Hi Hannah! Just wanted to see how you're doing? How have you ben feeling lately? Weren't you on bed rest for a bit?

I'm doing well. I plan to test on Thursday at 12 dpo. I will try very hard not to test before that, but I may break down. I don't have many symptoms which is actually a good sign for a lot of women. I have had small bouts of nausea the last several days, but not much to speak of. My breasts are sore just some of the time, usually in the evening. And I've been cranky on and off which is not like me at all!

I just wanted to say hi and to let you know I was thinking about you!

Hugs,
Sue

Glad to hear you're off bed rest. I did rent "Ground Hog Day" a long time ago and thought it was so annoying that I turned it off after about 30 minutes and returned it! You poor cookie!

Oh, Hannah, I friggin' broke down and test last night AND today. I'm such a loser!!! :) Of course it was negative. Last time it only took 5 months to get pregnant. I think at age 39 that's pretty darn good. We've been trying for 3 months this time and I'm 40 now. Wow. I cannot believe I didn't make it even one day before I tested!  

Wow, you could pop at any time then! I look forward to seeing pictures!

Have a great rest of the day,

Sue

Hey Sue,

Thanks for thinking of me... Yes I was on bed rest for about 5wks. Have you ever seen that movie, "groundhog day."  Bed rest is a lot like that.. I've been off of bed rest since last monday.  So far so good. No signs of labor. I did have a dr appt last week and she checked my cervix.  She said I'm 90% effaced and dilated a finger tip, which is nothing new because that is why I was on bed rest but the interesting part is that she said the baby is at station +1. +1 is really low and well into the birthing canal. To be honest with you, I have a hard time believing it because I don't feel a lot of pressure or anything. Maybe a little, but nothing significant.. so mild I'm not even sure if I feel it or if I'm imagining it.. So anyway.. all this means is I could have the baby any day now or not until 42wks.. :)  It basically means nothing becasuse everyone is different :)  

So you say you are going to hold out till 12dpo?!?!  I think that is probably a good idea.. I don't know whether you will be able to stick to that or not, but it is good to have goals.. Thursday is just around the corner.. I think you can do it :) When you got pg the last time.. how long had you been ttc before you got pg?  Did you have to take anything or was it the good old fashioned way?  

good luck this thursday!!  Are you going to start with the cheapies or go straight to FRER??  

Thanks for thinking of me.. (big'o hugs to you too) hannah
