Lola - its great to hear you didn't have any damage and everyone is safe.

4blue2pink-that sounds so frustrating. If that were me I'd be calling and harassing everyone to see if I can put an offer on a different house or get some money back lol. Why did they put it up for sale if they didn't want to move?

Lola that is great news !

Prayers for those affected and for jose to stay away from the US.

4 blue 2 pink i agree with mommaxo3 that is so unfair !

Hi ladies! I'm joining your FB group but using my maiden name...I'm not a big FB user and don't use it because of my husbands job. Can't wait to see you on there!

I'll catch up on the thread tonight, it's been crazy today with trying to catch up on work as I'm wrapping up a client. Two quick questions while I'm on...first, I got the doppler but can't figure out where to hear the heartbeat. I'm 11 weeks, shouldn't it be easy? Any tips? Second, I've never had the flu shot, even when pregnant with my two girls. At the time, we lived in a warmer climate and I didn't stress about it. Now that we are in the northeast I do worry more. My doctor wants me to get it, but I've never had it and afraid of side effects. Anyone else??

Yay Max! Will be glad to see you on there [emoji4] For the Doppler, try it down low near the bikini line, angle the probe a little & slowly move across your abdomen. It took me a few tries before finding it for the first time. I also had some freak out moments where baby must have been hiding. It helps to google some youtube videos to familiarize yourself with your heartbeat vs baby's. I bet you'll find it soon! [emoji173] As for the flu shot, I've never had side effects in general & have also had it during my pregnancies without issues. I'm sure they'll ask you, but shouldn't get it if severely allergic to eggs and it should be the shot, not the nasal spray. I've never had side effects other than a really sore arm, but some swear it makes them feel like they have flu symptoms temporarily. I believe it means it's your body's reaction & building antibodies. There are so many different strains of the flu, it doesn't protect from all, but being pregnant, we're in the high risk group who are more vulnerable to the flu. It could lead to serious complications if we get the flu such as preterm labor and pneumonia. My OB highly recommended it, so I went ahead with it. I'm not sure what everyone's experiences are here, but I do feel it would be a good idea to get it.

Max woohoo for the house – that’s so exciting!!! That must be so cool, rocking up, fining THE house and biding on it almost in the spur of the moment!
FX it goes through
I’d echo what Lola said for the Doppler – mine is a cheap one (not even a wand thing so it’s harder to aim) – and found HB at 11 weeks – but a week before couldn’t – she was just over the bikini line - hubby couldn’t find it, because he was so gentle, but I found you do have to push slightly for it to pick up the HB

B2P – I can’t believe what the seller is doing – didn’t you contractually agree on a hand-over date?? Aren’t they legally required to move out on the date they agreed on?? Like WTF?? I would be all over their case! What’s their excuse??

Lola – so happy you are ok and the house was sparred – phew!! All in order for the scan on Friday then, woohoo!!

Mommy2apples- couldn’t check your chart on my phone – a bit ahead of myself clearly lol FX hon!!!!

This morning M asked when I would see the Dr to “get the picture of the baby” – as it’s Tuesday she counted the sleeps with me so 6 more to go - getting a bit impatient now! I think when I see her wriggling on the screen, I can only be totally in love

Wow, so much to update on. I joined the FB group and posted a family pic. You guys are all rock stars potty training so early. All of mine have been over 3 before they trained. Ugh. DS4 is no where near potty training I am afraid

Ash - hope your house gets better soon. Honestly, vomiting is my worst fear and I absolutely hate it.

[maximbella]

Thanks ladies!! I'm so sad, must have moved too much this weekend, started spotting yesterday and just started bleeding again now. It's not bright red, but seeing blood regardless of color during pregnancy does not ever get easier. Should I call to see if they can push my appointment to tomorrow instead of Thursday? Aughhhhh....

Max - you know about the SCH, so I honestly would just wait it out. Sorry you are bleeding again. There is not much else you can do. ((HUGS))

[LMSM]

Max, would echo Shann – rest rest rest – you know that is the best thing to do when it comes to the SCH, so as hard as it is, allow yourself to. Your appointment is almost here anyways – so I think it best to wait until then to give it a chance it to settle before your scan
