Good luck on your ET, kflynn, and happy thoughts and luck to all the rest who are cycling as well! :) 

I am doing well...I am VERY excited that tomorrow is  Banana Fruit Half-Baked Day! :) We learned a few weeks ago that LO is of the female variety, which is helping in the narrow-down-a-name field, and enables me to pursue my obsession with sewing tiny dresses. (Tiny boy-clothes involve too many snaps and too few ruffles to facilitate a proper obsession.)

I only feel kicks while sleeping right now. So either the girl-baby is a night kicker, or the kicks are as real as those giant spiders that occasionally hang down over my head, then disappear as I scream "Giant Spider!" and shake poor DH awake. I am guessing the latter. Perhaps she will kick more once she becomes banana-shaped.

Again, wishing you all lots of happiness and success...totally rooting for you all, and hope to see a bunch of you over on PAIF soon!

 Hx of IVF with ICSI & AH in Sept, with BFP!

 We are 20 weeks now. Having a little girl. She's complete breech now and it often feels like she's going to kick her way out through my cervix! 

Overall, feeling just super grateful. This pregnancy has brought so many unglamourous pregnancy symptoms, and I just don't even care. I'm just so very grateful at the end of every day. 

I cry at the drop of a hat. 

I tear up even thinking about how grateful I am, and I get sad to think that this pregnancy is already halfway over. 

Many, many, many thoughts and prayers for you guys still making your way through the IF journey.

kflynn - hope you have 8 little rockstars there!  Fx for a great ET for you!

upate: had a follow up u/s to my A/S this week because the tech last week either forgot to didn't get a good image for one of the views with the heart.  Thought I was going to have to wait to hear results, but OB sent them to me already.  Everything checks out A-OK!  We stayed strong (again) for team green!

kflynn - good luck with your ET!!

I will be 32 weeks tomorrow and I'm starting to feel it. I'm so achy all the time, but mostly in the afternoon/evening and it's hard to get relief. Baby boy has also found my ribs and stays camped out in there all the time. I have my next appointment Friday and the 3D u/s Saturday afternoon!

 Good luck to those cycling and with upcoming betas!

kflynn best of luck with your ET, fx for you!!!

I'm 21 weeks now and feeling the babies wiggle around, I can already tell one is squirmier than the other one and am looking forward to see if they have different activity levels outside the womb as well.  We reserved a spot with a newborn photographer yesterday who asked if we had any themes we wanted to incorporate into the photos - DH's ideas included robots, monsters and the Lord of the Rings.  He's definitely letting his playful side out!

Thinking of everyone going through treatment and hoping to see all of you on PAIF very soon.

Hi everyone! I am 5 weeks today and going in next Wednesday for our first u/s. no puking but queasy at time. Lots of bloat and my boobs are huge!  The girls were already 36DD before and I'm going to have to buy a new bra this weeks to contain them.  It's going to be hard to hide the sudden growth up top!

Hi ladies. Constantly lurking and rooting for you all!

As for me im managing my GD with meds and diet and its going ok. I have a few readings that are off but mainly Im falling within range and that makes me very happy. I start weekly NSTs on Monday and will probably have another growth u/s in 2-3 weeks. I am hoping I will be done with work in about 3 more weeks. Today marks exactly two months until my due date. Whoa! My shower is on Saturday and Im really excited for that! Hoping that baby girl is still growing well and all is ok!

Hi Ladies,
I am 9w4d! I was released to my OB this week and had a second ultrasound, it is amazing to see the change in the LO from 6w. There are no words to express what it feels like to see the heart beat.

I feel like the next 7 months are going to fly by and go super slow all at the same time.

I still lurk quite a bit and send good vibes and pray for all of you to get your take home babies. xoxo
