Due in December/January/February 2013/14

[black&gold]

Hey ladies....
Mind if I join you here? My due date is Dec 25th...though I have C Sections, so it'll be before then.
I tried for a year to have this baby, so WHY AM I FREAKING OUT???
I'm so incredibly anxious right now...I don't know why.
Maybe hormones?? Anybody else feel this way?

I am FREAKING out! I literally haven't stopped feeling anxious today. It was 6 months for us and I know I really wanted it, but now I'm scared thinking about 3 and likely 3 boys.. gah! I'm wondering if it's hormones too...

Just wanted to update you all... I had my first drs appt yesterday. She took pity on me and did an u/s... we saw a sac measuring 5 1/2 wks but no yolk sac or fetal pole. She said it's "not uncommon" to see these results at this stage, which is why she usually hesitates to do scans this early. Anyway, she did a hcg test yesterday and I go in for one on Saturday, with results coming back probably on Monday. This will give us a better indication if the pregnancy is coming along smoothly. Anyway, I was upset yesterday but after getting a good night's sleep I'm feeling better. I have decided to withhold all judgement until I get the results of my blood test back. FX for good news!

I am once again reminded how gender is the LAST thing I should be worried about...

Hope everyone else is doing well

Thinking of you, Charlee & saying a prayer...

MsBlakely, you described how I feel EXACTLY...except this will be #4 for me...my youngest being 7. Even though I've wanted this for a long time, I'm freaking out now. I have my first OB appt Tues & plan to talk to my doctor about it. I went through this with #3, too. I hate feeling this way.

Welcome Beadinmom!! So happy you are pg and in our dd group!
Did you stick with swaying hard core, or did you give up a little and just pray for a pregnancy?
I've been waiting for this a long time but am freaking out a little too. My oldest will be 8 1/2 when this baby is born, and my others will be almost 7 and 5. Such a gap and in a different place now I can't believe I am starting over again. Although who would have known it would take me 2 1/2 years to finally get pregnant!

Oh my Charlee! I am thinking of you. I hope everything goes well with your blood results.
I am scared for my u/s on Monday. They say I will be 6w1d, but I think I will be earlier because maybe I o'd a little late or it implanted late, hence the lower hcg level at first. I hope to god they see a heartbeat.
I remember when I started bleeding with the twins. I went in at 5w5d and they saw a heartbeat in one but not the other. I prayed I would only lose one and the little one with the heartbeat would hang on. But I started bleeding so badly and I think being so early the little one just couldn't hang on through all the trama. It was devastating Especially knowing they were my little girls.
Here's hoping and praying for a healthy healthy happy pg for all of us.

M/s has hit! I dry heaved so much last night that my stomach hurts still....and nothing sounded good this am.

I am a bundle of excitement, nerves, worry and anticipation....but compared to how I thought I might feel, I feel relatively calm. Doesn't that sound pregnant..or at least full of pregnancy hormones!!

Charlee....Monday is going to be here before you know it....enjoy your weekend...I hope that you have plenty of sun and fun with your boys.

Beadin'Mom....your boys are going to love having an itty bitty baby around! I am hoping that you are blessed with an easy pregnany....and that the anxiety about #4 melts way.

MsBlakely.....I feel some of those same feelings about a third...I was one of those who swore up and down that I would only have a even number of kids. I grew up as one out of three...always 2 against 1...and now I am going to do that to my kids. I hope that you get your long desired daughter!

Prayforprincess..this is a long weekend...waiting for your u/s! Sending up prayers and good vibes that your baby is growing on target!

I've never had this before with my previous pregnancies! I'm not sure if it's almost a depression thing or what. I literally couldn't sleep last night thinking about the pregnancy and what if they baby isn't healthy and born with something wrong. All this thoughts just keep swirling through my head and it's killing me. I've been feeling this way for the past 3 days, but it's been about the same amount of time that I've been really sick with M/S so I'm just wondering if it's a general down feeling. I am known to be a worrier so I'm not super shocked but I can't believe I feel this out of sorts! Glad to hear I'm not alone in this because I KNOW I wanted it... sure doesn't feel that way right now!

will be thinking of you charlee! praying for some good news :FX:
prayforprincess - will be thinking of you tomorrow as well! (hugs)
ladybugs - sorry about the morning sickness! but at least that's a good sign I didn't really have much of that at all with my boys, so I'm almost praying for that this time as a sign that it's "different" and maybe a girl, haha. I feel okay for the most part, but riding in a car...omg, the worst car sickness. i have to drive if we go anywhere. so odd. never had that with my pregnancies either. guess it's fairly common tho..

I had such bad m/s with DS2 compared to that DS1, I would have sworn that he was all girl!!! This time around, I am dismissing any and all OWT!!!

Good thoughts and prayers for our girls getting their u/s and bloodworks tomorrow!!!!!

[Charlee]

Sidenote to the m/s thing... I hardly had any with my first 3 pregnancies - all 3 boys. I had TONS the last pregnancy - girl! So it *could* be a sign, but then it could just be the pregnancy... I hope it IS a sign for you both

I will let you all know when I get the results back tomorrow... oh I hope it's good news
