I'm still here too! I got an intern for the summer at work and last week was her first week so I've been crazy busy planning for and training her.
I sent out the Mother's Day cards with my 12 week ultrasounds and they arrived on time! My mom lives with my brother and SIL and my SIL was in on the whole thing so she even managed to get my mom opening the card on video. That was pretty fun to watch. It turned out that my SIL's sister (my sister in law in law? lol) is also pregnant and a couple of weeks farther along and announced at that same time. I didn't get to watch my MIL open her card but she said the whole neighborhood probably heard about it. My FIL was working in the yard and she said she went running and yelling out to him when she opened it.

Overall, I feel more connected with my MIL about it than my mom. My mom just wanted to lecture me about what I should and shouldn't be doing to get ready and I know she's excited and cares but it was getting on my nerves. She seemed more concerned about how much it would cost to come visit while I'm pregnant than she seemed when I told her about my miscarriages. I also didn't like that her main reason for visiting was to "see my big, fat belly" rather than to celebrate this new life and all the changes it brings. My MIL seems a lot more excited and texts me all the time to see how things are going and is happy just to hear about it and be involved. I've only talked to my mom once since Mother's Day. I'm a little bummed that I'm not feeling like bonding with my mom about it but our relationship has never been really close so I'm not that surprised. Maybe it will change and I want to be open to letting it change but deep-rooted feelings are difficult to budge. She has always been self centered and gave me body image issues as a kid and I feel like I've worked through and accepted much of it as an adult but she still makes me feel icky sometimes.
I also sent out announcement cards to my close friends and family that have been arriving over the last several days. It's a relief to spread the news but it's also making me more anxious that something will go wrong. I had a mini panic attack over the weekend because my 1st trimester symptoms are subsiding but I'm still not showing at all and I got myself all worked up that the baby had died or wasn't even there in the first place. Yeah, crazy much? I had my first appointment with my new low risk OB yesterday and I wasn't expecting an ultrasound but she gave me one! It made me feel so much better to see lil bub in there, happy as could be, totally oblivious to my anxiety. Unfortunately, I also was due for a pap smear and that has been making me bleed lightly for the last 12 hours, which is terrifying. I knew it could happen so I know it isn't a sign of a problem, but it's still unnerving.
Enough about me!
Nicky, looks like you're halfway into the TWW! About 9DPO? Do you feel good about this cycle?
And Danaa, you're 8DPO? How do you feel? How is everything going preparing for IVF? Do you know when that will happen yet?
Sparkle, are you around 7.5 weeks now? Did I count that right? How do you feel, mama? Lots of symptoms? Are your spirits up? An ultrasound on the books yet??
Anyone else still lingering?
I miss you guys!
