Cassie--I am SO sorry! All my prayers are with you and your bean. Not that it helps (since every situation is different), but I bled around 6 weeks, and it was just implantation bleeding. Are they going to have you come in tomorrow? I would insist--tell them that you need to know what is going on, maybe they can do an internal u/s or something. Good luck, and keep us posted.
PS--Rhylee is beautiful!

Krissy - Thanks about Rhylee! She's a sweetheart! I just pray I am going through what lots of others have been through and all will be fine, it's just scary as heck and I want it to be ok!

Cassie-I'm sorry about the spotting. I know how nervewracking it can be. If it's any consolation, I spotted until 9 weeks with this one. Praying everything is a-ok with your little bean!

Jo-I'm still here! Not feeling any different yet but will definitely keep you posted! I have my ob appt tomorrow and wondering if she'll do an internal to see if there are any changes. I'll let you know what I find out, if anything. Btw, it sounds like you've been doing a little nesting lately.

Krissy-I'm so sorry about your morning! You are such a trooper! So is little Ely! Did they end up removing the tree today?

Heidi, Amber-Yay for feeling lots of movement!

Jen-How's it going?

Cassie-I hope everythings going all right in there. Maybe your little bean is just getting in real good. I didn't have any spotting but I felt like I would hit my period ANY second for the first 15 weeks, so I sympathize that it's got to be that much more nerve wracking. You're definitely in my thoughts. Good vibes!!! *hugs*

Krissy-How is you're tree?

I'm still bleeding, took an HPT this morning, and it was negative. I'm pretty sure this one didn't make it.

Oh, Cassie, I'm so sorry! I'm still going to hold out good thoughts until we hear otherwise. <<<HUGS>>>

Cassie - I'm so sorry. I am with Jo & going to continue to think positive thoughts for you! I hope everything will is ok.

Snowie - Looking forward to hearing about your Dr's appt.

Krissy - I am so sorry about the scare & the house! What a scary night! Yay for your shower being next week. Ours is the 9th & I have been stalking my registry (I can't help it!). People are actually buying things! So fun!
Btw, I have gotten multiple "small" comments about my size. Not sure how I feel about that either.

Heidi - congrats on getting the painting done! Thats a big step!

Amber - Hi! Hope you are feeling well!

I took the day off yesterday b/c the nursery furniture was delivered! I love it! Then I did a little fabric shopping for drapes/pillows.
& I had a Dr's appt. All looks good & I only gained 3lbs (totally surprised!). I think I am at about 15 total to date', which is a little more than I would like, but oh well.
My internet is finally fixed too, so I can get online at home.
I finally slept well last night - I think it is b/c I started exercising again. I am going to try to swim a couple times a week - it feels so great to be in the water!

Have a great day!

Cassie-I am just so sorry that you are going through this. Like the others, I will hold out hope for you, and if this bean doesn't stick I just know that you'll be back soon.

Jen--At 23 weeks, I had gained 23 lbs! Don't sweat the 15!

Snowie--I am also looking forward to hearing. You are SO close!

Jen-Awesome that you got your furniture in. I can't wait for mine! Glad all went well with the doctor's appt.

Krissy-I love the movements even though its not the full blown kicks yet. But since I have a number of times throughout the day it gives me peace of mind. Today when DH's alarm went off she started moving around!

Amber-Hi. Glad you're still hanging in there.

Hi Snowie-Can't wait to hear how things went today.

Cassie-I'm really sorry. Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you.

Are there any other pg Texas gals aside from me and Jen on here? Anyone know? I got an opportunity to be a model in a fashion show in Ft.Worth and they are looking for more ladies to participate. It's this Saturday and you get to model for Pea in a Pod. Freebies, a discount and raffles. If you are interested and you lurk, pm me for info.

Jen- would you come up and do this? I'm not sure if I can get up in front of a bunch of people.

Thank you ladies. It was apparently a chemical pg. So I guess I will have to start back at square one. I am staying positive and holding my head up. I'll be back!!!

Oh, Cassie! I am so sorry. This must be a very confusing and frustrating thing to go through, but I am just sure that you will come out the other side. I bet you are back before I have this baby! I just have a feeling...

Heidi--You are just like me; I love the movements, and started to be so much less anxious when he started moving. I realize that he is a bit hyperactive, and it is sometimes strange b/c my whole stomache moves while I am in front of the classroom, but I think he knows that the more he moves, the more relaxed I am. Even when he gets me in a rib!

Jo or Snowie (or anyone with experience)--Do you have BH contractions often, or have you? I get them VERY often; and my doc seems to be ok with that, but I always thought that you were supposed to get more of them as you got closer to labor (and I obviously don't want to go anytime soon). I do get more than 4 an hour, but they don't hurt anymore. They just make me sort of nervous.

Cassie- <<HUGS>>

Krissy- I don't really notice getting bh very often. I think they happen more overnight b/c I'll wake up and my tummy will be hard as a rock. I don't even feel them. Maybe I've been having them and just don't know it.

__________________

Jo-I know that I wasn't noticing all of them before. When I was in L&D, they had me on a monitor, and by watching that I realized that I have them ALL the time; I just didn't realize that feeling was actually BH. And now, after realizing, I notice even more.

Cassie - I'm so sorry. <HUGS> I know we'll see you back on this side soon!

Jo - I would come up, but we have baby classes on Sat & Sunday. I am actually already missing a wedding shower for a friend in Dallas b/c of them. You should totally do it! It will be fun!

My bedding is in! Now just need the furniture to come in.

Krissy-I forgot to say about people making comments.......I just got another one this week of "you're tiny for 5 months." So I'm getting the opposite and it sucks just the same. Personally I feel huge and think I look it but apparently not to everyone else. In general I think people are idiots and never think before they speak!

__________________

Heidi~ I TOTALLY empathize with you. When I was 32 weeks pregnant, DH and I were at a little sandwich shop that sells these AMAZING cookies. I decided to get two (haha!) and I said to the lady "Well, I guess I want the chocolate chip and the chocolate mud pie - one for me, and one for the baby!" to which she promptly replied "Oh, are you pregnant? You couldn't be more than a few weeks along!" I said "actually, I'm due in 8 weeks." HELLO??!! DH to this day says that the counter was blocking my belly, but whatever. I hated it when anyone said anything. Just tell us we look cute and leave it at that!

__________________

Heidi and Jenna--People are SO rude! Although, I do think that they are probably trying to be nice when they tell you that you are "tiny". In our society, it is considered a compliment to be small, and they probably just don't realize that you want to look pregnant, too. I don't know what they are thinking when they tell me that I look "huge" for how far I am! When is that EVER ok to say to a woman? Morons. And now, the new comment that I keep getting is "Oh, you'll never make it to your due date". As though I am too huge to possibly go another 12 weeks. Thanks, I wasn't already worried enough about preterm labor, so I appreciate your adding to my anxiety. I swear; from now on I am going to make an honest effort to think before I speak, I don't want to sound like these idiots.
