TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
Hi everyone! Things are hectic around these parts. Dh is home after 8 long months of being away for work and we went on a short family vacation last week to lake geneva. Now hes leaving again for another week and half but that's the nature of job! Ds was baptized on mother's day and then we had a nice brunch afterwards.
Right now Ds is really sick with cough and cold and I think Dd is getting it. We just have to ride it out with some otc meds. Life is carrying on as always though, lots of activities, errand and chores!
Well I wasn't going to post today, but we got our newborn pics back. So obviously I have to show off my handsome man! DS is 5 weeks now, but these are from when he was 11 days old.
PDQ *poof* *poof* *poof*
*poof* *poof*
And we returned to the spot where we were married, four years later almost to the exact day. So here is the wedding photo, and then our updated photo with our new addition!
Sup peeps. 37 weeks here, week 7 of bed rest, I may or may not be going a little stir crazy.
We will be meeting our bean no later than two weeks from today. At my appointment last week I was 80% effaced and 1cm dilated, slowly losing my plug. I've had contractions on and off since Friday so we shall see if I make it to 39 weeks. Here is a bump pic from this weekend. Feeling large & in charge!!!!

@led I am super excited for you. I hope you have a smooth Labor and Delivery jags8 Those are some really great pictures! I love them.
Hi everyone! I'm sitting at 16 +1. I had 2 appointments last week. One with the midwife and one at an U/S boutique for an early gender determination. We got lucky because we got some money back from our security deposit and it was enough to cover the elective U/S package. PDQ the picture, I'll most likely delete later. We're team...
PINK!!!
DD2 is going to have H's grandma's name for her middle name. We recorded our reveal and telling her the name on video and she was breathless. She is so excited to be having a "namesake" as she put it.
I am 8 weeks today. Symptoms aren't too bad, just major carb cravings. If everything goes well at my ultrasound this week I get to graduate from the RE!

Bump picture! Plugging away at 23 weeks! Baby girl is kicking more forcefully now and doesn't like being squished. My H did get to see an outside kick last week which was exciting.
Nursery is now empty (it was the guest bedroom) so we need to schedule the new carpet (hello sleeping on subfloor and an air mattress for two days :/) and get started on furniture.
Here's a bump pic! My exam room mirror is shitty but you get the idea.
@led, thinking of you and wishing you the best of luck tonight and tomorrow! Awesome updates, littlelion and peaseblossom55!! jags8, those pictures are stunning. LOVE. penguin129, congratulations on Team Pink!!
On the edge of my seat waiting for updates from @led. Good luck girl!
icequeen, your little ones look so much like you! They're adorable!
AGM, I'm 22w4d. Finally started registering for stuff, and it's all starting to seem real. Little girl has her own personality already, kicking when my pants are too tight or I eat too much and crowd her space.
I'm 13+5 today and just felt my first little pop of movement this morning (well, the first one that I'm sure wasn't just gas)!
We had our NT scan last Thursday and everything looked amazing. Baby was wiggling all over the place and had a HB of 159. And they moved up my due date again based on baby's measurements! U/S pic in spoiler!
Hi GKU! DS is 11 days old. I took him on my first solo outing and realize I now need 2456246 hands. We have good nights and bad nights. Sometimes I feel like I'm screwing up this whole mom thing... like when he wails for no apparent reason...
Tomorrow we have a weight check. FX he is back to birth weight (OR more). We had newborn photos done yesterday and he did not cooperate but we got some shots!

Much love and best wishes to you all!
This may or may not have provoked some serious tears of joy for you

Ellie turned six months old yesterday. She loves to give big, tight hugs right now. I'm going to Boston for work for three days, leaving tomorrow, and I'm super sad to miss her.
I'm 20w 5d today. Time seems to be flying! H and I are just about finished clearing out the nursery so hopefully we can get some painting done this weekend. I'm like really ridiculously stupid excited about the mermaid theme I picked out for N's room. This etsy print just came in the other day and I may or may not just walk into the room and stare at it occasionally.
Not really much else to report so I'll bid you adieu with a bump pic! Wishing you all the best as always.
Hello all!! I have an outside baby! Ow.en Eug.ene arrived 4-21-16 and we are so blessed and in love.
Unfortunately, my birth experience was pretty traumatic, and I'm still trying to come to terms with it. Long story (somewhat) short: I had to be induced at 39 weeks because my blood pressure spiked. I labored for 20 hours and towards the end I was throwing up and I even passed out. I pushed for 3 hours, and they tried forceps but could not get him out, so I had an emergency c section. Because I had pushed so long and he had gotten down so far, they almost couldn't get him out - the doctor was on top of the table yanking on him for what seemed like forever. They had to do a "hand up" maneuver, which is exactly what it sounds like - they stuck a hand up my hoo-ha and pushed him back up the birth canal while someone pulled from the other end. When he did come out, it was complete silence, and I thought for sure he was either dead or horribly injured from how hard they pulled on him. He wasn't breathing or moving and his first apgar was a 2. But luckily he was just a bit shocked from the birth and he quickly recovered and started crying. I was so exhausted and high on morphine that I could barely even hold him when they wheeled me out of surgery. My memories from the birth and afterwards when we tried skin to skin are very murky. The next few days in the hospital werent much better, as he developed jaundice and was under triple photo therapy where we could only take him every three hours for 20 minutes to feed him. I hate that any time I think about his birth it makes me sad and scared, but I feel so fortunate that everything turned out OK and we have a healthy baby boy in our arms.
Enough of the sad and scary parts, here's the cute squishy baby pictures!!
