I got in--that is a very cool calculator! I like her research as well; very
interesting to see that twins aren't indicated by fast doubling, like I'd
always heard, but by higher absolute numbers to begin with.

Well, I'm just thrilled to have such good numbers--I'm planning on asking
for an early ultrasound (mostly for due date purposes, since I ovulated late
and I don't want anyone calculating by LMP and threatening to induce me) so
I will keep the group updated.

Well, my first midwife appt (at the birth center in Baltimore, for those who
remember that whole thread) is Monday, and I'll request one at that visit.
I'm hoping to actually schedule it somewhere around 7-8 weeks; it'll be late
enough to definitely see the heartbeat but early enough that the dating will
be very accurate.

Thanks for the congrats--this is the first day that I have felt like CRAP
all day, no lessening of the nausea when I eat (which had been working up
till now). It sucks, of course, but it's a good predictor for the pregnancy
and right now I'm sort of treasuring every gaggy feeling. Haven't actually
thrown up yet, but I don't think it'll be very many more days...

Yippee, congrats Joanna :-)

Sorry I don't know anything about numbers as I've never had
them done, but it sounds like everything doubling and
bubbling as it should :-)

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

I just popped in to read a thread someone pointed me to, and saw this.
Congratulations, Joanna! I didn't know you were expecting again, and as it
is obviously such good news, and obviously such a lucky baby (to have you
for a mom, of course!) I couldn't pass up the opportunity to offer my
congratulations. :)

Yay! Joanna! I was thinking about you today. So glad you got good news.

Hello! Glad to see that you are well :-). Yes, we FINALLY seem to have
gotten #3, after three and a half years of secondary infertility. I never
thought I'd be this happy about being incredibly nauseous.
