Ok wow, lots of new posts to catch up on!
Pinkie- so glad that your results came out good. What a sigh of relief! We haven't bought anything yet and I don't plan to until babies are born. I'm too superstitious.
Beemeck- glad you're feeling more positive, I really hope you're baby will be alright.
Praying- that's a real bummer when people are less excited for you. That's really upsetting
Ellicain- darn people! I sort of want to tell people that I conceived through IVF so that they know what a huge miracle it is. But then again, I want my privacy.
I think you're definitely correct, those of us who struggle with getting pregnant don't take children for granted. They are a gift!
Rq- wow a move with new little twinnies, sounds stressful! Indiana is so close to us, we drive through Indiana almost every weekend on our way to Michigan.
I plan on only taking off 8 weeks because it's too expensive to take off more and my job really needs me. If I'm away there's no one to run payroll or do billing.
How does FMLA work? In Illinois there's no paid maternity coverage. Is FMLA for all states?
As far as shopping, we have a lot of baby gear from our 4 year old but will need more.
Need a second crib but my mom has 1 so we'll take it from her (of course only after she finds out its twins)
Need two car seats since my other one is already expired
Need a double stroller
New breast pump
1 highchair (I have 1 saved)
We have toys and a baby swing and I'm sure I'll get some stuff as gifts.
