Oh, Katie, I am really so sorry to hear about your loss. You have our warmest thoughts surrounding you.
Adina and Phoebe, I am REALLY glad to see you over here!!!
Heather, happiestmomma, zion... i am so glad for you that the spotting is done! good sign!! as for me, i am flat on my back with my legs elevated, drinking tons of water. i initially had the spotting on Thurs, then none on Friday and Saturday... until 4pm. i have to admit, i have never been so obsessed about defining spotting. so far, it's only shown up on the toilet paper, but yesterday it was really red, both at 4, then again at 6:30... but it hasn't returned, and i have no cramping. i go for an ultrasound tomorrow morning. also, i am afraid that my symptoms have diminished - the primary one, sore breasts, seems to have eased. so that adds to the nerves.
now, in a moment of optimism (and tiredness of wearing the same pants every day), i went to old navy yesterday morning and got some maternity pants for $6.97 each! they fit great and take all the pressure off my belly. i have been experiencing the same tenderness that some of you described.
DH left yesterday for China, for 2 weeks. He called me this morning to say that he'd told his parents the good news, and I had to tell him about the bleeding. it's hard to be alone without his absolute certainty that everything is going to be fine. deep inside i believe it, too, but it's hard not to listen to the fear that echoes through my head. it might sound funny, but in the past few days, i had been eating a lot of stuff that i have deep allergies to, so i am hoping that that's what prompted the bleeding/spotting (just indulge my fantasy, ok?). or maybe it was this 105 degree heat/humidity?
so, i'm still hanging in! Welcome again to Adina and Phoebe... if you'd post your details in the due dates area, i will add you when i tend that list this evening.

Phoebe!!!!!!!
I am getting nervous again. I wish it were tomorrow.
Haha! I went to take a shower last night and realized how scary looking and how big those veins are. Oh my! Big and and blue and all over my chest all the way up to my shoulder's. Is that how everyone else's are? I just had this image that they would be small. :LOL
:
I am pretty sure standing up and walking across the room isn't bad, but on occasion, those tugs HURT!
This is wonderful news Celeste.
to everyone. What a wonderful group.
: Welcome Phoebe.
that is such wonderful news
