Re: Grad check in 12/18
I just got in the big brother tshirt for my son to wear to my family's house Christmas night. We're telling my parents Christmas morning. Their present was just shipped to me. It says "the only thing better than you as my parents is my children having you for grandparents". I'm going to see if they figure it out before I show them the u/s.
How have you been? And all the other grad ladies? Anyone else planning on a Christmas announcement?
I'm 4w and feeling well, other than sore boobs and some minor tugging and cramping that is normal for me in early pregnancy. I'm ravenously hungry, but only slightly more so than usual. My first u/s and OB appt. is on 1/7, which can't come soon enough. Just trying to take it one day at a time and stay positive.
@Jenniferk08, glad to hear things are looking good for you. We're visiting DP's sister for the holidays so we told her bc she and her husband would know something was up if I'm not drinking. They were very excited for us. I also just told my sister bc she was the only family member who knew we were trying. Will probably keep it on the DL otherwise until we get to 12 weeks. Seems so far away....

I'm 6w5d today. I had my first ultrasound last Thursday at 6w. We got to see and hear the heartbeat 105bpm)!! Amazing! They said the bean was measuring one day off and I asked if it was a day ahead or a day behind. They simply said, "it doesn't matter" and went on to say that everything was right on track so I'm going to try to not worry (easier said than done!). They are releasing me to obgyn so I guess it's really official now!
I just spent over 16 hours in the car yesterday and today driving up to Maine with DH and boy was it rough! The nausea is soooooooo bad but I'm rejoicing in the fact that surely this must be a good sign that things are growing strong!! But how do I keep it a secret from family when I feel like crap literally all the time?????
So excited that so many of us are graduating just in time for the holiday season! Praying and hoping more of you join us soon!!! Happy holidays everyone!!!

@Jenniferk08, I'm having an u/s on Wednesday and announcing to my family on Christmas as well!
@jilligan14, a day off is nothing. Ultrasounds have a margin of error bigger than that. And I could.not.imagine driving for 16 hours with nausea. You are a trooper. I've been avoiding my parents because it's so hard to hide how sick I feel. I'm going to tell them and my sister's family first thing Christmas morning so I can be myself for the rest of the day. It's going to be amazing to finally get that secret out!
I'm thinking of joining the Pregnant After 35 board. We're racking up bfp's over here, so I think we could make that board more active again. It was kind of slow when I checked it out. More posts would lure more people.

RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

@CarrieandRoy - I'll join you on the Pregnant > 35 board soon. I'm just waiting for my second beta and then I'll intro.
I agree @CarrieandRoy the pregnant after 35 board had very little activity so I don't venture there often but if many ladies from board are heading over so will I.
Good luck to all of you ladies!!!!
Right now my EDD is 8/13.
Congrats on the heartbeat @jenniferk08 !

As for my update: 17 weeks and doing well. I'm starting to get nervous in anticipation of my anatomy scan next week, probably because I study birth defects for a living so I know a bit too much.
