Julie, Good to hear from you and that Sophia is doing good. It sounds like she is making great progress and is in good hands. I will pray that her breathing issues resolve quickly and you can have the device removed. Do keep us updated! Sarah, I didnt realise you were on any kind of bed rest. Hope y...

Julie/Iamhopeful, Congrats, firstly. Very happy to hear that Sophia is doing well and I will keep you and her in my prayers. Do keep us updated on her progress which I am sure will be fast. Sarah, Sorry to hear about your cramping! But its good they checked you out and found nothing wrong. That cerv...

Sarah, Thanks for the tips! I got the slow FE kind of supplement too. I have been stuffing myself with spinach, LOL! I would make Popeye proud. But, unfortunately, I dont eat red meat so I cannot get any of the iron that your body absorbs easily. Have a good trip and let us know how your showers go!...

Kacie, We had IVF with PGD done in october. This was our first IVF cycle and I am now pregnant from that cycle. We needed PGD becuase of recurrent miscarraiges (3) although they never found anything wrong with the individual chromosome test. We were worried about the whole concept of removing a cell...

Iamhopeful, Once the baby is here and they see how cute the baby is, I am sure your daughters will want to play with her/dress her up etc. You seem to have a great relationship with your daughters - it takes a lot of work, I am sure. I know what you mean by hesitating before buying. I happened to go...

Lisa, Sounds like your trip to Disney World was great. And glad to hear the baby is doing well after your scary ride. Its good you got to go on your trip and spend some fun time with your older kids before the baby comes. Iamhopeful, And octupus inside you - that just cracked me up. :) Glad to hear ...

bjones, Thats great news!! Twin boys and now twin girls - how cool is that! Baby blankets are sooo cute! I am sure you will have fun knitting something for your babies. I made a bunch of baby blankets for my nephew that I am probably going to end up taking from my sister. :) Never knitted one though...

Becky, sorry to hear about your pre-eclampsia but you are doing the right things and taking the right steps. Will say a prayer for you and your babies. Like I amhopeful said, with your previous positive experience with the pre-eclampsia, there is no reason to not be positive this time also. Iamhopef...

Kala, good to hear you are feeling better now. Anything during pregnancy just makes us so paranoid! I always wonder if its the same for people who get pregnant without any problems or if its just pregnancy in general. So does your husband compete in the paraolympics?? Thats really cool - I dont know...

Kala, I hope you are doing better now. And your food poisoning/stomach bug is behind you. I think I have also read that your dehydration is what would be of concern. And your baby sounds like she is doing just fine. Lisa, Really cool that you are having a boy and that your family is happy with the b...

Wow! Congrats Kala, Iamhopeful and bjones!! Lots of girls so far. And little girls stuff is just soooo darling. Iamhopeful, I know what you mean about not getting to enjoy the journey. It does seem like as soon as you have answers to one thing, there is the next thing to worry about!! Kala, I went a...

Iamhopeful, How exciting that you are going to find the gender of the baby this week! And I know what you mean by being anxious! Keep us posted! So, how much are you ladies showing? :) I can get away with wearing pretty loose clothes but DH says he can tell. I am just letting people think I am getti...

Kala, thats great about your negative test results with the screening! I am a little nervous about it still. And I dont get to have another US until Feb 3rd week to find the gender of the baby!! And you really are getting a good deal with the day care. My sister is looking into day care for my nephe...

Happy New Year to you all! Thanks so much for re-assuring me, lisa and Courtney. Its so much better to hear from you ladies than my OB's nurse. I am glad you started feeling better soon, Lisa. Wow, our due dates are almost the same - thats so cool. And you are due July 4th - independance day baby, h...

Thanks for adding me to the list!! And for telling me your experiences. Its been really hard for me to not be paranoid. I have had two miscarraiges from natural pregnancies but that was 2-3 years ago and we have not been able to get pregnant since then. Had 3 IUIs with no success and finally got pre...
