Yes, happy mother's day everyone! I can't believe my first OB appointment at 10 weeks is only 11 days away. I have reached my first OB appointment with 2 of my miscarriages but never a week past it. So, I am trying not to jump ahead but I MIGHT GET THERE!
Frost, 11am Sunday: "Mummy, when is Daddy going to wake up? If he doesn't wake up soon I am going to wake him up. Make time for 10 minutes then if Daddy doesn't wake up in 10 minutes I'll go wake him up."
Shannon I have absolutely no doubt that you will not only make it to that milestone but breeze by it.
Did Frost have to get up his sleepy Daddy? And what's the deal, YOU should be the one sleeping in. You're going to have to remember this oversite on Father's Day.
Hey Peggy That's the problem. Josh doesn't care if I do nothing for Father's Day. He considers these manufactured holidays. Anyway, he went out and bought me bath salts and a keylime pie so he is forgiven. He rose at NOON!
I am more hopeful thesedays (about making it past 11 weeks for the first time in 5 years) but today I felt less ill and did lots of gardening so of course I worry a little. Nausea, come in nausea! I shouldn't really worry because last night I threw up a bit for the first time. Oh, I felt so much better afterwards.
I almost told my mother today (on Mother's day) but decided to wait till the week after the 10 week OB appontment. It never feels as secure as I imagine it will on any date. I am only 8 and a half weeks so... maybe by eleven weeks...
I had an awesome mother's day. My DH was incredible. He made me crepes for brunch with chocolate dipped fruit (I know, groan, you're going to hate me now!) and coffee. I didn't throw up all day, even though at one point I fought it. We went shopping and I got to get some new maternity items with my birthday money, I got my hair trimmed and layered, and DH and I went to a movie while my parents had our girl!
It was such a good day, and then right before going to sleep last night I tried the doppler rental at 10w2d and there was the heartbeat I was hoping for -- finally! I listened to it twice and it was 158 bpm, and 162 bpm. I am so happy! I was dreaming last night that I needed to wake up so I could tell you guys!
Carolyn: I'm with you on the nausea. I would LOVE to be free from it for at least a little while. Fortunately it is getting somewhat better sometimes.
Jenn: Congrats on your fab Mother's Day. What a sweet DH you have. My mother's day started out terrible and ended up really good. I'll blab more about that in a second.
Tara: My fingers are tied in knots for you for getting that heart beat read from you doppler. MMMmmmmm...breadsticks. Love breadsticks.
All: My Mother's day started out crappy. DH didn't wish me a happy mother's day. I guess he didn't know if it was appropriate given that it is only an embryo. Yeah, an embryo that is kicking my butt!
Anyway, I called my Mom (she lives in another state), her memory is getting worse. Between that and a few other family things that are going on right now I started bawling my eyes out when I got off the phone. Mostly I'm just so utterly sick and tired of feeling like what did Jenn call it? That's right. I feel like a CRAP BAG!
Then I went to my MIL's house. My MIL bought all the Mom's in the family a corsage and she INCLUDED me!! Yay! I felt so much more a part of the fam then I normally do. That was great. People seem to be able to connect to me more when I feel like a CRAP BAG. And my MIL made all the mom's a quilted table runner. I've ALWAYS wanted her to quilt something for me. I almost started crying when I got it. It was so nice. She obviously thought of me when she made it because it matches my house and my tastes perfectly. What a nice lady. Anyway, it ended up being a great day over all.

I want to wish all my besties a Happy Mother's

Me: What are you going to do when he wakes up?
Frost: I dunno. I just like it when he wakes up!
Me too! This is mother's Friggin Day, right?

Cass- I'm thinking of you and want to let you know that we'll all be there with you today, in
Happy post-Mother's Day, ladies.
Cassi, I'm sorry you are in such a worried state.
I have a MAJOR RAVE! Actually multiple ones:

Cassi, have you tried your doppler again lately?
Yay Jenn!!!
