Well, here goes...

[motherofthree]

Well, I haven't told ANYONE in my family yet (isn't it interesting that I'm willing to share it with you all, though?), but I had a positive pregnancy test this morning. The line was a bit faint but it was there. I am technically 4 weeks. I am cautiously excited, very nervous. I am going to wait to tell close family other than my husband until we see a heartbeat at 6 weeks. And we'll tell everyone else at 12 or 14 weeks. The problem is that it's not a sure thing, as we all have experienced. I almost wish I could keep it to myself until this one is born...

Anyway, please pray for me and my little peanut.

[Cathy]

I will be praying hard for you
Wishing you the best and keep us posted

Congratulations. Our babies are almost the exact same age. I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and going for another ultrasound to hear the heartbeat hopefully. So we can help eachother through this one now. I am so excited for you and know every fear you have right now and it is scary. U helped me calm down when I thought I was having a miscarriage and prayed for me through it all and you have been pregnant yourself. My first 2 tests were faint but became dark when i took one 2 days later to make sure. I will be keeping you in my prayers to. So we will have 2 healthy babies in our arms around the same days!!

[CurtisIII's Mommy]

I am so happy for you!!! Know that you'll be in my prayers!!!!

[JenniferBrown]

Beth, You have been in my prayers ever since you went to the dr! I have such big goose bumps from hearing your news!!!!! Congratulations! I know how nervous and cautious you are but I'm praying and wishing you a Happy and Very Healthy 9 months!!! Looks like you were able to cut the time for IUI with this baby in half just as you did with Priya. hehehehe

[motherofthree]

Thank you everyone for your continuing support and prayers! I am so very nervous, but trying to think positively. It works sometimes.


I thought it wasn't normal to see heartbeats til 8 weeks?
Nope - my fertility Dr. does and high-res internal (with a wand thingy) ultrasound around 6-61/2 weeks. I'm guessing he'll wait until at least 6 1/2 since I was a late ovulator (day 18 vs day 14). That's the make-or-break sign. Before I miscarried (my very 1st pregnancy), they were able to tell at 5 weeks that things weren't going well and he warned me I would lose the pregnancy, then confirmed at 6 weeks when there was no visible heartbeat.


So how are you doing today?
Starting to have a bit of nausea, which is weird because with Priya I had none, and with Kavya, I had slight nausea about weeks 6-11. So I'm wondering - I hope that isn't much worse this time. But I'll take whatever gets thrown at me as long as I have a healthy baby. It's so weird because on one hand, I'm sad because Kavya's little sisters won't have her as they grow up. But it's hard to wrap my mind around, because I wouldn't be pregnant right now it Kavya had lived...I don't have any guilt about it or anything, just hard to resolve in my mind.


Looks like you were able to cut the time for IUI with this baby in half just as you did with Priya.

I KNOW!! And I was totally kidding when I said that!! I about peed my pants when I saw that positive line fade into sight! I still can't believe it. And knowing there were 4 eggs - my family has been wishing multiples on me for years (my older sister has twin girls). But I'm not going to worry about that - just wishing for a healthy baby(ies) - God won't give me what I can't handle.

Beth . . .

You have such an amazing, strong, positive outlook! I love that you have so much faith in what God gives you . . . you are truly a self-blessed person for having that strong faith! You have obviously made a choice to face life head-on and I think God finds you to be one of his best soldiers, fighting on even when faced with the hardest things that life can give you!
You are an awesome mom!!!!
You are still in my prayers . . . I've been watching this thread everytime it pops up to see what news you have for us . . . soldier on!!!

HUGS!!!!

Beth--I'm sooooooooooo happy for you!! So wonderful! Please keep us posted and take care of yourself and your little little one. Yeah!!

[Patty Patterson]

I'm so happy for you! And I will be keeping you in prayer! Congratulations!

[Jayme]

I am excited you were able to get pregnant so quickly! I hope things continue to go well!

[motherofthree]

Thank you all...

I finally told some of my family members, and whereas before I was feeling pretty confident, now I feel like I jinxed everything by telling them so early. I really was going to wait, but was over at my grandma's house and she kept asking me what was wrong with me, and kindof had it all figured out. This nausea is difficult to hide at family functions when you're not eating. I've never had it this bad before - can hardly keep down water or ginger ale - averaging about one meal a day. YUCK!

[amburke2]

Beth,
I am so happy for you that you have another baby! I was thinking of you today because it's Kavya's anniversary - how exciting that she is a big sister.

[MadiAidMak]

Beth,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am also expecting again (Nov. 29)I have been scared and worried,I will be praying for you adn your precious bundle. I cant believe how many of us are expecting ,all around the same time,WOW!!!!

[linda]

Beth, I was out of town so I didn't see this...CONGRATS! I will be praying for you and the lil' one!

[Marcus Momma]

So beth how are you doing? Hows the pregnancy going?

[motherofthree]

So far so good - my nausea has gotten a little easier to bear. Other than that I'm just waiting to see the little one's heartbeat on Monday. The wait is driving me insane. I felt pretty confident after last week's scan, but now I've talked myself back around into the negative. I keep praying for God not to test me agan - not on this thing, anyway. But I have to let go and whatever should be is what will happen I suppose. How are you feeling, Shawnna?

[Marcus Momma]

Scared but a lot better after I found out I was right about how far along I was I guess my kids go boom and they are there when they wanna get there!! The docs are giving me an ultrasound at every appointment a bedside one so they don't have to charge, its for me to know everything is going alright because they can't do anything extra because nothing went wrong during my pregnancy. But my doc is nice enough to still show me my baby at ever app. I will get the see her!!( I wanna Girl) again on July 29. I can't wait I will be 12 weeks then. Thet got the 4d ultrasounds there after I had Marcus but they do those now at 28 weeks!! I am glad your nasuea is better! Mine has gotten better to. There are going to be a lot of babies born on here around the same time and I pray to God everyone of them is healthy!
