IVF (frozen cycle) . . . $3000.00
45 (& more to come) intramuscular injections . . . $500.00
saltines & cream cheese for morning sickness . . . $3.50
seeing a little "peanut" and heartbeat on 6 week ultrasound . . . PRICELESS!
As much as we both wished for & were scared of twins, that possibility is now gone -- at least this time around. We went in for an ultrasound today & were able to see the baby and his/her heartbeat. The doctor says that everything looks good . . . size is measuring correctly & heartbeat was perfect. We'll have one more visit at Shady Grove in 2 weeks before I'll be discharged to a regular OB.
I've been feeling some morning sickness - all day long, of course. Its not nearly as bad as what other people go through but just has me feeling a little crummy with food aversions and wishing that I could just go out to eat all the time. Of course, we've banned eating out this year (bummer!), with a couple of exceptions. One of those exceptions is for traveling, so I'm really looking forward to a trip to Arizona next week -- too bad Jeff won't be joining us :(
Anyway, that's our news! Due date is December 13th, so we'll get one more tax deduction in before the end of the year!
Congratulations!!!! We're so excited for you! I really hope that the morning sickness only lasts for the first trimester--and not the entire pregnancy. And we can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the tax deduction!! :) I too have always wanted twins and you definitely have the better chances to have some, so I'll be cheering for "next time." (I'll remember you said that when you are overloaded with two!) I really think two was a hard transition for me. Mainly because my expectations were REALLY high. Low. Keep them LOW. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh,how exciting! I'm so happy for your family. Hope you feel better soon, keep a big supply of crackers and hope you won't need them. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I am so happy for you! I love the "Priceless" comment, so very true! And, I love the baby-namey-badge ticker so I made my own. :o) I like this one because the lady is dressed modestly. Again, Congrats and all the best!
