I got a picture, but it was one of the worst yet. It was frontal face, and all that you really see is the head, which we all know still looks alien-like... the rest of the body is a blur in the background...
Joy- CONGRATS on the girls! Just think that they can all have triple the wardrobes from sharing w/ their sisters! And I want to see the bedding you chose- can you post a link? I hope you enjoy your shower! Peachy, I want to see the bedding you chose as well! Post a link!

Hi there!
Hope everyone had a great weekend  So I had my last appointment with my RE, my mom accompanied us this time. I can’t believe how big the baby looks! My mom was pretty emotional and quite amazed, she is more excited now than ever! She also told us that she and my step dad will be buying the nursery furniture..yeah! Cat – I know what you mean about the stores- I can’t believe they already have fall stuff! It seems to get earlier every year!  I’m with you on the water. I almost get a gagging reflex when I drink it. I too have been drinking very watered down juice or I squeeze lemon or limes in the water. I hope the spotting stops once and for all! Peachy- Good luck with the final selection- at least you are making progress with the furniture! Your poor doggie  Havana- I need to clean out my closet as well- I’m just dreading it! I *love* that dresser system! That is so sweet what your mom did! That will be so special to your baby Maggie01- thanks for the book review  I will definitely get that book (its on my list!)Kris- 3 girls!! Wow!! How cute is that going to be!!! I can’t wait to see them!! Robin- sounds like you put in a lot of work this weekend! I hope you get a quick sale! The belly cast is interesting…where would one display that?

Joy - congratulations on the 3 girls!!! That is SO exciting!! And I'm happy to hear that your cervix is holding up....get as much rest as you can!!
Robin - you must be exhausted after cleaning all weekend!! I can't wait to see the bedding that everyone has picked out. My DH is more openly excited now (thanks for that link, Cat) but he still wants to hold off on picking anything out and shopping around until we know the gender. How will I restrain myself from shopping when he's on vacation in Ireland in a couple of weeks? hahaha

Joy-You need to change your ticker to PINK! Congratulations on the 3 girls! WOW! Like Cat says, at least they can all wear each others clothes. That's really great that you are having the going away shower. Take it! It will be so much fun, and you will need all the help you can get!! I'm glad your cervix is holding up. Get as much rest as you can,a nd try not to do too much packing, ok??
MM-I PM'd you my email address for the list. Oh, and I was telling Peach, I LOVE the couture bedding, but I dont want to pay $1000+ for it. Is there any online places to seach? I really liked the Nava brand I saw in the store, but you cant see the patterns on line very well. Magie01-Thanks for the tip on the book. I'm sure DH will LOVE that! MaybeBaby-THanks for the updated chart. I still dont know some of the people on there. Has anyone heard from any of them? LizandTed, Amzippity and one other.. I hope they are ok!! Robin-Yuck! Cleaning! Be careful in those fumes!! MM-What time is your appointment for the amnio?

I'd like my DH to get a little involved with picking out the things we register for (though based on how much he disliked registering for our wedding, that may be a long shot)....so that still leaves me waiting until we know the baby's gender b/c he doesn't want to shop for anything until then. *sigh* I did see some cute unisex layette stuff at Janie and Jack that I think I'm going to sneak out and buy this weekend while I'm out with my mom. hehehe

I think we're friendly! But I am sure it's hard to keep up with all of us since we've all been together since the IVF thread...that can be overwhelming to a new person trying to join the group, I think.
