yesterday was actually our 1st u/s since we were released from the RE... it was a belly one too, that's a change... hehe... it went great, we could see him/her move around and trying to put his fist in his mouth... oh, and i think he has LONG legs... we got several pictures, but i don't have a scanner

Oooh Robin! I got it yesterday! I was so excited I ran and opened the front door and there it was in its big box! I ripped it open like I was 5 years old on Christmas! So excited!! Its pretty big, but we have a king size bed (a queen would be fine too) I went straight to the bed and got "in it". OMG, I almost fell asleep in 5 minutes in the middle of the day!
Its amazing. I did put my regular pillow under my head so I could sleep a little better. I like a soft pillow..

The ONLY draw-back is, I'm now getting up abou twice in the night to pee so i had to "climb" out of it and then climb back in. It is heavenly and well worth it. My DH is a little jealous because he cant reach me. You're literally in like a cocoon of pillows.

I found it cheaper than amazon, and this is the same company that shipped it anyway. Here's the link and a picture if it works:

Leachco Body Pillow | Leachco Pregnancy Pillows | Back N Belly


Next on the list is the $115 fetal heart monitor. I haven't ordered i yet, but Im really itching to. I also got some books in the mail. Belly Laughs, Girlfriends Guide, Mayo Clinic Pregnancy resource book and I got a daddy book for DH-The Expectant Father(has a man's striped shirt on the front)-the reviews looked like it was the best-

Happy Shopping!!

The reviews of that body pillow on Amazon sound so wonderful! I'm so tempted to order it but, I think it will definitely take up too much room in my queen size bed. *sigh* I guess I'll have to settle for ordering a one-sided pillow.

Hi Ladies,
So I just called 2 OB's to ask some questions to see who I wanted to go with. They both deliver at the hospial DH and I want to go to. Both of them said they dont do regular ultrsounds, only about 1 or 2. GEEZ! I also asked if the dooctors delivered their own patient's babies and both said "no" its who ever is on-call that day. It was also funny because the lady on the phone said, "when was your last menstral cycle"? I was ummm, I have no idea, I had IVF.

Im gonna keep looking into the doctors. Sounds like they're all the same. Peach-one of them was yours. I do remember that you said she delivers her own, but that's not what they said on the phone. Maybe she was a dummy.

Ladies, Peachy comes back from her ultrasound in a bit. Her appointment is for 1:30 EST. This is her first since she found out she lost the twin. Lots of prayers to you Peachy!!! Im sure you will be back with lots of good news about that little one!!

i think that's pretty much the standard now... you have no idea who is going to be delivering your baby, just cross your fingers that it's a well experienced Dr...
only 1 or 2 u/s? i though they will be more frequent closer to the delivery date, i guess i should ask...
Girls, we should open our own u/s clinic... hehe...

I know! I feel the same way. We have a firm-wide meeting from 2:45 - 4 this afternoon and I'm praying I can keep my eyes open...especially since they'll be announcing my promotion. hahaha It won't look very good if I'm asleep when that happens!!
