Rant/rave/symptoms: Had my first u/s yesterday. There was only a yolk sac to be seen of course, but we saw the right things in the right place. Going back in three weeks when we'll hopefully see a heartbeat. I love Belgium with all it's redundant appointments!

Rant/rave/symptoms: rave: I finally slept like a million bucks last night! Felt so nice after not being able too all week. Rant. DH's mom just told me his family is coming into town for a beach day Sunday. We are telling my MIL Friday but I just really don't want everyone knowing until we hear the heart beat in 12 days! Not sure what we are going to do since his mom will probably be bursting with joy to tell everyone (first grand baby)

Rant/rave/symptoms: I started spotting a little bit yesterday afternoon. It was brown CM. I know this is normal and it was in small amounts, but it's still hanging around and it freaks me out regardless. I'm waiting it out to see what happens but I am anxious for it to go away. I had another stressful, vivid dream last night. It was about suffering a loss. Terrifying, yet not surprising that was the subject matter given my concerns started last night. This morning there was a spot of pink on the pantiliner I slept in. Just one spot. Doesn't seem to have returned in the past hour and a half. Crossing my fingers and thinking positive thoughts!

Once I actually fell over in our bathroom and crack the lid on our toilet seat. Suggestions? Also, are we supposed to answer all the daily check-ins or only on the day we reach a new week?
