Hi!

We had our NT scan today and got more ultrasound pics. The OB who did the scan was pretty no nonsense and didn't say much except that the baby looked active. The results should be back in about two weeks...no news is good news!

Looks like I have another thumb sucker!

@autumnlove-- THANK YOU! and what a sweetie you have there!!! That's so cute that the baby is sucking his/her thumb!!!

@MrsWasatch: Thank you! I have terrible nausea right now...should I try to eat more throughout the day? I've been lazy with snacking!

Hi all. Just a note to explain why I've been quiet lately. I lost the baby on Wednesday. I have my one year old here nursing away while I type this and she truly had been my saviour. Hugs to all your little growing ones.

@IcebergMom: oh my god. I'm so sorry sending you huge hugs.

@IcebergMom: I'm so sorry

@IcebergMom: I'm so sorry hon *HUGS*

@IcebergMom: I'm so sorry for your loss.

@MrsTiz: Been thinking about you! Hoping that you get some good news at your appointment.

@MrsTiz: Thinking about you!!!!

Xoxo thanks everyone. I hope I took one for the statistics team and no one else has to go through this.

@mrstiz we will have New Years babes to look forward to. I hope everything goes smoothly and comfortably and quickly with your d&c

*hugs*

@Mrs.Tiz & @icebergmom-- so sorry for your losses. i had two losses last year (in march and dec)-- both naturally. if you guys need to vent or chat, let me know. take care of yourselves... xoxoxo

Hi May ladies! It's been quiet.... I'm still thinking about the sad news from @MrsTiz and @icebergmom, and hoping that you ladies are hanging in there.

How is everyone else doing? I'm just about 9 weeks right now. My nausea really was the worst from weeks 6-7 thankfully - it still hits me now but it's become a bit more manageable. I'm still only pretty much managing carbs and limited protein but at 9 weeks I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. My NT is scheduled for November 16, at which time we plan to go more or less public (not facebook yet), so that is my next milestone I guess.

I hope you all are feeling well!

@JoJoGirl: I was eating paleo/low carb when we got pregnant and have finally been able to start lowering my carb intake!

I'll be hitting 13 weeks on Sunday. My nausea has been on and off this week. Some days I feel like it's super manageable and then I have a horrible day like yesterday...where I was nauseous until about 8pm. The only other thing besides the exhaustion that is really bothering me are my hips! I wake up in the middle night with horrible hip pain and nothing helps. I sleep with a million pillows in hopes that will help...but nothing. The only thing that makes a difference is taking a bath before bed.

We had our first appointment with the midwife last week since being released from our RE. It went really well and I just have to work on keeping a diet log and pretty much get back to eating the way I was when we got pregnant. I shared with her that I've been feeling flutters since about 9.5 weeks and thought maybe it could possibly be the baby moving. I thought it was too early and I was probably crazy...BUT when she was having a hard time finding baby's heartbeat with the Doppler, she asked where I was feeling flutters and I pointed to the area...once she placed the Doppler there we heard baby kicking away and heard the strong heartbeat! She confirmed that I have been indeed feeling baby kick! I can feel the flutters when I'm real still sitting in traffic or laying in bed, I can't wait until my DH gets to feel some kicks!

Like you ladies, I am another paleo casualty, at least for the moment.

@Jojogirl, good luck with the cystic fibrosis screening for DH! I have a friend who is a carrier and I know that was a nerve wracking few days waiting for her husband's results. He ended up being negative. I have mixed feeling about facebook. I share enough that it would be odd for me not to post it at some point, but I'm just not dying to do it right away.

@EMG86, congrats on "graduating" from the RE! That is amazing that you are actually feeling flutters so early. I hope the hip pain eases up for you.

@Revel: I'm actually not so worried about it. The chances of him being positive are only 1 in 25, and even if he IS, I guess he needs to have the same kind of mutation that I do for it to be a risk to the baby, and then even if THAT happens, it's still only a 1 in 4 chance the baby has it. So overall I think it'll be fine. We'll just have to decide our next course of action if he is positive, ie do I want to do a CVS or not. We'll see.

Hi ladies! Yesterday was d&c so today is lazy day. Glad to hear hou are all doimg good!

@MrsTiz: Thinking of you! I hope recovery goes well and take it easy!

@Cupcake: Congrats on hitting the second trimester & your new mom car! Flutters could be the baby! For me, it felt like butterflies were in one particular spot and it felt like nothing I had ever felt before. My midwife said women who are in tune with their bodies can usually feel flutters early on especially when you're still. I've heard that as your entering your second trimester you might be able to figure it out because it might become more consistent. I can't wait for the strong kicks though!

I think my NT scan is going to be a victim of Hurricane Sandy! They've closed the subways and we *could* drive if the office is open (and I guess that's a big if?), but that seems sort of insane. We'd have to go over a bridge in Manhattan! In high winds! But on top of dreading rescheduling it, I was really looking forward to getting to see things again and hopefully feeling reassured that things are progressing... Ugh.
