michelle, you and George have been in my thoughts.

mako, I have horrible pain when I ovulate. I have issues with cysts as well and they can be very painful. I am glad that you are starting to feel better. Have a great holiday!

Bun, I know how hard it can be to ask for help. You should really let them know how you are feeling. My mom and I had the same issue for a while. Come to find out, she was worried that she would be bothering me. She didn't want to interrupt nap time or feeding time. Sometimes you need to let tham know that you need some interruptions.

kelly, It is tough being pregnant and caring for an active little one. It makes it even harder when you don't have family close by to help you on those tough days. You are not perfect, only human, and there are most likely going to be many more moments when you lose you patients. You are still a good mom.

AFM, I am taking a trip home to New york for the long weekend. I haven't been home in a while and I don't see too many trips in the near future. It is a 5 hour drive and I am not going to be doing that with 2 little ones or with a huge pregnant belly. I can't wait to see my family and friends. I feel really alone being so far away.
I think I am starting to relax a bit about the ultrasound results. My doctor really did try to tell me that it is most likely nothing and to not worry about it. Easier said than done. I guess soft markers are something to look at more closely if your blood work comes back positive.
