Great news sweetdream!

Wow, we have a lot of scans this week in this group! So much fun :-) Abi, what an awesome first pic! Sweetdreams, so glad the scan put you at ease.

Our first appt is July 22nd, but last time they didn't do anything at that appt except give me another pregnancy test, so I'm not expecting a scan this time either. I'll likely have to wait another month. In the meantime, we have one of those at home doppler things to listen to the heartbeat. A friend gave it to us with our last pregnancy, but we didn't try it out until we first heard the heartbeat at the doctor's office at 12 weeks, so I don't know how sensitive it is. I tried using it the other night at 6 weeks, but couldn't find anything, so I'm thinking it's still too early. I'll probably try each week though because it would be so cool to hear the heartbeat sooner than 12 weeks for sure!

It's just so hard not to be worried these days! They say that once you hear a heartbeat, your chance of miscarriage drops to 5%. Hoping I can convince them to do a scan at the 8 week appt, but probably not. And I'm actually thinking of making an earlier appt to get some zofran since this MS is getting pretty severe :-( Of course it sounds like I don't have it nearly as bad as some of you other ladies! Hope everyone starts feeling better soon!!

Crazycat I think you generally can't hear the heartbeat until after 10 weeks with the doppler. I know how frustrating it is to sit and wonder if the baby is okay...it really sucks. I'm hoping they scan me next Tuesday so I can be put at ease.

So...here is a perfect example of just how emotional I am today. As I was driving into work I was thinking about how nice and supportive everyone is on this board (the due date board on babycenter is full of people who are so mean and judgmental that if you post something naive or something they jump all over you), AND I STARTED GETTING TEARY. I have not even been actively posting on the board, let alone this sight, for very long! You guys are great, lol.

I feel so much better today so far. I have my seabands and some super strong ginger candy from indonesia! Hopefully it keeps me feeling better!

Awww so sweet future. I adore this site and all the ladies on it. I was here with my last pregnancy too even though I didn't sway and I stayed because the support was phenomenal. I am glad you are feeling a bit better today. I drink ginger beer when I feel sick...it has 26 grams of ginger and it really helps!

Hope your scan went well daisy! Can't wait for an update!

So excited for all the scans! I'm almost 18 weeks and I need to schedule "the big one." Although, already knowing she's a she helps, but I get nervous every time something bad might be revealed.

I splurged for my birthday and bought a Blendtec, since I've always wanted a high power blender for smoothies, nut butters, hummus and soups. My new morning addiction is a smoothie I got off the internet (a vegan guy invented it for his hangover, but I tweaked it a little.) So yummy! And it's a complete meal replacement, fiber, Omega 3's, and protein. Here it is, if anyone else is interested:

1 heaping tablespoon nut butter (I use peanut butter)
1/2 c milk or milk substitute (I use organic whole milk)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
4 dates or 2 Medjool dates, seeds removed
2 sliced, frozen bananas
1/4 c water (optional, to thin it out if you don't want a thick smoothie)

Blend until smooth, then let sit for 5 minutes so the chia seeds can thicken the smoothie. This fills me up until lunch!

Okay, daisymoo, I wouldn't be so sure I was having another boy with THAT 13 week nub! That's a classic girly nub!

Either way, baby looks wonderful
