Also, I wish we were closer too cause I know you'd shop til you dropped with me!
Jen- Too funny- I am sitting here doing nipple stimulation as I type. I was just reading the proper way to do it and then saw your post.
As for sex, DH and I tried last week and it had been so long that we did not even make it to the actually act itself before DH had finished!
I am too fat and ugly for that anyway right now.
I had to have him shave my legs this morning and I felt self conscious about that

Okay, you can't be that fat and ugly if that's how it went down.

Shawna, I like Lola. We toyed with the name but decided against it. I like a lot of names that end with an a. Ava, Eva, Lola, Lula, Luna. I always thought the name Scarlett was kind of cool. My BIL/SIL liked it at one time. Ruby was my initial choice, but one of DH's cousins named her baby that.

Grits, love love the closeups.

Jen, sorry, I failed the quiz.

Brenna - Mia is so adorable - I had to show my DH how cute she is!! Your whole family is stunning!

Heida - Stella is gorgeous and her name just fits her so well. I like girl names that end is "a" as well.

Jen - we need some more photos of you!!

Kelly - how are you feeling? Are you reducing your prednisone again tomorrow? How was the cape?

Devan - those feet look like they hurt. I hope you can stop work soon so you don't have to be on them!

April - that is awesome that Mel starts her stims! When do they anticipate the ER to be?

Amy & Josee - enjoy the vacations!!

We transfered two perfect blasts this morning and the RE said the whole cycle was perfect and fully expects good results for us. The beta is scheduled for 8/12 but I'm sure I'll start POASing next weekend! We have 6 more that are still looking great and will hopefully make it to freeze tomorrow. I want to have them as back ups if I need them (or maybe even siblings in a couple of years).

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Laurie- That is awesome! Congrats
Do you go to Boston IVF? Who is your RE there? I went there for a year. Did you have a recovery or pre-op nurse named Kris? She is a good friend of mine!
I wish you the best of luck!

Where did everyone go?
I left for five minutes to get a biscotti and everyone is gone!!
Would it be bad if I asked DH to get me a Cowboy cookie on his way home? I won't tell him I just ate a chocolate hazelenut biscotti

Tonight I am cooking boneless, skinless chic breast, butterflied and stuffed with prosciutto and boursin cheese and wilted baby spinanch. I am trying to eat different things than I have been hoping the change will induce labor.
Oh and baby red potatoes with olive oil and herbs, roasted and a big salad. Maybe I should hold off on the cookie. DH also has fresh littlenecks from my dad's friend that goes out daily for them.

I am off to read my breastfeeding book now.

Susan - I think you can eat whatever you want at this point! If anyone deserves it, it is you! I do go to BIVF and Dr. Penzias is my RE. I have had Kris and she is wonderful!! She was not there today and I have to say I was disappointed. They are so lucky to have her!

Dr. Penzias is funny- he did one of my ET and he was chewing gum the whole time and I could not get past that. I thought it was slightly annoying but still very funny. I laughed a lot during the ET and no one could figure out why. I think I was delerious. Then he and Kris told me I was one of the most anxious patients and that they should have poured me a margarita before the transfer.

If you ever go back and see Kris tell her hello. I will send her a birth annoucment. We have seemed to have lost touch since the first few months of my preg since I went somewhere else for my last cycle!

That is funny! We had Dr. Berger do our ET today (the younger one) and he was having a hard time seeng the screen and the nurse was trying to make sure could see it so I finally said I thought it was more important that he see it and then everyone cracked up. I will definitely tell Kris you said hello if I see her again! Where do you go now? I know you are in Providence.

I'll leave my ideas of what I think the name Lola means to me....stripper...or hooker...oh wait...I didn't stop. Sorry ladies! lol

Brenna- Mia is so beautiful!! Just like your other two!

Heidi- Did I tell you how beautiufl you and Stella are?! You really are two very ebautiful ladies!

Jen- More pics please! But not of what is discussed on FB. lol.

Laurie- Congratulations on the perfect transfer!

I have been feeling crampy all day...I'm freaking myself out of course, I jsut can't help it. Ya know in two months I can say oh yeah nothing to worry about, but all I know is loss....and all I know is a pregnancy that goes south...so I don't know WTF is normal anymore. My ILs were suppsoed to come over to our house today, instead they wentot the local fair and didn't even bother to call. Where is the courtesy these days?!?!?!!?

Laurie - congratz! you are officially PUPO! i am glad everything went well and I will keep my fingers crossed you have some to freeze.

Brenna - gorgeous pictures! sounds like you have had been so busy. i am glad you now have some downtime w/ out family.

kris - i am sooo shocked they didn't vote out the young kid the other night on BB. Angie was so not a threat.

Rach - can't wait to hear about your trip.

Josee & Amy - happy vacationing!

Heidi - i can't get over how BEAUTIFUL Stella is. You both look so much alike.

April - wish Mel the best w/ her stims!!! how many cycles has Mel done?

Alana - how ya doing hun? glad to hear DH is back!!

Shawna - Keep positive!!! I know I know....but I am trying too. Its hard. Just keep envisioning your baby.

Jen - hope you are feeling well and had a nice weekend. I had sent you a text to check on Susan...

SUSAN - I am thinkin of you!!!! You are doing all the right things...I can't wait for you!!! Let Shelly get you that cream cheese!

Devan -I am worried. When does Derrick get home? You should really call your Dr. I think you need to be home resting and off your feet.

Ronni - Hey Girl!!! Thinking of you laying by your pool!

Marissa - Still no ! I took another test and no double line. I think the prednisone is messing w/ my cycle. My lower back is killing me though...

So DH and I had a nice time at the Cape. Friday night our dinner was sooo yummy. Right on the ocean...great food and atmosphere. I had an amazing sea bass entree. I went to the beach with my MIL saturday and then DH picked me up and we went around shopping. That night we did some canoe fishing and then watched the Sox. We actually left the cape rather early today. It was cloudy and rain was expected. I also wanted to get home to food shop. DH is grilling steak tips and portabellos and asparagus! YUM!!!

Wierdest thing...today on the way back from the cape we heard the song "Lola" and I asked Mike what he thought of that name!

Jen - interesting movie..."Run Lola Run" - took place in Germany, right?
