@katydid2014 I'm pretty sure I implanted ten days post IUI based on temp dip. Any idea if that's a late implantation? My guess is that's normal-- but maybe it is a tad on the late end? I just don't know anymore.

I don't know if IUI changes it, but I think 7-10 days after ovulation is normal for implantation.

@luckystarz I didn't know you can buy a fetal Doppler. Is it expensive? Is it bad for the baby to use it. If I had one I would use it daily. Where do you get it?

I think they are roughly $50, and you usually can't reliably pick something up until close to the end of the first trip. They are not bad for the baby, though most studies on ultrasound/Doppler use have focused on ocassional medical use rather than daily home use. The sonoline b model is pretty popular and can be found a lot of places online.

I'm on mobile but will try to come back and respond to all. I read everyone's!

EDD: 3/20

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 4.4 Poppyseed

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically my boobs feel like they are going to explode. I cramp on and off but that's it. No nausea yet so yesterday I ate ALL the Hooters wings. Oh and I'm pooping lots (Hooters wings?) Emotionally I'm better every day that goes by and I'm not spotting. Still not one bit. My first beta was yesterday and was right on track according to beta base. My second is tomorrow so FX for doubling!

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: beta tomorrow and first appt Monday at 5w3d. Hopefully can get an ultrasound at 7-8 weeks

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? I'm not into sports but H is a die hard Oklahoma Sooners college football fan. So I have to root for them. I see you're a fan too @luckystarz‌!

marg81 · July 2014

Pregnancy Loss Background (if this is your first time on the check-in): After 6 years of infertility had first positive after IUI -- First beta numbers were great 2nd beta number started to drop. Was told to expect a miscarriage. This was January 2014

EDD (if this is your first time on the check in): 2/28/15

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 7 weeks 3 days (blueberry)

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Psychically feeling ok. I get worried that I may not have enough symptoms. Emotionally I have not allowed myself to be happy about this pregnancy yet. I 'm always holding my breath until the next appt. Even after seeing the heartbeat on Thursday 7/10 I got the call my progesterone levels were low (started POI everyday verses every other day). I'm just always waiting for the bad news. I can't wait to breath and enjoy pregnancy.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Friday 7/18 - Ultrasound and blood work.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? Not a real sports fan . I do enjoy seeing the Phillies play live at the ball park with my family.

Thank you for the welcomes!

kschref · July 2014

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 6 weeks today.

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I've know about this pregnancy now for about a week, and I feel like it's settling into my consciousness/emotions now. I'm still feather-brained. Just the other day I realized I should probably pick up some prenatals at some point. I'm feeling less scared over all and a lot less neurotic/obsessed with every little twinge than with my last pregnancy, but I'm still checking the toilet paper every. single. time. With my first m/c, I only had 1 tiny spot of blood - that was all the indication I had - and while I know if I saw a little spot again, it wouldn't necessarily mean the same thing, I still check. *sigh* Not sure if that will ever go away.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Nothing until first u/s with midwife August 1st.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team?

I'm not, but DH's family follow the Georgia bulldogs hard core. We are flying out for two games this year (never thought I'd be paying money to fly out to see college football - much less for a school I did not attendl). MIL is always sending us "little" Georgia trinkets - like a 3 foot tall statue of a bulldog that says "Dawg Country" and DS already has a crapload of Georgia clothing/hats/blankets/you name it. It gives everybody something to talk about and a team to root for, and I can't say I hate tailgating, so it can be fun and entertaining.

marchmom15 · July 2014

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? I love the Texas Aggies! Class of 03! Whoop! I also love the Texans and JJ Watt!

Howdy, Ag! Class of 2010!

kschref · July 2014

@missypups33 - I have a fetal doppler too - it saved my sanity during my last pregnancy. I traveled through Germany and Thailand during weeks 12-18 last time and took it with me. Any time I got nervous, I found the hb and it made me feel so relieved! Last time I found the Hb the day before week 9, I think. It can be so reassuring if you're a worrier like I am.

LesliW · July 2014

Gestation in weeks/fruit:Sweet Pea 6w5d

How are you feeling physically? I'm ok. Nauseous and tired. Boobs are getting better.
Emotionally? Had a scare yesterday. Woke up to a fair amount of blood, followed by spotting. The doc had me come in. Had betas and an u/s, pelvic exam.
U/S showed my little bean, with a hr of 125. I didn't ask if that was good, just glad he's still in there with all the bleeding. Beta was 84,000 and they said they don't plan to recheck as baby appears viable and healthy at this point. Is that odd? I'd think they'd recheck one in two days. They want to recheck me in a week.
Now everytime I pee I'm scared to death. But overall very relieved.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: 8-1-14 first official appt

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team?
I like all sports. I'm not really a big team fan for anyone. My husband is a die hard Steelers fan, so I have pot holders and cups with black n yellow...black n yellow...
Have a great week everyone!!!

wendyld · July 2014

@LesliW‌ betas are a great indicator that things are progressing very early on, but once you have made it to the point that you can see a HB on an ultrasound, that's a much better way to track progress. If the pregnancy didn't look viable, they would track decreasing betas as this point. Not needing to do them now is a good sign.

Julieed32 · July 2014

wendyld My u/s went great! They said the heartbeat looked strong and everything was right on track (even though it technically showed be a day behind). I am choosing not to worry about it until my next scan!

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 6W/6D

How are you feeling physically? I'm actually feeling better lately, I've sorta learned how to manage my nausea and while my boobs still hurt, I'm not noticing it as much anymore. I'm still exhausted all the time though and that is hard to deal with everyday.

Emotionally? I'm ok, just trying to not thinking about it, yeah right!

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My next u/s is on the 28th and I hope everything still looks great.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team?

I am not a sports fan at all.. unfortunately my husband is a fan enough to make up for my lacking! If I HAD to pick I would say college football because I enjoy tail gaiting before the games. Favorite team is Notre Dame by default as well!

lademur · July 2014

Thanks for checking in on me @SNLT1012 and @wendyld – I appreciate the support! It’s a busy day at work so I can’t respond to everyone but I have been reading through the updates. Best wishes to all of you who have appointments coming up within this next week, FX for anyone experiencing bleeding or spotting, and hugs to all who are struggling with the oh-so-fun blend of physical symptoms and pgal brain!

EDD: 3/15/15

Gestation: 5w2d/appleseed

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? My symptoms continue to be consistent, and have even increased a bit, which has been reassuring. Right now it’s mostly a mix of nausea, fatigue, very sore boobs, and extreme hunger mixed with random food aversions. Emotionally, it’s been a tough week since my DH and I had to put down our beloved 14 year old dog on Thursday night (unplanned and heartbreaking). Lots of tears and sadness that I don’t think can be blamed on the hormones. L

Upcoming milestones: Just wishing my July 25 appointment could get here faster!

GTKY: Favorite Sports Team – I am a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan. I grew up in WI and my DH’s family, also from Wisco, has season tickets. I’m only somewhat joking when I say that’s one of the reasons I married him. My parents are both originally from the Boston area, which is where most of my relatives still live, so my other favorite team has always been the Red Sox.

wendyld · July 2014

@lademur‌ I'm so sorry about your pup. That's terrible at any time.

ngolimento · July 2014

Pregnancy Loss Background: I lost a baby about 8 years back. I don't like to hash details in public, but it was the result of my inability to leave an abusive relationship.

EDD: . March 16 2015

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 5w1d. Appleseed I think.

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I'm having a lot of rlp, which doesn't make my nerves happy. Very occasional nausea, exhaustion all the time, and enough gas to make paul bunyan proud.

Emotionally I'm all over the place. I am excited, but I also had such a terrible pregnancy before that it's hard not to be anxious all the time. I am deeply relieved that I am still able to get pregnant after all that's happened. I'm so blessed to get another chance at this. A chance to do things right.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have my first prenatal on the 31st. I'm so excited!

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? Nooo to sports. I am a hardcore nerd

bralex2007 · July 2014

Wow there's so many of us it's hard to keep up!

Congrats @katydid2014 on the heartbeat!

Thanks @SNLT1012 and @wendyld for the check in.

I did get seen at 6wks according to LMP. At the ultrasound the yolk sac was only measuring 3.5-4 wks (I knew I ovulated late, but didn't think it was that late!) This stressed me out a little, but when I gave the NP the last possible date I thought I could have ovulated, she said it was within the margin of error (I wasn't charting, so it does seem reasonable). Hoping for the best but a little scared since this dating discrepancy is mimicking my last pregnancy. My betas are doubling though, so that's good!

I also started progesterone suppositories since my progesterone was a little low. They aren't as bad as I thought they would be! Although I'm definitely feeling more hormonal since I started them.

Gestation in weeks/fruit: Around 4 wks/ Poppyseed

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I'm mostly just exhausted and have to pee all the time. Emotionally I feel like I'm doing a little better. I feel like I go longer periods of time without thinking about losing this baby. I just feel like I have so long to go before I pass my loss milestone, and even though I am anxious to see a heartbeat, since our baby had one last time I'm afraid that won't give me much comfort. *Sigh*

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have another ultrasound scheduled for next Friday the 25th. Hopefully we'll get an actual due date then!

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? I am not a sports person. Like, at all. If my husband was into sports I probably would be too, but mostly we just wakeboard and snowboard.

spaceykatie · July 2014

Thanks for doing this, SNLT!

I just had my ultrasound 5 minutes ago. Still waiting to talk to the doctor.

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 6 weeks

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally?
So nauseous, so exhausted.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: just had my first ultrasound due to bleeding on Sunday. They found a heartbeat of 117 (I'm 6weeks 1 day, so she said this wasn't too low) and another large sch. She said it was a "big bleed" so... That doesn't sound great. But we'll just have to wait and see.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team?
Not really a sports fan, although I like any sport that involves beer, food and friends.

LiaMadi1 · July 2014

@Liamadi1 How are you holding up? Have you called your doctor about the bleeding yet? FX for you.

I'm doing alright for now...I just got home from my RE after my u/s. He isn't too sure what is going on because the machine wasn't the best. He said that the bleeding wasn't too out of the ordinary, but still a concern obviously. I have a 3D u/s tomorrow with him at a different location at 2:30. He said he saw kind of two sacs, so it may have been two babies and one was placed in a challenging spot and is causing the bleeding. I'm feeling optimistic at the moment and until I get a conclusive answer tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to just lay low and stay positive!

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 6 weeks/sweet pea

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? see above....bleeding, but trying to stay positive until I get a conclusive answer on the cause tomorrow.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: tomorrow I have a 3D u/s to get a better view of what is going on in my ute. In my previous 3 pregnancies, I never made it past 5/6 weeks so this bleeding has been kind of my MO, but we will see tomorrow.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? I love NBA basketball and could not be MORE EXCITED about LeBron's return to CLE!!

YellowBag · July 2014

Sorry I've been so absent the last couple days. Work has been crazy busy.

EDD: 2/28/2015

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 7/blueberry

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I definitely have nausea and fatigue. Emotionally, I'm not overly worried about a loss, but I'm definitely more mood-swingy.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: No appointment until August 5 unless I want one. I kind of wish I would have set one up for the 22nd because it seems like a long time before I will get to check on this kid again.

Hello ladies. I think I tried to post my intro at some point here, but it got cut off. I am primarily on mobile, and it's a bit of a pain.

In any case, I am thrilled to be 6W4D, and am really, really, really hoping for a happy ending. My loss story is that we TTC for 3 years, finally got pregnant through IVF (2 rounds) with twin girls, and I lost them at 21 weeks!! Brutal. Insane. Terrible. Words cannot describe. But I survived, and here I am, persevering, still hoping for the best. There are days when I still cannot believe that happened to us. It left me feeling like I have ZERO control over my life. It shook my faith to the core ("Why would God allow that?" Why ME?") and I still struggle with that. It makes no sense. I learned a few things about who my real friends are, and, more importantly, who isn't a friend. I keep seeing others that have surpassed their loss milestone here and I am a little jealous because mine is so far out! So I have to just be grateful day by day that I am still pregnant, and that I am strong enough to have faith and try again. Hugs to us all. I am really hoping for the best for all of us.

I hear you on the loss milestone being so far away. There are a few of us 2nd tri loss moms on here. It's rough, but one day at a time is all we can do.

Hi ladies this is my first checkin... I'm so thankful for this thread...

EDD: 3/17/15

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 5 weeks today/Appleseed

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I've been focusing in ine day at a time... Today was the exact length of pregnancy that I saw the first spots of blood. You could say I've been a little paranoid...

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: i just allowed myself to set my first appointment... Aug 8th meeting with a nurse for the first appointment. Should I be booking something else??

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? We LOVE basketball and baseball.... We live in Minneapolis and the Allstate game is here TONIGHT... It was so much fun downtown at work today!!

wendyld · July 2014

@jessuhmarie‌ If you can't master hope right now, then I'm going to hope for you. I hope so much that you are wrong and that little babeh is growing away. Don't give up, friend.

wendyld · July 2014

@brown101‌ it sounds like you have the appt covered. They'll help you schedule whatever comes next. Good luck getting through this milestone. Right now you are pregnant and have no indication that anything is wrong.

DevonBedford · July 2014

Hi all! I'm finally checking in!

Pregnancy Loss Background (if this is your first time on the check-in): see siggy

EDD (if this is your first time on the check in): March 11th

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 5w6d

How are you feeling physically? Like a bag of crap! Nausea has really ramped up the last couple days. That and extreme exhaustion. This is my fourth time going through 1st tri (I don't really count my ectopic as I had no symptoms at all), and I have never in my life been this tired!
Emotionally? Up and down. I'm really trying to be positive. I finally called my OB today and teared up just saying the words "I'm pregnant". After our late loss this past winter, this is going to be a tough go for awhile.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: none yet. Should hear back from my OB office tomorrow about my first appt.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team?
Not a huge sports fan, but I always jump on the band wagon during the playoffs. Gotta root for the home team - Blue Jays, Maple Leafs, Raptors, etc.

nannabee21 · July 2014

@jessuhmarie‌ Don't count yourself out yet. Every pregnancy is different. FX that you get good news Monday and you can stop worrying!

JCWhitey · July 2014

Ugh. Yes and no to the insurance debacle. We moved from CA to MN and got new jobs so our insurance had to change. We had to do 30 days at the new jobs to get on their insurance. Well, i guess since Obamacare happened you have to have insurance so we were automatically signed up for State insurance. However kids can get on work insurance before the 30 days (also because of Obamacare, I think). So my son is on once insurance and my husband and I are on another until August 1st. Then we will all be on the same plan. Luckily my doctor accepts both my current and future insurances so we went ahead and made my confirmation appointment. I also discovered that my new insurance has a great program where I will get gift cards just for going to my prenatal appointments! A total of $150!!!!

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 4 weeks/poppyseed, I think!

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Feeling GREAT! I'm so thrilled to have morning sickness and RLP. I might complain a bit, but I keep reminding myself these are good signs that Little Sprout is growing!

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Got my confirmation appointment scheduled for July 28th!

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? YES!!! FOOOOOOOOTBALL!! The American version. :P I am a huge Packers fan. Funny story- I grew up in MN so I've been a Packers fan for a while, but since moving to CA I had to seek out Packers fans. Then my hubby and I moved to Chico and when we got up there I kept seeing Packers stuff EVERYWHERE. Turns out that's Aaron Rodger's hometown and so there were a ton of Packers fans. I finally got to be among fellow fans again. Now that I'm in MN I just have to be careful not to walk into a Vikings bar. Lol!

Mkovsky · July 2014

Pregnancy Loss Background (if this is your first time on the check-in): had a MMC January 22, 2014. D&C the following day. Should have been almost 9 weeks measured less than 7 and no heart beat.

goofygoff · July 2014

@SNLT1012 Thank you for asking! I did schedule my first appointment. Details below.

@wendyld Thank you! I am slowly moving more towards excitement. It helps that H is getting more excited and involved, as well.

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 7w4d/blueberry

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically, I'm still exhausted. That's definitely my most persistent symptom. Also, I pulled a ligament in my knee when I was in Portland this week. So I'm on crutches for at least a week. Everything seems like it takes more effort, which isn't helping. Haha.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have an appointment with the high risk clinic on Tuesday. They are going to assess whether or not I am to be a patient of theirs or go back to my regular OB. I'm really hoping this appt. involves an u/s.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? Football is my favorite sport, by far. I'm a huge Niners fan, which is awkward since I live in Seattle. I'm also a SF Giants and Seattle Sounders fan.

kaydedid · July 2014

Loss history-had an IUD put in a few months after getting married in dec '11. Took a pregnancy test every month or so just to be absolutely safe. October '13 got a BFP. I was also on Paxil, and not my healthiest. Beta at 5 weeks was 585, never got higher, and ultrasound showed only an empty sac. Didn't finish the miscarriage (long period-type bleeding) until mid-January, even though betas were around zero by early December. Had an absolutely terrible OB-I found out for sure that I would miscarry when the nurse called after my second blood test with the 'good' news that my levels were down. Since this was all new to me, I vaguely remembered that they were supposed to go up, to which she replied, "well, in a normal pregnancy, yes. But in your case it's good because it means your body will get rid of it by itself, and we won't have to bring you in for surgery." "So the baby isn't going to make it?" ...(long pause) "yes (said very condescendingly)."

EDD-3/12ish

Gestational age/fruit- 6 weeks/sweet pea (just finished harvesting these from the garden, too bad they make me feel sick!)

How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
Very nauseous, yet sometimes hungry. Eating does nothing but make me more nauseous. Get tired out easily-frustrated, because there's so much gardening I want to do! My five and six week betas (exactly 1week apart) were 593 and 12028, so far so good! Was really nervous about the second beta, glad it was so good.

Upcoming appointments-nothing until about 10 weeks (found a new OB). Then will have nurse consultation(8/11), ultrasound (8/15), and doc visit (8/17?)

Sports-grew up in an artistic/ musical family, mom listened to Cubs on the radio. Currently live in Packerland, and try to avoid the mass hysteria (awesome if you like football, but I just don't get it).

maisonduchoco2 · July 2014

@kaydedid‌ people can be so insensitive. I can't believe you had to deal with that. Hugs.

@Mkovsky‌ We sadly have the same loss date. January 22. Ugh. I wish to erase that day from the calendar. This year will be better, for both of us. ❤️

Kwunder16 · July 2014

Pregnancy loss background: found out we were pregnant end of Feb 2013. The end of march we went to visit DH's sister in California. A few hours after we landed I started spotting. 3 days later I MC. Had to fly back to Illinois the next day, passed out on the plane and spent the entire flight laying on the floor in the back of the plane. Thank goodness for a wonderful doctor on board who kept a close eye on me. We were 8 weeks along.

EDD march 6th

7 weeks/blueberry

I am feeling very nauseous and tired. I know I shouldn't complain about being nauseous since I was not at all with my pregnancy I lost but it still stinks! Keep reminding myself this is a good thing!

I have my first ultrasound Tuesday and am nervous and excited! Will be telling parents after if all goes well!

I am a Chicago girl so Cubs, Blackhawks, bulls and bears!

I'd also like to join the pgal check-in

!!

Pregnancy Loss Background (if this is your first time on the check-in): I got pregnant around Christmas time, and got my BFP in early January, EDD of Sept. 16. At our 19 week US we were told baby had no HB, and were diagnosed with a late missed miscarriage....

EDD (if this is your first time on the check in): 3/25

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 4 weeks 4 days / poppyseed!

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Well physically I'm just exhausted. I'm feeling queasy, like I know the nausea will hit soon. I wasn't nauseous with my DS but with my second pregnancy I was so I know this will bring back a lot of emotions... Which brings me to emotionally. I'm ok most days, been busy planning a sell/move so I don't focus on the pregnancy so much, but I'm so scared I will be losing this other child.

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: Calling my doctor on Monday, and I'm expecting an earlier US around 7-8 weeks. Not sure if he'll have me go in beforehand.

GTKY -- On this date waaay back in 1876 baseball's first no hitter was pitched! Are you a sports fan? What's your favorite sport/team? My husband is the biggest sports fan...especially hockey and baseball. He likes the Blue Jays for baseball and for hockey the Ottawa Senators (we're from Canada!). I love hockey the most and am a Montreal Canadiens fan

Pregnancy Loss Background: First Pregnancy- positive UPT in Dec 2012, 6 week miscarriage in January 2013. Second Pregnancy: positive UPT in Fall 2013, betas were on the low side but doubled appropriately, saw the heartbeat on ultrasound at 6 weeks. Then at the 10 week US, found to have MMC. My OB kind of glossed over my because I am a physican and told me "well you can let it pass naturally and violently , or you can have a D&C, I'm sure you are well aware of what that entails from medical school, so it's your choice" then left the room. I am a PCP, my last OB rotation was 8 years ago, and I'm not sure I ever saw this procedure, but whatever. So he comes back in and asks if I had made a decision and I asked what he would recommend. His response was "It's really your choice, either way is a reasonable option, but if you aren't convinced its a miscarriage we an repeat the US in a week to reassure you". I was in shock emotionally and couldn't make a decision, a week later I started bleeding heavily in the middle of my office (started while examining a 14 year old BOY, poor kid!). It progressed rather quickly (4-5 pads and hour, so I ended up having an emergency D&C. Not a single colleague, co-worker or family member called to check on me the next day, and to top it all off, my cat died that same week and our Christmas tree broke (think: Boom! stand broke in half, tree/needles/ornaments/lights in floor!) all in the same week. Needless to say, 2013 is referred to as the Annus Horribilis around here. I am still bitter and resentful towards my colleagues and co workers, and haven't gotten over it. EDD (if this is your first time on the check in): Gestation in weeks/fruit: How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: GTKY: Born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, which means there is really only one sport (basketball) and one team University of Kentucky Wildcats (two teams if you count the womens Hoops team)! We live and breathe college basketball around here, year round, and come March/April the crazies are known to burn couches! Go Big Blue! Big Blue Nation!
