So ladies, are you going to UPS me your extra babydust??? lol!! Don't worry, I am going to get that BFP this month.. I'll be pregnant before you know it!
So, how are you both feeling? TELL ME EVERYTHING!!! Do not think that I will tire of you going on and on and about being pregnant, because I want to hear all about it. It will help prepare me for what it will be like, especially since you two will hopefully only be one month ahead of me!
Sooooo.... what do you have planned for the weekend?
My weekend: Tonight we have tumbling classes, Kailey's next meet is in three weeks and she has to perfect some of her routine. Then Kailey Mike and I are having a weenie roast. It was so cute, Mike sent us invitations, we had to RSVP and everything. He has put alot of planning into this (like he does with everything) so I can only imaging what he has up his sleeve. Saturday the Ambassadors of Hope are painting murals on the walls of our local YMCA, I have a Bible Study, and then I Kailey is participating in a special church service for all of those who are going to receive their first communion. Sunday we are going to Mike's church for the service, Sunday school, and a potluck... then we are coming home to watch football, decorate for Halloween, and then I will write and submit my last article.
Sounds busy, but I hope it goes smoothly... Sometimes it feels like I need the week to recuperate from the weekend instead of the other way around.
Ok, I have one more buddy group to catch up on, and then I will have to force myself to get some paperwork done.
Talk to you both soon!
Jacque

Crap Crap Crap!!! I forgot to mention that I saw Amanda's photo!!!
Amanda: I clicked on your tiny pic link and I saw your wedding photo, you look just like I thought you would!!! Your dress is gorgeous, and your hubby is a cutie. Now I finally have faces to go with the names. About time! lol!! I have to show Mike, he listens to me going on and on and on about you (and the other ladies on this site).... but he told me I talk about you like I have know you all my life and you just lives down the street!!!

I am still glowing from my BFP! I am also feeling a bit cautious too because I am already sooo attached and excited about this baby, I just don't want to be disappointed again. But I do have a good feeling about this pregnancy (not like last time). Alex and I decided to tell one person each and then wait until Thanksgiving to tell everyone else (which will be hard for me to do because I want to shout it from the rooftops). I told my best friend and she is very excited. Unfortunately she is moving to Colorado soon but she says since the baby will be born in June her kids will be out of school and she'll be able to come out after he/she is born. Alex has decided to tell his boss (who he is very close with).
Okay Jacque-for the nitty gritty pregnancy details- I still have cramping off and on, sometimes fairly intense (makes me feel okay cause I had the same with Abbie). Insomnia-I got up at 4oclock yesterday and today and couldn't get back to sleep (again I had the same in early pregnacy with Abbie). Not quite nausea, but almost, sort of a feeling of unwellness (I was nauseas yesterday while I cooked dinner). My nipples are KILLING me, I had to wear a bra last night to keep my shirt from rubbing on them. DH says my boobs are definitely bigger. Oh and by the way, DH apologized for telling me that yesterday's test was negative-he felt bad. You have such a busy weekend, I would never make it through.
My weekend-Saturday I work, Sunday my parents are coming for dinner, otw nada-just the way I like it.
I'm glad you liked our photo. I'll have to post some more recent ones but I'm always behind the camera.
Kristina-Your baby ticker has already moved up, I'm jealous. 2 inches-is that really true? From grape size to 2 inches in a few days, I know they grow fast, but sheesh! Maybe that's because you are now in the second month. Hope you are well!
Love and sticky babydust!

Well not much going on here. The weekend was uneventful. We had a patio put in last week so we did spend a lot of time out in the backyard enjoying it. DH said he had a hard time keeping the pregnancy quiet while my parents were here yesterday. I actually didn't think much about it while they were here cause all I could think about was shoving mass quantities of food into my mouth-I am sooo hungry this time around, I'm sure that will go away once morning sickness sets in full force. I did have a horrible nightmare last night that I was having a m/c and I saw the baby on ultrasound and it was telling me goodbye. I woke up crying and was really really upset but by the light of day I know it was just a dream and it was just my subconscious fears surfacing in the dream. This pregnancy will obviously be different because I will no longer be blissfully unaware of what it's like to miscarry. I think I will be really anxious until I can feel the baby moving. If only DH could steal an US machine from work! It's only like a $10,000 piece of equipment!
I hope you girls had great weekends!
Love and sticky babydust!

Good morning ladies! Well, I wrote and submitted my last article.... I had a really hard time with it. I cried while I typed it... I hope it does not suck. I tried to go out on a good note, and I tried not to lie, but it was hard... what am I supposed to day, "Dear Reader, I cannot write for the Star Courier anymore because Mike and I would like to have another baby and we need more time to screw like rabbits!" Anyway, if you want I can post a copy of the last article and you can let me know what you think. The nursery is almost done, I will update the site later today, when i do I will let you know and you can take a look. We are almost done!!!! Then I can put up all of the furniture! I cannot wait. When we were trying for Kailey Mike told me that we would not get a BFP until we had our apartment ready for a baby... the month we finished moving in and painting etc we got that BFP. So as silly as it sounds part of me thinks that I am not going to get a BFP until after the room is complete! This weekend we.. went to church twice (once at Kailey's Church and once at Mike's). Went to a potluck, painted the YMCA, had tumbling practice, went to the store, and watched football... oh, we also decorated the house for Halloween. Today I have an easy day, there is no school... which usually means I have a super crazy day, but since most parents have today off most of them kept their kids! I only have four here today so I hope to get the baby photos in the computer and get alot of painting done. Amanda: I am glad that everything is going well, and that your symptoms are comparable to Abbie's pregnancy. I know that the thought of having a m/c will always be in the back of your mind. But remember, that the chances of it happening again are sooo slim. If you need to talk about it I am here, but at the same time I will do my best to keep your thoughts away from that. Every pregnancy is different, and this one will end with you pushing a perfect little baby out a hole the size of a lemon!!! I think it is so cute that your hubby had a hard time keeping it a secret from his parents! So, are you definitely going to wait until 12 weeks, or do you want to cave and start telling people sooner? 
Kristina: How are you feeling? Have you told anyone yet?
Have either of you made your first appointment yet? How long will you have to wait to have an ultrasound???Jacque |

So Jacque to answer your question. I already had a routine physical and PAP smear scheduled for this Friday with my family physician. The way our insurance works is that you have to go and have a pregnancy test ordered by a physician at a lab that comes back positive before you can be referred to an OB. So I will go and do my lab test and see what my doc says. I don't know if she'll still want to do the PAP or wait for the OB to do it. But I really want to get to the OB so I can have an early US just to put my mind at ease. My guess is that once I get the referral (it takes about a week in the mail) I'll be seen within 2 weeks at the OB's office (hopefully). I'll let you know.

Amanda: Friday.... well that is right around the corner!!! I hope you can get into the OBGYN within a month. Will you be going to the same DR that you went to with your last pregnancy? When are you going to tell Abbie?? When you do tell your family are you going to have Abbie do it??
I know this is early... but what do you ladies think you are going to have??

I know you both just got your BFP... and that you are on cloud nine... but I need to vent a bit. The last thing I want to do is be a complainer, but I am on the verge of tears again and if I do not talk to someone I think I might start crying in front of the kids...
I am having such a hard time today. It all started when I was cleaning up my room and came across Trent's sonogram photo. I broke down.... my positive feelings went out the window as I sat on the floor and cried. I then went and started updating the baby site, I got alot done... started added new photos and all kinds of stuff. Then I decided it was time to finish Trent's page. I lost it again.......... That was earlier in the day... I am doing better now, but still down in the dumps.
I also feel out of the loop... I cannot describe it, but I feel this distance between me and EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD! Anymore I feel that the only people that understand me are the ladies on this board. I really do not know what I would do without you. It is wonderful knowing that I have you ladies to talk to, not just about TTC... but about everything. lol Maybe I just need a good nights sleep and I will feel better in the morning.
Our anniversary is tomorrow, and tomorrow is also our first day of baby dancing. I hope that will pull me out of the dumps...... I am going to work on the baby site some more. I will post when I am finished so you all can take a look and let me know what you think!
Love and sticky baby dust!

Jacque,
It took me 5 months to get back to normal without thinking that I'm not going to get my BFP after my m/c in April. Sept I told myself to calm down and relax and think positive. And you know that's when I got my BFP.
I had a friend who just had a m/c last month and got pregnant 2nd month of trying me on the other hand took me 7 months. So I quess it's your body who has to tell you when your ready no yourself. I was very jealous when she got her BFP but know it's the other way around. You see life STINKS BIG TIME !!!!!
Keep positive thoughts and be calm and you will defiantly get your BFP. Good Luck.
Well my symptoms are sore nips and haven't been sleeping very good. And if I don't eat when I'm hungry I get very cranky and starving like I never ate before. i haven't had any cramps at all and the last time I was dying from cramps so hopefully that is a good sign.
My doc appointment is Tues18 where they will confirm my BFP and tell me my due date. They will probably schedule a sonogram 1 or 2 wks after my appointment like they did the last time.

Jacque-I am so sorry you are having a difficult time. I still have days where cry about my m/c- it is just so unfair! Then people think that getting pg should just happen and when it doesn't happen right when you're ready that feels like another loss all over again. I think that once I was ready to try again it made me even more desperate to be pregnant since I had lost my previous pregnancy. Maybe take a time out on the baby site for a few days until you are feeling better. I think today is just a bad day because I believe that you are an eternal optimist-that is why I love you so much! It is still okay for you to grieve for Trent. He was a special part of your life and it is normal for you to be sad that he is not with you.
Are you going to do something special for your anniversary-or are you just going to spend the whole day doing it like rabbits? I would also like to read your last article when you have a few minutes to post it. I think it was brave that you decided that you needed more time to bring a baby into your life and gave up something that you obviously enjoyed.
Please know that we are here for you-just like you are here for us. I will be thinking of you today and sending my extra babydust on to you and Mike's bedroom for tomorrow (day 1 of babymaking Olympics!)
Love and sticky babydust!
Amanda

I never answered Jacque's questions from a few days ago. I will not go back to the Dr. I had when I had my m/c cause her staff was incompetent and I didn't like her all that well. The doc who took care of me for my D&C is very nice but not in our insurance group, so since I would have to pay cash to see her, I don't think I will be going to her. Alex got a recommendation from the women's and children's clinical nurse specialist at work for a physician that has a great bedside manner and is really respected by the OB nurses so I am going to ask for a referral to her. He said he has sat on a committee with her once and she was very nice. Hopefully she will work out.
I'm not sure when we will tell Abbie-probably around Thanksgiving so that she can wear her "I've got Big news, I'm going to be a Big sister" shirt to Thanksgiving dinner-that's how we will tell the family. We will probably send out an email announcement when we have an ultrasound picture to tell everyone else.
I don't have any real "feelings" about this baby but whenever I think of him, I think of him as a "him". But I felt the same with Abbie and we even called her Anthony until we found out she was a girl. I really really want a boy! So I don't know if that is clouding my perspective.
Jacque-I am still waiting for details about your anniversary!!
Kristina-I wrote all about how to poop on the June due dates board, just for you!
Love and sticky babydust!
