Ultrasound #2

Ever since I lost my dear cat yesterday I stopped caring that I was pregnant. I know that sounds horrible but him and I, we’ve been together for FOURTEEN years and I don’t even know these guys yet…all I could think about was my poor furry baby. I can’t help feeling this immense guilt, like [...]

A sad loss

I had a horrible sad loss today. My dear cat of 14 years was hit by a car and killed this morning. He has been by my side for so long. Through breakups, heartaches, layoffs, infertility. Everything. He IS my baby and always will be. My friends say this is the cycle of life. One [...]

7 week ultrasound photos

These photos are a little blurry but here they are anyway. Baby A Baby B …and here’s both of them. She tried to squeeze them into the same view so one of them is squished. It’s the dark circle in the middle and the half circle on the right. I think.

Beta #2

Nothing to do but eat (apparently lots of fibrous things), sleep and keep on living my life till then. I’m definitely nervous that it could still be ectopic [...]

Update on cramping/bleeding

My nurse heard my panicked message and called me back this morning and asked me are you still cramping and bleeding? I was lucky to be able to answer, no. Well, technically I’m bleeding but…ok here goes the TMI. I have hemmorrhoids. I’ve gotten it once before and it looks like I have it again…and [...]
