My first ultrasound was last week. The baby was measuring a week behind (7 instead of 8) and no heartbeat. They gave me orders for a blood test to confirm the loss, which I had done Thursday and Saturday. I called the office this morning to make sure they'd received the results, which the nurse said they had. I am now waiting, not very patiently, for someone to find the time in their oh so busy day to just pick up the dern phone and call me.
I get that this is normal for them. I get being a little insensitive or worn down or cut off emotionally, because it's something that they see more than they should have to. But it's not normal for me. I have two boys, 3 & 4, who had no complications. I am 30 years old, healthy, in moderately okay shape, and I have never miscarried. I still haven't, to be technical about it, and I still feel pregnant. Not an ounce of bleeding or spotting, normal cramps and things, but no indication something went wrong. Because of this, I am hanging on to hope that they misdiagnosed. I wish they could just call, ease my mind either way. [/pityparty]
Last night on our way back from Massechusetts we stopped at McDonald's, I got a cheeseburger plain just ketchup, I then completely drenched the burger in more ketchup and then poured buffalo sauce all over it, I then ate the leftover buffalo sauce, and while doing this I'm saying to my DH that some pregnant people get heartburn during their pregnancy and that I hope it doesn't start tonight. It was delicious, I'm pretty sure I dreamed of that burger last night. I could tell I really grossed DH out, he was like you really need to stop doing that ha ha

Smom901316 I'm right there with you, except I'm worrying about adding a third. I've seen so many people lately say that it was harder to go from 2-3 kids than it was from 1-2. Greeeeeaaaaat. But I agree wholeheartedly with @skruhmin about giving your kid a best friend. I've been so sick this pregnancy and feeling so guilty about not spending a ton of time with my kids. But they have each other! They have a blast playing together and entertaining each other. It's always an adjustment at first, but you'll figure it out!! (That's what I tell myself for the 3rd at least! Haha.)

Seriously wondering if I could get a doctor's note saying that I need to avoid my MIL at all costs during this pregnancy. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure triples whenever she's around!
I was absolutely distraught yesterday when the dog ate all the blueberry muffins yesterday (including the paper wrapping and plastic bag they were in!) and I didn't have anything for breakfast. So DH took me to IHOP instead. Score!

Earlier I was obsessing about wanting a blueberry muffin but for some reason now I really want mcdonalds which I never want or have! Apparently your combo sounds good to me.
So far since learning I was pregnant I have broken the button off of two pairs of my pants. Mind you they were hanging on by a thread and were on their way out, but it is going to give me a complex.

If I am not stuffing my face I am nauseous. Gum worked for about 30 minutes, but NOPE - nauseous again. It's going to be a loonggg month+ til the second tri.
My next doctors appointment is Friday and it can't get here soon enough! We had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and everything looked good, but it's funny how the anxiety starts to build the further you get from the last appointment. I remember it getting easier once you could consistently feel the baby move but these first few months are tough. Bring on Friday!

Yes! I was just thinking about how it'll be so nice when I can feel movement to reassure myself that everything's ok! I had an ultrasound at the ER on Friday, called my Dr's office to follow up today and they want me to come in for another ultrasound on Thursday. I'm sure they're just being proactive and want to double check that the ER doc didn't miss anything, but now I'm nervous again!!

I would love to buy a Doppler this pregnancy! Where's the best place to buy?
On a side note, I *thought* my MS was going away... The past two weeks I've had mild MS, but anything was better than the 24/7 crap I was having weeks 6-10... I'll be 12 weeks on Thursday and I just started gagging on my prenatal vitamins again, and the THOUGHT of food makes me want to puke... Yaaaaaaaaaaay. (Side eyeing myself)

Same!!! I cannot wait for my next appointment on Monday! It will have been over four weeks and it's so nerve wracking! Fx I hear my LOs HB!
We had a stand up AC unit, one of the tall skinny ones, and it ended up crapping out which made it have this awful burnt smell, my husband put it in the office to see if he could fix it later and pretty much forgot about it. Then I got pregnant and eff pregnancy nose because that's all I could smell in the hallway for like a month until he FINALLY threw it out! It's been a month, and I STILL get whiffs of it and he says he can't smell anything, ughhhhh pregnancy nose!
