Tna - Sending you more hugs...I so wish this turned out differently this time.

Hijump - Wow - I can't believe you've already delivered those boys! I remember when we were all on the Cyclers thread together - how time flies. I bet your boys are so precious - Congratulations!!! Things sound like they're going great for you - stop in and give us updates when you can!

Dixie - I love this snow! Especially b/c they're closing our firm tomorrrow b/c of it...and we NEVER close! However, I'm so busy, I'll be working anyway...at least it will be from home, though.

Happy Sunday everyone! Not sure if I told you all, but as of last Tuesday, Maggie weighed in at 15lb 2oz, Sophie at 14lb 5oz, and Charlie at a whopping 16lb 12oz! What a huge difference in a little less than 9 months (Maggie at birth 2lb 9oz, Charlie 2lb 7oz, and Sophie at 1lb 4oz). It is amazing to see them. I also just looked closer at the 3-6 month clothes I have been putting them into and realized that most of that clothes is rated at being for weights of 8.5-12.5 lbs! Opps. Guess next week we are moving up to 6-9 months! Wonder what the weights are supposed to be there?

[MRG22]

Erin- Sounds like they are doing great

[trying4baby1]

I was supposed to start my meds tonight for my ivf cycle for baby #2 but got benched because my bw showed that I have Hyperthyroid! WTF.....I demanded a re-count but it is still showing messed up T4, T3 and TSH. I don't get it. I have to see a different doc this week but even if he figures out what's happening, I'll be out this cycle! I am really mad.

[Fer]

T4B - Crap! I know how you feel b/c that's what happened to me b/f my first IVF cycle. What was your TSH level at? Are you currently on any thyroid meds?

[elli75]

T4B- I'm sorry you've been benched. I hope your thyroid levels get back on track soon.

Hijump- Congrats!!!

AFM- I'm officially in the 2nd trimester today! I was able to see my OB today (instead of Wed) because we had 30" of snow this weekend and school was closed today and we're expecting 5-10 more inches of snow Tues-Wed. I was able to get someone's canceled appointment. Everything is going perfectly with the baby and the hb was 172. I am still having daily m/s, but it isn't quite as bad as it was earlier. I do have a nasty cold though and I have to try to get over it quickly so it doesn't trigger my asthma. I really hope I don't end up with a severe asthma attack because I'm scared of having to be put on steroids when PG, but my OB said it is more dangerous if the baby doesn't get enough oxygen. I'm so thankful to have made it this far and to have off from school to get some rest.

[BC-tnahope]

t4b, Im so sorry

elli, Congratulations!!

Ok this is so weird that this just happened. I just had someone call me and ask me if I was interested in adopting a baby. The women is 38 and has an 18yo and doesnt want anymore children. I think she is like 7 months or so. Bad part is she did admit to using crack early on in PG but no one knows if she has used since. Im trying to research the effects of crack. Wow this is hard!!!! I need to think fast, she doesnt want to deal with an agency but is going to do what she has to in the next week.
