This is me this morning: I was rudely woken up last night at 11:00 due to three black bears on my porch. I turned on the light to see what was making some noise and there they were trying to get at my bird feeder. Of course I had to watch them a while (from inside) and one totally killed my hanging basket that I just planted on Sunday. We knew we had a bear in the area due to it getting into the garbage bins in the beighborhood, but last night we confirmed it was a Mama bear and her two cubs from last spring. I couldn't go back to sleep for a while because I was so worked up. Now I'm paying for it. How is everyone this Tuesday morning?

sarahandben108 oh my goodness, that's insane. I've never lived anywhere near bears. I did get woken up by a fox the other night so now I know what a fox says and it is not pretty. notelsie I've been thinking of you. You go in for an appointment today, right? I hope it goes well.

I woke up super early today to take my dad to the airport so I went to the gym before work since I was up anyway. Now I could use copious amounts of coffee, but I shall be good and stick to my one cup.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Crazy right? We get a decent amount of wildlife in my area, mostly deer and skunks. We've had a raccoon not too long ago. One neighbor told us they say a moose, but I have never seen one in our yard. This is really not our first interaction with bears. We had one in the neighborhood a few years ago. That one also ate out bird seed from our bird feeder. The wildlife department came, trapped that one, and relocated it. I have a funny feeling that is going to happen again with this bear family. What's even more crazy is that I turned the light on them and it never fazed them. They just kept on eating.

I'm wearing a shirt with horizontal stripes. This was not a wise choice. It is doing nothing to hide my prematurely large bump.

I live in Maine and this is pretty standard. I'm not out in the middle of nowhere but I'm not in a large town either.

I had this hope too, but I'm 13 weeks and running out of things to wear.

I went to the gym at lunch and I'm starting to feel tired now.
Also already getting nervous for my appointment tomorrow. I'm trying not to symptom check and failing...

Thanks so much for checking in on me. I've been so nauseous since yesterday.. I don't feel well at all I will be calling in a little less than 2 hours to let the office know the after hours OB wants me to come in today for an ultrasound and rhogam shot. I'm so scared. I have been trying to force myself to eat, but I keep feeling like I need to throw up. No cramping is a good sign, right?

Good luck today, notelsie. I definitely think no cramping is a good sign. You are far enough along now that if the bleeding was related to a loss, you'd have some pretty significant trauma going on, I'd think? Hang in there. So sorry you're going through this.

I've been wearing my denim jacket a lot to hide the blump. Im pretty sure I'm at the point where I don't care if I get called out. The important people at work know.
I have to turn my phone in today to get my work email added (I've been holding out for awhile) and the Millenial in me is going to go nuts.

When I had my scary spotting around 6 weeks, the nurse on call asked if I was cramping and when I said no she said that was good. I'm so sorry you are going through this and don't feel well on top of it. Just rest and stay hydrated. Sending you all the good vibes and hugs!!!

My doctor always told me that the spotting is normal unless severe cramping AND heavy bleeding. You haven't had either of those. I'm sure you feel off from nerves. I felt that way every time I had spotting. I still check to make sure I have no bleeding. Keep us posted!

sarahandben108 - well that's just terrifying! I kept waking up during the night because I thought every noise I heard was a wild animal coming to check out the BBQ remnants. I know H and our guests brought everything in (I went to bed super early because I was exhausted) but I was still paranoid. We've had issues with raccoons getting into our trash and I thought that was bad... much rather a raccoon than a trio of bears! Sorry I wasn't on much yesterday. We wound up having people over for a bbq (it started as 5 including us and wound up being like a dozen). So we had to clean the house, go shopping, etc. And every time I tried to nap before people came over, I kept getting text messages waking me up. Also watching the Scrubs marathon on Comedy Central didn't do much to help, lol. We also called extended family yesterday to tell them the news, which was really nice but at the same time exhausting. We'll probably go "Facebook official" tomorrow-ish. Hope everyone had a nice weekend!
