Latest update

Spoke with the doctor and also spoke with the RE. We have an u/s appt with the RE tomorrow. She wants to have more info about the pregnancy before we decide on the gall bladder. I am also seeing a surgeon tomorrow to see what they think.

Once again, up and down. Happy to have the u/s tomorrow!!! Sad to see a surgeon.


Oh and Liza- you are gorgeous! I actually gasped (ask Dude) when I saw your avatar.

Kate - Is it ever boring with you?!?!?!? It's like watching a soap opera!! LOL! Just kidding.

I really hope for two things tomorrow...one is that your babies have two strong beautiful heartbeats and that your RE and your surgeon can agree on what to do to help you. As if everything wasn't stressful enough. Sending many your way!!

Kate and Dude - So happy for the good news. Perhaps your theory or the reasons of not wanting to raise a dog without a companion will apply to your children, too. I agree with Kristen in hoping that the drs can agree on the right way to treat that gall bladder.
