Hey ladies- hope everyone who celebrates thanksgiving enjoyed!

I passed my 3 hr GTT !!!!!! Super happy about that. It was such a relief to hear those words.
I'll be 32 weeks on Sunday, YIKES. I can't believe I'm almost 8 months pregnant. I am extremely thankful to be PG. IVF has made me appreciate this whole experience much more. My next OB appt is Wednesday, then MFM Friday, then 4D U/S 12/14, then OB 12/18. Then every week OB appt.

Dh & I are finally getting on the ball, with the help of my mom, who is retired and very hyper, they will be painting the nursery Dec 15th. I will be organizing and doing inventory on LO's closet tomorrow while DH is at work. Crib set is being delivered Jan 8th . So I finally feel a little bit more at peace.

Yesterday we went to my moms for dinner. Everything was going really well. Until after dinner. LO decided she wanted to ball up in my ribs. I was in tears, the pain was so severe. I began to vomit. I couldn't stand up my back hurt. We decided to leave. So as were walking to the car, I vomited and I thought my water broke but I actually peed on myself. OMG it was just a mess.

When we got home, I showered and passed out. Today I'm feeling better but just feel pressure down below. I am so uncomfy and I think LO is too. The end is near but isn't coming fast enough.

Qotw: I haven't been reading and/or singing to my belly. Honestly, I've tried but it puts me to sleep. Lol. Every night when I lay down, I rub her and talk to her but that also results is some Zzzz.

Thank goodness for check-in. I need a place to vent! I'm 30 weeks today and woke up fuming angry at people in a dream. My hormones are going bonkers today...and I literally just went outside to yell at my neighbor's landscapers for leaf-blowing their leaves under and over our fence onto my yard that was meticulous from my landscaper's work two days ago! Both MH and I am frightened by how worked up I've gotten! I'm ready to bite their heads off! And, now I have to head out to a relative's house for post-turkey brunch in a few minutes. How am I gonna control these raging hormones?! QOTW: No, I felt weird when I tried reading to my bump a while ago and haven't tried it again. Bad mommy. ETA: I took a 3 hour GTT last Fri. and so far no phone call. I assume that means I passed.

Can I join? Due date 2/16 expecting a baby boy!! 28 weeks 5 days,feeling good. Thanksgiving was tough, felt pressure a d strange aches in strange places. Think I may have over did it, relaxing today and actually have a cervix check in an hour. Qotw: I try talking to him, a fee times I put my iPad speaker near my belly. But I do dance with him, I want this boy to have rhythm! Lol

Hello, 

I am 32 weeks. I have an ultrasound on the 19th and it all looked good. I am just getting tired and big and it hard to chase a 2 year old. Otherwise nothing new. 

I do talk and sign to my LO. I sign to my DD and I hope she hears it too. She always kicks when she hears her sister. I hope they are great friends. 

I wish everyone a great holiday season. I am so glad I shopped a lot last year and this year I had to get a few things and now I am done shopping. Just getting ready for Baby. My c section is Jan 16.

Hi everyone, I'm 32 w3d. I am going to the OB weekly now to keep an eye on early contractions. Repeat fetal fibronectin test was still positive which was a big disappointment. I was hoping it would be negative and my anxiety would go downs a bit... We had an u/s to check cervical length which is 2.6cm and OB said that was ok. Also got a weight estimate for LO at 3 lbs 11oz. Still on bed rest and have been doing a little better with it now that I'm getting in a routine and some craft projects going. 

 QOTW: yes I have read to LO though I sometimes feel kind of silly! DH and I have played music for her as well.

32 weeks yesterday and looking so very forward to the end! Not sure why, but this pg is totally kicking my butt! So very sore constantly and everything feels extremely tight, especially after I get up from a lying or sitting position.

Had a regular check-up on Tues and no real news. Still shooting for a scheduled C-section at 38 weeks, which would put her arrival around Jan 9th if I baby girl will cooperate and stay put that long. Another appointment at 35 weeks....will probably do another u/s at that point to see if by some miracle my pp has improved at all, but not counting on it.

 

QOTW: Not really one to read or talk to my tummy although I do have many quiet conversations with her in my head...because she can totally hear me thoughts right?!?

jezebel57

it would be nice if i updated myself and didn't just post the update lol.  pregnancy brain!!!! 

today i am 30 weeks 4 days.  i am literally counting down every second to 32 weeks because then i can deliver at my local hospital instead of going into philly an hour away.  i'm so close to 32 weeks but so nervous i won't make it!!!! 

my anxiety is continuing to skyrocket the closer i get to delivery.  nervous about the actual c section, epidural/spinal, bleeding, babies being ok, etc... i just ordered the mattresses for the cribs and a nursing pillow which is one of the last few purchases we need.  i still have to go out next week and buy some more sleepers in newborn/preemie size.  i'm going to also start organizing the multiple discount info from companies so as soon as they are born i can send all the stuff out to prove they exist.  

as far as appts, i have on OB appt. on Wednesday this week.  Just a regular checkup.  

QOTW:  i have wanted to do this, but started to sing to them and realized i don't know that many songs and felt ridiculous.  i may try reading this week.  i do play rockabye baby songs (pearl jam, journey, coldplay) on my iPhone and hold it up to my belly so does that count?   have you ladies heard about these cd's?  i love them!

31 weeks on Thanksgiving with my baby girl. (Time is FLYING to me). Feeling pretty good but just dealing with back aches and this super weird and sharp pain right under my right breast in my rib cage. Thankfully no nausea and vomiting. Of course I get tired and sleepy but really I don't have any complaints. Baby's room is ready to go, we just need to buy the stroller and car seat. I'm going to splurge and get the Bugaboo that I've wanted for years (thanks to a generous donation from my older brother, I don't feel so bad putting in the extra $$$ to get it). I play music to her. I like to play Christian music but we also play Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Iz everyday to her and she wiggles and dances. What a blessing and a surreal experience.

Hi Ladies!

I will be 31 weeks on Tuesday; I feel like time is flying right now. I have my next OB appointment on Friday- after the next appointment I start going every 2 weeks. I feel pretty well except I love sleeping on my side with my hands tucked under my head and they've started falling asleep on me!! Maybe a touch of carpel tunnel going on as they are stiff too. I had to take my wedding rings off this week (they almost didn't come off) because I noticed my hands were swelling slightly on top of everything......

My DH and I moved into our new home last Friday; we're so excited to have so much more space!! I just wish I could have helped more; luckily he's been great along with my parent's who live only 5 minutes away. Attached is a pic of us the day we closed on the house in Oct. Now to get LO's space settled; who knew it took so long to get nursery furniture!!

My shower is on December 14th which I'm really looking forward to!!

QOTW: I have been playing Pandora on my iPhone for the baby a little bit; nothing specific. I like the idea of trying lullabies!! 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!! Have a great week!!

Liz

Hi ladies!

38w5d here and feeling so ready! Everything is pretty much done. DH and I even got all of our Christmas decorating done this weekend. Tree is up and gifts are all wrapped under it. We have DH's family flying up for Christmas so I wanted to get everything done early just in case baby comes. Last day of work was last week. Now I have a feeling the anxiety will really set in since I don't have much else to focus on.

Q: I haven't read to the baby but have played music for him.

Anyone hear from xxladybassxx? Wonder how her and the twins are. I can only mobile bump so I'm not sure how to do PM on here.
