We're having a daughter! Thanks for updating the list @rox825
How are you feeling? Pretty good.
Favorite moment of the week?
We had a reveal party with our family on Sunday and it was so much fun to find out together. We were all really surprised, actually. And it was fun to tell my nieces, who really flipped out with excitement about another girl in the family.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Took my dog Leo to the vet for his check up and he was so scared. Poor guy.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm guessing this is about as good as it's going to get. Some aches/pains and mild heartburn & mild morning nausea. Pretty much feel pregnant but it's not too bad.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Doing really well. I had been saying "I hope I feel better when we get to X week or milestone" for so long, but after the good a/s and getting to 20 wks and still feeling nervous, I made a deal with myself: I'm going to feel ok and just believe this baby is ok and she's coming home with us in a few months. I'm not going to entertain the fears I could unless my dr tells me to be concerned about something real. So far so good! And baby girl is kicking me while I type so I'll take that as her support.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Follow up u/s on thurs to get the final two measurements for a/s: spine & kidneys. She was too curled up last week, so we get another peek.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Inspired by my recent consignment shopping: What has been or will be your biggest baby splurge item? And if you've started buying things, what deals have you found?
Biggest splurge will probably be a nice, super comfy, upholstered glider + recliner. But we're getting it from a great local factory direct place, so hopefully not too much of a splurge!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 35 weeks/eggplant?
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Favorite moment of the week? While I was at the gym this week an elderly man said I must be feeling tired but that I was still cute.
Least favorite moment of the week? A few of my numbers for GD have been high and I have no idea why.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Acid reflux is pretty bad. It is really only in the night hours (before bed). I still feel huge.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? We are discussing putting off induction with our dr but the thought of stillborn scares me.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Dr. appt this afternoon and NST on friday.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
@meladoriestar-Good luck at the appt on Thursday.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 14 weeks - Lemon
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!)
How are you feeling? Feeling really good. Turns out that 2nd trimester energy thing is real!
Favorite moment of the week? Exploring Pottery Barn Kids. I'm finally letting myself get excited about the idea of a take-home baby and all the baby stuff is just so cute!
Least favorite moment of the week? Overdid it on Sunday and was an exhausted wreck Sunday night.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Symptoms are generally good. Heartburn at night and occasional headaches, but nothing that Tums and Tylenol can't handle. Some cramping, but not even as bad as I had in the beginning. Really can't complain.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I think I have finally kicked PGAL brain to the curb. I am finally feeling good and I'm just determined to let myself enjoy this pregnancy.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next appointment isn't until August 18th.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? - 5 weeks today and the size of a sesame seed.
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? - we aren't far enough along yet but still trying to figure out if we will find out again or be team green.
How are you feeling? - almost too good. With my daughter I was sick from the start and even worse so with our loss. I am exhausted, bitchy and have sore boobs but so far the MS is staying away.
Favorite moment of the week? - we had an awesome night with our best friends (and some delicious Chinese food) this weekend. It was nice to enjoy some downtime!
Least favorite moment of the week? - having a full conversation with my Mom about our RE and not telling her about the baby. I'm just a little too nervous to spread the news right now.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? - seems to be getting a little worse daily.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? - I had a tiny bit of pink/brown CM Sunday and had a little bit of a panic. With that and the lack of MS I took another test this morning. I know it's silly but it gave me some reassurance - it popped up so fast and dark!! (I know at this point the test doesn't really matter
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? - we have our first ultrasound with our RE, he agreed to see us for the first few, on 8/11. It can't come soon enough!!
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Inspired by my recent consignment shopping: What has been or will be your biggest baby splurge item? And if you've started buying things, what deals have you found? - we will have a lot of leftovers from my DD but the car seat/stroller will be a big splurge
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
15 weeks - Orange
How are you feeling? Still tired and the headaches and heartburn are worse. My stomach seems to be upset less which is nice.
Favorite moment of the week? My husband was home on Saturday and we had a great productive day in the sun which was awesome. I felt so much better afterwards but paid for it on Sunday when I could not get out of bed.
Least favorite moment of the week? Mother in law drama
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Symptoms don't seem to be changing too much yet. Still no energy burst. I still cant eat much at dinner. I have started to wake up in the middle of the night hungry which I hate and I refuse to get up and eat because I don't need to be eating that late.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Things have been pretty good lately as far as anxiety but honestly it is still hard for me to believe this is really gonna happen. Buying baby stuff is still the farthest thing from my mind. I am starting to get asked about child care after I go back to work and how long I want to take off of work and I honestly have no idea. I am really hoping after our anatomy scan I will feel like being more proactive because i am usually such a planner.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Our anatomy scan Aug 22nd
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
I have not bought anything but I think the biggest splurge will be our car seat and stroller. I would like to get one of those sets that you can just snap the car seat into the stroller.

A/S 8-22-14 - Its a BOY!!
12/15 Checkup & heard his beautiful heartbeat
ALL WELCOME -
@birch113 super excited for you about half baked! I hope your a/s on Friday is wonderful and you get to find out boy/girl. So fun!
@co baby1 welcome! Congrats on your little sesame seed. I'm sure it was weird and hard not to tell your mom but I think it totally makes sense to do whatever helps you right now.
@rox825 hooray for your fun shopping! I haven't hit the consignment shops yet, but I definitely plan to after our shower. If I went this week I'd probably come home with armfuls of pink things
@larahouseman hooray for energy and for a happy, hopeful brain! That's wonderful
@Bonnesetter27 yay for the sit & stand deal. My sister has one and it is great. If you induce, is it 37 wks you and your dr were talking about? What are you leaning toward now? It must be such a hard decision.
meladoriestar – Sending Big ((Hugs)) your way. PGAL brain sucks!
rox825 – Thanks for the check in! Sadly no 2nd trimester energy burst yet. I am starting to think that it will never happen. I didn’t end up calling my dr about the recall because at this point there is nothing they can do unless I am experiencing symptoms. Its sucks because it can take months before that happens. I am just hoping for the best. Awesome job getting so much baby gear at the consignment sale!
megbmeg – Congrats on your baby girl!
Bonnesetter27 – It is so awesome that you are still going to the gym. You rock! My fitness routine has gone down the crapper and I just keep waiting to get energy so that I feel like I can do something on work days. I have sort of started to give up on the energy part and am trying to just tell myself that I need to do something no matter how crappy I feel.
larahouseman – That is so awesome that you were able to kick the PGAL brain!! I am hoping that I can start to here soon.
co baby1 – Welcome and congrats!

@co baby1 - we've got the same due date! Congrats & welcome!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 5 weeks/appleseed
How are you feeling? tired, sore boobs, headaches
Favorite moment of the week? telling my parents & MIL
Least favorite moment of the week? Last week, DH was flying nights (military) so he wasn't home in the evenings and was sleeping in the mornings so I had to entertain DD by leaving the house or keeping her quiet. She is NOT a quiet girl...
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? see above
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Just looking forward to my first appt and hearing the heart beat...(loss before DD was blighted ovum)
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? First appt on 13 Aug
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
@SamanthaLaura16 I've still got hope for your for an energy uptick. I didn't start to feel better until 16 wks and my OB said that was pretty common. And it wasn't like a switch flipped for me; it was a gradual pick up in energy, and I feel like myself now (at least in that respect)

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 20 weeks - banana!
How are you feeling? Feeling good most of the time! 2nd tri is definitely my favorite trimester!
Favorite moment of the week? Yesterday DS was a total butt head and made me want a glass of wine so badly... and then he fell asleep snuggled into my side last night on the couch and SO had to carry him up to bed and it was just the sweetest thing. Amazing how they can be so annoying but look so cute...
Least favorite moment of the week? Yesterday DS was a total butt head.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Generally better; I think my boobs have started getting bigger AGAIN and also I'm *ahem* leaking a bit after I go to the restroom. So annoying. Must do kegels!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Most of the time I'm fine, but I manage the high-risk check-in on D14 and it's crazy the complications and losses that are still happening. We've had two women go into labor in the past two weeks and lose their babies and another lost a twin (Baby A is still fine). It's just so scary sometimes, but definitely makes me cherish every kick.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? A/S on Thursday!!!
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 14 weeks, lemon
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I felt anxious last week, but feel better now.
Favorite moment of the week? I've been working a lot this week (including 4 night shifts in a row) and I wasn't keeping up on cleaning my house. Our cleaning lady came today and now it looks beautiful! Plus, my mom is going to spend two nights with us starting today so it's perfect timing.
Least favorite moment of the week? My car's check engine light came on Thursday along with shaking and turning off. I had to have it towed to get checked out and it was overheating. I had a piece of wood go through my car's grill and into my radiator a couple of years ago and was covered my insurance. Good news is that it might still be covered under that claim due to extended damage that wasn't fixed. But, really annoying trying to coordinate with MH to borrow his car until I got a rental.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Feeling better. I'm not so nauseous, but it does hit every once in awhile. I'm still pretty tired, but I think it might be getting better.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I helped MH with a video tutorial in the ER last week, so my reward was doing a quick scan to ease my PGAL fear from the lower, but normal HR from the previous week.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next prenatal appointment is on 8/14.

BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
@meladoriestar I’m sending lots of good vibes for your u/s on Thursday. I hope you get great news.
@megbmeg How fun to share the excitement with your family! I hope that you’re able to get the rest of the measurements and everything still looks good.
@bonnesetter27 I hope that your doctor can ease some of your fears at your appointment today.
@rox825 Wow! Awesome score at the consignment sale! I’ve had comments like that a lot, too regarding not finding out the sex. Um, actually, it makes me a super planner because you sometimes have to think harder about making everything gender neutral and not just boring.
@larahouseman Yay for second tri! I’m glad you’re feeling better.
@cobaby1 Welcome! It’s ok to share the news on your own time, don’t feel bad about it.
I have to go, my mom is almost here. I'll respond to everyone else later, I promise.
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
Thank you ladies so much for the warm Tuesday Ticker Change welcome
@Samanthalaura16-It is probably a good thing but I have to go to the gym every other day or else my blood sugar goes crazy.
@luciddreamer106- She really did but she also said he was measuring 2 weeks ahead, that made me worried but I know it could be off and she said he didn't feel that big. I hate car issues and having to share.
@haleyusf-I am having the same issue with kegels.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 13 - kiwi
How are you feeling? Bleh. Frequent nausea. Starving and even thinking of food makes me sick. No winning.
Favorite moment of the week? Great doctor appointment last week! Little wiggle worm was his/her normal wiggly self. And my mom got to see!
Least favorite moment of the week? After weekly ultrasounds through the first trimester, I don't have another u/s until 19 weeks. Soooo farrrrrr.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Bleh.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Awful. My symptoms are bad enough that I can logically think positively, but it's always there.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next week, finding the results of my Harmony test. Probably no gender test (I didn't ask), but it fingers crossed for uneventful results. AND the doctor will use the doppler. I can't find the bugger on my home doppler.

Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
Sorry I'm late to the party this week! Also I'm going to be a bad Tuesday bumpie who posts and runs. ((hugs)) and love to my Tuesday ladies!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
23 weeks, grapefruit
How are you feeling?
Tired, same sad story. I'm a little anxious about how I will feel toward the end of the pregnancy if I feel this tired and sore already.
Favorite moment of the week?
We checked out a bricks and mortar cloth diaper store. It was heaven. It was so nice to be able to touch and see all of the diapers I have been researching. We were the only ones in the store for most of the time and we had the attention of the owner who was so knowledgeable and helpful. She also carried a good assortment of glass feeding equipment and carriers/slings. I had some concerns about glass bottles breaking, but I really would prefer glass over plastic because even BPA free plastic is still plastic. She chucked one of the bottles across the store - huge loud noises, but perfectly intact bottle! DH and will now use that story if we catch any gruff for choosing glass for infants and toddlers.
Least favorite moment of the week?
One of DH's friends threw a vodka tasting party that we went to. It wasn't terrible, and DH behaved. However, it was really just not fun watching a bunch of people drink for hours. Also, we were told that there would be dinner and it would be pizza. We didn't eat until 9pm and that was just waaaaaay too late for me.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Back pain has kicked up a few notches this week. I am going to ask about a chiropractor recommendation at my next OB visit.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
One of the ladies on N14 had her baby this week and that is terrifying for me. At this point, perterm labor is on the top of my worry list. Her baby was just under two pounds and fortunately, was doing as best as could be expected. I really just want to make it to late November so that I can take home a happy, chubby baby.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
V-Day next week!
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!) We find out on August 25th! We are thinking pink.
How are you feeling? Better over all still some nausea and morning sickness but it's getting better
Favorite moment of the week? We had a check up Thursday and anytime we here the heart beat is amazing!
Least favorite moment of the week? I'm starting to think my job is to stressful I work in an assisted living facility and people are aggressive sometimes.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Much better starting to have sore feet and back after work but I don't mind
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Ugh! I'm not sure when that will get better. Last time we found out we were having a boy and he stopped moving. The next day and I still went a month just convincing myself he was still there.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? It's about a month away but I'm excited to know what we are having!
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Inspired by my recent consignment shopping: What has been or will be your biggest baby splurge item? And if you've started buying things, what deals have you found? I m to nervous to buy anything yet.
@samanthalaura16 It’s ok to take it one step at a time. You don’t have to have it all planned out right now. I try to have a snack with protein before bed to ward off the midnight hunger.
@spartykim Good luck at your upcoming appointment!
@birch113 Good luck at the a/s!
@haleyusf Oh, kegals! I need to be better about doing those. Those are some awesome deals you got!
@jcar2 Congrats on a great u/s!
@meagpt22 Good luck on Monday. I hope you pass the 3 hour test and don’t feel too sick.
@stephani103 FX that you get good test results!
@mrstuna08 That’s great about the glass bottles, them breaking is something I’ve been skeptical about too. We have an actual store near us, I think, that I may be checking out later on. I’m sure it’s nice to actually see them in person.
@elysa15 Yay for hearing the heartbeat! It’s music to my ears!
