FET in Feb!!!

[lauradc]

Ok gals, I guess it is time for me to bump us up to the top again- where are ya all?????!!!!!!!!

I had my HSG done yesterday- oh what fun- but it was normal so that's good...we will start our cycle in mid July after we get back from a fishing trip up to MN with my parents and my dh's parents. That gives me way too much time to obsess until we start

Hope you are all doing good

Laura

Yay Laura! That's exciting! Time will go by quick! Yuck, an HSG! I've never had one of those but I had a hysteroscopy or however you spell that. Had that back in sept. and it wasn't too bad although it was uncomfy. First time I was put under cuz it was combined with a Lap. 2nd one was "all natural" lol. Let us know how everything goes! And have fun fishing!!! I LOVE fishing!!

How's everyone doing? Yah so yesterday a rattlesnake was on my front porch and my bare toes were about an inch away from, along with my dogs nose! UGH! That's the 2nd time one has been on our porch. Son of a B.
And we haven't caught it yet...
YIKES

Hello Chicks!

How is everyone??

Laura, glad to hear everything is underway. And glad your HSG is normal. I remember mine, it was very painful, the doc couldn't do it correctly, I wanted to scream. she tried to blame it on my uterus...not her retardedness....lol.
Mid july will be here before you know it, at least you will have a nice relaxing vacation first!!

Faith, a rattlesnake?? are you kidding? How are you supposed to catch it?? I am p'd off that I found two ants in my kitchen and bird poop on my lawn furniture....I can't imagine a snake..!

Where the heck is Donni??
She must be having lunch with Barbarella....in the Bermuda triangle.
Our thread is getting lonely!

I am 29 weeks along now! I go for another ultrasound next week. and then I start seeing my OB once a week! that'll get boring fast. i have to have an NST each time to monitor for contractions. Hopefully these babies are nice and cozy inside and don't decide to make an early appearance!!

Miss yous!

Hi girls!

I'm here, I'm here. Believe it or not, but I do come and read, but I haven't posted because my stupid computer lost it cookies or something like that, so I had to get a new password, then when it was emailed to me I was interrupted and couldn't post. Blah blah blah!

Anywhoo...I've had mother in law, then father in law, then my dad - geez, honestly I have had company basically since Addison was born. It was very hard and weighed heavily on my marriage. My honey's mother came to stay with us to help with the baby while I went back to work and she was wonderful with Addy. I am very lucky to have had her here. However, UUUGGGGHHHH....my DH is a momma's boy! Its tough to live with MIL. Well...she's gone and life is getting back to normal. Enough of my whining!

Beth ~ Double preggo momma! How you doing??? You know, I loved the doctors visits. Then again, I loved everything about being preggo and I miss it. I should do it again soon. I can't believe you are already 29 weeks. How exciting. So tell us, are you having a baby shower soon?

Crap...see I need to go get Addy.

Faith ~ Love ya, miss ya, get that rattlesnake.

Laura ~ I am so excited for you to start back up. Glad HSG was good. It was a little painful when I had mine, but didn't last long.

Gotta run - will do a better job keeping in touch!

Just a quick update, I'll write more later but the snake is gone as of last night, LOL. My dad happened to see him happily cruising on the pebble rocks in front of my porch and shoveled him! We have always kept shovels on all 4 corners of our house, but I always call my parents who live next door to come kill one if DH isn't home, if I happen to see one lol. I ain't going near one! Our area gets them every year, and it's "hatching season"!! YUCK!

Gotta go eat dinner TTYL

[lauradc]

Hi all! Yippeee everyone's back!!

Faith- I just was lmao reading your snake stuff- especially your Son of B part- but wow, I can't imagine having snakes crawling over my front porch- no thank you!!!!!!! So glad your dad got it!!

Beth- Glad all is going well! Wow- 29 weeks already! I hope your babies stay cozy still for lots of weeks. Have you set up their nursery? Have you thought about names? You're having a boy and a girl, right? Hope all goes well with your US next week!

Donni- Sounds like things have been crazy for you- I can't even imagine having my MIL stay with me indefinitely- I would go nuts for sure! Glad that things are calming down for you now. Of course with a baby, things are never calm!! How is sweet Addy doing? So sounds like you will maybe go for it again soon with another cycle, huh???!!!!! Do I remember that you have lots of frosties?

Nothing new for me...Just waiting, waiting, waiting...but the time will fly I'm sure and I'll be whining about shots again Take care all, Laura

[FaithHopeLove]

Ok, I'm back! Didn't I promise you all I'd write more later? lol

Donni good to hear from you! Yah my MIL living here wouldn't work..you brave girl..I bet little Addie is getting big! She trying to walk yet or in crawling mode? I bet she's trying to talk already! That reminds me, my cousins son will be 3 in September and he doesn't even say mama or dada. He doesn't talk, he just grunts??? Post us some more pics!!!

Beth yes I wish I just had to deal with ants and bird poop here! Our problems are snakes and coyotes. We may be moving soon so hopefully where we go it will be snake/coyote free! How's the twin-nies?Have you decided on any names?

Hi Laura! Don't worry time will go by! I have to admit that I'm not jealous of you with doing the shots, lol. Although it'll be worth it I'm sure! Man, just thinking of those PIO shots make my butt cheeks quiver. LOL

Not much new here, no plans yet for a FET, not in the mood. I sorta feel like I'm done in a way. I have 12 frosties so maybe in the future we'll do it again or maybe a surrogate?? Hmmm, we'll see.

[beth]

*Bump*

how sad we were on page 2!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I am still around AND round! lol!

nothing new...last ultrasound babies were about 3 pounds each and very long! ouch.
they move around like crazy, kicking me in the spleen. and squashing my bladder.

These are not complaints! I am happy!!

Miss you all, will write more later!

beth

[lauradc]

Hi all- just a quick hi from me!!

Beth- Glad those little ones are doing good!! 3 lbs each- wow!

Faith- 12 frosties!! That's good you have an open mind about doing things in the future and when you are ready. You definitely should not be jealous of my shots!!

I just got started on bcp yesterday- yipppeeeee- NOT! I will probably have to stay on them longer than the usual cuz I won't start stims till July 25th or so- at this clinic they start a group of women at different start dates or something and we'll be oot from about July 10-15.

Take care all, Laura

[FaithHopeLove]

Wow it's quiet...SSShhhh!! Just bumpin' us back up to the top. How's everyone?

[baby_or_bust]

Hi girls! I miss you all! My stupid computer cookies again. To be honest, I try to post a reply, but then I don't know my password and I have to request a new one, then log into my email. Blah blah blah... I haven't been online a lot lately. Trying to step away from the computer. But I miss everyone.

Faith ~ You gots you some frosties girl! I have 11 - 3 good, 6 fair to good and 2 fair ones left. We are definately thinking of going back for the rest. I want my own reality show. Ha ha - just teasing. But I am thinking of going back for another little bundle of joy sometime soon. Keep us updated!

Beth ~ Hows our round momma??? I am thinking its about time for a belly pic!!! Rahhh rahhh - that is the crowd cheering you on. How are your little ones doing???

Laura ~ Hey there lady! Hows the BC pills treating you. I hated taking those. HATED them - and so did my skin. You will be starting stims soon. Its getting closer. I will most surely need to be checking in more often soon. You stimming and Beth and her babies. Ooh - excitement stirring up.

OK girls. Did I mention I had lost all of my baby weight about 6 weeks after having Addy. Did I also mention that doesn't mean a whole lot because I was a chunkey monkey before getting PG. Anywhoo...I was watching Real World Cancun - yeah I watched it. WHAT...!
And I told DH that if I lost weight down to 130 he has to take me there. He said he would and we shook on it. That was last night. I only have about 12 pounds to get there and would actually like to be closer to 115 at some point, but would be happy with the 130. Well...I had Taco Bell tonight. At this rate I will never go to Cancun.

So...Addy is crawling all over the place. I put a video of it on my FB. Yes girls...you can find me there if you try hard enough. Donnell Padilla Smith.

Miss you all!!!

Hey chicks!

Glad those babies are doing good Beth! Wow it won't be long now!!! As happy as you are pregnant, I bet you will be glad when they are out! I bet they are taking up lots of room now!! Our friend is due in about a month for her twin boys and I think she's ready too Any names yet? How's the nursery coming along?

Laura how's the BCP going? The 25th will be here soon!! I definetely think you will have a BFP! Maybe twins like Beth??!!

Donni Cancun huh? I bet you look great anyways and I nominate your DH for taking you there for enduring all the pokes and prods of ivf, LOL. I've heard cancun is beautiful! How's Addie doing? She will be walking soon!!! That's crazy!!

Well not much new here around here, no more snakes so far...now it's just the damn bats at night. EEEK!
Take care!!!

Hi girls,

just a quick update as I am very exhausted.
It has been a crazy two weeks!

The babies were born July 1st!! Long story short -- I won't bore you with details --I got very very sick and ended up having an emergency c-section. I was 33 weeks along and totally scared!!

but they are here and they are doing VERY well. They didn't need oxygen, they were able to breathe on their own right away. They started eating on their own. Right now they are still in the hospital and I am at home....which is sooo hard! But I am trying to get my rest and recover before they come home.

boy was 4 lbs 6 oz 17.5 in
girl was 3 lbs 13 oz 16.5 in

they lost weight and are almost back to their birth weight now. They have just been moved to an open cradle from their incubators. I can't wait until they come home!!

Gotta run!
miss you guys....

I am going to start a FB page, too donni, I will let you know.

beth

[FaithHopeLove]

Wishing you a million Congrats Beth!!!!! I'm so excited, and I'm sure those babies will be coming home soon! Like you said, now you can get some much needed rest!!!! Keep in touch!

[baby_or_bust]

Oh my goodness Beth! BIG OL CONGRATS! How scary but I am so happy the babies are doing so well.

OK - you said boy and girl! What are their names??? Or are you weirded out about posting online? Either way I am so very happy for you. I hope you are doing well and yes...bore us with the details. We love details here. Let me know when you start the FB.

Heya to everyone else!

~Donni
