Whew!  I am tired after that big ol' roll call!

Krista

[wanting4#1]

Thanks, Krista!! It was nice, as a newbie, to see the sum-up of everyone!!  

I'm trying my best to relax through this tww, but dang, it's so hard!!! Every hiccup, twinge, icky feeling gets analyzed and over-analyzed!!  But I am going to have the 7dpo tests and that should help tell me where things are going!!

Thinking of everyone and praying that BFPs start landing all around the world!! :)

[Glenda306]

Morning all.

Specifically I am 4w today.

Got a good one for you.  We haven't told anyone yet (except my internet sisters), but my 4-year-old brings me a drawing she's done and says it's a picture of ONE of the BABIES in my tummy.  I asked her if it was a boy or girl baby and she told me it was a boy, but she was going to draw the girl baby.  Then she laughed and said "not in your real tummy."  Does she know something I don't?

[anxious2]

He ladies...

Krista, you forgot me!!!  Im doing well still having some brown spotting but hoping its still that sac passing through.

Juana I cant wait for the 18th, i know you will get your BFP.  I go to see my new doctor on that day, as I had to change my OB's.  My old doctor felt more comfortable withme being in a office that had ultrasound for likely every appt rather than milestones. Probably since I'm a nervous wreck.

I'll hit the 10 week mark tomorrow....2 more to go and out of this trimester...right

Glenda sounds like your daughter is preparing you.......!

I hope everyone has a good day... we are so close to Friday and being able to rest  AHH!!.

[sasparilla]

LOVE the name Juana.. Have eggs, will travel!

Thanks for the roll call Krista.. that was a long one!

Glenda.. Thats funny about your daughter.. she psychic!

I *think* I am anywhere from 8-12 DPO.. am really clueless, but my B/W yesterday showd that I did O, and my natural progesterone is >20. (Ok, if I can make this on my own, why do I have to shoot myself in the butt w/such big needles.. sheesh)

[wanting4#1]

Hi Glenda - I have heard a NUMBER of stories of children knowing that their mommies were pregnant before they even did!  Sounds like you might want to prepare for twins!! :)

[Juana824]

My haven't we grown!!! Our sisterhood is awesome!!!!!!

I agree with everyone else Glenda! You have to keep us posted on that one!!

Anxious, I hope the bleeding/spotting stops soon, that has to be bothersome.

Okay, Ihave a questions, the last ime I had a Beta, they just told me it was negaive..no numbers...nothing...sooo What questions should I ask the doctor when they call with the results?? Until I stumbled upon you wonderful ladies, I didn't even know that test was called a "Beta".

Today I am feeling much better. This morning I was attacked with nausea and hot flashes...I am sitll having back aches and mild stomach cramps. My AF was due to visit yesterday, but there was no sign of her..Hopefully she is going to visit Miky and Savannah!!!  I don't want her here with me!!!

On another note, the kitchen remodel is going great!! Seeing the transformation when I arrive home each day is amazing!!! I am hoping they will be done in the next week. My appliances were delivered yesterday and my cabinets will arrive on tomorrow!!! Yippee!!! I can't wait until its done, my "new" kitchen is a card table with an electric skillet and eletrice griddle on it! LOL Needless to say, we have been eating take out quite a bit!!

On a sad note, I really need for you guys to send up some prayer for my favorite Aunt Carol, she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer on yesterday. They are really confident that they will be able to treat it before it spreads...she has a really positive attitude which I know is also important...

Thank you all for being the wonderful women you are!!

Later, Gators....

[kp1212]

Sorry Anxious2!  Like I said, I am senile.

[alaskacouple]

Good Morning Ladies!!!!!   We is back from playing with the fish and da bears! :-))

I am in the process of trying to catch up on everyones' posts.......geez I leave for a couple of days and two new threads get posted.... whew.... y'all been busy!!!

Wanted to say Hi and to let y'all know I was home....

The weather in Seward for the Silver Salmon Derby was awesome!  Four days of sunshine and 3 days of overcast with one day of rain.  I went out fishing twice on the boat with the 'boys' and other than catching silver salmon, we also caught halibut, black bass, rock fish, and one cod.  For wildlife.... we saw: eagles, puffins, mountain goats, bears, whales, ...... and tons of seagulls.....

Tijuana - still sending frost your way! Keeping everything crossed! (even the parts that aren't big enough to cross - but trying :-))
And the frost comes with lots of prayers for your Aunt. I know what you are going through - My mom-in-law was diagnosed in September of 2006 - scarriest 6 months of our lives for chemo and radiation. As to date - she is doing well. God Bless you!!!!

Will catch up with the rest of ya later! Back at work and buried in the sh!t.....

LOL to all my sisters!!!!

[Juana824]

SAM!! WELCOME BACK!!! YOU WERE MISSED!!!

[Juana824]

Sam, thanks to you and Krista for the Auntie prayers!! She is like my second mom and I just pray that everythig goes well!!!

[kele1129]

Krista-Thanks for doing the list, that was a lot of legwork.

SAM!-nice to see ya! I am holding out for our yearly harvest market at the end of September so I can send you the freshest syrup Vermont can offer. DH and I are addicted to the spicy salmon.

Glenda-My memere (grandmother) is convinced even after 3 u/s's that we are having twins...she is under the impression that if you do IVF you get twins...end of story. She and your daughter should hang out.

Juana-*hands Juana a drink with an umbrella in it* drink this virgin RSSBD margarita! mmmm yummy!

To all mt other sisters-I hope you are all well and happy and either enjoying the natural cycles or happily complaining about BCP and injections. ^_^
*RSSBD margaritas for you all!*

Me-I am trying to deal with financial aid for school...which starts the beginning of next month...oi how am I supposed to do school full-time, work part-time and get through this pregnancy safely? I am kinda concerned...but I love school and really want to get through the next 3 years, work is kinda a needed thing (the paychecks and all), and I don't want to jepordize the pregnancy...ah stress. Sorry just needed to get that out.

[kp1212]

Welcome back Sam!!!  You were missed!  We were starting to wonder if a big ol' bear got ya! ;-)

Keli, Funny about your grandma.  She sounds like a character!  Try not to stress too much, although it sounds like your plate is really full.  Soon, your lap will be full too!  ;-)  What kind of school program (I know you told me before but I forgot-sorry)?

Off to have some spicy salmon for lunch!  yummmy!

[Glenda306]

My OB called today with my b/w.  My progesterone is 42.1 and my hcg is 170.  I'm going back to have the hcg re-checked tomorrow.  Please pray that it has at LEAST doubled by then.  I want to know, but I don't want to know.  He said we could come in as early as 6wks or up to 8 wks.  I went in at 7.5w last time & all was well, but 6 days later the baby had died, so I don't know what to do this time.

Juana, your aunt will be in my prayers.  Breast cancer is getting more and more treatable these days.

Krista, sorry, but I've gone through too much to give away babies now :)

kele, my age alone makes it more likely that I COULD have twins (I'm 40), but I'd think the increase in hormones would have been more apparent by now.  Of course, at what stage do the cells split to make identical twins?  Would it have happened by now?

[Asking4aMiracle]

Glenda, its known that children know that stuff, and like wanting said, often before the mommy does!! sounds great!! as for the identical twin thing, Anxious is pregnant with identical twins, she might be able to help you out more!! if it is identical, your daughter would need to redue the picture, two of each instead of one. good luck!

SAM WELCOME BACK SISTER!!! (ps, my salmon never came) sounds like you had a great time....i wanta vacation!!! to the beach, before the baby!

14 WEEKS TOMORROW, sorry needed to yell that! im so happy, i can not wait till all of you are prego!! you ladies are so wonderful (tears, damn hormones) and you deserve it all so much!! and its so wonderful sharing this with all of you!!

Krista youre amazing for coming up with that, i sure couldnt!!

Kele, thats great!! i hope she doesnt really get too upset one only have one and she doesnt know where the other is!! just say you gave it to your friend (Krista) haha

Juana, im so sorry, youve been having a rough few months, speaking of, how is your cousin doing? *lots of prayer for you and your family* and uh, sounds like the 2nd in our string of BFP is going to be revealed in just a short time here!!! woohoo!!!

Sas, that big strong hubby of yours wont shoot you in the butt with the needles instead? (HAHAHA, if you know what i mean) jk....i had to give it to myself once, it was a little easier but i was too afraid of hitting a nerve, that wouldnt have been good!!

well i love you all and i know i missed some but...EH...your strong, youll get over it!! =) *HUGS*!!!!!!!!

[anxious2]

Glenda, I am having identical twins and initially had no symptoms beside terrible lower back pain.  The nausea just really hit this week and I will be 10 weeks tomorrow.  I started off with 2 sacs and one split, the other is still trying to reabsorb.  My numbers were doubling around every 3 days instead of 2 so we thought it was just one baby.  I have a small bump as we speak that im excited about!!!!!  My breast aren't sore and havent been.  

So you could have twins in there and not have the exaggerated symptoms.

[Glenda306]

Thanks for the heads up.  I was sick before the BFP with my 1st and not until a week after with my 2nd.  I can't remember at all with my last DD.  I just hope my hcg has at least come close to doubling by tomorrow.  I know I shouldn't worry, but I just can't help it.  My last pg looked so good at 1st and ended so badly.  I wouldn't mind having twins, but I really just want 1 healthy baby boy (I'd settle for another girl, but my DS is lonesome & praying for a brother).

Congrats and best wishes on 2 healthy babies.  BTW, don't let anyone tell you that you can't breastfeed twins.  Unless you have other issues, you can do it, if you really want to.

[Juana824]

Amberlee, my cousin is doing great. He is scheduled for surgery in a few weeks to have the bullet removed. He starts back to school on the 21st and is back to business as usual. The incident didn't effect him as much as it did us...Thanks for asking!


Again thank you all for the kind words and prayers for me and my family!

Savanha~~

[Glenda306]

Savanha, if I thought that roast would do the trick, I would have done it a long time ago.  Maybe I'd better warn all the ladies at church who might have eaten it....

Seriously, I don't think anyone wants to walk my road to get to pg.  TTC for 8 mos., pg., m/c, and TTC 4 more mos. is NOT fun.  It's especially scary when my biological clock is running down fast.

Well, I think my pg fatigue is kicking in and I'm going to get ready for bed...if I can convince 2 little girls to be quiet and go to sleep!
