EDD/Week/FruitWorries (rational or irrational)
Sweet pea. I can only pray thst the little guy is working on blueberry.
I am still spotting, and it comes and goes in roughly 10 hour cycles. The amount is less, but enough that I still am exhausted from worrying. I have to go back to work today, and I have no idea how I'll deal with that.
I did take a pregnancy test last night, just out of worry. It came out darker than the control line, so I must be up to my eyeballs in hcg. That was heartening to see.
Still waiting for the 7/31 appointment. I decided to just visit that new gyno and see if that one nurse was just an anomaly. She's one of the only gynos in the are that specialize in natural labor, so I'm hoping she's good.

Worries (rational or irrational)
I'm actually doing pretty well this week. Work is keeping me busy, so I haven't had too much time to worry.
Appointments scheduled
I have an u/s and OB appointment scheduled for August 15. I'm going in for another HCG and progesterone check on July 29, so that's less than a week away.
Upcoming milestones/Loss dates
None in the immediate future.
QoTW: What does your SN mean? (I get it if you don't want to answer because of security concerns or whatnot.)
I really like tiger lilies. The number is not significant (I was just trying to use a number that probably hadn't been taken), but now I'm hoping that 2015 will be the year of my first take home child!

Worries (rational or irrational) I'm feeling much better this week, not sure if it was the awful nausea had on Monday that made me feel more reassured. Seriously, I thought I was going to puke on the train on my way into work. Still checking the TP every time, but I feel like it might be more out of habit at this point and less pure fear. Other than that, just feeling some anxiety going into my first appointment.
Appointments scheduled Next Tuesday (finally!). It will be an u/s and appointment with the doctor.
Upcoming milestones/Loss dates My first LO stopped developing between 8-9 weeks (discovered at 11), so my appointment next week will basically be my first milestone. I'll probably be a wreck going into the u/s but just keeping everything crossed that this one keeps on growing!
QoTW: What does your SN mean? (I get it if you don't want to answer because of security concerns or whatnot.) My SN is pretty boring. For some reason I have a hard time coming up with clever ones.

@footprint lol ZacEffron medicine love it. But no throwing up just so icky feeling. Like I feel like I'm going to get sick yet I don't. I almost wish I would throw up just to get maybe an ounce of relief.
Zofran is what I was thinking of, you can see my confusion! I think thy prescribe it even if you aren't throwing up.

Hello hello, Monday's appointment didn't start out so great- my OB spent at least 10minutes trying to find HB with Doppler before sending me to get an ultrasound.... And after what felt like forever we saw our little one jumping and wiggling around, The US tech was like "no wonder she couldn't find it- this baby is bouncing off the walls!"- huge sigh of relief after another scare!
EDD/fruit/week: jan 30, still a plum, 12wks 5days Worries: deciding when and how we will announce, we already feel stressed and overwhelmed.... I'm just not ready to share our news. I feel like as soon as we tell our family and close friends we will either be harrassed about what's going on and how the baby is and/or we will get "advice" on what I should/shouldn't be doing this pregnancy.... I don't think I can handle it! Appointments: Friday, 1st tri screen at MFM QoTW: nothing fancy, just a shortened version of my name!

That would have freaked me out at the doctor's too! I'm glad you saw your little acrobat! If you aren't ready to tell your news, then don't. But whenever you do choose to tell your news, be it tomorrow or five weeks from now, you will be harassed and overwhelmed by (usually) asinine advice. It helped me to remember that all of the harassment and advice comes from a place of love (for the most part). I would just nod, and smile, and listen for my name.
Worries (rational or irrational) : I've been doing really good until yesterday am. I had a slight freak out thinking that I may be having another MMC. If baby is still healthy and growing this is the most pregnant we've ever been. Just hoping LO is doing just fine. I guess that's all I can do until our next apt.
Appointments scheduled: SO FAR AWAY...8/8 is the next OB apt, and 8/12 is N/T Scan...time machine please!
Upcoming milestones/Loss dates: Sunday was our first angel babies EDD. I did better than I expected. Didn't break down till late eve.
@asouza100 I hope your LO shows you a great HB for your anniversary!

Worries (rational or irrational) I'm doing pretty well right now. I've had a couple of PGAL brain moments when my symptoms were quiet, but since that hasn't happened much it isn't much of a problem.
Appointments scheduled
I meet with the genetics counselor, have another ultrasound and see my OB on 8/11. My big ultrasound - the first one - was last week and as I posted could not have gone better.
Upcoming milestones/Loss dates I've passed my loss milestones, though I'm feeling very aware that I expected to be hugely pregnant right now (EDD was 9/15) and instead I'm just a little bit pregnant.
Worries (rational or irrational): Well, I was feeling pretty good after yesterday morning when I had a sono ( @footprint - yes I did have my sono, yesterday! And yes, sono and u/s are the same thing ). Everything looked great, baby was measuring just two days behind my due date so that won't change and heartbeat was 162. But then the doc called today to tell me I have a subchronic bleed/clot in my uterus. I had one of those last time- and things ended badly. Not related to that, but still, now I'm horribly nervous again.
Appointments scheduled: The doc wants to check on my hematoma again so I'll be getting another sono on Monday August 4th, and then I have an OB appt scheduled for the 5th. At least I get another u/s out of the deal!!
Upcoming milestones/Loss dates: My 10 year high school reunion is the Friday- I was supposed to be cute 2nd tri pregnant. Instead I'm yucky bloated 1st tri pregnant and won't tell anyone. Boo.
QoTW: What does your SN mean? (I get it if you don't want to answer because of security concerns or whatnot.): lol it's okay, I'm not too worried about stalkers Mine is my last name, and the month Eric and I got engaged. Originally we were going to get married in 2007 as well, but then we moved it up to '06.

What a great hb! Must have been a relief to see that! I am sorry about the subchronic clot/bleed. I have no familiarity with those. Is it just monitored? Or removed? Fx for your next u/s and appointment.
Met with the genetic counselor today and did the Panorama test. Just sitting on pins and needles now.
Upcoming milestones/Loss dates
Looking forward to reaching second tri soon. My daughter's due date would have been Aug 7. I am still grasping with a way to remember her on this day.

I saw nohalo on a license plate years ago when I was going through my divorce. It sort of just stuck since then. 21 is my birthdate.
Welcome to the board! I saw your intro earlier. Welcome, too, to first tri check-in! A lot of people struggle with when to tell people. I am a big blabbermouth but this time I was able to wait until about 8 weeks to tell everyone, which is 4 weeks later than my last too pregnancies. I think as long as you and Mr. Nohalo are on the same page and you are both comfortable, you should be okay. Do what feels right to you and you probably won't go wrong. I love your tortoise pic, too!
Just laying low this week. I'm feeling pretty good instead of totally miserable which freaks me out a lot. Also there has been some facebook drama lately which has kept me off of the internet (not me just some friends posting some things that can be hard AL).
I did a progesterone today and the numbers look great, most importantly no bleeding. I am counting the days to my NT scan and am nervous/afraid. I want to stalk my OB and have him do an U/S for me in the meantime so I can stop worrying. Obviously I won't jump out of the bushes at his office or anything but I have thought about it in my weaker moments. Don't worry, I won't do it I just know all of you would get a kick out of that admission. I don't want to have to bump from jail, LOL.
My SN is my name (Jackie) and my city (Chicago). So it is pretty straightforward.
Good luck and fingers crossed to all of you headed into your NT scans!!

@footprint I am such a blabber mouth. I'm surprised I have kept quiet this long. I started telling some friends today. I took this pic at the Philly Zoo. They are my favorite, along with turtles.
Sorry for the late check-in. We were in Mexico for the weekend for a wedding, which I'm considering my babymoon. But man, did I miss our little lady who had to stay home! We got back a day later than expected, due to storms in Philly (32 hours of travel...yuk!!) Today was the little lady's first day of day care and I'm back at work...I'm a bit of a mess, but loving it all. Just wishing I could have my coffee back!!

we just found out that my brother and two of our closest friends are all due within a month of us! I should be the first to go, but now that we are all out and happy together I'm really afraid of loss...more than before. But seriously, it's so f'ing exciting to be part of a baby boom among our friends!!
Appointments scheduled
I wait for two weeks to get my 12 week check-up, which will be when we "go global" with our news. Right now, only our closest friends know.

EDD is 2/25/2014, so I will be 10 weeks tomorrow, prune
Worries - My PGAL brain was doing really well the last two weeks, we saw the heartbeat at 8 weeks and the doc said everything looked great. I was having symptoms, which while uncomfortable made me feel like things were going well. I kept telling myself I am not going to worry until I see blood. But this weekend my symptoms went away, and I mentioned this to a friend yesterday and the first thing she asked was "are you worried?" I wasn't until she said that! Now I am worried. I know symptoms come and go... But I lost my symptoms first with the last two MCs, and I can't shake the worry. I don't have another ultrasound scheduled, so there is no relief in sight for the worries - so I bought a fetal doppler. I just hope I don't drive myself nuts if I can't find the heartbeat.
Upcoming appointments - next week we go in for the NIPT (I will be 35 at my due date), and the week after I go in for a paperwork-only appointment.
Milestones - my last milestone is coming up, four years ago I had a missed mc at about 8.5 weeks, after my first ultrasound (where i saw the hb and everything, though I was measuring about a week behind where I thought I should be). Didn't discover the LO had passed until 11.5 weeks when I went in for another appointment. So I am extra nervous now.
Screen name - one of my favorite summer veggies to grow combined with my birth year.
I'm thinking of all you ladies, good luck and peace to you.
