Congratulations!!! So so happy to see you here! Will just be over here holding my breath with you till Thursday. ❤️❤️❤️ I'm sorry YH is not much help for the time being. Mine was kind of like that too in the beginning - who am I kidding, pretty much the entire pregnancy. Lol it's so much harder for them to connect, like he is very much, he'll believe it when he sees it, meanwhile WE are the ones who are experiencing and feeling everything inside and out. (((Hugs))) keeping everything crossed for a beautiful H+H9mos and smooth sailing! 🎉🎉🎉

@Kimbrlyg814 Ah! GL Friday! So glad they are able to get you in and scanned with a better machine. 👍👍
- How far along/EDD? 9w4d, EDD 3/4/2021
- How are you feeling this week? Anxiously awaiting my first OB appointment next week.
- Rants/Raves? Questions? Wed, Aug 5 will officially be the last day of my PIO shots and estrogen!! Also we loved the daycare that we toured last week and put down a deposit to hold a place for our LO for this time next year on the spot.
- Any upcoming appointments? OB appt Tues, Aug 11.
- GTKY: What is your favorite thing about where you live? (Town / home itself) I live in South Jersey just outside of Philadelphia. The town I live in is small (~2 sq miles) and very walkable with a very quaint main street. All of the kids walk to school. I love everything about it so much.
@BusinessWife I hope that you can get the maternity leave sorted out before your due date. How stressful.@madasm0530 and @laurad75 Welcome! I'm happy to see both of you over on this board.
@cashewchicken Thinking of you tomorrow!
@Kimbrlyg814 So happy to hear they were able to accommodate you for another ultrasound this Friday. Enjoy!
@laurad75 SO happy to see you posting here!! This pregnancy I started with a low beta as well (it was spontaneous and i had no clue when I ovulated) but it was nerve wracking. I think my first beta was like 39 or something and the wait between each one and then the first US was so nerve wracking.

@laurad75 @madasm0530 @laurelew hi friends!
@cashewchicken Thinking about you today!
@BusinessWife I’m sorry you are dealing with maternity leave stress. Hopefully you can get it figured out quickly.
@JWatt5 Welcome! How did your first beta go yesterday?
The nurse called and said youre pregnant with a positive blood test, do you know the start of your last period. I told her I'll double check and while I did that I told her I'd used the digi ovulation tests and when it said I peaked and based on that I should be 5 weeks today. She said she didnt think I was 5 weeks per this beta so we'll do a repeat tomorrow morning and see then get a dating ultrasound done. but when I told her my LMP she kinda went oh ok. So, beta hell for one. Wait until Friday morning to see if it's going up or going down. I'm pretty nervous now.

I just had to say I saw a notification that @lucyb1954 mentioned my name and I came to take a look. I literally have tears in my eyes seeing you on this post! I'm beyond excited for you girlie! Keeping everything crossed for you! (hugs)
- How far along/EDD? 35w1d
- How are you feeling this week?Achy, tired, uncomfortable and overwhelmed. AND still not motivated to do a whole lot, which is bad. I'm running out of time! Also, baby is even more active (hard to believe) and I'm having to get up now two times during the night to go to the bathroom that's on top of the countless times I'm going throughout the day. And just contact kicks and jabs to my ribs and cervix.
- Rants/Raves? Questions? Rave - Contractors are finally here to work on the nursery and guest room remodeling.I'm so excited to get this going! ---- Rant - Contractors are finally here to work on the nursery and guest room remodeling. This means my upstairs looks like a freaking war zone! I still need to declutter. And I have ppl walking in and out of my house. So I'm trying to stay completely away from the 2nd floor. That I don't love at all. Stuff is adding up quickly (between the house and remodel) so we may need to cut back on what we were going to spend.
- Any upcoming appointments? Echo results tomorrow. OB and ultrasound on Aug. 11. I can't wait for the ultrasound!
- GTKY: What is your favorite thing about where you live? (Town / home itself) I do really like my kitchen. It was gutted and redone!
@BusinessWife - thanks for starting this post! I didn't get maternity pics either. Not official ones. My SO did some at home pics but that was it. I'm hoping to do family pics when baby girl is about 2 months.@madasm0530 - Welcome and congrats! I had a good workout routine before getting pregnant and then everything stop once I became pregnant (doctor didn't want me working out at all). And I haven't been able to get back into a routine the rest of the pregnancy. Question - How much do you love your Peleton? My SO wants one, I keep saying no. Lol.
@laurad75 - Welcome and congrats!!
@cashewchicken - How are you and baby?? Hope all is well.
@Kimbrlyg814 - Yay for no nausea! It feels so good when you finally get to that point! lol
@lauralew - Yay for no more PIO shots and estrogen!! lol
@mtpbadger - I hate the 2 am dances on the bladder!
@JWatt5 - Welcome and congrats!!

@31magnolia You have me chuckling with your rave and your rant. Contractors are such a necessary evil. We've had some work done on our house since we purchased 3 years ago and are currently waiting for our contractor to come out and give us an estimate on the rest of the work we want done. While we really like our contractor (great price and does a wonderful job) his time management skills are lacking. If we succeed in getting him out here before my due date (March 2021!) I will be thrilled. Best of luck with the work going on at your house. You'll have to share some pictures once everything has been completed.
How did everyone get through the nausea? I have B6 and Unisom and Seabands, but man, the nausea is much worse than I expected mostly because it's constant. I took Tuesday off of work because it was so bad. Blech!
@BusinessWife Just don't do what a photography client of mine did - changed her mind right after she went into labor and ran into my studio in a panic. Fastest photo shoot of my life!
@madasm0530 Welcome and congrats!
@laurad75 Welcome and congrats!
@cashewchicken How are you?!
@Kimbrlyg814 Omg. I feel you on that.
@lauralew That's an exciting milestone! If you are really struggling, talk to your doctor. I am 19 weeks and finally feeling human.
@JWatt5 Welcome and congrats!
@31@31magnolia I love my kitchen too. When we looked at houses, it was what first sold me on this house.
@lucyb1954 Weekly iv fluids, Zofran, Phenergan, and unisom and B6. Talk to your OB - they'll usually start you off with zofran if you are ill.

@ReesaAnne16 okay now I'm legit in tears. So excited for you!!! Congratulations!!!! I can hardly wait till you get that call Monday! ❤️❤️❤️
@ReesaAnne16 @lucyb1954 Welcome!!!! TB won't let you edit a post past 24 hours anymore, so just remind us of your EDD once Monday's check-in is up, and we can add you both to the list!
@JWatt5 This really is torture. I will keep thinking all the positive thoughts for your little bub! ❤️
@31magnolia omg, having the house torn apart is so stressful, but it will be worth it! DH is not working today (for once on a Saturday) so we are going through attic bins, clothes, donations etc so we can finally have some space to bring the baby things down. I already feel like it's breaking me lol
