The Sisterhood of the Blue Stilettos

[hrobinson]

Sassy- I am sure you are just over the moon. I am so excited for you. I had to go share your success story with several of my teacher friends. With all you have been through...all your treatments...your BIL...etc....I can't think of anyone who deserves this more than you.
If you would like some help with those little ones, give me a call. DH and I would love to come out to Vegas again:)

Sassy - Holy Cow!!!! Congrats!!!!!!

[vicky77]

Sassy.......OMG!!!!!!!!!! (there was no bigger font, otherwise I would have used it!! LOL). I could not believe it when I read your post!!, this is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Please tell us more, no wonder you were having morning sickness!!!!!. I am very very happy for you!!!!!! woohoooooooooo on the quintuplets!!!!!!!

I am doing good, the belly is showing everyday a bit more which is nice. I started having some Braxton Hicks about a week or so ago, at first I freaked out, but my OB says not to worry, so I'll try not to . Other than that I am doing great!!.

How are you guys doing???

[meg12]

See, all we needed to get this thread hopping again was someone to get preggers with quints. Thanks for taking one for the team, Sassy!

[Angie65]

yes - a BFP with one is just not going to cut it these days on sistahood thread !

but being serious now, SAssy - how are you feeling ?- hope you are feeling OK and not too freaked - keep in touch with us.

OK can someone come and pick me up off the floor. I turn my back for a second and look what happens....Sassy! How fertile are you girl? Well I'm thinking if anyone can handle this you can. YOu seem like a very fit and organised person (although I think you had better finish compiling your various photos and other things that you like to do cos you won't be doing any of that stuff for a long time after the babes are born...)

How are you feeling?

By the way, I think that Gypsy fee may have predicted this a while back, I recall saying that you would not be travelling anywhere due to brood issues....

Have you told anyone yet???

Sorry for my long absence girls I have returned to work full-time...I had a meeting with my boss and apparently I need to work full-time for the next couple of months and make my budget before they will consider letting me work from home. How's that for some nice pressure. So now my typical day starts at 5.00am with me expressing milk for baby, spend lunch epxressing milk for baby, come home and play with baby and express more milk for baby and go to sleep at midnight, I am unbelievably tired! I just hope they let me work from home after all this damn them.

I will try to do more personals later, but a quick shout out to Robbo, hope you have recovered from surgery

Nickster, congratulations, you must be thrilled am so pleased for you.

Angie, I know how freaky it is when the baby goes quiet, sorry to hear about your trip to the hosp but glad all is well with you.

Mego, sorry to hear about DH and his operation. I have to say I am looking forward to Easter just so I can get off this ridiculous working schedule I am on...

Vicky, well done you. Baby will be here before you know it.

Tina, do you have any feelings about what sex baby yours will be, my gypsy powers tell me it is a boy.

Patie??? Have you had your appointment yet???

Jenn, hope you are getting some sleep!

Well I'd better be off, so much to do!!!

Good morning to all. (Or good night if you're in the opposite part of the world!) Had a good night. Lucy is pretty much sleeping all night most nights--she gets up for one quick feeding usually and that's it. She sits up on her own now--just started out of the blue yesterday. Very proud of herself. And of course is rolling around like crazy. It's weird to put her down in one position, turn around and then have her be in the opposite place when I look again. Have a feeling it won't be long until she's crawling--she's a very determined little thing. She's eating solids twice a day--loves her bananas and sweet potatoes! Geez, don't know why I had a brag on Lucy moment there, sorry!

It's my birthday today, so I think we're going to the zoo to celebrate. Pretty crazy and out there, huh? Oh well. The weather is actually supposed to be nice today, so we're going to take advantage of it!

Have a great day all!

[beachbaby]

sorry to crash ladies.

Sassy, just had to say congratulations, hope your feeling ok and have got over the shock. Good luck to you in the months to come.
Take care
Jayne

Hey guys. My dh finally updated his website so if you want to see some current pics of Lucy go to www.godutchgo.com!

[Angie65]

she just gets cuter and cuter Meg! great piccies . Well I am sitting in bed with ice blocks on my feet - trying hard to not get swollen legs - I know I shouldn't complain about the summer but I am over it - we are having a late heat wave and its so hard on the old legs and ankles!

On a better note , going out to dinner with DH and we have a $150 voucher to spend at a very nice restuarant - can't wait - 3 courses here I come!

Wombat is bobbing around still not very regularly but definitely feel him/her which is nice - have my next visit to OB on Thurs

how's everyone else doing?

[nickster]

Sassy~ OMG.....How Amazing!!!! Are you two just totally stunned??? I am so happy for you. So hard to believe you go from hoping for 1 for soooo long to 5! Truly amazing!
I hope you're feeling ok.

Fee~ So good to hear from you. I can't believe they're still dangling that working from home in front of you. Hasn't that been going on forever? I thought I remembered you wanting to do this for a long time. Well I hope you get your wish soon, you sound very busy.

Vicky & Angie~ Sounds like things are moving right along for you two. Glad to hear those babies are doing good in there!

Meg~ I hadn't seen Lucy yet so I went to your website and OMG is she ADORABLE! She is absolutely a doll (and of course I'm sure you agree!).

So..I went for my ultrasound and I have twins!!!! Of course we were thrilled! But then, and of course it was a Friday, we got a call from my doctor. He said..."I reviewed your ultrasound and quite frankly I'm worried". Well of course those are the words we all dread to hear. He said the babies weren't as big as they should be and my hcg (which was 4769) was not as high as he would expect for 6 weeks. He said he was 2/3 worried and 1/3 thinks he's worried for no reason. That's what I was left with on a Friday afternoon, lovely huh? So tomorrow I go get my hcg drawn again and Wednesday I have another us. My dh talked to our ivf clinic and they said that is sometimes normal for ivf babies to go slow at first then pick up speed with growing. We are just hoping and praying this is the case! We are trying so hard to think positive. So if anyone has any extra prayers to throw our way we would certainly appreciate it.

Talk to you soon.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

[meg12]

Nickster--I'm praying for you! What a tough weekend wait...ugh! Congrats on the twins and I'm wishing you a huge number when you get the hcg back!

[jenn]

Hey nickster~ just wanted to wish you luck this week at your Dr. appt. I'm sorry you had to have a weekend of waiting and wondering. That stinks! I hope your numbers look great and your u/s is even better looking!

[nickster]

Thanks for your well wishes and prayers Jenn & Meg.
I cheated a little, I had my dr's office send an order to the hospital I work at. So I had my hcg drawn this morning and I should be hearing from a co-worker shortly about the results.
OMG I am sooo nervous. I can't stand it anymore!
I'll post when I hear.
