Trying preseed this time!

[MrsKibler]

Hhhooopppeeee!!!! It's a girl yay. It's so fun once you start indulging into all the cute frilly things!!! Two scans that sounds like so much fun!! Whe is your party?? Have you been able to hold it in??

Mrs b, I'm glad you are feeling a little better and are getting pointed in the right direction

Afm, I'm doing well, feeling lots of my little girls kicks, and tomorrow I have my gestational diabetes test :/ and 24 week ultrasound. it's a two hour one so wish me luck!! Wish I could get another scan, but I won't have another unless complications arise. I've registered and my first baby shower is next weekend, we have a 7 hour drive to Michigan! I can wait! Then at the end of the month I have another one...it's going to be huge! About 60 people are invited so we hope to get most everything we need!!!

 

[Mrs B.]

Thanks MrsK Good luck with your diabetes test and ultrasound tomorrow! Are you going to post an ultrasound piccy tomorrow? Actually...I guess it's today now seeing as you posted yesterday!! GL!

 

[MrsKibler]

Lol idk why I typed I had an ultrasound today...I meant dr appt. Lol everything went well. Baby is doing wonderful. Heart beat in 150s. I posted a pc of my 20 week scan in my blog, idk why I have so much trouble posting pictures on this sight. If you scroll back you'll find one. sorry. About to head over to a friends who enjoys just laying on the couch all night and watch tv and eat dessert and I can't freaking wait!
Hope all is well!

I really feel so blessed that we are having a little girl. Ever since I can remember I always wanted to have at least 1 girl. Either sex we would be thrilled to have as long as they are healthy....but to know we are having a girl is really a dream for me.

I celebrated my 30th birthday yesterday which was really nice. My little princess got more spoiled than I did...she thought it was her bday and she got all the gifts, lol. I have my scan on Friday and after this scan is done with and all is well, i finally get to focus on planning my baby shower. At least I have my theme set....Cute as a Button!!! Can't wait to get creative with that! Hope all you ladies are well. Love catching up you girls

 

[Mrs B.]

Glad the dr's appointment went well MrsK I'm going to go and have a look at your blog

I'm a bit late but Happy Birthday Hope!! Love the theme for the baby shower

 

[Mrs.326]

Happy Belated Birthday, Hope!!

Glad to hear you girls are all doing well (and your little baby girls, too! )

I was in the shower last night and looked down at my non-existent bump and for the first time since I've had my baby I really missed being pregnant... DH better watch out! LOL!!

 

[MrsKibler]

Hope- I hope your birthday was just swell Last one without a little baby on your side! What week are you now? and have you felt much movement yet?!

Mrs326- Lol...I was telling my husband after the baby is here, I'm going to miss being pregnant! I love it! The bond you have with your baby that no one else can have its just wonderful- I like that me and my little girl can be in our own world, and nobody understands. I'm going to miss it sooo much- Are you guys going to try for another anytime soon?

Whats everyone's Status???

I have my 28 week Dr appt tomorrow. I'm excited, I just had my second baby shower (which was HUGE) We got soooo mmuch stuff, but We still need some things...We'lll go shopping for them soon. But I'm going to enjoy this coming weekend by going to Miller Park for the Brewer game with some family... I'm really looking forward to it, something fun to do that doesnt' involve much work! I've been really in the nesting mood already...and am going crazy that nothing is really done- I keep going through our gifts and organizing them into categories- but thats all I can do since we will be moving yet (If we can find a place) before the baby comes- so I can't set anything up!!! I'm going NUTS!
Baby is Moving TONS and I love It Full blow elbows and rubs from the knees and feet- not just little kicks any more

Hey ladies, glad to see everyone is doing so well!

I on the other hand, not so much

We had a follow up appointment with our FS yesterday and even though all of my tests have been pretty normal, apparently I too have PCOS! She said it's mild and won't affect conceiving as my periods are regular and hormones normal, so it's just sitting there and helpful to know for the future treatments. Still, pretty annoying. But the worst was to come. My OH had a low sperm count from the last SA (13mill) It had improved this time to 25mil which was great, however, they did the separation of the sperm, or washing at it was only 0.1mil. So gutted! This isn't even enough for IUI. He tested positive for MAR, which is some sort of antisperm cells which she thinks is causing the count to diminish so much. So it's IVF for us. So upset. I really thought that we just hadn't been lucky before and it would happen soon. Now it looks so bleak and it would be crazy to think we could do it alone.

I can't remember your situations when you were all TTC but if you could remind me and shed any light on these recent developments, I'd be so grateful. OH is so upset, I just don't know what to do, or say.

Thanks guys

Hi ladies, it's been a while this thread has been so quiet. Thanks Mrs.K for bringing it back to life All is well with me and our little girl. I have started to feel her kicking and moving which is unreal. I waited so long for this so I am enjoying every minute of it. My bump is showing, although whoever hears that I am 5 months along says I am really tiny....I beg to differ, lol. I just can't wait to meet our princess....and I think we finally are narrowing down our name options for her

Kzee I am so sorry to hear of your news. It is never easy going through the difficult journey of ttc (believe me, been there done that) but you have to keep telling yourself that at least you and OH finally know the reason for not falling pregnant and you can now take proactive steps to have your family. When I thought IVF was my only way of having a baby, I fell into deep anxiety, but I kept reminding myself that I would do whatever I needed to at the end of the day to have my family. Luckily IUI did the trick for me, but even those procedures were not a walk in the park. Just be thankful that IVF is still an option for you guys and I think just being there for OH and letting him know you guys are in this together is enough. Hang in there, you will get there

Mrs.326, how are you doing? I'm sure you have your hands full with Davis. Any new photos you can share?

 

[Kzee]

Hi Hope - thank you so much! I remember following your story on here and feeling so happy when you finally fell pregnant! It does give me hope (so to speak!). Although having hope isn't a great thing either as I feel like I'm in denial and that somehow we'll be one of those couples who miraculously get a BFP now we've been referred to IVF - which will inevitably lead to disappointment every month again. Arrrggghhh. I'm sure we'll be alright, but I’m impatient and can't stand not knowing! Also, his SA results are so confusing. I don't even know how bad it really is... All I know is that ICIS is what has been recommended. I'm hoping that that's just because the Doctor feels that we have been trying for long enough and to waste time would be patronising to us. Either that or it's really serious. So scared

Hope everyone else is doing well... I'm sorry I've probably not been around much recently xxx

Have you gone for a second opinion? If not, maybe it doesn't hurt to try....you have all the test results so take those and go see another specialist. I mean the first RE I went to didn't even hesitate to say my only option was IVF, then when I went for a second opinion, the doc said my tubes were fine and we should start with baby steps. I know SA's can be different and they "replenish" every 3 months and there is sooo much your OH can do/take to help with volume and motility and all that other stuff. Hang in there, it will get better. One day at a time

 

[Hope1409]

Hi ladies....how is everyone???? Mrs.Kibler I am sure you had your baby girl by now....how is it going? How are you feeling? Mrs.326, how is Davis doing?

Afm, i am about 3 weeks away and so nervous and scared and excited all at the same time. I cant wait for her to be here but I am so scared of the major life change and all that comes with it...and of course the labor part, lol!

 

[Mrs B.]

Hi Hope, can't believe you're so close now! Good luck with the birth!!

Hope everyone else is doing well! AFM, I've been referred for IVF now. Hopefully that will get me somewhere

 

[Mrs.326]

Awe, Hope!!! So close !! It'll be here before you know it, so enjoy your last few weeks as a twosome - have a date night and go to bed early.

Davis is doing so well! The last 3 weeks were major. He started pulling up, crawling, and can get himself into a seated position all by himself! He's also a pretty big baby for his age. Just turned 8 months and is in 12m or 18m clothing... he's 30" tall and weighs about 22lbs. Can't believe in a little less than 4 months, my baby will be 1! Where has the time gone??

I'm a crazy FB stalker and saw that Mrs.Kibler DID have her little girl. She's adorable! I don't know much more than that though. Hopefully she's doing well and enjoying motherhood

Best of luck to you, Hope! Check back in after the baby arrives and let us know how you're doing!

Best of luck to you, too, Mrs.B!! Hopefully you'll be sharing good news soon! FX'd!!!!

 

[Mrs B.]

Thanks Mrs. 326! We have our appointment with the ivf consultant in mid-Sept so FX. Good to hear Davis is doing well... I can't believe he will be 1 soon!

 

[Hope1409]

I am proud to say that our baby girl arrived via induction this past thursday night. She is the most precious thing. She weighed 7lb and 2 oz and measured 19.25 inches tall. Labor and delivery was an amazing experience. Total hours in labor was 13, in pain for the last 2 hours because my epidural became spotty on my left side, then pushed her out in under an hour. She came so quick that even the doctor wasnt ready to catch her lol. I did end up losing a lot of blood so had to stay in the hospital an extra night, but slowely recovering and adjusting to mommyhood.

 

[Mrs B.]

Congratulations Hope!! Do you have a name for her yet? We'd love to see a pic when you're feeling up to it
