I'm feeling even better today. No more twinges and it even looks like the sun is trying to make an appearance!

Marylin- I think we do! I got a postive OPK on 3-14-08, so I'm assuming I ovulated/conceived on 3-15-08. Looks like we're just about exact if you had your trigger shot on 3-14-08!
And, we both have our first ultrasound on the same day! I'm kind of nervous, since I'll be just over 6 weeks. What if it's a little too early to see the heart beat? I think I'd have a nervous breakdown if I left the u/s without seeing a heart beat. Ramblings: My sister-in-law is also pregnant, and she is about a month ahead of me. It's pretty exciting because they have been trying for a while, and miscarried last summer. She has her first ultrasound tomorrow. It would be so nice for our babies to grow up together, but they are in Seattle and we're in Kentucky.  Oh well, there is always family get togethers. We usually meet at my parents house in Arkansas in the summers (they live on a lake and have a great boat)!

wow, gone for a weekend and all kind of stuff is going on.
Congrats Marilynn, Rebecca & Jenny on awesome 2nd betas. one hurdle done, how many more do we have? Jolie - i was told that anything that has a high fat content, like pizza, will be more likely to make you sick. although i haven't gotten sick, i had pizza friday night and i laid on the couch for two hours popping tums trying to avoid it Shannon - December 3rd, that is amazingAmy - we shared beta days and looks like we are also going to share due dates, good luck on your u/s on friday, i will keep my fingers crossed for you tamiso no new symptoms, my student teacher says that my breasts are bigger (she doesn't know that i am pregnant) but i don't see any veins or a darker nipple. i go for my prenatal appointment on wednesday and u/s next week, i am just trying to stay positive have a great day mamas

Jamie - thanks for making the list
It's nice to see all the due dates in one place.Jenny and Tami - Good luck with your BETAS today!!!!! MissJoli - I think it is really cool that your little one has a cousin coming along at the same time - a little friend already.  Shannon - good luck on your upcoming 2nd ultrasound! We very likely will be moving to Singapore bc dh has an excellent opportunity for advancing his career there. I am trying not to worry about this and am doing some online research on hospitals with good NICUs etc. I am also thinking of getting a doula who can help ameliorate any kind of issues that may arise from cultural differences, etc. First things first, however, I am for strong heart beats at all the u/s that are coming up.
