So yeah, after 2.5 years and 2 IVF cycles I finally get to post in this thread! I started testing on Saturday and got a faint positive which made me think it was still my trigger, but a retest yesterday proved that to be a lie. Not a whole lot of excitement going on over here as I'm just 4 weeks tomorrow.
Ovia tells me that baby is the size of a speck of sawdust to which my husband replied "baby been making dem gains!", thanks H...thanks.
Anyway, thanks for having me! Betas on Friday and I called and got approval from Tricare to cover the 7 week u/s from my RE, so that's good.

OMG @led that is terrifying! I'm so glad R is ok. I was nearly in tears during my cpr training recently, I don't know how I would stay composed if I had to give it to DD! Great job staying cool under pressure. ((Hugs))
powerofbacon I'm so happy to see the update on V!! It makes my heart so happy!! Little peanut is adorable

Thanks for the tag!
I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and am finally, finally feeling better. I have energy and motivation again! I'm also eating normal amounts and gaining weight instead of losing it. Baby is active and all over the place; feeling him/her move is so amazing and I can't wait until H can feel it outside my belly. We just scheduled our anatomy scan for Monday the 3rd and we will be finding out the sex if kiddo cooperates. I'm nervous and excited all in one.
*loss mentioned*
This next week or two is also rough for me emotionally. When I was 18 weeks pregnant with DS my midwife suddenly passed away from a stroke. I had been calling and calling her all day because I stopped feeling any baby movement for two days, and I was getting pretty upset that she wasn't answering. I got a call late that night that she had died and it shook me so much. Baby started moving again and everything was fine there... but losing my mw really affected me. Now I'm almost 18 weeks with this little one and am thinking about my old midwife a lot.

Holy crap, @led, that's so scary. I'm glad everyone is okay, I hope you manage to get some sleep soon.
starbuck27, another anecdote. I had an irritable uterus with my first as well and was hitting the 5-1-1 mark on a nearly daily basis from about 33 weeks on. I delivered at 40w1d. The contractions were exhausting and I hated them, but they weren't actual labor.

@led that is terrifying! LadyNymeria he is perfect! powerofbacon I guess Vivi is matching all the babies since Finn is in the flower one today
The girls turned 3 months last week. They love to smile and play with their hands and feet.
Finn's new favorite thing is to turn her body so she rolls off my chest while I'm laying on the couch and laughs as I catch her. The first time it happened it was a total shock for her but now as soon as I lay her on me, belly to belly, she intentionally rolls and just laughs.
Evie is my laid back baby, she is content to sit and watch people. But it makes her smiles so much sweeter when she is always just chilling.
My sister got married Saturday and I of course wrapped the girls. But when someone needed to hold my 2 week old nephew who wasn't in the bridal party pics I just put my ring sling over my current wrap job and they all were asleep. I told everyone to just go home and I'd have triplets now. Obviously I wouldn't recommend this carry for long, but it was a quick fix for pictures.

congrats on the BFP icedtea! and OMG, congrats Cythe! so happy to see you here! best of luck tomorrow jwinct - will be thinking of you. fx that it all goes smoothly and that your baby can come right to you after delivery. I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a scare @led! glad R is doing OK now and hopefully it was just a one-time thing. congrats LadyNymeria! hope all goes well at the growth scan, britta! sorry for the labor scare starbuck27! good to know they are good sizes in case anything happens. fx that they hang in there for at least another month! housecarder omg at three babies in that wrap. you're amazing.
26+2 here and nothing much to report. after last week's bleeding scare I am on pelvic rest and on strict orders to chill on the couch a lot when I come home from work, so that's what I'm doing. it's hard to force myself to do less, especially when I want to clean and organize everything in the house, but I'm learning to slow it all down a little.
congrats on all the recent BFPs! I can't believe how big everyone's babies are now!

Hi all! I'm 34 weeks along and have 34 days left until my RCS. I had an u/s 1 1/2 weeks ago to check on my amniotic fluid and just got the results in MyChart yesterday. It said now I just have "mild" Polyhydraminos (sp? which is excessive amniotic fluid). I'm not sure if they are going to continue doing u/s's to monitor my levels or not. The paperwork also showed DD2 is in the 83rd percentile and about 4 lbs 13 oz. The best guess for the EDD based on the u/s was 10/23 when they originally had my due date as 10/31 so who knows if DD will stay put until 10/24 or not. I had a baby shower at DD's mommy and me class last week and was very grateful for everything I was given. I got the car seat installation inspected today and everything is good on that end. I am even going to be in our town's local paper because of my timing. I have an appointment with my midwife Friday and then think I'll be on weekly appointments starting the first week in October.

Hi GKU! I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow. I can't believe how fast September is going. Having an early November EDD makes it feel like we only have a month left! *cue panic*
Everything is going well with baby boy. He is very active and woke me up 30 minutes before my alarm this morning. The other day I told H to feel the side of my belly and he felt the baby kick back. His reaction was hilarious. AFM, I'm doing well overall. I've been dealing with intense RLP that I was shocked to hear was just RLP. It seems to have calmed down though. Saturday is my baby shower so I'm excited to see everyone and celebrate this baby!
And here's the bump! I'm using the same picture from my shower dress poll on my BMB. This seems to be the winner so far.

I may or may not be crying with sheer happiness over here! So much *squee!* ❤️
R.yan J.oseph was born last Tuesday, Sept 13 and I can't believe he's already a week old!! I am so in love and it's such an incredible feeling to be holding my rainbow baby in my arms.
He was 7lb 14.4oz and 20 1/2 inches long at birth and we have a follow-up peds appt this afternoon so hopefully he's doing a good job working back up to his birth weight.
danib my son is convinced he's having a sister as well. Has been since day 1. I'm starting to worry how he'll react if he's actually having a brother! 😳
