Nancy - I know we've been PM'ing but I couldn't resist crashing on my former cycle buddy to say a giant WOO-HOO for your BFP!!!! I'm so, so, so, so happy for you and I can't wait to hear about more POAS and find out your first beta results on Monday! I'm over the moon for you my friend!!

Hi everyone

Rypell- Wow! Only 9kg at 29 weeks and with twins! That is amazing! So i guess the double weight gain they say about twins is just a myth! You must be having a very healthy diet! Good for you! ...I see on your ticker you are naming your baby girl one of the two favourite names of mine! Chloe is my #1 choice for a baby girl A and if God bless us and I have two then baby girl B will be Isabella! (Chloe is my MIL name and if we make a girl then we will name her after her and Isabella is just a name we both me and DH absolutely Love!) I wish all the best for you and your family sweetie!

Nancy- WooHoo!!! Congratulations mommy!!!! I am So happy for you! I wish you really strong beta #’s!! ...Boy you POAS addicts make it look so easy when you pee and see that faint line! I cant wait to see mine one day!

Akdelp- the number of blasts to transfer is really up to you and DH honey...I vote yes for whatever you decide! There’s at least a winning one in there!

Texasgal- Bravo for a great beta #’s!!. All is looking good now for a healthy pregnancy all the way!

LYD- Glad everything going according to the plan! I may say that this is the first time I hear thawing the embryos a day prior to the FET, usually, and as they did with mine, they do the thaw the morning of the transfer but I guess every clinic is different...I wish good luck with your FET my friend! Everything will be fine! And tomorrow you’ll be PUPO!

Margi-Lou-Rio-Leora- My first cycle buddies! How are you mamas! I hope you are getting bigger and bigger every day! and both you and your beans are healthy! I so wish I was with you through the motherhood journey..I hope It won't be long to get there! sent baby dust my way!

These are the Bombonieres I made for our Goddaughter Eleni Christening. The Jar has a sweet fruit inside like a traditional jam. I did a lot of research finding the right box and ribons and the right baby pink colour etc...but our God daughter deserves every minute of it!! And I couldn't think of a sweeter gift for the guest for coming to this sweet baby girl christening...














AFM- I bought her the cutest christening dress today! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! She will look like a little princes...I will post a pic tomorrow to show it you ... even though I wanted to buy her a white colour her mom told me she wanted something ivory so ivory it is!...

Baby dust to us all!

Anton,
What a beautiful gift. I love the name Eleni. It's beautiful. No doubt all of that took a lot of time but I know they'll appreciate it very much. It's all so very beautiful!!!!!!!

[deftonesmo]

Nancy: COngrats

Anton: They're beautiful!

AFM: m/s has set in . . .feeling pretty queasy and nauseous . . . it didn't start until 9 weeks with DD!

Anton,
My mouth dropped open when I saw the gifts you made, they are just gorgeous and beautifully-detailed in all the pink ribbon!
Thank you for sharing her celebration with us! Over the weekend, my best friend came down with her 7 yr old daughter, Hannah. I had the best time with them, took them to the beach and played in the bay all day Saturday. Then we all went out to a nice seafood restaurant called Boondocks and met another family we know there. I went to Bath and Body Works the day before my company came and picked out Hannah a Sweet Pea gift set in a little metal pink bucket and painted her name on the front. Also made her a couple hair accessories with the ribbons I already had in my craft room. One of them I used black satin ribbon and the hot glue gun, creating an elegant "Gabrielle" bow. With another hair clasp, I took a big sunflower and glued tourquise (blue) beads on every other petal...Well she loved the hair stuff more than the "Sweet Pea", too funny! I just remember when I was her age, all I would ever tell everyone I wanted for birthdays and Christmas was hair clasp! Even though I had two big brothers, I was the girly girl!

LYD- thinking of you tonight!

Nancy- Faint or not...a positive is a positive!!!! Congratulations. You are pregnant.

Akdelp- I'm with Anton. That decision has to be yours and DH. However I would say that you are in a good position since you have so many frosties and this is your first time. You can take a little less risk I think since you can have more FETs which are lower cost. I guess that is one way of thinking about it.

Texasgal- Yehaaaaaaw for your doubling beta.

Deftones- My m/s is picking up too! Super scared today though that its listeria. There was nothing to eat at the meeting I was in today except cold cuts. I toasted them but they were still cool in the center. Listeria is super rare...but of course I am convinced I have it now. Sheesh...this pregnancy thing is as frightening as it is wonderful.

Hi ladies, I am bedrest after transfer. They put in 3 but one was so so. We debated thawing another one and transfer 4 but decided to leave the rest for another fet attempt if necessary.
Nancy, congrats! Awesome news!!!
Anton, your presents look beautiful!
Bliss, thank you for thinking of me.

[akdelp]

First off - Anton - those or awesome!!!! You do great work!

Wouldn't it be great to get us all together for a girls night out? Oh the fun it would be!

[BlissfulCS]

Yay! Congrats LYD10...you are PUPO! Three is a GREAT number.

[deftonesmo]

Quick crash for my cycling-buddies:

Lyd: Congratulations on being PUPO!! Rest up and let those embies stick!

Tess: You too!! Congratulations on being PUPO!! Hope the 2ww doesn’t make you nuts!

[LYD10]

my 48 of bedrest are almost over. urgh... i cant wait. i feel like such a slug just laying around and watching netflix for 2 days streight. my husband has been so good taking care of DS in the mornings and evenings, and luckily with FET i could schedule it for middle of the week so DS is in daycare during the day.
man, this is my 4th bedrest!!! i really need this to be my last one. and with the upcoming 2ww i have to avoid lifting DS again witch is another pain in the neck! i am just so sick of this. i really need this to work.
sorry - i am in a crabby mood from laying around for 2 days streight.
i wish they would figure out once and for all if bedrest is required. i am so sick of them prescribing stuff just in case. dont life over 10lb - how is that posible with a 25lb son?! sorry - i am in a really crappy mood. bedrest does it to me...
urghhh - another 5 hours of netflix and i can take a shower and go grocery shopping. and then back to work tomorrow. thank god!
if this doesnt work and i have to do it again - i am not going to be able to take bedrest days off work - i am jut going to have to do without it. i'll take the afternoon for the embryo transfer but next day i'll have to go back to work.

and with the lifting - that's another thing that just puzzles me. TMI, but all these drugs make us so constipated that the going to the bathroom process puts a lot more strain on the uterus than lifting - in my opinion. this just is so illogical why we cant lift, but bearing down is ok...

sorry for the rant, ladies. i am just so sick of this.

[deftonesmo]

Lyd: I hear ya. Have you tried Colace (sp?) for the constipation? Drink lots of water, blah blah blah. AFM, I tried not to lift DD (13 months), but c'mon . . . nearly impossible . . . and I still got a BFP . . . I let others hold her, but when I was by myself, I picked her up . . . when DH is around, have him pick up the baby, and you do it when you have to . . . you'll be great and you'll be getting your BFP is no time!
