Thanks for asking. I am doing good. I feel really pregnant. Its so funny how once you get those lines you can indulge in the symptoms but until you get them you just keep hoping and wondering. I am extremely nervous with all of the cramping, but I remember having them with Abby, I just don't remember how bad they were. So of course I am constantly checking the tp, just in case.

I set up all of my dr. appt's. I go in for foot surgery Wednesday, I called them and they said it was fine to do during pregnancy because they use a laser and a local anethesia (sp?). So it isn't supposed to be harmful to baby. Also he said that I could still take the BA because it won't effect my foot from bleeding because they use the laser. That makes me feel a little better now. I really didn't want to go all 9 months with this problem with my foot.

On thursday I see the diabetes nurse practitioner to sort out my bloodsugars and insulin levels. We will also be pushing to get the sensor for my pump. That will mean that it will beep at me when it starts to get too high or too low. This will save me a lot of stress of those occassional highs and low sugars. Wish me luck on that one though, insurance thinks its just a luxory.

I don't see my Ob/gyn until the 16th and I am hoping that they will do an u/s then and be able to give me a date. Then on the 17th I will see the hematologist. I am a little nervous about the shots of Lovenox, but I will do anything to bring this baby home!! I know it probably seems crazy for a diabetic to be afraid of shots..lol but these ones are supposed to burn.

I will be sure to let you know how most of these dr. appt's go. There will be many, many appts in the first trimester. The second trimester not as many and then the third trimester will get busy again.

I'm so happy for you Rhonda. Enjoy every little m/s bout, headache, and cramp. We are all beggin for them

Oh trust me, you wont here me complain here, not for one minute. I have been begging to be sick for 6 years. I didn't even really have that much m/s with Abby. I will take every ache and pain and love every minute of it. I keep trying to enjoy each minute that I have with this little one. Its hard to get super excited when you have had a loss though, but we have to stay positive right? I pray for a new symptom every day or week at least. Bring them on! I know every women here would do anything to have those aches and pains. Its kind of why I havent' joined a ddc yet. I know I should probably go introduce myself though but its really hard after getting to know the July 07 ddc and then had to leave them so suddenly.

First off, I'm SO excited for you!!

You should go over to Pregnancy After Loss, if you haven't already. They are SO great about getting you through all the anxiety. And as for complaining: I told myself I wouldn't complain during my pregnancy with Erin, because I did so much with Cora. But...sometimes complaining is how you keep sane. It doesn't mean that you aren't completely in love with your baby or that you aren't ecstatic to be pregnant. It just means that being pregnant sucks sometimes, and there's no getting around that.

And the DDC's, well...it's okay if you don't join one just yet.
