October 2013 babies!

That's funny you are in HOT weather now...we are smack dab in the middle winter here! Actually blizzarding here today! Supposed to get a foot of snow...so I'm not sure why I'm so hot, lol!

[My Three Sons]

I actually got sick for the first time today. I started coughing so bad that I ended up making myself gag... Glad I told my boss already but LOL at what people were thinking about me today.

I had an ultrasound yesterday. Was supposed to be 6w6d, I was excited to put the Ramzi Theory to the test. Measuring 5w5d, too early to see the HB yet. My OB said if I'm certain of my dates then I need to be mentally preparing for a miscarriage. There is no way I'm a week off. LMP was Jan 2nd. O (based on CM) was Jan 16th. We DTD the 14th-17th and not again until after a BFP. BFP came on Jan 27th. So now I just have to sit, wait, and try not to worry too much. I go back next Wednesday for an ultrasound to check.

[My Three Sons]

Oh, MamaK4, I hope they dated that wrong! I hate that you have to wait and worry. I will keep my fingers crossed and prayers for you.

Morning sickness is taking it's toll one me. My doctor called in a script for Zofran for me. I've never had morning sickness before, but I'm hoping it'll help!

MamaK4- I hope that is not the case for you That seems highly insensitive for the dr to say that to you. There is always the chance of human error, and until the next test I think they should be supportive and not causing stress. I hope all goes well next week.
Kiara- It sounds like you got a crappy doctor too! At least you found out in the beginning, but ugh.
katie- Zofran should do the trick. I had to take it one time I had this virus and was nonstop sick and seriously thinking I might die (and I tend to underplay whenever I am sick normally). It worked pretty much right away. I had some bad ms with DS2 and it is no picnic, but at least they say it tends to mean a healthy little one.
I too am felling the heat fluctuations (winter here). I walk around all day putting a sweater on, taking it off, putting it back on... I just can't find the right medium. Is everyone sleeping through the night? I am exhausted and falling asleep sitting up during the day, but I think this bub is trying to get me used to the up all night thing. I want to sleep but there seems to be someone else controlling that now!

[My Three Sons]

strawberry - I am also exhausted all day! I tend to try to go to bed early since I have to get up early for work, and I usually take the baby up with me when I go, but I've been waking up too and not getting the best rest. I have been going to the bathroom more, but nothing crazy. My biggest complaint right now is I am starting up with a slight cold agian, which makes me get a tickle in my throat, which causes me to cough uncontrollably.

Oh, and smells and thoughts gross me out more so now too. I threw up yesterday for the first time from being grossed out... The other day it was from coughing too hard.

Hey ladies, I'd love to join! I'm due Oct. 15 and didn't sway at all. Wasn't even TTC to be honest, as we have been going to infertility and we gave up a while back. But I would like a boy, to be honest, so that is which way I'm leaning. A girl would be awesome also, though.

I have been sick for about a week now. I'm 6w5d today (I need to make a ticker...) and it's getting progressively worse, but it makes me SUPER HAPPY because I have lost 2 in the past couple of years and I remember thinking, "huh, lucky me- no morning sickness this time" when it was not actually sticking. Anyway, I will say that I was super ill with my DD1 and not so much with DD2, and I have so many friends who were sick with boys, not sick with girls, etc, so don't get worried about gender based on that.

I will also mention that I am 37 so debating a CVS. My DH has crap sperm also (why we couldn't conceive forever and had m/c) so I am trying to weight the options. I know of the risks, but need to just decide.

Sorry to hear of the m/c here, I know how hard that is. I saw a totally empty sac when in for my last loss at 8wks, so I'm pretty nervous about my 8wk u/s on March 7, but it will be what it will be, so I'm staying positive and keeping excited.

And about telling work, I have a new job (of course) and told them so they don't think I'm being slack or weird since I'm exhausted and nauseated most of the day.

Happy to join you all!

Hi Lola! Glad to see you in here. I am 38 so I want testing too. I don't know where you are, but I am going to do the MaterniT21 test. It is a simple blood test so no risk of miscarriage, over 99% reliable, and tests for 3 different trisomys including downs. As a bonus it also does gender. You can have it done as early as 10 weeks. I go in for my 8 wks on March 4th and am nervous/excited. Hope all goes well for you.
MyThreeSons- Yeah, I forgot about the smells. My 17 mo. old's diaper changes have not been helping with that at all. Yuck!

[My Three Sons]

I'm 39 but I won't get any genetic tests done. I just don't want to hear that false test result and be worried for no reason. I told my doc I don't want any tests that won't have something that can be done about it anyway.

My biggest complaint right now is this cough that won't go away. It's that nagging tickle in my throat that comes on suddenly. I've been taking cough drops and hope they are OK, read online that they are, but I hate taking anything while preggo.

Strawberry - the diaper changes are killer! Mix that with the dog smell and three boys running around...well it's just not pretty. LOL
