Very Late Grad Check-In - 7/7

Hey ladies!

I'm so sorry that I've missed a couple weeks here and now am a day late for this week. Life in general is kicking my ass, and it has been the summer from hell at work.

Anyway.... let's get to this!

Thanks for the check-in, specter ! Please don't apologize. I'm just sorry life is giving you shit right now.

Whaddup, IF?

TT is doing awesome. She's been my little buddy (and biggest challenge) these last few months with MK deployed, and while I'm SO ready to have him home, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little sad that this is the last time it will be just her and I ever again. Solo parenting her has been such a lesson in patience, but it has taught me so much about my own strength. I really cannot believe we are only a few months away from her turning 2. The saying is so cliche, but so true: the days are long, but the years are short. 

As for the tiniest tomato, I had my OB appt this AM. Everything is looking good, and we scheduled my RCS for August 16th (39wks exactly). We are up to weekly BPP/NSTs at this point, and it's always nice to see her and get that extra reassurance that things are going okay and that she's not showing any signs of being impacted by the eleventy high risk factors I have. I'm still dealing with a lot of anxiety and fear of the other shoe dropping, but I'm trying to keep myself in check since there is very little that is actually within my control. I just absolutely hate the all-consuming fear. 

QOTW: Definitely summer camp at the Y. Our Y program held its camps at parks, and back then we had free reign to pretty much run around and do whatever we wanted (including wandering into the woods, being out of counselor eyesight, etc.) .. basically a complete 180 from what I imagine things are like these days for kids who attend day camps. I have really fond memories of those times, though, and it makes me sad that my kids won't have the same experiences.

@underdog25 Can you add me please?


What is your EDD? 1/31
Do you know the gender? Finding out, hopefully in a few weeks!
How many babies are you expecting? 1
What was your diagnosis? anovulatory PCOS
What treatment worked for you to finally get your BFP? Femara 7.5 mg, TI

I'm 10w2 days and starting to allow myself to feel it is real and be somewhat positive that we will be able to bring this baby home.

Favorite childhood memory: Most years growing up we would stop at the grocery store and get deli sandwiches, chips and candy bars (for some reason that was a special treat) and then go out to the lake and walk the paths. In a way it was an ordinary event but we didn't do it more than 1-2 times a year so it became a special tradition.

Thanks for the check in specter, I hope life eases up on you soon!

I'm 20 weeks, had my anatomy scan today and everything looked good. I almost caved and asked to know the sex but restrained myself so we are still team green. Hoping to start feeling consistent movement soon and
i need to start seriously thinking of registering. Hope all my 3T ladies are doing good, I need to catch up on where you're all at.

QOTW: Either swimming in our pool or gong to the beach. I miss going to the beach and hope to make it a few times this summer.

[yoshijo]

Thanks specter!

I'm 36+1. Baby failed her BPP test so I had to be monitored in l&d for 2 hrs but she wound up doing really well so they sent me home. She did well on a follow up u/s the next day too. My anxiety is pretty high right now. But only a few more weeks!

[nikiswims]

Thanks for the check-in specter!

E is 17 months and a ton of fun. She's been into counting and colors lately and 2 and blue are her favorite number/color so we spend a lot of time finding blue things and things that come in twos. Tantrums happen as well (foot stomping and yelling no, no, no!) per toddler norm. Her drama cracks me up. She's really into the potty lately and when she poops or her diaper gets soggy she comes and tells me "poop all gone?" or "peep all gone?" so I'll change her diaper 😂.

I can't remember when I last updated but we've been TFAS. I had a failed FET, then did a fresh cycle and ended up with 2 PGS normal embryos, and am now prepping for another FET. I know I'm so lucky to have E but it all definitely still sucks.

QOTW: I grew up in a neighborhood with similar age kids and I remember riding bikes, roller skating, playing tag, catching lightning bugs, running around all day and only coming home for dinner/bed.
