15 weeks today! I can't believe I'm almost at the 4 month mark. I've started to have some round ligament "awareness" I'll say because it's not really painful yet but I now know where they are lol. I've also been getting headaches daily which kind of sucks but they're not terrible so that's good. I am starting to really show which still seems to boggle my mind. I feel huge although I know I'm no where close to huge yet.
In NBR news our house is on the market again so FX it sells quickly!
Here's a quick bump shot:
Keep the BFPs coming!!
Definitely talk to your doc, but I had some ridiculous daily headaches in second tri and my doc put me on a combo of Magnesium Supplements and Baby Aspirin daily through the end of Second Tri and the headaches all but disappeared for the most part.
Magnesium has been a game changer with my headaches. I was getting them all day, err day and their were awful. The magnesium has pretty much made them completely disappear.

I wanted to wait until my first ultrasound today before I started participating. You see, after my second beta, the nurse told me that since I'm at high risk for an ectopic pregnancy, I would be having extra monitoring early. Since I had no idea I was as high risk for such a thing, I naturally freaked out for a while. You should have seen the look on her face when she realized the RE hadn't mentioned this teeny fact to me previously.
Long story short, lucky cycle 36 (IUI #5) was the winning ticket. Today is 5w2d. Our cute little bubble (I don't know what else to call it) is measuring 5w4d and everything looks great. I go for another ultrasound next Thursday at 6w4d. It feels like someone is trying to rip by boobs from my body, but other than that, there's nothing to report.
I still can't believe I'm allowed in this club.
It's so surreal to be able to post in this thread! I avoided this thread for so long because I just couldn't handle it and now I'm like "Wait, I go here?" The transition was a bit jarring for me.
Why were you high risk for an ectopic? I'm just curious if it was something to do with your numbers, bleeding, etc. or something particular to your diagnoses?

I guess in October 2014 when I had my Fallopian tubes looked at, one of them didn't spill properly. I wasn't told this.

Ah. Interesting.
I also had a tube that didn't spill dye. They felt it was because the other side hogged all the dye. They didn't call it blocked, but called it "maybe blocked." Haha. But no one freaked over ectopic for me, thank goodness.

Are you considered in the clear now??
Yep. The little guy implanted in the right place. All clear now!

Clara was a month old on Monday. Can't believe how fast that month went by. She is up to 9 1/2 pounds, so gaining well. She has a pretty intense newborn rash at the moment, which is so sad but will hopefully clear up sooner rather than later.
She is pretty colicky and still struggling a lot with gas. My 2-year-old is full-on in the terrible twos and still working on her damn molars. Neither of them has been sleeping well. So basically we're just really exhausted and have to make sure we are well-stocked in wine at all times.
I'm trying soak up snuggles as much as I can, as we still haven't gotten a great routine down and though I'm not sure exactly when, I know I'll be heading back to work sooner rather than later.
Ray How are you 15 weeks?! Time is flying. Sorry to hear about the headaches but yay for the house being on the market. I hope it sells quickly.
swivelchair5 Those decals are amazing! I love the nursery theme.
kelle017 Congratulations! She is beautiful. Don't feel dumb saying that about labor! I just felt like I was having bad period cramps until it was time to push. Every labor is different!
I had to read this three times. I assume you weren't one of those people who didn't know you were pregnant, right? They just felt like period cramps?
That's what mine felt like until they broke my water. After the first post water breaking contraction I got an epidural.

We're doing ok over here. DS gained almost a full 3 lbs since Christmas! He and DD are getting along just fine and I couldn't be more pleased with how we are all adjusting. DD hasn't been acting out but I do notice she is more clingy. Thankfully she hasn't thrown tantrums if I can't tend to her right away while I'm with DS. I've been loving on her and trying to keep her routine as unchanged as possible and I think that is helping. DH is still gone for work but will be home for Valentine's Day weekend. I miss him more every week. I'm lurking and LTing whenever I can and can't wait to see more BFPs. Love to y'all!
