@kmalls I was more of a lurker on that board. The Bump still intimidated me back then! Its great that we were all able to get pregnant again so quickly! I'm going to take this as a good luck sign for the 3 of us.
@simcal18 Could you do the ultrasound with your H either this weekend, or next week Friday, the 25th? It sounds like your H needs some time to relax and probably vent a bit after his awful business trip.
So I double-checked the time of my ultrasound next Saturday and it turns out it's not until 3:30, so I should be able to do both brunch and the ultrasound that day. I spoke to DH last night and he understandably was not thrilled about trying to cram an ultrasound in Friday afternoon, and I completely understand and respect that, especially since there's no conflict with the Saturday appointment. The problem is that I'm realizing that my issue wasn't so much the scheduling conflict -- it's that I would rather go to the nice ultrasound place than the in-house radiology department where I'm scheduled. I have a tilted uterus and so often I need a TV ultrasound to really see what's going on in there, and I don't know if they have that capacity where I'm scheduled. I got the impression it was just one of those little handheld machines. Also my midwife mentioned that we might not be able to see a heartbeat -- but shouldn't we be able to see a heartbeat at 8 weeks with a decent ultrasound machine (especially when they're dating me at 9)?
I should probably just call my OB's office for clarification on the ultrasound capabilities that they have in-house and request that my appointment be moved if they don't at least have TV capability, which I think they'd be willing to do. I don't know if the fancy ultrasound place has Saturday openings, but DH should be home the week after next so hopefully we could find something that works if not.

@Julia70286 We passed our loss EDD on Leap Day a few weeks ago and I can relate--leading up to it I wasn't as focused on it, since this pregnancy (thankfully) was just taking all of my focus, but that day it hit me like a tsunami and there were so many confusing emotions. Your plan for the tree to honor your son is such a beautiful idea, and I love the way you envision your LO sending you reassurance--I feel the same way! xoxo
@ejmo68 SO happy for you!!! I cried--more like full-on wept--when we heard the heartbeat for the first time, too. I don't even think it had hit me how much fear I was carrying around until it turned into relief!
@krzyriver@mrszoess I was a May16 mama, too! I thought you guys were familiar. I was super active on that board until the loss, and I still miss those ladies. I pop in occasionally just to see how they're doing.
Me too! Me too..look at all of us back together again and hopefully with our rainbow babies!
Waiting for my appointment on Tuesday is torture. My worst fear is a MMC so naturally, EVERYTHING is a sign of impending doom. I just wish I could fast forward and get it over with.
@ejmo68 I'm so glad you're appt went well! I anticipate lots of tears on Tuesday as well.

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? I have an appointment on 3/23 where I am hoping that my doctor will get me scheduled for a cerclage and to see a high-risk obgyn at least bi-weekly. I lost my last daughter at 21 weeks due to chorioamnionitis which may have been a result of IC.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I love my husband, but I do not like him right now. I'm snapping his head off left an right. I feel sorry afterwards. I am ranting and raving about orgasms in my sleep. I've now had a few very vivid sexual dreams that cause me to orgasm, which wakes me up. I'm just afraid of the crampy feeling I get afterwards. It's a beautiful spring day, sunshine, blue skies, and I've had both orange juice and apple juice this morning, and that makes me very happy.
4. GTKY: What's the best thing about where you live? I'm close to all of my family and friends, within an hour from all of them. It gives me a good sense of security.
@simcal18 I'm glad you can make your original appointment with your H, and still see your friends! That makes total sense about wanting to go to a nice ultrasound place. Hopefully your original place can do a TV ultrasound.
They should definitely see a heartbeat at 8 or 9 weeks. We saw the heartbeat at 6w5d (with TV), we couldn't hear it, but you could see it beating on the screen.
I hope everything works out, and I hope they do a TV so you can see the heartbeat!!
