Today is our u/s. Finally! It isn't until 2. So it is going to be a long day. We are not seeing the re after only a nurse our re is crazy booked and we will only see her if there is a problem with the us. So fingers crossed we don't see her!
We have our first swim lesson of the summer. It is cool and cloudy. I am going to have to bribe dd to get in the pool. It rained all day yesterday the water is going to be freezing!!!
I spent all if sat cleaning my house and it looked great then with all the birthday party prep it is a shit show again. So glad I have no work and can clean today. I can't believe I just said that!!!
We have our second ultrasound tomorrow- can't wait! I'm pretty terrified that other than sore (and rapidly growing boobies) and exhaustion, I really don't have a lot of symptoms. I have a touch of nausea here and there, but nothing serious.
Other than that, it's a hugely busy week at work and I'm really just ready for July 5th
Good luck with your u/s ssg73! I have everything crossed for you guys.
Nothing new here. Still sick, still waiting for my CVS. I have another midwife appointment on the 9th, and I don't even know what it's for. Oh well, it's not like I have to schedule appointments around a job since I work freelance. In other news, it's our birthday week (H's birthday is 5 days before mine) and I feel awful that we haven't made any plans. Last year we were so sad that we just ignored them. I wanted to do something nice this year, just the two of us, but I'm not really feeling up to much of anything at the moment. It would be a total waste to go out for a nice dinner, and I don't even want to stray too far from my flat in case I need to be sick. I guess we should just postpone things.
Joining over here today! BFP on Friday, beta tripled on Sunday and my RE said she was very excited and confident for me so I'm celebrating the small victories but not letting myself get too excited with the loss history.
I'm sorry you're still feeling so cruddy loira. That's a tough spot when it goes on and on. I had a CVS with DS and it wasn't too bad. I'm happy to share the full run down if you're interested.
Third beta today. I'm still feeling good which of course, makes me nervous. I'm curious to see what number comes back.
We told my in-laws on Saturday which was a lot more exciting than I was anticipating. We went to their house for dinner, and H apologized to his dad for not doing anything for Father's Day (they were out of town), but he thought this may make up for it and showed them the video I took of the ultrasound last week (since H couldn't be there). FIL got it right away, it took my MIL a moment longer, but they were both so excited. My sweet MIL hugged us both and sobbed and sobbed. We're telling my parents next weekend. I don't think it will be quite as exciting since it's not their first grandchild, but it will be fun nonetheless.
Ultrasound on Thursday morning with the RE, and I believe we'll be released pending a good report. I got the NT scan scheduled for 2 weeks after that. Meeting with the midwife group this afternoon for a "Meet and Greet". I called them last week after my RE advised against using midwives to see if they've treated IVF pregnancies since that seemed to be the RE's issue. They suggested coming by to meet with them. Hopefully we'll get a feeling either way. I'm not used to going against my doctor's advice, but I don't think the RE fully realizes what the group is and I suspect she just has a general bias against midwives in the first place. I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable with the fact that I don't have OB care figured out at this point.

Yes, I'm always curious to know how it goes for people. Did you have it through the abdomen, or vaginally? Was there anything you were testing for specifically? We'll be testing for the trisomies, plus the 22q deletion V had, plus just checking to see that chromosomes are generally normal. I think the FISH results should come back pretty quickly, but the results for the 22q will take a couple of weeks.

No appointments for me this week. I have another ultrasound with the RE next week and then the NT scan 2 weeks after that. I called my OB a week and a half ago but wasn't able to make an appointment with them until after they'd heard from the RE. I guess I'll need to call them again this week.
We're telling my in-laws this weekend. I wish we could wait until after we had results from the NT scan, but in two weeks, we're going on a trip with two teenaged nephews on that side of the family, and I don't want to have to keep it a secret during the trip. We live on the opposite side of the country from my in-laws, but I'm assuming they'll all get together for the 4th and we can Skype in. DH and I discussed telling his mom beforehand, but I'm worried she'll let on to everyone before we get to tell them. I'm being selfish about it being a surprise, since I didn't get to announce to my family other than "yeah, the treatments worked."
loira, I just read what you posted on Got Pregnant about finding out the sex, and I've been thinking the same thing about how knowing the sex might help me bond with the baby, and if something goes wrong, that's the only relationship I'll have with it. It didn't seem nearly as morbid in my head as it does typed out.
ssg73, I'm so excited for you! I'm counting down the hours until we hear the results.

Mine was abdominal. We had some measurements come back abnormal at our NT scan so we opted for the CVS. I had it the same day. Their main concerns was Downs since the neck measurement was over the norm. I was on the table and the u/s tech had the wand on my belly to guide the doc. He warned me I was going to cramp a lot when the needle when in and not to panic. I'm not going to lie, it hurt like a bitch for about 90 seconds. After that, it was just cramping for a day or two. No spotting or bleeding. I took the rest of that day off and the next day as well and just took it easy. FISH results came back in 3 days and the full panel took about two weeks. Everything was fine and DS was just a big baby. I would do it again if we have any concerns with this pregnancy. I know you are terrified but the test itself wasn't awful. Hugs
We are flying out to visit the ILs this week for a few days. It will be the last time we see them before we head overseas so I'm excited about it. It will be the first time I've flown since pregnant, and I usually take an Ativan before flying when I'm not pregnant to keep my anxiety in check. My OB gave something similar to Benadryl to try in place of Ativan, and I'm just a little nervous and hoping it does the trick. I have so many flights coming up in the next couple months, I'm really praying it works!
I have a little AW: I have mastered driving manual enough I feel confident enough to drive alone without H (I think, I haven't actually done it yet) for the most part. But this makes me happy since we'll be shipping my car next week.

I'm not going to lie, it made a difference with V. Those last few weeks, knowing she was a girl made me love her even more. It also made our decision that much harder, and my grief that much more intense. So I don't know about this one. We have time to decide though.
So so tired. If anyone pulls the, Sleep now because you won't later BS, they will be slapped. I would love to sleep, but it is just not happening.
I seem to be entering the crappy sleep phase. Some nights its not bad, others I toss and turn all night. I feel you. I didn't get out of bed until 10am this morning because it was a rough night last night.

Lol. I got up at 4 because I gave up. The laundromat is oddly busy first thing on a Monday morning. And now I get to leave for work. I will be a true peach today.

Who knew that was the time to do laundry! I hope your day goes by super fast and idiots stay out of your way
Add me to the tired club. We got a new bed (tempurpedic adjustable), so I'm sleeping better than ever but just so tried.
I am so jealous! I love tempurpedic. We have the world's crappiest mattress on our crappy student bed in our crappy student flat. I'm probably the only 31 year old who dreams of moving back in with her parents.
Yea, those contractions. I'm having a ton of BH now, so my goal is just to get through this weekend then I'll do everything in my power to start labor. I was going to just let things be until my due date since I'm scheduled to work until then, but nah. Once I hit 39 weeks (next week), it's game on.

Ditto
I would LOVE to sleep right now and bank some sleep hours. I'm getting up 3 times a night right now due to my bladder or contractions.
One thing I've heard people say a few times is that, even if you're not getting as much sleep with a newborn, your sleep is of higher quality than it is when you're very pregnant. So at least there's that.
