Ibbygirl Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks, all! It's hard not to still worry a little when you read about so many other women having levels way into the 5,000's or more by this stage, but all I can do is reassure myself that they are rising/doubling like they should and wait to see that heartbeat! 9 more days to go, at least it's a single digit wait now! :D Yep! It will be here soon! :) Hang in there hon. How is your throat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 My throat is tons better. It doesn't hurt to swallow anymore, though I have a post nasal drip that makes my throat scratchy and makes me cough, especially as I'm falling asleep. Still taking antibiotics and ear drops. I made it to the 6 week mark as of today with no problems! :) 8 more days until my ultrasound! Last night I was watching A Baby Story show from TLC and my 11 y/o dd came in to watch. She turned to me and asked if I was ever going to have another baby because she really wanted a little sister (but not another little brother because they are annoying haha) and that she would help take care of it and change diapers and everything. It was a little tempting to go "Well, actually...!" but I just told her to watch the show lol. I don't want to get the kids excited and then have to give them bad news, so I want to make sure there is a heartbeat at the very least, and maybe even get through the first trimester before I tell them.

Mommee & Baba Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Wow! What a journey you & your "sweet pea" are off to together already! I just sat here this morning & read through all 46 pages of this thread!! I'm praying for you & your family. Thanks for sharing this journey with The Hive. What a blessing for us too! I hope all goes well at your dr. visit & you get to recovering from the sickies soon! I remember sharing the news of a new sibling with our children right after I found out was exciting. We found out only a few weeks later it was only the "home" for baby & no baby. It was not only devastating for dh & I, but our kidlets too! I advise waiting to share the news as you are.

My kids still talk about the baby I lost just before 6 weeks 5 years ago. When I got pg with my youngest I did not tell them until after that first u/s when I saw the hb, then I felt safe enough to tell them. Can't wait to hear about your u/s once the day arrives. I am so glad that thus far everything is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Keep busy so time flies on by. I'm trying! Yesterday I went to a used book sale, took my daughter to judo, took my son to teeball, cleaned my kitchen and read almost a whole book lol. Today we are taking the kids to a festival from 12-4. Wanted to go get a pedicure first but they don't open until 11 so will have to do that another time. Tomorrow the kids have dentist appointments and I have a mom's night out dinner. Maybe I will get my pedicure in the afternoon in between those things. :D And of course still trying to wrap up school! 5 more days! Until the u/s, not of school. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever asked about the manicure- my husband did my nails for me later that day after I got the pedicure! He's good at stuff like that. He would have done my toes, too, but I wanted all the trappings of a salon pedicure. :D Anyway... Only two more days, so I can now say my u/s is "the day after tomorrow!" That sounds so close!!!

NanceXToo Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's TOMORROW! :hurray: It's at 9:20 AM EST so around 25 hours from now, I'll be heading in for my ultrasound! Getting more nervous and excited all at once! I just REALLY hope everything measures how it should, and there's a heartbeat and so on! Fortunately, I will be able to stay busy and distracted today. I am leaving around 9:30 this morning for a field trip- we're touring an alpaca farm an hour away from home with our homeschool group. I won't get home from that until probably 2-2:30, and at 6 PM, my son has a teeball game. In between, I'll do a little schoolwork with my daughter, watch some of those "Baby Story" shows I recorded to DVR, read my book, and count down the hours... Nance, (who made it to 7 weeks today with no known problems)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
