jessicaftl- I'm sorry you have a cold and can't sleep. I have a cold too and I feel you how it's hard when you're so exhausted but can't sleep!
ssMomma-What a great reaction when you told your family! I wish I could tell people, but I'm not quite ready yet.
bdb84- good scan and great heartbeat! I can't wait until I see a heartbeat. I am so anxious about it.
Mrsduck-Ive been feeling a bit bloated, but nothing too bad so far. It sounds like you will be in maternity clothes pretty soon.
markswife- Sorry about your nausea, but I'm glad it is reassuring. I have no nausea but I wish I did so I would feel pregnant.
Sushsi- I'm sorry about your sore hips. I used a body pillow last pregnancy. I need to dig that out again. My back is what bothers me when I'm pregnant further along, but sleeping with a pillow helps.
SteffyRae-being nauseous is horrible. I have had IBS dince I was small and, strangely enough, it gets better when I'm pregnant, but all the rest of the time I definitely understand how much being sick is horrible.
Breeelizabeth-how exciting for your first scan soon. I can't wait for mine.
AFM- As I've said before, last year my identical twin sister died very suddenly. We were very close and she lived with us the last few years after a bad divorce. Her death was very hard on me (I'm actually extremely excited I got pregnant because my cycles were all over the place after she died because of stress).My life will never be the same, but it has changed a few things for the better. I've been doing more things I've always wanted to do, because there might not be a "later".
Our only other sibling, my brother, is getting married in a few days at Scarborough Fair and, with the feeling of "I've always wanted to do it" and even though it was expensive and we are always watching money, I decided to scrimp around more and I ordered a custom made dress from Scotland, made to fit me with all my measurements and everything. I got it a few weeks ago and tried it on and it was beautiful! Perfect! It fit like a glove! Today I'm packing everything because we're leaving soon and I tried it on again. It doesn't fit anymore. 😞
It fits everywhere, except the bust now (guess my boobs have gotten bigger without me really noticing) and there is no way to fix it in time. Im a larger girl and it's really hard to find a dress that looks good so I can't get another one. I have other Renaissance dresses, but they are all peasant dresses and bodices. The custom dress is made of crushed velvet and satin and other beautiful material! I'm sad but at least that hopefully means that the little bean is doing ok because obviously SOMETHING is making my boobs bigger, haha.
I also need to come up with an excuse for not drinking because a few months ago I told them how neat it was they will have different kinds of beer and stuff because their wedding is on a special Ale tasting day. They know I don't normally go to the doctor unless I'm really sick (or pregnant, haha) so I don't think they will believe the "antibiotic" excuse. I definitely don't want them to find out that day and steal it from my future sister in-law! I would feel awful! That's her day!
Sorry so long! Hopefully everyone is having as good of a time as they can with so many being sick and I'm looking forward to seeing more scans!
Im certainly not jealous of your sickness, but like you say at least its reassuring 
)
I hope it goes away!
. I hope your boobs being bigger is a positive sign as well!
Hope it all works out well!
for finding the baby's hb! Where did you find it located at?
