Anthonysmom--Oh, Barbara, I'm sorry you have to be going through this! Is there anything else your dr. can do that would increase your progesterone? Good luck tomorrow with you u/s, you're in my Sending you positive You can do this, hun, just relax and focus on the positives--your previous u/s and BT's. Evie's a beautiful name--New Year's Eve, what an awesome EDD! Take care, and please let us know how things go tomorrow with your u/s!

Anthonysmom - Sending bucket loads of positive vibes to you, and I love bub's name 'Evie', that's adorable. Hopefully you'll see a healthy little hb and you'll wonder what on earth you were worrying for (although as women ttc is seems to come so natural to us).

hi!
i'm gonna cut right to the chase!
barbara - you have no idea how happy i am to see your post. (and i don't mean that to be insensitive in light of your post subject -i really hope you understand what i mean!)
I was hoping you would come back and i am glad you have! i really want to send you a bucketload of hugs for your ultrasound also! There are so many pluses still on your side right now so please hang onto that hope right there!i really hope the ultrasound gives you a gorgeous view of your baby "evie" (which i LOVE by the way!) and puts your mind in a much more peaceful place. I am glad your docs are monitering your levels also so you know where you are at. I am the same, still scared to hope to much but i am reaching a point that i really have to believe in this baby i am carrying and what it means for our family. we are here to support you at anytime, lurk if you wish but vent if your need to also! take care and lets both practise those positive vibes huh?!?
katie - you know that work girl - well the saga of guessing continues! Last night apparently she said to my mgr (who knows) as i was in the car behind, so do you know if jo is pregnant yet. Worse was that another girl from work was in there and asked why she thought i was pregnant? so she begins the list and my mgr just goes if you want to know just ask and she was saying that she could'nt do that and the other girl was like she is too skinny, shes not showing. and so the dectitive work continues. So now i have deecided to keep it a secret as long as my belly decided to be on my side with that!As for the DH advice, true about mothers day so thank-you for that. For me this pregnancy is no different or any less exciting than my others so i have the expectation for him to be the same i guess. i still find every moment amazing, (in my nervousness and even the annoying peeing 3 x a night) and i still trawl preg websites for updates and pictures etc. It could be my first or 20th child and it would not change the experience for me. So i think that is my line of thinking, i will talk to him tho.
hey to everyone else -sorry for lack of personals!

jo--Sounds like you work with a couple super-sleuth, Nancy Drew wanna be's! You should keep them in the dark for as long as possible!

[jo76]

ha ha Jen! I agree, Nancy Drew is def the person she is being! Hmm, like you suggested, it is my turn to have fun with it. This will the one time i hope my belly stays hidden as long as possible! then i can go "oh, by the way, i'm 6 months preg..." and watch her collapse in shock! ha! And since we are absolutely no closer to telling my inlaws i don't think she will be the only one!
to any of you who are going to the open day for belly belly, have fun without me! i was going and now i have been called in to work so am shattered that i will miss it and have to change my rsvp! Fill me in if anyone goes! i would love to hear about it!
First OB appointment is on monday, argh! - will update you then! Am excited and nervous, will be interesting to hear what he says!
take care all!

Hi jo--Oh, I wish I could go to the opening day for BB! Sorry to hear you got called into work--does that mean you'll be stuck working with Nancy Drew? Good luck on Monday with your first appointment-how exciting! Are you getting an u/s done, too? Everything's going to go great, I just know it! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Take care!

Hi all - I am not going to the BB opening. I figured there would be too many babies etc for me. Shame you have to work Jo.

Also Jo - good luck tomorrow. I can't wait to hear your good news. What hospital are you booked at?

Hi Jen - how is your TTCing going. Do you have any feelings about this cycle?

As for me, not much to report. I still get emotional and scared at any given moment and my DH is very good as helping me through my tears. I am starting to feel pregnant in that my back hurts and the belly is starting to get heavy. Last night I woke up and I must have been in the one position for too long because I had such a hard time moving - muscles really low in my pelvis were not happy! I will ask my Ob how I can stay comfortable sleeping without actually hurting myself or pulling a muscle. I actually don't mind being uncomfortable as it means I am getting bigger...but I already have a pretty big belly (it has popped the last week or so) so I wonder how huge I will be at the end....there you go some positive thinking
