12.5

Heartbeat ok... but measuring small for dates by a few days. Might have grown appropriately from last week, though. Who knows. Not sanguine but almost too sick to care. Driving home was a nightmare, reminiscent of one too many debauched mornings with my head out the window.

Follow up ultrasound next week.

Thanks for checking on me.

Uhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Trish]

I'm going to say yay anyways :) I hope, hope, hope that NBHs :)

[WG]

Holding good thoughts for you. Have you tried the wristbands for morning sickness?

[JuliaKB]

Sick is good, right?
That's what I always tell myself.

Crossing fingers for next week...

[Kim]

So sorry you are this sick. It sounds like things maybe were okay. ? I hope you get some rest and some relief and feel better soon.

[gkk]

Yay from me too. Small for dates I can do if the hb is AOK. Sorry you're so sick - wish I had the magic bullet but unfortunately I'm right there with you...

[Mete]

Glad to hear it. Sort of. Still optimistic...

[Vix]

Is there a limit to the number of times that it's worthwhile saying variants on 'you are in my thoughts'? Anyway I am.

[Heather Ann]

As always I am rooting for you. So, we wait ans see...

[cursingmama]

Continuint to root for you - although I do wish the sickness didn't have to be quite so, ummm sicky.

[anne nahm]

Awww! Heartbeat! That makes me tear up a little. Yay!

[Cat, Galloping]

wish you'd gotten something a little more definitively encouraging. and that you weren't so sick.

[Reese]

Glad there was a heartbeat, sorry you're so sick. (Please stay.)

[Sandy]

I'm still rooting for you too! And you definitely sound pukey, bless your heart. Wish we could do something for you!

[Jennifer]

I'm certain that you are sick of ambiguous results and I'm certain that you sound just plain sick. I wish that I could help you.

[Colleen C]

Go baby grow!

[Mir]

*Tiptoeing up, leaving ginger ale and lemon bars on your doorstep, ringing the bell, and tiptoeing away*

[Hoping]

glad heartbeat was ok, and sorry you are so sick, thanks for updating us. grow baby grow!

[Karyn]

NBHHY, and I hope that you are feeling better soon.

[Terry]

Driving home was a nightmare, reminiscent of one too many debauched mornings with my head out the window.

I feel awful that you are this sick but love that you were able to deliver yet another classic one-liner.

Wishing you the best. . .

[Amy]

NBHHY, right?

Hang in there -- sorry to hear about the sickness, but at least its a healthy sign.

[FishyGirl]

Oh, still keeping my fingers crossed and my prayers agoing. Glad there was a good heartbeat. Good luck on the sickness.

[Leslie]

Yay heartbeat!! Blech pukeyness! Yay Julia for updating the cyber-group despite said pukeyness!

My girlfriend refers to morning sickness as pregnancy poisoning... if there was ever a good reason to be poisoned I guess this is it!

[Kelly]

Yay for a good heartbeat! FWIW, I was ohmygodsI'mdying sick with this one, and it's a much "healthier" pregnancy than the last one, so I am hoping yours is the same way and they're just off on their numbers somewhere.

[leslie]

Hoping you feel less rancid soon and that heartbeats and growth continue to reassure! Been thinking of you, hoping.....

[Chickenpig]

Grow baby Grow!!!!

I hope you feel better. I hear candied ginger helps, but I never had that particular pregnancy problem. (don't hate me:))

[mama without instructions]

feel better. get some rest. yay for progress.

[Lisa S (aka Stolidoli)]

Keep on pukin', my friend.

Thinking of you.

[patricia mccreary]

I don't know what to say really. A few days doesn't really mean much, right?

Good luck, we will all be thinking of you until next week, at which point everything could definitely, for sure, maybe, turn out to be all good. Egads, why does it always have to be so hard?

[Toni]

CALL UP FOR THE ZOFRAN....DO IT!!!!

(oh yeah, glad that everything continues to go well - even the morning sickness...positive...very positive).

[libby]

Hoping for you, Julia.

[Slim]

I was told that during the early days it's hard to get an accurate measurement. I'm going to focus on the heartbeat and feel hopeful until you make me stop.
Limeade popsicles, maybe?

[hydrogeek]

Crossing fingers...still! Also hope you get to feeling better, unless it is, in fact, a good sign, then I hope you keep puking your guts up. (And now I'm wondering if it's ok to hope that a stranger on the internet keeps puking?)

[e]

Crossing everything that this one turns into a keeper.

[Polichick]

Crossing my fingers for you that this one is healthy and everything progresses well.

[Laura K.]

heartbeat = good
sick = also good, but still sucky nonetheless.

And I'll also tell you somethikng so very similar to something I believe you told me about growth...it's so early and so small that any placement of the curseor could make a difference by days in terms of growth, and at this stage of the game it's still *okay* to have growth be off by a few days.

And there you go. Hope you find the magic cure to quell the nausea.

[Natalee]

Want me to come to MN to hold your hair and bring you cool washcloths while you're yakking?

I'd do it, you know...

[Just Linda]

Julia,

Are you old enough to remember that TV show that used to be on called One Day at a Time? It has Valerie Bertinelli and Mackenzie Phillips? Every time I read your updates, I think of that song, their theme song. I figure if it's going to be stuck in MY head, I should bring you all down with me and get it stuck in your heads. But I think it's a good theme song for your pregnancies... I am hopeful, one day at a time...

This is it. (This is it.)
Straight ahead and rest assured
You can’t be sure at all.

So while you’re here enjoy the view
Keep on doing what you do
So hold on tight we'll muddle through
One day at a time. (One day at a time.)

So up on your feet. (Up on your feet.)
Somewhere there’s music playing.
Don’t you worry none
We’ll just take it like it comes.

One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time, one day at a time.

[Sarah]

Fingers crossed. Good luck!

[Diane]

Sounds like wonderful news to me - the heartbeat, the puking.....

[Libby]

Still hoping for you...

[wealhtheow]

I'm thinking of you!

[Erica77777]

Hoping (and rooting) for good news. Grow, grow, grow!

[Noelle]

Pulling for you and lil' embryo. Sending out good cytogenetic vibes. Hang in there.

[JK]

Hoping for the absolute best. So sorry you're puking. You are truly amazing.

[jb]

ice cold reeds ginger ale - real ginger - tons of it. Just hoping for you.

[seramera]

Hanging in there with you...NBHHY!

[Georgia]

Okay, doesn't sound like bad news. I'm hopeful. Heartbeats are good. Measurements aren't exact.

[Amie]

Small cheers and congrats here! Sucks that you're sick but it's good at the same time!

[Heather]

Still holding onto good thoughts for you. I've been where you are a few times as well. The uncertainty drives you crazy.

[terri c]

Dear Julia--so sorry things are still indefinite and you are so sick... I wish your history were one where being sick was Always A Good Thing. Seems unfair that it is not. Every good wish to you and Steve and Patrick the wonderful child...
