I have been more emotional these last couple of days than usual. I just started reading "Chicken Soup for the Expectant Mother's Soul" - I think the first poem I read before all the stories start off I started tearing up!!!

I am also having mood swings...targeted mostly at my dear DH and his lack of cleaning skills in the kitchen!!!

I just woke up from a nap - feel great! I have been neglecting my "to do" list for work and general things...my mind has just been so preoccuiped with my !!! Anyone else in the same boat? How do we get back on track (at least for a little while) with committments??!!!

wow, a lot is going on around here. sorry i have been MIA, but i had a scare starting on monday with a brown discharge continuing with a trip to the ER on tuesday due to heavy bleeding with clots and cramps. but it looks like i have a fighter in there. as of right now i have one strong little love bug with a wonderful heartbeat!!! So i am on bedrest until i go back on monday for another u/s.

congrats Rox on yoru BFP, i know that it is hard to concentrate on anything other than being pregnant, isn't it wonderful

sorry about being on the emotional rollar coaster, i thought that would all end once we got our BFP. i have been a little bit more emotional but the mood swings are what is killing me, just the smallest little thing is setting me off. guess, i am going to have to put that in check.

i hope that everyone is having a great thursday and enjoying every minute of being a mama to be. blessings to all!

Jamie, I am so glad that your little bean is in there tight, and that you both are recovering. It must have been so wonderful and a relief to see the fluttering heart beat. You take good care

Glad to hear that everything turned out okay, Jamie. I know frightening it is with just little bleeding and I can only imagine how it must have been to have to go to the ER. Rest up this weekend

I go in for my next beta tomorrow and, to be honest, I'm a little nervous. I haven't been feeling naseous hardly at all the past couple days and I've read that a sudden end to symptoms can be a bad sign. I can't say that I enjoyed the nausea, but at least it was a bit reassuring. I'm sure everything is fine, but it's hard not to worry.

I am reading today's post from my blackberry. I went to the clinic this morning for b/w and still waiting for them to call me back with the BETA #. I am going into work now so will post my result later this evening.
I am worried about lack of symptoms too - just sore b's and peeing a lot - no nausea.

Thanks everyone!! I do feel a lot better getting the second BETA done - if it weren't for you ladies I probably wouldn't have asked for a second.
