Good luck today Heidi! I will be thinking of you all day. Will have to wait to after work to check in though.

We have a bottle of 7 Deadly Zins in our basement/wine cellar- we love the stuff. I love a big monster zin.

[GRITS]

Good Luck Heidi.

Susan I wish I could be you fopr a day! I miss school!

Jen I am worn out just reading about you two!

Shawna, I think a new clinic is definitely in order. Too bad you are not in WA. I have never gone more than three hours without a return call for just a question. If i indicate urgency it is within 30 min., and if I say emergency (did that once on a weekend), they patch me through immediately. You deserve a better clinic. How can he be the best if he is not even treating you!?

Goodmorning Alana.

Rachel, I would get the siblings out the way first for sure.

How are you shelly?

[goob07]

Heidi I can't wait to hear how everything goes! I want to have you join me in the 2ww!!!

Shawna - Glad to see you're taking action.

Grits - My mom had a reduction about 15 years ago. Thankfully, I didn't inherit the gigantic hooters. I'm a plain ol' C cup. DH always jokes about my boobs getting saggy when I get pregnant. He says I'll be able to stand over the crib, flop one in, and breast feed while standing there. Isn't he sweet?

Jen & Rachael - I have to say, I'm so glad the "do it now" days are behind us over here! That caused me more stress than this 2ww I think! I used the ovulation monitor too and would get so excited when the little egg popped up on the window (which I knew was coming because I could always tell when I was ovulating). Then I'd have to fight with DH to get busy - yeah, fight. He hates being told what to do and when to do it and he hates to talk about sex or reproduction so this was the ultimate "no no". So we'd argue and I'd end up crying. Then, two weeks later I'd end up crying again with the negative HPTs. Could have saved myself a lot of heartache if he had gone and done a semen analysis a looooong time ago. It never ocurred to either of us that he'd have a problem! But for months and months I thought; "Why can't somebody just PUT a baby in my belly so DH and I can avoid the turmoil?" Well here we are! Somebody put 3 in my belly yesterday.

I'm trying hard to stay in bed as much as possible today. I'm going to call in to work for a meeting and do some work on the laptop but I think I'm starting to get bedsores!! Yeah, it's only been 19 hours...

[jencat215]

OH girls! We were just kidding! Everyone knows that babies come from IVF, IUI or the stork fairy! Since I am not doing IVF or IUI this month, mine will come from the stork!!!

Sex on demand is not fun. And with a sore booty and aching ovaries- hmmmm, I'd rather be eating ice cream. But we must make small sacrifices in order to reach our goal!

Ronni- get back to bed as soon as you can! And what is wrong with ginormous hooters? I was a nice healthy C before all this started. Now I feel as a strong wind might knock me forward! I keep asking DH for a reduction but he says no. Sigh...

[goob07]

Nothing at all wrong with big boobs! Just ask 99% of the men out there! My mom was beyond double D and she's a little shorter than 5' 4". She always hated them.

I'm in bed. The wireless laptop is my best friend today. DH went to work so it's just me, kitty and laptop.

[Shellyhume]

Ronni - you really are a goob. Flop one of the boobs into the crib? Your DH is a goob, too! Laughing my tooshie off this morning... Something in the water here, girls? How are you holding up on your laptop and bedrest. I laughed (so hard my kitty jumped off the desk to burrow someplace quiet.) when you mentioned wanting someone to PUT the baby in there... and now someone put three in there. Look at you all incubating people over there. I'm so jealous... the good kind of jealousy, though.

Heidi - Go Snowbabies!!!!!! I'm praying double time today for you, my dear. You know, it just occured to me that you must have been one of those "cute pregnant chicks" like Rachael... do you have maternity pics from when you were pregnant with Stella?

Alright, Rachael - you need to tell us when you're hosting a Forum retreat weekend and we will all have to be there... preferably this winter... us New Englanders/Coloradians/Canadians could use a reprieve from the snow...

Brenna - I'm doing okay. Thank you for asking. So far no real side effects from the BCPs... I've only taken two so far... I'm a little more impatient with my darling husband but that could just be because I'm up to my ears in paperwork still and he's particularly needy when I find my way to the computer to do anything. How are YOU doing... eesh... 11 more days till your FET, ay? How're the stims treating you?

Jen - You are two grapes shy of a fruit salad... i LOVE you... hahaha! Yes, we do know that there is no sex involved in procreating... it's either IVF, IUI, FET, or stork. I hope your stork doesn't get lost this month. You did order the stork with the GPS installed, didn't you? And you keep asking DH for a reduction? Do you really think he'll ever say no? I have a weird husband, myself... I keep telling him I want an enlargement (because of my puny Bs) and he keeps saying no. I also say I want rhinoplasty, but he insists I look fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I had the money (you know, when I become a millionaire as a teacher), I would do some serious overhaul... tummy tuck (after I have my boy-girl twins in July ), lipo, and whatever it took to get feminine looking legs... always hated my tree stumps. But anyways... that's just me. Haha...

Okay, so I've been asked to produce a resume... and EEK never done one before. The student services building on campus provides a little tutorial packet so I'm busy filling in the blanks... but it mentions using personalized stationary (wth??) to match my cover letter... and I'm lost. Ew. PLUS I have to send out this resume to prospective employers... AND finish my portfolio (I started it 10/17/04... it takes a while to get one going)... and I'd much rather do nothing... I wish someone would put me on bed rest.

sorry I only made a quick post last night because my DH and I are watching the Alfred Hitchcock movies on AMC this week and it was already almost 8 so I had to make a post and run. Plus my sister called she is watching my other sisters kids this week while my sister and her DH are on a cruise with my parents ( and a bunch of other people we know). I think my sister was about to pull her hair out and it is only Tuesday. So total she has 5 kids in her care from 2 to 13 poor thing. She has 2 kids of her own, 2 of my other sisters and my uncles 13 year old. I think I will call her again tonight to make sure everyone is ok.

On the topic of the eggs growing right now. When I take the trigger they will be released so it is possible that those could become fertilized as well but highly unlikely at this stage. But it is possible. I did just read resently on another fertility website (this one was down so I was looking for my fix) that this woman just had twins last november and just found out in july that she is pregnant with no assistance. She is in total shock seeing as she was told she would never get pregnant on her own. So I guess with the three eggs that are in there now and the 3 embryos we are putting back in there is a good chance of me getting pregnant this time (right).

Here's an incredible waste of time... haha...

I went on to a link in a site I was visiting and it brought me to a part where I could make a baby... based on my husband's and my characteristics... man alive... I hope my kid doesn't turn out anything like it!!

Here is a little preview of what Baby Hume will look like...

[mmikowski]

Um Shelly....

I am sure your baby will look nothing like that.

[Shellyhume]

Hahahaha!!!

[goob07]

Oh My! That's quite a picture! I especially love the hairdo!

[goob07]

Share the link Shelly! I'm soooo bored.

[hopeful2bmom]

Um Shelly... What's wrong with Baby Hume's eyes?

Please share this link with us.

[hopeful2bmom]

Rachael- I just donwloaded the first two episodes of "Tell Me You Love Me". Holy Moly, graphic nude scenes Batman! Wonder how they do that?? That's some pretty good acting.
I really enjoyed the show overall. They do a great job of portraying the lives and problems of couples in relationships. I found my self identifying with characters and that's what makes it a good show.

I'll be watching this for sure.
How y'all doin?

[designdiva32]

Hahahaha!! You girls are SOOOOOOO hilarious! I come back from a boring day at work to read about Ronnis floppy boob and a very scary picture of Shelly's 'crack' baby. Sorry hun, but this kid looks like they were born addicted to the stuff!! lol. Too funny. Oh and I want the website too, I can scare all my family in NZ with a picture of our gorgeous child.

Oh, and Jen I agree, babies DO NOT come from sex. Storks, IUI, IVF and FET yes, but sex? Definately not! I mean come on, why would you want to go through all that mess and fuss when you can just have a doctor do it for you! hehe, lucky my DH doesn't normally read this...he would be feeling a little p'd off by now.

Heidi hun, any word? I'm waiting with nervous anticipation here. I want to hear that you didn't get to see Shrek 3 because you were lying flat on the bed letting those little embies get positioned comfortably for nine months. Argh...the suspense is terrible!!
