Re: ***1st Tri Check-in 10/5 New leader needed asap***
I went shopping for maternity clothes this weekend as my pants were getting a litte uncomfortable. I also needed new work clothes as the weather is getting much cooler here, so figured I may as well buy maternity at this point. The store I went to has a fake 'bump' that gives you another 3-4 months belly. DH LOVED it, and just wanted me to wear it the whole time. It felt SO strange, but good! No other real updates for me, as my next US in on the 23rd.
QOTW: We went to Italy this summer and it was the BEST! We spent a few days on the Amalfi coast, which is absolutely breathtaking. We kayaked along the coast, walked a lot (there were 451 steps between our apartment and the town centre, so needless to say we ate all the pizza, pasta and gelato in the world and did not gain a pound). We then spent a few days in the Puglia region (where DH's maternal family is from). We met a few of his cousins out there and took a fresh pasta course on our wedding anniversary, which was fantastic. We (read DH, he's the cook in our couple) often make one of the recipes we learned. We also went to Rome, which was nice, but that wasn't our favorite part of the trip. We also went to Florida to visit DH's dad a few weeks ago and took advantage of that to escape for a few days in Key West where we also kayaked in the mangrove. That was lots of fun!
So we've had lots of travelling lately, and between that, starting my own practice (and having business expenses to worry about during the mat leave I'll be taking), the fertility treatments, and all the baby stuff, we're looking at a pretty low key babymoon, possibly a weekend in NYC or up north is a cottage. We shall see!
Good morning! I'd take the lead but I'm not sure I'd be able to keep up with it considering I've barely been remembering to check The Bump the past couple of days. (Oops!)
I haven't gotten to take a ton of awesome vacations, but I have been to Italy. I think Italy was my favorite, I definitely want to go back one day with the DH. I also enjoy vacations to Mexico, staying at all inclusive resorts. You can't go wrong with all inclusive! Right on the beach. It's so perfect and relaxing! I'm not sure about a babymoon. We had trip to Mexico planned for November for my birthday, but not that I am pregnant we want to try to cancel it because we don't really want to be so far away when I am pregnant. We will see. Even if we don't go to Mexico though, I think we might go somewhere close to home, maybe find and use a Groupon deal.

Also can you teach me how to do all the names at the beginning??? Because if I have to type all of those each week....well that probably won't happen. LOL.

We have our first u/s on Thursday morning. I'm so anxious to see what's in there and to see that this is really real.
QOTW: favorite place we've traveled was Hawaii. We went for our honeymoon and spent time on Maui and Oahu. I also have been to the big island to visit a friend YEARS ago. There's nothing I didn't like about any of the islands. I don't know if I would call this a baby moon or not, but we are taking a trip somewhere warm in January to celebrate DHs 40th birthday. I'm going to surprise him by having his cousins show up (they are his best friends) so it should be fun.

Baby moon. We have nothing planned. I do have a week off at the end of this month because we were supposed to go to Mexico but with my pregnancy we vetoed that. I'm hoping DH will still take time off so we can take our 10yo to Disneyland. My favorite vacation was to Kona, Hawaii. We went for my graduation from nursing school gift and we had the most amazing time. We loved every moment of it.
Sorry I can't take over for you @MKLEWIS2010 I use the mobile site also and plus I don't know where I can find time. I would hate to let everyone down and miss postings.
@MelenaZ That's exciting. (Seeing the twins.) I hope the worst of the morning sickness is over for you. DH and I are supposed to go to Mexico in November. Now that I'm pregnant I'm really hoping we will be able to cancel and get a full refund.
@krbjoy Your wedding/honeymoon sound like a blast! Lots of traveling to different places.

Officially diagnosed with unexplained infertility after 4 years of TTC
IUI#2 gave us DS#1 who became an angel a few minutes after birth from Noonan syndrome
IUI#4 gave us DS#2 - going strong as a toddler!
TTC again... Found a clinical trial for unexplained infertility and finished 16 weeks of "lifestyle intervention"
Cycle #1 - cancelled for ovarian cyst x3...
@KidShrink I like that picture. She sure had to take a lot of meds! I never would have thought to save them all. I threw them all in a sharps container and when it got full, I got rid of it. lol
@kistra You sounds super busy! I am sorry about the getting sick. I bet that's not fun. I've learned that I can't go until 9:00am without eating breakfast anymore (I get up at 5:00am) because I get super hungry and if I don't eat when I get hungry my stomach starts to feel off, but no getting sick of anything yet thankfully!
@naarnold The bnb thing sounds nice. I think we have some around us, that would be a fun idea. I feel the same way about buying clothes. I am going to quickly grow out of my clothes I think but I am afraid to buy anything at this point. I have a friend who is similar to my size and I am thinking about asking her if I can borrow some of her clothes.

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!Have you tried belly bands? They allow you to wear your regular pants but undone under this band of elastic fabric. Unless your shirts also don't fit, that might be a good in between. However like I said in my PP, most maternity clothes will grow with you, so even though Indon't have a huge bump (just one that made my regular clothes uncomfortable, I really don't look lost in them).
I really hope you still get to go to Italy! I'd assume you'll be fine by then (I'll have my fingers crossed for you!). Where are you guys planning on going?
