I am doing preseed with a big bsf about an hour before. I was thinking ew, but now I just think it's a hassle, and as Begonia reminded me, i didn't have much luck with them last year.

Just popping in quick to say I had another appt and u/s today. Things look great, I have a fully formed fetus with a strorng heartbeat. She did say that my placenta was high on the left. I've decided I'm not going to care about that, I will not get myself worked up over a theory. Anyway I have another appt next week(13wks) and then again 3 weeks after that (16wks). Hopefully by then I'll be more relaxed and confident.

Oh and I did get pics but no nub shots so nothing to obsess over

YAY 3pnb! SO glad to hear all is well! And I agree, disregard the placenta theory.....no need to get all worked up about it.

the Dr. said everything looked fine. The in office U/S showed 1 sac & my HCG levels from today came back and this was the email: "The HCG went from 340 about 6 days ago to 5259 today. This rise is consistent with a normal pregnancy for now."

That's great news iluv!
I'm praying with you for H&H 9 months with healthy as a result!

[Zivic-Bubac]

Yaaayyy for excellent u/s, I'm so happy for you!

Oh and I did get pics but no nub shots so nothing to obsess over

Oh $h*t, I was hoping for some! Insist on nub shots on your next u/s appointment

Thanks, L.....DH and I are contemplating doing it tonight and again tomorrow night and just not worrying about timing but more important to catch the egg and get pg. I just spend 30 minutes scouring FF "pg with boy" charts, and I will say that about 75% of them are dtd every day, another 20% every other day, and only 5% with abstinence for 3 days.

Timing plan looks excellent! I would BD tonight and maybe tomorrow during the day, just to make sure you are not missing the egg?
That is very interesting with boy FF charts and BDing every day...hmmm... too bad my DH can't perform every day ( or should I put crying smilie instead lol! Maybe that is showing that boy's dads are mean machines lol! full of testosterone and more likely to create a boy?

You guys will get a kick out of this too: he is creating his own multimedia dance piece, something that won't be done till April, but he's composing the music and using stop-animation video in the background, and there will be dancers also, of course.....but he just told me what it's about, and it is the story of ttc, of creation with the theme of a tree and seeds. He said our journey is the ispiration for it. The show will debut at a huge film festival here in April, so maybe I will have a baby in my arms by that time. LOL But isn't that sweet? I will have to post it for everyone on YouTube then.

Lola, this is so cool!!!!!! I can't wait to see it on YouTube!!!!!

My DD1 is a little dancer, she is attending *sort of* modern dance classes but I'm leaning toward classical ballet, Idk what to do... Should she continue her classes she LOVES ( but it is more for fun then real dance9 or should I sign her in proper ballet school?

She is very energetic, not subtle at all, would classic ballet be a mistake? Dang, why you live across the ocean, i would love to hear your judgement about her possible tallent (or lack of it lol!) As I understood it, you too are in ballet 'bussiness'?

Yes, I run the ballet company on the biz side. There is an Artistic Director who does all of the ballet stuff, although I do have a lot of input into productions and casting. I've got a staff of 8 and a company of 36 dancers! We tour a good bit too, just around the US though. I would say this about ballet for both little girls AND boys: classical ballet classes are excellent for several reasons aside from the obvious of it being a fun group activity, meeting new friends, and being good exercise. Children learn an acute awareness of the body, and learn to take pride in doing things "precisely" if that makes sense. They learn about music and it helps the brain learns beats and rythym, which in turn creates connections that help with math and science....I am serious! It is a very goal-oriented art form. The other wonderful thing is that it teaches them a tremendous amount of discipline, even at a young age. Classical ballet comes from the "old world" where it was royalty who took classes, and therefore it has a certain demeanor to it, even to this day....where things are done "properly." So, it's like an etiquette class as well, where they learn to be on time, be respectful to others, listen with great care to the teacher, learn to appreciate the music and their bodies for what beauty they can make. Obviously, I can't say enough about it. My oldest daughter is freakishly good at it (to the point where she may need to go to New York someday SOON....they ship off at 12 years old if they are the cream of the crop! I don't know if I can handle that, though....), but both of them absolutely love it and I can see how mature it has made them in so many ways to have ballet a part of their lives since they were 2.
