Nothing new- I see regular OB and MFM on alternating EOW schedule now, this is an off week.
Hot flashes and hard time getting comfortable at night. Getting up for a snack seems to help! (Helps with packing on the weight too!)
QOTW: Nothing saved at all. These are DH first (and only, haha) and our family and friends are, thankfully, throwing showers. I feel a little awkward as I've always heard you only have a shower with your first baby, but then I am overwhelmingly appreciative because with triplets, we could really use the head start!

1. 11w3d
2. Saw my OB Friday and everything was great. He's letting me come back again this Friday (week 12) because he knows how paranoid I've been. We *may* announce the pregnancy if everything looks good at this one.
3. Big news! Yesterday was my last PIO shot! I cannot believe I'm done with shots after months and months and hundreds of pokes throughout this whole experience. My fatigue is getting better too.
4. I saved a few things, but not much. I knew if I would have more children, the new addition would be much younger than my son (the boys will be 5 1/2 yrs apart) and they always come out with new, cool stuff.

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...

4. QOTW: Do you have any saved baby items, or is it time to buy all new for this LO? Ugh... I got rid of everything that freaking mattered when IVF3 didn't work. I was so sure we were done. Well there you go. Make plans.
