TTC Baby P: On 32w3d & hospital bedrest
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013/07/on-32w3d-hospital-bedrest.html
Monday, July 29, 2013. On 32w3d and hospital bedrest. Well, what an insane couple of days. At the OB appt on Wednesday, my OB drew lab work to test me for Cholestasis of Pregnancy. I had a girlfriend who had it during her first pregnancy and I knew it was hell for her. I read 1 website on it and then had to stop myself because it sounded so desperate and scary. And he said "we ha w to see what we are dealing with.". I lost it completely. My midwife visited me and said I looked alot better than I did on p...

TTC Baby P: May 2013
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 30, 2013. On Things to Buy When You Get Your BFP. I'm writing this post specifically for one of my BFFs, Kasey. Who I just know is going to get her BFP very soon. Medications and Personal Items. It was a life saver for me when my morning sickness was at it's peak. It's the new Zofran. But dissolves faster, tastes better, comes in a higher dosage, and for my insurance, was cheaper than Zofran. Sensitive Toothpaste and Mouthwash - I started having serious tooth sensitivity in my 2nd trimester...

TTC Baby P: February 2013
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Here are pictures of the twins from the visit at Maternal Fetal Medicine on 02/11/13. It took me until just now to realize that the RE's office and MFM refer to the babies differently. Those labels are from MFM, but my RE refers to them in reverse. Anyways, here is a picture of the twins from the visit with my RE last Friday, when I was exactly 10 weeks. I saw my OB yesterday, and she said everything looks great. We got to hear both babies' heartbeats on the doppler, whi...

TTC Baby P: On 33w4d & Water Breaking
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013/08/on-33w4d-water-breaking.html
Wednesday, August 7, 2013. On 33w4d and Water Breaking. Just when it seemed like everything was going so well, life hands you a curve ball. The amount of fluid that came out was insane. Every step I took, it gushed. If I stood still, it just ran down my legs. No one really prepares you for that - especially when you think you will end up being a scheduled c-section and not deal with all of this. Especially when you have 2 waters that could break. This condition is called P-PROM. The first 2 days I was on...

TTC Baby P: January 2013
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 5, 2013. On Estrogen and Holding off on the Lap. However, my nurse also told me a story of a girl with the same lining measurements and grades as me, and that yesterday she got a positive beta. So, she reminded me not to lose hope. Right now, it's about striking that elusive balance between being hopeful and not getting my hopes up. Friday, January 4, 2013. On Cycle #12: 7DPIUI Ultrasound and my crappy lining. I am emotionally exhausted from wondering WHY this is happening to us and WHY...

TTC Baby P: October 2012
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2012. This information shocked me - when did things get so dire? I was always under the impression that I may be able to get pregnant on my own, but that due to my own desire to "be aggressive", that's why we took the medication route. Now he's telling me that I need the injects to get pregnant? I went and got a copy of my chart from the old RE's office, and much to my surprise, throughout the chart, there were things indicating that "patient may be able to get pregnant on her own", ...

TTC Baby P: On my 3D/4D ultrasound, my baby shower, & my 1st hospitalization
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013/07/on-my-3d4d-ultrasound-my-baby-shower-my.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. On my 3D/4D ultrasound, my baby shower, and my 1st hospitalization. I have been so overcome with circumstances and a crazy life that I've been neglecting my poor blog. When I had originally started this, it was mostly to track all my infertility stuff and to just remember every step of that journey. Now I like using my blog to remember everything with my pregnancy. In the 2nd set, you can see Ryder opening his eyes and Brynley smiling. :). Sunday was spent unloading all of the stuf...

TTC Baby P: On 30w & being thankful
http://ttcbabyp.blogspot.com/2013/07/on-30-weeks-being-thankful.html
Friday, July 12, 2013. On 30w and being thankful. I'm 30 weeks pregnant today. This signifies many things for me - namely that if I were to deliver now, I wouldn't necessarily need to deliver at the higher tiered hospital with the bigger NICU (which is about an hour away), but rather deliver at my home, and chosen, hospital with the smaller NICU. Just now, I was sitting here and I looked at my wall calendar, and I saw the "30" written in today's block. July 12, 2013 at 10:56 AM. 30 year old happily marri...
