They confirmed it this morning. My HCG had dropped to 46 as of a blood draw late last week. We lost our little Jellybean at about 5 weeks and the bleeding was not- as originally indicated- caused by the cyst they found at the ER. The ER simply refused to divulge that they found no heart beat on the ultrasound, told me it was "just very early in pregnancy," and sent me to my midwife like nothing was wrong. I don't think I have ever been so furious in my life.

Lots and lots of prayers please. We're not sure if something is up with a small cyst they found on my right ovary, or if we may be losing jellybean.

That moment your mother in law calls and you have to quickly make up an excuse to get off the phone because morning sickness hits.😑

I feel really stressed, torn, and guilty right now, in spite of all the excitement of finding out we're expecting again. We have this guy staying in our spare bedroom (he is paying a little) and it's coming up on a year even though it was only supposed to be for a few months. We've kind of let it slide that he's not been looking for other arrangements because he's a friend, but now we're going to need our spare bedroom back for a nursery ( I JUST got our toddler out of our room, I do not plan on...

Alright. Hubs wants to timelapse my belly for this baby, so here's my starting point. Local PC confirmed today(yaaay!!), so 6w1d. Nothing to see yet except some of that lovely early pregnancy bloat XD

Looks like we're in for double trouble by the end of this year. #2 is on the way. I'm not sure what's more nerve wracking- the thought of 2, 2 and under, or deciding the best/cutest way to announce to friends and family 😂

5 weeks 4 days post partum. I'm feeling pretty good at this point, for having a bruised or cracked tailbone and an injured shoulder making doing things other than the bare minimum difficult. Currently, I'm just happy my little bird is napping.

ladies. my mother in law just made s'moreos.

Not wanting to start wars or anything, I'm just genuinely curious. Are there any other mamas out there who just don't feel like tummy time is worth forcing it and hearing an unhappy baby scream? I mean, Wren wasn't a terribly floppy baby to begin with. She lifted her head and started rolling herself to her side in the hospital (which freaked me out). Maybe that's why I'm not so concerned? I dunno.

Anyone else have issues when baby cries and someone other than you or your significant other/baby's daddy is holding baby? My husband and I couldn't soothe or daughter so his mother offered to try and listening to her scream in the other room with my mother in law, I just out right burst in to tears. I felt (read:feel) useless and kinda like I'm failing. Like I handle Wren crying a thousand times better when she's in my arms and almost that much if she's with my husband, though there are times I...
