Week 4
I’m trying something new this time…. I’m going to try to fill this out every week. I may have to tweak it as I go along.
How far along? 4 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 130.2 (+0)
Maternity clothes? Don’t have any out yet, but sure as hell wish I did – can’t fit into any of my pants because of the bloating.
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: Should be pretty good now!
Best moment this week: Getting that positive test!
Movement: n/a
Food cravings: Nothing in particular.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: I’m already missing cold ham sandwiches.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the beta numbers!
Weekly Wisdom: Vacations are a great distraction and a much needed break from reality.
Milestones: BFP!
Symptoms: Achy boobs. They’re all tingly – not quite painful, but not quite not either. The spotting 3 days ago. Some achy ovaries, which are still probably from the stims. And the terrible bloat, oh my. (Note that the picture does not show most of the bloat, because I took it first thing in the morning before food!)
I look forward to seeing these every week and following your progress! (BTW, I can see the bold tags in the post…)
Kari, yeah I noticed that. I used the wrong tags. LOL Fixed now!
i like it. and congrats on the BFP!!!
Yes, Yes, YESSSS!!!! I am so happy for you. I will be praying for a strong heartbeat and a great report in a couple of weeks….and a great BETA before that. You did deserve that necklace. Your husband sounds like a gift.
Haven’t checked in for a while but am soooo happy to see your BFP. Holding thumbs for a fab beta xxx
This is fantastic news! Praying things progress well and that in 36 weeks you can hold a lovely baby in your arms. We’re all happy for you (we = my husband, my daughter and I). *BIG HUGS*
teehee soo cute…can’t wait to see more…i bet those ladies at work are going to be sooo excited as well huh?:D
Nat, every time I come back here I start crying!
I’m holding my breath for your beta, but damn, does that pg test look fabulous.
Give my love to Den!
I haven’t posted in a long time but have been reading. I think the picture of your BFP is one of the prettiest ones I’ve ever seen. It’s a nice line, nice and dark–full of hope. Congrats. You’re on your way again. What is the EDD?
Huge, huge congrats Nat (and Den) The lines on your tests look so beautiful and dark (far darker than mine, and my HCG was 285 today at 16 DPO) Here’s to May babies!
Love it Love it LOVE IT.
Been following along for awhile and I wanted to send you a HUGE congratulations!!! I am beyond thrilled for you both. Here’s to a happy and healthy 9 months and beyond.
I am SO happy for you.
I love the new “survey” idea! Very creative. Now about that beta number already… writhing in impatience…
And you look lovely of course! Even prettier than that BFP picture :)
Seeing these posts just make me smile from ear to ear :) I keep coming back again and again , so, so happy for you !
Many congratulations! will be following along with everyone else…
You look fabulous! Can’t wait to see that belly grow grow grow.
So happy for you. :)
Many congratulations on your pregnancy! May you have a blessed, happy and healthy 9 months!
Nat, if there is anyone out there who truly deserves to have things work out for thm in this regard, it is you. I am so thrilled for you!
I’ve been following your story for a while now, but never commented until now… But felt this was the perfect time! Congratulations to you and Den! You deserve it!!!!!!
LOVE THAT BETA!!!!!!!!! Woohoooooooo!!!
So glad the BETA was just what you thought it should be!
yes..yes..yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I can’t wait to see that belly get nice and round!!!!
Just checked in to see..and holy cow! That’s is the best beta I’ve seen and the prettiest pee sticks on the planet. It’s about fucking time!!!!! This is it, really and truly. I couldn’t be happier.
I had horrible bloat in the beginning even without IVF. Ugh! :)
Yipppppeeeee! So happy for you!
And may it happen for you in good time.
