Girls, I have been trying to post, but getting lots of errors. I don't know what is going on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Andnichole- good luck on your second beta tomorrow

Neffi- I know the bad days will come and go. Hopefully you ca find something to help cheer you up. I wish I could say something to make you feel better. What is wrong with your cat? I myself am a cat lover, and I can't imagine being without any of the 3 of them. I have shelled out some serious money keeping them healthy. One had a urinary blockage, needed surgery, and now can only eat vet food that costs $40 a bag, but I love him to death...

Unexplained- we will all be routing for you for your FET. I know they say fresh is better, but I have read so many success stories about FET, so maybe for some people it works better.

Tammy- Congrats on a bfp on hpt! When is your beta again? It looks like good news for you!

I had my 10 wk u/s today at the fert clinic. Everything went great. The baby is stil measuring smaller, which is just pushing my due date back a coiuple of days. It was so fun to watch because the baby was moving like crazy. The tech had to wait for him/her to stop so she could get the heartbeat, which was a healthy 171. The pic is not very clear, because the clinic does not have as good of a machine as the ob, but what you can really see in the pic is how much of the sac the baby now occupies, which is why my belly is starting to grow.

Here is the pic from today

I think our website is back!!!

Michelle-Thank you for posting the beautiful picture of your peanut :) you're starting to show, how exciting! that's one of the things that excites me most about getting pregnant, I can't wait to have a huge belly (hopefully sometime after March for me!)

TAMMYS--Yeeeahhh!!! congratulations sweetheart!

Neffi--I'm glad you're feeling better. Hang in there, we are doing this and we are going to hold our children in our arms sooner rather than later, we deserve it!

Unexplained--same goes for you...we are having our babies...ya hear me? I know exactly how you feel about finding out about other pregnant women, I've been feeling that way since I had my miscarriage in 2006; heck! one of my classmate is pregnant right now and that's ALL she talks about... however, I agree with Neffi, there's something about the women in this forum that makes me feel differently; in this case, I truly feel happy for the ladies here because I KNOW how MUCH they have all gone through, I love reading their positive stories AND it gives me hope that soon (this year!) I will be one of them sharing the beautiful story of my growing child(ren). Hang in there sister friend, we are doing this.


Langlenik--how are you doing hon?

Ok dears, have a great night.

Future Mamas,
I had a follow up ultrasound done yesterday to check on the healing on the lining seperation. It was soooo great to see my little baby movin around kicking and touching his face (I say his, but that just my thoughts). The heartbeat was 181 and measuring 11 weeks as it should. :D . The separation is healing nicely yeah! 8)

I love this u/s. It actually looks like a baby now :lol:

My goodness. I was going nuts the past couple of days not seeing anyone post. I am glad the site is back up!

TammyS: Oh my gosh! Congratulations!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear your beta results on Monday!

Neffi211: I hope your cat is doing better. Enjoy the Bon Jovi concert and hope you have a happy birthday on Monday!

CT-Michele: That is an awesome u/s picture. I'm so glad things are going well for you!

Unexplained: Thank you for the well wishes. I am curious to see if you are right about it being more than one baby! Wishing you all of the best with your FET - maybe you are one of those who does better with FET!?!

Schel67: That is a great picture! I'm glad that your separation is healing well!

I just got the call for my 2nd beta result. It is up to 3855 (my first result was 1676) so my doubling time is every 1.66 days. One more beta test on Monday and then I can schedule my u/s.

andnichole- awesome second beta! I am so glad you doubled...looks like you are gearing up for a great first u/s...multiples maybe??

neffi- glad to hear your cat is doing a bit better, and have a good birthday weekend!

schel- that is a beautiful picture...isn't it cool when it actually starts to look like a baby. DH and I were amazed by watching it move around too. glad to hear that seperation is healing nicely.

blondzella- I felt bloated the entire time. It never really went away for me.

esperanza- how are you doing? I bet school is keeping you quite busy. I am overloaded with homework for this weekend.

As for me- I think I am going to try and buy some maternity clothes this weekend. I was trying to wait one more week, as I will then be on winter vacation at school, but I don't think I am going to make it. i can not believe how rapid the growth has been in just the past week. I had to unbutton my pants at work today and wear them that way. Happy Friday everyone!
