Take care everyone.

[racechick24]

Angie...great news! Glad you're doing good! I can't believe you're that far along! I bet you're glad to have DH back home!

Tee...where are you?

Licia... for the shopping trip! Sounds like you had fun! When is your next appt?

to everyone else. This board seems to be slowing down quite a bit. Got any lurkers out there, any newbies, grads with any updates! Feel free to join us! We'd love to have you!

Me...nothing new, like Licia said...just . I go Friday for my next appt so hopefully there is some progress but I doubt since I've been pretty immobile from the Bell's Palsy. It completely wore me out both mentally and physicially (I think some of the tiredness was caused by my horrible job!). I need to start getting more active and I am finally feeling like I can now. As far as the Bell's goes...it's resolving, slowly. I can now close my eye and my smile is almost back so I am glad about that...guess you could say I'm about 90% recovered.

Angie, great news about the GD test!

Kelly, August 6th is my next appointment. Feels like it is so far away! I am so excited about eaching the finish line, that the time is going by pretty slowly. Grrrrrr! I want something to happen, loose my plug...SOMETHING!! LOL Great to hear that you are alomast recovered from the Bell's. Is your little one head down? Mine isn't.

I was up early this morning, 5:30am, for no reason at all. I am kind of tired now, but now I have to fight the sleepiness.

Hello to all!

[racechick24]

Licia...I "think" Owen is head down. I get movement 'down there' that feels like he's grinding his head on something and I get what I think are little kicks to the right rib. I have an appt tomorrow and my OB will do the GBS test and check fetal positon and cervical length.

Just marking my spot. I am still taking it easy and unpacking when I can. I am in 2nd tri now so I am starting to get my energy back. Watch out! My house will never be cleaner...especially since we are in our new home! My parents will get here on Saturday, Amy and I can't wait! My dad and mom have already said they are going to help unpack more, but make me rest and tell them where stuff goes. We shall see about that one, DH and I have done alot but there is still alot to be done!

Well I gotta run, Dh should be on his way home and I have to get the dinner on. He is finishing up at the apartment over the next 2 days and then we get to hand the keys in and be done with it! WOHOO!!!

[CaliOC]

Kelli, that will be great if he is head down. I had my GBS test on Monday. That was the test I couldn't think of the name. LOL Also, at my last appointment I was still high. *sigh* Everyone thinks I am going to have her early, but I think she will be late.

Maggie, great news about moving into the new house!! I can't wait to make that change in my life.

Hi girls!

Angie, congrats on the glucose test.

Kelli, glad the Bell's Palsy is getting better. I am sure you are relieved!

Licia, you are too funny! At least you are on the last baby on your ticker so you are truly in the home stretch.

Maggie, glad you are getting some of your energy back and congrats on making it to the second trimester.

As for me, things have been crazy. DH is out of the hospital. He was supposed to have surgery last Saturday to repair his broken leg, got all the way to the operating room and was put under anesthesia only to have the doc cancel because DH had an irregular heartbeat. He was admitted for additional cardio testing...good news was that he did not have any blockages. So he was able to have the leg surgery on Monday. Now he is home but he has a long recovery and has to work on some other health issues that were identified during his hospital stay. I am just happy he is home in time for the babies' birth.

And if I did not have enough drama, I went to the OB on Tuesday for my 35 week appt and my blood pressure was high. The PA (filling in for my vacationing OB) tells me she is concerned and thinks that I should be admitted to the hospital. I immediately become concerned because at that time, DH was not discharged from the hospital. Long story short, they allowed me to go home once they ran some tests with the instructions that I was to rest in bed. If the test results came back with any concerns they would call me and admit me to the hospital. Well, I am at home.

Tomorrow I have my next NST so I am hoping that the babies continue to look good and I don't have to be admitted. I am really trying to get to 37 weeks. It has been an eventful last week!!!

I hope everyone else is doing well!

[iamblessed]

I forgot to mention that I am now 1-1.5 cm dilated!

[Luv2CABaby4Me]

Hi Girls...Been awhile since I've last posted cause life has been crazy!! But I've been quickly checking on everyone's progress in between a few trips and helping my grandparents move out of their house.
Angie..That's so great you passed the glucose test! Hope you're feeling good too.
Kelli-I can't believe you are at 35 weeks! I was sad to hear about your Bell's Palsy but I'm glad to see it's getting somewhat better. You have had alot of things thrown at you..you are one tough woman!
Licia-You are really far along too...glad to see you are doing well.
Maggie-Congratulations on baby and your new home. That's must be very exciting..I can't wait to move out of this freaking apartment and into a house!
Tee-Sorry to hear about your Dh's leg and surgery..he must have been frustrated when they first had to postpone it. Hope he feels better soon. And for yourself..take it easy..you've done beautifully with those babies so far..you are almost there!
Me...started Lupron July 8th and tonight..decrease the Lupron and start the Follistim..finally!
then my next visit with RE is Tues 7/31. Lupron sucks..I'm so tired of having this headache and the everlasting AF that started last Wednesday and is still going..grrrr. When my downstairs neighbor started blasting his music this morning I almost lost my mind.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.
Cindy

Tee, good to hear that husband is home. I am so jelous that you are dilating already. i know that you want to make it to 37 weeks, but if they come early I hope that everything goes well. Do you feel differently knowing that you are dilating? Did you see your mucus plug? I am filled with so many questions!

As for me, nothing new to report. I am just waiting for my next appointment on the 6th. *sigh*

Hello to everyone!

[racechick24]

Licia...guess I forgot to post about my appt from last Friday, too! I'm dilated to 2cm, 90% effacted, and -1 station. As far as feeling different, yes...I've had some more contractions and cramping on and off. The OB said the baby very low. I haven't lost my plug yet, that I know but I've been having some spotting since she done the internal exam, she told me to expect that. Hang in there...I bet you're dilated by the time you go back!

Tee... for the dilation! Are you planning on a vaginal birth? HOw is your DH? I hope he's doing better!

Cindy... for your appt tomorrow!

Maggie...any updates?

[JBB373]

How exciting the Aug baby boom is almost here!!!!! I can't wait to see pics of all of them and hear about their debut party (Labor and Delivery) Sending all of you ELV's!

I'm 24 weeks along now and all in all things have been pretty uneventful! Still a tad bit tired - I think that is more about having 4 kids 5 and under (yup I still have my 3 fosters - which makes posting a tad difficult). My biggest current challenge is finding a carseat that will fit in my already packed car - never in my life did I see the need of me having 5 carseats (3 infants ones) in one car. We did buy a mini-van from a GSA auction so that has relieved the crowding somewhat! Here are some US pics of the baby along with some belly pics http://www.bjrr.net/new_page_4.htm

Babydust to anyone that needs it! Can't wait to hear about all the new arrivals!

[hopeful gal]

Hi girls, just popping to check on everyone.

Kelly: Glad the Bell's is improving!

Tee: Whoa!! Hope you and DH make it through your last few weeks without anymore drama!

Angie: Glad the test went well.

Janay: Nice you see ya. I see you're back to IVF. I think I might cancel our follow-up appt.

Jenn: Love the new u/s pic. How are the fosters doing?

Cindy: I see you are in IVF drug emotion-central. Hopefully it will all be worth it!

Licia: 30 days for you.

[broncomom1]

[hopeful gal]

Teece-Congrats on getting approved!! I am really excited and am following your process closely

Kelli-YOU are so close to having Owen!! I bet you are so excited

Maggie-Congrats on the new house!! I can't wait to own a house

Licia-You are really close too..wow that went fast!!! Has dh found a job yet?

Cindy-I am glad to hear everything is going well and I really hope you get pg from this IVF cycle

Me-well a lot has been going on here. We may have to move for dh's job so waiting to hear on that. DH started a small business and it's doing really well, and I have decided that after we move (which won't be until next year) that I am doing another IVF cycle, and I may do DE's but I might give my "old" ones a try Hope everyone is doing well.

Just stopping in really quick. My parents are here for a few days, they got in late Saturday. I am so glad they are here! They have helped unpack ALOT and my mom made my fav. dinner last night! We had salmon patties, fried potatoes and sweet corn. YUM!!! I am doing ok I guess, I started spotting again Sunday (was moving boxes and unpacking). The unpacking part is ok, but I overdid it as DD was having one of her temper tantrums and we were working on her room! I told her she needed to help otherwise I was not going to help her get her room all set up. She started helping and DH and
