@rins72: welcome and congrats!

@MrsScottish: Cute! Love this!!

I've been pretty superstitious since the second line showed up on the HPT, so haven't allowed myself to go there yet. SO MUCH rides on my appointment this week. I feel like if baby is right on track I'll allow myself to start dreaming/obsessing over things like nurseries.....even though 7.5 weeks isn't "out of the woods," it will be good to feel like we're on track! All that being said, I think I'd love a book theme.....our nursery space is verrrrry small, so it will require a lot of creativity in a small space:-).

Just 2 Team Green mamas? Any more?

@rattles: Right?? I was hesitant but the deal was too good to pass up. I was thinking of getting one of those fancier cribs but really, if we are going to have another kid when this LO is around 2, I don't see this going past toddler bed, if even that, before it goes back to crib status. Plus with the inevitable teething marks that it will get and the normal dings, I can't justify spending a lot. Also, I love a deal lol.

It's going to take about a month to get here because the cherry color is on back order, but that's just fine because we have to clear out the nursery, anyway. It's currently a junk room.

@Mrs.Panda: We are full on pink or blue whenever we can find out. I actually have a gut feeling as to what I think it is, but whenever I guess for other people I'm typically wrong, so maybe it's actually the other? Who knows:-).

Well, my labs are back from Thurs and not only do I get to take progesterone for the next month, I have a UTI and will be taking antibiotics for the next week. AAAH! I hate how many pills pregnancy makes you stuff down. (I am thinking of the current prenatal + DHA, unisom and zofran...and all the extra fiber to counteract the zofran!) Boo on adding more pills but I guess I will be thankful that I haven't had any UTI symptoms.

@MrsScottish: I would think any kind of provider would regularly use a doppler to hear heartbeat? Maybe you could ask before buying your own...unless you just want to have one to play around with, I could see that being fun/comforting- as long as the heartbeat is easy to find.

@theotherstark: we don't mind the company start the December thread maybe? But until then sick around!

@tororojo: I wish unisom worked for me but I'm glad you didn't have any UTI symptoms those are the worst. What was your progesterone level?

@tororojo: That's what I thought initially, they say they want you between 18-25 but I tested at 11.9 and they said they don't supplement unless you are below 10. To me that is crazy low, but I guess every doctor is different. I am convinced that's why I have been bleeding so much. Luckily I haven't spotted for a few days so I hope it resolved but that kind of irks me!

@Mrs.Panda: @MrsScottish: Thank you!! Maybe I will follow both, then I didn't want to be a weirdo butting in when I'm not due this month, but if you all don't mind ... I'll probably start a Dec board in another day or two. I just am nervous since I'm still so early!!

@Mrs.Panda: Hmm, intriguing about you thinking the spotting is due to low prog. I was actually worried I was low in prog (since I consistently had super light spotting the past two months at 8 and 9dpo, then nothing until my period at 13 dpo), so I started eating tons of the foods that are said to be high in prog (mainly walnuts, dark chocolate, and spinach). No spotting this month, and I got my BFP! Not saying that's what did it, but it didn't hurt I'm glad your spotting has stopped, though

@ShayNanigans: OMG!!!! Congratulations!!!

@ShayNanigans: HOLY CRAP!!! Twins! Congratulations!! Is it weird that I was slightly disappointed to only see one little heartbeat at our first scan? lol But yay!!!

Ack! I have been busy and missed a bunch the last couple days so I will try to catch up really quick hehe.

@rins72: and @theotherstark: congrats and welcome!

@Ms.Mermaid: I am sorry to hear about the fight with your parents. That always sucks, but hopefully it will all get worked out soon.

@MrsScottish: that hamper is an awesome find. It looks so neat we haven't talked about the nursery yet...we want to go to our first appointment before we start getting too excited.

@Mrs.Panda: that crib is beautiful and what a great deal! Its so awesome that you were able to hear your baby's hb with the home doppler already, I have to admit I am kind of a little jealous you all are so far ahead of me.

@ShayNanigans: CONGRATS! Twins that is so exciting!

Oh man, so much to catch up on on Mondays, since I try to stay off my computer on the weekends!

@ChiCalGoBee: Glad to hear your race went well! I am so impressed you were able to do it. I have a feeling exercise isn't going to be my friend during pregnancy, since I kept felling like I was getting a pulled muscle or hernia when doing my pure barre classes, so had to quit last week. Also, I love your idea of a book themed nursery!

@rins72: welcome and congrats!

@Ms.Mermaid: sorry to hear you're angry with your parents. But yay for Zofran!

@MrsScottish: cute hamper! A safari nursery is one of my favorite themes, I just helped one of my friends put her safari nursery together this winter! Also, hope you feel better soon.

@thisisme: such a sweet DH you have!

@Mrs.Panda: Hooray for finding the heartbeat at home, that is awesome! Did you get the doppler on ebay?

@tororojo: sorry to hear you're now in the progesterone supplements club. They're a pain, but not too horrible depending on what kind you're prescribed.

@ShayNanigans: Yay for first scan success!!!! What great intuition you had.

So, you can add me to the list of ladies with scary spotting episodes. Friday evening I started spotting, and it was bright pink and freaked me the EFF out. Luckily after about 4-5 hours it started tapering off and turned to brown CM. But I headed into my RE's office first thing Saturday for a walk in scan. Thankfully the babe looked fine, although was measuring 2 days behind (that's their margin of error with the measurements though, so I was told not to worry). Too early for a heartbeat, since I'm only 6w1d today, although the dr swore he thought he saw a flicker for a second. I'm a little sad that they think the bleeding was from a second implantation that was collapsing, and I should expect more bleeding, since you could definitely see the pocket of blood in my uterus. Thankfully the bleed is closer to my cervix than the healthy baby, so hopefully it won't cause any problems with it, just more anxiety for me. I already had another scary episode of pink and red bleeding last night that lasted until about 5:30 this morning but at least I go back again on Friday for another scan and am crossing every finger and toe the heartbeat is visible then.
