  Hello ladies  Hope you are all enjoying the fall and doing well.

  
  

  We discovered last week that we're having a boy!  We didn't have a gender preference, but are ecstatic to know what it is.  We also found out that he is clear of Down's, and trisomy 13 and 18.  I am able to eat more foods and do more normal activities (and chores!) and my mood might be stabilizing, so I'm happy

  
  

  Have fun in London @Lady2010!

  Hi all!

  
  

  Coming up on 35 weeks here, and it's completely surreal. I still remember holding the positive pregnancy test and thinking "Holy crap..." and then all but dismissing this pregnancy as another blighted ovum when my numbers started low and didn't double in 48 hours (more like 61 for the first round, I think). And here I am, round as hell, and we're still nowhere near being ready for the new kid.

  
  

  In good news, my GD remains diet controlled, my blood pressure remains low, no ketones in my urine this week (score!), overall weight gain remains at less than 4 pounds, and I just signed off on the release form for trying a VBAC. We meet with the doula tomorrow night, and this weekend, we're off to IKEA to buy dressers for the nursery, which FINALLY has floors installed and should be painted by the weekend (nothing like the 11th hour). Still waiting on HR to get me my maternity leave paperwork, but trying to wrap things up here at work. I'm in the home stretch, and am starting to get panicking about, you know, how this baby is going to come out, and how I will handle two kids under 3, but above and beyond that, I am holding it together pretty well. Physically, my sciatica is a beast, and the crotch pain I'm rocking is no joke. But no swelling or anything else making me miserable. All in all, I am pretty lucky.

  
  

  So happy to see all these great updates this week. I love this check in! 

  Me: 42, DH: 40; Surprise BFP 4/27/2011; no heartbeat at 9w3d, we miss you, Baby Manatee; D&C 6/1/2011; AF returned 6/26/2011; Ready to try for our take-home baby. 7/24/2011--BFP! Peanut born March 2012; BFP: 7/31/2013!; blighted ovum at 7 weeks 8/26/2013. Holy Cannoli! BFP 2/23/2014. EDD 11/6/2014!

  @ProcessofBecoming Inspiring to read your little story! 

  
  

  BeckyP005  Hope you feel better soon!

  
  Lady2010 I'm jealous. We lived in London for a few years; my husband didn't really like it but I loved it and miss it quite a bit. (I don't mind the sunshine over here though!)
  

  
  

  Not much is new here: symptoms still come and go (constipation better, but acne worse than last week; very little bloat yesterday but felt exhausted, and today my energy is ok but i'm super bloated). Of course I try to overanalyze everything which leads nowhere. It's a real limbo rollercoaster, to badly mix metaphors.  First U/S is on Friday and I honestly don't know what to expect but obviously hoping for the best.

  Hi my lovelies....
  
  So, I had my 7w u/s today to see the heartbeat. Fetus was measuring 6w1d and the h/b was only 88. I'm really trying to stay positive but I'm really scared. I asked the RE what he thought and his words were "I'm happy with your progress but you're still no way out of the woods yet". So, now I can worry for another week before I go back again for another u/s. 
  
  Please keep me in your T&Ps. Can't stop crying...

  @Lesliem0901‌
  I would ask for another beta. I know for me dealing with a lowering beta was easier to deal with at home rather than learning of my loss in a sono room.
  Also it will relieve your stress if you see a nice increase in 2 days rather than wait 7 for another u/s.
  I'm all about lowering stress so you need to do what you think will be less stressful for you.
  I'm so sorry you are going through this and I wish it was easier for you. Hugs

  Hey, my favorite ladies!

  Let’s see…

   

  1) Morning sickness is STRONG, but I love it. Makes me feel like el bebe is growing well in there.

  2) I have no choice but to buy all new bras. At 6 weeks pg, I have already outgrown them. Ohhhh my…
  Needless to say, DH is lovin’ it.

  3) New cravings: bagels with cream cheese and Chinese food. Also—Rice Krispies cereal with tons of milk.

  4) I am now drinking either watered down juice, Pedialyte or iced tea because el bebe is picky and dislikes water!

  5) Next Thursday the 9^th I finally get to meet for the firs time the midwife. FX all goes well!

  So, I had my 7w u/s today to see the heartbeat. Fetus was measuring 6w1d and the h/b was only 88.
  
  Please keep me in your T&Ps. Can't stop crying...
  

  Just a thought: I know an average 6wk heartbeat is between 80-100. Do you think maybe the egg implanted later than expected, and you are really only 6w1d? 
  Either way-- my thoughts are with you.
