WOW, everyone really got chatty today! lol
Helene - Welcome!! Lots of talkers in here so you will always have something to read every day.
Your next u/s is a few days before mine. I hope you post pics of your little bean! I seriously have to upgrade mine.
I don't have any pics since they were little blobs and now you can tell they are little human beings. I am still amazed.
Katie - Yeah, not a bikini bod here either.
Not since after DD and before IVF. lol I think my belly looks huge, but I guess that's because I had babies before. Gaining 2 pounds with a belly measuring 18 weeks isn't bad right? What do the books say? lol I have nothing but Google to rely on.
At least by him saying they look similar to you both, it must mean that hair and eye color are similar right?? As far as health, I suppose that if anything (god forbid) happen, you will be given the information? All I know, is that knowing simple little things isn't violating anything and I will offer that info when donating my embies. DH and I are both blonde hair blue eyes so it's like 99% that the babies will be the same. I am short and he is tall though... wonder how that will turn out for our little ones? lol He keeps telling me "Ford babies are all big" and trying to scare the crap out of me since I have two in there.
The house does feel like home! It just isn't put all together yet. We have been focusing on getting the other place ready for inspection. We had a pre-inspection today and we weren't done but got a thumbs up.. just have a few things to finish up which we planned on doing. No worries though... I didn't do much at all. All I did was pressure wash the porches and the washer is very light. Moving back and forth hurt my wrist a bit, but it was nothing, got better right away after I was done.
Angela - Welcome and congrats on your BFP!!! I am due November 4th but dount I will make it that far. As long as I make it far enough I will be happy! My birthday is October 12th so some think I might get a birthday present. I would prefer closer to a Halloween surprise!
Claudia - You and your luck getting u/s! lol I had to go to the ER to get two of mine, though one was a real emergency. Other than the ER visits, I had one with my RE and one with a tech to make sure I wasn't miscarrying... that's when I found out I was having twins and got the pic in my siggy.
Waiting from 7 weeks to 11w4d was torturous! I was so worried, but after what I have seen, my nerves are much more calm. I know exactly what you are feeling, wanting to know all the time how things are and see it as proof! I think during the 1st tri it is all we think about is "proof" since we can't feel them in there or see them or see a big ole belly bump. Come 2nd tri it becomes so much more real, but of course by the 3rd we will all be big and miserable... but very happy!!
I scheduled my hair appt right before transfer and then scheduled my repeat for three months later. I thought I was being safe, but turned out if we can't color before the 3rd month, then I was also clever.
I could use a touch up now, but I can wait till May 4th... at least I think that is when my hair appt is. lol
Lou - I totally agree on not sharing the IVF. It is personal and creates too many questions when people know. They always want to know what's wrong with you or your DH. Even if you do share about IVF, what the issues are, are without a doubt no one's business. I see it best just not to share.. anymore that is. I did share as you might remember reading with my neighbor and that turned out to be a disaster. I learned my lesson. I am in a new neighborhood and no one has to know! lol
Malya - To post pics you have to get a photobucket account. Upload a picture there and go back to your home page. Under the picture will be codes. You want to copy the IMG code and paste it to your post. You can also EDIT your picture to make it smaller if it is huge and make it itty bitty like mine in my siggy, then copy and paste it.
I hope this helps! Don't worry if it is really big though... all the better for us to see your little peanut!
Boots - Welcome! Glad we are all in one place now! It will be easier to chit chat now! Lots of sonos happening next week! I think the thread will be full of pics!
Gi - The unpacking is going very slow. I have organized the kitchen a bit. It looks normal anyway, I still have to rearrange where the movers put all the pots and pans and other things. We mostly have been focusing on getting the other place from under our hair. Monday we won't have to worry about it anymore and can focus on putting this house together. Lots to do, but it should get done in a decent time.. or so I hope! I don't like it in Texas much, but I hope we get to stay here for a little while. I don't want to have to move the babies too early!
Babyluv - How are your other babies adjusting to the pregnancy? Do they understand what's going on yet? That's great that you adopted! You get the best of both worlds!
but I will sacrafice my vanity for a few more weeks!!! Oh, I also ordered 3 belly bands on ebay for like $14 bucks!! I will let you know how they are when I get them in a few days!!!
You just take it easy putting the last of the house together, some things can wait til DH can lift them.
