    All looked good today!!! He was measuring a few days ahead I thought that I was going to have a panic attack walking into the ultrasound room and I couldn't hold back the tears. Not getting much sleep last night didn't help. I go back in 2 weeks and I have to see my MFM doctor in 3 weeks. We are not out of the woods yet but we're off to a good start.

    I think that I have been feeling a few movements...nothing strong enough to make me say that it is bub for sure. I had a nice glass of ice cold water and felt something.

    YaY!! Thats great news laney!!! Oh did i miss something.. do we know its a "he????" Or did you only just find out???

    Well i dont think it will be long til you hear an announcement from me... i got some full on contractions happening for about two hours last night- i was "this" close to waking up DH and then they stopped and i fell asleep, this morning i have had a few- but not as full on as last night. I dont think it will happen today- but i am thinking this week.. its the 18th on friday ( i lost both my angels on the 18th) so i am hoping it doesnt happen on that day coz that will freak me out!!!

    Well DS is ready to play so i better be off!! Bye for now!!

    SB, the ultrasound tech told me at 13 weeks that it was most likely a boy. We found out today that it was for sure a boy. I told DH that he better be ready to add one more after this because I still want another little girl.
    This Week!!!! You still need to cook that bub for a few more days at least. Do you have an appt. this week to check if you are dilated?

    Laney, so glad your scan went well, woo hoo for another lil man! So very happy things are going well for you hun.

    Starbright, thinking of you this week hun. GL with the birth of your bubbie! And I hope it won't be the 18th....big hugs hun.

    Betterflyforever, congrats on your pg hun! I hope that you have a boring, trouble free and smooth pg!

    Hello to Ellie, Jlk, mummyof4 and anyone else I missed.

    Life is very busy for me ATM, my little guy is being pretty unsettled lately, don't know what's going on. I have had a tickle in my throat for ages and he has been waking up with a stuffy nose during the night so maybe he has a cold. Poor little bugger.

    Will check on you all soon.

    Hi everyone,

    sorry I have been MIA- I have honestly been pretty scared and keeping my mind off of the pregnancy (hmm when I am not nauseous and sleeping) has beena key for success for me, so I have been keeping away from a lot

    Congrats to Klee on Kristian.

    Also hooray Laney for a successful scan and a little boy!

    Mo4- I hope the anxiety has let up a little. How are you doing?

    Butterflyforever- Congrats on your BFP and welcome to the thread! Those hcg numbers look great. A lot of us in here are seeing high risk doctors- I love mine. Best of luck for a H&H pregnancy. Keep us updated on teh spotting. With my first pregnancy I spotted for 9 weeks (subchorionic hematoma) and then it resolved on its own, so things can be good.

    Starbright- I keep waiting for your announcement too! Keep us updated.

    Dory- How are you doing? Do you have a big bump yet? How did the tooth extraction go?

    Charlie B- How are you? haven't heard from you in awhile.

    Hello to anyone I missed!

    AFM- trucking along. Hard to believe I am 10 weeks! I really focus on day to day. I have my 12 week scan on the 28th- which seems forever away, but I am kind of excited for it. Doctor is telling me to enjoy my pregnancy if I can, and I am trying.....I am still on the fence on the doppler. I keep going back and forth. I think I am just going to wait it out until I have weekly apts.....if I can maker it another 3 weeks.

    I just wanted to say a quick hello - I have been MIA too. Combination of being busy ( well busy for me), coming down with a cold ( tired) and feeling like this is all just too hard and there is just too long to go ( overhwhelmed and frustrated). Thankfully I am over my "hump", getting over my cold, and looking forward to a rest. I look like kung fu panda today - really really dark rings under my eyes. I never got them until last year.... strange how this journey can change you.

    It's been so nice to visit and hear all the good news.

    Laney - AWESOME!!! I am soo soo happy for youm your DH, Grayson, your new bundle of joy and your angels. Glad you can feel some movements.

    M04 - awesome for you to feel some little movements and to see bubs on u/s squirming about. Don't feel pressure to get your stuff together - this journey is hard enough without putting pressure on yourself uneccessarily. When you get on here is just fine.

    Cmegelles - it's amazing how time flies and at the same time stands still! 10 weeks is awesome. It won't be that long and it will be the 28th!

    Butterfly - how are you doing? Keeping those fears and anxieties to a manageable level?

    Klee - it's been so good to hear from you.... when I finish this post I am going to read your ba....I am excited with anticipation. But knowing the end result is Kristian, makes it just so much better. Hope you are all faring well.

    JLK - you've been quiet - all ok?

    Charli - Know that I am thinking of you and sending you my love.

    Beata - I am such a dunce.... serves me right for stalking so many threads because then i forget from time to time which thread people are in. I was asking after you in another thread. I think I need to do myself a list. It seems to be happening more often. Pregnesia? I am glad to hear that things really are going well. A bit up and down, and it would be much easier if Cameron was settled. Hoping its just a cold. Must be awful to have one at his age... take care of yourselves.

    Starbright - oh oh I am sooooooooooo excited. I hope not the 18th too, just because as you said, it would be too much.

    AFM - well I had the first of 2 steroid injections today to expedite baby's lung development, so that bubs has better prospects, if bubs decides to make an early entrance. It hurt more than I thought and it felt oddly rude exposing my butt/hips/thigh to the Ob instead of my front! LOL, there are always surprises in this journey. Next one tomorrow. I know it's no where near a guarantee, to either get to this gestation or to have the injections, but at least I am doing everything I can to give bubs the best chance, and that is all I can do.

    Both of the fur baby's teeth extractions went well. #2 was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, so thankgod I took him in sooner than I'd expected for his teeth. He's is now on twice daily tablets ( now that's a lot of fun, but at least he doesn't scratch or bite) until 3rd July when he has another check up just to make sure the hyperthyroidism ( over active thyroid) is not masking any other diseases, and then no tablets for 2 weeks, and then he goes in for his treatment. He will be gone 3 weeks for his treatment! Argh! But I have been preparing myself for the separation and he'll be in good hands. After the first week DH and I can visit him. If I wasn't pregnant and he was an outdoor cat, he could come home after the first week, but it's just safer to board him for the extra 2 weeks. It's a bit of a race against time, but he will be home again about 7 weeks before bubs is due, so here's hoping all goes to plan. Stay snuggly little chicken!

    Take care my lovelies and belly rubs to all.
