Beautiful Babies Due in 2011 (Combined Group)

[Happy Bunny]

My beta is Tuesday. I pretty much wish that I could sleep through all the first trimester worries and wake up for the second trimester fun.

Congratulations, Barbara! What wonderful news. I hope all goes well with your beta. Can't wait to hear how things go!

Well ladies, baby Denver not here yet. I had a lot of contractions and bad hip pain on Friday night/Saturday morning. Barely slept. However, no regular pattern ever developed. They would be 5 or even 3 mins apart for almost an hour and then just stop for an hour or so. Then they would start up pretty intense and close together again. Oh well, tomorrow it is! That is fine, I wanted it to be my regular OB who does the c-section. She is also eager to do it. If I went this weekend, she was not the one from the practice on call. She knows all my history by heart at this point and has done all kinds of research. Most regular ob's will never see a TRAP sequence pregnancy. Since I am so far along, my high risk ob does not need to deliver me. Well, Denver will be here tomorrow afternoon! So excited & nervous.

Mamaboo- will be thinking of you tomorrow. Can't wait to see pics of little Denver!

Barbara- wow... Congrats. That is quite fast but sounds like you know what you want. I had 6 transfers. Got pregnant 2 of 3 on 3dt and 0 of 3 on 5dt. Go figure. I had cycles with 10 embryos that failed and Chloe came from a cycle where she was the only embryo. It ready only does take one.... The right one.

Mamaboo - Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to see pics of Denver!

Barbara - Congratulations!! I'm so beat right now, I can't imagine being pregnant again LOL! But Maribel was a 3dt. We only had 5 eggs on retrieval so there was no way we'd ever even attempt a 5dt. We transferred all 3 of our 3-day embies that fertilized and got lucky with our little one. Definitely let us know how the betas go!

Kelley & Margi - I love the pics of your little ones! Soooooo many cuties on this thread!

Barbara- I still can't get over how exciting that news is. I think it'll be great that the kids will be close in age. Congrats again and can't wait to hear the beta results.

Mamaboo- good luck tomorrow!! I can't wait to see pics of little Denver. Sorry the contractions have been plating games with you though- not much longer now.

Kim- what great pics!! And much like you I would be beyond proud to have nursed, got up on my shoulders, and burped both babies! They are adorable!

Sorry for everyone else I missed, just wanted to jump on here and post a quick pic of the girls.

This pic is them after their first baths at home, all cuddled up with each other in their bouncer seat.

Barbara - Wow! Congratulations!!! How exciting! I don't think you're crazy at all, but I was completely surprised. Can't wait to hear your numbers!

Mamaboo - Best wishes hon!!!

Blair - What beauties!!! I love the snuggled pics of twins! We never got any pics of ours snuggled...

afm - Brady and Jaxon hit the big 5 month mark tomorrow!!! Can't believe how fast time has flown and how far we've come.

Jaxon right after he woke up from his nap, so he doesn't have much enthusiasm LOL



Brady sometime after a bottle and before a nap, so he's in a playful mood

Wow Barbara huge Congratulations and I totally don't think you are cray at all. I am a bit jealous. I wish I could try again so soon but because of c sec I am determined to wait until spring to start trying again. I would totally do it now if I could. For now I am training to run a half marathon in April and afterwards I think we will begin talking about baby #2. Anyhow congratulations again and how exciting about your kids being so close in age. Can't wait to hear the beta

Crashing but I I had to re-read Barbara's post and make sure I was on the right page, wow you two didn't waste much time. I hope to be cycling with you and Annahope in 2012. We will be going for our 4th iui sometime in late January but I'm still believing in miracles, I know they happen everyday. Cogratulations once again Barbara!

Barbara - CONGRATS! That is so exciting! (what if it's twins? How do you feel about Irish triplets? )

[Happy Bunny]

Leroa: I was going to use the phrase "Irish Twins" but I wasn't sure it was common enough that everyone would know what it meant. lol! Now for Irish Triplets (holy poop!)... We're okay with twins; it would be scary for a lot of reasons but we'd make it work. Hopefully, there's just one in there.

Thanks for the congrats ladies. It is very soon but I'm glad that we moved fast as my egg quality wasn't so hot this time. I believe that my egg basket has started it's downward spiral.

Mamaboo - Hope everything is going great for you today! Can't wait to hear about Denver's arrival!

Steph - Happy 5 months old to Brady & Jaxon! I loved the new pics of them, you've got two very handsome boys there!

AFM, Maribel had her 4 month appointment today (she's actually 4.5 months old at this point) and weighed in at 17lbs 3.5 oz!! No wonder my arms are exhausted after carrying her around!! She loves her solid foods and my food processor is finally getting some use. She adores sweet potatoes, butternut & acorn squashes, green beans, and pears. She's so-so on apples and rice cereal. She's 25.5 inches long now and as ridiculous as it sounds, we're having to retire some of her 9 month sleepers because she's a little sausage in them. Her poor toes just want to burst right through the things! She still fits in some of them, but I can't believe I've got to start washing her 12 month sleepers and 9 month outfits. Who the hell comes up with these sizes anyways?

Here's a picture of Maribel today (19 weeks, 6 days old) - and sorry if it's huge, I don't know why that keeps happening despite my resizing it...ugh!

Amanda
Maribel is just beautiful and I can't believe she is sitting in the bouncer already. I can't wait to get Paul one of those but I keep thinking that since he does not sit up by himself yet it must be too early. So when did you start solid foods? I really want to start when he is 4 months because he is suck a picky eater. He still only eats 3-4 oz every 3-4 hours. I hear of babies on hear eating 5-6 oz being younger than him so I guess he just isn't a big eater. Paul is 14 1/2 lb now and is teathing like crazy so he is pretty miserable. On the bright side he has been sleeping at night for a few weeks now So anyways any advice you can give on how and when to start solids would be great. I think he is ready. He begs for my food when I eat in front of him and even tried eating breast milk from a spoon and did well

Amanda- Maribel is absolutely beautiful!!

Just wanted to post a quick pic of the girls from a photo session with my brother in law.
