Josee, I am so sorry about this setback, but that is all it is. Your progesterone is going to resolve itself and you'll be back on your way! You are in my prayers!

April, thanks for thinking of me! I am so happy for you and Mel! This is your time!! Quads would be a blast!

Devan, WOW!! Five more days until you hold your little one. I cannot wait to find out what it is!! So exciting.

Kelly, yay!! I knew your follies were going to shape up! I was at BIVF this morning around 8:15 and I could have swore I saw you. It clearly wasn't since you were there at 6:45! Good luck with the trigger tonight, have a ball with Maisy tomororw, and GOOD LUCK on Saturday!! I can't wait for your report!

Heidi, you and Stella are both so beautiful! I loved the photos you shared. Your cycle sounds like it is going very well too!

Shawna, congrats on the twins. You are proving that dreams can come true. Send me some of your positive vibes!

Amy, I hope you are feeling better. You are so close now!!

Alana, good luck tomorrow! I'm sure Reed is growing just like he is supposed to be! You will be holding him in your arms very soon!

Jen, I'm sorry you are not enjoying your job! I hope it gets better soon for you!

We had an RE appointment this morning and he was just shocked that our cycle didn't work. I asked him to do the recurrent miscarraige panel bloodwork so I did that today and should know in a week. We have 2 little snowbabies and they are probably our last hope (we have no insurance coverage and used a donor so it was quite pricey). I don't want to look back and question if we could have done something differently. My beta today was 2.5 which is good news in that it's not ectopic! reared her ugly head on Sunday and has been kicking my butt. I don't usually have any symptoms and I have had horrible cramps. I feel so badly for those of you who deal with that every month! The RE said we can do our FET as early as September, but I'm trying to decide if I want to do that or wait until 2009. 2008 has been a crap year for us, but we'll see. I'm not very patient!

I know I forgot some of you, so I'm sorry. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Josee - I just can't get you out of my mind tonight. I hope you are drinking some yummy wine and eating some good moldy french cheese

April - Woohoo!!! What great news!! Don't worry about multiples. Just let Mel rest up and incubate over there. Besides, it seems like 75% of the triplet moms around here lately only put back two!

Laurie - Our thoughts are with you too. I understand about the financial strains. It's the same here. Take your time to make a decision.

Devan - Very exciting about the induction!! Maybe they can start late at night so your mom will be there by the morning or just push it off a whole other day.

josee, . i am so so sorry right now. this is just a setback. i will be praying for you that your cycle does not get cancelled. but i know you are so overcome w/ frustration right now at all of the things that are having to change b/c of this. i am just so sorry. like someone else said, you are going to be a tough mommy, because you've overcome it all. we're here for you. we can go cuss on FB if you want.

DEVAN!!!! that must be why you called. dh and i had a dr appt and then i came home and fell asleep for a bit. so sorry i missed you! oh, 5 days! i know it's sudden and you are overwhelmed but you and derrick have everything you need and more to bring a happy, healthy baby into the world. i am so happy for you! i can't wait to know....boy or girl?!

laurie, although i am so sorry about the outcome of your cycle, it is good that your beta is lowering and you don't have to worry about ectopic. i'm glad that your RE is running tests and hopefully you will get some answers. whenever you decide to do the FET, it will be the perfect timing.

april and mel, WOOHOO! you are PUPO! congrats!

Here are the pics from today. I don't know if you'll be able to see but Aiden is holding on tight to his graham crackers in almost every photo. He is also petting the deer in one picture. Awwww. I had to post the last one too. It's a picture of Aiden sleeping on his monitor right under his music bear. I know I'm always telling ya'll about his funny sleep habits!

Devan, thank you so much for calling with the update. I'm so excited and the count down is on here as well. I can't wait to find out if I have a cyber niece or nephew! Enjoy these last five days, it's time to tie up any loose ends you can. Soon enough baby bumble bee will be here and you'll know what the meaning of your life is and more!

Amy, with you being as far along as you are going into the school year how long do you plan on working?

Rach, as always I love the pictures. I wish I could see the one of Aiden sleeping a little better. Honestly I was trying to make out the picture until I read what you posted. Looks like he had fun at the petting zoo.

Oh Josee! ****AKE!!! what crap! I really hope that you fall into that 34% group. And you will get out here soon, regardless. Remember that there is always room at our home. No cancellation policies or anything, and the only cost involved is a bag of Combos


Devan-OMG we are gonna have another niece or nephew very soon! Will your mom get there in time for a 26th birth?

Laurie-I am glad to hear that this is not a ectopic. I am glad to you are getting that work up done. I hope they can figure out what is going on. In the meantime, can you ask about the extra folic acid/baby aspirin therapy?

Kelly-so are you triggering tonight? I bet you get a bunch of follies on ER. It is very funny how precise those measurements were given for your follies. That is very inaccurate. You see how they measure the follies, by making marks on the screen. Oh, and your lining is fantastic!

Heidi-when is your next follie check? You are getting close to ER too, huh?

April (and Mel)-wowwie!!! 4 embies! I am thinking all 4 will attach, and split, so you will be April and Mel + 8! Ha! Just kidding. But I know this is gonna work for you guys!

Marissa-where is your hair picture? No belly pics until we see a hair pic.

Tia-hi hun! Feeling any better yet?

Shawna-way to go taking down a double big mac!

Amy-hope your days are getting shorter.

Rach-I love the pic of Aiden with the deer. I am just so amazed by his hair. It is so awesome

Susan-I read on here somewhere about a girl who woke her baby during the day for feeding, then let her sleep during the night. Said her Dr. said it was fine, will allow the baby to sleep thru the night, and when the baby was hungry when it woke, it would eat what it needed. Can you try something like that?

Shelly-loved the pics of the 2 Dannys in the shower!

Jen E.- if you are going to hang around, you must post Ethan pics.

Brenna and Martie- how bout some new beautiful little girl pics? How are you guys doing? Are Mia and Hannah sleeping through the night yet?

Kris-when do you go back to work? You are in the Sierras, right? Where?

Ronni-I work with 2 people that I worked with at the old place. 1 of them I had lunch with regularly over there. We have lunch maybe once a week now. But sometimes all of us bring lunch and sit outside. it is going to be weird when it snows.

Alana-you suck. But Happy Birthday anyway (in Kiwi time at least). And it could be worse, you could be as old as Susan!

So here is a gross 'Jen' story for you. So the footlong Subway sub I ate yesterday and the cheese fries and large lunch I had today finally caught up to me at work today. Now, i am not one to 'go' at work, but this was one of those times when I was gonna go. Anyway, i go, and of course it is a Code Brown (this is what we call it in our household when I plug up the toilet ). Anyway, I went into the far stall to do my business, and I had forgotten that the toilet there was hard to flush in normal circumstances. So I grab the plunger (a foreign object to me because I always call Dh in a Code Brown situation) and I am not successful. So, no one being around, I quickly go into another stall, flush that one, wash up and bail. What else was I gonna do? I felt bad, but really at that point it was just the paper left that wouldn't go down. Okay, I am sure I am going to hell for this one.

And my brain is so scattered. I actually walked into the mens room at work (never did that before). WTH?

I'm feeling a bit loopy today. I crying over the Olympics - I can't handle it when they brick and then today I nearly bit the hand off my train conductor because for a second day in a row his missed a square on my ticket. The rides are $6.75 each way and I hate it how he doesn't clip them in sequence. Now I'm not going to lose rides, but I have to remind the other train conductors to go back and clip the ones that were missed and it urks me. When he did it again today I gave him a look and he said "what, you don't like it when it's not in order - does it make you nervous" all sarcastic like and I nearly b*tched him out. Usually I'm pretty laid back, but I'm feeling edgy. That's not true, I'm pretty high strung always, but I'm feeling particularly nutty right now. Also, if I may complain a little more, my nose is blocked and stuffy and I think I'm getting sick. Great timing. I think I am run down with worry and lack of sleep from all these early appointments and late nights not being able to sleep.

Rach, the pictures are sweet. Looks like a wild animal couldn't grab that graham cracker out of his grasp.

Josee, you are on my mind tonight. We all want this to work out for you like nothing else.

Jen, I can't believe you did that. Being that I totally have potty humor, you made my night as gross as it was.

Ha Ha! Maybe I should have explained the monitor picture a little more. Aiden is a tummy sleeper. So, that's his butt up in the air, his head is so smushed under the bear and against the bumper that you can't even see it, and his feet are sprawled and his hands tucked under his tummy. What a funny way to sleep.

Alana - I forgot to wish you a wonderful birthday tomorrow!! I'm sure Reed's scan will cheer you up.

Heidi - Drink some extra vitamin C tomorrow. Those early mornings really get to you. Annoying about the train conductor! That would tick me off too!

Jensden - I'm always spying on your March Mommies to check up on everyone too and I love your picks. He looks so mature all the time!

Jen - I think we can all relate to the bathroom moment. At least no one else was in there to turn you in

Off to bed for me. Cooper gets his staples out bright and early tomorrow. At least one of the men in my house is on the mend!

Jen..haha! That's a good one! Does that make you a turd burglar? I'll have to go back to my "pooping at work" definition paper and see what they call what you did.

Heidi..That conductor should watch what he says.

Laurie..so glad you don't have an ectopic..I will be rooting for you when you decide to cycle again!

Devan..Wow! Your little one will be here next week!
Rach..I love those pics of Aiden and the deer! They are so cute.

Thank you so much for all your kind words and good luck wishes! They are working!
