Tori - my fingers are crossed for good news at your scan!

Sorry to anyone else I missed!

 

[TexMel]

Oh, Buffy! I totally get all of those things! I want to keep going, too! I am just saying you are like Wonder Woman to me right now! Keep up the good work! I'll be back in there soon!

Hahaha! Im glad I am to someone

PS your ticker is making me want m&ms baaaaaad.

Unique- I am so sorry, people who hurt animals are the worst kind of people. I hope that your neighbor confesses and you might be able to get some sort of closure.

Amee- I'm sending all of my hugs your way!

AFM I had my first scan this morning and it was so much more emotional than I expected. DH and I had horrible anxiety prior to the appointment and then we both were crying when we saw the baby on the monitor. I was even able to hear the heartbeat which I didn't know was possible so early.

My doctor offered to do another scan in the next two weeks if I wanted just to see progression. She said she offers that to all of her patients as that is something that she would want so I am so grateful to her that I get to go back next week to see the baby again. Hopefully my anxiety prior to the appointment won't be quite as bad as it was today. The pregnancy seems so much more real now that I've seen that there is in fact a baby growing inside me. So surreal

 

[Alligator]

Aw jwc that is so wonderful! I can absolutely understand feeling anxious and crying. That will be me! I'm so glad you got to hear/see baby. YAY!

 

[Buffyx]

Woohoo JCW! Amazing news

 

[Heather.1987]

Wonderful news jwc!! I have my apt this Friday and im so nervous too! Seeing a healthy baby with a heartbeat is so relieving to see! Congrats!

Math - I'm sorry to hear that your sickness is so bad already. I had to bend and take a Diclegis tablet last night because I was so queasy so I completely feel you there. It sucks. The first trimester is the worst.

Buffy - Funny that you say that because the morning isn't my worst time either. Mine is more after I eat - and I too have been succumbing to a lot of TV dinners - so that by afternoon, when bloating kicks in, I feel absolutely miserable. I have the complete opposite of morning sickness.

ameeann - I'm so truly sorry to hear this and offer you all the hugs in the world

Tori - Good luck!

JWC - How sweet! It is lovely to hear that beautiful heartbeat, isn't it?

 

[lilmisscaviar]

My appointment is tomorrow Really hoping for a scan date. I think I'm too early to see a heartbeat yet so they'll probably have me come back in a week or two. I'm nervous even though I've done this so many times before. Today my BBs are sooooo sore. I've also been having cramping and a back ache. I'm also already bloated and I still have yet to eat dinner...

 

[Four2Five]

Amee my heart is broken for you praying for things to move along quickly and you are able to heal, I am truly so sorry

JWC congrats on your ultrasound, I have horrible emotional anxiety leading up to mine too, Thursday can't get here quick enough!

Today has progressed to some pretty awful nausea, I'm hungry but nothing sounds good.

 

[Heather.1987]

Lil, you should see a heartbeat! I saw hadleighs heartbeat at 5w6d and i plan to see this babys at 6w this friday!

I actually measured 6w1d at the appt so if that is where you are too then hopefully you will be able to see that heartbeat!

 

[BabyBrain80]

Ameeann, Im so sorry, I don't know what else to say except I hope everything goes as well as it can, that you are ok and Im thinking of you

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Thanks, Heather and JWC! I really hope you're right I would love to see that flickering bean and know everything is ok xx

I sent my blood sample in today to find out the gender! We should know by Thursday or Friday. We got a Black Friday special for only $59! On sneak peek! So exciting.
I’m 9+1 today. I need to update my tickers.

Awesome! Im waiting until after my 12w scan to make sure all is well before finding out gender.

I cant wait to hear your news!!

I've seen that kit before- can't wait to hear how it goes and if it is accurate!

 

[eppgirl]

I’ve got my first ultrasound tomorrow! Then I’ll have another at 12 weeks (dec 19th) and then my last at 18-20 weeks. That is assuming it’s only one baby in there. I’m hoping one baby and that it’s a girl!

 

[BabyBrain80]

Just spoke to epas and booked my scan for 8 weeks, 12th Dec, very excited! I've got the midwife tomorrow but have to say I'm quite nervous. Still not told our parents yet, trying to wait for the scan!

Lilmiss hope you get a scan and your appointment goes well!

Trying to read back there to see if anyone else has an appointment today, good luck if I missed anyone x

Just catching up.

Unique - I cannot even think about a human doing that to your poor cat! What an awful person! Was it the dad or the son? I truly hope they are charged. I lost a dog unexpectedly to cancer a few years ago and I went through a very dark time for about a year. She was truly my first baby. Just know we are here for you if you need to talk more about your beloved cat. I am so so sorry.

Ameeann - I am sorry for you, as well. Again, please know we are here if you need to talk it out/vent/whatever. Hug your boys tight.

Buffy - I don't know how you are still making it to the gym! I would normally be there right now, after my short day of work, and while my kid is still with his grandparents, but no. I chose this time to come home and eat my lunch and relax in a kid-free house for a couple of hours!

My nausea hasn't exactly gone away. Most food makes me want to gag thinking about it, but I have certainly felt much better the last 3 days or so. I have definitely been eating more carb-heavy foods and feel like my belly already is looking like I'm 5-6 months pregnant, instead of 8 weeks!!! Hoping some of it is just temporary bloat. Though, I know you do show much quicker the second time around. Ok, off to nap until my parents call.

Thank you. It was the son who did it to him. He was taken away in an ambulance yesterday morning. Probably did something to himself out of guilt (he’s known to be suicidal)
