I haven't checked bak in a while, but how is everyone doing? I imagine most of us have already had our little ones and I hope we're all settling in. Our guy is over a month old now and has his fussy moments (he has a schedule. Right now, it means our dinner time. Yeah. Just as DH and I are sitting down. SO. NOT. FUNNY. I guess that's why the microwave was invented.

I havent checked back here in a long time. Congrats writegal and CRMivf on the birth of your babies! I had a baby boy on November 16th! He was 9lbs 10 oz (yikes!) and we named him Brayden Hunter. After all the problems we had at the start of the pregnancy, we were so relieved to actually see him and know that he was healthy. They sent my placenta for further testing but we havent heard anything back yet.
Hope everyone is doing well!
