Well, after much internal debate, I have decided to heed the advice of the majority and NOT get a fetal doppler. As much as I want one, I know I would abuse it. And, I want to have some faith in my little Scrappy. It was a very tough choice, but I think it's the right one. At least for now.
I made my first "real" doctor's appointment today since being "discharged" (actually I think they use the term "graduated") from the fertility clinic. I will be seeing Dr. R on Wednesday, January 23rd at 3:00pm. At that time, I will be 10w3d. I am really excited, but I'm sure you will not be surprised to read that I am also very nervous all over again. I so hope we'll get to see that little Scrappy has grown and is doing just perfectly. I have asked D to go with me - it's really hard for him to get time off work so it was a big request - but he is my good luck charm so his presence is imperative.
I've felt a low, heavy weight in my lower abdomen/uterus all day. It feels like I'm carrying around a honeydew melon in there. I feel very bloated and "on the verge of being crampy", but the cramps never come. I like to think and hope that's my Scrappy setting up shop in there.
Go ahead honey, make yourself right at home.

i am proud of you for making a decision that quickly and with that much honesty! Go you!!! I am hoping your husband can get off to go with you for that wonderful scan!
I think you made a wise decision. I know it's not what you *wanted* to decide, but it will probably be the best thing in the long run. After all, how would you blog if you became completely obsessed with the doppler? :)
holy moly, you're almost 12 weeks. 12 weeks means that you are almost home free. man, this rocks.
well, i am getting a doppler (pray G-d this doesn't all go to pot). so, you can just come over for a little listen. k?
xoxoxo
yes, Scrappy, you get quite comfortable in there, you little fighter!
stay strong, hilary, you are doing GREAT. =)
The weight thing is weird, isn't it?
Good for you. I like to think I would've made the same decision had G been ok with me getting one, but I don't know if I would've been as strong as you.
Congratulations on setting your first appointment. I look forward to all of your updates and hearing about how Scrappy is progressing! :)
HUGS!
