AIBM: The boy will eat anything! I am worried we will not be able to afford to feed him when he gets off breast milk... that was his first pickle, and yes, it was a regular sour pickle. Which he alternated with strawberries and mangoes. He is also a big fan of pesto, but not so much tomato sauce. I hope he maintains his adventurous palate, because a future of chicken nuggets and pasta is not what I want... Shoot! I took pics of the boy in hius Speedster onesie. Now to post, to post...

Wicked cute. LOL I love when he just reaches out and grabs the hand holding the strawberry so it won't go away. Smart baby. :)

P.S. Remember that strange child development study about infants and food? The gave infants who were only nursing trays of various food and let them sample at will. They tended to eat a diet that looked strange but met all their nutritional needs, including one baby that chose cod liver oil who turned out to be deficient in vitamin D.

Welcome to Troll Control. Your genuine thoughts are welcome. Please be patient if your comment doesn't appear immediately. I may be otherwise occupied.

The data thus far

October 4, 2010. 30 weeks+ and going well. Hard to believe that the IUIs and chemical pegnancy and betas all actually added up to this: aching ribs and sore back and huge belly and 9 weeks to an REAL baby.

April 22, 2010. Back to RE for followup. Good stong HB. Definite blobbiness observed. Measuring 6w5d +/- 4d-- but there is definite growth from the OB scan, so I believe this is just measurement error and difference in machines. Dr. assure me it looks great, and I agree. First feeling of "OMG, I think I might be pregnant for real." I almost graduate but she wants me bakc to look at my superzsized ovaries one last time.

April 19 2010. First OB appt. Normal, orb-shaped sac, nice HB, "about 140". Measuring 6w5d +/- 2d.

April 15 2010. Heartbeat. Measuring 6w1d +/- 4d. "Irregular sac".

April 8, 2010: Beta #3 2699 @21dpo (49h doubling); p4>20; E2 rising. ONE gestational sac. Orangish spotting 12 h after scan, changing to brownish. Oy, let the panic begin.

April 5 2010: Beta #2 990 @18dpo; p4 >20; E2 638. Doubling time: 38.91. Solid so far!
