Nicole- Weight gain is based on your weight before pregnancy. For an average/halthy weight person it should be 15-25 pounds for the pregnancy and about 1-2 pounds/week in the 2nd trimester. I was hoping the appetite changes were a good sign, but I'm thinking they could be just as easily attributed to the hcg, too. It was just the one night I dreamt of salad and had one for lunch the next day. The cramping is gone again. I called Dr. B's office and they will call it in so I have it if I need it while I'm gone. I'll pick it up tomorrow before we leave. Hoping I won't need it :) DH was a little worried that I was going skiing if I didn't know I was PG. I figured it shouldn't be a big deal because even if I was it's so early. 

Amber- Oh, no...they had to draw from your feet? That's usually a last resort. Glad you have the PICC line and being managed to make things better for both you and baby. The reglan pump sounds like a great thing to have for how sick you've been. Especially when it's extra important for you to get the right nutrients.

Simone- Way to go to get out and get moving. Shoveling snow isn't all that fun. 

AFM- Got a lot accomplished today and still have some stuff tpo do tonight to get ready for leaving tomorrow. KMFC I will have good news to share soon. Time will tell. 

Brie - I am so happy that you found a good solution!  That's great that your teacher pulled you aside to compliment you. :)  It's always good to forget that you did an assignment, instead of forgetting to do it.

Tara - True, people need to do more research, no matter what they decide to do.  Maybe there is someone who is qualified that can help you, with less interventions.  But, I guess as long as you get that BFP, it doesn't matter how you got there, right?  My knee got better after 2 days of arnica gel, thank G-d.  How are you feeling?  Sorry the Superbowl was so disappointing for you. :(  I hope AF stays away from you!  Hehe, you're worried about your temps going down, I've been worrying about them going up.  If I O before CD13, there's no chance we'll catch it.  Nausea is a good sign. :)  Have fun on your trip!  KMFC!

Christine - Things settled down, now we're just worried about Syria.  Thanks for asking. :)  I hope this month will be less stressful than the previous few.  Yay, less morning sickness and no Zofran!  And, your cold is getting better.  That is great news - you have been fighting this cold way too long.  Don't worry right now - you have a while to go before your baby arrives, and I'm sure you'll make it work. 

Simone - Thanks for starting the new month!  I am glad that Ethan is safe!  I'm glad the cardiologist let you reschedule so easily.  Hopefully you will get another BFP, and maybe you will have twins again.  :)  Do you want boy/girl, or one gender only?

Isra- Totally. That's good your knee got better quickly. I'm glad. Not feeling very optimistic at this point woke up really crampy for a while and now they seem to be gone. My low back was aching, too. Not such a great sign. Well, if your temps are dropping now then maybe you will O soon? That would be good! Yeah, the Superbowl was dissapointing, but maybe next year :) DH was very sad since it is his favorite team. 

AFM- Leaving this afternoon. I'm excited to get away. I'll see if I can post while I'm gone. They may be short blurbs since I am only bringing my tablet. Woke up crampy and low back pain. Not a great start. I thought I saw spotting last night, but I might have been wrong. 

Isra- What CD are you today? Thanks. I hope I am wrong, too. I feel a mixture of cramps and upset stomach.
