PG - 10 Weeks 5 Days - Happy New Year!!!

I actually came into the office today to get a head start on the work that needs to get done next week, but mostly since my brakes needed to be done and the car dealer is up the street from my office.

We're going up to the Poconos to see my family for the holidays. My mom is a nurse and worked most of the time over the holidays, so there was no point in going up earlier. Can't wait to show everyone the photo album of my ultrasound pics. Next Monday is my last ultrasound appointment with the RE. The following Monday I have the nuchal translucency test in the morning at Maternal Fetal Medicine at the hospital. Then I have my first appointment with the OB office in the afternoon. It's only with the nurse practictioner. Not sure when the next appointment will be after that. I think I should be expecting to have another ultrasound around 18 weeks.

Other than that, the holidays were nice. I'm glad they are over, but it was nice to be off while it lasted. I just wish I didn't get this nasal cold that I seem to be fighting off the last week. I'm not sure if it's the pregnancy or the cold that is making me want to sleep so much. I had one day this week that I kept taking little catnaps, but they weren't refreshing. I felt like a walking zombie all day. I slept 11 hours that night and felt much better the next morning. I can't wait for the 2nd trimester, so I can be a bit more alert.

BTW, Leo did ask me if I had any new year's resolutions this year. I told him the only one I had was to deliver two healthy babies. Sounds reasonable to me. Everything after that is icing on the cake.

Fantastic resolution! :) I think I may have to follow your lead and set the same goal for myself. (Other than the whole twins thing!) Can't wait to see an US pic. Looking at the precious little babes never gets old.

Hope you feel better soon! Being pregnant and stuffy nose/nasal issues are no fun! Take care. *hugs*

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!"
