*NEW* 1st Trimester Bump Buddies

[cmoscar]

Would you mind telling me the name of the stroller you found that you like?

The stroller is by Graco and is a travel system. I have had those big bulky strollers your mother is talking about and I hated it. I threw it away and bought a smaller one when I had Christian. The system I am looking at is Graco Metrolite Travel System. The model number is 7308DEL4. I actually went to BabiesRUs and played with the stroller. Picking it up and breaking it down. I was really impressed!

Thanks

Racheal,

Thank you for the information. I'm going to check it out next time I am in Babies r us. Being a first time mom I can use all the advise I can get. I really appreciate it.

Take care,
Nance

Hey gals,

Vicky....Oh, sweetie, I am thinking good thoughts for you. I agree with Angelica about PMA--your mind has soooo much power over matter. I'll be praying for you.

Nance and the other shoppers--Too funny, but I was at the mall this weekend (trying to buy Christmas gifts) and found myself in the baby departments in so many stores! I didn't buy anything yet, but I was definitely picking out some favorites. Speaking of strollers....I'm on the lookout for a good double stroller that will accomodate carseats. If anyone sees one, can you pass the info along? I keep finding the single ones...that won't work, huh?

As for my progress...I actually had a little scare yesterday. When I woke up I had a small amount of light brown spotting. I stayed calm because I remember so much of the good advice you ladies had given others in the past! I took it easy yesterday, and I called the doc today. They say it is pretty common for gals at my stage...especially since I'm being weaned off of my hormone supplements. My next U/S is Wednesday, so I am sure I'll get more confirmation then. [By the way, I do feel pretty lucky that I do get to go every week--I didn't realize that wasn't the norm. No wonder I don't have too much time to get nervous! What ever shall I do when I go back to the OB?]

For all you other lovelies, I hope you have a good week. Good luck for those of you who have scans. Take care of yourselves and eat some cookies--we might as well enjoy the goodies while we can!

Hi Ladies,

Do you mind if i join you on this thread? I'm originally from the Oct thread,i actually started it,so ive had a quick read thru some of this posts and do know some of you.

For those of you i dont know,ive previously had 2 fresh ivf cycles,and 1 FET..This was my 3rd fresh cycle,and lo and behold a miracle,im now 5 weeks 4 days pregnant..We have our first scan Dec 22nd,we're both so excited,my beta was 324 14 days past 3 day transfer,my clinic said it was a good number,they said they wouldnt look at my numbers and automatically think twins,but thers a possibility,or it could maybe just be 1 strong healthy pregnancy..So we wait with anticipation..

Love Nicola..xxx

Good Morning Girls!

I woke up in the Christmas spirit this morning and I have felt like I am walking on air all morning! It must be the hormones, but I feel great! I have energy (which I haven't had since I started cycling) and my emotions are on the happy side. I am excited about going Christmas shopping for the boys this week and I will be decorating the house tomorrow night! I was worried I would never get my second wind! I have been so sick and tired that I was sure Christmas was ruined! However, if I keep feeling like this for the next two weeks, Christmas will be just the way I want it.

I have been sad this past two weeks because my uncle (really a friend of the family) was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 3. They were not sure he would make it to Christmas. However, they did a surgery to remover some of the cancer from his heart area and he is slowly recovering. Last night, I got the call that they are going to release him on Friday. He will hopefully make it to Christmas! He is the most loving person I know and he has had a very hard life. I wish I could do something, but I am not even allowed to go visit him because he is in Florida and I am in Texas. My OB says I can go in January if my asthma is under control and so I told my uncle he has to hang on till I can get there. He laughed at me and "Sure, Egghead." I am trying hard to get together the money to go see him without taking away from my boys Christmas and we finally found a way. My husband and I have been paying out of pocket for some of the Cub Scout Pack's events and we spoke with the treasurer who said they have the finances to cover it and will reimburse us for those. This will help me go with hurting the savings for the boys. It seems like God is looking kindly at us this year. We have truely been blessed this year and I wish everyone has the same.

Hi All,

Nicola - Welcome. It is so good to see you on this side of the boards. Congratulations.

Racheal - I'm glad to hear that your spirits are up and that you are feeling well. I am so sorry to hear about your uncle but am glad that he will get to spend the holidays with his loved ones.

Everyone - I hope you are all doing well. Any updates?

As for me I have my Nuchal Scan tomorrow. I am still very nervous but I am praying that everything will be ok and trying to stay positive. I am 11weeks 1 day today so I am so anxious to get the the 12 week mark. The day I hit 12 weeks I am going out and buying the baby a present. I pray every morning that God watches over all of us and keeps our beannies safe and healthy.

Talk to everyone later.

All my best.
Nance

Today I feel like almost al my "pregnancy symptoms" are gone, no more sore boobs, no more veins in my boobs, belly less distended......it looks like I definetly lost the baby, I am so sad. I called the RE's office to see if I could do the next US before so I can finally have a closure...
But I want a baby so much, that I would like to start again as soon as possible, does any of you know how much you have to wait to start again after a miscarriage??
Thanks to everybody for your support.......

You stay positive till they tell you otherwise you owe it to yourself, do not ever say that M word unless the Dr says it first...OK!!!!!!!!

Vicky,

I am so very sad for you. I am sorry to hear you must wait until the 18th and that you will have to wait to cycle again. However, they are only looking out for you. Your body will need to recover from the pregnancy. Believe it or not it has undergone a lot of changes already. Just keep thinking good things or just concentrate on the holiday preperations. Sometimes being busy will make the time fly by.

[elliecat]

Hi Vicky
I agree with Angellica, there is always hope until you hear otherwise. My boobs are also less sore and i don't feel like i have symptons. I can understand how hard this must be for you but please don't give up hope.

Vicky - I posted for you on the other thread but I just wanted to make sure that you know that I will be praying for you and we will always be here for you no matter what you need. I'm sorry that your Dr. will not push up your scan. Just try to stay positive and don't give up hope. Miracles happen every day.

Angellica - All my thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow. Please let us know as soon as you hear anything.

Take care,
Nance

Girls, you are the best, I am almost in tears with all the kind words you are telling me.

Angellica, thanks so much for your PMA, I should be more like you I guess, I promise you I will start trying to do so....I wish you all the best for tomorrow too, please keep us posted.

Ellie, Nance , Kim and Racheal, thank you all for everything, I am really trying hard to be stronger, I really should, I guess when you want something so much, the moment they tell you you might lose it the whole world falls apart, but I will try to come back to life and fight for my little one...

Nicola, welcome to this side!!!, congratulations!!!!!

[angellica]

Vicky
