Thanks so much everyone! I don't have an appointment yet to see the dr- I'm going to call tomorrow morning and see if I can come in. If the due date calculator is right, we'll get to hold our little baby around mid-March

If my cycle worked, I'll be due end of March - so we'll have to start a pregnancy thread at that point! Girl, get in to your doc for a beta. It will ease your mind to see the numbers.

Congrats again!

What is a beta? I am completely new to all this!

I know you didn't ask me, but I have been through IVF's, countless inseminations, etc. So I know this answer so you don't have to wait. A beta test is a blood test you take to see what your HCG numbers look like and then they are checked to see if they double every 24 hours (I believe it's 24, it may be 48-it's been a while). If they do, then you have a healthy pregnancy. Congrats by the way!

Thanks for the info! Dr's office isn't open quite yet... Why does it always seem like everyone's closed when you want to talk with them?!? Lol

I was doing great this morning til breakfast- scrambled egg and a piece of toast. Now I'm queasy.... At least I could tolerate a little bit of Decaf coffee. I love coffee- I miss it!

Being nauseated, though sucks, is a great sign of it being a healthy, viable pregnancy.

Just talked to the dr's office. They said I'm not quite far enough along to do a sonogram today, but they wanted to do bloodwork. So, bloodwork today, sonogram on the 18th!

Just finished up at the doctor's office. I asked them to do their official POAS test, they did, and it was officially POSITIVE! not that I had any doubts.... Ok, maybe I did. But now I feel pretty confident! :)

Yes, He is!!!! I think if this baby is a girl we are going to name her Eliana- it means "God has answered". This child is such a blessing, and an answer to so many prayers!

Got my first cravings tonight- pineapple (fresh) and spaghetti with meat sauce. We went to Whole Foods, since I want to make an effort to eat some organic stuff, and got some fresh strawberries, pineapple, bananas, celery, and then I spotted some tropical frozen fruit bars that screamed out to me from the ice cream section. I ate one on the way home and it was So Good.

We also went by Buy Buy Baby to look for some kind of gift to give hub's parents to announce the pregnancy. We are going down to visit them this weekend so we can tell them in person. I found a picture frame for each of them- "I love Grandpa" and "My heart belongs to Nana" (my MIL told me a few years ago that when she has grandchildren she wants to be called Nana) are the inscriptions at the bottoms of the frames. Then I also got two little board books- one about grandmas and one about grandpas. We plan on breaking the news by wrapping this all up as one gift and letting them open it. Can't wait to see their faces! We've been married for almost seven years, and my MIL especially is dying to have her first grandbaby.

I also bought some "Preggie Pops", because I have been feeling more queasy this evening, and they work!

Aw that's a cute idea. They will be so excited. You'll have to let me know their reaction. I had spaghetti with meat sauce tonight too. More meat than Pasta but still. I used to crave Soup broths and Chinese food. Lol. Write a journal of your 9 months. It's an unbelievable experience.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
