Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
My first ultrasound is June 26. I had betas last week and they were all good!
QOTW: Does your SO treat you differently this pregnancy after your loss?
I haven't really noticed since I'm so early and we just found out. I think right now we're just both pretty scared of what could happen.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
This PgAL brain is getting the best of me. I'm just ready for that first ultrasound.

Dh treats me totally different this pregnancy than our first. I don't think he understood what I was going through physical or emotionally last time. This time I think he has a better understanding of those things and appreciates what I'm doing for our family more. He's also been very understanding of my anxiety in regards to this pregnancy and has been as supportive as possible. I also get more back rubs this time lol
I can't believe that in three weeks my baby will be here! Still the pgal brain never seems to go away and not a day goes by that I worry we won't get to bring her home. Hoping and praying that everything goes the way it's supposed to.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
I don't know yet, but I can't be more than 6wks... went to the Dr, yesterday for a blood test and got my BFP from her this morning...
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I will making my first u/s and a MFM appointments this week. This time around I'm going to be much more proactive earlier.
QOTW: Does your SO treat you differently this pregnancy after your loss?
Not noticeably yet because we just found out.. but he has already started to monitor my eating & morning sickness. Which I find cute.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
So much is on my mind... again this wasn't planned, so I'm not looking forward to anyone's two cents at all.. I'm trying to channel my SO for that one, he's all "It's our life, We'll handle it accordingly", which makes me feel lucky to have him.. The major feeling right now is pure fear and optimism (if that makes sense) lol
How far along are you?: 7 weeks today.
What size fruit is your baby this week?: I think a blueberry. I haven't kept track of fruit.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?: My next appointment and u/s is Tuesday. I was in the hospital last weekend for bleeding, and I'm so scared that I'm going to go in on Tuesday and everything will just be bad news.
QOTW: Does your SO treat you differently this pregnancy after your loss?: Sorta. He's much more cautious this time around, and so am I. He's really just feeding off of my cues. He's excited, but he's just as anxious as I am.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? PgAL brain sucks. I'm trying so hard not to think negative thoughts, but I'm just expecting bad to happen. I have to shake myself out of this.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? We had an appointment on Tuesday, and found out super early that this LO is a boy! The u/s tech said it was too early to tell, but said she would take a look...it was so obvious though she said she was sure he was all boy! Of course the most important thing is that he looked perfect and everything looked good with my cervix, but it was a fun surprise and with pgal brain always in full force it was nice to get a fun little moment.
QOTW: Does your SO treat you differently this pregnancy after your loss? Not really. He's pretty great and doesn't let me do much while pregnant, but he was like this last time too.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My mind is just racing. I just wish I could fast forward to November so I could be holding my little boy. Pgal brain sucks!
