Welcome Leah! Girls who had ultrasounds, will update the front page now.
I had a major freakout this morning because my daughter dumped an entire container of Resolve stain remover powder into her bedroom carpet and my 6 year old thought it would be appropriate to tear apart a snotty rag and toss that round his bedroom.
Someone told me the other day that her OB told her that higher levels of progesterone can do that, either make women depressed, or prone to be irritable, or not effect them at all. It's interesting, but it makes sense. I have no patience in pregnancy lol.
I had my last betas drawn yesterday and I guess the doctor's office is so sick of me calling after 24 hours that they said not to call til Wednesday. Once those are in, they're going to book me for an ultrasound for next week or the week after, and then set up my IPS Screening. I mostly do it for the early ultrasound, lol.
jess - My best friend and I went through our pregnancies together too. We were due just 4 days apart but she ended up having her daughter 5 weeks early. It was interesting and fun, to say the least. Standing in her front hallway having gag reflex parties and seeing how long it would take the other to vomit when the first one vomited, lol...watching our bellies grow. Her daughter just turned 1 this weekend, and my son will be 1 on July 22.
Speaking of her daughter...scary moment. She's not one to message me in the middle of the night and not one who likes hospitals, but she messaged me saying her daughter's temperature was 95.5. It was with an ear thermometer, but she had her wrapped up in blankets she her temperature kept falling. She called the provincial health line, who said to take it three times in a row, and at one point, the highest she could get was 95.9. She was coming off a few days of a high fever, diarrhea and vomiting after her older sister accidentally made her formula with tap water from an RV resort instead of the bottled water. She was diagnosed with a bacterial infection as a result earlier in the day. The health line said to try a different thermometer so I woke my kids up to drive to her house with mine, and mine temped her a 93.6!!!
I've never seen her panic like that before. Her doctor had told her low body temperature was a sign of sepsis. When they got to the hospital though, her body temperature had come back up to 98.1 and she was sent home, so hopefully it was just her fever trying to break and broke a little too far. Haven't heard yet this morning how she's doing.

and it was really sad. The bit that is extra sad is we have a third BFF, and all three of us have stuck together since we were 13/14 and we are 28 now, and our third BFF has been trying for four years 
I was craving vegetables and teriyaki chicken last night and he looked at me and I just blurted it out.... 
!!!!!! EDD based on LMP is February 24! Yay!
) and manage to dig out some left over internet cheapies. I go ahead and anxiously wait for 5 mins.... aaaaand there miiiiight be something there. Maybe... if you look at it at a certain angle... I go back and start bouncing on the bed, waking up my hubbie (who has had to console me as a crying mess in previous false hope occasions) and he's a bit more restrained, but supportive. Like "I don't see anything honey, but we can check again tomorrow". Completely rational, of course.
. Oh, and I had a very brief bout of dizziness at the super-market yesterday, but it was hot and I do have a long history of postural hypotension, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for me. But otherwise, I don't actually feel different? *anxious*
once per week for the past two weeks when we used to be those every day or at least every other day kind of couples. Then guilt turned into anger because... well, screw him. I'm tired and morning sickness finally settled in yesterday and I'm hormonal. I'd like to see him try to deal with it. So what if he has to do the dishes more than he used to or pick up around the house some. I'm the one who feels like crap at least 80% of the time. Plus I work full time. I told him, he only has to deal with this for 5 more weeks and then I'll be more normal (if it's anything like my first pregnancy) but until then he just needs to deal with it. I hate men sometimes. Such babies. Ugh, I wonder if I could get away with taking a nap at my desk today.
(well hopefully ha)
And as for DTD we haven't since we found out!! So unusual. But when I'm in bed same time as the kids it's not easy to get done 
feeling alot more positive this week have the sickness feeling all day but feeling better in my self and happier
