Hi guys! Hope everyone is feeling well and your beans are growing nice and healthy!
I wanted to give an update on my weird discharge situation from last week...My blood test from Friday came back. They tested HcG, not progesterone like they said
, but my numbers were 79,400 and I was 7 1/2 - 8 weeks on the day of the draw. Nurse said they are very good numbers, but Dr wants me to go for a detailed ultrasound prior to my scheduled appointment on Friday. I asked why if everything seemed okay and she said its because I had some spotting (it wasn't, it was a vaginal discharge) and due to my prior mc. And this way they can measure heartbeat, size, etc.
Is there any reason they may actually be concerned, not just wanting more information? She said they want to make sure things continue to go well. I guess I'm just reading into it, but they never mentioned possibly sending me out for an ultrasound so I guess I'm confused why they decided to all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, I've been very tired. Nausea not so bad today, boobs more sore last night than they have been recently. And I finally went to the bathroom after I think 3 days so that feels pretty fantastic

Seriously though, I can relate and know how much of a relief that must be 
I was a part of the August rainbows thread but I think Im the only one of the only ones left there 
Kind of depressing 
I'm due one day earlier at August 17th. Heartbeat was 178 which was great. Here's a couple pics of my little squishy peanut.
)! AFM, nausea has gotten SOO much better the past few days. Still taking just a fourth of a zofran in the morning to make sure I get through the days, but I can eat and I don't have to spend all evening hiding out in bed and crying because I feel so yucky, yay! Still super sleepy all the time, especially during work of course 
, but my appetite is back somewhat and a wider variety of foods is starting to sound appealing (including, thankfully, some fruits and veggies at last). I don't know if this is just a temporary reprieve from the morning sickness or if I just had the condensed version, but I am trying to enjoy it and hoping little bean is still doing well in there. 
Finally had a crisis on Sunday when I hadn't gone in 5 days and made DH run out for some Colace (thanks for the tip, Sass!). It was a very unenjoyable experience, but I was finally able to go (and embarrassingly clogged one of the toilets in the process 
, so DH's next trip out was for a better plunger). Oh, the indignities. I am hoping now that I feel better and can move around a bit and eat more variety it will improve things, but I'm also thinking of taking a Colace every 2-3 days just to keep everything moving in there. 
) and it's just great to finally get it out!
