@megz06: cute pictures!! I can't wait to be out of the first tri and start taking allergy meds again. I think my headaches are due to sinuses.

@T.H.O.U.: that's awesome about the clothes. It's like Christmas opening them up! And I'm sorry about the allergies. My doctor didn't say anything about it, so I've been taking mine. Hoping you get some relief soon!

@megz06: love the pictures! Are you going to tell people after Friday?

@T.H.O.U.: @jhd: @Dandelion: Thanks ladies!!

@LovelyPlum: Thanks! Yes, we are going to tell people Friday. The plan is I tell my BFF tonight because I don't see her often. Friday after our appointment, my DH, since he has the day off, gets to do lots of calling since he is the only one of us with grandparents still alive (two sets of grandparents and a single grandmother). After that, my mom can go nuts with calling, and at 5, when we go out to have a celebratory meal with my parents, I'll tell my aunt, who is like a second mom to me. Then later on Friday evening we'll be posting that pic on FB. So much excitement, lol.

I've told a few people, now. Nothing official on facebook or anything, but I told my mom she can tell her siblings (she's one of 6, so it's a big family), but they're still keeping it off FB. I've told a few close friends also.

@T.H.O.U.: 13 weeks. Nothing eventful pregnancy related going on, except for the little bit of movement I've mentioned. I'm thankful to be going to another prenatal a week from Friday. Seems like time is flying by a little faster this pregnancy...which is good!

I'm officially out. Having a d&c tomorrow. I know this was just not meant to be this time and hopefully things will work out better next time. Best of luck to all of you ladies!!!

@Kate6214: I'm so sorry

@Kate6214: I'm so sorry for your loss.

@Kate6214: I'm so sorry Sending you strength and prayers for healing.

@T.H.O.U.: I think I maaaay be feeling something. There have been a few times where I've felt something, but I don't know what it is. I've also been getting some cramps again, so it's hard to tell what is going on down there!

@megz06: I agree! I know I shouldn't be worried, but I can't help myself. I am really excited to see baby Plum again!

I'm not normally a Facebook person, but I have to put this out there:

I've seen at least 5 pregnancy announcements in the last week, and it makes me realllly want to scream- "me too! me too!!" It's not usually a big deal to me to post things, but it's HARD not telling people yet. I think we'll do it this weekend, after my NT scan. Seriously, though, what has gotten into me??

I went to a child care fair at my university yesterday to learn about some of the options nearby, and OMG overwhelming! I feel like it's SO early to be even thinking about it, but a lot of the places near me have applications due this winter for September admissions. Crazy!!

Also, I had a really weird symptom last night: at like 4am, I woke up with a dull pain under my left rib. So weird! I couldn't fall back asleep for like an hour

@LovelyPlum: wow 5!! not many of our close friends are having kids yet, but we were at a small party last weekend with 5 different couples (friends of dh's from college, not people I know well), and of them, one is having a baby in Dec, one in Oct, one had a baby last April (and he was the sweetest, calmest baby ever! I want ours to be like him, haha!), plus me. We didn't know all the people so we didn't want to announce (although we told the few people we did know well right before we left), but it was SO hard to sit and listen to all the pregnancy/baby convos without fully chiming in! I had to keep all my questions and comments so vague and hypothetical, haha

@LovelyPlum: Last year, I swear about 10 other women on my facebook were due the same time around me.

So far, no one has said anything about being due near me, yet. Just one girl is about 10 weeks ahead of me. I'm interested to see if anyone comes out of the woodworks when I finally say something.

Just made a big first purchase! We got the second seat to make our B-Ready a double!

@megz06: lol on your mom! I can't wait to join in, but then I panic and think, "wait, no one can know yet!" Silly pregnancy hormones.

@nana87: we are doing this in a few weeks! Super, crazy overwhelming. But like you, our university daycare has quite a waiting list. We need it for August, and I'm not sure we'll get in...or whether it's priced out of our reach...we'll see in a few weeks. Super vague convo is really hard!

@T.H.O.U.: that does sound fun! And I saw about YHL...that is super exciting. Yay for the Britax seat! Is it feeling more real??

@Dandelion: a bunch of people didn't announce until 20 weeks. So, I'm pretty excited to see who come out of the woodwork soon. I haven't had many friends with babies recently, and all of these aren't close friends. It's just funny how, even among acquaintances, there seems to be baby booms!

@luckypenny: only one April-a few February and March, though!

Big day today: I'm 13 weeks!! I think it will feel more real, and I'll be more comfortable telling people after our NT scan tomorrow. I'm a little nervous, but excited!

ETA: I just got my first "are you sure it's not twins?" comment from someone at work. Really? I'm sure.

@LovelyPlum: Yea for your NT scan tomorrow. I agree we are going to be comfortable telling people after ours October 11.

I think most of my FB friends are done for now, lol. 3 just had babies a few months ago (so my FB was full of babies-and still is really), and I only have a few that could be on the maybe list for getting pregnant, but they all have at least two kids now.

@LovelyPlum: Hmm...I wonder what exactly it is. I was really crampy all last week. This is the first day I haven't been crampy. I am going to ask Friday because I know first tri is ok to cramp, but it just seemed weird that I wasn't for so long and then it suddenly came back. I drink 8 glasses of water a day (actually more), but perhaps I need to up it even more maybe?

@T.H.O.U.: I just saw that about YHL too Fun! Love them!
