Pickle - love the new avatar pic! Your girls are getting so big

Pal - are you waiting to test until you're late or will you test earlier?

Cobyn - how are you feeling?

Jessie- baby will be here before you know it! Have you guys narrowed down names yet or are you waiting until you see little bubs first?

AFM- today is scan day! And James woke up with a fever, so that's always fun, not

 

[jessieles]

Our names are all ready and waiting

Thomas Roy Collins for a boy

[mirandaprice]

Great names! You have any predictions on boy or girl? I'm so excited to find out- so I can only imagine how you must be bursting at the seams

 

[fairyy]

Lovely names Jess!
I am sure your baby is going to absolutely gorgeous just like you

Miranda, sorry that James is suffering from fever Hope he gets better really soon. Good luck for your appointment today.

Kerry love your new profile pic. Totally adorable

Cobyn how are you doing hun ?

Rebecca hope everything is ok!

Kristi, DD hope you all are doing fine.

Natasha have you told kids yet about the pregnancy ?

 

[fairyy]

Miranda I may wait till missed period to test or test a day earlier. Not sure yet. Depends on how I feel when I get closer to AF due date.

 

[CobynTTmom]

Jess- Congrats on the home stretch and absolutely BEAUTIFUL names you have picked out!! ❤

Dream- No one is placing judgement. Life threw a curveball and you weren't prepared. We are all here for you to listen and support.

Pickle- Thank you so... much!

Miranda & Fairyy- At the moment, physically I feel not to bad. My only symptoms now are sore bb's (increased volume), increasing trips to the bathroom, and occasional cramps and twinges.

Mentally however, I dont think I'm doing so well. I'm not getting excited. I wanted this so... BAD. I can't refrain from thinking the worst everyday, I just don't feel that positive about this pregnancy. I want nothing more than to be/feel happy and excited, but the painstaking reality is I just am not. The whole thing feels unreal to me. I refuse to allow myself to believe it's real everyday, so I'm not as hurt if something happens. I know I probably sound like a lunatic.

When we lost our baby boy at 16 weeks back in 2008, it was the most traumatic experience still to this day, I have ever gone through. It was a MMC, his heart stopped beating somewhere around 12-13 weeks and the day I started spotting I found out I had been carrying him for around a month. The hospital sent me home and basically told me to wait it out. No kind of medical intervention. It was really crude. That night the process stared on its own while OH and I were taking a shower together, and long story short I didn't know what to expect and was hemorrhaging in my bathroom for every bit of 2 hours before being rushed to the hospital.....

I wasn't this way with my 2 sweet boys I know. I was very much excited. Don't get me wrong, the fears WERE there, but my happiness outshined for sure.

I just don't exactly know what to do... I already feel like im failing myself and this sweet baby.

Cobyn that sounds so awful and traumatic - I can totally understand being hesitant about being excited. But one miscarriage doesn't necessarily mean multiple, so there's a really good chance this baby is just fine and will make it full term. Big

 

[mirandaprice]

Measuring in at 7 wks 6 days, totally in the realm of good as I wasn't 100% on ovulation. Due Date is March 23. I'll have another scan around 12 wks for the nt scan...I'm being referred to a specialist because my blood pressure is higher then they like and I had pregnancy related hypertension with James.

 

[fairyy]

Such a clean scan pic of little Miss Miranda may be!
Do you want a boy or girl this time ?
Sorry about the high BP. Isn't there any method to calm it down ?

Cobyn hunni.
Sorry about the MMC and you had to go through all these.
But I sure hope and believe that things are going to progress normally this time like last two times with your pregnancy with boys.
Distract your mind and do things you enjoy! Go somewhere relaxing, for a movie or nice date night with your better half.

Miranda what a neat scan. March 23rd wow. We are all definitely bumb buddies lol

 

[Pickletilly]

Thanks everyone, love my chickadees! They're very cranky at the moment, pretty sure they're teething, and while I express sympathy it is also extremely frustrating having two screaming kiddos all day. Grr.

Cobyn it's ok to not feel excited etc. When I found out I was carrying twins I had a week of feeling numb, I didn't know if I was happy, angry, excited, sad.. And I was annoyed at myself but now I see it's ok and your head will sort itself out in time. Also, I had quite a traumatic pregnancy and I know I will be terrified for the next one because of that, but that's just what we do to ourselves. Worry worry worry. What you went through is horrible, but look how strong you are now, a great mum and mum-to-be! You aren't failing anyone. Take each day at a time and just accept your feelings, they're normal.

Miranda such a lovely little prawn!

 

[CobynTTmom]

Thank you ladies so.... much! I really can't thank you all enough for the love and support.

Today, I decided to do one of my favorite things, and went to the movies to watch Suicide Squad. It felt good to get out of the house and escape reality for a couple hours. Now, I feel very sleepy.... maybe a nap!?

 

[mirandaprice]

I took a 4.5 hr nap today with my son, felt amazing. I recommend it

Miranda, I hope James is ok today and his fever is gone!

 

[mirandaprice]

His fever is gone, has a cough now...but otherwise fine. Dropped him off at school today, breaks my heart to leave him. Poor baby was crying and wanting me to hold him.

Pal - what dpo are you?

How are the rest of you ladies?

I'm feeling a little nauseous, but it's bearable for now, so thankful it's not as bad as I had it with James.

How would you ladies tell work? I got my bfp a week after I started my job...so like, I feel guilty in a way and don't want to upset my boss, but don't want to wait too long either.

 

[mirandaprice]

Dream- how are you feeling? Did you tell your dh?
