I do think you are doing the best thing. I know how reassuring those numbers will be, so I am looking forward to having you share them. I wish it got easier, but I know that it's all this kind of stressful. I'll keep up the "perfectly normal" mantra for you over here.Mrs. Misfitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245258330689439524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-91417970351839665302012-03-22T16:24:16.503-04:002012-03-22T16:24:16.503-04:00Mo, you're doing great. Really. It's not a...Mo, you're doing great. Really. It's not at all silly that this is nerve wracking. And it's got to be particularly hard not having Will around. Keeping the crazy at bay has got to be exhausting, and that's on top of pregnancy exhaustion, compounded by supplemental progesterone. By now, I'm sure your placenta's pumping out progesterone. As for your appetite being better, pregnancy can make you HUNGRY! Feed the baby, Mo!<br /><br />Meant to comment on the last post. Glad the IVIG wasn't as bad as the first time. Ugh, on the multiple sticks. OUCH! (When you get to the hospital in labor (you know, in October!), don't let the regular l&d nurse do your iv. Get a nurse from the iv team or the anesthesiology resident to do it. Can you tell I believe this little one is going the distance?) As for forgetting where you put the basket at Fairway, well, as one commenter mentioned, Fairway is overwhelming, but girl, you've got pregnancy brain! :-D<br /><br />And sorry about the loss of your colleague. xoxoDorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255190971670471758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-73102608206846839182012-03-22T16:23:21.224-04:002012-03-22T16:23:21.224-04:00You sound just like me.

I didn't even buy anything for the baby until the third trimester (when I was forced to, because I didn't want my baby naked and sleeping on the floor!) I was worried that if I bought something, and then lost the baby, it would make it 100x harder having to look at baby stuff afterwards. Don't be surprised if you never get to that "blissful pregnancy state" - I didn't! It's just hard when you're so scared the entire time. But that's not what really matters... even though your pregnancy might be an anxious time for you, after the baby gets here, you WILL be in a blissful new-mom state! <br /><br />Waiting for your results with you, but not worried - I know they're going to be great just like they have been! I hate that you have to keep getting betas...Deanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799853002356302789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-81813976642511114802012-03-22T16:14:12.518-04:002012-03-22T16:14:12.518-04:00Just wanted to let you know that we are here, wait...Just wanted to let you know that we are here, waiting with you.Melissiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04400720995551600134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-65079804892635913462012-03-22T16:02:01.011-04:002012-03-22T16:02:01.011-04:00Hugs & good luck with your labs!

And eve now, with 3 living children & 2 healthy ones, I still go through the contingencies of what to do when a genetic test or anatomy scan comes back abnormal. The scars of pregnancy loss run very very deep. And multiples losses without success yet, I can only imagine how deep those scars run. <br /><br />Hang in there Mo. As you say, only time will tell. You have done everything in your power to boost this pregnancy off to a great start.The Blatchford Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302186229041349287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-78756488580815485462012-03-22T16:01:50.182-04:002012-03-22T16:01:50.182-04:00Fingers crossed for nothing but good news, but boy...Fingers crossed for nothing but good news, but boy-oh, the waiting stinks, doesn't it? Sending you patience, and hope for good things. And reminding you that your wonderful OB has said that if you need a reassurance scan, you *can* ask for that, I'd say, especially if you're seeing pink tinged spotting, which I *hope* is just some leftover irritation from your suppositories. Hugs from here!Erin Bakalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611203589607633273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-83117615281953484022012-03-22T15:54:26.400-04:002012-03-22T15:54:26.400-04:00really- enough with the betas, clinic!!
