hoping - Yayy team pink So happy for you!

SarahO - Hope the sickness has calmed down! Almost vacation....hang in there.

lanie - Love all your Facebook pics. Eva is a super cutie!

VA - Wow, 4 months already. I'm glad you're enjoying every little moment. Time flies. Happy First Christmas!

Dorey - Hope you're getting lots of rest & relaxation in!

country - Keeping busy is a good thing....but take care of you! Glad you're still planning. How's little Arabella?

AFM - I'm stll hangin' in ...and trying not to freak out. DH keeps reminding me that the pregnancy is on "autopilot".....there's nothing we can do to change anything. I've been taking it easy. All my Christmas duties are done. My family has a weird tradition...if you didn't bottle it, cook it, bake it, or make it...don't give it. It's all homemade gifts. It's made Xmas alot easier...and funner! Although, I don't get any homemade wine this year!
So, about my numbers...lol. My initial beta at 16dp5dt was 2762. At 20dp5dt it was 9810. That's a doubling time or 52hrs. My RE seems happy with this and is not sending me for more. Are these good? Do they mean anything? Am I crazy? lol Should I push for another? Do I need a kick in the butt?

[hoping for #1]

Caper - I think the numbers sound great. It's hard waiting and I always felt better having more betas done so maybe you can ask for one more? When will they do the first u/s? I think your family's tradition sounds fun and a lot more meaningful.

SarahO - countdown to vacay! hope the cold is finally going away. Home stretch until your little girl arrives!

Country - are you in NZ now? hope the travels went well.

AFM, we leave Friday for Canada to see DH's family. Looking forward to the time away. Follow up Ob appt on Jan 5th and enjoying the belly growth!

Caper. ..... Those are great betas...sounds like your bub is growing nicely . I love your family tradition. So nice.

Hoping have a great time in Canada...think next year you will have a bub in your arms...

Sarah... Not long until you have a Christmas break and rest..I hope Christmas is exciting in your house..

Well I made it to nz. a was great traveller she did not cry and managed a sleep on both flights. She was so naughty in the parents room..pulled 2 toliet rolls apart..lol then dropped her food pouch in the toliet..glad it was in a sealed bag..then she got into the rubbish bin..al while my bladder was bursting..lol... Needless to say she survived without her mother resorting to less desirable means..lol. So we had a quiet morning with catch up sleeps..then out in e afternoon to get a car seat..the one my parents borrowed was for an older child..so glad that was fixed. Tomorrow is out for lunch and santa photos....let's hope that A is good.
Other than that I'm exhausted..poor sleep as A woke a few times disorientated.

Caper - I'm so happy and excited for you. Those are great betas. Hopefully you can relax a bit, but we all know it's impossible.

Country - glad the trip went smoothly. Hope you and Arabella get settled quickly so you can enjoy your trip.

Hoping - Team Pink! Congrats! I always say having two boys saved us a fortune because otherwise the closet would be full of frills.

Dorey - I think someone said you had a planned c-section coming up. When is it?

VA - Rolling is so much fun. I know I'm going to regret it, but I can help showing them how to get around. Dylan loves it and laughs when we help him. I know what you mean about being so cute you want to cry. DH and I say it all the time! : )

SarahO - The countdown is on. Glad you're finally starting to feel better. The end is uncomfortable enough without being sick.

Here's the little guys Christmas pictures. Dylan, then Keane.

[Sarah O]

Only 3 days left!

Nms I love the pics and thinking of them rolling around. U will have such a great holiday.

Country glad travel was ok although ur arrival story is too funny! Ryan never sleeps well at new places. He gets worse the lOnger we are gone too. Hope Santa pics are cute!

Hoping have fun in the frozen north! Enjoy ur belly bump!

Caper. Dh is right about the waiting.....it is sure awful though...... Ur betas are great though. Look like text book singletons! Perfect! Do what u need to do to survive mentally. I would beg for an us at 7 to 8 weeks.... Just to know. What is ur next step? I am praying for u. I like ur tradition for gifts.

Afm I am in 2 weeks vacation! Yipppppeeeeeee! Starting to get really big too! I plan to work on her room some more next week. Can't wait for Santa!

I love you all. If we decide to donate our 2 frozen blasts later, y'all would be my first choice .

NMS - your babies are so adorable!!!

I feel bad, cause I could have kept up, but I think a part of me needed to move on from this part of my adventure. Especially hard is knowing that we probably won't have the opportunity to have another baby, and I do really want another one!!

You girls truly are an inspiration, and a great example of women supporting women. I can't believe how far our journies have taken us!

[country girl]

Merry Christmas everyone I hope that you all have a great day with our babies/babies to be
and over indulge way too much...may Santa bring you your wishes.

Happy Holidays! Hope everyone is doing well. Sarah and hoping I hope the babies are cooking up nicely. Tomorrow is my amnio for lung maturity and Thursday is my c/section. Ive gotten to the no sleep point and I'm miserable at night, so 2 nights is about the max I have left in me!!

Ill keep u posted!
