I am with you on Christmas shopping! I'm almost done with everyone except ds2. I just don't know what to get him. I have a couple of things at least. DH came home yesterday. I was shocked i didnt tell him right away that I'm pg. Now i know i can wait until after the u/s so i can tell him a date. I was so happy to have help again. He's been gone hunting for 2 weeks. Three kids by myself is a little difficult. Next year is going to be so hard when hunting season comes around since the baby will be so small still. My others are Jan, Feb, and April babies so they were older by the time hunting came around.
I had the realization this morning that after Thanksgiving day my next day off work is Memorial day. Now I feel like doing nothing because that's a long time to go without a day off.
The only Christmas shopping I've done is 3 stocking stuffers for my son. Ugh.
Called my dr today. No blood work this week, just an apt next Wednesday. I was hoping for bloodwork to help my pgal brain. Atleast with the holiday, the week and a half *should* go fast? Maybe? Probably not lol.
ETA: Rocky is home!!!!!! Our neighbors had her. ❤️❤️❤️
Our 11 year old lab Houdini-ed out of our backyard yesterday afternoon. She hasn't come home. Her sister (same litter) died from cancer a few months back. My 4 year old is devastated. I can't stop crying. I'm scared she isn't going to come home.
Xmas shopping... I have H done and DS mostly done....haven't started on the extended family.
My dr called and said my initial blood work was good, but I have to go back in to have my T4 tested since my TSH was borderline. Since moving I haven't changed my PCP but luckily I have to be in the city tomorrow anyhow.
I've been throwing up all night. I'm hoping it's done. I just started keeping down ice chips. I might venture to a saltine. I guess I need to break out the unisom and b6

I have done zero Christmas shopping. I hope cyber Monday has a lot of good deals happening because walking around and shopping is the last thing I was to do right now. Soooo happy it's a 3 day work week!

I'm confused. Why wouldn't you tell your husband that your pregnant? I get wanting to tell him in person...but if I was keeping a secret like that from my H he would be furious. Are you waiting to surprise him on a specific date or something?

That's a long time to go with no holidays/breaks! What kind of work do you do? You don't get a holiday for Christmas or New Year's?

Did you request that they track betas for you? Sometimes you just have to ask. Does your doctor know you have a history of loss? I requested early monitoring and my RE did bloodwork to track betas every 48 hours for two weeks.

Oh no!! I hope she comes home soon! Do you have any local lost/found pet groups on FB?? We have several in our area and lots of pets find their way back home through those groups.

I'm not telling my husband until after my first sonogram. After two early losses the first weeks really make us anxious and take a heavy toll on my relationship. So I'm waiting to tell him...

I can't imagine going through the pain of my two losses without the support of my husband. I would have been lost without him. You are a strong person for protecting him from that.

Yup, it was her nurse and I asked a couple times during the call if the doc would want that done and she said nope, just come next week. I made sure to even say my loss was just a couple months ago.
I guess I'll just keep peeing on my wondfo stash to atleast keep me alittle sane the next week 😉
But there's no doubt when I see her, I'm atleast pushing for an early ultrasound. They probably can't see much till 6 weeks, is that right?

I'm an accountant for a major insurance company. Christmas and New Years are on a weekend so we don't get any time off for those, then things like MLK, Presidents day, Good Friday, etc aren't recognized by my company.
So I'm looking forward to the end of May 2017, haha!

Ugh, bummer. I'm sorry they won't do more for you!
My RE's office said 6+2 was the earliest that they'd want to do an ultrasound, which is when I'm going in. I know people have done them earlier and seen/heard a heartbeat, though. I'm almost positive we had one with Emmett before 6 weeks, but all we could see was a sac and the hemorrhages that were causing my bleeding.
I got some really good info a few weeks ago from another poster on GKU about peeing on multiple sticks. (I think the info is somewhere in my BFP post on GKU.) Basically different tests (even in the same box or the same brand) have different amounts of dye in them, so if you're taking them and comparing the darkness of the lines over time, it may not be an accurate representation. Mine did eventually start getting darker after about a week, but for the first 5 or 6 days they were so faint you could barely see them, and some were lighter than others.

Ugh that totally sucks! I think they at least give us the Friday or Monday following a holiday if it falls on the weekend. I'm the type of person who literally counts down the days until a holiday/day off!

I'm wanting to tell him in a cute way on my birthday which is the first. I have always wanted to tell him in some cute way and have been too excited to hold it in. With him being gone the shock wore off so I can surprise him.
I have a TON to do for work but I'm having a hard time peeling myself off the couch. My lower back has been killing me on top of everything else. The heating pad has been my best friend.
The ultrasound tech made a joke today that its so exciting I get to eat for two on Thanksgiving, and I just laughed and said "yeah, if I can eat..." I'm actually really tired of not being able to eat anything. I miss food. I've lost 6lbs in the last week or so.
