[quote=Anonymous]Pumpkin here.

Raspberry, not sure if I replied already or not to your post but if I did, but I just wanted to say your job sounds incredible. If I had my life to do over again, I would be doing something like this (I know it's not so easy as just deciding to do it). Thank you for sharing the inspiring stuff you do. I'm also glad that you got some peace and perspective about your own pregnancy. I think travel alone can offer that - but the things you see must really amplify that. My FIL is involved with a medical charity and each year we say we're going to do a trip with him (though neither DH nor I are doctors, there is lots we could do to set up, etc) and after this new baby gets here and we get ourselves sorted we're going to make that happen.

LJ, my blood is boiling on your behalf! Oh my goodness, people! So sorry you had to deal with all of that. Crazy! I know people can have an off day but this is just beyond the pale. Do you like your doctors a lot otherwise? Or were you saying you'd planned to switch? Funny you mention seeing different providers. I loved that about my first doctor, Dr. Desouza, that he was the only doctor I saw. I like wisdom so far and have only been to two appointments so I've only seen one midwife but that's kind of a worrying thing about rotating through more than one provider. I think once I meet all of the midwives I'll try to schedule with just one of them - especially toward the end. Also, woo-hoo, someone quoted me! I was the one who made the pumpkin patch allusion on another thread...it wasn't my original work though. I knicked it from a blogger and now can't find the source. I do try to credit him though, whoever he may be!

Poppy, thank you for starting the reservations thread! We definitely needed that boost.

Peanut, I'm glad you feel at peace with your testing and Turkey, wow, that sounds frightening. I know a lot of women obviously closer to my age, who do the CVS or amnio right off the bat and skip all of the screening stuff. At least you know for sure what you are dealing with! Now that's great peace of mind.

Sepi, I'm feeling movement but I'm behind the rest of you ladies and it's been sporadic and I definitely would not swear in a court of law I was 100 percent sure it was movement. I felt it at 16 weeks or so last time, I'm 16 weeks today so I hope it gets more obvious and consistent. It is such an amazing feeling, though! I'm the one who mentioned the yoga in Brookland. The session apparently began on Tuesday but I didn't make it as I didn't realize it started. She's going to extend the series by one day for anyone who did not make it to the first class. There is also a Sunday make up option if you are ever out of town, etc. Here is a link; the class is Tuesday nights at 6:30.  I haven't actually signed up but will be doing that tomorrow and plan to attend next Tues. Let me know if you think you'd go - and anyone else!

Critter, I told my sister and a close friend (who also got pregnant the same month) the morning I got my positive test, we told DH's parents and his sister later that week, the rest of my family at 14 weeks, a few very close friends in the later part of the first trimester, also my boss. Otherwise I didn't mention it. At about 15 weeks I had a biz trip with tons of my colleagues and my not drinking and the slight bump I had made it kind of obvious, so I told closer colleagues. we haven't made any facebook or more public announcements at all yet. Like many of you, sometime after 20 week u/s we'll probably come out of the closet more fully, though with the second it's harder to hide. Also, my son knows, so it's not like we can tell him not to talk about it! Then again, fortunately he is not on facebook. :) I'm private also and being older this time. I think I just want to get to the point where I'm feeling movement, we've seen baby at 20 week scan, and feel reasonably certain (and as un-anxious as I can ever be) about everything. Then we may put a little post on facebook, just because it almost feels weirder not to. But for whatever reason, I just want to be quieter about this one.

OKay I'm risking carpal tunnel syndrome. You know I write too much! But there were so many updates to respond to! Afraid of how long this will be. :/
