Hi everyone! It feels like I have not posted in forever. It's so annoying that I can't at work because by the time I get home I'm just too exhausted to even look at the computer.

So how is everyone doing? I tried to catch up on the last post but I can't really go back and forth easily. Anyway, congratulations to the recent bfp's! A happy and healthy 9 months to you!

And also congrats to the ladies with the great doctors appointments and ultrasounds! I am so jealous and can't believe I have to wait until 10 weeks.

@shimmerofheaven:  oh my goodness, twins! That is so exciting! Did you have any idea before the doctor's visit?

@MARIE901: That sounds pretty much how I was feeling around that time. It's good to not feel too terrible but at the same time know that something is going on in your body!

I think the last time I updated, I was nervous because my symptoms seemed to decrease and my hpt was lighter. I never got around to calling the doctor's office about it because I was so swamped with work and all the sudden the symptoms were back in full force. When I had my m/c in November and I told the doctor that my tests faded and turned negative, she tried to encourage me that it can happen after a few weeks (obviously not the case that time) so I'm hoping that's what it was and I haven't tested since. In any case, I haven't had any cramping or bleeding and still have symptoms so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best news possible at my appointment on the 16th.

@78h2o:  I meant to include this in my post above. How are you doing? Have you been back to the doctor? I am thinking of you and praying for a miracle. So sorry you are going through this.

Hello everyone!  I feel like I haven't been on here for a few awhile.  We had a scare the other week:

But in the end everything has turned out fine!  The good out of all of this is the doctor ordered an ultrasound and after driving through the dark and in the rain we had our first untrasound and the for the first time we got to see the baby!  Seeing the heart beat for the first time (167!) and getting the reassurance from the doctor that the untrasound and the babys growth looks really good put me at such ease.  Also I'm a bit farther along then I thought!  As of today I am 10 weeks 4 days with a new due date of August 30th (but I'm going to stay on this board because who ever knows!)

I was wondering, is everyone telling parents and family?  How are you planning on sharing the news?  Last weekend DH's family and my family are getting together for my birthday.  I got these cute kid picture books entitled "Grandpa and Me" and "Grandma and Me" with the ultrasound pics inside and "Baby C***" on the name line.  It was exciting to have out secret out for the family :)

@2PeasinaPod:  I hope everything went ok today!

@78h2o:  I'm so sorry to hear about your sad news. How are you feeling now?

 @Littlebean912:  Wow. glad to hear that everything turned out ok! We have only told my mom so far and will tell my dad and in-laws if everything goes ok with my appointment next week. We have just been so focused on getting to the appointment we haven't even thought about how to tell them. Definitely need some good ideas, at least for his parents - it'll be their first grandkid. I love your idea!

@Bao:  That is really amazing!!! Congratulations!

Hello everyone!  Happy Friday :)  I hope everyone is doing well and welcome to the new comers :)  It's been kinda uneventful here.  We have our second appointment with the OB and our NT scan is fast approaching on the 27th.  I'm trying to think only good thoughts and how it will go well and our baby is growing beautifully and problem free!  I bought my first bella band because I got tired of my pants being tight around my tummy.  Very comfortable!  My DH and I started taking belly pictures at 10 weeks (I'm 11 weeks 1 day today) and our second picture from yesterday didn't look too different :(  I feel a little bigger but it may be all the pasta I've been eating (forget healthy food I want pasta!)  How is everyone doing?

hey everyone! Ive been meaning to post on these boards since i got my BFP but i never got around to it til now! I just finished reading the first part of this thread and now this one :)

Date of BFP:  January 19 (day after my birthday!)

How far along are you?  8weeks, 6 days

Estimated due date:  September 22

Date of first prenatal appointment:  Guess it was January 19 when I got all the blood work done - pregnancy was a complete surprise, had taken a pregnancy test just to rule it out since my body had been acting so weird!! And then had a doctor's appointment that afternoon which I had already booked and had bloodwork done.

How are you feeling?  I've had pretty bad morning sickness since week 5! hasnt been too fun but I'm taking it as a good sign. A bucket has been my best friend for the last three weeks. Also - exhaustion! And I'm a tummy sleeper and its already getting uncomfortable sleeping on my stomach :(

Who have you told? It was very hard to keep it a secret in the beginnning, so had told our parents, siblings and closest friends - but have told all of them to keep it on the downlow since I have a bleeding disorder so theres a high chance of miscarriage - but everything has been fine so far. We're going to wait til 12 weeks before we make it public knowledge.

What are you reading/google searching/preparing for?  I had bought a NZ pregnancy book about 2 weeks ago - and I've been stalking the pregnancy boards on both here and reading posts on hellobee.

And I really need to get active about ringing up a midwife!! my GP wanted me to get to 7-8 weeks to see if this bubba was gonna stick so now I'll have to get serious about finding one! eeeekkk! oh and had my first ultrasound on february 14 (valentines present to myself! lol) and saw the lil baby! and the heartbeat was 154!
