Diane: I am glad you dropped in, I was just thinking of you! How are you feeling? Just a few short days, then you will be 12 weeks, then shortly after that you will be done with your first trimester! Are you starting to feel more secure with each passing day? Holy cow I feel like I have been MIA for forever, but it has only been a few days. Work has been so busy, plus I have been squeezing in two workouts a day! It is working because I am up to over 12 pounds lost! I am actually excited about working out today and weighing in tomorrow!!! AF is gone, and we started baby dancing last night. Here is to cycle #9! My due date would be late November, a few days after Thanksgiving.... which means I would not be HUGE when it was summer!!! I hope this is it! **PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE THE MONTH!** I truly hope the luck of the Irish are on my side.... even though I am German! lol The good news is that I will have a slow day today.... so I will have time to catch up and to reply to posts right away.... Jacque

Hi Jacque. you are doing great with your weight loss ;D and exercising ;D Remember BD is exercising also! Yeah on AF gone! I always got in a better mood once she leaves. November babies are the best - Jacob was born in November. I actually enjoyed the whole pg. This pg I will be very pg come summer, looking for a cheap maternity swimsuit - yuck but needed. yeah, you are right each day I get better. actually looking forward to being off hte prgoesterone. I am on it every other day, and I feel so much better on the day I didn't take it! 2 more doses Friday and Sunday and then I am done! ;D just the little baby is ready!

Diane: That is so awesome that you are almost done with the meds! What great news!!!! --- A maternity swimsuit, lol... they are all so ugly, but I hope I have to buy one soon also! --- I am glad you are feeling better with each passing day, I know that once you have your next appointment and you make it past the 12 week mark there will be a HUGE weight lifted off of your shoulders. --- Thanks for the weight loss support, I am so excited to weigh in on Friday... I am just a few ounces away from 13 pounds... and 15 pounds is my second goal! My first was 10 pounds.. and my third goal is to get to 20! 20 POUNDS!!!! How awesome would that be! I thought of you the other day when I was looking for Big Sister things on the net, there are so many cute big brother things out there too! So... are you having a boy or a girl? Come on, I love hearing guesses... and the best part is that one day you can thing you are having a girl, and the next you can thing you are having a boy! Jacque

If I had to guess I would say girl due to higher h/b than JAcob and more m/s!
20 pounds isn't that far off, now you will have to set your next goal!

Diane: It would be beyond awesome if you had a little girl.... so you are definitely finding out the gender? Have you talked about names? Bought anything? Or are you going to wait until the end of the first trimester before you go hog wild? Jacque

Oh, yes we will find out the gender as long as the baby cooperates!!!! The only baby item I bought was a baby gym - on clearance at Toys R us for $15 when normally they run $50. Good luck with weigh in today!!!!!!!!!! you are doing awesome. Good luck today Linda! where have you been? ??

Linda: Good luck today! I cannot wait to hear how everything went, and hopefully see photos of your little baby!
Diane: I LOST TWO MORE OUNCES!!!! I know that is not much, but if I lose that much over the day today then that means that I have reached 13 pounds lost! WooHoo!
Have either of you gained any weight yet? Is it almost time for maternity pants yet?

Diane: That is cool that you have lost four and that you are not gaining, I hope that is a sign of good things to come! How much did you gain when you were pregnant with your son? The fuuny thing is that we "forget" the pain of delivery, but EVERYONE remembers how much they have gained with each pregnancy! lol
Linda: I wish I knew what time your appointment was....
Anyway, the bank just called and some idiot in Europe has gotten a hold of my debit card number, and is as we speak trying to steal my money (what little there is) lol! Anyway, the drama continues..... the account is on hold, and I just sent out a bunch of bills, the bank says it only effects debit transactions, so I hope this is true I would hate it if my checks were sent back. I have to call Mike now and tell him, he is going to be so happy!

Jacque - that stinks! I can't believe someone got ahold of you debit card # and using it.
If it was a big item I sent $ on, like house or car payemnt I would let them know that someone took your # and some acct activity is on hold so if they get a bounced check they won't charge you!

Well, all they did was bloodwork, it really dissapointed me, but I can't make them give me an u/s, so I have no new news. I did however rent a doppler to be sent to me immediately tomorrow, because I'm sick of waiting, I paid $35 for it to be delivered, but at this point I don't care! I'm desperate! Anyway, I can stop taking progesterone, thank goodness! I still have to take my other meds for now though.
Jacque - in answer to your question, I've lost 5 lbs and I'm definitely in maternity pants, my stomach has swelled up so much already!

Well Linda... In this case, we will say no news is great news! I thought you had a Doppler, wait... maybe that was Diane, I am so confused!!! Either way, I hope it works and that you will hear your little one's heartbeat soon after the Doppler is delivered! -- WOOHOO!!! That is awesome that you have lost weight, what is even better is the fact that you are in Maternity pants also!!! I cannot wait to join you!
Diane: Thanks for the advice, I talked more with the bank and expressed my concerns, they assure me that I need not be worried. I did take your advice though and called some of the business' I wrote larger checks to, and they all said that they will notify me ASAP if there are any issues with the checks I wrote to them!

Jacque - I do have one, but it's a cheapo one and is not picking up a HB yet! It's getting very worrisome, so I'm getting one from babybeat that I know works cause I used them when I was pg with Luke and Joshua!
Regarding the weight loss, I guess I can be thankful for food aversions and morning sickness! I hate chocolate and fast food burgers now! All I eat is healthy food, because it's all I want! Everything else makes me want to throw up! LOL!

sorry you couldn't get them to do an u/s. I love my doc because he does an early u/s and if the doppler didn't pick up the h/b he would do another one to confirm all is OK!
Wow, you are stopping the progesterone sooner than me and I was scared at 11 weeks. I have one more dosetomorrow than I am all done.
Wow, in maternity clothes already. I will probably start wearing mine soon.
Jacque - glad the bank eased your fears, and I am sure your creditors are thankful you called!

Linda: It is so awesome that you actually WANT to eat the healthy food! Be sure to drink plenty of water.... How did the new doppler work out for you, did you hear anything? Remember, DO NOT FREAK OUT! Things are going great, and if there was reason to be concerned I am sure that the Dr would tell you. (((HUGS))) Diane: How was your weekend? So.... as of today you are both officially medication free, right?This weekend was so awesome, I spent the majority of it at church and reading, I know BORING! LOL but it was so nice not to have much to do. Friday night we watched movies, Saturday we ran some errands and then watched another movie and then Sunday we went to the Olive Garden and Barnes and Nobel. I ate way to much, and I am not even going to get near the scale until Wednesday just to be sure. lol At Barnes and Nobel I bought - Two Princess Diaries books, now I have them all!, The 5th Georgia Nicholson Book, and a book called a few good eggs. The last one is about TTC and it taking forever! I love it, it is sooo funny but has lots of stories of personal experiences and information! I am such a book junkie.... I swear I could open my own library... in fact our next house will have a library!!!! It will be small (nothing like what the Beast had on Beauty and the Beast) but still... it will be mine! Ok ladies... there is no school today, so I best be checking on the kids. I only have 6 here today and they are all school aged, so it will be an easy easy day! Jacque
