Franca - Welcome!! Congratulations on your BFP!! I think we all know that feeling of wanting to be excited but holding back. It's why we only trust each other with the news until the u/s or other things that prove it to us.
Being through so much disappointment in the past, it can be hard to be happy when you think that anything could happen. However, being excited and positive thinking can go a long way! The important thing is to enjoy your pregnancy as much as you can spite the fears! Stress doesn't help a pregnancy along, I was warned about this for all of my failures from my RE. So from day 1 after transfer we just pretended I was pregnant. Not only was I, but there are two in there! DH kept rubbing my belly saying "How are the twins" almost everyday after transfer and what would you know... he got his wish.
I understand the worry though Franca. It never really goes away for us I don't think, not until we are holding our little bundles in our arms. Just remember, anytime any fears come into your head, just chase them away by telling yourself everything is great. Picture your baby growing and being healthy... this is what I did... and still do actually!
Helene - So happy everything is turning out pink for you.
Lou - You know who I think you look like... Rebecca De Mornay. I hope you take that as a compliment. lol She is gorgeous after all.
Can't say I get cold often, I have been the type to be warm all the time and still am. After spending 4 years in Iraq Andrew's body is effected and now he is always cold. Even when to touch him he is hot, he still complains that he is cold. Oh, and I did try the Mystic tan, it was before though. I paid $18 for 3 sessions of medium and it didn't get my pale arse tan enough so I had to do dark, which I think was $23 here? It's less expensive then paying month to month for a tanning bed that we can't use anyway. The tan lasts two weeks two. Just can't go in with any makeup or deoderant. Use lotion daily to help keep the tan longer too. It covers very well and evenly and doesn't turn orange. lol I recommend holding your breath while it sprays though. Getting mists up your nose isn't harmful but doesn't feel too pretty either.
Andrew is young yes... when people point out our age difference I just say... Yeah I still got it. lol I turned him away at first because of his age actually. Then we ended up being best man and maid of honor in our best friends wedding and we have been together ever since.
As far as his back, the docs determined his discs weren't what was causing him pain yet so opted to burn the nerves instead. Once the discs become an issues he will be getting the edpidural seroid shots.
Claudia - Yeah that lady was a pain in the ass, especially after the guy who did the pre-inspection said we were good to go! So her pin pointing things that were already OK'ed upset me. My husband thinks I flipped out on her but he litterally said to her face that she came in the house like she was on crack! LMAO So true too! Today there isn't any spotting too so I am hella excited!! I hope yours stays brown and goes away. Mine stuck around for 5 weeks, but at least the babies stayed great the whole time. I am very thankful for that!
Angela - Yes moving can be stressful, but I have taken it pretty easy. Clearing the previous house (we live on an Army post) was the biggest stresser and now that is over. Now we can focus on completing the unpacking here. There isn't much to do, just two boxes in the storage shed, a few upstairs in the hallway and the spare room. We actually have two extra rooms, one for each arriving twin but we chose the biggest of the spare rooms to be the twin's room and chose the smallest to be the spare where people can come over and sleep in case we get visiters. I am hoping to have a little help after they come home. My brother and wife plan to come so hopefully that happens.
Glad they pushed your appt to Monday. It is better you get to see the hb the first time then worry until the next scan. I think there were a couple who had to wait like that because it was too early, most recently Claudia I believe? I am sure everything is perfect.
Your prog levels are high, surprised you aren't feeling blah all the time.
I am feeling a little nervous about my levels, my last day of shots is Wednesday. I know I have to stop the prog. before knowing if my levels will be stable, but I have no b/w until my next ob appt in 4 weeks. I might ask for b/w to check in between there to make sure everything is going well.
Hazel - Hope your trip do Dubai is going perfect!
So where is everyone else? Haven't really seen a few stop in for a while. I hope those with m/s are feeling better soon!
AFM - Ok... so, no spotting today either means I can PLAY tomorrow!!! It's been since Feb 15th so YAY!
I know Andrew will be happy! Anyone else notice their DH's gaining weight or being crabby or even having cravings? Andrew has been doing all of these things. We joke and say he is pregnant with twins too. lol I have heard of this, but I have also heard that they can also have sympathy pain when labor happens. Boy, could you imagine having both of you going through labor?
I do know the feeling and the pain is so raw now but please continue your journey since you are such an inspiration to everyone. We love you and hope to see you cycling again very soon.
