Yes, I do. My appt is at 11:00, so I'll post as soon as I get back. I'm hoping the Prometruim is doing what it suppose to do. The good thing is...I feel fine. Actually, got real nausea when DH cooked some chicken breast tonight. The smell was awful and I loved it...makes me feel the pg is moving in the right direction.

O.k...the u/s went great today. Baby is now a 1/2 inch and the HB was so clear this time...it 150 bpm. We're right on target. I haven't gotten the results of the b/w yet, so I'm hoping that is good news too. I will be given my next steps when they call with the results of b/w. Thanks everybody for the well wishes. I see the worrying is never going to end until on or around Jan 4th.

reply

Great news BB. Im sure everything will be fine.....By the way, the worry dosent leave when the baby it born. I often ask my mother when I will stop worrying so much, she says probably when Billie is 150 years old.....hmmmm

reply

BB - that is so great! What a strong heartbeat your little one has! I wish we could U/S everyday!

reply

BB how exciting. I can't wait till my first us. I am spacing now a days. How far along are you right now? Good luck with everything I'm right behind you I think.

reply

Paige, I'm 7w2d. This was my second u/s because my progesterone dropped last week when I had my first one.

As far as my levels goes...they are back up. I'm to continue to take the prometruim, which is no problem with me as long as they are working. My next and final appt with my RE is June 2. I will be released to my OB/GYN. Oh, let the fun begin. Thanks, Shaz for looking out for me.

reply

BB I was reading your post on your last appt. It is good to hearyour levels are back up. Well I am a few weeks behind you. They won't let me go in until I am 9 weeks which actually is only 7 weeks pregnant. I can't wait. What was your last progesterone level. My second test came out lower but they said so far it was okay.

reply

BB, Im so glad that your levels are back up. That mst be a relief for you.....

Have you chosen an OB yet????

reply

Paige, my first prog level was 31, two days later it was 39. After two weeks, when I went in for my first u/s is had dropped to 16. As of Thursday, it was back up to 34.2.

Shaz, yes, I have a OB. My OB referred me to the RE.

Ladies, when do you do the babies room? I know everyones different but when are you mostly out of danger of m/c? cassandra

Hi Cassandra,

When I was pregnant with Billie, I didnt do or buy anything until I had had my 12 week ultrasound. It was more out of superstition than anything....Oh, and my mum wouldnt let me take the pram home until the Billie was born.....Some old wives tale says it's bad luck....

I would do what you are comfortable with. It is so much fun doing the baby's room, it makes it all so real. When I did do Billie's, I used to sit in it for hours.....I loved it.

What an exciting time for us all.

take care

Shaz

I won't have a full nursery for my baby. I have to rearrange my 12yo stepson room to accomodate the baby. I have some awesome ideas and I can't wait to get started.

reply

Thanks shaz! I'll wait. It's only 2more weeks until I'm 12 weeks. I still can't believe it...cassandra

reply

Hey Cassandra, I tyhink I will wait five months till I know the sex. I'm too scared something will happen knowing my luck. Plus I'm kinda lazy right now anyway. I miss caffiene.

reply

Paige,

Have you tried Dcaff coffee. If you get a good brand it tastes exactly the same.....It's funny though, pre-pregnancy, I would have had about 5 cups of coffee a day. Now I can only have one, it just dosent interest me anymore.....

When do you have your first ultrasound???

Hi Paige, I am also soo lazy. Sunday and yesterday were my days off and I did nothing. I can't wait to get my energy back! I have a tea in the morning, then after lunch before dinner I have a soda. I noticed the soda in the afternoon keeps me going at work.On my days off I take a nap at 5. Yesterday I slept until 8:30.
Last night my mother in law dropped by with some maternity clothes she bought for me. A pair of shorts and pants just fit. She's exchanging them for me. What a dear. I couldn't even fit a pillow into them! I'm trying not to be too depressed about it. They were a size large and I wear a lg/xlg anyways. Before I was pregnant I weighed 182. 170 is my goal after children are born. At 6ft tall it is my ideal weight. I know I'm blathering on but It seems I haven't talked to anyone in a while.
Last night I had a dream I had 2 girls. Only someone dressed them as boys and named them. By the time I took them home they were huge and I had to go back to work.Strange.
Shaz mentioned a trip to Austrailia and I know I can't afford it but I bet I have a dream about it!
Well Paige, I have to get ready for work. I hope you are doing well. When is your U/S? cassandra

reply

Hi Shaz, I actually hate the taste of coffee. I just miss my little energy boost. My nurse said I can have one cup a day. I figure I will have a cup a week when I really need it. My first us is in two weeks. I can't wait.

reply

Hi Cassandra I feel ya. My days off are the same. All I am drinking is tea and water. I cut the sodas out three months ago because of sweentners and sugar. I'm only eating a little fruit for sugar. So I guess I'm totally giving up my energy! I love spending some of my time sleeping in the middle of the day. I never used to take naps! My mother-in-law is taking me to look at some maternity clothes today. I told her I still need two months. They just do what they want. She's so excited this is her first grand child. I feel you on the wieght issue. I started at a size 9 at 160 at 5'7" I've only gained three pounds and I'm on my 7th week. I just want to be as careful as possible. Because of body building in the past my body's pretty thick already! My us is in two weeks from yesterday. I can't wait. I want to see if I'm having one or two. I think it's just one but will see. Hey if you ever want to talk leave me a personal message also. i check them daily :)

reply

Hi Paige! How did the shopping go? Maternity clothes are so expensive! Yikes! cassandra

reply

Cassandra,
Old Navy has a line of maternity clothes, they are not half bad on the price. You can find cute tops for $10.00 and capri's and shorts for around &20.00, and they are cute!!!!!!! I can't wait, I had to hold myself back from buying some last night and I am 10 days away from my consultation appointment. LOL I decided I better wait until at least the transfer.....ha.

reply

Hi Cassandra, maternity shopping put me in a little bit of shock! I want to wait another month before I go back. Hey it's the first time everything fit on the chest area :D

reply

Silvia, thanks for the tip! I love old navy!

Paige, I think my bust has gotten huge also..too bad my belly will dwarf it in a couple months :) cassandra

reply

Hi Cassandra I think i take back what I said about clothes shopping. Saturday night I went with my husband to watch a bodybuilding show and some of our friends came over and asked if I was pregnant. I think you can barely tell but I am starting to show a little. :)
