How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
QOTW: How have you handled negativity from other people through this pregnancy (either in regards to your pregnancy or through complaining about their own.) For those of you that work (and work knows), how has your workplace/coworkers reacted?
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Appointment today at 4pm.
QOTW: How have you handled negativity from other people through this pregnancy (either in regards to your pregnancy or through complaining about their own.) For those of you that work (and work knows), how has your workplace/coworkers reacted? We are not yet out to anyone but family. I thought I would be really irked with pregnant women who are complaining, but this second pregnancy is kicking my butt. With my first, I had all the pregnancy symptoms, but nothing bad at all. So far this time, I cant keep my head out of a toilet for long... So I have some compassion. But, there are still some people that really get to me, and I just want to give them a reality check.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? We are putting in an offer on a house today. We are really really hopeful (t&ps appreciated). I have been thinking about how to incorporate Elsie into a new place and also prepare for this new little one.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? My second ultrasound is a week from today. I am soooo nervous and praying we see a baby and a HB.
QOTW: How have you handled negativity from other people through this pregnancy (either in regards to your pregnancy or through complaining about their own.) For those of you that work (and work knows), how has your workplace/coworkers reacted? My co-workers don't know yet for the very reason I don't want to hear any judgement (wow you'er pregnant again already) or any comments that imply I'm over my loss since I've got a new one on the way. My SIL has been a little negative regarding bed rest. I am certain I'll be on it at least for a little while at some point and I was trying to plan to figure out what will happen with work. She keeps telling me not to worry (not worrying, just being prepapred) and sending me articles about how bed rest is an outdated practice, to which I wholeheartedly disagree.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Just anxious about my ultrasound, praying Boo is doing well.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I had my first appointment with my MFM yesterday. They did a full ultrasound [almost like they did an anatomy scan], and it was incredible to see a growing baby with a strong heartbeat, ten fingers, ten toes and all the other parts.
QOTW: How have you handled negativity from other people through this pregnancy (either in regards to your pregnancy or through complaining about their own.) For those of you that work (and work knows), how has your workplace/coworkers reacted? My coworkers have been so thrilled for me [and were happy I decided to try again after my last loss]. I really haven't faced any negativity. I've been pretty open about my loss and how it's affected me, and I think sharing my story has led to so much support for me during this pregnancy. I have lots of cheerleaders!
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Even though things looked great yesterday, PgAL brain just won't settle. I also started to spot again this morning [after not spotting for more than a week], so I'm trying to take it easy and drink more water. I see my regular OB next week, thank goodness; I just hope I make it through to the end in one piece. I'm so grateful Baby Sweet Pea looks great, though.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
23w5d; grapefruit?
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Just my weekly progesterone injection

I smile and walk away if said in person and ignore if written. I say a lot of nasty things in my head and DH and I will vent to each other sometimes. Work knows but just recently and I work from home so if they're saying things I don't hear them. I did have a co-worker email me and ask me if we had a video monitor and if we didn't, if we were going to and then tried to tell me all about them. DH is in IT so believe me, I could school her on them and 2) we're doing that along with every other type of paranoia alarm system/alert system we can get our hands on, I don't need people who haven't walked in our shoes telling me what we should or shouldn't do.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Corbin a lot and his little sister. DH and I actually had a pretty lengthy discussion over the weekend about a lot of things. We tend not to talk about this pregnancy and neither one of us really knows why.
In memory of Corbin Scott 10/28/11-12/3/11. Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind Heaven got a little better the day it took you away from me Missing you tonight, see you again sometime For now I'll close my eyes and dream of heaven tonight I'll love you forever I'll like you for always Now and Forever My baby you'll be

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? No appts, our next one is Aug 14th. But my EDD is coming up in Aug 10th and I feel the anxiety and sadness creeping in.
QOTW: How have you handled negativity from other people through this pregnancy (either in regards to your pregnancy or through complaining about their own.) For those of you that work (and work knows), how has your workplace/coworkers reacted? I really haven't experienced any negativity. We told a bunch of people very early on because I needed the support. Everyone has been very happy for us and been full of well wishes.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I realized this Saturday when I moved to 8 weeks that I am on the same week schedule as last pregnancy. I would have been 38 weeks last Saturday with Alice. That was a hard realization. Plus with my EDD coming I just want to cry all the time.

No one knows except our parents and they were all thrilled. I'm not "out" to work yet, so I'm nervous about how they'll react, especially my boss. I usually just shake my head and look away when I hear other PG women complaining. The things that get me the most are when women talk about the end of the first trimester as being "safe" or viability as "safe." In my mind I just want to scream "There is no such thing as safe! Your baby could die at any time!" But instead I just turn the other way and try to ignore them.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I had an u/s done yest at work. Nothing official but the radiology tech looked for me. She has a reading of a week behind what my edd says. She found the heartbeat, it was 120 for being that far along she said it was normal. I also had my nurse appointment today. They tried to be sensitive with talking about my late loss. Next step is to schedule my a/a and blood work. I am having every testing that can be done.
It burns my chest when pregnant people complain and say how miserable they are. I will live in misery all the time if I could just have her safe inside me again.
Trying to cope with my friend having her baby. I'm not doing well on that.
