Anyway, I just texted DH and told him that I figured it out. I'm not mad about it, in fact I think it's hilarious. It's kind of cool to think that our daughter's name (if we have a daughter) came from something that my DH is very fond of. It doesn't matter that she was a villain! Haha!

One other thing that kinda bothers me is that I told a few of my friends that I thought my baby was a boy. Well it wasn't really a preference, it was just that I really just thought it was a boy. I thought my daughter was a boy too! Of course I'd love to have a boy someday, but now I feel like people think I'm not excited about having a girl! Which I totally am beyond excited!! So if I have another baby I'm keeping my mouth shut one way or the other! My DH's ex girlfriend (who we are somewhat friends) just found out she's having a boy and they seemed hesitant to tell me it was a boy. It doesn't bother me at all and I hate that people think it does!! If that makes sense.

Hope you ladies are doing great!!View Thread

Let me explain a bit. I feel like I am in quarantine at my job. I am in a little room all alone for 8 hours opening doors. It is hard to get someone to relieve me to go to the bathroom even, but I know who I can go to. So, a friend relieved me with 15 minutes left in the shift. I came back in and he was going thru my snacks and was talking to me for all of 30 seconds. My supervisor calls in there and starts chewing me out about him being in there and hiding out and how she is gonna say something in briefing and she now dictates who is allowed in there. So basically she is cutting off everyone who will relieve me and going with 1 or 2 of her "pets" that won't ever do it. All because someone spoke to me for 30 seconds. And it isn't like he was hiding anyways. HELLO! It is a jail! There are cameras everywhere!
Anyways, I got so mad and it was all I could do to not cry there and while I was walking out to my car. I just left and didn't even stay and talk to anyone. And all the way home I cried. I mean, basically people aren't allowed to talk to me. She has essentially quarantined me! I already hate that I can't be with my coworkers and sharing in the work....now I am being treated like a leapor and getting "dictated". I really wish I could leave there but now I have to wait. I guess I can stick it out, but I really hate crying!View Thread
I also HAVE to start rearranging my house! DH keeps telling me I have time, but I don't! Not with work and school. I have so much to do! I had resigned to not ever being able to hae kids so stuff went wherever. Now I have all this stuff all over! My mom is trying to move down here and she basically wants me to tell her how to get it all done. No time for that stuff....and the silliest part I am worried about is my DVR! It is so dang full and I am so behind on so many shows! I got behind because I will do homework, but since I have been so dang tired I just can't stay up and watch them!
I also have 4 little snsapdragon plants sitting on a windowsill in what is going to be the nursery because I haven't had time to plant them. I am worried they are gonna die! I guess all these silly things are better than major, real issues. I just wish some magical fairy would come and do them all for me!!!View Thread
They are doing construction and they were knocking down walls and cutting metal and all sorts. I wasn't happy because the concrete was coming close to the windows of my room. So when they realized that they covered the windows so they wouldn't get broken. Well, here I am...clostrophobic, in a dark room with the windows covered and all I can hear is stuff crashing around me, the whole room is shaking because they are busting connecting walls and all I can smell is the blow torch and melting metal! I freaked out big time. Then I had a headache the whole rest of the night.
Hopefully it won't be like that tomorrow. I don't think they should have had me in there but whatever! I survived!View Thread

Seeing the heartbeat made this so real for me. I'm still super nervous but I am trying to be optimistic since she said everything looks great. My next appt is on the 28th. I will have labs done and annother u/s I think. I know it is still super early, but we told our parents they could tell people. I just can't keep it in....I'm to excited!View Thread
Yesterday morning I took an hpt just to show it would be neg like the one I took the 25th. That way my doc would jump start me so I could do my last cycle. I was in shock when those 2 lines showed up! I knew I felt kinda weird, but nothing too unusual for me. I am around 6 weeks right now and I can't believe it! I go for an ultrasound on the 28th. Tomorrow I am going in so that my new doc (my old doesn't do babies anymore) can check my hcg levels. I am really nervous about that! I just am so excited and shocked!View Thread
Okay...so I obviously haven't been on in like, 6 months! The short: We are great! I thought my birth story got posted in the hospital but I can't find it and obviously you can't either!
Here is a quick birth story/update:
Samuel Collin Hall was born 8/20/12 at 7:57am via c-section, 7lb 7oz, 20 in long. My c-section was calm and quick. We checked in, got doped up and he was here! He has issues transitioning which almost led to the NICU but he ended up being okay and staying with me. Meeting him for the first time was magical! It was 3 hours since his birth and I barely saw him for a minute. His issue was he wouldn't really cry and he hasn't really since. He is just not a cryer! I was so in love!
Today: He is a little munchkin who loves to eat, sit up and sleep! He is a great sleeper and has been since 5 weeks! We are enjoying him so much.
Sorry to worry you! I popped back on today to see some updates and gear my self up for our next cycle. We have an appointment set up for May and will probably be doing another cycle in July/August. Eeeek!View Thread
Take the Poll
The TTC 12+ and PAIF boards were such a great support to me during my first pregnancy but I noticed they aren't very active anymore. If you have a FB account I'm going to set up a temp email account where you can give me your first and last name off the web and be added to our TTC 12+, PAIF and PAIF grad private FB group. I think it will be more active over there. As long as you are ok with being lumped together of course. I'll post the email addy as soon as I set it up. Be right back

Just checking back in here with one last update. Jenna is 18 days old today and still doing great. We had our two-week pediatrician appointment last Friday, and she had gained 12 ounces since we left the hospital. She is already growing into a cute, chubby baby
I stare at her constantly and sometimes just staring at her makes me cry.Thanks to everyone here for all the support along the way. It was such a long journey to get here -- from starting trying in April 2008, trying naturally for a year and a half, failing IVF's in December 2009 and March 2010, miscarriage after IVF in October 2010, failing another IVF in June 2011, and failing our final FET in October 2011....then moving on to a donor, and finally succeeding with our 5th dIUI in March 2012. And now, finally, holding baby Jenna in my arms

Our struggle will always be with me (once an infertile, always one), but it's wonderful to finally close that chapter of our lives and move forward with our baby girl. I wish the same for all of you, and everyone else still working to get to this board.
