Quickie

My husband gave me flowers for exactly the second time in our relationship. And I can't stop staring at them, even though they give me butterflies in my stomach. I'm that sappy and in love.

But the big news is... we have our first IVF appointment. December 6th. St. Nicholas Day. I don't think we'll be able to start any treatments before January or February because we'll be visiting my parents from mid-December to New Year's Day. But we're moving forward, and I have to be happy with that for now.

Two are here

Two of the many expected babies have arrived.

One was a week early because a hemorrhage sent blood into the mom's spinal column, paralyzing her. They did a caesarean without anesthesia and then rushed her into surgery. Mom and baby are both home, baby is fine and Mom will make a full recovery but has to do a lot of rehab. (The condition that caused this was pre-existing but not detected and not pregnancy-related. I don't want to scare any expectant moms out there.)

The other was induced about a month early because the baby was stressed. I haven't heard how they are doing, so I'm going with "no news is good news".

I'm no where near finished with the first blanket and haven't started the second. I thought I had more time!
