Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates!
I managed to survive holding a squirmy DD2 through several Christmas carols, a reading of the Christmas story, and prayer, plus like 10 entire family pictures today. I think I earned a gold star. Although it was more BIL and SIL who kept her from accidentally falling down the stairs. DD1 did great being patient and grateful for her gifts. Unisom has kept me from puking. All in all, not too bad.
Loving the Christmas stories so far! SO has been all considerate today. He wanted a family photo by the tree with ultrasound picture. Then he impromptu took me to the beach where we walked around and took more pics. We took pics with the dogs and cats.
Bahaha. Men. Our race would never survive if they had to experience pregnancy. I'm sure he's way more nauseated than you.
It must be really hard for him to have such terrible sinus pressure and AN ENTIRE PHARMACY OF MEDICATION HE CAN SAFELY TAKE
Gah, this is so true. I took Dayquil a few months ago (for the first time in like 3 years) and it was heaven. I have no idea why H complains at all about being sick when he can take anything he wants to make him feel better.
I feel crummy today! Huzzah! I'm slightly nauseous and want NOTHING for eating. I'm at my in-laws, trying to be sneaky, but I think they'll notice if I forgo delicious treats to eat stale saltines. I ate some grape tomatoes and they were heavenly.
My Sweetie got me a Trollbeads bracelet with a sweet koala charm, snuggling a sweet koala baby. The bracelet is clanking around right now, and it'll take some getting used to, but it's beautiful and I love it. :-)
Tomorrow, to PDX! Going from Christmas to travel that fast is going to make my head spin, but I am so excited to be snuggled up with my aunts tomorrow!
My H is not usually one to get man sick, but he also made the decision to be sober a few months ago so I think a cold + no booze is making him cranky lol

OMG. Now I'm freaking STARVING and dinner isn't quite ready.
Also, I just had some delicious shrimp (I googled it, I'm allowed) and cocktail sauce and I feel like I may have to eat that like once a week for the next 10 months. It was soooooo good.

I had shrimp cocktail last night and it was so good. Bread? Baby hates it. Buttered toast? Hell no. Shrimp cocktail? Baby wants seconds.
I just made ham, stuffing, and green bean casserole after taking nap number 2 for the day.
Eating ham went great! And the stuffing and green bean casserole tasted better than previous years but onions and seasoning in them made me nauseous. SO ate extra just for me.

OMG so tired. Made a kick ass turkey dinner with all the fixings. It turned out AMAZING!
Managed to burn two of my fingers and smash a lid for a casserole dish though hahaha. Oh well they feel fine now but I want to just head to bed already.
So last night, MrRama and I got this huuuuuge, overwhelming wave of buyer's remorse after we got my beta back (yup, she wanted another one, even if it was only a day after the last one). It had doubled appropriately. We, particularly he, just suddenly "knew" it was an uterine pregnancy and we'd made a horrible, horrible mistake. We were both in a very not okay place. This morning we woke up feeling hollow and I felt furious with myself, for letting myself be pressured into making the choice I said I wouldn't.
The OB called me personally today to see how we're doing (personal call=very strange) and said she'd received the biopsy results: no pregnancy tissue. Ectopic confirmed. It was a terrifying call to get, but to be honest? It let us let go of a lot of the stress and guilt and worry we'd been beating ourselves up about over the previous 12 hours. An enormous weight felt like it had lifted from our shoulders and the immediate effect was certainly noticeable.
But, as usual, there's another shoe to drop, right? I have fatty liver. She wasn't sure with that, that I could take MTX, the shot usually used to treat an ectopic. I was looking at surgery. And with this kind of surgery, I could be looking at having a portion of my tube taken. So we stressed about that and what that would mean for our future fertility.
Thankfully, this story ends in a high note. She called back awhile later, after talking to a GI, and they gave her the go ahead to give me MTX! We'd much rather not jump to the alternative. There's a max of 4 shots in the series, though, so if it doesn't work as expected, surgery isn't off the table. But today, we're good. We're okay.
Tl;dr We got hit with immense regret last night, then learned this morning that the biopsy results indicated ectopic. Almost needed surgery, but will do MTX first.

I can't believe I am saying this (obviously the circumstances are a bit different than the norm!), but I am thankful that it turned out to be ectopic so you didn't have to deal with the alternative and you can now move forward. Still so sorry you are dealing with this. Hugs, and I hope you managed to have a decent Christmas.

We've said the exact same thing several times. Whew.
