Re: ***2IF Grad Check-in 10/5***
24w 3d
Regular OB appointment today, expecting to schedule my Glucose screen.
I feel good and baby girl is kicking away, she only sleeps when I am up and moving. Which is pretty much how her big brother was, so I am definitely getting a new moby wrap because I am guessing she will want to be held non stop which I am so looking forward to.
ohhh this is a tough one, I love a good beef stew, but meatloaf and mashed potatoes is way up on the list too. Ok now I'm hungry

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

Saw MFM last week. All are on track, nearly 4lbs of babies in there.
Realizing limitations and honestly, I've never been so big! I'm painting a changing table, and I found a sturdy box to sit on in my garage. It was not quite as sturdy as I thought and I fell in, and could not get out! Probably not my brightest moment. I've had more pelvic pain, heartburn, and nausea/vomiting episodes at least once a day.
QOTW: I love chili! And DH makes an amazing seafood gumbo! (Heartburn city tho)

1. Honestly I'm now confused by this...should I be calculating from IUI day or LMP???
2. 1st ultrasound on Thursday...hurry up Thursday and get here!!
3. Feel good. Not as tired as I was before, but boobs are getting fuller and bigger by the day! (This makes DH happy)
4. I love butternut squash soup...could literally eat the whole pot of it myself!

Next visit is October 30 for anatomy scan. Cannot get here soon enough. It will be the longest wait between ultrasounds ever and I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it.
Feeling ok, just anxious. SCH is still there as of Monday. Dr thinks it's smaller from eyeballing, but still getting brown spotting every few days which is enough to freak me out plenty. I just wish it would go away so I can relax a bit.
I love holiday food. We got a turkey and stuff to go with it this past weekend and had an early thanksgiving. It was delicious.
2. Appointment with u/s this week!
3. Exhausted and still a bit queasy
4. QOTW: Wonton soup!
