Congrats, sweetie!  I'm so happy for you!  You sure are sneaky, though. 

Yay for hearing the heartbeat!  That must have been a huge relief.

How have you been feeling?

Never mind, ignore the "how have you been feeling" part.  You answered in the other thread.  I didn't realize that I had asked twice.

LOL, thanks! Yeah, I'm not much for secrets, so this one has been KILLING me! And I haven't even told my parents yet! Aaarrraaggghhh! It's been so hard. We're telling them next weekend - on Mother's Day.

I answered you in the other thread, so I just copied and pasted what I wrote there. The only other thing I forgot to mention is that I'm absolutely craving apples. And almond butter. And apples and almond butter together. On apple cinnamon bread. And pretty much all sweet-tasting fruits - strawberries, rasberries, mango, grapes...

Anyway, here's what I wrote before: 

For the most part, I feel OK. I had some nausea on and off all week last week and I've been a lot more tired and winded than usual. My boobs were super sore early on (about a week before AF was due) all the way through 6 weeks, but they've let up some now. Mainly they just hurt at night now. Sometimes during the day I don't even feel pregnant.

I wasn't supposed to have my first ultrasound until tomorrow, but I was having some prettty persistent cramping and back pain on Thursday and Friday, so I called my doctor just to reassure myself that it was normal. They then wanted me to come in on Friday, which totally freaked me out, but they said it was just for labs, more to check my hcg levels and give me peace of mind than anything. Lo and behold after I get there (and wait a nervewracking 30 minutes in the waiting room), they call me back and lead me to the exact same ultrasound room I'd been in exactly 7 weeks to the day earlier, when I was miscarrying. Same time of day, same doctor, everything. It was the worst sense of deja vu ever. But then I saw the little bean and it's little flicker of a heartbeat and my left ovary with its corpus luteum cyst, and the doctor told me everything looked perfect. So that was a relief. I go back next Monday for another scan. Fingers crossed that everything looks "perfect" then, too.

GL with telling your parents next week.  How perfect that you get to do it on Mother's Day.
