Could this be a possibility?

Posted Friday, May 30, 2008 8:41 PM

I know it might just be wishful thinking, but could the baby actually be a couple weeks younger than we think, and that's why it was small? I say this because it really looked more like a 4/5 week baby. I've always had 30-32 day cycles, and what if I'm

Dr's Appointment

Posted Friday, May 30, 2008 2:50 PM

First off, I like the doctor I saw today better than my other doctor (same practice). I wonder if I could switch. The big result is: they don't know. There are 2 possibilities. 1) The baby is just small for its age (or is the result of a different hookup

D*%# internet filters!

Posted Friday, May 30, 2008 10:59 AM

Well, the internet filters are back up at work. I am sad. They've been down all week, which was a good thing since I was freaking out and was bored at work and needed to Nest stalk a lot. But now we're back to quota time. Boo. I have an appointment at

Spotting Update

Posted Friday, May 30, 2008 8:37 AM

Here's the timeline: Friday night started spotting, light, not too big a deal. Spotting continues to today, a full week later, getting somewhat heavier, only last night it changed to red and even more heavy, more like a normal flow. Nurse said they couldn't

How did we acquire so much junk?

Posted Thursday, May 29, 2008 10:12 AM

I felt perfectly normal this morning – still spotting, but felt normal until just a minute ago (now I'm beginning to cramp again). It’s a little disconcerting. I almost wish for just a little bout or two of morning sickness, just for reassurance – but

Things I like for the nursery

Posted Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:11 PM

I like this rug, but it's really pale in person. This was part of my telling DH gift. As well as this - I wish it came in yellow, but green is good. I can't find pics, but they have this pair of square canvases with pictures of Pooh and Piglet, which

Eerie Calmness

Posted Wednesday, May 28, 2008 11:57 AM

I am in a weird place - calm, but not a happy calm, more of a "I can't do anything, so I'm just going to be a little numb until my doctor's appointment" calm. I am to the point where if I'm going to miscarry I want it to just happen, and if everything's

Hope I'm Freaking Over Nothing

Posted Tuesday, May 27, 2008 1:29 PM

So I began cramping/having some lower abdomen pain around 11 - I thought, could be baby, or gas, or constipation. I went home and laid down on the couch for lunch (and ate) and felt better while I was lying down. I went to the bathroom right before I

Home Alone = Bad for Hormonal Pregnant Lady

Posted Tuesday, May 27, 2008 10:54 AM

So I spent the whole weekend alone since DH was gone to see his grandparents (12 hrs away). Wasn't so bad, except I started spotting brown after helping my mom clean, running (slow and even walking some), and grocery shopping. These were all different

What DH calls "a mess"

Posted Friday, May 23, 2008 1:31 PM

Symptoms are not too bad so far. I drink a lot more water than normal, which is good (still not enough). We went to a bar after DH's softball game last night, and it did suck a little to have water when everyone else was having beer, but the weird thing

Things are working out!!

Posted Thursday, May 22, 2008 9:28 AM

I won't have to lie to my parents this weekend! My aunt can't come now, so I'm just going up for the day Saturday. And my sis is going to the nearest city with her boyfriend all day (for their "anniversary" - high schoolers), so I won't have to be around

Telling DH and a different kind of 2ww

Posted Wednesday, May 21, 2008 9:14 AM

I told DH, and he said he kinda figured that because he hadn’t seen me using any “supplies”. When he walked in the door he asked me what was wrong, and I told him nothing, that I just came home from work early. Then I told him I had a present for him,

Flipping the BLEEP out

Posted Tuesday, May 20, 2008 1:03 PM

I am beginning to flip out. The test at lunch was just barely positive (probably b/c I'd been drinking water and had peed like 3 times this morning). I did notice a slight brownish discharge (TMI I know) like AF might be coming, but I figured 3 tests

Anxious - Day of Truth

So I got the pg tests last night and snuck them in the house in my purse. I was cranky all night being nervous about it (I actually almost had a meltdown in the store because they keep all the repro-related stuff in the pharmacy checkout line so you're

Update to Yesterday's Anxious blog

Posted Monday, May 19, 2008 11:44 AM

So there is still no sign of AF - none. I started thinking that I really don't want to take a test at work, even if it's after most of the ppl have left. Since I'm going grocery shopping tonight, I could purchase the tests (2 b/c I might not believe one,

Economic Stimulus . . .

Posted Tuesday, May 13, 2008 2:51 PM

We were going to buy a laptop with our economic stimulus check, but now DH wants to go on a trip to the Caribbean with some of his friends in October. This would be okay, except . . . what if I'm pregnant and am not allowed to fly due to some complication?

Inheritance & other drama

Posted Monday, May 12, 2008 4:23 PM

So, my mom did call her SIL and she's not mad at her, hasn't even talked to my aunt in almost a week, etc. (so my mom found out her sis was bald-faced lying to her). So mom is okay and decides to take everything sis says with a huge dose of salt (and

Inheritances ruin families

Posted Wednesday, May 07, 2008 8:37 AM

It's ruining mine, or at least, my mom's. She called me this morning all upset because my aunt (one that always causes drama by lying and insinuating and who has no money management skills) called and just wants to get rid of the house for less than tax

Posted Friday, May 02, 2008 12:02 PM

So, I've been griping about DH not being motivated to finish his graduate degree and find a better job . . . well, I think he may now be motivated. He called this morning to tell me he was talking to a coworker, and the coworker is a runner (like DH)
