ok ... since i've been outted on LBT, i'll come out of the closet here...

i am once again preggers. im hoping this one sticks cause i really dont feel like i can go through yet another miscarriage (last one was Feb 2008). i pretty much knew even before my period was late, took a test, came back very faintly positive - that was about 24/25 May. took another test 7June PM and 8June AM and they both came back nice and positive. took yet another one 10June and holy **** it came back positive faster than the control strip. i had a blood test 10June as well and that came back +, so im going again today for another hCG reading to see it (hopefully) go up.

so i'm really paranoid and just want this little baby to grow. im 6w1d right now - due in February if all turns out well...

so please... if you could keep your fingers/toes/eyes/whatever crossed, i'd appreciate it.

thanks!!

UPDATE 6/12 505pm

update

im OK... nauseated and exhausted, so i guess that is a good sign...

im telling my boss tomorrow - that is going to be an ordeal i think .. i.just.cant.wait... yay!!

YAY!!!!! Are you planning to work after the baby gets here?? I figured you were feeling pretty sick, and yes, I would say that is a very good sign. It is hard to put into words how very happy I am for you. Having struggled with infertility myself, and then having a child. I know how amazing you feel right now (even with the nausea and fatigue). take care.

working is still up in the air. i REALLY dont want to and just found out daycare for a newborn where my DD currently goes is 224 a week, plus her 176, that's 20,800 a year in daycare costs!!! yikes!

we'll see though... my work has great benefits (not expensive medical and ummm, free flights... )

LJM, Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!! I know you and DH are so excited. I just got back from vacation and am just getting caught up on the boards.

WOW daycare sure has gotten expensive since I had my kids.

Just wanted to say congratulations!! I hope all goes well for you and baby during the pregnancy!

Congratulations and sending you lots of good vibes! You deserve this baby! :biggrin:

How did your boss take the news???

not pleased, but she puts on a good face :thumbup:

checking in on you and your little belly bean..........

ummm ... not much little about it ... im getting a baby belly. gaining and losing the same 3-4 pounds so not bad. i am SOOOO hungry lately (munching on apples right now).

i have another OB appointment the 28th and we'll schedule my next ultrasound. im getting excited!

morning sickness isnt that bad - pretty much gone away except when there is some sort of sudden movement or when DH and i are sitting on the couch and he's bouncing his leg ... grrrrrrr.

Can't wait for the morning sickness to end.....

Glad to hear your morning sickness is mellow. I on the other hand am still sick all day. It's definitely better than a couple weeks ago but still really rough.

We heard the heartbeat for the first time yesterday!!! My DH thought it sounded like a train so we've nicknamed the baby CHOO-CHOO!

Banda - what's your due date?

I'm due Feb. 3. 11 weeks down! 29 to go!
