I second the pretzel thing. I snack on them all day long.
Carolyn are you dizzy all day long or just in the morning? Anyone else? I woke up dizzy yesterday and am still dizzy today. All day....it is hard to focus or not fall over picking things up off the floor!!!!!! I look drunk!!!!!! Oh, for a glass of wine......
Hey girls! Seems like everyone is doing okay, poor nutrion aside (hahahah!) Root beer sounds amazing right now. Thanks for putting that into my head =)
I'm going to tell my parents I'm pregnant tomorrow at 5wks 4 days and my DH's parents on Saturday. It's before the ultrasound that I'll likely have on Tuesday but I'm going to do it anyway. It'll force me to have confidence in this pregnancy and to start enjoying it more. So far I've just been a worry wort and that's no good.
Hey Tara, I thought it really funny that you are after the olives. I have been scooping them from the bottle for the past few days (the green ones with pimento). Kalamatas don't do it for me!
Peggy - go girl! It is so cool that you are telling family. I haven't even mentioned this to my mother (who lives in Australia) because she gets so worried for me and checks up on me so often it sets me on edge. I think she gets as anxious as I do. I plan to tell her at about 10 weeks... (almost another month)... if everything looks good. I have told my MIL because we were up at her father's funeral last weekend and it felt like a good moment.
Molly - thanks for your encouragement. I hadn't realized that each of our losses has been in the same month! Its amazing. I haven't had the karyotyping test done yet but none of my other tests came back positive for anything so I am just having to hope something is different this time. Its great that your u/s showed such normal growth, dates and everything. Also, it was reassuring to see your U/S pic with the same shape sac as mine was... the sonographer told me it was fine but I wanted a nice oval.. you-know?
Oh, and everyone.. I asked the RE's nurse about symptoms as a guide to pregnancy success. She said THEY ALMOST ALWAYS FLUCTUATE. Its not worth panicking if symptoms subside for a day or so... only if they vanish entirely all week before 10 weeks. She said she has terrified women with IVF pregnancies phoning her daily saying "I'm not ill today, my bbs aren't sore" and then 2 days later they call and its all okay. So, she insists I not judge this myself and just wait for the next u/s. Fine by me!
I am off for bathtime with the Product of Successful Pregnancy #1. It is all worthwhile in the end, right?
As for it all being worth it in the Shannon, well, you're going to have to tell me. It's just me and DH here with this baby on the way so I have nothing to measure against.
I can tell you that if it weren't worth it I don't think we'd have a population problem. How's that for using overpopulation as a justification for worthiness of having another one. Holy crap, that was a mouth full! Just ignore me. I'm in this odd sarcastic-joking-dorky kind of a mood tonight.
Oh yeah. Forgot to tell you. Tomorrow was my EDD from my m/c. So I totally have to tell everyone about this baby tomorrow.
The stars are aligned my friends. This baby is a keeper. Speaking of star alignment. Did I tell you all the whacked out coincidences surrounding it? Keep in mind that I'm as atheist as it gets...
1. This BFP cycle I O'd the day after the anniversary of DH's G-Ma's death which was also my FIL's b-day. 2. I got my first BFP on easter sunday 3. Baby is due the day after X-mas 06 4. I get to announce this baby's existence on my m/c's EDD.
How screwed up is that? Maybe I should check into worshipping the G-Man in the sky if this works out. Okay, that was a joke. I'm just as solid in my belief in people and nature as some of y'all are in The G-Man. =) But those are some screwy coincidences eh?

Yeah, that's it, I'll blame the scale!!
