Hi There

I would love to connect with those having babies this spring.  I underwent a 3-day donor egg IVF transfer in August 2011 and am expecting twins in April 2012.

Well,
She is here my beautiful, baby girl Giada.
Born on May 15Th!!
Best to all!!!
After a very long and natural labor I feel that the real hard work is just starting for the next 20 years.
Thanks to all for all the support and encouragement!!!

I only stayed in until the friday, (4 days including the day of birth) He was under the lamp for heat but only for an hour and we kept an eye on him becoming Jaundis but it worked out all OK....
I know how you feel, just a feeding machine ha ha, however my lil man is sleeping great so Im not tired as with lack of sleep, he is sleeping lots and is great. We have his 1st Doc appointment and hopefully he has put on a couple of ounces.......
I just sit and watch him sleep, its amazing and I still can't believe he is all mine........ :-)

Congrats!!!!  I am so glad Liam made it out safely.  Are you still at the hospital?  We had to stay 2 extra days.  The first because Grace was cold and the second because she had to be under the UV lights for jaundice.  It was so nice to finally come home.  Now I am trying to get used to very little sleep and nursing all the time (or so it seems).  Isn't it just amazing every time you look at your little baby?

Well, I got induced on Monday and a few hours into it they had to stop the IV. His lil heartbeat was dropping everytime I had a contraction, so 1 1/2hrs later I got a C Section, Little Liam Alexander was Born at 9:50am, 5lbs 11oz & 18 1/4" in length.. He is a lil cracker....... Good luck to the others who still have to give birth and keep us posted.
Big hugs xoxox

Thought I would add to the birth stories on this forum!  My water broke last night at 5:30pm while I was at home.  I phoned the hospital and asked if I could take a shower and get ready before coming in and they said that was fine.  So we arrived at the hospital by 6:30pm with me still gushing water off/on.  They admitted me but I was only having very mild intermittent contractions.  I started real labor about 1am and delivered my surprise gender baby girl by 8:29am without drugs.  It was hell with no sleep and the last food at 10pm.  I did not think I would survive and was so ready for the nurse to say it's taking too long let's give you drugs and/or c-section...anything for relief!  I thought I had a high pain threshold but it kicked my butt!  But when I hold baby Grace Addison it is all worth it.  Hubby and I are mesmerized by her.  Can't wait to hear more birth stories!
