Kristen - thats a cute belly. I know every time I wake up I feel like I get bigger too.
Tam - I hope you feel better, Sinus pressure really hurts. I just had a sinus headache then the fluid went to my chest, giving me a bad cough then back to the headaches from coughing so hard. Ob told me to take Tylenol for the headaches & mucinex dm for the cough I have been taking it for a couple of days. Finally last night from sleeping for a week I slept 12 hrs my dh got scared and actually woke me up to make sure I was ok. I guess I needed it. Jaime - When are you starting stimming? BCP is a good sign your on your way. Hi jana - cathy - and everyone. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Today is Sunday so had all the il's over, there next door who my dh grow up with and his family. But the best is having my oldest dd and her bf over. I love Sunday dinners with the family. I live for them.

Jamie - Sorry about the breakthrough bleeding. Glad you are done with BCPs.
Kate - hoping your "plumbing" gets working better. Jana - I see you are on lupron again. Hoping those headaches stay away. Kristen - Yeah for pregnancy bellies. I remember knocking things over in a grocery store with my belly because I wasn't used to it.

Hey all!
Kristen- Awwww! I love your belly! Tami- I don't know what is worse the sinus stuff or the kicking the chair in the theater.  Jen- I would congratulate you on going back to work, but it doesn't sound fun. Heather- How are you feeling? Barbara- growing up we always went to my grandparents' house for Sunday dinner. I think it is cool that you do stuff like that. Cathy- Where is your belly pic? Jamie- yay on ending the bcp. Yeah, wtf is it with that breakthrough bleeding?? Weeks of wearing a pad... oh so fun. Jana- you started your lupron? Sorry I missed this. How are you feeling? Sarah- I hope it is all just indigestion. That would be the easiest solution right now. I went to the regular doc today about the possible gall bladder pain. I was referred for blood work (got done today) and an u/s (scheduled for tomorrow). But this all basically for diagnostic reasons. If it is my gall bladder, they won't do anything about it because of the pregnancy. But at least I will know what is wrong.

Well the u/s is technically to look at my "upper right quadrant" of my abdomen. But maybe I can smack the tech's hand and push it down lower.
Actually, I will ask if the tech can run over my uterus, but I expect a no answer. So don't expect any numbers tomorrow. I don't know when the bloodwork will come back. The doc will call.

Great idea, or Dude can distract the tech and you can use the machine yourself. I'm sure it can't be that hard. Hee hee.

My update: Well, it is good news and bad news... which do you want first? Bad news: My gall bladder looks infected. I have 2 large stones (one blocking the opening) and many smaller ones. The u/s tech said he is surprised I am not in more pain and he usually sees this in the emergency room. UGH! So now he is sending the results to our doctor and we will talk to her. I don't know what will happen. I hope we can leave it be and just let me get through the pregnancy safely. Good news: He did u/s my uterus. I think he felt bad after all the bad news. He saw 2 sacs! He said he saw no bleeding and they look to be in the right place. Yay!! With this combo of news, I don't know if I should be excited or scared. I don't want anything to endanger this pregnancy. They really don't like to do surgery on it if you are pregnant. I am changing my diet and funny thing is I actually feel pretty good today. Weird. I'll let you know what the doctor says. We also think we need to have the results sent to our OB. She may be more important to have involved in this decision.

Kate - I am sorry for the bad news. I hope your gall bladders behaves at least until you have the babies.
I knew it was going to be too..Woo-Hoo. ( sshhh I dont know if you told dude yet) LOL.. I love having family, friends over for Sunday dinner, NYFD does all the cooking & cleaning...LOL..I do the hard part the entertaining..If I could change my house I would extend my dining room to fit at least 12 instead of 8 comfortably. Because we always have to put the kids in the kitchen. But it all works out. Maybe one day your twins can have dinner with my twins... Jen - I am so jealous about the swimming, Ob said NO, he doesnt think its a good idea. oh raspberry..I really wanted to do it too. I am going to blow up to be a blimp. Should I take money for advertisements.

AHHH!! I knew it was TWO!!!!
Well first, I am so sorry about your gall bladder!! I like the idea of just getting the thing removed!! I had surgery when I was 12 weeks preg and they seem to be doing just fine...so if that is an option it might be worth investigating. Second...I'm so THRILLED about the two sacs!! Next week will be very exciting to see their little heartbeats!!! He he he...

Kate and Dude! I'm soooo very excited for you with twins! I knew it with those numbers. I'm extremely happy for you. I'm also really sorry about the gallbladder. I'm with Kristen about maybe getting it removed. I know Miranda (from the IUI forum) had gallbladder surgery when she was around 7 ir 8 months pregnant (maybe 7?) with her twins. I really hope it doesn't give you too much trouble!
