Re: 8/31 - First Tri Check in
Not much new on my end, other than this is starting to set in! We dared making a trip to babies r us this weekend, just to see My EDD is May 3, 2016. I will be getting my first U/S on Sept. 15, and will be seeing my GP (for referral to OB) this Friday.
We're going to visit my in laws in Florida all of next week. Although we've shared the news with a few close people, we haven't told them yet as we wanted to tell them in person (we only get to see them once or twice/year, so we figured we'd make it special). It just scares me that we haven't seen the little bean or heard a heartbeat yet. I guess I'm in post-IF fear that everything could go wrong!
@MKLEWIS2010 thanks for taking over! I tried to correct this mistake before, but I'm not sure if I'm having a singlet or twins. Won't find out until the u/s on 9/9.
I have my 2nd beta tomorrow. Had a pretty rough weekend. Was told to stop taking the estrogen patches (cold turkey). Spotted for the first time Saturday night. Nearly freaked out. Ok, totally freaked out. Meltdown. Have had a headache all weekend that got progressively worse through last night. Both Saturday and Sunday nights, both, were pretty rough. Have barely slept. I took a sick day from work today to try to lose the headache and catch up on some sleep.
QOTW: we are going to my brother-in-law's in-law's for a pig roast this weekend. Hoping to feel better by then.
@MKLEWIS2010 : we bought the books 'How to babysit a grandpa' and 'how to babysit a grandma'. We often bring them a little something (and so do they) when we see each other, so it makes sense for them to have to open a present. We're just a little worried about my FIL being able to shut up for a few weeks...he's VERY excited at the idea of becoming a grandpa (he's had a weeklong Disney trip planned for his hypothetical grandkids since the day we got engaged 5 years ago).

I finally got the results today from my panorama testing and all looks normal and Baby is low risk for everything. Whew! The test also reveals the sex so we found out we are having a girl! I started crying out of happiness, just knowing what "it" was. Last time I teared up was when I was told I was actually pregnant. . Since my last ultrasound was at 10 weeks I'm still anxious baby will be ok at my ultrasound next week, where I'll almost be 14 weeks.
QOTW: no plans really for Labor Day weekend, but Sunday the 6th is our 6th wedding anniversary! I think we will just go somewhere nice for dinner.

It will be a great weekend for berry picking! I hope you feel better and the nauseous subsides.
