1. We saw AND heard Nadia's sibling's heart beating away! PTL!!! I didn't get to hear Nadia's heartbeat until 13 weeks (at the OB). It was an unexpected surprise to get to hear this baby's heartbeat at 6w6d. My next ultrasound will be in 2 weeks. He gave me 5 photos last time and 4 photos this time, but you can't really see much of a baby in these. I'll post the next ones as I know he/she will look more like a baby at 8w6d. Thanks for all your prayers for our jellybean. Please keep praying!!
2. My youngest niece (Rachel) who will turn 1 month old this week was admitted to the hospital on Friday due to a fever. Thankfully she was discharged Sunday with the diagnosis of a mild upper respiratory virus.
3. Nadia has not yet had a fever. She has had a very healthy first year aside from the initial stint in NICU and one cold two months ago.
4. Sarah, Nadia's babysitter, is a blessing in terms of how reasonable her rate is, that her house isn't much out of the way for either Paul or I, and that Nadia likes her so much.
5. Nadia only needs to be with a babysitter 2 hours a week for this summer session and then 6 hours a week for the 2nd summer session as well as the fall semester. Considering I'll be working 75% of a full-time load, only 6 hours a week of being cared for by someone other than Mommy or Daddy is great! (I am not trying to criticize anyone who places their child in daycare; it's just our personal decision to try to keep her home as much as possible.)
6. Paul won't be a TA any more! I told him the next time he'll be grading papers will be when he's a professor. :-)
7. Watching Nadia "dance" gives great delight to both Paul & I. I need to get a video of it; she even "dances" while she's sitting in her highchair. It's so cute!
8. In the past week, Nadia has only gotten up prior to 6am once. Most days she's been waking up at 6:00, but other days she's slept later than that (such as 6:30 this morning). Even 6am is an improvement!
9. Last night was my last shot! This cycle I had 42 belly shots and 32 hip shots. I am glad there isn't a need for shot #75. :-) I start the progesterone suppositories tonight instead.
10. My mom is coming up for a visit this weekend. We are looking forward to that!

Congratulations, I'm so happy for you both!!!
Great news! Keep growing jellybean!!
So glad to hear the great news about the heartbeat! I didn't know it was possible to hear it this early; I thought you could only see it but not hear it at this point. Praising God for your tiny baby. (S)he is a cutie even if (s)he doesn't look like a baby yet on the ultrasound photos. :)
Congratulations to you and Paul!!!! so happy that you even got to hear the heartbeat! What a treat!!!! I am also sooo happy that you followed your instinct and asked to put all the three embryos back in. I know you are sad that you lost two little ones (hugs to you!) but at least you were able to maximise your chances of conception in just one round. Best wishes!!!!
A billion congratulations and many hugs to you guys! I'm so thrilled for you!
Great news Ruth! can't wait to see your u/s pics in two weeks!!!
Tell Paul this one HAS to be raised a Giants fan... Nadia has entirely too many Steelers outfits, methinks mama is biased ;p
Thrilled to read your latest posts. I've been swamped with work lately, but try to check in occasionally.
God is so good!
