My friend had her twins last night and they look absolutely precious! I am so happy her for and I am sure she is so excited (mixed with 100+ other emotions). Anyway, I can't wait to meet them!!
Her having her babies made this all the more real. We are at 22 weeks and 3 days---so past our half way point, but I am in no rush to get to the end. I am really excited to meet our baby, but I know once we have our baby everything will be changed=so I am okay in this holding pattern. Taking it one day at a time--dealing with headaches on an off, backaches here and there--and a bad mood a lot??? (or people tell me--I feel fine personally).
I am a 35 (almost 36) year old with a supportive and loving husband and one fabulous golden fur-baby! After many failed IUI's and a fresh IVF cycle ending in ectopic---We had a successful FET. 40 weeks of disbelief later we are parents to a beautiful baby girl--every moment I spend with our baby reminds me of how blessed and lucky we are. ...read at your own risk. Of course not one thing I write is meant to offend or upset anyone.

Fellow Infertiles
Lots of the blogs that I follow have been getting great news about being pregnant and I am so happy for all of them--all of us. It brings me back to that place where we were in the beginning of this pregnancy and since then on and off. That place of unsure and not being too excited---or really believing that there is a baby coming. It's important for me to always keep my fellow infertiles close to my mind and heart because I never want to forget how lucky we are and how much we have been through--our resilience, perseverance and untiring determination.
I keep thinking I will call my nurse at the clinic (she had told me she was excited to hear updates) and update her---and thank her and the clinic---but I don't because I just can't jinx things.

Going along...
Things seem good, I am beginning to think a lot of thee headaches are due to relaxin. I have neck pain a lot and usually wake up with a headache that nags all day. Or maybe it is sinuses because now I am convinced I have a cavity but it may really be my sinuses. The most annoying thing right now is these eye floaters, which again could be sealing eye muscles...the eye doc said not to worry unless they get worse. I do have my monthly OB appt Friday so I will menion it.
They say that our baby is getting into his/her sleep patterns now, which is not great because I wake up every night at 3 and stay up tip 4 or 5!!! Eek.

Worst Blogger Award
I had just started to feel good--for the last two weeks and then yesterday I woke up toppled over in pain--I thought maybe it was gas so I walked around for like 45 minutes--but no real relief--I decided to go to the ER--and there they did an ultrasound to see if it was my appendix (no ultrasound on the baby, but the heartbeat was 130)---but it wasn't my appendix---GOD IS GOOD! But I still had the pain--after 4 hours they discharged me saying it was round ligament pain--It got worse but then this AM--after sleeping on a 90 degree angle on my side, with a heating pack and a big pillow between my knees---it seems to have calmed down--But the fear it could come back is still strong. I mean, I thought when people talked about Round ligament pain they were talking about a little stretching, not someone stabbing you in the belly button and dragging the knife to your right side!!!
20 weeks tomorrow---It is so odd for me to think that last March this baby was made---after my egg retrieval, this baby was 1/21 eggs ---and now is on it's way to being a baby. Our baby. We have our 20 week ultrasound on Monday and so far I am pretty calm although I am sure subconsciously I am freaking out. My one big hope (besides the baby being on track growth wise) is that the ultrasound tech doesn't slip and let us see the sex of the baby--it really is important to us to be suprised--I am sure though that they have done it a million times and never accidentally exposed anything.
The baby moves a little now, not all the time, but enough to remind me it is there--I am sure it is actually moving a lot, but I just feel it a little. My husband has felt it too--I think it freaks him out a little --but it freaks me out a lot, so I guess we are a good balance!
