Was planning, last night, on posting today how happy I was to have gone 24 hours with no spotting. Hah. And then I went to the bathroom after dinner and had a small heart attack.  I am starting to wonder if it’s cervical irritation, rather than anything else.  I sure am shoving a lot of [...]

Doing better today.  This should hold for another 27-28 hours and then I’ll be back on the crazy-train, but for now, it’s a comfortable place to be. I’ve decided to put my trust in nausea and boobs that I swear to god grew a cup size overnight.  I’m thinking of going to buy some cheap [...]

Ok, so I’m not dealing well with all this spotting. Not at all. Instead of living week to week for ultrasounds, or even hanging in there til my first trimester is over (hah!) I’m living pretty much bathroom-trip to bathroom-trip, based on the color of the toilet paper.  And thanks to the overactive bladder, that’s [...]

Still here.  Still spotting, though no cramping at all since last weekend, so I’m trying to take my doctor’s advice and not worry. Which isn’t really working out all that well for me.  As you might have guessed. I am a worrier by nature and by inclination, and blood during early pregnancy just aint right. [...]

Yesterday was pretty brutal.  Much nausea.  Much Tiredness bordering on stupifying exhaustion.  I pretty much crawled between the computer and the bed for half-hour doses of each.  Fortunately, I am the companion of a whippet, who stayed in bed all day long so that I wouldn’t feel bad about my infirmity.  She’s swell like that. [...]

Although I’m at 7w5d I am ALSO in my eighth week of pregnancy.  How cool is that?  I hadn’t really sat down and thought it through, but one of the numerous baby sites I subscribe to sent me a “news flash” about my 8th week of pregnancy and I got all indignant until I sat [...]

A nice mini-break in the country for poor green-deprived Sprogblogger.  The dog had a good time, too, I think.  Actually, I think the dog would trade everything – including her loving humans – in order to live in the country year round.   I got sunburned, falling asleep in clouds/sun.  Uncomfortable today, but it was [...]

Off to Connecticut this morning, which should be fun, though a lot of my fun gets curtailed while I’m gestating.  No hiking because of the high risk for Lyme disease.  Still, a chance to hang out in the relative coolness and work in my father-in-law’s garden and generally relax away from Brooklyn noise and stink [...]

I can’t believe it.  Except I can, really, because this one feels different and has from the beginning.  We’ve never gotten this far before.  Not with a heartbeat.   And me – I’m all over the damned place.  Fluctuating between giddy and complacent.  I dreamed about a little boy, about ten years old.  Blond and [...]

HB = 157 bpm CRL = 10.1 mm Doc says he’s measuring right on track for everything, though this set of US pictures is kind of like looking at clouds.  ”Do you see there?  That bulge?  It’s like a head.  Or a tail.  Maybe.” Next week will be my last appointment at the RE’s.  He [...]
