When I found out my Ob/Gyn didn't have an ultrasound machine at her office, I was disappointed. Then, when I read that sometimes 10 weeks is too early to pick up the baby's heartbeat on Doppler, I panicked. If she couldn't hear the heartbeat at my appointment next week, I would be likely to freak right out (even if my logical mind knows it could be too early).
So guess what I did?
I emailed my wonderful RE at the fertility clinic and begged her for an ultrasound. I offered up cash, diamonds, gold bouillon, anything. She kindly offered to let me sneak in for a "quickie" on Thursday (Jan 17) morning at 7:45am - before her other patients arrive. Have I mentioned that I love my RE? Even though I am officially "discharged" from the fertility clinic, I am holding on with all teeth and claws, I tell you. I don't want to be treated like everyone else! I want to be special!!
Anyway, so now I get to go in for an ultrasound in two mornings from now. My first reaction was excitement, but now that it's sunk in - I'm scared and worry-addled all over again, just like before my first ultrasound at 7 weeks. I know the odds are in my favour, but I'm still nervous.
I think I've become so accustomed to my very mild pregnancy symptoms, that I'm having a hard time "feeling pregnant" at this stage and I realize 9 weeks isn't all that far along to be feeling much. I don't even know what I'd want to be feeling, all I know is that I guess I thought it would be more than this.
What I am feeling:
-HUGE breasts, aureolas darker and bigger now
-Hungry, thirsty, tired
-The occasional very mild twinge thing in my uterus
-Grouchy, sensitive, irrational
-Occasional backache (sciatica)
If you can spare a good thought, please send one my way for Thursday morning. I'm trying to think logically and not get all worried by my irrational brain (see list above) takes over with fear and anxiety every so often and I find myself rocking in the corner and foaming at the mouth. I really don't care about anything else anymore - I just want my Scrappy to be healthy and growing strong. Thanks for reading.

Jeez relax woman! ;-)
9 weeks is very early, you'll be cursing it soon enough when you cant change your own underwear, so just try to enjoy it as much as you can.
and by those symptoms, barring the itchy uterus, I may be up the duff myself.
Take it easy!
Wow! Nice RE! I wish mine was that nice...
Weird that your ob doesn't have a u/s machine.
GL!
Good Luck on Thursday!
Great RE- I have white coat dr's appointment anxiety about a week before all my appointments. Good luck to y ou - we are just so accustom to bad news that we don't know what to do at this point with all of this good news!
You will get lots more good news!
You're sounding pretty pregnant to me.
I can't believe your OB doesn't have an ultrasound machine...I thought that was par for the course?
congrats good luck and your due date is my mother's birthday.
Sending lots of good thoughts your way! :)
HUGS!
Good luck Thursday AM! I like the new ticker (you have a DUE DATE!!), although I miss the old one a bit as it was kinda fun to see Scrappy look more and more human-like by the day.
Never mind! When I re-loaded the page I saw both pregnancy tickers. BTW, thanks for the positive thoughts on my journal. However, I just went back and read your December entries... you were getting significant symptoms by 5DP5DT (or the equivalent of 10DPO)! :)
Oh, yay...please post ASAP how the ultrasound went! I have all my crossables crossed!

The general difficulties of women's and men's fashion
Both men and women can feel the demands of keeping their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion usually feels a lot less complicated. Of program, for both sexes, outfits and fashion choices may be equally as complicated, and there are several'modern'things that could quickly become fashion faux pas - who can say they frequently see people running around in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's style features a few choice goods that will exist forever - which man is going to look out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Pick traditional cuts, colors and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.
Why traditional men's fashion is timeless
The basic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many varieties for various functions, however they are all popular in their search for a wise, sharp look for the person. The best part about classic fashion for men is that it's simply elegant effortlessly cool. A well-groomed man will almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such clothing. A match will undoubtedly be worn to work in many jobs because of the professional search it offers to the individual, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Equally a match will be used to many social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This incredible versatility which allows matches to be used in virtually all functions is what gives it its timeless edge and a permanent place in men's fashion.
Modern developments in traditional men's style
Whilst classic men's styles can never be changed, it's interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought particular classic garments back to fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, particularly, has taken back a wide-variety of classic designs into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet elegant way, placing value on appearance and operating in a sophisticated manner. This pattern for almost'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is evident from events such as the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages dress yourself in significantly Victorian-style attire and take to the roads on vintage cycles - with many of the men wearing impeccable mustaches! That is only one of many examples of proof showing the revival of such variations. Additionally, there are numerous blogs on line which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as complete web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in giving articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.
In conclusion, whilst specific facets of basic men's style may be brought back as new trends, the basic garments which they are based on will never slip out of fashion.
