[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc]Greetings, all! 
We're on track - HB was 176 today with my "McDonnell Special" (vaginal ultrasound), measuring 6W4D which is EXACTLY where I am (1 Feb egg retrieval).  
I expect to be released by the RE today, and made a preemptive appointment at GW just since they usually have a wait - I'm seeing Dr Metz since she was highly recommended here.

Researching day care is depressing - $2000 for bright horizons!  That's a no on our end.  Our jobs don't have any day care sponsorships, and even with my DH in the military (reserves), the bases are very inconvenient for getting to work.  Hopefully a nanny share will work and be a little cheaper, or at least more flexibile.  But MAN how do people pay for this stuff?!?![/quote]

YEAAAAH! That's me, Pumpkin, giving you an official congratulatory holler!! So happy for you. I mean, not happy about the outrageous costs of childcare, that part stinks. My colleagues all do nanny shares. I'm not sure how it works out for costs, but if you're paying an arm and a leg, at least you should get flexibility.

"McDonnell Special?!?!?" STOP! Is that really what they call it???? I have never heard that before but now I'm glad I have because it sure is "special." I had one last time, several actually since for whatever reason they do that at the 20 week scan as well, to measure your cervix, which I was not happy about because I really hate that thing. The other thing is my OB is one of those who like to go into detail about what he's doing, and before that scan (he does them at his office) he was waving that thing around like a banana while talking about what he was going to do with it, which may have been the most awkward thing* that ever happened to me. *Yes, even more awkward than that other thing that happens to women while in the pushing stage, that nobody likes to talk about...[/quote]
