Re: ~~3rd Trimester Check-in!!! Come on in!!~~
Hello Everyone!
so thrilled to be joining the 3rd Trimester! Not much going on with me (which is good) - trying to have a boring pregnancy.

Baby Girl born August 5th. Thank you G-d for our precious miracle.
AMA. PAIF & SAIF always welcome - I need all the prayers I can get!
Welcome on over PrettyAccountant! Thanks for taking over the check in!
I've still been feeling really good! I am surprised at how well I've handled this pregnancy. I really thought I'd be an unhappy pregnant person! Not that I'm not grateful to be pregnant, like everyone else, but I just didn't think I'd handle pregnancy well. LOL
I'm just starting to get a little uncomfortable with LO pushing up on the ribs and everything else, making the acid reflux worse at times. Definitely looking forward to him dropping a bit soon - I hope!
QOTW - We really didn't plan anything for the summer this year. We usually do some sort of week vacation to the shore or something but not this year. I think the first thing we really have planned is a car show we go to in Wildwood, NJ every September. We're really looking forward to taking the little guy with us to that!
Can't wait to hear everyone else's update!
Tried to conceive on our own for a year before moving on to fertility treatments. Dx unexplained. About 10 months of procedures, shots, and countless doctor appointments, we got our BFP! BFN on 5 IUI's
IVF#1 - ER 09/14/12, ET 09/17/12: two 8 cells, BFP: 9/28 Beta#1 56.8; 10/2 Beta#2 284; 10/5 Beta#3 939; 10/9 Beta #4 4967. One baby on board with EDD 06/07/13!
We had our check-up yesterday and everything looked great. Baby was kicking the doppler away from my stomach, so it took a few minutes (and lots of laughs) to get a heartbeat check. I failed the 1 hour glucose test by 4 points, so I have the 3 hour scheduled for Friday!
QOTW: We haven't planned much beyond our showers, which start this weekend. We'll be in Pittsburgh for a shower with my husband's family next week and that's really the only trip we have planned!
Six months of Metformin=BFN, Six rounds of Clomid=BFN
October 2012: Follistim, Ovidrel and 1500MG Metformin = BFP!
11/20/2012: Beta #1- 176! 11/23/2012: Beta #2- 738!
Update: Everything's going well over here. Modified bed rest has been treating me well considering that my hands and feet are swollen beyond recognition! I had an internal exam yesterday and was 3cm dilated and 100% effaced. My doctor doesn't think I'll make it to June 1st let alone June 9th! He also sent my urine out for further testing for protein yesterday so I should hear back today if there is any. If there is, I could be looking at an induction this week! If not, because of all the preeclampsia signs, he'll induce me on June 3rd! Crazy!
QOTQ: No huge summer plans for us. We usually travel around the country seeing concerts from our favorite band ( take a guess.. ) but this summer we are laying low enjoying our little guy we spent so long trying to meet!
QOTW: we have two weddings, family reunion, graduations, and a concert. I would love to do something relaxing but not this year.

No interesting updates. GD staying well under control, NST tests boring but looking good. Lots of BH, no signs labor is imminent. We have another u/s Friday.
QOTW- no summer plans yet. I'd like to go to the beach, but going to play it by ear. Mostly I just want to eat dinner and have a fruity cocktail at a restaurant with outside dining. And dessert. Right now, dessert is the only summer plan I need!

Thanks for taking over, Pretty Accountant! Glad you're joining us.
Updates: I'm 34w6d and time is just flying. Plenty of BH, dealing with the usual 3rd tri stuff (heartburn, shortness of breath, hemorrhoids) and a very annoying rash (think it's a heat rash) on my belly. We have our family shower on Saturday, and I'm excited for that. We also have a friend shower next weekend, so maybe once that is done, we can finish up our shopping and start feeling more ready.
QOTW: No real plans for the summer except adjusting to having a baby. We will do a day trip up to Maine to visit family and introduce Charlotte to everyone, but aside from that we're going to lay low this year.

I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes this past week, so that has been an adjustment to eating whatever I wanted to cutting out all sugar. I go next week to get my meter and meet with a dietician. I am hoping that I can keep the baby and myself healthy for the next 3 months so we can go full term. I am also nervous about having an automatic C-section due to the GD making the baby gain more weight. Otherwise I am still feeling really good and enjoying being pregnant.
Our baby furniture came in, we will be picking it up this weekend, I cannot wait to see her room all set up J!
QOTW: Summer plans: Birth Class is 6/8, Baby shower is 6/15, and Diaper party is 7/6. I am currently working full time so other than the weekends which are filling up there is not much down time. We are hoping to squeeze in a relaxing weekend at Cooks Forest after the baby shower, fingers crossed I avoid bed rest?

I am really late but figured I'd update anyways..
No real updates. I had my 37w appointment earlier this week. New real news, other than I am now measuring a week behind when I've always been right on. I go back next Tuesday and I'll have my first internal then. Although I have been having some pretty intense BH with lower back pain. I am keeping an eye on them though.
QOTW: This summer will just be adjusting to our new life with our little girl. We may try to head out camping for a day or so just to introduce her to everyone, but we basically just plan to lay low and enjoy our daughter!

Hi Ladies! Can I please join the 3rd tri check in? We are expecting boy/girl twins this summer.
Update: I had my 28 week appointment last Monday and they "forgot" to check on my placenta previa even though I reminded the tech! She said it didn't matter anyway cause there was nothing they could do about it and they will just check me next time at 32 weeks. DH and I were frustrated to say the least. We asked for a referral to an MFM finally. I'm going to see them in a week and I'm so excited for the second opinion. Other than that, I failed the 1 hour glucose test and did the 3 hour test yesterday. I am waiting to hear on how that went. I need to increase my iron supplements to twice a day as well. I had my baby shower this past weekend and it was wonderful! So many friends/family came from near and far. We started putting together the nursery and it is becoming more real each day!
QOTW: No big summer plans except to get ready for the babies and then cuddle when they arrive!
Me: 31 | DH: 31
