Re: ~*PGAL Check-In*~
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Coming down with a cold. Physically and emotionally, I feel like I am in a good place this week.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I saw my OB on Monday and then had a NST on Tuesday. I have a few more NSTs this week & next.
What else is going on? Apples and Onions?
Apple: I put my notice in for Maternity Leave.
Onions: These last 6 weeks before my leave starts is not going to go fast enough
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? I dont usually give up anything for Lent. If I was to give something up, it would be chocolate (like thats going to happen in my 3rd trimester!)
BFP #1 - 3/23/13 // EDD - 11/27/13 // M/MC - 5/3/13 // D&C - 5/4/13
BFP #2 - 8/26/13 // EDD - 5/10/14 // Born 5/18/14
How are you feeling? overall okay, pelvis is a little sore after spending a lot of time sitting yesterday
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? had my weekly MW appointment. my blood sugars have been good so they are letting me return in 2 weeks! plus I only have to test my b/s 3 days a week if the numbers stay good. I'm going to keep doing my fasting #s since those are the ones that gave me trouble with DD and if I feel like I'm being too generous with my food choices then I'll go back to 4x day. I'd rather stick myself extra now and hopefully be able to avoid meds or induction if possible. I also feel silly for complaining about having to go in today, they might have picked up early on a UTI and are sending it out for analysis. I would be so happy to be a step ahead rather then behind on that. I don't need any extra discomfort down below :-)
What else is going on? Apples and Onions?
apples: started a new yoga class. really liked it more then the other one I've been taking. I also had a prenatal massage on Saturday and it was so relaxing.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? I don't practice Lent and have no clue what I'd give up if I did.

Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? n/a
What else is going on? Apples and Onions? I had to buy new bras last week. I hate that I had to buy some that will likely only fit for a few months until milk comes in but they are so much more comfortable it was worth it.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? I don't practice but I'd probably give up Starbucks if I had to.
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Okay- stupid cold is hanging on, but tolerable.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Just had the glucose test today - bleh. Keeping my fingers crossed that I passed the 1 hr.
What else is going on? Apples and Onions? Apples: Glad to have a normal schedule back now that DD's school play and science fair are done. Onions: I feel really off post glucose test. My fingers are swollen and my stomach feels very unsettled. Really hoping this feeling goes away.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? Giving up swearing/ cursing. My language has been bad lately.

What else is going on? Apples and Onions?
Apples: Clam Chowder...my new love.
Onions: I'm quickly losing my patience with employees and May can't come quick enough!
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? haven't been a practicing Catholic in years but I would like to try and give up fast food, only if I could wait until after the pregnancy is over
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) I'm so exhausted, not sleeping very well at night. I've also started to get this feeling of pressure on my pubic bone, almost as if it's separating from my hip bone...hard to describe. It comes and goes but I plan to ask my doctor about it next week. Emotionally I'm getting really nervous for my c-section and all of the things I need to get done between now and then.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week?No appointments this week!
What else is going on? Apples and Onions?Apples: I am really looking forward to my 90 minute prenatal massage this Saturday. I'm going after my yoga class so it's going to feel extra good. No onions this week!
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? I rarely give anything up for lent and I'm already giving up alcohol for the pregnancy...so let's double dip here. I'm giving up alcohol. : )

How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Physically having a good day. Emotionally, kinda confused/scared. Workman's comp and my Dr office explained some stuff to me that makes me slightly upset/nervous.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Nothing going on this week except I'm definitely in 3rd trimester now! (Since some people go by 27 weeks and some by 28, no questions about it now!)
What else is going on? Apples and Onions? Apples: got my car inspected today... for FREE! Thanks NJ state (didn't know they do them for free if you go to the dmv to inspect it) Onions: To further elaborate, unless I go to the ER for severe pain in my back I'll no longer be seen for my herniated disk while I'm pregnant since they can't do anything else besides physical therapy, and apparently they can't just keep going indefinitely with that. I feel like the PT is keeping me from getting worse quicker, but guess I gotta go with what they say. So unless my OB give me meds she allows, nothing else for my back until after baby comes. Scared/nervous to see how bad this is gonna get before then.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? Haven't really given up for Lent since I dated a guy years ago who was catholic. Uhh if I had to this year... junk food. But I don't know how well that would go over during 3rd trimester! haha
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Feeling good physically but I am feeling overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I went to the dr yesterday but it was just a regular visit.
What else is going on? Apples and Onions? Going to see Wicked tonight with my mom so very excited.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? I don't give up anything but if I had to, I would give up sweets or pop.

How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally)
Physically-my hips and pelvic area hate me! And my lower back is killing me especially the right side. Just walking sucks
Emotionally-excited and scared about how close birth is getting but so much is left to do!
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week?
Not til next week
What else is going on? Apples and Onions?
Apples-finally got rid of sprint and tmobile seems to work good enough where we live. Got a pig and a new goat over the weekend.
Onions- switched from an iPhone to an android and it is just pissing me off how inferior and harder to use it is. Since DH side of family couldn't make the shower mil wants to have one mid April just 3 weeks shy of my due date. She lives almost 2hrs away and riding in a truck is already painfully uncomfortable now let alone in over a month and if I go into labor while we are there that will be the worse ride back to the area ever!!
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to?
Nothing
I do usually give up something for Lent, in the past I have done chocolate, caffeine, soda or sweet tea, etc. I practically already gave up caffeine...so....that is about all I can handle at the moment. No way could I give up my chocolate.

How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Physically I feel tired this week. My class had a huge fundraiser this week and it resulted in a very long work day for me yesterday. I definitely can't keep up with my normal busy schedule.
Emotionally I feel good. Lots of movement! And I got to meet my BFFs newborn last week and hold her when she was a day old. Made me really excited!
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I had to go get a strep culture yesterday because the girl I shared a room with at the bachelorette party last weekend had strep and I hadn't been feeling week. Still waiting for the results.
What else is going on? Apples and Onions?
Apples- my class made $2000 at our fundraiser!
Onions- I'm just tired this week.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Or if you don't practice, what would you try to give up if you had to? I don't practice. I would probably try to give up junk or wine, but that would last 3 seconds.
How many weeks? 29
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) No big complaints. I'm learning that I have to eat very small meals or else I feel like I don't have room to breathe.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I learned on Friday that I passed my 3 hour GTT. That was a big relief. No additional appointments for 2 weeks.
What else is going on? Apples and Onions? Apples. I slept 10 & 1/2 hours last night. It was glorious! Onions: Nothing I can think of at the moment.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? I don't practice and I've given up caffeine and wine already.
1st BFP-8/17/12! Missed Miscarriage discovered @ 8 week US. D&C.
2nd BFP-2/13/13! Blighted Ovum discovered @ 8 week US. Natural miscarriage.
3rd BFP-5/22/13! By early June, progesterone plummeting. Another loss.
August 2013 - started Donor Egg process, but surprise BFP with my own eggs.
Dear Son born 5/28/14
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Feels like a snake is constantly crawling around in there. Tired and huge and kind of in denial about how much different things will be at home soon.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Had a regular appointment today and measuring about a week behind, but everything seems to be good. I'm going from every 4 week appts to 3 weeks until my next one, and then every 2 weeks after that.
What else is going on? Apples and Onions? Apples. I had Monday and Tuesday off due to the weather, so it is already Thursday and close to being the weekend! Onions: Due to the weather, my OB office decided to reschedule all the Monday and Tuesday people to this morning and I sat in the waiting room for literally 2 hours. It was ridiculous.
GTKY: What (if anything) are you giving up for Lent? Giving up sake (I've been having a few sips every couple of weeks lately) and DH and I are both giving up coffee creamer.
