28 weeks.
OMG - the third trimester is officially here. I'm in my LAST trimester, the home stretch. OMG.
the nausea IS back... but not nearly as bad as the first trimester... i just put a load of laundry in the washing machine awhile ago and almost puked in it :( sitting - i'm doing better...
other than that - things are good. I still have some contractions - but not too bad.
We started our prenatal classes this past sunday - it was great... the best part is that my dh is starting to feel MUCH more confident about the whole thing... he's even more confident about cloth diapers because the instructor cloth diapered her twins and a few couples (expecting one baby!) are also planning on cloth diapering... i guess it made it seem more normal to him instead of just "my craziness" :)
Me on the other hand: still terrified of giving birth. I wish i could skip that part all together!!
On the project front, i'm still only half done my diaper bag - i tried yesterday to finish it and before i even started I felt too nauseous and had to stop :( On the baby blanket front though - i'm almost done - should be done the second one by the end of the week!! unfortunately i MUCH prefer the second blanket... but i'll get over it - the first one is also VERY nice!!
My dh is putting in an offer on a mini-van today... i haven't even seen it!! (and that's ok!) He's also most likely going to close on the jetta we're selling today or maybe tomorrow... :)
My "big" shower is less than 2 weeks away... I have a dilemna because dh's aunt is hosting a small one 2 weeks after that - and she now wants to invite my friends... my sister invited my friends as well - and that's "the" shower... she's putting lots of time and effort into it... but the downside is that it's in my home town - so it's far... (an hour for me - an hour and a half for most of my friends) ANYWAYS - I think it's kind of rude to invite these people to TWO showers - cause obviously they'll skip my sister's shower... although i don't even expect them to come regardless. OH THERE'S JUST NO WINNING...
Yesterday - I swear i was bit by the bitch bug... I was doing ok... took a nap from 1-3 in the afternoon and woke up I was SO mad at nothing and everything... and COULDN'T stop crying for no reason... it was like i had the WORSE hormone surge of my life in that short span of time... I got better once my dh got home, thankfully... AND he made us a campfire in the evening... we sat under the stars with the fire and a few citronella candles for 2+ hrs - it was nice :)
28 weeks pregnant... nauseated and i have strong heartburn... and it's ALL WORTH IT :) :) :)

Wow, the home stretch! Congrats! Sorry the nausea persists though. It's worth it AND it sucks!
Hang in there!
I just found your blog. We have MFI too and are about to do IVF for the first time (also starting with the most aggressive treatment). I've really enjoyed reading your blog, and it's given me a lot of hope. I bless you that everything should be good and healthy from now on, and that you and your DH will continue to grow your family.
Everyone is scared of giving birth; it's normal. You'll do fine :).
28 weeks already. Sorry about the discomforts. You're almost there!
Hi there,
I found your blog thru Beagle's site, and have been enjoying it for about 15 minutes. I have to go to bed now though (my first meeting starts bright and early at 5AM tomorrow, and I am NOT a morning person!), but will definitely be back to read up more on your story. My husband has azoospermia, and I delved into the blog world earlier this month. Feel free to check it out at http://no-sperm.blogspot.com/.
Hang in there! Very excited for you that you have persevered thru your infertility challenges and are so close to the home stretch!
Heartburn and nausea? Wow, I have alot to look forward too!
I join you in being terrified of delivery, I'd like to do it in "wake me up when it's over" style.
