Right or Left?

It's interesting to see which hand Nadia uses more frequently for different activities. When she turns off the light switch (something she now does with 100% accuracy), she always uses her right hand (usually her index finger). However when she's feeding herself (she now favors Kix over Cheerios), she uses both hands but tends to favor her left hand.

I've been trying really hard not to obsess over perceived "symptoms", but yesterday I will say I had heartburn most of the day, and it's returned again this morning. The first time I ever had heartburn was during my pgcy with Nadia. It started during the 4th week (which I'll hit in 5 days) and continued even through labor. I kept telling myself yesterday that it's probably from the PIO shots. If I get a BFN of course it will be hard emotionally especially considering unlike last time, we don't have any frozen embryos. What will make it easier to take will be the fact that I can go hug my sweet little girl. I am not trying to minimize the pain of those who have secondary infertility, but I think a BFN is harder when your arms are empty. The second thing that will help is being on vacation. I hope it will help distract me if we get the bad news that we lost another set of triplets. Of course I'm hoping and praying for the best belated Mother's Day gift possible - a BFP!!!

Nadia has learned how to climb. This morning she almost got herself up into one of our kitchen chairs! I stopped her before she accomplished her goal. She had pushed one of her gyms over to the table, stood on the bottom part, got her knee up on the top part, and was holding onto the kitchen chair trying to get into the seat. Oh my goodness! We have to keep a close eye on this little girl who is definitely into exploring her world!

Paul felt his presentation went well yesterday. The last two nights put together he's had less than 6 hours of sleep. He's going to sleep well on the vacation I think! Today he's finishing writing a paper that is due next week, but since we'll be away he must submit today.

I weighed Nadia this morning, and with her clothes on she weighs a little over 20 lbs. She's a growing girl! Her 3rd tooth is quite visible now (more of it has descended), but although you can see the 4th tooth clearly through the gum, it hasn't broken through yet. I'm taking some infant Tylenol with us as I think it will break through while we're in Antigua.
