Children

My darling daughter has gotten so big now. She is already 6 weeks and 11 lbs. She is such a joy! I love just holding and looking into her eyes. She is starting to smile and make new cooing noises. She loves her hair being stroked.

She is such a good girl...we really got lucky. She has already started to sleep up to 5.5 hours through the night. Not always consistent but getting there. We had some photos taken of her recently and she looks so big. I really felt like I had ...

OMG! I finally had my darling little girl! She is such an angel.

On my 37th week I caught an awful cold brought home by my DH. I am still getting over it ugh! I started gaining a lot of weight towards the end...water. I was going in for NST's twice weekly and AFIs once a week as well as seeing my ob once a week. Everything seemed fine until I got sick and my blood pressure started getting very high. On my 38th week I was confined to bedrest and had to lay on my left side ...

It's been a long time since I've made any entries. I'm so close to my due date now, can't beleive it. Our little girl will be here soon!

I am physically tired, feeling very heavy, nasal congestion, sore joints, numb fingers, swollen feet/ankles and calfs. Aren't I pretty sight? Although, I didn't want her to be born in December at this point I just want her to come soon. My peri says she looks great and would be fine if I delivered early...this was about a week ago.

Okay DH and I can't wait for our 18-20 week u/s by my OB so I am going in on Sat to one of those keepsake ultrasound places to have it done. They say they can do early gender determination if our baby is cooperating. If not we can go back in a few weeks for a free peak again. I can hardly wait!

I have a bladder infection and have been on antibiotics for 4 days now. I am not feeling well at all. I'm not sure what is going on...I hope it is not a kidney infection. I have been ...

Yesterday I was released from my RE. I was happy but yet very sad. I hugged everyone goodbye and started to cry. They prepared my little graduation package which included a diploma, copies of my records, birth certificate that I need to fill out when our child is born and mail back to them and a silver spoon. So cute!

We got to videotape the last 2 u/s visits. At 10weeks our baby was busting a move! It was so awesome to see her move around like that. At 11 weeks (yesterday) ...

Woke up at 4 yesterday and went to the bathroom. It was dark out and for some reason I felt the need to check my liner and turned on the light. There was a lot of red blood and more in the toilet with clots. I freaked out and woke up my DH to tell him. He came running over and was very worried. I couldn't go sleep after this.

DH and I just laid in bed thinking it was all over. I just thought what else could it be? I must have m/c. I got up and took a shower and just got ready ...

Today I had my 2nd ultra sound and we saw one little bean! I knew we would see at least one! Nothing in my tubes at all...what a relief! I pointed to the u/s screen and asked my RE if that was another one and he said no, but it's too early to tell if there is more than one? I guess he means if it splits?

I think my RE is just extra precautious of giving out too much hope until he sees something in the uterus. He congratulated us today. So strange cuz he was so negative up until ...

1100 (17dp3dt) it almost went up 5x from my 2nd beta. My RE is kinda pissing me off right now. He is so negative and is concerned this is an ectopic or chemical preg. I doubt it is a chemical cuz my numbers are rising? And ectopics are usually slow rising. He tells me yesterday he is "cautiously" optimistic and that he can't guarantee anything. GEEZ! Throw me a bone won't you? I don't think it's either of those and why does he have to be so negative? He made no mention that it could ...

My 2nd beta was 233, it more than doubled and I can't even tell you how relieved I was. I think waiting for this second beta was worse than the first one. I guess cuz I knew I was already preg from the HPT and was not expecting a negative result.

Monday is my 3rd beta and I'm not so uptight about it.

I am still feeling all sorts of pains and pulls and had a middle backache yesterday.

I told my dad on Friday that he was gonna be a grandfather and ...

Haven't posted here in a while. I had my first beta on 5/10/05, 11dp3dt and it was 63. I was very upset and worried cuz it was so low. I thought it was strange since I had been feeling cramping since day one of transfer. I HPT on 9dp3dt and got a big fat nothing on FRED. On 10dp3dt I tested on an EPT and Clear Blue Easy both came up positive right away...another reason I thought I would be higher.

Well I'm awaiting the results now. I only had about 2 hours of sleep last night ...
