That’s the out-of-pocket cost of having IVF and a complicated pregnancy with good insurance in 2008. No NICU or delivery bills included – that’s just IVF, meds for the IVF & pregnancy, lab/ultrasound for the IVF & pregnancy, and copays for the perinatology and pediatrician visits, and the copays for babies’ at-home meds. Yeghads.
At least [...]

Babies Are Here!
Posted in Chloe, Emma, Lactation, Photo, Pregnancy on October 10, 2008 | 40 Comments »
So I was bored on Saturday, and decided to have some babies to spice things up! OK, not really.
At my OB appointment on Wednesday my BP was going up just a little, so we did a 24 hr urine for protein. OB’s office called me Friday afternoon and I had a fair amount of protein [...]
Party!

We hit 32 weeks today. So I went to see the OB again (every week now) and they were so excited they gave me a hat! Well, ok, so it’s not a party hat. And it might have had more to do with my blood pressure (142/92) and 2+ protein in my urine than, say, [...]
Misc Bits

1) I heard Piper out in the yard this morning squealing at something. I assumed it was a cat/squirrel/other fauna sitting in a tree or on the fence and tantalizing her. So I waddled (in all my manatee-sized glory) to the door to bring her in, wearing only a t-shirt and underwear. At which I [...]
Baby Pool
Posted in Pregnancy on September 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Come on over and guess the birth stats at my baby pool. Guessing babies’ sexes shouldn’t be hard, but weights, lengths, dates and times could be interesting. FWIW, we’ll be inducing/sectioning by 11/14 at the latest, so judge accordingly. For further reference, Watson is A, Crick is B, and it’s a near-certainty that Watson will [...]
Plus Minus

The best of the past 24 hours:
1) We celebrated Starbuck’s 31st birthday yesterday, with a trip to Outback (mmm…steak) and an ice cream cone.
2) Little miss B’s heartbeat was found waaay farther south than previously, and I can no longer feel a hard little skull under my liver, but rather something more butt-like. Dare I [...]
Weight
Posted in Pregnancy, Rants on September 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
So I popped into the department after my peri visit the other day, and ran into my coworker who’s also having twins. She’s about 26-27 weeks. The conversation got around to weight gain, and she’s proud to be not eating much and still being several lbs under her pre-pregnancy weight. (She started at a very [...]
Astonished

That’s really the only word for the peri’s reaction to my cervical sono today. The guy looked like he’d seen a very welcome ghost.
Today’s cervical measurement (that is, the amount of cervix keeping my presently 7-odd lbs of kid from falling to the floor): 8 mm. Two weeks ago? 8 mm. Four weeks ago? 6 [...]
Circumference
Posted in Pregnancy on September 21, 2008 | 4 Comments »
My due date group has a thread featuring waist measurements. In the interests of 1) remembering this a few years from now and 2) illustrating that I am not, in fact, as tiny as one might think based on the last belly shot, I’m now measuring 49.5 inches around, at 30w4d. This is [...]
Thirty

30 weeks yesterday! Woo hoo!
Tuesday: The glucola was gross. Rancid orange koolaid. Seriously felt like sugar shock, and then they accu-cheked my venous blood sample and decided to call the OB’s office before they’d let me leave! But of course wouldn’t tell me (just the dumb patient) the number. Lovely. [...]
