Wow, a week has passed since Stephanie started this thread. I liked it so much that I figurerd I'd start a new one for this week!
Personally, things continue to go really well. I wish I could stop obsessing but that's not in the cards yet! I'm really excited because I officially end the first trimester tomorrow (well for those of you who consider 13 weeks the end of the 1st trimester!). This is exciting, but also scary. Upto this point the only people I told I was pregnant were the ones that I was going to need to lean on if I miscarried- yes, I know that sounds horrible, but being through what we've been through you build up a lot of defense mechanisms!
On Monday, I told my boss- he was the very first person that I told that I was actually having a baby (not just pregnant). His attitude didn't really surprise me but it was not good. I'm a teacher and due at the end of April so that pretty much leaves me out most of the 4th quarter- 8 of the 9 weeks. He told me that I shouldn't tell any staff or parents until I have a long term sub lined up. I couldn't believe it. I'm definitel;y not ready to start calling subs- I mean I am still so nervous( I had a D&C last time at 13 w 0d- or tomorrow)! For this reason I think I'm going to truly not start calling subs for about 3-4 more weeks and then at that point hope I get one lined up before I start showing!
When did those of you having baby 2 or more start showing for the first one? Okay enough rambling!
Oh by the way, I absolutely love having the doppler. It is really helping to relax me! I can now find the heartbeat in 1 or 2 minutes and I just got it last week! :o)
Have a good week ladies!
Love,
Sarah

Hi Sara! I don't think any of us can stop obssessing. I still worry everyday. That is awesome you begin your next trimester tomorrow. I believe I am twelve weeks today. I will finally get to see the Dr. on Friday.
I , too, am a teacher and will miss the last two months of school (darn). I will have to find a long term sub too! I have NO idea who to ask. I am surprised he is having you ask so soon. My administrators don't know yet since I have been on vacation (I am year round). They will find out soon though since I spilled the beans to co-workers last week. Plus, my pooch is really beginning to pop out. It could just be bloating...I have alot of gas. I didn't think I'd show till the 4th month.
Sarah,
With my first I didn't start showing until I was
