Lisa - I will let Jen know that you're asking about her. I didn't talk to her much this week, but she's doing well. They haven't found out yet what the babies' genders are. She's due in June. I'll make sure that she pops in to give you an update.

Hi Lisa – thanks for checking up on me! I am doing great – other then being totally exhausted! I hit the wall around 8 weeks and I have been in a daze ever since! I come home from work, make dinner and fall asleep on the couch. DH loves it because he has the computer all to himself these days! I rarely post – but Rebecca (RAC) keeps me updated on everyone! I also don’t know where to post…there is still this huge part of me that cannot believe I am actually pregnant – so I avoid the preggo side. I still see some names I recognize on the infertility side and I try to read up on them often! Just don’t post! We did have a scare at our 1st trimester screening – turns out we were one of the lucky 5% that got a false positive. We were all worried about Down Syndrome due to my age (36) and ended up with a positive screening for trisomy 13/18. We were going to do an amnio – but decided against it. Our doctor pulled us in for a scan at 17 weeks (2/14 – DH’s b-day and v-day) and said that all looked well with the twins. They were able to rule out many of the markers for trisomy 13/18. Apparently there are gross anomalies with babies with these disorders (which are not compatible with life). Even though we got the “all looks good speech” – there is still this part of me that continues to worry! About what – I don’t know – I just blame it on the hormones. Deep down – in my heart – I just have this feeling that everything is fine – just get these irrational thoughts every once in a while! I do have to say – it was a HUGE relief though, to hear that all was good! We still have to go back for the big 2 hour scan on 3/6 (20 weeks) – but they didn’t want to make us wait that long.
We also found out we are having a boy and a girl. We are completely floored! We both would have bet money that we were having 2 girls! However, nothing made us feel as good as to hear that they both looked healthy! How are you? How are your girls? I saw their pictures and they are beautiful!

Oh Jen, I am so happy for you and Dave. I just love that you are having one of each. Keep us posted on how you feel. I know it is weird to not know where to post but we love to hear from you where ever you want to post.

thanks Lisa! I can't believe how big Mia is...she is going to be 1 soon, right? The picture of all 3 of your girls is beautiful! They are getting so big!!!
I'll update when I can...either on the infertility side or the preggo side. What is the thumbsdown on the top of my post? I swear I don't know what I am doing on this site anymore?

Think about you a lot Jen -- I usually keep tabs on you through Bec.
 I'm so happy for you. We'd love to hear from you more. You post where you are comfortable, kiddo. You are the ultimate 'big sister' in a lot of this to the old timers. Doesn't bother us in the IF thread to hear from 'one of our own' no matter the circumstances, or anybody else.  We had a whole conversation a few months ago about not being bothered by those tickers, and it made everyone feel a lot more supported and less hesitant to post in 'each other's' threads. I think we'd be satisfied to hear from you anywhere. {{{hugs}}} to you and little ones.The thumbs down thing -- you must have accidentally clicked it when you were making the post or something. There are a whole bunch of options when you are first making a post that aren't there when you go back in to edit it.

I'm posting a note that I got from Jen today. Please keep her and the twins in your thoughts and prayers...
Hey - Well, never a dull moment. Baby A's water broke yesterday afternoon. I am at the hospital getting antibiotics and on bed rest. I swear nothing is ever easy. I was completrely depressed yesterday...thank God for Dh. They were painting a pretty grim picture - but the last 2 doctors that have come in were much more positive. OK - I tried to text you this .a.m. but I kept using the wrong email address. We need tons of prayers. The babies are not viable right now - and really won't be until 28 weeks. They had someone counsel me on babies born at 24 weeks and really scared the cra* out of me. I haven't been "leaking" much today - hoping maybe the rupture sealed...if not we are suceptible to infection...

Jen-hang in there. I know a girl who was in a similar situation. She had to be on bedrest for a long time, but the baby ended up being born at 38 or 39 weeks and very healthy. I think she was on bedrest from 22 to 36 weeks. There is hope! I'll be praying for you and your family.
