Whether it has an innie or outie, may the baby be wonderful and beautiful and make you cry happy happy tears. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

I’m really pleased for you and hope you enjoy the news tomorrow. I’m actually really interested in the emotional impact of all this for my own selfish reasons too – we haven’t actually decided for sure to go the donor egg (and are still waiting on my sister anyway)…and I really have a concern that I won’t be able to connect with the baby. So I’m thrilled to hear about your frightening crying.

It’s not hormones. When H snores, I completely forget what a sweet, good-natured, mellow chap he is and how he makes me tea every morning, and can only think about suffocating him with a pillow. When it’s really bad, I kick him awake and nag him into sleeping in the spare room. If he protests, I pull the ‘I get MIGRAINES when sleep deprived card!’, and so, I tend to win, heh heh.

Not having Hep B is excellent. Feeling the baby move is beyond excellent. The heart-burn, not excellent, but I get the same worse-with-water, suppressed-by-proper-food thing. I think it’s because stomach acid floats to the top of water and gets pushed to the bottom of the solid food.

You know, I was in some maternity pants until, well, until I started WW this past April…glad that you discovered the joys of being comfy!

And yay neg Hep B, and double yay that your scan is coming up!!

Very cool that you are feeling the baby move. It starts like soda bubbles or gas-like movement/pops, and then moves on to flutters, then rolls, then all out rockette movement! And you are right at the time where you would definitely be feeling it.

Not so cool about the heartburn, and I can sympathize. I was on zantac 2x a day for almost my whole pregnancy – it really helps if you want to talk with your dr about switching – that is if you want to go back to those pesky calcium pills.

Snoring – my remedy is to pinch, punch and kick his side until he turns over. Or ask – it depends on how pissed I am that I’m not sleeping and he’s at the decibel level of a small chain saw.

So glad that the HepB came back negative. Also glad that maternity pants are comfortable – I wouldn’t have thought of that. And how does one get through the night with a snoring partner? Well, I have recently discovered soft squishy ear plugs.

So I am a complete and utter wuss. I’ve seen 2 horror movies in my life – Nightmare on Elm Street back in 1986 and The Ring. And I had literally MONTHS if creeped out, freak out can’t sleep problems. I love the demon stuff, but not the horror stuff (like Constantine is ok but Steven King stuff isn’t).

So you can count on the fact that I’m not laughing when you tell me you dove into bed!! I’ll never be seeing that movie!

When do you expect to hear on the Hep B do over?

I hate the jerky camera stuff. Oh, my stomach and head can’t take that. Thx for the review.

I love Stephen King! I have an entire bookcase of hardback SK books. Been reading him since… waaaaaaay long ago.

I’m going to bet it’s a false positive.

And so glad things are boring. Boring is good in my opinion!

I had a false positive just before we went out to the Czech Republic for our cycle. I repeated it and it was fine. Hoping you are in exactly the same boat!

Glad things are going well with the baby. I suppose we’re about 6 weeks apart?

Unbelievable. I can’t imagine how it would be other than a false positive. I’ll be very anxious to hear the results.

Glad to hear that OTHERWISE things are progressing unevenfully. I am excited for you to find out the sex next month!
