35 weeks!

I have a feeling this may be my last weekly check-in. Since Sunday night i've been having inconsistent painful contractions. Sine they were so infrequent i waited to tell my OB until my appt today.

First the routine stuff was fine. I lost 2 pounds so im back to where i was 2 months ago. So ive gained 29 pounds if i go by what i weighed before the IVF cycle. My BP was fine. I had trace protein but since BP is good then no worries. My blood sugars are also fine and im still diet controlled.

So i told him about the ctxs. He could see i was having them. He checked me and i was 100% effaced but no dilation. He said "i think your having babies today!"...what?!?! So i went over to Triage and i felt fine. They hooked me up and i was having ctxs every 5-8 minutes, some pretty pretty strong! By the time they came back in to check me they hurt pretty good...no change. They gave me a shot of Terbuteline and that calmed them down. I got to go home to hopefully buy me a couple more days. Its been 9 hours since the meds and the ctxs are slowly coming back.

Im pretty impressed with myself to have made it this far! I know if they come now they most likely will be in the NICU for about a week but im trying to think positively that that will give me tine to recover. I really do think it'll be sometime this weekend. Jack says the 19th...we'll see!

Congratulations on your family! So glad that you all were successful. I am sorry for your losses.

We've done 1 IVF cycle and have 3 frozen embryos. We are going to see about getting a surrogate soon to carry our embryos.

I have tons of fertility issues and my husband has very few swimmers. We had to use an egg donor and we did ICSI to insert in to each egg.

We were blessed with the ability to adopt a baby girl through private adoption. It was so fast and in the beginning there was no hassle whatsoever. It just seemed to be a miracle. We were chosen to be parents before we even had our application to adopt even filled out. I had called the agency 1 day and then on the 5th day we were chosen. The envelope was still unopened on the dining room table. It was meant to be. Our precious daughter is 18 months old.

Again, I am so happy for you all. Children are such a wonderful gift.
