Good luck today for those with appointments youdontsay, dorkusmalorkus,! Looking forward to good updates!
kam3100, so many hugs! You have had so kuch to deal with! I am so sorry!
Nothing much going on here. My parents just got off a cruise yesterday in Florida and are driving back home to Ontario, they just texed me and said they added 7 hours to the already very long trip to avoid the snow! Probably a good idea, but wow! Their plan was to drive straight through as my brother and his girlfriend have to work tomorrow. But at least there are 4 drivers. Glad I am not in that car with them though! Not fun, not fun at all!

I really wish we lived near a children's museum. I want to take my kids some place to make a mess where I don't have to clean up. I ate two breakfast sandwhiches and now I have a burst of energy to go somewhere but there is nowhere to go.
I'm ten weeks today and can hardly believe it! Double digits.
I had my first OB appointment on Friday and I got another ultrasound. Baby looks so much more like a baby now than it did at 7 weeks and it was a ..uh.. blob. Heart rate up to 174 bpm.
Next up - chromosomal testing. My OB and I agree that the cell-free testing (Harmony or MaterniT21) are my best bet. So, I'm trying to schedule that for this week or next.
Still snowed in. I am actually really irked with the people who are going out trying to drive when local officials specifically asked everyone to stay in. All they are doing is getting stuck, and then emergency and cleanup resources are being devoted to helping them, rather than the task at hand.
That's so annoying. It happened here on Friday. Finally, the police issued a statement that they wouldn't be helping people who were in accidents/stuck unless they were injured.

joy, congrats on double digits! And a blob turned baby!
kokopelli, ya I have never done that drive, I like being in a car, but I would rather make it a 2 day trip with a sleep in the middle not straight. But when there are enough people to fill a car it is still cheaper then all flying. So I understand the reasoning.

Just got off the phone with the MW, and I can do the free cell testing this week! I hit 10wks yesterday, so I can come in for the blood work anytime, results will be ready in 5-7 days. On one hand I'm dying to go get it done so we can know the sex, but now I'm equally terrified of finding out something is wrong. Aghhh.
kam3100 all the ((hugs)) for this difficult week. I am sorry for your loss.
We are dug/ploughed out but our area is still not back to normal. H is telecommuting, which means he's in and out between doing work and digging some street parking and playing with the kids. DD2's fever has been coming back every afternoon but the pediatrician's still closed even for sick visits so I am waiting it out.
We met our neighbor/former owner of our house on a walk today. He summed it up pretty well, "I'm stir crazy. My back is sore. I'm done with it."
Work has been 100% kicking my ass. This annual report may kill me. And the on again/off again nausea can stop any time now. I'm over it. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful not to be sick 24/7! But it's so frustrating to be feeling good and start making plans, only to have to call it off before you get to do anything because suddenly you don't feel well (again).
joy I've never heard of that phobia. That's got to be awful for you.
There are no stats on how prevalent it is, but I did go for phobia treatment and I was certainly not the first person who had come in there with it.
Treatment was kind of amazing. I made it to almost the final test (what I would consider the final test): being in a room with someone who was puking. That was hard to set up, obviously. I think I could handle it if I was able to retreat when I felt I needed to. I do strongly believe that I'm about 90% cured at this point, though. I'm close, but not at all perfect. I did the treatment so I wouldn't pass it on to my kids - this is how I ended up with it.
But, treatment doesn't mean that the thought of weeks of uncontrolled vomiting/nausea didn't send me into a tailspin when I found out I was pregnant. A food poisoning bout or a stomach virus is more my speed at this point. I talked to my doctor and he told me the peak weeks for morning sickness so I'm hanging my hat on that and how I feel on any particular day. It stresses me out to read stories from other people who suddenly start morning sickness later, for example, or when I read just how terrible it can be for some women. All the sympathies for you, ladies.

Update: measuring right on for 12w2d! Heartbeat of 162! Moving around like crazy! We are over the moon! So so happy. Thank you for all of your well wishes. Now we can finally relax a little and actually feel like this is really happening! Still can't believe it!
joy I'm sorry if something I said was triggery for you. I'll keep it to myself from now on
Oh god - NOOO!! You guys should be able to talk about that stuff!! That's why the board exists.
After dealing with emetophobia since I was 9, I fully understand that it's my job to handle myself and not anyone else's :-)
Oh man, my friend has this so I get it. Hugs for you right now!
Just got back from my gyn appointment, baby is measuring 9w5d but a nice heart rate of 185 so a few days off. The baby was moving around like crazy, it was so weird to see.My gyn was not concerned about my measurements being off. She gave me a list of OBs to research and transition to which makes me so sad since she's been so great.
My NT scan is scheduled for February 12th so MH can go with me.
All my apologies for making it so you cannot be here.
Please don't feel that way. My struggles are mine.
I just didn't want people to think that I was driving by and looking for squees! I'm just jumping in where I can for now. I'll be around very regularly soon!!
Second trimester will be here before we all know it, too :-) And we'll be talking about strollers and cribs and carriers instead of how crappy we all feel!
