Every time the tech went to move the baby he/she would put their arms over its head like DH does when he doesn't want to wake up. It was sooo cute! We got a bunch of hand waves, leg kicks, roll overs and stretches.
AMAZING!!
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
I went in yesterday for the US for the 1st trimester testing. You know, the one where they measure the spine and such. It went fabulous!
She said the baby looks great and healthy. I need to get the blood results to confirm, but she said it all measured normal. Baby sure was moving a lot. So amazing! Looks like a real baby now! I cried! My DH missed it, I text him the wrong address, so he was about 5 minutes too late. But OMg this was incredible. Baby was squirming around at first, wouldn't sit still. Then put his/her hands up over the head. Looked so freaking cute!!!
I go next week to see my regular OB for my 3 month check up. Cant wait! I love going to these dr visits. Lol

TTC#2 June 2013 MMC Sept 2013 (partial molar), CP 02/2014 DS2 born: December 5, 2014
Long story short- still no 3 hour glucose results, I'm measuring 36w (I'm 29, really) and I got my rhogsm shot. I was also supposed to get my TDAP but this dr refused to do both in one day.
Next appointment in 2w, along with a growth scan.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!

The OB from yesterday was my least favorite of the bunch, but I'm hoping it was just an off day for her. The entire experience was just so different than any other appointment, I had no idea how to feel about it. But- I called this morning, and I passed. Phew!
Best part is that I can now tailgate without guilt tomorrow at the UCONN game

* After 22 months and 2 failed IUIs, we finally got our BFP *
DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
Had my Strep B test on Wednesday, and DH and I got out TDap and Flu shots on Thursday...they made him lay on the table in the Dr. office b/c he has a history of fainting when giving blood so they were worried with 2 shots in a row! haha I got to sit in a chair like a normal person.
Baby is measuring on track at just over 6lbs (though at this point all estimates are +/- a pound or two, but 6lbs sounds about right for what I'm feeling)
And then of course the day after my dr. apt. I felt less movement, freaked out, then realized hmmm, been busy all day lay down, and baby was fine. I feel like the day after my Dr. apts I always feel less movement and worry more than usual, b/c it's the longest time until my next apt, which isn't very long b/c I'm weekly now!
