Mara!
I will have to go buy "My Boys Can Swim" for DH! It sounds hilarious!!!! It also sounds like one of those awesome books you read, enjoy and can pass on to other pregnant couples! Love it. We have one of those that is called "What is your poo telling you?" I bought it because it cracked me up and we passed it on to a friend of ours with a baby. So far, that book has made 10 rounds!
I am also taking your advice and appreciating my shape now before I get super huge!!!! Although, I can't wait to hit that stage, too! I just want to be huge or small. The in-between stage freaks me out a little. I don't know why!
Tacori!
Awww... THANKS!!! Yep, I think a couple of us will have long pregnancies because we found out so early. I kind of started hoping at 5DPO...with the twinges in my tummy. I hear you at wearing maternity pants! I already can't stand to wear anything constricting. I think it has more to do with how bloated I feel than how I look. Oh, and my boobs are FREAKISHLY big. I am actually embarrassed. The other day I was walking down the street and some truck driver honked at me because my boobs are so big and I felt like yelling, "HAVE SOME RESPECT! I'M CARRYING A BABY!" I can't wait until I'm a SUPA Granny! *smack*
Seriously, the boobs are so sore that I found myself tearing up yesterday when I had to take a shower. It hurt SO much to take my bra off! Is there a bra we can shower in? I have to buy new bras now. I'm like a D cup now. It's crazy... Let me see if I can find a picture of these crazy bazookas. I feel like a cow.

I am dying over the story you wrote in the Preggo thread!!!! I emailed DH about it! I can't wait until BlissBaby can kick! I'm gonna make it kick DH's booty ALL THE TIME! SOOOO CUTE!!!!!! OMG, so cute. I am dying over here from the cuteness factor.
The other day, I didn't feel any cramps so I said, "Baby, you still in there? Twinge for me if you are!" Total coincidence, I am sure...but I felt a MAJOR TWINGE! OUCH!!! Then I was like, "OMG, please don't twinge anymore!" And then it was, "OMG, can my baby hear me already?" No way... but still!
Freaked me out!
Your cookie is fabulous!!!!! I am cracking up over the fact that the cookie was dressed in undies when you found it! LOLOLOLOLOL. SO funny!!!!!!!!!

That is great news!!!!! I have an OBGYN appointment tomorrow, too!!!! She's supposed to be amazing and I'm so excited!!! I am sending you buckets of dust!!!!! You have to come back and tell us all about it!
Mara:
I know! I called a few OBGYNs and they are all so different. Some wouldn't see me until 7-9 weeks. Some wanted me to come in right away. It all depends, I guess! One thing I really took away from this experience is, the front office matters. I could tell the "vibe" of the place immediately by the front office - the office manager and whoever answered the phone.
If the front office members answering the phone were rude, condescending or abrupt - I crossed them off the list immediately. Not a happy place and not an office where they invest in caring, intelligent people. Of course I also go by referrals, but I pay keen attention to the front office. Of course, it's possible someone could be having a bad day... but in my experience, offices that are run well and by caring people invest in their staff, treat them like family and have a common mission of excellent care. It reflects in the actual service and I see it all the time, especially with dentists and other specialists!
Jas:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And thanks!!!!! Yes, we are so excited. We're calling MIL today and FIL tomorrow.
Wow, you are 8.5 weeks along? Amazing... I can't imagine being 8 weeks along! I am just praying to make it through the first trimester with no issues and maybe I'll feel better and not so scared afterwards. 8.5 weeks is wonderful. Oh, I just read that this is your second! How exciting!!!!! What a double blessing!!!! Yes, I am bloated. Mainly, I feel like my skin is too small for my insides. I need some expandable skin seams or something... you know, like they have those expandable zippers on luggage. I want to be like luggage. So I can expand. Now. LOL.
qtiekiki!!!!
Heehee, to going in at 5 weeks. Me, too. I need a flu shot! Like asap! Oh man, I don't have bad m/s yet. Darn! I would gladly go through insane m/s for a girl! LOL. I would also love a boy, but a girl would be extra special!!!! I just think it would be so great for me, my mom and DD to all meet. 3 generations of women. Would be so cool. But a boy would be awesome, too. Boys are so cute with their little duds!
And ha to the "meant to have lots of kids" comment. My mom has always told me I have childbearing hips so I'm destined to have tons of kids. If only! God willing, right? OK, not TONS of kids... but I'd love two.

We''ve got some ladies that are past 24 weeks posting in here too (you know who you are! hehehe) so I don''t think we''ve got a limit. Us just-barely-preggos will welcome any words of wisdom from those of you who have been there and done that!
