If she says yes, we will be moving March 1st.... that's a month and a half before baby is due. Yikes! But I'd rather move before than after.

That's great! It's a really cute house - from that pic anyways! I hope it all works out for you, and somehow you're able to move in a little before March. Although I guess much before that and it'll still be our bitter cold. But you're totally right - would much rather be moved in and settled (somewhat) before baby comes rather than after!

That's a bit warm, lol. But I'd prefer it to this. BRR!

You'll get there.

I hope everything is okay! 4 weeks is a long time to wait; maybe you will feel baby before then!

This far along I am sure the doc would have insisted on an US or a sooner appt if he thought possible miscarry. I know its still hard not to worry. I will be praying for you and baby!

I like it! So glad they accepted the offer!

My calendar popped up just now and said, "12 weeks! Stop progesterone!" I am both happy and terrified to stop the progesterone.

So who celebrates Halloween? I remember a few of us talked about Halloween costumes, but what are all the kids dressing up as?

More Mama. You've been on my mind constantly since I read your post.

to both. I'm kinda as to why the Dr wouldn't have put a req in for an urgent u/s, just to check everything out.

I've never been on progesterone myself, but I know lots of mamas get to the stopping point and it's a scary point to reach! I've heard many that don't just stop "cold turkey", but will decrease it slowly over the next few weeks - some on the advice of their Drs, some just because they felt safer weaning off it.

We do Halloween. It works out really well in our small town - we have one side of town (where we live) that we all go around to, get lots of candy, then the other side of town (across the old train tracks) the older 2 can go around to while we take the younger 2 home - they're totally pooped after this side!
Not much ideas about costumes yet. The boys want something gross or scary - I don't like that, so we'll be figuring something else out for them! DD wants Medusa or something like that. Levi will either be Pablo (backyardigans), a pumpkin, or a bunny - we have all 3 costumes here from the other kids, just gonna let him pick which he'll wear, he's not big on dressing up.
There's a halloween store set up in town for the month, the kids have been begging to go for a couple weeks now, so we'll go in there and see what we can find.

Thank you everyone so much for the hugs, support, and thoughts.

I feel positive that everything is going to be ok. I am going to change my appt to the place where they do u/s. I have a positive dh and will take each day as it comes. Not feeling any other issues just still m/s.
