GRETCHEN!!!!! OMG, how did I not SEE this???? I am SO, SO, SO excited for you!!! Aw, you sweetheart, I'm just grinning from ear to ear. Now, make sure you really take care of yourself -- naps, good eats, don't push yourself, lots of loving cuddles with the hubby.....you're going to be just fine!

As for this forum causing pregnancy: Let me just say that if I end up preggo, THEN all you ladies will have cause for concern! I seriously amuse myself.

Gretchen, I can't tell you how happy I am for you, seriously. I'm going to call you tomorrow, you pumpkinhead. Whoo whee!!!

Congratulations!!! I wish you and your family a very happy and healthy baby!

Well I went to the Doctor today to have my blood test done to confirm what I think I already know. Due to the damn HIPAA act, they couldn't leave my results on my answering machine AND by the time I got the message, they were gone for the evening! UGH. BUT the good news is that the person who called me back is the person you meet with if you are pregnant so I am assuming that I am.. I better be I'm 2.5 weeks late on my period, I have 2 positivie home pregnancy tests, my boobs hurt like **** and I have morning sickness... SOOO... I call tomorrow to get the final verdict! Just thought I'd share. Thanks for all your kind words of encouragement!

Love to you all!

This is so exciting!!!! I'm excited!!!

Don't worry, I'm staying far away from the water for a looooong time!!!

I got the blood test results back... I AM Pregnant! Happy Happy...

Fitst appointment Jan 14.... I'll have more info then!

Congrats again!! It's amazing how many times you need to be told until you believe! You want it so bad - and you don't want to be let down.

Now.. this is an order... rest.. as much as you can!! Trust me, you'll need it. Take care of yourself. If there is any time you are spoil yourself and treat yourself right the next 3 months is the time.

God Bless...

Dana

How did I miss this!!!! Many, many congratulations. I know it is hard not to worry about those first 3 months. Just take it one day at a time and I agree, you need to get your rest and if you have to go ahead and take those naps on your lunch break. I did.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

But I was 258 when they told me I was pregnant with Olivia (3 in Feruary). When I went in to give birth I was 250. I know!!
When I got home I weighed 225. What was may GRACE. yoga. I took yoga 3 times a week and ate alot alot of raw veggies and hummus took my vitamins and drank plenty of water. The reason to worry will compel you to take better care of yourself. I have to admit that I took alot better care of my self than I do now. I wish you the best of luck.

Gretchen how wonderful! I am so so happy for you! What a great year it will be for you both!!!! CONGRATULATIONS and take excellent care of yourself xx

Congrats! I just finished that journey. You will be fine. Take it easy and enjoy every second after your ms goes away.
Motherhood had made such a profound impact on my life. I never knew I could love something so much that my heart hurt everytime I looked at them.
I also fall in love with my dh even more everyday watching him with our babies. My dh and I were saying the other day........ what did we do before kids? They are so much work but the payoff is one millionfold.
