Well, I'm a somewhat recent

. . . got mine at the end of April. If you don't mind, I'd like to join the updates . . .

Things are going well. I'm 12 weeks and 5 days, so just about to start the 2nd trimester!! I've had terrible m/s (not that I'm complaining). I finally admitted it was an issue and asked for medicine from the doctor (I guess a 9 hr car trip with multiple puking stops will shine a light on the issue!!)

I have to say that leaving the RE for an OB was a rude awakening, and I was really not pleased with my OB office at all. The good news is I found a midwifery practice that I LOVE, and I'll be going there from now on. I had a bunch of u/s early on because my ovary was huge (made it to 16 cm - about 7 inches or so). At my last u/s, my ovary had shrunk back down to 5 cm, and no evidence of any giant cysts, so I'm doing well now! I had the 12 week nuchal translucency scan (to check for down's syndrome) and it was very good! It was so cool to see the baby then. . . s/he was kicking and swimming and we could see all the facial features.

We finally shared the news with everyone - family, friends, etc. We were so afraid to tell, but we're finally out in the open. I'm loving wearing maternity shirts. I don't really have a baby belly yet, but I look pretty fat in non-maternity clothes - so I found some maternity shirts that hang right on the belly and create the "illusion" of a belly and I'm enjoying that now that people actually recognize me as pregnant, not fat!

Glad you finally got to share the news, its so nice to be able to announce it after waiting for so long

So now how long until we find out what you are having? You are going to find out right

Of course!! I'm NOT a patient person - and I've done more than enough waiting already!! Sometime in August we will find out - I go in for my next appt on July 18, and I should get the referral then to schedule the u/s. I'll be 16 1/2 weeks, so I'll have to see if we decide to go early or actually wait until 18-20 weeks.

my u/s is on Tuesday, i am exhausted and nauseous esp in the evening. my clothes are very tight but i refuse to wear maternity clothes until i've seen the hb. i'm somewhat superstitious. my preggo boobs have returned. i've gone from a medium b to a full c and if it ends up anything like w/ DS i'll be spilling out of a DD before its all over with. DH LOVES that part. Noah actually pointed at my bbs this afternoon and informed me they've gotten bigger. DH started cracking up laughing. so i feel very preggo which is much different than with my ectopic or my blighted ovum. all good signs.

Very nice girls, sounds like everything is going the way it should.

Stacie you are always thinking two.LOL

Thanks Stacie --

US is tomorrow. Everything else is going good. No real spotting, knock on wood. Def feel preggo belly bloated, the girls - i wish i could cut them off, DH says I'm "moodier than usual" and my nose can smell anything within a 2 mile radius.

Now on to stressing about the us, the health of the baby and of course the delivery, although I think fertiles do this kinda of stressing too -- does that make me normal?
