What are your updates?
Do you have any QOTD suggestions?
Re: PCP/TTC/ATP
Here's a random QOTD... What sign is your child/are your children/will your child be?
My bro and SIL are expecting a Scorpio and we're thrilled! Really, I don't much stock into them, but it's fun
I had no idea - I had to look it up.
here is what I found - interesting since our kids are exact opposites of each other!
Tauruses born on May 18 are characterized by love of freedom and independence. These individuals are temperamental, lovable and exasperating; they make it impossible for others to be indifferent toward them. They possess extraordinary creative energy, and they are never without an important cause to champion. They enjoy taking risks, but only when they believe the risk really matters.
If this baby is born on time, it will be a Pisces.
As for updates, not too much new here. The morning sickness was getting better but I had a rough weekend and this morning was no good either. I'm also having heartburn lately.
Otherwise, things are fine. I'm hoping I'll get to feel some movement soon, and I'm starting to show a little bump. I'm starting to have to adjust how I sleep... on my tummy doesn't work anymore, and on my back is starting to be uncomfortable at times too.

OMG 2brides, your 3 year old Tauruses are a day older than my 3 year old Taurus born on 5/19!!!
My poor baby Taurus is curled up sleeping on my bed as I type this. She woke up early this morning with a 101 fever...welcome to cold and flu season. I am stuck at home today with a crapload of work I should be doing at work and wishing I could be watching something else on TV other than Caillou! So I decided to check in on the board for some adult conversation.
Meegs I love the jack o'lantern shirt, very cute!
Oh my. Caillou - he reigns supreme in this house and my DP and I can relate anything back to Caillou - "see this is like when Daddy and Caillou went to the museum and he lost Rexy. Oh, you are going to school like Caillou goes to playschool and plays with Leo, Clementine, blah, blah, blah..." Yea, you know. :P And now that the Wiggles are on Sprout - UGH.
I hope she is feeling better.
Well this baby should be an Aries.Oh great the Aries Life Pursuit = The thrill of the moment. The baby is already taking after it's other mother!
Other than my complaint posted on the other board yesterday I'm doing well. I'm not feeling as bad in the afternoons and the exhaustion isn't that bad. Right now I just want the 2nd trimester to be here so I can talk to my HR department about my leave and make sure we're on the wait list for my office daycare.QOTD: Baby is due to a Taurus, which is my sister's sign.
No big update from me. We're just counting down to our first appt, and enjoying being pregnant. Biggest symptoms are sore boobs and exhaustion. I have never been so tired in my life. It's not that I'm constantly exhausted, it's that when I'm tired, I'm dead tired. All done. Good night. It's like my body is forcing me to sleep. I've had some nausea, fairly consistently, but not too intense, which is a plus.

I have had a full week (actually, a week + a few days, now) without bleeding. Yay and knock on wood!!
We are very much looking forward to our NT scan on Friday-- I can't wait to see our Little Babies again!! Unfortunately, a crappy work day last Friday (which was supposed to be my day off) meant that I haven't been able to do the blood test part yet, so we won't have full results for a while after Friday.
After a (concerning) sudden lack of morning sickness at 9 weeks, it came back last weekend. Not as bad as before, but I'm back to feeling sick all the time and having a hard time thinking of things to eat. But I am definitely not complaining! I find symptoms reassuring. I'm odd like that.
Gotta run to a meeting-- hope all is well with everyone!
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
Me too.
So glad to hear about the lack of bleeding!! Yay for the twins!!

I am a cancer as is Ella. S is a pisces.
Ella had her 2 month shots today and was a rock star. She had a blood transfusion last night and is feeling much better. She is so pink. I didn't realize how pale she was until today. Her heart rate is also really low due to the fact that she has so many red blood cells she doesn't have to pump so hard. She also had a really good day eating. She was measured today and she is getting so big! She is 5 lb 9.5 oz, 18.25 inches and her head cir. is 46.5 cm. She is a little above the 10th percentile for weight, 25th percentile in length and 75th percentile in head cir. This is so great since she started below the 10th percentile in everything. Her current release goal is Saturday she needs to be spell free until then so cross your fingers!
Oh and I got my hospital bill today. This does not include the first hospital, the ambulance or Ella. It was $44,000! Thank goodness we have great insurance my portion in only $150. I look forward to seeing Ella's bill it has to crazy.
Annie and I are both Gemini's. If she had been born a day earlier she would have been a Taurus. Unfortunately I think she will have the typical dual personality of the gemini just like I do.

We're moving through out pcp list slowly and steadily. I'm starting to make sense of my chart and we're tracking other fertility signs too. Overall, this process is giving me a really strong sense of my body, which has felt surprisingly good. It doesn't look like we'll be ready to start in Oct. as I had orginally hoped, but soon.
Glad to hear all the great updates. TWB, so glad to hear you had a week without bleeding!
Fingers firmly crossed!!! Go Ella!!!

I missed Wednesday, but thought I'd post anyway. We're so close to getting the condo on the market. There's a good chance it will be listed on SATURDAY! Huge PCP item!
I also scheduled my HSG for the 28th.
We don't know about any future babies, but I'd love a summer baby (i.e. one of our first few months work!) so that would be Leo or Virgo. My mom's a Leo, but I don't know any Virgos so I wouldn't be sure what to "expect." C and I are both Pisces.
