Re: ~*~*~*PgAL Check-In*~*~*~
Gestation in weeks/fruit: 18w Sweet Potato!!!
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? I'm feeling good!! I'm starting to show which is so much fun and feeling her move is the most exciting part. I can't wait for the kicks to be strong and consistent. I opted for 4 weeks between my last appointment and my one this week and the last week has been hard. I've had a lot of doubts and my panicky moments. So I'm getting anxious for tomorrow.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: My anatomy scan is tomorrow!!!! And then right after is another OB check-up. Friday will be 1 year from my emergency D&C and then end of my last pregnancy and that has been in the front of my mind this week :-/
Vent/bitch/complain/excitement: A local furniture store is going out of business so we bought the two bureaus for the nursery and I'm getting excited to paint them. I'm thinking this color:
With glass nobs & this idea for a set up:
I'm so excited :-D
GTKY -- Today is National Hot Mulled Cider Day and yesterday was National Coffee Day. What are your favorite warm drinks for the fall & winter?! I love home made hot cider. I'm pretty sure it's not pasteurized so I can't drink it now. I also love pumpkin coffee and hot chocolate.Furniture ideas are cute @jap618
Gestation in weeks/fruit: 14 weeks/lemon
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Okay. Physically my shoulder/neck pain is bad but I'm planning on starting up massage soon (I'm so worried about how big my boobs are going to get!) The girls from my loss group secretly sent our 'family' at home Doppler last week, so that helped since I had no appt.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: appt with the peri Thursday
Vent/bitch/complain/excitement: I'm just excited to still be going. Sometimes I feel sooo far behind being at the end of the month, but being in the teens weeks has me excited.
GTKY -- I'll probably be the odd one, but I'm not a hot drink drinker. Hate coffee, no to cider and don't really care for even hot chocolate.Well-behaved women rarely make history.

How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Physically I have HORRIBLE heartburn and got such a bad headache last week I was throwing up and came close to fainting this weekend due to heat or my bp dropping. I ate something with some sugar in it and felt better pretty quickly. Emotionally this is the week I had my loss so I just want to get through it and then I will be the most pregnant I have ever been.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: I have a cervical check tomorrow. The MFM said that since I am at 18w now we may be able to find out the sex. If the baby doesn't cooperate tomorrow my anatomy scan is scheduled for 10/15 and I go in weekly for my p17 shots.
Vent/bitch/complain/excitement: Excited to get through this week and find out the sex soon.
GTKY -- Today is National Hot Mulled Cider Day and yesterday was National Coffee Day. What are your favorite warm drinks for the fall & winter?!

Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: looking forward to hitting the 17 week (4 month) mark Saturday

I LOVE hot cider (especially spiked hot cider with cinnamon). I also really enjoy hot chocolate with a shot of marshmallow vodka.I feel bad! I haven't posted in quite a while! Sorry everyone!!!
Gestation in weeks/fruit: 17 weeks/Onion
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? Emotionally I'm doing really well, I'm really confident and feeling good. I can tell things are growing and stretching feeling sore off and on, seeing my belly getting bigger Just trying to get over this darn cold. Its only now a cough, but that's the worst... hard to sleep when hacking up a lung!
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: October 14th is our anatomy scan! We are so excited!
Vent/bitch/complain/excitement:I'm just really excited to be witnessing the changes happening to me and seeing my belly grow. I have a fetal heart doppler, so hearing the heart is so reassuring for me as well. Can't wait to see our little gummi bear in a couple of weeks
GTKY -- Today is National Hot Mulled Cider Day and yesterday was National Coffee Day. What are your favorite warm drinks for the fall & winter?! Hot Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks or Dutch Brothers and hot chocolate with little marshmallowsNov'12- Started TTC

Gestation in weeks/fruit: 15 weeks. No one posted before me so I don't know what the Bump thinks my fruit is. My other app says Avocado.
How are you feeling physically? Emotionally? This one is tough. I've been sick for two weeks and can't seem to shake whatever I have so I've been miserable. On top of that this pregnancy is so different from my son's that it's really throwing me off. I can feel that my uterus is getting larger, but I'm not. I don't have a stomach, I don't look pregnant, and since the morning sickness passed I don't feel pregnant other than I can't shake this stupid sickness. It's starting to make me worried so I'm happy I have an appointment on Thursday. Trying to stay positive and cheerful, but I'm just so tired and sick of not being able to breathe right. Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer.
Upcoming Appointments or Milestones: 16 weeks appointment on Thursday and I hope to schedule the a/s then.
Vent/bitch/complain/excitement: I was hoping to get my flu shot at this appointment, but since I'm still sick (F#&#$&#@$%!!!!) I won't be able to. I work with kids so it's so important for me to get it and I just feel like I'll catch something really bad before I get the chance. I should have insisted on an early shot at my first appointment. Lesson learned.
What are your favorite warm drinks for the fall & winter?! I drink a cup of black tea to warm up and get going every morning. I love black tea! Soon I'll start adding in some Red Raspberry Leaf tea and then I mix in lemon and agave. It's delicious!B born 7/15/13, C born 3/2/15, #3 on the way May '17
I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
