Happy Hump Day!! We are half way through the work week and a day closer to me seeing my little one again!!


I am starting to get scared that the heart beat will be gone, but then I have to keep the faith that everything will be fine!


So how is everyone today?

Hey everyone
I am so excited... I was not nauseas this morning! I drank a decaf coffee, toast and an egg and STILL FEEL GOOD. I even ate my vitamins. I am going to do some gardening and then head off to a puppet show with Frost. Unfortunately, the laundry has another idea and is colonizing the basement AND the laundry closet and the floor of our room so I shall have to attack it before having too much fun, but still, a good start to the day!

I have never had pregnancy underwear. WHY? I mean, my panties just ride lower so they aren't in the way. Now pants and waistbands are another matter.

I have one week till my next OB appointment but I am hoping it is uneventful. I use the doppler every second day and have no trouble finding the heartbeat nowadays. It ranges from 140s to 160s....

Jenn...

I'm right with you with the nightmares. They've been so bad and/or crazy. I dreamed last night that I broke my arm while 8 months pregnant, and all my high school classmates were talking about it because we were still in high school. It was the 'big' talk in school. Then right after that, my next dream was I gave birth to an aliens baby. Aliens only have to be pregnant for 4 months. My doctors told me that I had a normal pregnancy. I kept saying that something was wrong, etc. Anyway, I had a girl, her name is Sidney and she weight 7 pounds. She also looked like a human, no traces of an alien life form in her.

Dreams, they are sometimes rather interesting.

Jenn,
Post 13 weeks I am enjoying the doppler. It was very hard earlier on and gave me nightmares. I think its a great thing to have in the second trimester OR if you are calm about not hearing anything some days. Personally, I don't think its good to use a doppler for 30 minutes at a time chasing the heartbeat but I am really happy using it for a few minutes every day or so when I want to know its okay.

Oh, about the nightmares. I have the most ridiculous ones. My latest was my ex-husband had turned into a psychopath and was hunting people at the same time as trying to get me to reconcile. I remember thinking "I hope its safe to talk to him, he doesn't seem to want to kill ME" while the police had ascribed up 5 murders to him. I woke just as he was arriving again and I was feeling particularly nervous because he didn't know I was pregnant. I mean, what IS this aboout?

Girls I am so happy to hear that you all are having these odd dreams. I have been having off the wall dreams. Last night freaked me out! The lack of symptoms has me so scared, but I am trying to keep faith over fear!

Jenn,

I know what you mean about being emotional, I cannot even listen to the radio anymore!! As far as the nightmares go, before I went for my 1st sonogram with this pg I kept dreaming of the technician saying "I am sorry there is no heartbeat" and I would wake up crying and in cold sweats. I believe that those types of dreams are just our anxiety that is always in the back of our minds. Like my DH keeps telling me "stay positive" and you will get through this with a wonderful blessing in the end!! Keep the faith!!

Belly Rubs,
Lisa

Lisa! Thanks for the sweet words!!


Ok so I have to vent!!! I was on the Jan EC board and this one post comes up!


(I just want to share that I have officially decided that I hate being pregnant. I am so sick of not feeling like myself. I finally stopped throwing up, but now am so constipated that I just want to cry. I am tired of my BBs hurting, tired of being tired, tired of being irratable, tired of not being in the mood for fun w/DH. I have always said that I only want 1 baby, and this reaffirms it for me. I simply despise all of this. I wish I could give up. )


I was just in awe that someone would write this, I almost let her have it but I held back and typed! Do you think that my response was ok?



I am so sorry that you are feeling like this, but it will all be worth it in Jan when you are holding your little one in your arms.


I know that I would throw-up, be consitpated and sick everyday for the whole 9 months if that meant I finally get to hold my angel in my arms!


Jenn
