pamperedalf said:DS told me he was done being sad and was ready to try for some babies 1 boy & 1 girl. He is so wonderful, but I told him if we have 2, he is going to have to help in the middle of the night w/ diapers. He didn't like that part, he also doesn't understand that we probably have to wait a few months to try again.
Thanks again, you guys rock!
pamperedalf said:Well today went a lot easier than I thought it would. Had a friend congratulate me on our news, that was hard to correct her then to find out she just found out she was preggo. I felt so bad, because I probably scared her.
I think I knew something was wrong and I had cried all weekend, so I don't think it's as hard as I anticipated. The hardest part was seeing the heartbeat last week. I was nervous going in and was so relieved to see that heartbeat. I am ready for mother nature to be over with.

"Commonly, people report they feel some sense of relief after a bout of crying. There is general agreement that there is a significant increase in the number, type and amount of stress hormones released in our bodies prior to crying. Consistently, researchers find that tears contain stress hormones. This is a critical finding since we know stress hormones cause damage to virtually all bodily systems. During the last decade, stress hormones have been shown to cause serious damage to brain cells. Stress hormones have seem to target specific parts of the brain including the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and pre-frontal cortex. Unfortunately, stress hormones attack the very brain sites implicated in the perpetuation of mood disorders. As a result, stress hormones damage the exact sites capable of reducing or eliminating the release of the toxic stress hormones.
Finally, extensive biomedical studies demonstrate that stress hormones negatively affect virtually every system in the body including the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and immune systems. It is clear that crying is a primary way for the body to eliminate harmful stress hormones. Thus, crying is a natural and essential biological function that results in the elimination of stress hormones connected to every imaginable stress related health problem. The 21st century has started by removing any doubt about the positive health effects of crying.
Is it any wonder that people so often report feeling relieved after a good cry ? From a public health perspective, it is obvious that the general public would benefit from a campaign to eliminate all stigma associated with crying awareness so everyone can benefit from the innumerable positive health effects of crying.
Practitioner's of folk wisdom have routinely encouraged people to allow themselves to cry comforting the suffering soul that ' a good cry will help you feel better'."
Isn't God wonderful, a built in mechanisim to deal with life's ups and downs. So let it out when you need to. BIG HUG! Thoughts and prayers going your way.
pamperedalf said:Thank you, so much!!! God knows that's the only reason I haven't had a nervous breakdown, and yesterday was a pajama day.
DH left this morning for a few days for work. What poor timing, and it's his program so he's the only one who can do it. So thank you so much for your kind words & hugs because they are getting me through the day.
I felt bad last night I called my sis and backed out on her baby shower gift. I bought them a 3D sonogram for this Saturday. I know that I would cry during the whole time, and it's their happy moment. She said she understood, and probably would of done the same thing if the roles were reversed.
Thank you again!
The heart rate at the first appointment was 181, which the doctor said was very strong.
Yes, I had dreams that I was carrying twins, but the doctor assured me that there is only a 1% chance of miscarriage once a heartbeat is detected and the baby is in the right spot.
Yes, based on the measurement of the baby, my due date has been changed to March 21st.
My doctor mentioned that the second baby is typically bigger and that I should be careful since my first child was close to 9lbs.
Yes, I have my ticket and unless I am put on bed rest, I will be attending the leadership event as a new director with my fellow Pampered Chef colleagues.
