December 5, 2007.
We had our first appointment with the OB/GYN yesterday. Everything was pretty much routine, and just to get to know her, and for her to get to know us.
The OB/GYN was also reluctant to write off Baby B at this point. As for Baby A, she felt confident that we were in a very good spot. According to her, once the baby gets as developed as Baby A is, there is about a 98% chance of a successful pregnancy. That was comforting (please see my last post for more insight).
With regards to air travel, the OB/GYN was not ready to give us the green light yet. Since Baby B was as far behind as he/she was on the last ultrasound, she wanted us to wait until we knew more about how the development of both fetuses was going. So, we have to wait until after our ultrasound next Friday, before we plan our Christmas vacation. L's family is about 950 miles away, and we're not driving that twice in one year :).
L's feeling pretty good. She's been having some cramping on her left side, and the OB/GYN nurse seems to think that this could have something to do with Baby C's gestational sack dissolving, or Baby B miscarrying. So far, there has been no bleeding or spotting, which could indicate a miscarriage. It's almost like we're waiting for it every day, but still hoping that it won't happen.
L got great news yesterday. We may not have to do the progesterone in oil shots for more than 10 weeks into the pregnancy. That's 3 weeks shorter than she had expected!!! Yippi! Even though we have become fairly proficient in doing these shots, they're still painful. And we have to make sure we adjust our schedules so that we are home by the time the "shot of the day" is due.

YIPPIE! Great news from the ob/gyn! Congrats on a sucessful 1st appt...and may you have many more successes in the coming months!
I'm glad to hear she isn't giving up on Baby B...your next U/S will give you all a better idea of how that little bean is doing!
Sorry to hear you've got to postpone making your travel arrangements...that's not easy this time of year, but it's definitely for good reason.
glad you're feeling positive again. Great news about baby A. I was told the same thing-once you see the heartbeat you have a great chance of a successful pregnancy. It's really reassuring. We'll keep our fingers and toes crossed for baby B. My friend who came back from the US after receiving an egg donation there 2 weeks ago has also just had a positive pregnancy test. So great news all around!!!!!!
