IVF Oct/Nov/Dec BFP Announcement & 9month term thread!

[HappyBunnyAB]

Want congratulations to your SIL! I'm going to assume you are next!

 

[Whisper82]

I agree! Want is next in line! Good luck with your appointment Want! And grats to your SIL.

Happy - You are right there too! I'm not sure if I should be hoping for you to hold out till your scheduled c-section or if I should be hoping for you to get a break from all this discomfort a little early. FX everything goes the best possible way!

Hold - You're still hanging in there. Way to go!

Sandoval - Hope you're feeling ok.

Wanna - heading over to check your journal after this.

AFM - Rose is finally making real headway! She has been taking all of her feedings by mouth and DH is taking her carseat in so she can do the carseat test today. FX she is home by the end of the week! I am so relieved she is doing better. I wasn't able to see her for a couple of days because of having to take care of Lili and then when I did see her, she had grown so much! I want her to come home so I don't have to keep missing her milestones.

 

[michelle01]

Wanna - I am so sorry and thinking about you I hope things start looking up for Elijah.

want - Congrats on your SIL and you are right behind her

Happy - I am thinking your twinnies may be coming before your scheduled section! Happy 36 weeks

Whisper - Great news on Rose and hoping she gets home soon I am sure once she is home, it will be great having both girls with you!!

Sandoval - How are you doing?

Hold - How is your little girl; have things been good?

First - Glad things are better for you

I have been feeling under the weather I have been sick since Sunday, but I know I have been pushing it and overdoing it. We had carpet installed Saturday and spent ALL day/night working on the bedrooms and still have a ton to do. DS's batman party is Saturday, so still working on that as well.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Whisper I'm so glad Rose might get to come home this week! I'm so glad she has been doing well.

Michelle I'm sorry you are feeling under the weather! It sounds like you are extremely busy. I hope everything goes well Saturday. When is your next appt? Do you have a c-sec date yet?

I don't know if I'll make it to my c-sec date. DH thinks I'm not. His first set of twins were born at 36 weeks. I feel ok today but BH get bad at night and early in the morning. I have an OB appt on Thursday lets see how that goes! Here is my bump pic.

[michelle01]

Happy - CUTE bump I definitely don't think you will make it to your scheduled date either I will get my scheduled c-section date at my July 15 appt, I believe. My next appt is Monday and then on July 15 I will have my NST done.

I am super busy; so busy that I just wish I could hit a fast forward button to get through the next 2 weeks!! I am hoping by Saturday most things will be done and the rest of it I can take my time working on. I am just so physically tired, but have to figure a way to push through. Good luck at your appt Thursday

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Michelle I dunno how you do it. Lately I've had no energy for anything. Hopefully the next two weeks will fly by.

So my boy's weight is 6 lb 1 oz and girl is 6 lb 5 oz. I know they are only estimates but hopefully their real weights are close to that. They are completely out of room in there. So I better make sure everything is set for their arrival.

 

[want2conceive]

Happy - I really really really hope you are right. I can't wait to hold Nicholas in my arms. Good luck on your appointment on Thursday and I love your bump pic. Let's see who will cross the finish line first, you or me. lol


Whisper - Glad Rose has been doing better and hope she can come home really soon.


Michelle - Sorry you have been feeling ill lately and I hope you feel better soon. But yay for new carpet.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Good luck today want!!

 

[want2conceive]

Happy - Thx! And good luck tomorrow too.


Just met with my OB. We are now hooked up to a HB monitor for 30min to make sure everything is ok. Nothing has changed with my cervix but he called the hospital and they said they could still induce after 39wks even with cervix not having changed. So we'll find out tomorrow what day they have available so we can start inducing. We are looking at Sunday night.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Yay want! You'll be holding Nicholas soon. I'm so excited for you!

 

[Em260]

Whisper - yay so happy to hear Rose is making so much progress!! Hopefully she will be home in no time

Happy - love the bump pic!!

Michelle - read in the other thread that you're feeling better You are so active it's inspiring!! I know I'll be so lazy because I'm already feeling that way

Want - how exciting!! Only a few more days and Nicholas will be in your arms

AFM - had my first OB appt yesterday. Everything looks great with my little girl she's measuring right on target and her heart rate was 161 . I'm seeing a high risk OB due to my blood clotting disorder and she kind of freaked me out because she gave me all of the worst case scenarios that can happen. My next appt isn't for 4 weeks. No idea how I'll manage to wait that long. I got so spoiled having an ultrasound every week for the last 3 weeks!!

 

[Whisper82]

Happy - adorable bump. That top looks so cute on you. Those are some good size twins you have in there! That is fabulous they have stayed put to grow as much as possible.

Michelle - Hope you are making it through all of stuff you have to do and still maintaining sanity!

Want - WOW! Sunday! That would be wonderful! Just a few more days till you meet baby!

Em - YAY for another good scan. That is incredibly exciting. I'm assuming you will get to do scans more often than a standard pregnancy since you are high risk? I did because of twins and it was wonderful. Sorry the doc freaked you out. I hope you will be able to keep focusing on the good news and not get distracted by all of the possible scary stuff.

AFM - Rose came home today! We are on . It is so great to have her here and as an extra bonus, we don't have to go up to the hospital constantly anymore to see her. But let me just say....having twins home is going to be a huge challenge. It's 5 am here and neither DH nor I got more than about 3 hours of sleep last night. Lily did a pretty good job of sleeping, but Rose is waking up every hour wanting to eat! FX she will adjust to being at home quickly and we will be able to get the twins on some kind of similar schedule.

 

[michelle01]

want - YAY!! Nicholas will be here soon And sounds like maybe Monday; that is my DS's bday

Whisper - WOOT WOOT; so happy Rose is home now And from another thread I am on where there are a lot of twins, sleep unfortunately seems to be a hard thing to come by. I am sure you will adjust and with the help from DH, hopefully you both can work out a routine so you both manage to get some rest

Em - YAY for a great appt! Don't let them freak you out about the clotting disorder; I have it and never had an issue because of it

I have to say I am feeling better, but man, I am TIRED today! Got home after working all day yesterday, ran to two stores, then got home at 7:45 and cleaned until 9:20 when I finally went to bed. And we still have SO much to get done between now and Saturday for the party I also think even after Saturday, there is still more to come; getting the LO's clothes washed, put away and moving Tyler's clothes from the LO's room to his new room. But at least after this weekend I don't have to feel so stressed about getting it done.

 

[want2conceive]

Thx ladies. If he comes on Monday then him and my neice who was born Monday will be exactly 1wk apart. Can't wait to hold him in my arms. Been waiting for almost 9yrs. Hoping these last couple days go by fast!

Whisper - yay for Rose coming home and hope you can get them both on the same schedule.

Happy - how did your appointment go?

Michelle - Glad you're feeling better. Get organized because you're not to far behind me.

Wanna - have you and Elijah in my prayers. Hope he improves soon Hun.

 

[wannabeprego]

@Whisper, Congratulations on being able to take both of your girls home!! That is such awesome news and I am so happy for you!!

@Want, Good luck for Sunday night!! I hope your L&D is quick and easy and that your baby is born happy and healthy!!

@Happy, beautiful bump pic!! You look great and I can tell your twins will be arriving any day!!

@Michelle, I am glad to hear that you are feeling better!!

@Em, that is great that your appointment went so well! I am sorry that your DR scared you, I think that she wanted to prepare you in case there are any problems, but I am sure that everything will be just fine. It is good that you know about the medical challenges that you are facing so you are prepared and they will be monitored just in case. Big hugs to you!!

AFM, Elijah has improved a great deal today and I did a detailed update in my journal so be sure to check it out!! DH & I are feeling very happy today because he is fighting off the infection and he is improving. Thanks so much for all of the thoughts and prayers girls!! I really appreciate it!!

Here is a link to my journal....

[HappyBunnyAB]

Whisper I'm so glad Rose is home! I'm sure you and DH are on !

EM I'm glad your appt went well. You can get so spoil every time you get an u/s maybe with the specialist you will get more u/s.

Michelle I'm glad you are feeling better. You have so much energy!

Want I hope these days go by fast!!

Wanna I'm so happy Elijah is doing better. They are both still in my prayers.

Well today for a moment I thought my twins were coming! The dr said my BP was high and their was protein in my urine. So he sent me to the hospital to get blood work done. He was afraid I was getting pre-eclampsia. All the results were fine but now I have to check my BP twice a day. I'm doing a 24 hr urine test. I was excited but at the same time I was nervous. Now I better make sure I have everything ready just in case. We are all so close at holding our babies.

 

[Em260]

Whisper - yay for Rose being home!! Hopefully you can get them both on the same schedule and get a little more rest.

Michelle - I forgot that you have a clotting disorder and were on Lovenox. It's great to know you didn't have any complications from it. Glad you're getting everything in order so you can relax soon.

Happy - oh wow I bet that made for an exciting day. Hopefully your urine test comes back ok

Wanna - so good to hear that Elijah is doing better I'm off to read your update.

 

[Whisper82]

Michelle - FX your stress level winds down after this weekend. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. GL with the batman party. I want to come!

Want - Are you for sure getting induced on Sunday? Only like two days to go!

Wanna - So very glad Elijah is doing better. Poor little guy has had a tough go of it so far. He must have a strong little spirit. Still praying for all of you.

Happy - Oh boy! Any time now. I'm glad your doc is monitoring you for preeclampsia...that's why I had to deliver early. Luckily you are far enough that even if you got diagnosed with preeclampsia you are probably fine to deliver any time now. How exciting! Did you get that hospital bag packed?

Em - how are you feeling? What pregnancy symptoms are you having?

AFM - DH and I took Rose to her first pediatrician appointment yesterday and the doctor said she is looking great. We will take her back in a week for a weight check. I also asked the doctor some questions about the girls' immune functioning as I have been told that their immune systems are compromised due to being premature. The doctor's recommendation is that we not take the girls to any public places with lots of people for a while i.e. church. She also said we should have everyone who touches the babies wash or sanitize their hands first. So we started spreading the word to our families yesterday that we will be asking everyone to sanitize. When I told my mom, I think I detected a bit of a "harrumph" in her tone. It could be that I am just super sensitive due to extreme sleep deprivation, but now I am worried that my family will be offended if we ask them to sanitize. Would you guys feel offended if someone asked you to sanitize before touching their baby?

 

[michelle01]

Whisper - Glad the appt went well with Rose. If your family or anyone gets offended because you ask them to sanatize to make sure your babies are OK, then that is their problem! Honestly I think there is nothing wrong with asking that. You have to do what is in the best interest of your girls

Happy - Glad everything came back OK with your tests; but it won't be long now hang in there!!

wanna - So glad Elijah is doing better!!! You surely have a little champ/fighter on your hands And so happy that Lyric is getting stronger everyday!

Oh I just want to fast foward to Sunday right now! DH and I worked until about 10pm last night with my BIL and SIL and still, SOOOOO much to get done! I spent about 30 minutes pulling weeds and wanted to pass out; it was 92 and 100% humidity yesterday! DH and BIL worked in the yard most of the night, mulch is being delivered today and driveway being seal coated. Myself and SIL worked on DS's batman room, putting up the decals and I removed the stickers from his lightning mcqueen bed so DH can spray paint it black tonight and we can put batman decals on it Just lots to do for tomorrow! I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them!!! I am excited for DS to have a nice party tomorrow; his last one as an only child

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Whisper I don't think it's wrong to ask people to wash and sanitize their hands before touching the girls. And if they have a problem then that's on them. They need to put themselves in your shoes. DH and I are going to ask our family for the same thing. In fact we have been making comments to prepare them. No bag yet. I'm doing it tonight.

Michelle you are the energizer bunny! You keep going and going! I'm sure the party will be a success. I can't wait to see the pics.

Want you are so close now. I can't wait to hear your update.

It's getting harder to sleep at night. I wake up around 1 am and stay up for about 2 hours. I drink milk the twins seem to like that. Today I noticed I'm starting to loose my plug. DH talks to the twins everyday tells them to rip my water and come out! At this point I am so ready to have these babies.
