Due in July 2012

[peacelikeariv]

NP was really serious with us today. Since this is our first, there is no telling about the prob of mc. I have been wanting to keep the news under lock and key bc of crazy inlaws, but dh is dying to tell. I let him pick one friend. NO FAMILY. That worked well. He got it out of his system a bit.

 

[SLCMommy]

I told my entire family, in-laws, friends & facebook the same day I got a BFP I was really excited about the blessing!!

peacelike- Job 37:14. huh? Poor Job That guy went through a lot. lol!

 

[Tanzibar83]

Anyone feel like this. One day I feel like yep I'm preggers and the next I'm like wow I'm preggers? lol Crazy I mean after being sick all night lastnight with morning/night sickness you would think that would be enough lol.

I had 3 test say (- -) two lines lol I think it feels more real once you see it on the us.

mojojojo563 - I'm like that too. One minute I'll be thinking "OMG I'm having a baby" next thing though I'm peeing on a stick going "waste of time doing that because I know I'm pregnant, whats for tea?" to hubby!

 

[Babykiser]

hi girls!!! just wanted to pop in to see how u all are doing? andy scan pics yet??? Cant wait to see pics of your little beans xxxxxx

going to see a fertility dr in 19 days! praying to get some much needed answers, hoping to get to see you all back here really soon!

 

[ktskittle]

Glad you got in with a DR. Let us know what they say! I pray for an easy fix for you.
SLC... You have me looking up Job now too. Lol. I haven't gone public, but I am pretty much like a leaky faucet.. We told our immediate family the day we found out... We want their support if anything happens either way. My best friend knows as does a couple coworkers.
One of my students brought funions for snack today and I was gagging for 20 minutes.. I finally made him put the trash from it in the hallway. I guess it has begun for me. At least that's a constant reminder that everything is still progressing!

Yep! He is some serious inspiration for me when I need a lesson in faith. Dh and I did a study on him last year and it has stuck with us both. God has a plan no matter how much it looks like rain.

 

[angieloo]

I'm still pretty scared to tell very many people. My mom, best friend and coffee ladies know, but I wanted a big to do when we did the announcement, hence the big thanksgiving dinner I made cards to put the US on- I'll post pics once we are finished with the US tomorrow.

I will say that through all the ups and downs of ttc the verse that stuck with me the most was proverbs 3:5-6- so true in life and when you're frustrated

 

[ktskittle]

The verse I have meditating on, so to speak, while ttc and through the mc and now with the pregnancy is Philippians 4:6-7.
I wish I had the patience to wait until the holiday to "come out." We will be telling dh's deaf grandma on thanksgiving, however. That should be interesting because she is SO animated.

 

[SLCMommy]

ktskittle - please don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure even thanksgiving is too soon to tell for you? if you feel like it's the right time, than I 100% support you But you just had a MC last month & had one in 2004. That breaks my heart. Perhaps you should wait until the 12th week when the chance of M/C is way less because of your history. I'd hate for you to get so excited only for the baby to go to Heaven so soon.

 

[ktskittle]

Both of my mc were chemical... AKA my period came as usual even though I had a positive pregnancy test. My hcg levels never got above the teens. This cycle I took Prometetrium and aspirin to prevent this from happening and it did... Last month I had full genetic and karyotype testing, insulin levels, Thyroid, clotting issues, etc.... a FULL fertility workup. They found that I have no fertility issues aside from low progesterone initially, which I am treated for, so I actually am in better shape then most because I know that I don't have the wide array of other issues that could cause miscarriages. Additionally, if I were to have a miscarriage, I am not one of those people who would keep it a secret. I found that I needed moral support from my friends and family to help me get through it. Furthermore, my Dr. said based on my extremely high hcg levels, the likelihood that this pregnancy isn't viable due to a random chromosomal abnormality is very slim because there have been several studies that have associated high HCG levels with reduced MC risk. Thanks though.

 

[ktskittle]

Plus, I am only telling deaf grandma over thanksgiving. (Immediate family and best friend already knows.) I am not going PUBLIC, (Facebook, all coworkers, etc), until around Christmas I think. I have a second ultrasound December 13 which will be 9 or so weeks for me, so I would feel more comfortable doing it after that. The Dr. says that if they are able to find a heartbeat at 6 weeks than the miscarriage risk is 3%, so we shall see.

 

[angieloo]

Skittle: have you decided how you will tell facebook, friends, etc? I have a friend that did it by posting a picture of her DH and her holding the US photo- super cute.
With the testing you've had done you are def in better shape than most

US for me in less than two hours So excited to see our bean!

 

[SLCMommy]

ktkittle - if your counter is right, you will be in your 8th week at your appointment I am exactly one week ahead of you & I have a doctors appointment on Dec 15th, which I will be in my 9th week. Is your mom super excited about this pregnancy?

 

[ktskittle]

Yeah, my mom is excited. I think my dh's mom is more excited though since it is her first grandchild. My sister had a couple mc's before she had my nephew (she was able to have kids once she was on aspirin and progesteron), so I have kept she and my mom in the loop this whole time because the dr's make you wait until 2 before they will test you and put you on meds so it was a rough patch with the waiting.. I hate that they make you suffer twice before they do anything about it when it is preventable in many instances... Especially with a family history like mine...

 

[Viking15]

Skittle, I totally agree. Heartbreaking to lose a bean and feel so hopeless because no one wants to help.

Were going to tell the family on Thanksgiving too Im leaving everything in gods hands what is meant to be will be!

 

[Tanzibar83]

My parents and sister know as well as hubbys mum and step dad. We've decided to tell everyone else (meaning family and friends) on xmas day and work the first day back in January. Thats if our calculations are correct though!

Finally went to see my doc yesterday, I had to give a urine sample and they'll let me know the results on Tuesday and will get me sorted with a midwife. I've told them about the holiday so looks like I won't be seeing her til early december

 

[mojojojo563]

Just feeling so thankful today! Glad that my little bean is growing each day all these cravings lol boy my hubby is happy boy oh boy the dinners i've been cooking lol!!!! For some reason I feel like this one is a girl. I guessed with my son and my gut was right. This time my hubby wants to wait until the baby is born to find out and I'm ok with that but, I think my gut is right guess we will find out in July. Anyone else getting any feelings like this??

I'm happy! I have been a little forgetful but, I have baby on my brain lol

 

[SLCMommy]

Hey Everyone! I have my ultrasound tomorrow at noon....super excited

 

[Tanzibar83]

Good luck SLC - Hope it all goes well. Mine is 10:40am today, I'm mega bricking it!!!!
