[HopeforVA]

NMS - They are SOOOOOO cute. And the holding hands shot is great too!

[hoping for #1]

NMS - oh my goodness, what an adorable pic!!! and you are way to sweet using your bday wish on me - thank you!! glad to hear you are doing well.

SarahO - can't wait to hear more details!

AFM, trying to get through this day and have been less than productive! LOL Super excited for tomorrow and will post once we get back. My in-laws arrive on Thursday for the weekend and thinking now that I must have been crazy scheduling like I did. Oh well, at least it will make the weekend go quickly and hopefully shorten the 2ww.

[Sarah O]

Hi Girls!

Hoping- I am sooo excited for you tomorrow too!!! I can't wait to hear how it went, how many you put back etc. I know from your blog you said you were strongly leaning towards one. If you dethaw them, can you refreeze what you decide not to put back? I never have enough embabies to understand how this whole frozen thing works. All my love and sticky vibes to you!!!! I scheduled a flight to go and visit my parents this weekend.... so I know what you mean about crazy scheduling. My RE says that as long as you aren't bungee jumping, riding bulls, etc. everything else is fine. He also says no strenuous exercise. He reminded me again (gently) to stay off the internet. LOL!!!! So....... are you going to POAS? I am going to try and wait. I think I want to enjoy being pupo as long as I can. Of course.... if one of you do it..... I may be tempted!!

NMS- SUPER cute picture!!!!! I can't believe they are getting so big already. If the twins work for me I will have to get lots of advice from you! I have had 2 different nannies. While aspects of them are great, it is definitely a love/hate relationship. It is tough finding one with the work ethic we have.... or they wouldn't be nannies.

Country- How is work/Ms. Arabella?? Getting ready to ski??? Gotta love it after a missing a season being preggers.!

Dorey- That is the absolute craziest story I have heard!!!!! I told DH too and he was amazed! I am cautiously optimisitic that this will be a wonderful, normal pg for you! Fingers crossed!!!!!!

VA- When you do leave for your trip? I forgot..... I am super jealous!

Caper- If you are lurking.... you are in my prayers.

Smooches to everyone I missed!

AFM- 2 in the oven and 2 made it to the freezer. I am taking extra estrogen patches (3 per day instead of 2) so I already had to order more meds just to make it to the beta. I ordered more patches and more progesterone since with the 2 frozen even if this doesn't work..... I have one more shot!! So nice to know! DS has hand/mouth/foot virus.... arggghhh so waiting to see if he is well enough to fly on Thursday to visit my parents in Oklahoma. He DR is fine with the traveling, but my Mom has some autoimmune stuff and doesn't want him to come unless he is better. I thought traveling would be a nice way to make the 2ww go faster. Anyway.... he is out of daycare the whole week, so I hope I get to go since I have to miss work anyhow.

Hello, everyone!!

oh my i've missed you all so much. Our computer died two weeks ago , so i haven't posted in a long while, but I do try to read up almost every night to see how everyone is.

country- arabella is beautiful and i am sure you are the perfect mommy absolutely love the pics

sarah1124- hey...you live in MD, right? why don't we get our boys together for a play date?? (unless we live an hour away from each other? but we can still meet in the middle ) love your project 365 with PB&J!

linds - your two are also beautiful! love how different they look. how's alex with them? (alex is your son's name, right?)

lanie- you are getting CLOSE. wow. i remember the minute i found out you were pregnant i can't wait to meet eva soon! but not too soon

doreydo: OMG you pulled a GALPAZ!! (lol love how hopeforVA (i think??) keeps using that phrase) i am soooo sooo happy (and just a slight bit jealous...shh) of you!

hoping- love your blog and hope this is YOUR cycle! i know it will be and can't wait to hear good news.

NMS- again- gorgeous! wow, we as a group did very well in the baby cuteness department, i must say then again, i am a bit biased. lol

saraho- yay for two buns in the oven!!! and two more in the freezer? nice! can't wait to hear the good news

hopeforVA- hey! \enjoy the trip!! love hearing updates

caper-always thinking of you

AFM- netanel/ baby nate is a feisty, gorgeous (imho!) child who loves to laugh (hysterically and when he's super tired, maniacally. it's adorable) and play and go for long walks and flirt with EVERYONE. oh and eat his mommy's food. like he thinks it's totally normal for a 5 month old to eat table food and drink from a cup! hope to post pics soon! but nate is kicking me now for attention. sorry if i mixed up anyone or forgot anyone.

hugs hugs hugs,

galpaz

NMS- They are so cute, I love the pic! How are you feeling and doing?

Hoping- I'm thinking of you today and can't wait to hear how you made out....this is it!

Sarah O- Yea!!! you are now PUPO.....with two in the freezer...love it! Hopr you are feeling good....fingers crossed for this cycle!

Glapaz- So nice to hear from you, can't wait to see more pics of the little man. Hope you are doing FABULOUS!

AFM- 28 weeks today....WOW! I swear it still feels like a dream to me. The room is coming along really nice I will be sure to post pics soon. This weekend I am throwing a shower for my BFF she is having a little boy due 6/21 so we are getting close.....we joke and say he's my future son in-law so I guess this is one of many parties I will throw for him. I am excited! Off to the OB today for my monthly check up.

Hope you are all doing well, Know you are always in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi everyone - just woke up from a fabulous nap and wanted to check in. Turns out they only thawed 2 embryos and both were 6 cells, grade B+. Our nurse said this is great for day 3 embies. We ended up just transfering one. First beta is Friday, May 27! If the other embryo continues to develop, they can re-freeze it as a blast so we'd have 2 blasts and 12 day 2 embryos remaining. I wrote more details on my blog if you care to read it. thanks for all the well wishes.

[Sarah O]

Hoping- so glad ur et went well. All my love, sicky vibes and baby dust. Hey, even veteran barbie has some left!

More ltr... Hate typing on phone...

[HopeforVA]

Hoping - Glad your transfer went well (disregarding the painful shot and full bladder discomfort)! I hope you're resting up and that the embie is settling in nice and tight. I think the visit with the in-laws will be good in keeping you nice and distracted. On the not-drinking-wine question, you can always say you've been under the weather this week and even took a few days off work and are holding off until you get all your energy back. That also gives you a good excuse to be lazier than normal...!

SarahO - How are you hanging in there?!

AFM - At work, so have to be quick. Have my monthly OB appt today with that awful glucose test some of you have warned about. In my attempt to avoid sugary cereals this morning (my downfall), I had McD's for breakfast and the hash brown (no sugar but lots of fried grease) has me about ready to puke. Ugh...

[BOSBABY]

Dorey: WOW!!!!!! That is soooooo exciting!!!! How are you and DH handling the news!! That is just amazing!!!! You are the third person I know to go through an IVF cycle and then get pg right after having their babies. AWESOME!! SO happy for you!!!!

SarahO: CONGRATS on being PUPO!!! YAY!!!! 2 blasts are great!!! Feet up and pineapple on hand!!! On board the crazy train! We all boarded with you so let us know when you feel like you are losing it!!! Sending lots of prayers your way!

Hoping: CONGRATS on being PUPO!!! I am soo excited for you! Glad you transferred one and feel comfortable about the decision. I know what a difficult decision it is to make. We only had two frozen that we thawed and still only wanted to transfer one. May 27th can’t come soon enough! Saying lots of prayers for you.

Gal: I am going to Baltimore next weekend for Memorial Day! I have never been. We are staying on the Harbor. Any recommendations of what to see/do/where to eat??

Country: She is getting so big and has changed so much already. It is so weird to think your winter is just starting! I have to say, I cringed at the site of the snow! Glad to hear that getting back to work is going well.

Hope: Yes, the hospital recommends a labor bag and then a post-partum bag. I have not begun to pack either of them yet but have made lists of what I need to put in them. I will be packing them within the next week or two!! Good luck on the Glucoses test. Yuck!

NMS: Happy Birthday!!! I hope it was a great one!! The boys are just beautiful!!!!


AFM: Have my weekly appt today. Can’t believe I am on the weekly appt schedule! Not too much going on. Getting bigger everyday. Did some maternity shots. You can view a few of them by going to Flutter By Moments, click on galleries, maternity; my pictures are the first 6 starting with the miracle belly. overall I like how they came out.


HUGS to all I missed!!! Hope you are all doing well!!!!!

BOS - I LOVE the pics, especially the one of your dog looking at your belly. too cute!! Is the nursery all ready? would love to see pics.

SarahO - how goes the wait so far? I had cramping off and on yesterday, which I don't remember from our fresh cycle. hoping the next week goes fast!
