birch113 How exciting for your MIL's transplant! I hope she continues healing on track. And yay for a heartbeat!!!
W Good luck at today's ultrasound!! And what a sweet Mother-to-be gift from your DH
lastnamewithheld Great announcement picture!! We aren't out about our infertility (I don't think my family would be supportive, sensitive, or understanding), so while I'd like to acknowledge the help from science we received (as a scientist myself) I don't think we will.
legalbeagle That was really kind of your friend to acknowledge your recent miscarriage on Mother's Day. She will be so excited to learn that you are expecting again!
bootsorhearts I also don't have many symptoms so whenever I get nervous, I also think no news must = good news
WineNChocolate Poor DD having to suffer. I would be so frustrated with the 1st doctor at the misdiagnosis.
emilie Yup the lack of symptoms can be nerve-wracking, good luck until your next appointment
AFM
How far along are you? 7 weeks 1 day
How are you doing physically? Emotionally? I'm not having many symptoms. The waking up to pee has even subsided, so I'm getting a little more sleep. Emotionally some stress stuff is getting to me a little more, and I get anxious when I think about not having symptoms. Add me to the no news=good news bench.
Any appointments or milestones this week? This morning I had a group prenatal appointment at my OB office with about 4 other ladies (and some partners) to receive a prenatal packet and informational session run by the Nurse Practitioner. I should have my last appointment with the RE next Tuesday, May 17. And then 1st OB office appt on May 27.
QOTW: How was your Mother's Day? Who spilled the beans?? Mother's Day was low key. We actually didn't have any plans which was nice, but DH did take me out to lunch. 2 of my friends that know sent me sweet text messages. We plan to tell the families the weekend of May 21/22 when we see them for my birthday celebrations, if next weeks appointment goes according to plans.
lastnamewithheld, I love your announcement. birch113, Yay for a heartbeat! I hope you get more good news on your next ultrasound. emilie, I just realized we have our ultrasounds on the same day. FX everything looks good for both of us!
How far along are you? 6w 5d
How are you doing physically? Emotionally? Physically, I’m doing great! Hardly any symptoms, just a little more tire than usual. Emotionally, trying to keep calm but I just want Wednesday to be here so I can go to my first ultrasound. I’m just hoping I’ll feel a lot more confident about this pregnancy if everything looks good.
Any appointments or milestones this week? See above, first ultrasound on Wednesday and another beta on Thursday.
QOTW: How was your Mother's Day? Who spilled the beans?? It was nice, H and I worked on our chicken coop and in the garden. We’re nowhere near ready to tell anybody yet. I may tell my sister this week after the ultrasound but we probably won’t tell the rest of our families until father’s day. I mentioned to H about possibly telling my family when we’re all together two weeks from now, and he looked shocked lol. He’s definitely very cautious about telling people.
How far along are you? 9w6d. Almost to double digits.
How are you doing physically? Emotionally? Honestly, I'm a complete wreck. I cannot stop crying and worrying about when (not if, but when) this doesn't work out. I'm still in total disbelief that I will end up with babies. Total PAIF at my house. My nausea is completely out of hand if I'm not taking me meds (I threw up 8 times on Friday alone). With the meds im down to 2-3 times a day. We're keeping buckets in multiple rooms around the house for when it hits. I feel so guilty for saying I hate being pregnant so far when it is what I've wanted for so long, but I don't know how else to describe what I'm feeling.
Any appointments or milestones this week? I have my nurse intake appointment on Wednesday.
QOTW: How was your Mother's Day? Who spilled the beans?? My parents came down to visit the weekend before mothers day so we told them then. We told DHs parents on Saturday when his siblings wouldn't be around. Waiting until Memorial day to tell anyone else that doesn't need to know.
sdgal what did you think of the group prenatal appointment? It's something I've been interested in learning more about!
It was fine. I don't think there are going to be anymore group appointments.
This was a general informational appointment with other early first tri ladies where the NP went over our prenatal packet and some slides of what to expect. It covered appointment timing, testing, pregnancy do's and don'ts. We had the opportunities to ask questions or write them down to have them answered privately. Then we got a tour of the office, and set up our first appointments with the OB or NP.
I kind of wish my DH was there, because I knew most of the information already, but he's the one who hasn't been trying to absorb all this info while we were TTC. And I don't think he's cracked the pregnancy book for the father I got him per his request.
Becca big hug. I'm sorry you're dealing with so much. My pregnancy with DS wasn't too bad but I found it difficult after he was born. And my sister helped me see that just because of my loss history it didn't mean I couldn't complain about the sucky parts of motherhood.
Feel what you feel without the guilt. FX your MS abates in 2nd tri.
How are you doing physically? Emotionally? Physically, just really tired and nauseous. Emotionally, having a hard time getting through this weekend.
Any appointments or milestones this week? I had an appointment today, got to hear the baby's heartbeat- a strong 170!
QOTW: How was your Mother's Day? Who spilled the beans?? My husband did a nice job, got me flowers and a cupcake and he made brunch. I tried avoiding the day though, just made me really sad. We've already told our families, waiting until 2nd Tri to announce on Facebook.
Thanks again birch113 for hosting I hate when your dates are different than your DR’s dates… ugh. WOW – that’s awesome your MIL was able to receive a new lung! I’m glad it all went well. YAY for a good ultrasound. I totally understand about the worry, but, FX for a growing babe!
W – I hope your u/s goes well! How do you plan to announce on FB?
lastnamewithheld – Ahhh, is it Wednesday yet? OMG – I seriously you’re your announcement. That is so, so special! That’s soooo sweet DH gave you that bib. Aww.
requiressnacks – That was sweet that your MIL got you a card. I always loved when people acknowledged me as a mom when I was pregnant w/ G. We ate way too much yesterday too. I felt like a stuffed sausage.
legalbeagle – sending lots of good vibes for your appointment on Friday!!!! I love when loss moms are recognized. I had shared a post about that on FB on Mothers Day as a reminder that not all mommies have babies by their side.
@cahistoryteacher – sorry that you’re so nauseated. I hope that you’re feeling better. The only smells that have really bothered me so far has been going into the shared restrooms at work. BARF.
mrswillie – I’m also excited to get a little bump, instead of just pudge…. There goes my self esteem lol. How awesome that your son was able to ride his bike without any training wheels!
bootsorhearts – You’re also in the dating nightmare? UGH! I hate that – especially when it’s a few days apart. I feel like I want to be further along than I am so always go with the earlier due date lol.
littlelion – I hope you feel better after your appointment on Friday. FX for double digits!
@winenchocolate – I hope that DD is feeling better soon. Ugh, that has to be terrible.
sdgal – I’m glad the group appointment went well, it’d be interesting to go with multiple women so you could hear others questions, kind of a neat idea.
Sunny75 – I hope Wednesday comes quick!!! Is there a reason they’d be doing a beta after the ultrasound?
@becca – Sending so many hugs…. Hang in there momma.
…… AFM: How far along are you? 8 weeks & 6 days
How are you doing physically? Emotionally? Physically feeling okay…. A little nausea here and there however once I eat I seem to feel better. Emotionally I go in waves….
Any appointments or milestones this week? We had our 2nd ultrasound on Friday. It went really well, babies heartbeat was 175 and measuring right on track. I’ll post a picture of my little gummy bear! (forget posting a picture, it hasn't been working for me lately.... wtf!)
QOTW: How was your Mother's Day? Who spilled the beans?? It was really nice… DH took me and G out for breakfast, we came home and took a little snooze, went grocery shopping then took my mom and dad out for dinner. G was way overtired due to missing her afternoon nap so took almost THREE hours to put to bed, so I’m a little exhausted this morning. (normally it’s less than 10 min)
Becca I had HG with DS and it was so hard. I was afraid that complaining about how sick I was would jinx things. So silly, I know, but I can empathize with where you are coming from. (((Hugs)))

Oh Becca, I am so sorry that you're feeling so sick. I hope you get some relief soon. You should come check out the pregnant with multiples check-in on the parents of multiples board, when you're feeling ready. All the good vibes coming your way!!!
mommytoava, I'm glad you made it through a hard weekend ((hugs))
sdgal, My husband hasn't even looked at any of the reading material I've provided him. It's kind of annoying.
