If you are new to the check in, please tag Sunshiney and provide the following information.







What is your EDD?



Do you know the gender?



How many babies are you expecting?



What was your diagnosis?

If you have already answered the above questions, let us know what you're up to!







How far along are you/how is LO doing?



How are you feeling/how is parenting?



Have any important dr. appts?




QOTW: What advice do you have for IFers during the holiday season?





**Please remember, if anything happens during yours or someone else's pregnancy on this check-in, please send me a PM or tag me and let me know so that I can modify the check-in to avoid any extra harm.**

[Rama]

How far along are you/how is LO doing? 23,4

How are you feeling/how is parenting? Tired, anxious, but otherwise mostly good.

Have any important dr. appts? Not for a little while. Next MFM visit is Dec 19.

QOTW: What advice do you have for IFers during the holiday season? The best thing for me to think about during the holidays was always that, despite everything, I love my family (H, parents, siblings) and I love my friends. It's okay to spend a little extra money on them, if you have it. It's okay to not spend any money at all if your heart hurts too much or you're saving for treatment. It's okay to be selfish when you need to be and it's okay to be selfless when given the chance. Let yourself feel however you feel and don't let people or obligations dictate how you spend this time of year. You can change your mind. You can be spontaneous. Do what you need to do to make this as least painful of a time of year as you can. <3

Rama, I can’t believe you’re so far along! Super exciting:)


How far along are you/how is LO doing? A is 4 months today and overall a sweet and awesome baby.

How are you feeling/how is parenting? I’m doing ok, he doesn’t sleep well and the sleep deprivation for me is definitely taking its toll.

Have any important dr. appts? Today! 4th month appointment with shots. He seems to be taking them well. He’s 25in & 17.4lbs. Such a big guy.

QOTW Exactly what Rama said. Just be kind to yourself and definitely protect your own feelings. Always lurking and rooting for you all!

I can’t figure how to edit on Tapatalk to add a photo. Sorry!

SPOILER: Click to show

The poor dog is a little jealous of the baby. We do try to give him as much attention as we can.
*poof*

Hey guys!

A&E will be 10 months old on Friday and I literally can't believe it. E is army crawling everywhere and A is working on waving. They both love to clap.

My advice for the holidays is not to feel bad about boycotting the holidays all together, especially if there are new babies, and especially if anyone could be announcing a pregnancy. And as always, get off all social media. Seriously.

[daisy818]

How far along are you/how is LO doing? 11 weeks 4 days

How are you feeling/how is parenting? Overall okay. Started having very sporadic morning sickness last week. And I am hugely bloated. Terrible acne is starting to improve (I think?)

Have any important dr. appts? Next appointment is 12/18, but got my NIPT results yesterday - I'm having a healthy baby GIRL!!

QOTW Take plenty of time for yourself and do things you enjoy. I baked so much last year. Feel free to abandon social media, ask your husband to get the mail and screen out trigger-y cards (if he can handle that), and if some family starts to be a jerk, just walk away.

Sorry I’m so late! sunshiney, you have me listed as team blue. My daughter might agree, but it might be confusing for others. 😂

Everything is well here. Rowan is wonderful for the most part. She’s super goofy and imaginative and intuitive and such a good communicator. We’re getting a bit of a preview of this he terrible twos, though. All through Target the other day we heard “want it!” over and over again. Luckily her episodes aren’t very intense and are always short-lived.

QOTW: I wish that when somebody asked about the status of my uterus or my child-rearing plans, I had responded with something along the lines of “I’d rather spend the holiday season thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for” rather than just shrugging awkwardly.

[sunshiney]

Lol sorry mellyknu and Rowan!

daisy818 So exciting! Congrats!

@easilyunamused Awww!

Rama (tucking away your wise advice...)

wineandcupcakes Oh they sound so cute!

I have been MIA for awhile but I hope some of you remember me. The other site blew up just as V was about to be born and life got crazy. I have been feeling a pull back towards this group lately and hope you don’t mind me checking in.

What is your EDD? 6/8/17

Do you know the gender? Pink

How many babies are you expecting? 1

What was your diagnosis? MFI and anovulation

What treatment worked for you to finally get your BFP? FET #1 after IVF #1



How far along are you/how is LO doing? V is almost 7 months old

How are you feeling/how is parenting? Some days are really hard, especially in the beginning. Things seem to be getting easier now and she is a lot of fun. I still can’t believe she is here sometimes and I also get anxiety that she will be taken from us too soon.

Have any important dr. appts? Had her 6 month check up about 2 weeks ago and she’s great!


QOTW: What advice do you have for IFers during the holiday season? Protect your heart. If that means staying away from friends, family, social media do that. If it means surrounding yourself in friends and family then do that. Never apologize for taking care of you and doing what you need.
