For those not hanging out on OS
Ted and I graduated from the baby dust thread. I didn't say anything until after I saw a heartbeat and got the thumbs up from the OB, because I just couldn't bear to post if something went wrong again...and I didn't want to jinx anything. Our risk of miscarriage is now around 5% and the risk of me going insane keeping quiet any longer was 900%.
I'm due 10/14, and I get to see my old OB. It does mean I have to deal with the systems of a community health organization (where the primary language is Spanish), but it's worth it. She gave me her cell phone number and told me to call her directly if I had any questions, problems, concerns or just needed to flip out. I love her, she's the best doctor ever and she makes me feel much more sane.
We still haven't told our families. For some reason I'm more nervous to tell them all this time than for Joey (Libby was, of course a nail bitter on the telling people...). I'm actually really nervous to tell people (and thus these lovely public announcements instead of IMs to those of you I talk to more regularly, so don't bother to be insulted, it's not personal) but I don't know why. I have more anxiety in general about things right now than I do normally.
