You guys, I'm actually pregnant! Doc saw nothing to be alarmed about with the brown spotting. I got to see the little bean & 150 heartbeat. Still going in next week for my real 1st prenatal but PHEW. I think I actually believe it's real now.
Thank you thank you thank you for all of your kind words of encouragement this morning.

I kind of want to set up an Amazon registry. But after my loss I got so many emails (not just from Amazon, but if you sign up for one or two things, some places give your email to everybody and their mother). I had to unsubscribe from so many lists because I kept opening my email to find offers for things that I didn't need for a baby that wasn't coming. It was really depressing. I even got a coupon for diapers in the mail yesterday and I know I haven't signed up for anything this time around so it must be from my last pregnancy.

Is there something to click so they don't send your email to third parties? I feel like you should have that option.
I know Pgal brain is so hard. Maybe wait some more - give yourself a milestone or timeframe.

I'm not sure Amazon was so much the guilty party. They just sent the occasional "check out this sale" type thing. I did give my email at some maternity store, Destination Maternity maybe? And I got tons and tons of emails and physical mail after that.

Yeah, I didn't realize Thyme maternity gave my email and address to so many places when I signed up for their card thing either. Some coupons are handy. But having them as reminders that you don't need them is so hard

I refuse to give my info to that place. They sell it to an RESP company that never stops calling. Nestle also harassed me for over a year because of them.

Yeah. I didn't realize that until it was too late. The resp people stopped calling us when we said told them we opted to go through a bank. Nestle never called me - just mailed me samples and coupons.
Anyone have any good pregnancy symptoms? I realized today that my skin has been perfect for weeks. Not that it usually gives me much trouble, but usually I'll get blemishes here and there.
Add me to the no coffee bandwagon....not because I'm against the idea, but because the thought of it makes me gag. This happened last pregnancy too and I got over it sometime in the 2nd trimester. I'm hoping that happens again because I could use the boost!

Does weight loss count as a "good" side effect of pregnancy? Hahaha!
Guys, I'm scared. I'm spotting brown. It's. Scary. Ugh. I thought I'd spotted once before but this is way different and real. Ugh ugh ugh. T&P appreciated.
So sorry you are faced with this worry. ((((Hugs))))
vivela, I did an Amazon registry with DS and loved it. I don't remember any unwanted mail or email afterward but I'm sure I had a bunch of baby stuff on my "things you might like" list. You can also add non-Amazon items to your registry so your friends and family have the option to order things that might not be available on Amazon which I thought was pretty cool. I didn't set it up until after my anatomy scan though, so you could always hold off if you're still feeling anxious. I feel ya - unexpected reminders were tough after my loss.
I might count exhaustion as a "good" symptom because it's been a great excuse to go to bed early. DH has mostly picked up the slack around the house too, so I haven't had to clean too much lately!

Dreaming it's stopped (so far) thanks for checking in. Today I feel like complete shit though and DS is making things worse since I picked him up from daycare. I just can't parent tonight and DH works for another hour and bedtime is over an hour and a half away.
I need to go to the grocery store tonight because we literally have no food. But I'm so exhausted and cold, and it's so dark, which is not helping! Wah!
In my former life I was a daily coffee drinker, one 16oz cup a day. Now I drink an 8oz cup once or twice a week. On the other days of the week, I drink a coffee/hot chocolate concoction I make myself. It's a blend of coffee (4oz), milk/creamer (4oz), and hot cocoa (8oz). It brings me joy in the morning. I can't cut the coffee completely or I'll get headaches, so I've just reduced it.

On nights like those, my DD gets to play in the tub for a long time. Mama doesn't get touched out, and she is happy. Would that work for you?
He actually just spent the last half hour in the tub because he was covered in peanut butter. It helped because he calmed down enough to be happy just cuddling with me.
Dreaming, I love LOFT Maternity clothes!!! Their work pants are great. Not that I need them except for church this pregnancy since I am staying home now, but they got me through last time!
babyzebra, EWWWW! I am always very fascinated and interested in people who work in the medical field, however, not dentist specifically. You are brave! I think I've mentioned I've always had a phobia of the dentist, haha!
From all of you guys talking about your food cravings, I satisfied many of them today when I finally went to the grocery store (after being away for 10 days). I literally walked around Target drinking a hot chocolate from Starbucks and eating salt and vinegar chips. Then I got a large fry from Chick-fil-A. SO GOOD. Except not good that I can barely button my pants anymore.
I'm glad to be home-still need to unpack, but got my dog picked up from the boarding place. Conducting a few more interviews tonight. The last person I interviewed did not do well and the interview was extremely short, so I have some time to TCF before I call the next person, yay!
bgkc4, ooh a mocha! Add some mint to that and I'm in.
I've always been a big coffee fan but I switched to decaf when we started TTC again and now the thought of coffee makes me queasy. A mint mocha sounds heavenly though so a trip to Starbucks may be in order tomorrow.
Let me start by saying that I love DS but holy crap tonight has been rough. 3 year old mood swings are no joke, because he can't explain why he's so emotional. And now that I type that out, I'm laughing because he's basically acting like a 3 year old pregnant lady.

That's the perfect analogy, just perfect. Last night DS had 3 meltdowns at dinner time for the following 'reasons'
1. It wasn't breakfast time 2. There were carrots in his soup, he suddenly doesn't like carrots (same carrots he devoured the night before) 3. I opened up his biscuit (after he asked me to)
The sensitivities are incredible. But yeah, I feel bad for DH, housed with a pregnant lady and 3 year old (pregnant lady).

My boobs are getting bigger. My nails are beautiful, but I'm like a 16 year old with acne.
I agree about the bigger boobs! My boobs got so deflated and way smaller than pre pregnancy after I stopped breastfeeding. It was so sad. They're starting to get a little bigger again which is nice!!
mladerri, since my DH is out of town for so long, I totally sent him a picture so he could see they were getting bigger, LOL. Of course he's all, "I love them either way!"....but I'm confident he appreciates the pregnancy boobs

Every since DD was 3, i referred to her as the "girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead" - when she's good, she's very very good - but when she's bad she's horrid. 3 was rough.... 3 and a half is BRUTAL ALL THE TIME.
