haha Rach-I just wanted you to see my registry. We scanned 2 items. We have been avoiding BRU because we are so confused!!!
Okay, I am really thinking about going with the B.O.B. for a stroller, Any thoughts? Talk me in to it? Out of it? I took a few photos this AM cause I thought I was looking cute (and Dh left for work already). I couldn't make the flash go away. But here they are

First I have some sad news to report
Kelly sent me a text this morning and her grandma just passed away. She is headed down to Florida to be with her dad. Kelly we are all thinking of you So sorry for all the sadness you have had to face this year. Please let us know if we can help at all right now. We will miss you.Jen - LOVE the belly shots!! I'm so glad you shared with us. You look wonderful and glowing as always. I'll meander over to bru this afternoon so your registry has a visitor! My SIL has the BOB and has been happy with it. This is after she bought a bugaboo and rarely used it. Have you looked at the Phil & Ted? I looks really similar to the BOB but you can also use it as a double stroller which might be handy with #2 since pregnancy is so becoming on you Liza - Nothing too fun planned today! I have a work meeting so Aiden is headed to the gym daycare. He hasn't been there in two weeks now with all the sickness so hopefully he'll be happy to see all his favorite ladies. I guess we do a lot of activities together b/c to me it seems easier than sitting at home and trying to figure out how to entertain a little one for 5 hours straight. Baby einstein in the car works wonders too! Tia - I think my mutsy took about a while to come in so drag everyone to the store soon. I used the glass evenflo bottles and was really happy with them and they are much cheaper than the Dr. Browns. I would say just buy a few to begin with since some peoples babies are picky about bottles and nipples. We never had any issues though. For an infant car seat, I say buy something cheap b/c they outgrow it so fast. We did the Graco Snugride. I'll be honest. Aiden wasn't thrilled with it but I'm not sure he would have been any happier with the peg. He just got so friggin hot in the thing with all the padding in there. Susan - I agree that McCain looks like sh*t these days. The long hours are definitely getting to him! Off to pack up Aiden for daycare. I've got mega grocery shopping to do before heading to my office for our meeting. Tomorrow is Yom Kippur which is a fast holiday. So, I'll cook a nice chicken meal tonight and then we have the tradition of eating brunch food after the fast. It's one of those yucky rainy days here where you just want to stay in pjs and watch cheesy movies all day.

Amy..You poor thing..how do you make it to work on no sleep? I guess you are powering through. Hang in there. Jen..You look great! I love the belly pic. Today I go for my newhire physical and then I am all done with that stuff. I start orientation on the 20th.

Boy oh boy you girls were chatty last night!
And thanks for the fashion advice. You just saved DH from looking dorky! Rach, glad aiden had so much fun at the zoo. Don't we always get zoo pics? I had to catch up. Yay Pictures! I love this one so much http://forums.fertilitycommunity.com...ts-small12.jpg Jen, you sure did look cute. Your belly is beautiful! Kelly, glad you had good results from the appointment! About the vitamin D, isn't it possible to have enough during the summer months and no enough as we go into winter (lack of sunshine...) My condolences to you and your family. :-( Amy, you must be so glad to have that stone gone. Will they be able to zap the remaining ones after Lily is born? Hi Liza, I love your pic too! Did Kate go the donor route? I can't remember. Gall stones would suck. What does she have to do? April, I would totally BF. I think it is a great idea. Shawna, hugs to you! You sound frustrated, honey. Yesterday I went to a local office of Dr. Coulam (a reproductive immunologist) to get some bloodwork sent to the Millenova lab in Chicago. We are testing APAs and Protein S again as well as the Natural Killer cells and Embryo toxicity. I should have those results back in 2 weeks. By then, I should have my thyroid results back after 6 weeks on this new dose. I am still exhausted.

Kelly - I'm so sorry about your grandma and for all the ****ake stuff you've been through lately. Big big hugs to you, sweetie.
Rach - I would totally take my little one all over, too - it's so fun to have a companion! And you're right, it's too hard sitting at home and keeping a little one occupied for hours. I won't tell you if I eat anything delicious tomorrow, I promise! Jen - you look amazing! Look at that belly! Now yours matches mine (when I let it all hang out). But you have a wonderful reason and um, I don't at all. hee hee. Josee - thanks! Kate did use a donor, but they were able to do TESE on Dude and use his boys. She went to a surgeon and the OB today so we'll see what they say about the gallstones. I hope your testing goes smoothly - maybe you will cycle with Kelly and I in November. All three of us seem to be waiting on other diseases to cycle. shawna - hope you feel better today, sweetie. Hi April! Glad you're almost done with all the new job readiness stuff! Have fun at your physical. Amy - sorry about the no sleep. Ugh! Hope everyone is well!

Hi girls,
Just dropping in quickly to send some love and hugs Kelly's way. I'm really sorry for your loss hun. I'll be thinking of you and your family today. I also wanted to say that Jen you look amazing! You have the most perfect belly bump. I insist you post regular pictures from now until D'day. By the way, have you picked a name for Walnifer yet? Did I miss that post? Rachael, Aiden is perfect, I can't wait for he and Reed to meet. Hi everyone else. Hope you are all doing well. Amy, you are soooo close! Shawna, are Monkey and Boo doing well? Tia, wheres your bump pic?Gotta go feed the 'mouth'. (new nickname for Reed when hes feeding all day..lol) I'll drop in later on to see if theres anymore news.

Hi ladies! It is so windy here the house is literaly rocking in the wind! Not a very fun feeling but it did help me sleep until 10 to twelve this morning! lol.
Kelly- I am so incrediably sorry for your loss Sweet Heart! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!! Rach- I'll have an ice cream sandwhich tomorrow inyour honor! Jen- You look great! Liza- I was going to tell you, you are so beautiful! I love your avatar picture!! Tia- I don't know if my opinion weighs in much but we bought the cadilac of infant car seats. We got the Peg Perego. (the maxi cosi was a close second) The reason we bought it, I heard many bad things about Graco to be honest and I am paranoid since it took us so much heart ache and heart break to have these little ones. The head rest is supposed to be really safe and I loved the colors. (We got the green bubbles) But for us, our kids should be in them for upwards of a year since they'll probably be small from the get go. If I were buying a single stroller, I was so inlove with the Quinny strollers but I saw that Valco Baby makes a really nice single stroller as well!! Ahhh well, I guess I can't really weigh in much here...so I'll zip it. lol. Alana- Great to see you! We are all doing fantastically except my up and down moods. Well we're off to the vet today but I am sure I'll catch up with y'all a bit more before we do go!
