Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / January 2005Good news, and more good news!
Today is so totally my day!! /bounce bounce bounce The u/s this morning showed two babies with two heartbeats. Each had grown well and both are right on track. Baby B is still slightly smaller than baby A, which would match exactly the fact that I ovulated on two consecutive days. The fertility doc has now officially dismissed me to the regular OB/GYN for high-risk pregnancies. I had to go there anyway because of my thyroid, but with twins it is also standard. Then I get to work, and have a message that I have been shortlisted for the job that is my first choice! This job would put me right at the best basis for a long-term astronomical career in my home country. That doesn't mean I will get it, but I know that I stand a good chance now. I would be the second woman to a staff of ~30 men, which gives me better than average chances. I also told them about my history of m/c's. A risky thing, but the application was written in the weeks after my last m/c, which is not a time when I am at my best, so I didn't feel I could do much harm. Wow, my karma has definitely made a change for the better. I am SO happy! I don't feel like I deserve it, IMO there are others who deserve it so much more, so I feel extremely honored and grateful that I have such luck today. And even more so that I can share it with you, who have been there for me through all the hard times.

FWIW I was offered my current job the day this baby was conceived. I had also told them about my history of miscarriages and about Seoras (I needed to to explain my sick record for one thing) so they were well aware I was TTC and they offered me it anyway. When I told my manager I was pregnant, the day I started, she was not at all surprised! Good luck on the job!

And even more so that I can share it with you, who have been there > for me through all the hard times. > PS I hope your nausea has stabilised a little. It hasn't gotten much worse, although each night I go to pee I feel like it is worse than the night before. During the day though I am keeping food down very well as long as I eat in regular intervals, and only eat things I crave. We have stocked up on buttermilk big time, that works best when I feel the nausea coming up. hCG showed another nice rise, and is over 76000 now, so I hope I have had the worst of it and the nausea will diminish once the hCG stabilizes. That would give me another 3-4 weeks with it, but I can live with that!

Signature-Barb, <www.jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 1-4-05 with Soup and Swiss Steak stories. "Are we going to measure or are we going to cook?" -Food writer Mimi Sheraton >> hCG > > What's that? Human chorionic gonadotropin, or in easier words: the pregnancy hormone. Basically, it's the stuff the baby makes to prevent your body from continuing its monthly cycle. It doubles every 3-4 days (faster in early pregnancy) and can make you feel horribly sick. Which is why many women suffer sickness in the first trimester, generally not limited to mornings.

JennP. > So that means you got pregnant twice then? That's pretty cool! Yes, that's typically what happens when you have fraternal twins ;-) Identical or maternal twins are from fertilization of a single egg which divides into two embryos. Non-identical twins arise from fertilization of two separate eggs. In my case the double ovulation was induced by Clomid, but in DH's family fraternal twins actually runs in the family.

That is SUCH a woman thing -- "I don't deserve this." Bullshit! Unless you're sleeping with the boss, these opportunities really don't come without good reason. Good looks go only so far. :-) Jesus said "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike" (Matthew 5:45), and Stara Baba says, "The sun shines on the just and the unjust alike: (II Episiotomy 3:4) "-) > so I feel extremely honored and grateful that I have such luck Well, stop THAT, too! Luck, my butt! I am a VERY strong believer that you make your own luck! What may seem difficult to some may come easily to you -- that fact does not negate the value of the skill you possess. I'll bet you fifty cents that someone with the right background could sit down and translate all the things that you attribute to luck into clear business language that business folks understand, even if it's something like "has an innate ability to quickly analyze the needs of a situation and determine appropriate action for a successful outcome."

I hear you! But I do know quite a few women who have been through so much more than I have, and I just wish I could share my luck with them.

Luck, my butt! I am a VERY strong believer that > you make your own luck! In some things I do too, but in other things I don't anymore. Or can't, rather. Having to deal with the m/c's I had to find a way to accept for myself that I cannot control everything in my life. The best I can do is find favourable circumstances, but from there, it's out of my hands. > "has an innate ability to quickly analyze the needs of a situation and > determine appropriate action for a successful outcome." Hehe! That would look very good in my letter of reference if I were to apply for another job or two ;-) I do have a very analytical mind, it's why I do science for a living. But even while (or maybe because) I am in a purely logical world all day, I don't believe we can control it all. It takes the fun out of it for me, I like surprises. In spite of everything, I still do.
