Weekend randoms

[thoseareradishes]

Well, close enough.

It's been a busy week for us.  E started with her new speech therapist and so far so good.  She's using like 12-13 signs now and picks up new ones pretty quickly.  She also has a few specific grunts that she uses to get her point across.  She's been tested a ton this month and is delayed on expressive speech but above average for receptive speech (for both adjusted and real age, woot!).  

She's been a little picky about fruit lately, so I took her to Aldi and got her raspberries, which she loves.  Girl has expensive taste, eek!

I've been lurking over here for a bit, but I'd like to jump in, if that's ok. We did DE IVF and I got my first beta back today. Still kind of doesn't feel real!

thoseareradishes, I don't know your backstory, but it sounds like your DD is making some good progress, that is good news! My DS loves blueberries and could easily kill a whole pint in one sitting if I would let him. Its funny the random things they pick to like.

Hi pickel!!!
Work is so busy right now and I have to work tomorrow as well. I need SLEEEEEEP. That is all.

Hi theres a ton of stuff I need to do but I'm just sitting here monitoring contractions and willing them to go away. And trying to decide if I want to bug my coworkers and go in to L&D.

My bloomlife monitor says they've been 5-6 min apart for the last 2 hours but I haven't felt all of them. The ones I'm feeling are more like 7-15 min apart.

Sounds like E is making good progress thoseareradishes!
Welcome pickel!
Hopefully your contractions subside pooh8402.

I'm in FL with L right now visiting my sister. We're going to Epcot tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. His stomach bug is finally 100% gone and I am so happy. Poor little guy was miserable for a while.

DH is in Orlando for a work thing, and we'll meet up again at the airport on Sunday to go home. I can't wait to see him again. And I'm looking forward to going home and getting back on our west coast schedule.

I'm a little over 15 weeks now, and I think my nausea has finally gone away. Now I'm just in the in-between until I feel some movement. I have my second tri screening next week.

Yea I'm in L&D. Contractions every 3-4, closed cervix. I'm getting a medication to stop them.

Welcome pickel! My daughter was conceived via DE IVF too. She was born at 24 weeks but is doing fantastic!

Sending good vibes that baby stays put pooh8402.

thoseareradishes - I hope things continue to go well! My kids love raspberries too!
pickel - congrats!
pooh8402- sending "stay put baby" vibes. I had tons of braxton hicks that were way more noticeable with my second than my first, but were never actually painful, so I didn't worry too much. I hope yours settle down.
kellikans - enjoy FL - it's freezing here!

School was cancelled here because it was so cold. We went to the museum here with heated underground parking since the kids were off.

I finally got my reproductive immunology appointment, but they are booking way out until July! It sounds like I may get in early due to cancellations.

I'm feeling a little like "where is the good in the world" tonight. I still feel like I'm grieving my 4th miscarriage and grieving for and supporting my best friend after her husband died suddenly. Then there was a story on the news this AM about someone at the hospital system where I work who was found barely alive, literally frozen to the cement in the parking structure very early this AM with a severe head injury, pinned under a car. She died shortly afterward. I learned later today that she is someone I know from work. Ugh, so awful.

Please tell me the amazing things happening in the world. I need to hear them.

pooh8402 thinking of you and your baby. Stay put lil one

I was given terbutaline, which worked at first then contractions came back. Then vistaril, which has worked so far. I was given the option to go home or stay for overnight observation, and H and I chose to stay. I knew if I went home, neither of us would sleep due to anxiety.

I hope you can get some rest tonight. Sending good wishes
