Congratulations, poohgirl!!!!!!! Eat well, drink lots of fluids and rest all you can. I wasn't on PIO shots, but did take progesterone 2-2-2 orally and 1-1-1 vaginally and had a very good progesterone level -- Hope that helps as a possible alternative to the bad reaction you had with the shots in the past.

Thanks for the well wishes, chriss! Hope you are doing well! Only 98 days to go for you!! They will go by quickly -- Hope all is fine with the bedrest, it will all be worth it in the end. Promised!

Carolyn, glad all is going well with your twins! I admire that you guys don't want to know the sex - with 2!! I think I would go crazy, it was hard enough for me with just one! But the surprise in the end was really wonderful, as DH really had his heart set on a girl, but never really said that out loud...

Hopeful and Stef - hope all is well with you!
Stef - congrats on getting past the 12 week mark!

Miracle - wishing you only the best of everything for your upcoming tmt!

Sabi - sorry to read that you are still getting sick! Hope everything else is going well. Do you know what you are having???

xx summer

Congratulations Summer! My niece, also named Anna was visiting when I read your post. You must be on cloud 9 right now. I'm so happy for you!

Poohgirl, congrats to you as well.

Chriss, Carolyn, Miracle, Stef, and Sabi hope all is well with you.

Sorry I've been MIA, but I had company last weekend and then got a cold. It has taken my energy this week to simply make it through the day at work. Luckily the worst of it didn't hit until today, so of course I slept most of my Saturday away. I did have another appointment this past Monday. It was with the nurse practioner mainly to get family history, but she did do a quick ultrasound to check for heartbeats. Both babies were moving around and had good heartbeats, so all is well. I did get my flu shot, which I'm wondering if that has anything to do with my cold??? Although I had many sick students this week, so I'm sure I just got it from them.

Carolyn - woohooo!!! the lil ones are growing and u r not finding out the sex. I am with u...u will be ecstatic to see two beautiful angels on ur delivery table and when docs will announce the sex u will be all the more happy!! wow I can just imagine. When Anay was brought to me after the delivery, i wasnt hearing all tht the doc were tellig me abt him, but i was just looking at him and had tears in my eyes...oh, the most precious and unforgettable moment of my life. :)
Hope u too r taking great care of urself, eat lost of beetroot..in the form of salad or soup, also spinach...I also had iron deficiency, but in months time it was under control.

about me, I am super busy with mr hyper anay, right nw anay is sleeping and so i hv some time fr myself. all the household chores are calling me...but today its fr my ivf buddies. :) Time flies...and he will 9 months soon!!! I am loving every moment of being mom. Oh yes and we shifted to Dubai and finally our life is back on track with our little family.

SONU...

Hello old friend. So great to hear from you. Glad anay is doing well. 9 Months!!! Unbelievable!!! So good to hear that things are going back to normal for you now that you are settled. I think of you often and am so happy to get a hello from you. I've heard from Hope once in a while as well. She is great. Take good care of your family. XOXO

Hi Pooh, congratulations on the twins!!!! That's wonderful. How far along are you now? Are you hungry all the time yet???

Hi Sabi, just pm'd you:)

Hey there summer, thinking of you. Know you are busy with your beautiful baby girl. Just letting you know that we are thinking of you.

Hi everyone, hope all is well.

AFM... Hanging in there on my bed-rest. Had a tough day yesterday, contractions were acting up and I was very emotional... pregnancy hormones. Today I plan on a day alone... no visitors. I love having visitors, but sometimes I need a little break. Then when I am alone too long I feel lonely:) Figures:)

Take care friends
XOXO

Hi Ladies,

Hope you are all well.

Chris, How lovely your having boys, they are the best although i am a tad biased!!! So sorry your having such a hard time and not getting to enjoy your pregnancy. Good luck over the next few weeks, i have everything crossed you are able to hang on a few more weeks to give the boys time to get stronger. Take care.

Carolyn, Hi, sounds like you are doing really good, i am so p[leased for you. Hang in there on not finding out the flavours, it's wonderful finding out as they are born. The only downside is finding enough names you like. Our final boys name was decided the night before we had them!!!

Take care both of you and enjoy the rest of your pregnancies. I will keep logging on to check your progress. You are in my thoughts.

Hi chriss, Have you managed to get everything bought and sorted with all the bed rest?you sound great and seem to be handling it all extremly well.
We are all fine, the boys are 16 months already!!! yikes. They are both walking Zak walked 2 weeks after his first birthday. Oliver is babbling like mad and you can now define very clear words in between it all. They are such a joy, but very tiring. The biggest tip i can give you is to get into a routine pretty early on so both you and your DH get to spend time together. We started our routine at 4 weeks and have never looked back.
Feel free to ask anything.
catch you soon

Hey Beach,

Great to hear from you. Sounds like your boys are doing great! How cute! I do hear about how busy life gets.Can you tell me more about your routine? I've been reading some books and everyone has their own theory. Do/Did you breast feed? I'd love to hear about a routine/schedule that works. I really want to start things off right. Do you recommend any books. theories, etc? Thanks!
XOXO

Hey all sorry I've been MIA, just busy and tired. Hope everyone is doing well. Chriss, you are a trooper! I hope you are still holding up well on this bedrest. You'll have to give me some pointers on what books to and not to read once I hit bedrest :wink:

I just got back from my radiology appointment and we are having two girls! We had both kind of wanted one of each, my husband especially since he is the last male on his side of the family, but we are happy they are measuring right on target and appear to be doing very well.

Off to make phone calls and write emails ... :lol:
