Heartbeat of 151, I totally lost my shit right before starting but the tech was so kind and understanding, she practically shouted “heartbeat!” within seconds and we both started grinning and laughing. And I cried more. Exhale.

Also I took a test (because I can’t help myself) and it was muuuuch darker than yesterday’s and I took this one at 3pm. So I’m feeling better. My nurse also ordered my bloodwork so I’m still deciding if I want to hang on to it for another week or so.

I did get the call that my bloodwork confirmed that I was pregnant. The receptionist that called to schedule my appointment only had an opening for the week I'm going on vacation and my OB is currently on vacation so I have to call in next week so they can figure something out.

RE Nurse hasn't called back to schedule blookwork after I sent a message before they opened today re-iterating that I would like beta #1 on Friday. I may have messaged my OB after business hours tonight requesting she get me in for a beta on Friday. That nurse responded immediately that she forwarded to the OB who was off today and I'll get my answer tomorrow.
I did pee on a CBE test instead of a wondofo and got the +. He even acknowledge "sure seems to be official I guess". HA

H took E out to the park so I have the morning to myself! I got a few things done but I think now I'm just going to sit around and watch TV... I called and left a message for my nurse AGAIN this morning, I'm getting pretty annoyed that it's been 3 days and now 2 messages and she hasn't returned my call. It's a large office and they're busy, so I never get a return call immediately, but at least same day. Sigh. I asked her to call me back today at least, because tomorrow I'll be with my mom most of the day and I haven't told her yet, so we'll see. It just figures the first time I really try to stick up for myself and be fully informed this happens 😂 I'm also having a less-symptom-y day today which always makes me nervous. Trying to stay positive, but PGAL brain is the worst!!

pambee and remi hugs for you both if you want them, I have been experiencing the Lite version of pregnancy symptoms this whole time and it’s a shame I can’t just relax and enjoy that, but hey this is my story. I am sending you both huge HCG numbers vibes!

Does anyone try to workout? If so are you still doing doing the same things? I’ve been doing Beachbody since May, and working out almost everyday. But I’m still pretty nervous to keep doing it even though I hear it’s fine. I did one today and it seemed to amp up my cramps more, and today when I woke up I wasn’t cramping. But I’ve had a dull ache starting this afternoon and now after my workout it’s just a scootch more.

remi, last pregnancy, my OB said to continue working out if I had been working out. She said not to start anything new that was strenuous. I'm kinda a couch potato, so not real exercise here other than chasing DD around the house and walking the dogs.

Ugh. In addition to my pop tasting foul, apparently I have lost my sweet tooth- cupcake yesterday didn't even tempt me, and tonight's ice cream I had to toss. This is sooooo weird for me because not only have I always had a sweet tooth, but I had a super sweet tooth with my 1st pregnancy. Though maybe this is a good thing in disguise?

I don’t want anything sweet either grover! I know working out is ok, but it still makes me nervous.

remi, last time I had a few aversions with pizza starting at end of first tri. Cravings didn't hit til second, and I pretty much lived on brownies and mountain dew. Only gained like 25 pounds thankfully. So hopefully this time will be less if I'm not eating the sweets left and right!

I was really into BBM and I miss it and what the workouts did for my self esteem, mood, and getting my day in order but.... my god I just cannot right now! I’m so darn tired I can barely peel myself up off the couch to make the kids meals etc.

*Trigger warning* PGAL thoughts ahead
I told my really close friend today because I really needed another in life person to talk to. Her reply was excitement and then saying "wow this really comes in waves" She then said her SIL is pregnant and someone else that she can't tell me about since I know them too which means they are in our moms group and I'm pretty sure it's another person on our board.
Backstory: Before being a SAHM I was a teacher and with my first two pregnancies there was another teacher pregnant that I had to see every single day that was due the same month as my miscarriages. It sucked.
So now I'm psyching myself out that I'm going to miscarry again and have to be around the pregnant person in my moms group all the time.
I know I need to focus on today I'm pregnant and I have no control over anything but I'm sprialing.
tldr - PGAL brain sucks

remi I ran a lot before I had my son and kept running until the pressure got to be too much on my bladder. I then switched to elliptical and stationary bike just to keep moving until I had him. I took it easy at that point, though. I’m trying to keep up with running because it helps me with stress. I definitely don’t push it as hard as I would not pregnant.

TW Loss With my last pregnancy (the ectopic), a coworker was due 4 days before me. I obviously lost that pregnancy, and she went on to have twins. End TW This time, another coworker is due 23 days before me, and I’m also scared that I will M/C and have to watch her pregnancy continue. I have no advice, but I wanted you to know that I know how you feel. You’re not alone!
