1.  How many weeks along are you? 20 weeks, 4days? It keeps moving up. DD is my little Amazon, so we have and awesome counterpart coming along lol!

2.  Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Ultrasound was awesome. Little man has as much personality as the rest of the family...
here he is plotting to take over the world:

And Giggling over his genius plans I am sure :



He's not all evil genius though, he spent a good amount of time hugging the placenta and cuddle mode. :x

3.  How are you feeling lately? Varies hour to hour. MS comes back in waves but isn't taking me out all day. See QOTW.

4.  QOTW: Pregnancy emotions- how dramatic are they/ have they been compared to normal and how do you cope? Finding compared to DD's I am raging more- I was so chill with her pregnancy nothing got to me. This one, I am ready to fight anyone or anything so having to say a lot of "OMs" and breathe. One day I will be a complete nut and the next day totally normal. SO just a roller coaster I wasn't prepared for... AM managing by trying to relax when I can and ignore some shit I would normally rip into. Not easy- but better to make it through the pregnancy right?

@Momarazzi007‌ congrats on a baby Boy!!

I think I missed the check in last week.

1. 30w5d

2. Had an OB appt yesterday. Seems I am having tiny contractions, but not many. When she checked me she said my cervix was starting to soften and I am fingertip dilated. She said just keep an eye on and call if more than 4 contractions in an hour. So far so good. Have an appt with MFM on Monday, will be excited to see how much they weigh (as every time I go to OB, which is weekly, I have gained up to 4lbs. So that must mean it's all baby right? Lol)

3. Feeling? Tired. More irritable than normal. Tired but not working has made such a difference.

4. QOTW: some days I am over the top dramatic (like when DD wouldn't put her super cute new fake ugh boots on and I threw them across the room) and other days I am fine.

****Update Note for 2IF Grads****
Next week I will be unable to post the check in until Sunday as I will be out of town and out of pocket (we leave Wednesday and that is a little early to post). There is a small chance I will be back Saturday, but Sunday at the latest. Just forgot to give heads up in main post! Thank-you!

1.  How many weeks along are you? 8 weeks today! My little raspberry!

2.  Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Nothing until final RE appt set for 10/28

3.  How are you feeling lately? TIRED! I keep thinking back when I was pregnant with DS how tired I was, but how I was able to take naps whenever I wanted (after work/weekends). My 4 year old just won't let me nap- I am exhausted.

4.  QOTW: Pregnancy emotions- how dramatic are they/ have they been compared to normal and how do you cope? I cry/get teared up at anything & everything. Happy stories, sad stories, tv commercials, songs on the radio- It's crazy, because I am NOT an emotional person at all.

Congrats @Momarazzi007‌ on team blue! Also hope we hear from @cerad5‌ - hope she is enjoying her new bundle of joy!

1. 39 weeks
2. Next appointment is on Thursday and due date is Saturday! Doesn't feel like anything is happening yet though - was only finger-tip dilated last week.
3. Feeling ok. I keep waiting for some pre-labor symptoms to show but nothing yet. I am so ready to be done with work - unfortunately that has not slowed down.
4. I do get more emotional but luckily DH has been putting up with it pretty well!

Have a good week everyone!

@Momarazzi007‌ congrats on baby boy! And @StellaMakes3‌ I'm sorry about the GD that really sucks!

1. 35weeks

2. Just got back from the doctor and everything is looking perfect! Baby A is still breech so I will be having a c-section November 5th (38weeks 3days) if they don't come before then. I go back next week for my last ultrasound to check on babies one more time

3. Feeling about the same level of crappy. Hips hurt to the point where sometimes my legs don't work. Everybody keeps thinking I'm going to fall! Breathing, sleeping and peeing sucks. And DH times my contractions every night thinking I'm going into labor and it's starting to get annoying.

4. I've been super emotional this time! DH says it's made me mean but I can't help it I have to have patience for DD and I have to try not to yell at strangers out in public, there is none left for anybody else!
