My name is Candice and my husband is Vin (as of 6/20/08). We live just outside of Boston with my/our 9 year-old son, Trevor. We got pregnant on our first try last October, which was surprising to us both, but resulted in a miscarriage in December. I had a D&C on December 27th. We waited one cycle to start trying again and we finally got our BFP on August 19, the day before our 2 month wedding anniversary. We are very happy and scared, but mostly happy right now. I hope this one sticks for us!

I had that last time for a month and a half. My nose wouldnt stop running and it was just nasty. I dont have it this time, my boobs just hurt really bad and I have NASTY heartburn.

no, no, no! Its not like you are getting out of shape, you are growing a baby!
At 8 weeks, the pants situation is just that your digestive system has slowed down and the "bulk" and resulting additional gas are filling up your abdomen. Gross, but true!
I hope you keep up on your walking, its the perfect exercise for you guys.
I am on bedrest for placenta previa. I have had four bleeds (most of them were incredibly minor but as time goes by, there is more concern.)It is not as bad as you might think. Maybe I am lazy at heart? :) I used to be a full-time worker, moderate jogger and have a pretty active social life; but I have accepted the changes one by one and I only have about 3 more weeks until they do a c-section.
About complaining - you SHOULD complain! Do it on this site and you will find a lot of sympathetic ears. Its better then complaining to friends and family who are not familiar with all the pregnancy gripes. Its really been a great network!

Thank you so much, I'm such a worry wart. I always thought, whenever I'm ready - it'll just happen. I never imagined that I would have to figure out my ovulation dates inorder to get pregnant. I told him a few minutes ago that if my AF comes on 10/1, I'm going to the doctor to get checked.

I can't wait, either. I am anxious to see how big the baby is. I keep feeling him/her kicking and moving around. That's really wild and it makes me giggle. We are having a garage sale this weekend, so we will be super busy, I am sure. We do have a Thai food dinner planned for Saturday night, though. We're going to pick it up and bring it home while we watch DVDs. Got any plans for the weekend? School? Catching up on some much needed rest? Hangin' with the boys?

you are so good! i had hoped to be a fit pregnant lady but i am on bedrest! oh well...
i think you will feel a lot better in about a month, until then, sleep in and take it easy. :)

I hope you find it as handy as I did! I loved wearing my same comfy jeans with a little extra room in the belly. How are you feeling?

Poor honey. I know this is a rough time with the fatigue, nausea, food cravings and aversions, and not being able to sleep well at night. I hope all of those early preggie symptoms start to wane for you soon. Auggie hasn't said much about my new girlfriends, but I think he feels sorry for me when I complain about how painful they are. Still, even though they are super uncomfortable, they remind me that I am still preggie and my body is doing what it is supposed to in order to prepare for my baby. I have been very emotional lately about being pregnant. I am going through a phase where my body is feeling pretty good and is allowing me to focus on the emotional connection between me and baby. I am sure you understand. It's quite a ride.

Yes, my nickname is totally appropriate. LOL. I'm doing fine. We are having a garage sale this weekend to get rid of "our stuff" to make room for "baby stuff." I think we are going to repaint the baby's room in the beginning of October. After that, I'm gonna buy me some baby stuff! Other than that, not much to report on my end. I am anxiously awaiting my next scan on Tuesday. Can't get here soon enough. How about you? How are you feeling these days? 8 weeks already!!!!

How was your experience with Vitex? Did you still have your af? I started to take mine two days before I thought af was due and now I am 5 days past due with BFN's....???? Did you get any side effects from it?

Get a bella band. You can unbutton (and even unzip) your pants and the band holds them up. Be comfortable above all else. :)

It's so cute I can't stand it! :)

Oh, yay, a closer doc sounds so much better. Hope you had a great first visit. Can't wait to hear about it.

Me! Me! I want to be coddled!

Hi Candice, I do have an appt with my Dr. for this Friday (TWO days!) and they are going to do an u/s. I am excited and scared. I know none of this is in my control, and I just really want to see that heart flikering!!! Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!

we have 2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 lovebirds :D it's completely manageable- and i LOVE sitting at lunch/dinner and listening to my two lovies greet my husband and i :D

yah... goodness only knows what is going to happen when we seperate from the military and go back to california. we have it pretty easy right now, but im guessing things will be interesting for a little while! fortunately, chris is enrolled with the VA, and can apply for a no interest loan... we're hoping to buy a house asap. its the only way to go for us, with all the animals.

and im doing a DAMN good job of ignoring being pregnant! i mean, im not drinking vodka and falling down stairs, but ive managed to not be so obsessed this time :D (SO FAR...) so hopefully time wont stand as still as it usually does....

ps. the baby is going to be sharing his room with the cats, and a good air purifyer.

WOW! I haven't looked at everyones pages for awhile and I see you have a BFP!!!!! This is great news I am so happy for you. Its so scary at first I completely understand and having that first ultrasound is the most frightening thing but it will get better as the weeks go on... I am really really pleased for you and your family, take care of yourself, best wishes Anna
