately? Tired. Always tired.
4. QOTW: It's back to school time! For those with school-age kids, has your child started back and what grade? Excited for school or no? For those with younger children, how do you think you will react when it's time for school? How involved do you plan to be (or are you) with school activities? We are waiting for kindergarten next year

Reg OB today, MFM next week. Measuring way ahead (surprise!)
Started iron supplements for anemia, so scary as with DD the pills made me extremely ill, 9y later I still remember and cringe at that sickness.Today I tried a chewable and it wasn't too bad, hopefully that works!
A bit more energy than 1st tri, but lots of pelvic pain so can't exert much.
DD started 4th grade. She was excited to get back to her friends. I cried. We have training bras and deodorant, cute dangling earrings and she picks the hairstyle.
@fuzzbumble ooohh kindergarten! Sweet and sad!
@designer303 glad the contractions have slowed. I am expecting bedrest and thinking of what I will miss, and it's sad. Fortunately it's not forever, and hopefully someone can gets cute pics and maybe a video of him for you!
@potatocastillo GL tomorrow! Hoping the appt is on time!
