Hey all...
Just wanted to let you know I delivered a healthy baby boy on Sept 27 at 9 27 pm. I had an emergency C Section and he was born about 7 weeks early. He is in the NICU but doing great for the most part. He weighs about 1550 grams (about 3 lbs and 6 ounces). Thanks for all the great support from my friends on the board. I will keep you up to date about his progress.
Good luck to my friends that are pregnant and the ones trying to get pregnant. You are all in my thoughts.

He is doing well.
metsfan good luck on the acupuncture. I love it and still continue to go. My acupuncturist is wicked awesome.
Austingurl... You will be there soon. How are you feeling? If they think the twins are coming early have them give you a tour of the NICU. I wish I had, would have eased my issues. But I looked at it this way Hunter is in the best possible care that I can imagine.
He is breast feeding, taking a bottle, sleeping for many hours at a time and is doing well for the most part. Set backs here and there but nothing major.
I am feeling okay...just so tired. No matter how much I sleep, I am still exhausted. I had my appointment with the specialist today. It went well. Both babies are growing and are on target. One is a little smaller than the other, but my dr is not worried and said that is common. My sonographer said she "thinks" baby A is a boy. I about had a heart attack because my OB swears Baby A is a girl. Then she pointed out that since they are different offices, they might have the babies labeled different, so it might be a boy/girl set. She was not certain of the boy status though. And Baby B had it's legs closed, so who knows??? Apparently my babies are determined to drive me crazy before they ever arrive:) I see my OB Monday, and I think I am just going to camp out in his office until both babies are seen completely and I am confident of their sex. I don't want to wait an entire month again. I am way too impatient for that.
Did you find out what you are having yet? Just a couple of thoughts, do not go crazy in what you buy as of yet. I know you want to be prepared but you don't know when they are coming or the size. they may be big or small or they could be in the NICU if they come early. I did not buy anything till today (okay clothes for him a couple of weeks ago once they told me I could dress him). I am glad I did not buy anything else since I am buying all the stuff he used in the NICU since that is what he is use to. I will change the stuff slowly, going to be hard enough for him to adjust to the new environment so won't change everything yet. They want him to remain on what they use since it will keep him happy. I am hoping he can come home soon, no clue but still hoping.
Let me know how you are feeling.
I am most excited because we found out why I was so tired. My bloodwork showed a severe Vitamin D deficiency (I was at 16 and the normal range starts at 30) and slightly low on Vitamin B. I am now taking lots of D and B each day. It has made a huge difference in my energy level. I can make it through the day without a nap and no longer sleep 12 hours at night:) It has helped so much. I feel a ton better.
I want to thank everyone for their support over the last year and I will continue to lend my support to anyone who needs it. I know what Austin is going through and I feel for her. It is tough but it only makes us stronger.
