liza, you'll be amazed at what you see then. they will totally be little babies floating around in there. too cool for words. i miss having u/s!

[MamaSoon]

liza, september third is coming right up. i hope you have an u/s pic to share.

amy, lily is sooo adorable in your avatar, i can hardly believe it. so cute!

[Angelwithhope]

Hey girly girls!!

Liza- Are you finding out the sexes? Hoping for one of each or two of one? I love having same sex twins, it is so much fun to dress them alike! BUt I bet having boy/girl twins is amazing too because you get the best of both worlds!!!

Amy- sounds like a blast!! HAve fun!

Josee- How are you doing Hun?

We are all doing well here. DH got an amazing job offer, he starts school this fall and goes for a year and a half then starts working out at our international airport! No more police work for him. I think we just decided it wasn't for us now that we have kids and all. He'll still be working shift work but we're going to be just fine. We live in a very nice town now and we couldn't be happier. We are even talking about number three already. Maybe when the boys are one/one and a half?! I dont' know. I may eat my words when it comes time for me to look after them FULL FULL time on my own. I have been doing it monday to friday on my own with the occasional help from DH here adn there between him studying.

[Ladybuglee]

hi josee! how was your weekend of visiting?? i will definitely share u/s pics. i'm always thinking of you. xoxo

shawna, we're definitely finding out the sexes. hoping for one of each but whatever we get is good of course! if it's 2 girls, the teen years should be a whole lotta fun! and we need a bigger house. so what is your dh doing? sounds like something my dh would like, so i need more info. is it a customs type thing? you sound so happy.

i hope more of us come back!!

oh shawna, did you use a doppler with the twins? how did it work??

[Angelwithhope]

Liza- It's ATC. (Air traffic control) Hee hee. I did use a doppler. What I did was paid very close attention to where they wanded me during my ultra sounds. Jesse never moved from transverse position my entire pregnancy so it was easy to know that he was down lower and that Lay was somewhere on the right towards th emiddle and later up in my ribs!! lol. Oh the fun you are going to have! Hee hee. There were a few times where it was tense tryign to find a HB but I never tried to find them without DH being there incase I couldn't find him and needed the reassurance of him finding them for me!

And yes, we are so super happy besides a few issues still going on with my ILs. They're not causing problems with us or anything but they're having problems and it is making us incrediably sad that they are so unhappy!! It makes us want to drive there in the middle of the night and kidnap them and bring them home. My MIL's dog was run over and died. She is so heartbroken. She says he was the only thing that really made her happy where she is. We are trying to convince them to buy a nice holiday type home here and live between the two provinces! lol

[Ladybuglee]

cool, atc! that's a very important job! sorry to hear your in-laws are having problems (but glad you're getting along with them!). that'd be cool if they could go back and forth. well, i'm kinda scared i won't find the hb's on a doppler so i dunno. my sil is sending me one from the doctor's office where she works and shelly is letting my borrow hers, so between the two, hopefully we'll get something! i'll wait a few more weeks though.

[Angelwithhope]

Liza- The doctors office one should be really good for picking up the heart beats. In the earlier weeks I just made sure I had a full bladder to find their heart beats. I never really had too much of a problem. I think there was once or twice. I always used the doppler right before ultra sounds to make sure they were still there and alive. Sad but true, I wanted to prepare myself just incase though I never needed to be prepared for anything!

[HRMS MOM]

hey ladies getting ready for my appt today, so nervous my stomach hurts. Why does this have to be so hard.

Liza 10 weeks I cannot believe it!! I cannot wait to see great pics of your little ones. Can they tell you with the NT what they are? Or do you have to wait til the 20 week ultrasound?

[HRMS MOM]

back from my appt. so glad to have it over, I always work things up so much in my mind. I was totally stressed out and started to shake in the parking lot of the dr office. I am such a complete freak I swear. Yet again my BP was high, which only happens at this dr office. I have normal BP everywhere else. Anyway for those of you who do not know:

looks like we will be cycling in Oct. since my Sept AF will not show til the end. I am trying to leave this all in gods hands as to how things play out (well you know as much as I can). Anyway the dr wants my A1C to be in the 6's and he is hoping they are I asked him what if they are not and he said we would talk about that when we get there, so I have to do a blood test for that. I asked about my FSH number and he will do that test too since we want more children than just one more and I want to make sure that will be possible. He said my number 2 years ago was 5.4. What is a high number? Anyway I have to do a mock transfer with my next AF since having Hannah may have made my uterus different in some way.

thanks for all your support

[Angelwithhope]

Wishing you tons of success MArtie!! Tons!!

[Koshveily]

Egats! I didn't even think to LOOK for a part deux!!! Silly me...

Aww, I've missed you girls!

Liza, how are you feeling over there? The twins showing yet???

Martie and Amy, my cycle sistahs... you both are doing FETs, right? Earlier in the thread, Amy, you mentioned not wanting to put two back... I guess I could always keep sifting through the last 11 pages to see what you decided to do... or you could tell me... I also have two snowbabies but my RE wants to do a fresh cycle this time.

Jen, any further discussions with DH about Waltifer #2? I know you had mentioned Father's Day discussions at the beginning of this thread (okay, so sue me, I only got to page 7 and I couldn't take it anymore, I missed ya'll so much. )

All of my other chicas, I suddenly feel like a great big warm blanket just wrapped around me... *sigh* I missed you! Hugs, love, and wonderfulness...

[HRMS MOM]

Yeah Shelly found us, I asked yesterday if the two threads could be merged as we were told they could once the "heat" died down. I have no answer yet so I guess we will see.

BTW we are putting back all 3 of our snowbabies as that is what we did with Hannah and well it worked so well why not do it again.

[parker john]

how exciting Martie! glad your apt went well

liza ... holy crud ... 10 weeks already ... awesome

shelly ... happy you found us!

shawna ... love the new pics of the boy

parker had his 6 month wellness appointment this morning .... he's 18 lbs 9 oz! and is 26 inches tall ... he did so well with his shots!

[ara79]

[Koshveily]

Martie, that sounds like a good plan, to put back the three snowbabies... the IVF nurse asked us today how many embryos we would be transferring and we went with two. Last time we went with two and got one so I feel confident in saying that two works for us. Then next time we can consider a FET (if we have any left over to freeze.).

I wish I could know how much it costs to cryopreserve embryos for one more year... we have two right now but our term runs out in October. We have to decide if we want to continue to store them or use them or something else... thoughts?
