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.
I will totally trade you because I want to eat all the things. I feel like I'm going to gain way too much weight with this pregnancy.
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'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?
^Same. My husband would be so upset if I hid it. He would totally take it as me "hiding" it. Not saying you're hiding it. Just that's how my DH would interpret it

babywisher didn't you say in your intro that your H didn't want a 4th kid? I feel like deliberately hiding a pregnancy for weeks that you know he didn't want would be an even worse "surprise"...I'd be pissed if someone did that to me.

Yes he didn't want a second or third either. He is always shocked at first and then gets excited. I also said something about him being mad. That was a poor choice of words for me to use. He won't be mad at all. I have told him that if he doesn't want any more kids then he need to have his part taken care of. In other words he is all talk. He won't think that I am hiding it at all.

nola1017 I'm so glad your puppy is home safe! I would've freaked.
I just got a call from my doctor's office they had some cancellations so my appointment got moved up to tomorrow! I'm excited!
I am having very mixed feelings about Thanksgiving as I am having trouble keeping food down for the majority of the day but as of right now the nausea has lifted and I am looking forward to it.
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?
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.
I think I remember seeing that post. I think all I'm waiting to see is a nice darker line then I'll back off. Although, i know from my last pregnancy, that darker line doesn't always mean everything is perfect. But it atleast gives me something to do lol.
I made the mistake in doing my regular grocery shopping mid day on sat, completely forgot it was thanksgiving week. It was crazy then, so I feel bad for any one going today or tomorrow.
Well I've been continuously spotting the past few days... it's still dark brown and mostly only when I wipe (only a small amount sometimes ends up on the liner)... I'm not cramping or anything though. I put a call into my OB to see if they can see me sooner than Dec 9th when I'll be 9 weeks, just for some peace of mind. I had a decent amount of spotting with DD but I feel like this is more than that.

Hopefully they can squeeze you in and give you peace of mind.
I'm doing thanksgiving dinner for the whole family for the first time. There's soooo much to do but I've got no energy to do it, and now my toddler and I are sick with a cold too. 😷 not quite sure how to pull this off, but I'm gonna do it, dang it! And my husband is so excited about this pregnancy that he's going to tell his parents and grandma today, even though we just tested yesterday! It makes me a little nervous to announce so early, but he can't hold it in and would rather have them excited for us and praying for us than keep it a secret. I'm going to try to wait to tell my folks until Christmas so we can do a fun surprise thing.

I'm so annoyed by MH. He is throwing a temper tantrum because he didn't get as much time off for Christmas as he was wanting. Now, he wants to completely cancel our trip to MI instead of trying to come up with solutions on how we can still make the trip work.

Man tantrums are the worst!
For real.
Our solution is now, he will be leaving two days before J and I and driving back home without us. We will then follow by flying one way into an airport 1.5 hours away and have to magically figure out how to get home without a car seat. (I;m pretty sure I have it figured out).
I think he's got it pretty good in this situation.
Fingers crossed amylee545 hopefully they can get you in earlier
murran13 we told our parents just days after finding out with our son. And within a couple weeks with our loss (they were all out of town to do it earlier). This time my hubs is kind of like 'let's hold off a bit'. I'm not really sure why cause if something happens, it's not like we won't tell them. I'd rather them know and be praying with us that everything will be ok.

H just told me he wants to tell my family about the pg. Ugh, I'm not ready for this, I want to enjoy only us knowing for a few weeks. He has good intentions; two weeks ago my dad was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and H thinks that my parents could use the good news right now. I get where he's coming from, but I'm only 4w+3.

Fx the spotting stops and your OB can see you soon, it's definitely nerve racking
Thanks everyone! I'm sure it's nothing, but I really hope they can see me sooner so I don't have to go another 2.5 weeks of not knowing. I still haven't heard from them... I called them at 9:15EST... I should prob call back soon if I don't hear from them

Sorry for the dear diary post.
Ugh, I'm sorry. We're kind of in the same boat but opposite. H likes to keep it a secret for awhile, and I told my family really early. My dad has cancer, my sister is going through a ton of personal stuff right now...my family just needed a bright spot in our life. But it's hard to decide when the right time is to tell family. I hope you guys come up with a good solution that you're both happy with.
