boring

I'm totally going to become have already become a boring pregnancy blogger.  I don't really have anything interesting to say.

The anxiety is still really there.  My symptoms have lightened up a bit in the last few days, which makes me really nervous.  I'm only 8w2d- I shouldn't be coming out 1st trimester symptoms yet.  But, I've been hungry and not as tired.  Even my acne is clearing up.  I'm so nervous for the scan on Monday.  B can't go because he has a meeting at work, but my mom is going to go with me.

I ended up ordering a doppler.  It came the other day.  I haven't tried it yet, because I think it is too early and I want to wait at least until I see that testiclese/clitiva is still alive.

In unpregnancy related freak-outs, something scared the crap out of me this morning.  I'm just relaxing on the couch, and I hear something banging around/scratching from somewhere in the house.  My house is strange, in that part of it is on a raised foundation, and part of it slab.  It stopped after a few seconds, then came back a few minutes later.  I got up and stomped around on the raised part, and banged on the walls too.  I haven't heard it again.  It could have been a rabbit, a rat, a raccoon, a squirrel, a bird, possum, or coyote.  We've seen all of those animals around here.  I guess it could be a lost domesticated animal.  It sounded bigger than a rat.  Oh crap, there it is again and it is going crazy.  It is definitely under the house somewhere.  I can hear it move around.  Why can't it just go out the way it came in??

    Emmy, I started to feel better (not good but better) with both babies at around 8 weeks. I have to say it was a much welcome relief, I don't think I could go 6 more weeks feeling as bad as I do 6-8 weeks. So anyway, hopefully you're just like me, and little bean in there is still doing awesome!

    While I haven't really been feeling sick, my heartburn stopped about a week and a half ago and totally freaked me out,since it was my only really discernible symptom. I'm sure everything's fine!

    I just read through your blog and am so excited for you! We are thinking of using donor sperm so this is all very educational for me. I hope you feel better soon!

    Boring is good =) At the end of 1T most of my symptoms left too and I was freaked out! Reality is that your body is probably just getting use to all those crazy hormones. The doppler was super helpful in keeping me calm, we started using it at about 10 weeks and were reliably able to hear the h/b.

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
