Move over ladies....
There's a new pregnant mama in town! 
Our little twins (ahhhhhH!!) had the most amazing little hearts each beating at 122 bpm this morning. I seriously can't believe this is happening and not sure when it will actually sink in.
Since I've been around FOR. FUCKIN. EVER, most of you are aware of our history. But for those who might have just jumped right here, this was our third IVF cycle and the first frozen cycle. I am a 4th grade elementary teacher and Jimothy is a mailman. We have one bitch cat, who is SO not going to be pleased with what I'm going to bring home for her soon. I'm a sarcastic asshole and I like to take pictures of myself.

Our cat (who also had bitchy tendencies) was totally fine with the baby. Never tried to get in his crib/swing/changing table, never tried to touch him, nothing. We lost her this spring :-( but it was never an issue. She kind of just pretended that he didn't exist!
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

That being said, I have to agree with Emerald. I had moments after my loss that I hurt & had to take some space, but I never told anyone "fuck the pregnants." Comments like that made me scared to annouce my second pregnancy & when I stopped participating fully on GP.
I know others feel the same way. After that comment, I watched this board start to die. I know plenty still lurker, but you have to realize past actions will matter & keep people away.
I hope you see what its like to feel like an outsider on GP. You already saw how hard it can be to label when you gave exciting news you want to share. Please be more careful.
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
And @Emeraldeyed315 I don't recall you posting here much, except for when there is drama. So why come back now? You're hurt. You're on FB. You have your group. Move on.

And for realz, haters to the left. Aim certainly has doled out her share of snark, but I have rarely seen any that was undeserved.
Seriously haters, this is not the time or place. And unless you've struggled or dealt with longterm IF you're just not going to get it. What you've done is even well beneath my own snarky moments.
There's an ignore feature for a reason.

Also, Aim, I am so, so happy for you. It's been a while since I've been this genuinely excited for someone's announcement. I wish you a very happy and healthy 9 months!
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
But I like her. She's gone through a lot to get here and deserves these babies. I feel like attacking a BFP post is taking that celebration away, and that's not fair.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
She deserves her moment on this board. Let her have it. A good bit of us have traded snark and bitter back and forth, but a post like this on GPM is not the place to snark.
But on the other hand, it's been shown that I'm not the worst snark of all the land, so hooray for me!
I'm glad you get to join the ranks, aim. It's been a long road and you've worked your ass off. It's time to relish in the fruits of your labor. I look forward to hearing updates over the next nine months! How are you guys feeling about twins??!
