jen, that is so cute he is hugging you already - simon just did it for the first time recently and i melted too. what's the latest with your mom - she moving in or not? i may have missed an update.

josee, i am not bs'ing you here - i had no implantation spotting and no symptoms with simon. in fact, my successful cycle was the only one where i didn't have "pregnancy" symptoms. i got my first positive poas on day 8. i started poas'ing probably 5 minutes after i got home from the transfer. you know me though, i'm a bad one to ask.

rule #1.. never count on my mom... I am going to sah after we do our refi, regardless. we decided we could swing it and it is just so important to me. besides, i am truly going to get my business going so i plan on having income.

josee-kris did ivf... beta levels higher sooner. you know me, i am a definite poas pusher, but i don't want you to do it early just in case your levels start lower. i want to keep you positive until you can actually see your positive... then you will truly be positive! oh, I had no implantation bleeding or symptoms early either...

Jen- the one bonus to the rice cereal is that you mix it with breast milk AND!! J slept for ten plus hours last night.

Kris- I'm not sure that I said how adorable Simon is!! I can't believe he is one already. What are your plans for #2?? Are you still planning?

It was pretty hot here today, the house was stiffling tonight. 73 F outside today...you all may not think it's hot but up here it's shorts and tshirt weather...lol hell it's that when it's much colder but still...lol.

[jencat215]

shawna-i really like the pics of the boys on fb. they are really getting big and are really cute. they really do look happy to have that cereal!

[Angelwithhope]

Thanks Jen. We knew J needed it because he was crying during his bottle...just like DH did when he was a kid and my MIL had to feed him faster. He was crying and crying and crying...a really hungry cry, know what I mean...formula wasn't cutting it anymore...I cannot imagine if he was breast milk fed...he'd probably drain me and L would get nothing. LOL

[hannah01]

shawna, thank you re: simon. i am definitely thinking about #2. will wait until we get settled in after our move, make an honest attempt to socialize and meet people ... and if within a year... i will probably try again using the frozen ds (same as simon) again. it is pretty hard to imagine taking care of 2 by myself - but i would make it work. what about you - are you guys going to try for more?

so will you have to have the frozen ds shipped out to you? I hope you meet a nice aussie dude and not need it

You girls are so great! THanks so much for all your support with this cycle. I've managed to stay away from the sticks and will try to avoid them all weekend long.

OK. I have a math problem for you gals.

I transferred on May 22. They called it a day 3 transfer. If my beta is on Wednesday June 3rd. Is that isn't that 15 days in instead of 14 or am I confused?

Shawna, 10 hours of straight sleep. What a trooper that little J is. How is L doing?

Jen, you sounds like you are on fire for your craft show. we'll need photos! Question for you... as time went on, did you bleed after your heparin shot? I am starting to have some post shot bleeding. Only for a few seconds but still... just wondering if it is normal... And it must be hard to see crying babies left unattended at the care center...

Amy, thanks for your encouragement. I haven't gotten the bows yet but I am looking out for them!!

My Mom is making us dinner tonight and my brother tomorrow. Such a nice family!

Martie, keeping your signature is great and it helps other people read about your success story. Some details get dropped along the way but it is sooo helpful to others.

[Angelwithhope]

Kris- Dh and I want at least four kids at this point though we waver between transfering more and not any given day. For the moment the plan is to transfer two more when the boys are around two....possibly two and a half. I thinkI may want to get potty training out of hte way before we have more, btu then we could be waiting a long while if that's the case. I do know that I'd love to have a girl. However we have been more then blessed and if they are all that we are to have, I pray that they have many daughters for me to love on!

Josee- Hang in there Hun! I think they had me scheduled for my pg test at day 15 as well and I remember thinking how odd that was too. I went in early with my OB though...lol. L is doing good. He's bringing up the rear in weight gain and other things, though he has rolled form his back to his side numerous times and J is content to stay put. He is still refluxing though thankfully the meds seem to be helping the flap heal and he does it less and less.

[parker john]

josee ... yes that would be 15 ... i never had implantation bleeding ... i can't wait to celebrate with you ... i will rub your lady bug for good luck

shawna .... wow 4 kids ... amazing! we are thinking one more ... i want them 1.5 to 2 yrs apart so we might have two cribs going on at the same time which you are already used too

jess .... how are you feeling? any m/s? i am staying home for good for awhile

today was awesome ... parker really laughed out loud and hard today ... so darn cute!

I just want to selfishly keep my little boy a little boy longer! But I also want DH to be able to feed him. He hates taking the bottle. I can't wait to be a SAHM and get him outta day care.

I am going to cut and paste a story here that I sent a friend earlier (too tired to retype) about what happened and I am annoyed...

Oh I am so annoyed at daycare, specifically Marsha, Jack mom (she works there). so yesterday walt and i pick up wyatt and he was beeing fed. so walt takes over. i sit on the floor to play with bryce, who is fussing, but stops and smiles when i sat down. lucas was crying too, but one of the caregivers (i don't know her name) picked him up to feed him. anyway, jack crawls over to me and uses my leg to pull himself up. i put my hand on his back to steady him. he picks up my charm on my necklace and is playing with it, well, it is now bryces turn for food, walt had gone to change wyatt mid feeding and came back, asking me to hold him so he could clean up (we were in infant b room). I sit jack down (at this point he was trying to shove my charm in his mouth...i hadn't noticed) so he didn't fall. he can't stand unsupported. i sit with wyatt in a nearby rocking chair. jack starts crying and crawls to me. walt comes back, i hand off wyatt, and jack is now climbing my leg again. he stands as i bend down and grabs my necklace (choking me) so i pick him up and put him on my lap, rocking him while he plays with my necklace. marsha comes in minutes later so i hand off jack, who still wants to play with my necklace! marsha doesn't say a word to me but looks pissed.
well, today megan (one of infant a's caregivers) informs me that i can't pick up other babies. wtf? every time i go in there several babies are crying and either megan or brittany (the caregivers for wyatt's class) will ask me to put on in a bouncy, move them here or there, or i have asked if i could help (usually it is only one of them in there, and they are feeding or comforting one of the screamers) and they always want help. what parent wouldn't want their child comforted? it isn't like i am some stranger off the street. our freaking kids share germy toys all day!!! i know marsha said something to megan. i have never seen her comfort a crying baby and she works there! i am counting the days until i am done. i can't stand to go into a room of crying, ignored kids and not do anything. from now on i will go in, take wyatt and be done before the crying gets to me.... nice. sorry parents of unhappy babies at daycare. oh, and i plan on getting wyatt as soon as possible so he isn't the one left crying.

oh, btw, the friend I sent this to had her kid in the daycare center too and pulled him out because he was sick the entire 5 weeks he was there. but when she went there, she would also pick up a screaming kid to comfort them.

That would beyond irriate me. I comfort/pick up too. What do you do...ignore the kids, show them no one cares about them, seriously. I can't wait till you can stay home with Wyatt too. Funny enough I think T wants me to stay home too. He is fine when we are home or out together but when it's time for day care or school as I call it he gets so upset and nasty with me lately. Poor baby. I thought about staying home a year when the new baby comes (hard time coming up with a nickname and hate callin it...well it lol).

Tia No, no m/s thankfully which makes me think Girl since I didn't have it with Mandy either.

Josee I was kind of hoping you would but I agree with Jen it maybe too soon and you may not have enough to get a positive but seriously I am soooo freakin excited to get confirmation it's a positive.

Shawna it was hot here too. 10 hours is great. T first strecth thru the nigh was 9-10 hours too. Hope it sticks :-)

[Angelwithhope]

Yes. Hee hee four....way back when we began dating I wanted ten. LOL. But yeah, I come from a family of two and I hate it...I only have my older brother and it sucks...I'm the youngest too...and DH has one brother and two sisters. I may rethink everything once we have three unless we have twins again then I won't know what three feels like. I think a singleton will feel "easier" for me if we have one since I'm used to everything times two so maybe two singletons...I dunno...it's all easy to say now, lol so we'll wait and see.

[MamaSoon]

Shawna! Careful! Octomom also grew up in a small family and wanted lots. God provided lots and then some! Can you imagine? What if you put three embies back and got 6 more babies?!

[sunny72]

Josee, thinking of you and hoping for a beautiful BFP.

Liza, thinking of you too and I think that your plan to focus on one thing at a time is a good one. I would of done the same thing for sure. You don't want to be overwhelmed right now. Can’t wait for updates.

Kris, Simon is just adorable. Happy belated birthday little man.

Jen, so happy you can finagle staying at home. You’ll love it (and go a little crazy at the same time J )

Tia, so sweet that Parker LOL.

Hi everyone else!

[dndtaylor]

Hey Ladies ... I hope all is well with everyone, it seems so. All is well on our end, Mya is teething her top two front teeth so we all know that is nuts-o right now. She is being a tropper though. I can't believe she is nine months old already! She is so big, she took her two first steps last week and can stand up on her own - I'm such a proud momma.

I just wanted to pop in and let Josee know I'm still in her corner cheering, only a few more days left. I can't wait to celebrate for her.

Thinking of you all even though I'm not online much anymore. Rachael, text me, we can get together soon. Love you Ladies!

[HRMS MOM]

OMG Devan, Mya is a little Pixie I love the first pic with her hair so cute
