I'm glad to report everything is looking good, baby's heart is beating, cervix is closed, no traces of blood left, bleeding has stopped. I'm so relieved. Thank you everyone so much.

I'm back with my update from my bleeding scare. Everything checked out fine. Saw baby moving on ultrasound, measuring exactly 10 weeks and a heart rate of 185 bpm! I was so relieved. I swear, my head is going to be covered in gray hairs by the time this baby is here!
How are you ladies doing?!? I'm doing alright. Very tired and super stressed as I've started a new temporary role at work and am taking a course in the evenings.
How far along? 9w2d
How owe are you feeling? Nauseous all day but not everyday (thankfully). This past week I've also started throwing up sometimes. I'm very tired. All I want to do is sleep but I have to work and my course so it's a struggle.
Rants/Raves/Randoms? First midwife appointment tomorrow!! I'm getting nervous but am excited.
As we are getting further along, I know many of us have hit or are approaching "the number" of which we lost our last babies. Did passing it provide any relief? What have you been doing when the stress seems overwhelming? My last loss was at 16 weeks after we'd told everyone and thought we were out of the woods. I still have 7 weeks to go till I hit that mark and don't know if I'll be able to relax then. I had a dream a couple of weeks ago where I gave birth to a healthy child. This is the first time I've ever had a dream like that so I'm hoping it's a good omen.

How owe are you feeling? Tired and nauseous. I've had a few bad headaches as well.

Good. Really good, actually. This is the calmest and most stable I've been in ages, surprisingly. I can't explain it, but I'm not going to complain.
I even passed the point of stopping my progesterone/estrogen supplements (precautionary since we did IVF) without panicking.
How far along?
10+4 today.
How are are you feeling?
I seem to be having almost a unicorn pregnancy, aside from reflux and migraines. I feel a little guilty about how good I feel, actually, plus it makes the whole thing feel sort of unreal, which I don't like.
Rants/Raves/Randoms?
I feel like the first trimester is never going to end. It's so close but it just feels like I'm never going to get there.

I lost my previous pregnancy early (it was a late CP), so I passed "the number" weeks ago. It did calm my nerves, but I was still incredibly nervous at every ultrasound until I was released to my OB and had my first ultrasound with him. Somehow that eased my mind, especially since the babies were moving around quite a bit and are clearly growing with every scan.
I've been looking at my ultrasound printouts and reminding myself of how much they've grown (they look like little tiny gummy bear babies now, not blobs!) and doing a lot of praying (and thanking God for what I have). I know not everyone is religious and I don't mean to offend those that aren't, but it's just what I've been doing that's been helping me.
UPDATE: I FINALLY had my first scan yesterday and for the first time in 3 pregnancies, I got to see my little bean's heartbeat! All is well. We moved up my due date a couple days (which I love!) and my doctor said everything looks perfect. It was such a breath of relief to finally get past the first scan. Today I am now 8 weeks 6 days, which is the day we lost our daughter in October so there's a little anxiety, but it's definitely gone down since yesterday.
