Cheryl, congrats on the BFP! H&h 9 months!
Kelly, Fx crossed for you!
Sam, I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa.
Anyone I missed, I hope things are going well and we have more BFPs soon!
AFM, I'm almost to 11 weeks and I'm getting a little bit of a bump! I spent the weekend on one of the Great Lakes with my extended family, which was lots of fun. I also found out my best friend from elementary school (we were practically like sisters for about 6 years) is pregnant with her second baby and due two days after I am!
We also found out this morning that my sister in law is five weeks pregnant, but she was spotting this morning and going to the ER. She has lots of health issues and they've been wanting to get pregnant for years now and it just hasn't happen until now. I'm feeling very mixed emotions; of course I want the baby to be fine, but I know she's going to have a very difficult pregnant if it is a sticky bean. I also know it's going to crush her if it doesn't stick, which would be awful as well. And I hate to admit this, but in all honesty.... there's also a part of me that's jealous because if it does stick then everyone will be focused on her and the miracle baby and her pregnancy and everyone will forget about me (especially since we live out of state from our family, and my SIL is there with them), and if she loses it then I won't be able to be happy or talk about my pregnancy with the family (we were already been keeping it a bit sedate as to not upset her since she really wants a baby)... And I feel horrible that I feel this way when it's about her and not about me! Gah!
Edit: We got am update that everything looks fine for my SIL and it turns out she's actually 7.5 weeks along, so just 3 weeks behind me. So I guess I can say goodbye to the idea of my OH's parents coming out to see the baby, and I'll need to figure out how to put the focus on her. My MIL already suggested a joint shower, and reminded us that we need to be really encouraging and helpful to my SIL. I'm really happy things look okay, but now I wish we hadn't gotten pregnant yet. I want to be able to enjoy my pregnancy and feel special, and the timing of our pregnancy just kind of gets in the way now.
