Didn't want your thread to be lonely, luckymama! Woo Hoo for us!!!!!

[luckymama]

OMG congratulations!!!! yay, there's two of us! and from the one thread, too.

how are you?

[midwestmom]

I am good! So excited and nervous. I just want to sail through these first few fatigue ridden weeks. I hope my DH and toddlers can put up with me. No big symptoms yet, but I am only 3w 6d. Looks like my due date is technically July 4.

How about you?

[luckymama]

excited and nervous ... that's exactly me. i'm 4w3d today, and i'm totally exhausted by mid-afternoon. also very hungry, especially around 4am ... i don't remember that happening until much later last time. sigh. my edd is (i believe) july 1, but i was 3 days over with ds, so july 4th is not out of the realm of possibility. i'm already anticipating my ds will be watching too much tv for the first trimester or so ... i do remember being so tired i couldn't get up when i was pg with him. anyway, i dug out all the animated, rated g movies i could find so i have them on hand. i can't imagine having to do it with TWO toddlers. how did you do it last time with the one?

speaking of ... toddler is yelling for me ... almost bedtime!

I'm with you on the tiredness. We're going to be watching a lot of shows as well. It seems like every chance I get I want to close my eyes!

Well, it was even harder to take care of DS during my 3rd trimester b/c I was on modified bedrest for 3 mo-ugh. I am in trouble if that happens again!

The fatigue is what got me the most with my pregnancies early on as well. I am doing acupuncture right now and she said she could help with fatigue and nausea...we will see!

I'm here! YAY! I finally got two darker lines so I feel more confident!!

oh you poor thing ... i hope you don't have to do that again. i was on modified bed rest for a mere week, and i thought i was going to lose my mind. i have to find a new acupuncturist ... mine turns out doesn't seem really comfortable treating pregnant women ... and when i told her i was, she told me about a pregnant client of hers whose baby had a terrible tragedy after a treatment and then went on to tell me that she herself never wanted her own children in the first place. i was weeping by the end of the session, and i'm never going back again. i'm hoping i can find someone else soon.

OMG, yes...find someone else!

I was on bedrest for 3 mo with each pregnancy, so my odds are questionable, but I am very hopeful .
