Wonderful News

I have the most fabulous news ever, so you'll have to excuse by wine-blogging. I can't call it "beer-blogging" like "beer-goggling," as I don't touch beer with a ten foot pole.

Remember our best friends K & G where K had a miscarriage last month? Well, she's pregnant! She called me last night saying that she's been taking her temps this past month as I instructed her and wanted to know how long they should stay high, as she'd been high for 18 days. I told her to take a test in the morning and let me know.

During the day, I was going crazy with anticipation. I called her on her cell and left a message for her to call me on her break. She did and told me it was positive and she'd had the doctor do a blood test and it was over 700! I told her that was fabulous. She didn't know how fabulous. I think she's in shock.

So I have a question for my fellow secondary infertiles out there. Are you happy when friends and family have been trying hard for one and make it? I am. I think I have more of my little green monster come out when friends and family don't have issues adding on to their existing family. I think it's because I have Phoebe.

But this baby will be very special to us. They are our best friends. I'm starting to think of a quilt pattern to make for the baby once we move into the new house. So, congrats to K&G, our best pals. They will be some of the best parents ever! I'm positive this one is going to work out for them. Those are just fabulous numbers!

That's really great!! I try to be happy to everyone who's having a baby - it's such an exciting time. It's hard to keep the green monster in check but I think it's healthier all around for you to be happy.

I actually have a hard time with pregnancy envy or more broadly envy of reproductive health. And although it's mostly with people who have no problems adding to their family (as I have one daughter), it comes up with others, too. Not always, but unfortunately often enough.

I think it's great that you're so happy for your friend!

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
