In happier random news, I just saw a humming bird just out my window, it was trying to eat my windchimes.

I'm disapointed I couldn't get a picture, but it was neat.

You never know what will come your way if you take a moment to just look.

Oh @wendyld‌, I am so sorry

Sending thoughts and love to you.

@wendyld‌ I'm so sorry for your loss. It just isn't fair. Big hugs!

For anyone who needs a laugh.... My kid is suppose to be napping, instead he is doing gymnastics in his bed & singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame".

meowkitten · August 2014

I am so sorry for you loss Wendy. I have been so heartbroken the last few days over so many March mama losses

DH keeps asking me if I'm okay and I just can't. Breaks my heart.

@WinningColors @cinnamonlatte @nannabee21 So glad you guys had great ultrasounds today!

Today was my first day with kids at school...it actually went great! I work in a special needs inclusion classroom so the first week is usually pretty hectic but all of the kids did a wonderful job.

We told his dad about the wedding and the baby! He was very happy and was the only person in either of our families to ask us to have a reception.

4RingCircus · August 2014

@chrain. I'm sorry recovery is giving you such a hard time. I wish I could bring the Gilmore Girls series over to watch with you.

@wendyld‌ I'm glad you told him that. Taking care of yourself comes first.

@goofygoff‌ I'm glad baby is doing well.

@wendyld - I can't imagine having company over while recovering from a loss Are you going to cancel? Will you tell them what just happened? So sorry you're having to deal with that on top of all of this.

I don't know. They think they are coming to celebrate his mom's birthday with us, so he doesn't want to be all "happy birthday! Here's some shitty news!" I'm not up for putting on a happy face and pretending everything is ok though, so I told him to cancel it or tell them.

Yea, no way should you have to go through that. I would cancel and tell them why. You will likely need to rest all weekend.

I'm so sorry for your loss Wendy

it's so hard to imagine what you are going thru!

Question: has anyone started work in the nursery? I picked up paint samples today and painted them on the wall, we want to get an early start because the room we are putting the peanut in needs A LOT of work and I don't want to be painting in December. I'm scared that if I get too ahead of myself, it will end badly.. Ugh any advice will be great!

We dropped a ceiling fan since we don't have AC. We have also chosen paint and will start priming this weekend; I'm with you, I don't want to paint in the winter.

My random:
my dog is bugging me. Everyday when I get home from work, I get him out of his crate and take him outside while I get the mail.
He inevitably finds a stick and goes and lays down in the backyard, so I hook him up to his line (we don't have a fence, but it's a 50ft line, he's has plenty of room to run) and go inside. Before I'm inside for 5 minutes he's whining to come in. He eats, or just lays around for a minute, and then asks to go back out. Oy.

I haven’t been around much because I had to reinstall the app on my phone and can’t remember my freaking passcode. I’ve asked for it to be emailed to me at least 50 times but haven’t got anything yet. Luckily, I stayed logged in on my work computer so at least I can bump from here until I can get someone from TB to help me out.

I am so sad about our recent losses. @wendyldchrain – I am so very sorry you have to go through this. I don’t know if you realize how much support you have given to the women on this board. My heart is broken for you both.

@WinningColors @cinnamonlatte @nannabee21 - so happy you guys had great ultrasounds today!

I’m weaning off Estrace and Progesterone shots and have been worried. I don’t have a lot of confidence in my body – it seems to let me down a lot. I just got the results from my blood draw from this morning and my levels on the lowest dose of progesterone are almost as high as they were on the high dose which means I have a functioning placenta! I guess I need to trust my body more – maybe it can do this on its own. I’m going completely off progesterone and estrace tomorrow and, if things look good on Friday, I officially graduate from my RE. It’s bittersweet and pretty terrifying. They are my safety net.

Sorry folks, I didn't mean to ruin the randoms thread. Let's talk about other stuff too, ok?

Wendy I am so sorry for your loss! Please know you are in our thoughts and we all hope for a speedy recovery. All the creepy internet hugs to you!

>:D<

9 pages later I am finally caught up! I've been so busy today! I swapped offices with a coworker plus I had to teach a job-related class this morning, which took up most of my day. Then when I finally sat down to eat lunch I got interrupted so many times I finally gave up and just went back to work. Also, I switched job titles today. My boss has decided to make me into a hiring machine. My new title is Executive Administrator. Fancy, right?

It is so saddening to see you ladies going through this! I am keeping all of you in my prayers.

While I was making dinner last night, I felt a gush and rushed to the bathroom. Bright red blood. I started crying hysterically, because this is how my last m/c began. With the state I was in, neither D or I could stand waiting, so we decided to go to the ER (which, thankfully, is 2 blocks away).

The u/s showed a heathy, bouncy (like Tigger bouncy), baby with a HB of 163. They also found an intramural fibroid in my left anterior fundus. It's about 2.52 cm. Dr. Google is really no help in reassuring me that this won't affect the baby or pregnancy, but luckily I have an appointment with my OB on Wednesday. My placenta is forming posteriorly, so I'm hoping that means it won't be an issue.

Good luck. I hope everything is ok.

PuppyLove84 · August 2014

Fuck. I finally made it online today and now I almost wish I hadn't. I'm so, so sorry @wendyld. This is so unfair. I hope it goes ok telling your son and your in-laws, should you choose to do so. I'm so sorry.

Just got a call from the dr office about my ultrasound last week. She said they saw some blood on the ultrasound which will most likely reabsorb so try not to worry. She said there is nothing I can do about it at this point anyway and that if I started bleeding I need to call ASAP. She kinda freaked me out. Anyone have experience with this?

My doctor told me the same thing at my appointment today. She left out anything close to the bolded part, though. She said it was very common and not to worry about it, but just to be aware in case I experience bleeding. I haven't had any cramping or bleeding so personally I'm not too concerned.

Hopefully it's nothing and resolves itself.

Sorry for that scare! that must have been terrifying! I'm glad Tigger is ok!

Just caught up after our big staff meeting.

@Wendyld I'm so so sorry to hear this. ((hugs)) and thoughts and prayers being sent to you!

kevinslove · August 2014

I won't be able to bump much because I started back for Professional Development today. I hope all of the other appointments went good today. That lady in the panorama thread is clueless and does not have any empathy.

My OB found this as well. I had minor red spotting the day before my ultrasound. He told me he found a "pool of maternal blood" on the u/s which was likely the cause. He told me not to not worry if I experienced more bleeding, but it may also absorb into my body. No more spotting so far so I assume it absorbed. I would follow your OB's instructions, but also wouldn't panic if some spotting occurred.

I had my 12 week check up and ultrasound. Baby was waving to me! I am still waiting for my NIPT results from last week but there was a nice nasal bone present today.

I just got on today, worked gymnastics camp all day.

@wendyld‌ My heart is breaking for you. I'm sitting in my couch crying here. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself.

Love so far! Blue is my favorite color too. I ended up making my daughter's room an "under the sea" theme. I'm going to have both kids in the same room so I'm glad I stayed with the neutral pallet.

Agreed! I thought some were obviously inaccurate. But it gave me a chuckle.

On the radio this morning, they were talking about an app that a mom invented because she could never get her children to check in when they were supposed to. Every time the parent calls and the kid doesn't answer, the app locks the phone and gives them 2 options. They can either call 911 if they are in trouble, or they can call their parent back. Nothing else on their phone works until they call their parent. I thought that it was a very genius idea and would like to get that app for my husband's phone. One time my car broke down and I tried calling him for an hour straight, and he never called me back. I was furious! If we had the app installed, I'm sure he would have called back

. I took my back up antinausea because my zofran wasn't cutting it. Within 5min I threw up and clearly saw the pill. Now it's trying to decide if I can take another, or if I have to wait. All I've kept down today is half a glass of water and 2 left over pancakes. I really, really don't want to have to go in for fluids.

That really sounds like to me that you really need to talk to the Dr hun

that's not enough to keep down all day

I hope you feel better soon, I hate that you're suffering this much

Most days are better than this. I talked to a friend who is a nurse and took another pill. I'm really hoping that does the trick.

Sadly in my Podunk town the only option for on call is ER or call L&D. My OB had admitted me for fluids to L&D before, but I have to be able to get her. The ER is terrible. Last time they gave me one bag if fluids and sent me home. I was admitted about 12 hrs later.

Just got home from a date night with my husband. We dropped off our son at his hourly daycare and went to see "The Giver" at my favorite movie theater. We watched it in a director's suit that has about 30 big comfy recliners, and serves food and concessions like a restaurant. The movie was pretty good, a few small things bugged me since I loved the book but overall was a fun night out.
