Any appointments coming up?  I had one yesterday and we got to hear the heart beat on the doppler. 

Rants/Raves/Questions?
We told my mom, sister, and niece about the pregnancy over lunch today. They were really excited. My sister even cried... We went shopping and went to see my brother and tell him to. I gave them permission to tell my dad when he got home. 

How are you doing? 
*tw loss, spotting, tmi*

After lunch I went pee. When I got to my parents house I went pee and had a bm. After driving an hour back to BILs I went to go pee again, but now I'm spotting. I was terrified of telling people early, and made dh wait. We've heard the heart beat on the doppler. We've seen the heart beat 3 times on the ultrasound. I thought we'd be okay. And now this. I'm freaking out. Mh is giving a present to MIL to tell her in an hour or so when she arrives from the airport. I don't want to tell him I'm spotting because I'm afraid he'll get angry and think I just don't want him to tell MIL which part of me doesn't want her to know yet anyhow. She can't keep a secret to save her life. We had unexplained spotting at 6 weeks that stopped, so I'm hoping hearing the heart beat yesterday is a good sign. But I can't deal with all of this anxiety.

I love hiking in the winter, there's a nice hike near where we live that the Canadian gray Jays will come and land in your hand and east bird seed and nuts and granola. It makes me feel like snow white.

@jhysmath spotting can be totally normal. How are you this morning?

Any appointments coming up? Anatomy scan 12/1. Nervous and excited.  It will be more detailed because of my risks so I am hoping everything is great and just longer so I can see her more.

Rants/Raves/Questions? it's too soon to be moaning about pain getting in and out of bed, and yet, here I am.

How are you doing? ok. The anatomy scan is making me nervous. I know quite a few people recently who have gotten bad news at their anatomy scan and I have a feeling like it's my turn.

GTKY:  What is your favorite outdoor activity for winter? nothing? I guess seeing Christmans lights but even then I want to be warm in a car.

@cups4 it stopped last night, but after a bm it happened again. I'm just crossing my fingers and holding my breath. The last time they didn't know what caused it and I spotted for 2 weeks. I'm hoping I'm just going to be one of those people who spot and nothing is wrong.

@jhysmath I'm glad the spotty stopped.  I agree with @cups4 that it can totally be normal. Try not to stress and keep us posted. I hope you have a nice visit and can enjoy sharing the news!!

@cups4 sending you positive thoughts for your anatomy scan. My husband would probably say "worrying and thinking be variety doesn't do you any good". So I thought I'd try to share that. I know it's easier said than done, but try to think positive

Midwife check in on December 7th. And then an ultrasound on December 21st. It seems so far away! But I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat again on the 7th for some reassurance
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm finally about 90% healthy with my cold being gone - hooray! I now can tell that my nausea is gone and my energy is higher than first trimester so that's exciting. I don't really have any questions but wondering how you're all doing in between appointments? I don't have a Doppler but I'm hoping that by feeling good and not stressing that this will carry me through to the next appointments
How are you doing? 
I guess I kind of answered this above but I'm doing pretty good for the most part. Feeling relatively positive and a lot more calm than the first time around
GTKY:  What is your favorite outdoor activity for winter? 
Snowshoeing!

I had one Tuesday. That morning I used our home doppler and got to heat the heartbeat! The OB we had for our appointment couldn't find the hb and DH panicked a bit, but I knew she was too low. She grabbed the portable u/s machine and we got to see bean bouncing around. Thank goodness I had that doppler or I would have panicked!!!

Rants/Raves/Questions?

None for now. Just glad to be unto 2nd tri with no issues. 

How are you doing? 

I'm doing well. It's sinking in that this time next year I'll have 2 almost 3 year olds and a 6 month old!!!

GTKY:  What is your favorite outdoor activity for winter? 

Drinking hot cocoa! I used to love to play in the snow, go sleeding, go skiing, but now I just want to be warm. 

It'll be fun this year to get the twins in the snow. We took them out a bit last year, but DS wasn't walking yet and neither were thrilled with the cold. 


@jhysmath, how are you feeling?  Do you maybe have a smaller hemorrhoid that could have gotten irritated by the bm?

jhysmath

I'm doing better, less anxiety since it hasn't happened again for over 24 hours. Doesn't mean I didn't hold my pee because I didn't want to check for about 6 hours yesterday and have made myself constipated because I don't want to go number 2 either.

Yesterday was full of distractions which was great and shopping today was good too. I'm just ready to head home and be done hanging out with bil and mil.

@jhysmath things still going well over the weekend? 

Has anyone heard from @justsuzie? It was mentioned before that she has been gone for a while. I'm hoping she is ok!

@babys_2018. I'm hoping she's just taking a break for her anxiety

@cups4 @babys_2018 I PM’d her and she’s taking a break because of anxiety. I got worried, too.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad she's doing what she needs to take care of herself and I'm so happy to hear she's ok!
