2015 MARCH-MALLOWS... Due in March 2015!! Come join us!

[dan-o]

Hi ladies!

I've known I'm pregnant for two weeks now, at first I took a wild guess at my dates and figured I'd be due end of February, so I joined one of the Feb groups, but after a little math (and some educated guesses) I should be due more around the 10th of March! I'm continuing to post in the February group but I thought I should probably join in with my own month, too!

This will be my first, OH and I are very, very excited! We have our first ultrasound booked for July 18th, four days after we're home from a trip to Vegas! We also live on a sailboat, so hopefully y'all will be interested in the challenges of adapting our boat for our little bump!

(Oh, and ignore the ticker, I just really wanted one!! I'm going to update it with the correct date after our ultrasound!!)

Congrats hun and welcome aboard! X (no pun intended )

I just haven't been in the mood at all. DH hasn't complained, I think he's probably a little freaked out by the idea.

Hubby is terrified to come near me and since I had that spotting I'm scared too....

When did you have spotting? I missed that!

 

[javajack]

Second morning in a row that I woke up with cramps and some spotting. Nothing that needs a pad... just pink on the toilet paper. I am so scared it is AF coming. I keep telling myself three positive tests and 3 days late.. still ....SO worried.

 

[madtowngirl]

Oh javajack, I am keeping my fingers crossed that your spotting stops soon!

 

[madtowngirl]

Loozle congrats on the 3+ how were they lucky charms?

Mamatex, I had leg cramps with ds2, I'd completely forgotten about them! Apparently bananas can help... If you can stomach them..

Coffee puffin, I'm feeling much the same, like someone's pulled the plug out of my energy reserves! Spaghetti for breakfast sounds pretty good to me

Madtowngirl, did you get your betas? So stressful, I've avoided them this time, totally did my head in last time!

Not yet, the lab tech told me to call if I haven't heard anything by 2 o'clock today. Otherwise I won't find out until Monday with the holiday!

 

[missfrick]

Ok, so Monday my hCG was 214, and yesterday (Wednesday, 2 days later) they were 558!!! I still think they might be low, but they have doubled in less than 48 hours, so I think that's ok?

Also, OB called and since I'm high risk I now get my first scan at 6 weeks!!!

 

[dan-o]

Perfect missfrick!! Roll on scan day!

Javajack hope it stops soon hun, nothing like a bit of spotting to put you on edge x

Madtowngirl, hope you get your results soon, I hate waiting for them so much!

At the park with the kids, then dropping them off at grandma's to head to my scan. 2 more hours!

 

[Loozle]

Good luck for your scan chelsealynn! And yours missfrick, you'll be 6 weeks in no time!
Javajack hopefully it's just your little bean getting settled in there.
Dan-o - the lucky charms were amazing! Completely full of crap of course and I probably shouldn't be eating them as they must have zero nutritional value but I figure that as long as the junk is in moderation, it's ok!
I hope you're feeling a bit better now coffeepuffin!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Javajack, I hope it's nothing. Don't they say 1/3 of women have some spotting in the first trimester with healthy pregnancies?

I can't believe someone in our group has an ultrasound already! I can't wait to see it! I'm tempted to make a little ticker counting down to my first appointment, but I think that's kind of ticker overload And I don't know if I'll get an ultrasound at that one anyway - I should have asked.

I still don't have the fatigue. I work from home, and DH has been doing a big overnight petsitting job, which always leads to bad sleep habits for me. I think I turned off the lights at 3am last night... Sigh... I was hoping pregnancy would get me on a normal human schedule. I'm getting the hang of how to space out my water during the day so I'm not waking up bursting with pee halfway through the night, at least.

Still no nausea, but I just have this feeling it's coming.

There was something else I wanted to say, but I totally forgot...

Thanks for all the replies everyone!

MrsKChicago - We have a forecabin that is generally just used for storage and for the occasional guest to sleep on. We'll have to make some changes this year, mainly adjusting the bed to make it suitable for a little one. It should be really cosy once it's done, though!


Laska - There's an RV park here at my marina and all the owners live there, it seems to be just as good as a community as down here on the docks, everyone looks out for one another. It can be a great, cheap lifestyle and yes, the small space is good when it comes to cleaning!

chimama - We live at the dock in a marina where we have shore power hooked up allowing us to live pretty normally (tv, internet etc), then we can untie and go travelling on the anchor!

It will be a week ago tomorrow - don't think you were on here then - bright pink blood on the Friday night but had gone by the Friday - very scary though

Captain - that's so cool.

I've been feeling very hot for the past 2 days even with the AC turned up so high. How do you guys deal with the heat? I've been drinking loads of iced water but doesn't seem to help. It's like my internal fan is blowing hot!

I'm fatigued as well which doesn't help. Because I'm so hot, I can't even grab a nap.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I've been running hot, but I'm enjoying it. For the first time in my life, I'm not freezing all the time! I've been mostly living in nightgowns. Just remember, it may suck now, but it'll be great in December.

 

[chelsealynnb]

Ultrasound is done! Saw the gestational sac and yolk sac Coming back Friday to measure heartbeat! Measuring 5 weeks 3 days, which is exactly what I am today!

 

[MrsKChicago]

So cool!!

 

[Jaysbaby25]

That's awesome, Chelsea !!! Can't wait for mine on Sunday!!!

 

[bucherwurm]

Exciting Chelsea!

I sent in an intake form for a midwife clinic today, and should hopefully receive one to fill out from a different one.

 

[missfrick]

chelsealynnb : I may or may not have started crying. Congrats it looks great!

 

[dan-o]

Fantastic news Chelsea!!!!
