Re: Weekly Check In! (2/17)
May 29, 25 weeks, cauliflower I think.
2) Age at delivery? (optional)
37.
3) Any other children? Furbabies?
19-month-old daughter and two kitties.
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
I'm feeling pretty good, just really, really tired.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Had my regular OB appointment last week, man those are boring! I have a growth ultrasound a week from today due to GD. I'm loving feeling all the activity!
QOTW: Are you watching the Olympics? If so, what are your favorite events?
I love watching the Olympics! I think my favorites are the alpine skiing and the figure skating.
2) Age at delivery? 42
3) Any other children? 25 yo stepson Furbabies? 2 awesome boxers and a cat
4) How are you feeling? feeling great, no ms to speak of (knock on wood) New symptoms this week? no new symptoms, not as much bloat as the past couple of days probably because I stopped using a certain fiber supplement but I really have no symptoms except for the swollen boobs, the tiredness and the fact that I have not had my period since Dec 9th. The lack of symptoms worries me a little although I have had my first u/s, saw my baby and saw/heard the heartbeat - I read stories about mmc and it scares me to death having as few symptoms as I have. I believe in my heart that my little prune is growing just fine and there is nothing to worry about.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Genetic counselor appt and testing on Thursday...I'm a little nervous about this but DH will be on the phone with us during the appt so that helps me to feel a little better.
QOTW: Are you watching the Olympics? I try to but by the time it comes on I am ready for bed. If so, what are your favorite events?
2) Age at delivery? (optional) 41
3) Any other children? Furbabies? 1 dog
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? So tired today and yesterday. I hope this isn't a glimpse of how the third tri will be for me.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? I have my one hour GTT on Wednesday.
QOTW: Are you watching the Olympics? If so, what are your favorite events? I like the faster events. The skating/ice dancing is beautiful, but doesn't hold my interest.

15 weeks today...baby is about 5 inches from head to rump...
I just turned 38, so will be so when baby comes...
2 kids (18 & 16 yrs)
6 cockers...3 cockers living at home but we all get together with the other 3 on the weekends (mom, dad and 4 pups)...
Really tired this week but can't sleep. ... I slept well a couple nights ago until guess baby kicked so strong, I had a dream I got punched in the stomach and woke me up.
Headaches galore!
And still peeing an awful lot.
Had the 2nd part sequential screening on the 26th. .. the US on 3/12 to determine the sex.
I'm been feeling baby 'moving' for a few weeks now but last week, starting feeling the kicks.
Love My Baby
1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
4/3, 33 weeks, durian fruit
2) Age at delivery? (optional) 41
3) Any other children? Furbabies? 2 kitties and one dog
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
I am still not sleeping well and am clumsy on top of it! Dropping things a lot.
I am also so surprised by how strong the baby's movements are now...she is really trying to do some acrobatics in there with not much room left -- the strange bulges popping out on my belly all the time are crazy! DH just stares and says "That must feel so weird -- I am glad it is not me". lol
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Appointment on Friday which should be fairly routine. Baby shower is this Saturday!
QOTW: Are you watching the Olympics? If so, what are your favorite events?
I watch the Olympics every night! The ski events are my favorite.

Dear Son born 5/28/14
2) Age at delivery? (optional)
3) Any other children? Furbabies? 5 other kids, a dog and 4 hermit crabs
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? The only symptoms I have are a mutant sense of smell (lol), SERIOUS mood swings and bloating. I made chili this week and the bloating from it made me gain 3 pounds that day! ugh. I love chili too
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Next Thursday is my 8 week appt. My rant is my mood swings. I don't remember being this moody with the others. Maybe it's because this one wasn't planned and there is so much stress that is going along with it because of all the changes we have to make to accomodate this one? I am considering asking the Dr. if there's something I can take while pregnant for this. It's ridiculous. Any little thing makes me snap and yell at the kids, then I feel horrible and burst into tears. I absolutely hate it. Poor kids, they have no idea why mom is a whacko lately
QOTW: Are you watching the Olympics? If so, what are your favorite events? I've watched some of it but just bits and pieces. I like the snowboarding and figure skating.
