So they confirmed that yes indeed I am pregnant (like I didn't already know that after 5 POAS but at least that fear about it not showing up didn't happen). Due date 12/17-12/19 pretty much what I calculated (yes they actually gave me a range). Even though my tests at home have been quite faint, theirs was okay. Dr. said they would hav noted it on the lab sheet if it had been faint. They also did a beta test but I don't have the numbers back from that yet. Second beta on Thursday and an Ultrasound next Monday. I'll be 6 weeks 1 day for the ultrasound so I'm hoping that it's not too early too see the heartbeat but otherwise they were pretty much booked out into May for appointments. My first OB appointment is May 22nd but she won't make me have all the internal exams done sicne we just did that in January.
SO I guess it went but it does make the whole more real and thus more scary. I've kinda just been denying it. I was so happy and excited last time but things didn't work out. I feel like I'm cheating baby because I can't say I'm excited yet. Just plain scared. My doctor was very good about understanding where I was coming from. (She lost 2 babies from a triplet pregnancy). So I'm hoping that the ultrasound will go well and that baby will be just fine. I guess I'm glad it's not that far away. I'll post back when I get the numbers.

My daughter just turned 3 and she's a Cassandra. It was actually our "backup" name. We have a really long last name and always have a horrible time signing my full name in the little tiny spaces given so I told my hubby we had to give the kids short names. The boys are Jacob and Caleb and I was really hoping to go for the 5 letter thing for her as well however we couldn't find ANY girls names we could agree upon (except Emily but we won't use since our last name begins with a Z and didn't want our daughter to have the initials EZ). So we ended up with that name as our backup and planned to discuss names one more time. When I went into labor everything happened so fast there was no more time for discussion so that's what she got. You can laugh but I was trying to get my hubby to go for the Cassi spelling (in keeping with our 5 letter theme) but he wouldn't go for it. I use to try to pick uncommon names so we picked Jacob for our first because neither of us knew anyone adult or child with that name. It was in the top 10 the year he was born and has pretty much remained there since then. Sometimes you just can't win.
Good luck with your appointment too.

When I was pregnant with my first and complaining at 22 weeks that I hadn't felt anything, my doctor said for her the first movements felt like fluid movement - not kicks or bumps but liquid moving. I kinda nodded my head and said okay. That night, guess what I felt, fluid movement. I don't know if I felt it before that but either way I never would have suspected that was the baby moving even though it makes sense. Within 2 weeks he turned and was feet down and proceeded to STOMP on my cervix. That I felt, through every muscle in my body. When he FINALLY flipped to head down at 35 weeks I thought I'd be happy because the cervix kicking was painful. Of course he then spent the remainder of the pregnancy with his feet stuck between my ribs that I would actually have to push out of the way with my fingers so I could breathe easier. So I'm not sure I ever did get use those movements. But almost every woman I know seems to enjoy it, so I guess I'm just strange.

Stephanie:
I feel EXACTLY the same way. I got my first very faint BFP on Sunday. I'm still temping and testing everyday still and worried about any little indication that something could be wrong. A slight temp dip, a perceived lightening of a test.
All of it prevents me from being anywhere near as excited as I was the first time around.
Good luck on Monday. I get my second beta done then too =)
Sticky vibes coming at you....

Hi Stephanie,
I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. It is so hard to let yourself be really excited. I am so happy that your test came back with a good positive. That is great!
I will keep you in my thoughts.
