I do go to RGI. It is a small world! My friend was having "unexplained infertility" and went there. They got prego after one IUI! So I know that can work miracles! I have Dr. Maseelall. Love her! I have PCOS, hubby has double varicoceles, and we are finally getting started on the RE track. Should have been here two years ago, but we are here now!

Hey girl, I have been MIA lately. I found out yesterday that my disability was extended until Dec 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After that I will go into work for two weeks and then take the reminder of the year OFF, super excited. Send me pics of the shower. Brandon is sooo big, he turned two months yesterday

Aww that's nice. Where are you buying the table from? Purchased a wardrobe from Target online for our guest room. It should be coming within a week. No Brian and I have not been able to get out much, expect to Kohls and Target for diapers and stuff. We have a get-away on Nov 20th to Williamsburg, VA as part of our 3 yr anniversary which was on (10/14). I'm really excited about it.

Wow sounds like you'll be busy here soon. That;s good though at least it will keep you occupied. Definitely send me pics of the shower. I think I lost weeight from breastfeeding and the stress I went through the first weeks. I don;t know if I told you I have also been experiencing gastritis problems since the surgery and it has been hard for me to eat and swallow anything down, which makes hard especially when breastfeeding. You are constanly hungry and twristy. I have been put on meds for the gastritis and hopefully it will get better. I'm suppose to get back to work on 11/11 but my doc has asked for an extension due to the water retention I still carry from the pregnancy and the gastritis. Oh yeah the water pills have worked miracles too! I think I have lost a total of 30 lbs...

Hey, yeah my mom is still here. I convinced one of my aunts to come help me with the baby after Nov 1st. she will be staying with me for a year or so until Brandon is old enough to go to day care. He is too little to be put in day care and will probably get sick a lot from getting him in and out of the house in the mornings in the cold weather. Girl I have lost a ton of weight! This breastfeeding is killing me...how is shower or has it happened yet? Let me see pics..

Just a quick note to say hi! Checking up on you. How ya been? Hailey is still very sick. (Twin sister Hannah is growing by leaps & bounds) but Hailey has failure to thrive because her weight is stalling out. My gut tells me it's cf although all the tests say she only has one cf mutation (carrier status.) IMO Chris must carry one of those rare forms which the tests dont pick up. The drs can't figure things out yet are blaming her gi tract problems, but I will be taking her to a cf clinic asap. I hope I'm wrong. Love, L

I dont think there's really a time line when I have to tell my employer. In my school, the women tend to tell right from the start, I dont know why though, maybe of days they might be too ill to come to work. I'll let you know when I tell them at my work place. I'm 14weeks now.
I'm so glad you have the loan thing sorted out. :)) Relax and enjoy urself and ur dh.
Take care.

Hey girl, wow, I think Brandon missed my mom or something or he was probably sensing me being so stressed out. He has changed completely in a matter of days since my mom came back to help out. He is almost sleeping through the night and is getting quite a bit during the day too! AMEN, I am able to get more rest now and do certain chores around the house. What a blesssing...........He is a month old tomorrow! BTW my hormones are almost back to normal now. Girl, you better be prepared to ride the rollocoster when you have yours... ;)

I'm fine, thanks. Had my booking in today. I was told I have to take tetanus vaccinations, so I had the first one....it hurt!!! My upper left arm still hurts. And to think I have to take 5 shots. Thank God they are well spaced. The next one is a month from now. I was also given my iron supplement tabs, folic acid and vitamin c.I'm expected to take them once a day. I still havent officially informed my employer about being pregnant.....what's the policy about when to inform your employer where u r? I finally told 3 of my friends and my 2 younger sisters about being pregnant. Enough about me. How are you? I hope not as stressed as before?

Oct 12
Thanks girl. It's just been so crazy. I barely have time for anything. My mom was here helping and she has vanished on me. I'm dealing with major PPD on top of everything else...UFFFFF. Things will get better..I now there is a light at the end of the tunnel. He is an adorable little guy it's just hard the first few weeks....
Oct 09
Hi, sounds like you have the shower pretty much all together.....yes my dh gets the baby as soon as he walks thru the door. I swear motherhood is hard the first couple of weeks...I want to see pics of the baby.
Oct 08
Thanks girl. He has been so fussy is not even funny. It will get better....I hope. How have you been? How are the baby shower plans coming along? is your sister a member of medhelp?
Oct 08
I know!!! I can't wait for you to do IVF, if your taking days off for certain appointments we could go to lunch : )
Oct 08
Feeling ok, atleast its my last day of work. My supervisor said to just go ahead and take tomorrow also and they would still pay me!!! I am so ready!!! How are you?
Oct 07
I just have a lot of **** going on right now. Dealing with the baby and personal issues...having a baby is harder than I thought. I am so sleep deprived is not even funny...
Oct 07
Nope, apparently she's content right where she is, lol. I'm hoping that at my appt friday they will say its time to induce because of the GD....we'll see!!! How are you doing?
Oct 06
I'm sure your pmts will be around or under that. We did a $10,000 equity loan to finish our upstairs and the interest rate is only 5.25 and our pmts are right at $100 a month, so yours will probably be right around $175. My next appt is on Friday. I am still on my miserable diet and I can't wait to not be!!! I hope Katy gets the house, where at off Bailey?
Oct 06
Sorry, yes I did get your text right when I was going to bed, my cell was upstairs so I didn't get it till late. That is a really good interest rate, especially for something like that!!! So I'm assuming this should work for you guys???
I'm feeling good especially each day closer to my leave, lol.

My mom comes to the house every morning at 6am, she has been a life saver. Usually work isn't that bad I'm home by 2pm everyday, BUT I had my weekend nurse QUIT, and my Eve nurse was out with H1N1 all las week, I worked 82 hrs. It really Suck-ed! I will like the extra X-Mas money! :) Since I can't spend DH's because he bought a new toy! Although I am enjoying it as well, I wish I could drive it though! It's a 6 speed, I've tried and I am really bad, I don't want to tear such an expensive car up tring to learn to drive a stick shift! LOL I do need to upload pics I'll do it in a little bit, She is so pretty ;) *wink*
Oct 05

I hope so, I've been so busy this month with work, I feel like I'm never on any more. I miss all my girlies! :)
