My nurse finally called back towards the end of the day yesterday - and she reminded me that I should have expected spotting after the u/s. I had kind of thought that was what was going on - but at the same time I was freaking out. I felt better after talking to her, but also much better now that it's stopped!
I hate that my first thought is that something is going wrong. In general, I'm a very happy, upbeat person. But with all the IF crap - I've become very protective of my sanity. I'm really not ready to be 100% excited about being pregnant... and I think I'm going to stay that way until I see the little heart beating away. And having been sick for the past week (I still don't have my voice back!) isn't really helping. I can't tell if different things that I am feeling are because I'm pregnant, or because I'm sick. Augh! Just get better already!
Today is my last day at work, and then I'm off for a week's vacation. I'm going to Orcas Island, and staying at the Rosario Resort. It is a beautiful place, and as an added benefit - pretty much totally off the grid. Barely any cell phone reception at all. I won't be bringing a laptop. Just spending the week with some women who also like to knit - and taking a few knitting classes. We are also going on a whale watch, and I'm sure I'll find some time to sneak in a spa treatment or two. Aaron is staying home - and that is the one part that sucks. I really like to be close to him, and now more than normal. He is the calming force in my life! But I'll be surrounded by some good friends - so I'm sure I'll be fine.
But - you all won't hear from me for a while! I should be back on line next Sunday, and then I'm going to start obsessing on my next u/s which is Tuesday, the 21st!

Enjoy your time on Orcas. It is incredibly beautiful up there!!!
Whew. What a relief. It is so hard to be dogged by dread and fear at every turn. One of my friends said that IF robbed her of her innocence. I feel like that sometimes. My cousin is a year younger than me and had an easy time getting (and staying) pregnant. She had a home birth, and I really wish that I could be optimistic enough to do that as well, but when (and if) I get pregnant I want to be somewhere where they can cut me open if necsseary. I think if I'd gotten pregnant like she did, hadn't been robbed of my innocence, then it wouldn't seem like a risk. So have a wonderful time in the Orcas, relaxing has to be good for the baby, right?
Have a great trip
Have fun at Rosario - it's a gorgeous place. They are a former client of mine from a few years ago...I never made it up there, but my boss did and he said he had to fly a sea plane into the island...cool.
Enjoy the vacation!
SOmetimes it's nice to have what you already think is true to be confirmed by somebody else- so glad the spotting has stopped.

I'm glad the spotting stopped. I've been spotting off and on as well, and spotted after my U/S.
