Happy Sunday girls!!! I hope that you all are doing well. I had a very nice day, though a bit tiring. After church DH and I went to the beach to look at the iceburgs. My DDs teach during second hour of church so we typically go hang out somewhere, me Barnes & Noble, DH Lowe's or Meynards. I just didn't feel like cooping myself up inside, it was very sunny out for the first time in days. So, we knew that the iceburgs would be big because of this violent winter we have had. They were awesome!!! They were so cool that after we picked the DDs up from church and had our regular Sunday dinner (it's actually lunch but we eat dinner like foods) with the in-laws we went back. We invited the in-laws to go with us and they did. We took the camera and took tons of pictures of us out on the burgs. There was this HUGE cavern of ice and we got some really nice pictures standing on it's edge. We took our Swissie with us too, she didn't much like climbing up the icey slopes but had fun all the same. Then we came home and I thought, well, I'll just lie down for a few minutes and the next thing I knew it was 7:00!!!! I popped out of bed and had DH run to the store to get some pizza crusts and Mozzarella cheese and we whipped up some homemade pizzas. Sounds so silly that a day like that would be so enjoyable to me but all the same I would say that this has been one of the best days I have had in a while. I hope that the rest of you ladies are enjoying your weekend as much as I have.
I have had no episodes like I had on Friday and I feel fine, but I will be mentioning it to my RE on our appointment Tuesday. I really hope and feel that it was all the water I drank so quickly after my meal.
Gecko I am so happy for you that you have passed your tests!!!! Keep up the good work. I bet walking on the treadmill is helping a ton. I am glad you don't have to change your diet to bland foods. What a bummer that would have been during pregnancy!!
Rio I can't wait, nor can DH, to get the ok for IC. I am praying that we get it Tuesday after our U/S shows that everything is great. Until then I guess I will have to live vicariousley through the rest of you girls who have gotten the go ahead. I have been having wierd big "O" dreams too, and none of them have been followed by cramping, so I consider that a very good indication that DH and I should be fine too.
Sugabeanz I am so sorry that you are dealing with another cold. What a bummer!! I know you can't use the Vicks medicine but there are Kleenex brand tissues that have the Vicks menthol on them. I used those a lot when I was battling the flu. It helped to just kind of stick one in my nose for about a minute before I went to bed. Try not to visualize it, it's kind of funny, DH always laughed at me, but it was soooo helpful. It also helps if your DH is as gassy as mine
!! They come in quite handy to help block out his bombs. Sorry TMI. Good luck.
Weezie Thanks for checking in. It's good to know that you are doing well. We worry about our ladies when we haven't heard from them in a bit.
Jomae That is really cool that you get to go through your pregnancy again with a sister. You can compare symptoms all the way through till the end. Are you close? My sis and I got pregnant usually within a year of each other so our kids are spread out in steps for four years or so. She had actually gone for a consultation last week to try for a baby with her new husband. So we may be able to keep the trend going

Sage I still have a bit of cramping on and off too. Different than AF though. More like tugging and stretching and I feel very aware of where my uterus is. Last night and today my legs were very achey, crampy. Which is a bit frustrating. I remember that from my other pregnancies but that usually did not hit me until the last trimester from the excess weight. I had to sit down in church during the last prayer because they were so achey. I have only gained 4 lbs. so I can't imagine why this is already happening. But, cramps in any form are natural, try not to stress too much about yours. It stinks though that you are getting them in the middle of the night and messing up your sleep.
Okay, I know I am missing some of your girls, but I am thinking of you all. Only four more days and my embryo is officially a fetus!!!! I hope that at the U/S we can see a little more arm and leg definition. It may be too early yet but I hope we see something. By 9 weeks the arms and legs are no longer buds but real arms and legs though still small. I will be 8w4d according to the clinic's calculation, but from my calculation I will be 9 weeks exactly. Who knows what we'll see. I will be thrilled with whatever but don't we always want more????
