This is our new pic from yesterday. He's laying on his back looking at the camera. DH keeps telling everyone the kid has a big head for a big brain. He's already so proud.

Hi Ladies. I don't know. I keep going back and forth between good and bad days. yesterday was a bad day. Woke up and just never felt quite awake. I was so tired all day, couldn't even muster up enough energy for a shower. I threw up twice. Maybe it's my normal m/s coming through since the infection is cleared up? I kept dozing off and hours would just go by.

I felt like I had no control over my slumber.

Lotus, I love your pic! Yes, he/she has a big brain! Smart kid!

Niki and Miranda, it's hard to know what to do. I think I might look for a bigger crib and put both in there to keep each other company. I think the side by side cribs are the most logical in their design, but not logistically easy to navigate. Most of the doors here are not 'american' sized so it would next to impossible to push them through. I think I will not have a choice and will have to go for the one in front of the other design.

Woke up and felt a little better today(got a shower in!), but I still have some nausea so am trying to eat my breakfast/lunch really slowly.

Deepa, Mumbai! Isn't it just amazing how it's growing and changing. Real estate prices there are through the roof! Did you like the name change? Or do you prefer Bombay?

Hey Hannah and all June Ladies~
I've been laying low for a while.
There was no hb on my 2nd u/s last Wednesday, so
I had a d&c yesterday. I am ok, just been taking it easy all day and still taking some pain meds....more for a
sleep aide that for pain, although there is some mild discomfort and cramping from the procedure. I never did have bleeding or unusual cramping as a sign of m/c possibly due to the PIO shots.

We will take a month off and try again, or if AF takes a while to come we may be able start then, not too sure about that yet. I have a follow up appt with RE next week... I know some of you have gone though this so you know what it is like. I had no idea a d&c involved general anesthesia, but I'm glad it I was out for procedure...was actually at hospital all day. To make matters worse, dh brought up an arguement as I was laying in bed before the procedure...He made me so upset I wanted to kick him out of the room! He ended up apologizing for bringing it up at the worst time in the world possible... so I let him stay. JK. He has a very different way of dealiing with stress and redirects it some inappropriate ways if you ask me...

Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts an prayers and I wish you guys a happy and healthy pregnancies!
Good to see all the healthy u/s pics/news and see you are all on the road to Motherhood.
I will be right behind you!

Dani, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your little one. Your positive attitude is an inspiration to us all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Laurie, I'm glad you felt better today. Hopefully since it has reduced to every other day, it will reduce to every third day soon. I hope you're on your way to feeling better all the time!

Lotus, I love your pic! Isn't it amazing to see our little babies on the screen? It makes it all so real! And he definitely looks very smart!

[lisa37]

Danielle, I am heartbroken for you. I hope your body and heart have a speedy recovery. Whatz up with DH picking fights before surgery and anesthesia--------you're right everybody deals with loss and stress so differently though.

I will look for you on the other threads and praying your bean sticks on the next round!

[lisa37]

Lotus........I think your bean is my bean's long lost twin.....I had an US yesterday and mine looks just like yours LOL. (they probably all do right this early in black and white, right) We are only a couple days apart. Anyhoo, what a cute little face shot------I love the verbage you added!!!!

Good morning girls!!

Dani I am so sorry to hear about your pregnancy. I know there are few words that can help at this time. I will pray for you and your DH that you find the strengh to continue on and chase your dream. Hugs to you.

Laurie I went out last night and got sea sickness bands that you wear around your wrist....I think they are helping. It says on the box they work for ms. I was able to leave the house yesturday and eat out with my dh without feeling rotten!! maybe they will offer you some comfort.

Lotus I love your smart baby picture!! How cute of your DH!!

Deepa Hope you are having a wonderful weekend with Hari!!

I woke up with soar thoat, hoping it is not a cold in the process of showing......I am off to mentor today, take care ladies!!! Happy Sunday!!!

[Alee78]

Dani- I am so sorry for your loss, I must say your positive outlook is inspiring. You are in my thoughts and prayers through out this time.

[BayBook]

Dani, I am very, very sorry about the m/c. I've been where you are and I wish you much much good fortune on your next attempt.

[hannah01]

dani, i'm SO sad to read your update. i had a bad feeling when you hadn't posted in awhile. i wouldn't want to post either probably. thanks for updating us though. i've been through a m/c and know that there is nothing anyone can say to it feel better. my heart just really goes out to you right now. i am really sorry and will be looking for future posts from you to hear when you are trying again. i hope you're taking it easy and that DH has gotten in line! take care sweetie, and if you ever want to chat send a pm or just send updates on here.

[hannah01]

hi girls, i feel so behind since i've been gone for a couple days. i had a great time in palm springs, visiting one of my best friend's and her 10 mo old baby. she is a doctor, and her parents who were also there were a surgeon and a pediatric nurse. so it was REALLY nice/fun to be surrounded medical professionals who just wanted to talk about my pregnancy, analyze my symptoms, and give me advice on everything.

lotus, i love your baby pic. congrats!

sounds like a few more have picked up the m/s. miranda are those sea-sick bracelets working? i thought my m/s was gone for good but got slammed yesterday and had to go to bed at 7 pm.

miranda, oddly i've had a sore throat throughout much of my pregnancy. i wonder if it could be from heartburn or congestion... both of which i know are common right now.

well i hope everyone is doing well and having an uneventful pregnancy day!

[MIRANDA12503]

Hannah I think th esea bands are helping, they do not take it fully away but seem to help get me through the day without getting "sick". The pharmist said studies show they work on most people and are safe. I was willing to try anything at this point. For a few days I could not even leave the house. Sometimes I find that when I feel sick if I just eat something I feel better.......BUT who wants to eat when they feel like Puking LOL Glad to hear you had a good weekend!!

[Junebug]

Dani- I am soooo sorry to hear your news! I hope you are taking it easy. Feel better.

[mom4kitties]

Miranda, I'm glad that those bands are helping with your m/s. I can imagine that having 2 babies in there is kicking your butt! Hopefully the bands will continue to provide you with some relief. How's your sore throat doing?

Hannah, it sounds like you had a fun weekend. How nice to be around people who only want to talk about your pregnancy too!

Hope, I haven't heard from you in a while. Is everything going okay? Your u/s is coming up this week!! Woohoo!!

I hope you all had a good weekend!

[MustLoveDogs]

Dani-I’m sorry to hear about your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you and your DH. I m/c at 5 wks a little less than a year ago, and I did not feel like talking to anyone at the time. I admire your strength during this difficult time.
