*******************************

SandSunBliss - Holy Smokes, you are almost holding that baby of yours.  Any progress on those few last minute things?

lv2011 - How are you holding up?  I keep checking to see if there is any news.  Are you feeling any more mentally ready?

Amores0121 – What prompted you to make the switch to a midwife?  Have you been able to get in with an appointment?

Kateitho - How have you been?

Third&goal - So glad that everything is going well for you.  How was your week?

JAW2 - How have you been lately?

LM915 - How was your week?

lindsayhilleary - How is the sciatica this week?  Any better?  Any more progress on the nursery?

SaranJonathan - How have you been doing?  What's new with you?

princezjk - Sending you a big (((HUG))).  How have you been feeling?  PgAL brain sucks, but we are here for you!!

voplo - How are you doing this week with the modified bed rest?  How the the 3hr GTT go?  I've been thinking of you lots!!

noonandj04 - Are you still feeling good this week?  I hope you're firmly in that beautiful stage of 2nd tri!!  How was the appointment?

Banbie18 - Congratulations on TEAM PINK!!!  Sorry to hear about the cervix checks, though, that sucks.  At least they are keeping an eye on you, though, right?

Fuccimama - I'm so sorry about the bed rest.  Will they lift that restriction soon as you approach full term?  (((HUGS)))

songbirdsinging55 - That is awesome about the registries.  Where did you register?  Will you go to the store with DH?  Be careful if you let him hold the scanny thing!

TheFutureMrsD - Congratulations and welcome to the check in!  We are so happy to have you here.  How did you tell your DH/SO when you found out that you were pregnant?

mmheartspb - Congratulations and welcome to the Monday check in!  I'm sorry that you are feeling the anxiety.  PgAL brain is a bitch.  I hope you were able to talk to your doc about it.  We are here for you, too.  How did you let your DH/SO know the big news?

SuperKim13

I literally had this entire check in completely typed up when I accidentally closed the browser window....  NOOOOOOOO!!!!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 29 weeks - acorn squash

Appts/ Updates? I have a regular OB appointment next week and then we will increase the frequency.  I also have my shower on Sunday - YIKES!

How are you feeling? I am feeling pretty good pregnancy wise.  I was wiped out yesterday I think from a combination of a busy weekend and the warm weather.  Today my allergies are acting up and I can't stop coughing.  

What are you craving?  Still on the lemonade kick, but I made some fresh lemonade at home last night.  It was awesome and I wish I had some right now!

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity?  Well until this year, it had been enjoying a glass of wine out on the deck.  I'll have to say taking our dog down to the rocky beach near our house and letting him run around while we enjoy the warm air and the breeze.

songbirdsinging55

SuperKim13 Thank you for running the check in :-)

songbirdsinging55 - That is awesome about the registries.  Where did you register?  Will you go to the store with DH?  Be careful if you let him hold the scanny thing!  We started at babiesRus and buttered noodles. We haven't used the scanner thing yet because we only really added a few things to online registries but we will as soon as we know the sex of the baby. 

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? October 27th, 16 weeks Avocado

Appts/ Updates? General check up soon on 5/22 and we scheduled the A/S for June 11th! 30 Days seems so far away to me now. I hope it flies by so we can see our LO is healthy.

How are you feeling? Good, tired and a little nervous. I am not sure if it is LO moving or it is just stretching but the last two days, I have felt butterfly feelings quite a bit. Yesterday after DH made me pancakes, I swear I had a handful of butterflies dancing around in there. Also the last few nights I have woken up every few hours to what feels like solid little rock on different sides of my ute. I kept rolling to different sides to get comfortable but it was such a strange feeling.

What are you craving? Watermelon, spanish olives and chocolate cake. Not together 

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? My favorite thing I would have to say is taking a walk with DH to the park to sit on the swings. I love to swing and talk. Also, we usually have a little picnic :-)

I hate when that happens with posts! Yay for the shower and now I want some lemonade lol.

SandSunBliss

Hi superkim!!! Ahh shower time! Enjoy every second

Congrats j&j09 and @meli1025!!! So happy for you both.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? June 2. 37 weeks! Winter melon...

Appts/ Updates? Had one today. No change from last week. My doctor is going on vacation for 10 days. Stay put, baby, until she gets back! She said cervix was soft, but not dilated or effaced at all. Baby's head is still low.

How are you feeling? Good. Large. some pressure. Pretty close to ready for baby

What are you craving? Back to cheese/quesadillas. Trying to choose good things for baby, but it is so hard right now!

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? Napping in the hammock under our shade tree. Very jealous of your beach walks!!


*******************************

SandSunBliss - Holy Smokes, you are almost holding that baby of yours. Any progress on those few last minute things?

I know it's crazy! It feels like it had gone by so fast so far. All we have left to do is pack our hospital bag. And finish 40 more thank you notes... (A little behind on these...) we ordered all our unpurchased items we wanted from our amazon and BRU registries this weekend, so we are kind of poor now. I guess we best get used to it!!

Ohh, flutters are so cool!  I hope they are the real deal.  I have never heard of buttered noodles (aside from the food), I'll have to check that out.  I hope the next 30 days fly by for you!!

Thanks for the check in Kim! Sorry you lost the whole post and had to start over - I hate it when that happens - so frustrating.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 24 weeks - VDay! A cantaloupe 

Appts/ Updates? Nothing this week, but next Monday I've got my OB appt and glucose test (oh, joy) and on Tuesday I see my MFM for a growth scan. Can't wait to see this baby on the screen again!

How are you feeling? Really good! I've been able to do some exercise (see personal question below) and that has helped a bit with my energy. I had a prenatal massage last Thursday and it was glorious. I wish I could get one everyday!

What are you craving? Fresh fruit like crazy. I've eaten a massive bowl of strawberries while sitting here typing this. Also, cheese fries always sound like a good idea.

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? Driving out toward Hill Country to see the bluebonnets and other pretty wildflowers. Although that's more of a March/April thing. It's basically summer weather here now.

lindsayhilleary - How is the sciatica this week?  Any better?  Any more progress on the nursery? Sciatica is a bit better - I've found an exercise that doesn't bother it. I've been going to the Y and using the recumbent bike for 30-45 min. Gets my heartrate up a bit and I can read my kindle easily while I'm on there. I'd rather be running, but that'll have to wait til the Fall.

Nursery is slowly coming along. Just adding small little details like different colored drawer pulls for the dresser. Things like that. I need to find a glider for my small space soon though.

Happy V Day!!!  That is great that you found some exercise options that work.  I have a hard time getting myself to a workout, but always feel so much better afterward!

We are looking for a glider, too.  We need to hit up a few furniture stores this week.  Good luck to you!

Haha, too true on being poor!  This is so exciting, it really has flown by.  I am so excited for you.  I hope LO stays put until your OB is back in town!

Hey @songbirdsinging55, I just realized we're due date twins! Heyyyy  :-h

And thank you for running check-in, @SuperKim13! I can't believe your shower is this Sunday already. That is a big deal! Hope you get everything on your registry

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? October 27 / 16 weeks / Avocado

Appts/ Updates? Have a big one this week! Going in for an ultrasound Thursday afternoon. It will be my first u/s since I was in week 10. My doc had me schedule it to check cervical length. Really hoping baby cooperates so we can find out the sex!

How are you feeling? Really great, actually! Except allergy season is about to swing in, so we'll see how long this good feeling lasts.

What are you craving? Fruit! I'm currently on my lunch break and just finished eating some strawberries and blackberries, mmmm.

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? It's not necessarily a "springtime" activity per se, but every time the weather warms up here I get the urge to shop shop shop! So, shopping.

noonandj04 - Are you still feeling good this week?  I hope you're firmly in that beautiful stage of 2nd tri!!  How was the appointment?

Feeling pretty good, yep! The appointment went great, heard a loud and beautiful heartbeat. And the doc found it so quickly this time! I'm finally starting to relax and feel more confident/less anxious. Very happy! 

lv2011

Hi, Superkim!! Thanks for running the check-in How are you doing?
Big congrats to J&J09 and Meli!! So happy for you!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 38/ pumpkin- Officially the most pregnant I have ever been

Appts/ Updates?  Appt tomorrow. Ended up in L&D last night with a kidney infection. Thankfully, it's pretty mild and early stage so they were able to send me home with antibiotics.

How are you feeling? Kidney is sore, and I'm huge and swollen, achy and tired. Otherwise, ok.

What are you craving? Ice chips

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity?  I love taking walks. We've got a lot of great parks and beaches here.


lv2011 - How are you holding up?  I keep checking to see if there is any news.  Are you feeling any more mentally ready?  Doing much better. I think I just needed to get over that point when DD1 was born- she was so tiny and jaundiced. I just want to give this little girl the best shot of growing and being healthy.

I'm so happy and excited for you.  I hope the little one is excited to show off and you can find out the sex!!  And I feel your pain about the allergies.

Thank you for the well wishes.  It's hard to believe it's time to have a shower!

Hello everyone. Thank you Kim for running this check up week after week (specially today that you had to write it twice). 

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 28 weeks. An eggplant I think. Now each week is another milestone to celebrate.

Appts/ Updates? I went the Thursday for the 3 hours test. Was awful. The drink was 100mg glucose concentration, instead 50mg (the normal orange one) so I was sick for a while but I didn't throw up. 

They poked me 4 times.... I have huge bruises in both of my arms. I am hoping the results will be ready at the end of this week.... I am hoping I don't have GD but that would explain the high blood pressure. I also have an appointment the Wednesday to check how my body is responding to the medication... 

How are you feeling? I am feeling better since I started taking my blood pressure pills, but today I started swelling and that is not good.  I got a lot of resting since we went to the cottage up to the north, although resting is not as great as it sounds, and even worse when you have a toddler. Still he is very sweet and the put some band-aids on my belly when I told him mummy was sick. 

What are you craving? Tea, iced tea...sugary things...everything I can't have at this point...

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? We usually go hiking when the snow melts. Also  canoeing on one of the million lakes in Muskoka and viewing wild life. We went to the cottage the Friday and we saw a moose, that was great Also we did a "handicap trail" that are the only ones I can do at the moment (only one).  

I really hope everyone have a great week

Fingers crossed for good results from the test.  That sounds terrible.  I felt awful after drinking the orange one...  

The cottage sounds amazing, even the handicap trail sounds pretty nice!  And your son sounds like such a sweet heart!  He must have a really awesome mom!

We'll be thinking of you!!  Hope that swelling goes down!

@SuperKim13‌ well I no longer see my MFM per my OB and she says continue life as normal since I get my cerclage out May 22nd and baby is safe around this time which that day will be 36w 3d for me and I am now 35w. I pretty much stay at home anyways either in bed or on the couch so I believe everything will be fine! As always thank you for running this weekly thread. 35w/coconut/6-16-2014 Next appointment; 5/22 cerclage removal I'm achy and tired I love salads and chocolate and ice cream In the spring to be honest the bbqs with friends and family.

That's great that it will be out soon!  I'm glad to hear you're taking it easy.  

I love barbecues, too!

Amores0121

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 30 weeks!!! AHHHHH

Appts/ Updates? I have my first appointment with one of the midwives next Monday, so that's exctiting!

How are you feeling? Physically doing well. Mentally and emotionally very stressed. I am suppose to give my notice to vacate in 2 days and we have no clue where we are going to live yet. 

What are you craving? For the past 2 days I have been craving bakery doughnuts. Have not bought them though, and probably won't!

QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity?  Going for walks with DD, though it has been raining like crazy lately so we havent got to do that. But we did go to the beach for Mother's Day so that was nice!

Amores0121 – What prompted you to make the switch to a midwife?  Have you been able to get in with an appointment?  After I talked to one of the other drs and they told me their VBAC success rate was 65-70%, I decided I needed to check out a MW. This practice only has an 80% rate, but the MW said everything to me that should be said to a woman about birth.  My favorite was "this is your body and your birth. We would never make a decision for you (unless I was hemorraghing or something)"  No DR. has ever said that to me. I do plan on sending a letter to my dr, b/c I really care for her and think she's a great Dr.  Also there were 26 possible drs that could have delivered me, only 4 MWs. So there's that too.  My DD will also be allowed to be there!

That is really awesome about the MW, I'm so glad that you're able to make it happen.

I'm sorry about the moving stress.  I hope you get it all figured out very soon!

Nervous & excited/ 4.What are you craving? Mostly fruit/veggies because I've had a lot of heartburn QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? Spending some more time outdoors before the summer heat fully kicks in.

I intro'd on the main board but long story short I've had 2 losses before this, but I'm hoping that this one is different. 1. How many weeks/Fruit? Only 4wks 1day, no fruit yet but I'm a poppy seed this week 2. appointments I have my 3rd beta draw next Monday to make sure my #'s keep progressing 3.How are you feeling? Nervous & excited/ 4.What are you craving? Mostly fruit/veggies because I've had a lot of heartburn QOTW: What is your favorite springtime activity? Spending some more time outdoors before the summer heat fully kicks in.

Congrats and welcome!
