Love the new pic Lou. Hope you are feeling well. How is the BFing going? Getting any better?

Margi- I think you are doing a fabulous job baking those babies too!

Kjm- LOVE the new ticker. Very cute.

Blair- thinking of you and hoping you are doing well. I can't believe our Cat's. They look terrible this year...but glad they didn't get shut out by LSU Tigers. Hoping its just a good day for Tigers in general...and that my Detroit Tigers will also bring home a win.

Anna- its great to hear that you are doing well and that baby Paul is getting so big! Love the picture despite the jersey. I am a Lions fan and for the first time in a decade I think we have a shot at a winning season.

AFM- not sure if I mentioned it but I ordered my bedding and got a GREAT deal. It arrived today and I am letting the anticipation build before I get it out and play with it. I am at my inlaws now since our water at home is turned off for the remodel. Thankfully they headed to Cali for 5 weeks today! I am so anxious to put the nursery together. I ordered my glider today. Still haven't ordered the furniture. I am hoping it goes on sale soon. All my other "big" items have so far. Trying to have patience.

DH put new crib together today. Hope to have the dresser up tomorrow. Curtains were up, but DH realized he bought one at 63" and the other at 84". He is taking the 84" back now. LOL. Rocker will go into DS new room, and we need to get a side table and new clothes hamper for him. His new room is in cherry, and the nursery is in white. The rocker was a light brown color, so it works in either room. However, I want to get a new one for nursery. I have one picked out and am trying to afford it. I think I will be there soon.

We bought a new house this summer. We had it picked out before we found out about the TRAP sequence pregnancy. The move was a pain, but we hired movers to pack & move us. My aunt came up from WV to unpack us. We were trying to get our old house on the market, and dreading it. However, someone who just started working again at the company I work at wants to buy it. He just hasn't been able to arrange financing. He asked to rent it until he can finance it, so we signed the lease today. That is one thing off our minds this winter. Things moving along.

We will have things ready before my c-section date whether it is moved up 3 wks or not. Phew!

Lou- What a beautiful littl girl!!! Those pics are adorable! Looks like you finally got that little miracle baby. Glad to hear you all are both doing well. Cant wait to hear all about it.

Alisa- I love the bedding you picked out for Evie- very cute!

Kat- How did your shower go today? Did you get some good stuff for baby Lucas?

Ashley- Sorry no progression yet but things can change immediately so you never know. I guess when Athena is ready then things will get started.

Mamaboo- Sounds like the nursery is starting to come together which is nice. Sorry about all the house issues though.

AFM- Got to attend my first Baby Shower today. Just a little wierd after always going to showers for other people. I had to stay in my wheelchair the whole time, and of course wasnt best dressed...but it was nice to see everyone. The girls now have tons of pink clothing, and should be set for the first few months. Will try to post pics sooner or later of my growing belly. sorry if i missed anyway...exhausted after 3 sleepless nights and a busy day today.

Lou- I'm so happy for you, chloe is gorgeous

Bliss- I'm assuming the pic you posted is your nursery decor plans-- love it!

Blair- fantastic that you've made it this far and fantastic that you were able to go to the shower!!

Lou- Congratulations :):) Chloe is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

[leorira11]

Lou - CONGRATS! She is amazing. I'm so happy for you.

Blair - keep baking those babies! Hospital bed rest sucks, but I promise that even a single day less in the NICU would be worth it.

Alicia - I can't believe you are getting so far along!

SD - almost there! That's crazy!

Ashley - you too! Soooo close! I can't wait to hear the announcement that she is here. I hope you are next!

nwquiz - so glad to hear from you -

AFM - not much. I got a job and had my first day of work. It's good to be busy again, but it just reminds me of how differently I thought this fall would be.

We are planning to continue with our cycles. We have a single frozen embryo and are planning a transfer by the end of November. Wish us luck -- I really hope we get our 'take home' baby. More and more, I've been reading blogs/stories of women who DON'T get the happy ending. I keep wondering if that will be us....

Sorry to be a downer. I miss you all and I'm stalking!

[MamaBoo]

Oh Leorira: Please, don't give up hope. You can get pregnant and have healthy embryos. There are things that can be done to help you carry your precious little bundle longer. I am so sorry for what you have been through and what you are going through now. I wish there was more that I could do for you other than just offer encouragement. Please, hang in there. I am still thinking of you and rooting for you!
