1st Beta Test today was a whopping 194!! IVF Coordinator told me I had at least two. But DH is still in shock. I go back Tuesday morning for my next Beta. I'm just now settling down a bit. I love it.

It's late, I'll post more tomorrow.

Isabella Sophia has arrived! She was born 9\1\09. She weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces. she is beautiful and perfect. i am soooooooo happy. Delivery was so good. I was induced at 7:30am and had her at 12:16. couldnt ask for better than that. DH has been wonderful. He has taken to everything like a pro. We are tired no doubt but she is a good baby. Im trying to breastfeed, but it is not going so well. She eats alot so im doing bottles too. Idont produce much milk when i pump so may have to give up. Im doing the tea bag thing and the cream to help soreness nd cracks, but not really helping. Any tips?

Congrts to the bfp! Hope everyone is well. i will post a pic when i can. barely have time to brush my teech. lol. love it though.

Rhonda,

Congratulations. So glad that you had a relatively easy delivery. Hope your breastfeeding goes well. It takes a while also for me to pump enough milk. Pumping after some massage on breasts may help. It gets easier with time and practice.

Looking forward to seeing your precious daughter's pictures!

Rhonda,

Congratulations!!! I love the name you picked. Glad it was a smooth delivery. When I had DS, it took 3 days for my milk to come in. Can't wait to see the pics.

I got my second beta today - 2114. Definitely two, just concerned if it is 3. I go back Thursday for next beta. 1st u/s will be 9/28.

Sounds like everyone is really busy.

Take care,
Kim

Good morning Ladies!

Kim-Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.

Rhonda-Congratulations! I bet ya'll are on cloud nine with that little angel in your arms. My milk didn't fuly come in till 5 days after DD arrived. Hang in there. I had to supplement with formula because she dropped over a pound in weight :( but she never got confused she would nurse throughout the day then at night I'd feed her formula since I was nearly dried out from all the feedings throughout the day. I used lanosil for the cracked sore nipples. You can even use a drop of your milk to massage the areas as it may help as well.

Hello to everyone else.

AFM-Hmmf! AF arrived monday :( DH and I will have to have a heart to heart on this. Other than that sadness we had a great holiday weekend. DD had a great time; she did well on both flights [up and back].

Cheers!

Thanks everyone. I want to post a pic, but don't know how. If anyone can tell me what to do, i will get a pic up. Im not up on all of the computer stuff.

Catharine, sorry about AF I know how frustrating it is. Hang in there.
Kim, that is wonderful. You must be so excited. I can just feel the excitement.

Tammy, good to hear from you. I hope you and that sweet boy are doing well.

Yasmina,
Hope you and you DS and DD are doing great.

To everyone else, good luck in your journey.

Rhonda,

If you can upload your photos to photobucket.com, you can just copy the img code under each photo in the end of your post. Do a preview before posting - sometime the image can be very big. I like to decrease the photo size to 480x600 something like this size so that it shows better.

Looking forward to meet your precious daughter!

BTW, I am still breast feeding and if you have anything to discuss about this, don't hesitate to post.

Tammy,

It's nice to hear from you.

Catharine,

Your second may come at the time that you expect him/her the least. I still don't have my period which is worrisome. I don't think I am pregnant but my period came back at exactly 6m postpartum the first time!

Glad that you had good time with DD in the Boston (?) trip. We are off to Denver tomorrow for a 5-day conference. We are taking both kids and one baby sitter. That will be some adventure!

Hi to everyone else here!
