This is very exciting news!!!! I'm thrilled that you had a wonderful ultrasound. That's so very exciting that you got to lay eyes on your son
By the way have you tried eating crackers before bedtime so that your stomach isn't completly empty in the mornings? Or perphaps, have them right there in the morning on your night table to eat before you get up. Sometimes the nausea can come from the stomach acid when it's empty. Good luck mommy!!
I can't wait to update you all with a picture of baby Kristina when she will make her appearance into the world.
Take care,
Roberta
@Robin- My baby brother's name is Luke so I'm partial to that but I love "Luka," too, since it would tie in to the donor's heritage
@Roberta- I'm very much looking forward to seeing a photo of baby Kristina after her arrival and hope everything goes well with delivery!
Congratulations!
Janet
Here is a link to baby Maksim's first website courtesy of 365, the hospital photography place. saves me the trouble of figuring out how to upload one of my pics, just don't have the patience or energy for that right now!

We are trying with #2754. Failed 1st IUI, ready for the 2nd try with help from Clomid.

Thanks for your post. I am getting used to the sleep and actually 3 hours at a time is heavenly! I had to wake him about every 2 at first to feed him then pump then feed him with a syringe. Thank goodness i don't have to do that anymore! He is latching on really well now and on friday weighed 8 lbs 6 oz. He passed his birth weight and then some the doc gave me a thumbs up and said good job mommy! I will say if it was not for my sister and my mom, bottle feeding would have been started a long time ago. I know what you mean about feeling like the energy is draining from you with each suck.... He starts to feed and my eyes start to close....... after he is done, my eyes start to open again. Cant wait to get the updates from 365.
Debra,
2754 had great numbers each time I used him... he worked the second time. I did a back to back iui on gonal-f. The first time I did not do a back to back and just felt like the timing was off. I tried for 8 months but only 4 iui's and it was the fourthy that worked, 2nd with 2754. good luck. When you get pregnant let me know I would be interested in communicating with any half sibs of Maksim!
To all you ladies, thanks for the well wishes and I can't wait to see the pics of all your adorable babies!

im glad you are keeping the pics coming! little maksim is so handsome! and those blue eyes of his are just gorgeous.
im so happy for you and glad that the neck situation on Maksim has been resolved.
So I promised a mohawk pic and I have one with him and my oldest neice. The next pic is Maks at his first gymnastics competition. We wnet to Geneva over the weekend, stayed in a hotel and was at the competition ALL day. Only had one melt down and had to be swaddled briefly but there was sooo much stimulation and it was a long day for mommy. He didn't want to sleep for longer than 45 minutes. But he did great and today was really good while mommy had her yearly exam...... not ideal but you do what you got to do!
Next week he goes for his second set of shots.... poor guy, poor mommy!
Hope everyone is doing well!
baby dust!

Charlotte, how are you and your little one doing?
