Glad it mellowed out so you could sleep callmehales! I was always sick in the evening/at night and sometimes middle of the night pee breaks so I started keeping a little basket in the bathroom with a pillow and blanket.
I felt my first outside kicks (or punches) on Sunday! Usually when baby is active, I'll grab DH's hand so he can feel so I've never attempted myself but we were watching football and I had my hand resting on my belly and got a couple thumps and then started crying lol. Baby continued going crazy for the next 30sih minutes and we even got to see a bit of the movement. Our crib and dresser should be here this week which means I really need to start settling on a paint color. Today and tomorrow I'm trying to find packs of neutral thank you notes for our showers and decide on hostess gifts. I can't believe our first shower is in 2 and a half weeks.

I'm hanging out at the lab; less than 10 minutes until the second draw, and then only two to go! Ugh...I just want to eat! This is torture for a pregnant lady (and one of the employees just walked through the waiting room with food -- not cool!).
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

Fetal echo and growth ultrasound both went well today. The heart looks good and baby is measuring one day ahead and weighs 1lb 6oz. She would not stop moving during the scan and was really giving the tech a run for her money. I had to laugh since she has done this at every scan. I don't have to come back for another four weeks which is the longest I've gone so far. I was really annoyed at the MFM practice though. They only have the cardiologist there one day a month doing the fetal echos (she comes down from Childrens) so they scheduled both scans back to back in order to get both in the right time frame. They were an hour behind for my appointment. Once the tech got everything she needed the cardiologist came in to look/chat with me. After the growth part of the scan the tech had to send everything to the MFM at another office since there wasn't a MFM there. This is the second time this has happened. I haven't seen or spoken to the actual MFM since 16 weeks. My anatomy scan was done the same way. I know this practice has had some physician turnover recently, but c'mon. Am I being unreasonable to expect to see the MFM at each appointment?

I would be pissed about that. A tech does the scan and then the mfm comes in scans again and meets with us. I would like to see the dr so could have questions answered.
For those who haven't seen my instagram, it's my transferversary! One year ago today, I had one perfect blast transferred, and now he's sleeping in my arms.

I just got my Panorama test results back... good news is everything looks perfect! And we're having another boy. Oh well, brothers will be adorable, right?!

We got the results back from the first tri screening. Started out low risk because it's based on the age of the egg but after the scan and bloodwork, the risk of Down Syndrome and Trisomies 13 and 18 came back at 1 in >10,000. That's the lowest possible results they even give. Eeek. I think I'm really having a baby.

Congrats!!! My two nephews are about the same age gap as your boys will be. No one can make baby bro laugh and squeal like his big brother can! It's the sweetest. I think you'll love it
In 3 weeks I'm going to have my first scan by someone who isn't a doctor. I find the whole u/s tech thing here weird, especially if you are high risk. But maybe I'm paranoid because even with 3 doctors (one of whom was a fetal diagnostic specialist) they barely caught V's double aortic arch that led to all the genetic testing.
I'm 1cm dilated and baby is over 8lbs. Operation "try to kick start labor" has a officially begun!
I hope you have more luck than I did!
KB, you should be able to see the doctor at every appt.
I'm not holding my breathe and I realize 1cm means pretty much nothing. But I so don't want him to get too big if he stays in another 2 weeks. If I haven't gone into labor by Tuesday on my own, my OB will sweep my membranes to try and get things moving too.

I had that done. Twice. Or was it three times?
You are bursting my bubble here. lol
For real though, I'm just happy to be this close to the end. And hoping it happens sooner rather than later due to his size already. Thinking about him possibly being over 9 lbs is making me cringe for my poor vagina. As much as I don't want to be induced, I also know that with GD I don't want him too big. So if I have to be induced because the membrane stripping doesn't work, so be it.

I had another ultrasound last night. I got my first abdominal ultrasound. No more dildo cam! These little milestones really are exciting.
The baby was wild in there. Flailing his arms and legs around the whole time. If its any indication of what he will be like out in the real world, I'm in trouble. His heart rate was 189.
The SCH is still there but still so tiny. I haven't had any bleeding since that one day around 5 or 6 weeks when this all started. They are letting me return to work on Monday. I'm excited to get back into the office for some human interaction during the day. My energy levels are in the toilet and I'm not sure if its from being on bedrest so long or if its just regular pregnancy fatigue. I'm sure it's going to be tough to get through those first few days.
I don't have another appointment for 3 more weeks. I hate the wait in between.
loira the doctor will review real time right? After my anatomy the MFM came in and did a few extra images and I honestly think the techs photos were clearer. All day every day and all.
Yes, I'm pretty sure some doctor will review. I've had all the 'big' stuff done at my hospital in London, in any case, so it's less of a worry now.
Got my first beta results back...145! Guess that means I'm really pregnant . Looking forward to seeing those numbers go up every other day for the next month (yes, I'm still whining about that. lol.)

Do you know your estimated due date? I have a post-it going of grads who post on this board and want to add you.

I could guesstimate, but I don't have an official appointment with my RE until next week (I'm still SUPER early). I'll give you an update as soon as I get one
cactuscookie Would you post the google doc in the sticky post? I am constantly going back into your old posts to find it to try to remember where everyone is at. (Not that I don't thoroughly enjoy stalking you )

Good idea! Although I'm bummed that you won't be stalking me anymore.

I know. I'm sorry.
I really do hope it works for you. That being said, induction is not all bad. No wondering what time you should get to the hospital. No worries about traffic. No ruining your mattress by breaking your water in bed.
