Re: Tuesday Ticker Change Check-In
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 27 weeks, Rutabaga
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Hello third trimester!
Favorite moment of the week? Spending a couple of nights in Lake Tahoe. MH booked us a hotel room right on the lake and it was so beautiful. We went on a gorgeous hike and had a great time. Also, he's just about done refinishing dressers that used to be my grandpa's and then mine when I was young. They look great! And another... Got to see movement from the outside over the weekend. What?!
Least favorite moment of the week? Work, blah.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Nose is more stuffy, but that's probably due to allergies, too. Nothing really different.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I'm doing ok this week. Baby has been really active and going crazy with the dance parties, which has helped ease PGAL brain.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I had my GTT (2 hour) yesterday and I think I passed. The fasting and 1 hour number were under the guidelines, but the 2 hour was right on the border. I have an OB appointment next Wednesday and I'll discuss that with my doctor then.
QOTW: I love watching the leaves change. It's so beautiful!
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? I turn 7 weeks today! A blueberry.
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? Not far enough along yet but we're definitely finding out! I can't keep a secret to save my life.
How are you feeling? Great! Besides exhaustion I feel no other symptoms.
Favorite moment of the week? Getting a call from the doc that numbers continue to rise.
Least favorite moment of the week? That nagging fear in the back of my head that something bad could still happen. This is all the time but I'm trying to let that go more.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? I couldn't be luckier. I feel fine. Just hungry and tired and that's alright by me!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? T&P request for Friday which is our first prenatal appointment. They are going to do an ultrasound so I'm praying for a heartbeat.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? 1st apt this Friday!!!!!!
QOTW: The colors and the smells!
@luciddreamer106 - Welcome to your third trimester! Won't be long now!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 36 weeks, honeydew melon
How are you feeling? Actually better! She dropped and it is amazing. I can breathe and eat again and that has really improved my outlook!
Favorite moment of the week? During the NST LO kept trying to kick the monitors off. DH was in the room watching the discs jump and he was absolutely floored by how strong she was. Overall that was a good appointment. She is 5lb 15oz, in the 40th percentile, and head down - all good things! And the cervical check hurt less than the first one; no visible/palpable progress towards labor yet.
Least favorite moment of the week? I had time-able contractions on Sunday. They weren't any more painful than menstrual cramps, but they were consistent for over an hour. I called the OB service and she said it was probably because we had sex the day before (sorry if TMI), just take a long shower, try to relax and come in if my water breaks or they start getting closer than every 5 minutes. She suspected that they were just BH. The shower helped a lot, and they spread themselves out more. I'm still getting frequent-ish contractions and feel crampy, but Dr said that could last all the way to delivery when the "real" contractions start - sweet.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Most symptoms have gotten better since she moved down, yay! Beyond the cramping and contractions mentioned above, my hands and fingers have been sore in the joints when I wake up. Once I stretch them out they are fine, it's just sort of a weird thing to pop up now.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Feeling very good! She is a mover so that helps keep me calm.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? 37 weeks next week means term! Early term, but still!
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite thing about autumn? I really like the more comfortable temperatures and the changing colors. I also love all things pumpkin. And college football is back! A new favorite thing starting this year will be LO's birthday
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 33 weeks -- durian
How are you feeling? huge and swollen
Favorite moment of the week? had a great time visiting friends and family this weekend; it was hectic, but so nice to see everyone.
Least favorite moment of the week? swelling of my feet/ankles hurts so bad from all the travel. the airplane was horrible for them, car, walking, standing, sitting, etc. the only time they've felt better is when i did a lavender essential oil soak last night, but i'm allergic to lavender, so i started sneezing/stuffing up like crazy.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? see above. swelling.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? doing okay on this front, so at least there's that.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? appt on thursday; going to ask about the swelling, but i know there's really nothing for it. i haven't had any other signs of pre-e, and nothing but feet/ankles are swelling, so i know i should be thankful for that, but a little relief would be nice.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite thing about autumn? Leaves, cold weather, and pie -- all tied for first place!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
34 weeks. Butternut squash.
How are you feeling?
About the same. Very pregnant.
Favorite moment of the week? Went out to dinner with DH for a real date on Friday. He made reservations at a place I've been wanting to go to for months. It was a treat!
Least favorite moment of the week? I had to go to the ER and L&D on Sunday to check out a worrisome symptom. Turned out to be nothing and LO is a-ok, but no trip to the hospital is fun
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? The new one that I had to get checked out is a weird sudden shooting pain in my leg that also comes with a loss of strength in the leg. It turned out not to be sciatica. It's pretty painful, but also very brief and doesn't happen often.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Mostly okay. Though my most recent birth class talked about major problems with labor, and that has given me the willies all week.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? 34 week check up today. What I'm really looking forward to, though, is the u/s at 36 weeks. So curious to see baby again!
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite thing about autumn?
Hi, can I join this check-in?
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 5 weeks / appleseed
How are you feeling? Pretty low. I'm fighting a never-ending cold. I also got my 3rd betas yesterday and, overall, they are low and slow to rise. (61 at 4w, 113 at 4w2d, 284 at 4w6d). The nurse at my RE's office says all looks fine, but of course with my multiple loss background, I'm worried about another m/c or maybe even ectopic. Just having a really hard time trying to stay positive.
Favorite moment of the week? It's been kind of a rough week so far, but I'm looking forward to trick-or-treating with DS on Friday!
Least favorite moment of the week? Falling down the Google rabbit hole about low and slow rising betas.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? I have very few symptoms, though I didn't with my DS either.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? PGAL brain is a bitch! Any T&P and growing vibes would be much appreciated.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Ultrasound on Nov. 11 (7 weeks)
GTKY: What is your favorite thing about autumn? bonfires and apple cider
@meagpt22 Congrats on your sweet baby girl! Hope she is home safe with you
@luciddreamer Good luck with your busy day.
@birch113 - did you see how close to the top of the list we are getting here??
@lyndz333 Welcome! hope you keep getting good news
@mrstuna08 Oh, breathing sounds so wonderful!!
@haleyusf glad you had a good trip!
@bookishmomma welcome to tuesdays! Are they planning a 4th beta draw, or just waiting til the u/s? Fx for you!!
Feeling good still :-)
Worked my last shift... it was bittersweet, nice for people to say they'll miss me :-) Also went to a moms of multiples meeting, since I am done working.... and they were great!
and my diapers have started to arrive!
Worst thing? Worked my last shift, I'll miss my coworkers, then right into GTT and a TDaP shot :-)
Carpal tunnel is bad, half of my hand and 3 fingers both sides keep going numb.... otherwise pretty good, my leg numbness seems to have eased.
PGAL brain treating me well. I can feel the babies moving a lot, makes me laugh :-D andhubby can feel and see them :-)
We graduated to every two weeks appts, get another growth scan in a couple weeks, too! Excited about that :-)
I love the colors of autumn, pumpkin stuff, the smell of that first frost and dried leaves... :-)
@luciddreamer106 vacay sounds awesome, I am jealous ;-)
@lyndz333 fx'd for your seeing that HB! Remember... today you are pregnant :-) ((hugs)) and welcome!
@MrsTuna08 glad you are feeling more comfortable, getting close :-)
@haleyusf you are a brave woman to travel at 33 weeks! My escapades at 20 weeks had my feet and ankles so swollen it felt like a week of elevation to get them back! Planes and cars, too much dependent time, even with compression stockings... :-) Sorry the lavender made you stuffy, but glad it helped your feet :-)
@megbmeg sorry for your new symptom! Glad they werent concerned, but I hope it doesnt come back! yikes on that birth class. I need to get signed up and pre registered and such, too.... you are getting close :-)
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 39 weeks, watermelon
How are you feeling? The same- big and in pain a lot of the time unless I'm sitting still.
Favorite moment of the week? Last week a few co-workers who I don't see or work with very often threw me a little shower and it was SO sweet! And the weekend was really nice so H and I went out to lunch and did some outside stuff Saturday.
Least favorite moment of the week? My appointment this morning- I've been doing everything that my midwife suggested last week and have made zero progress, baby is still low but cervix is still high and not dilated at all, and if I don't start to dilate then I won't be able to have a membrane sweep. I'm worried/stressed that 41 weeks is going to roll around and I'll still be screwed shut and will have to have a medical induction, which could take away my hopes of having a pain-med-free childbirth. So yeah, frustrated. I don't need LO to arrive yet, I just need to start dilating a bit!!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? The same.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? PGAL brain is OK.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? EDD is in 1 week and my next appointment is the following day with induction shortly after 41 weeks if no baby.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite thing about autumn? I love all pumpkin-flavored foods (got a pumpkin doughnut after my appointment this AM!), and I love the weather, days like the past few when it's beautiful and sunny and 60-some degrees outside.
TTC since Sept 2011, Unexplained IF
Oct 12 - Jan 14: 3 clomid/TI cycles, 2 hysteroscopies, 2 IUIs, 1 BFP (MMC @ 12w), 2 more IUIs
Feb 14: Gonal-f + IUI #5 = BFP! (EDD 11/4/14)
Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
Congrats to @meagpt22!!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 13 weeks - peach
How are you feeling? I am feeling ok. A bit nervous about our last weekly u/s this Friday, and our plans to go public.
Favorite moment of the week? Taking DS (who is 3) to the local fire station Halloween party. He had so much fun and just the look in his eyes was perfect! Pure innocent excitement and joy!!
Least favorite moment of the week? Finding out that my MIL decided to clean my bedroom while I was working bc she thought it "needed" it. I have a thing about my privacy (and she knows this) and I felt so violated. I appreciated the gesture but I know her and she will hold this over my head for god only knows how long.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? My symptoms seem to have eased up quite a bit. Nausea is much better, still exhausted though. Kicks in PgAL brain though (even though I know this can be completely normal). I have however been getting lots of headaches and rlp.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I don't know why but this is proving to be a rough week approaching our last weekly u/s. I think us going public on top of it has been me on the edge. I just feel like I am waiting for it to all come crashing down on me. Like it's all too good to be true. Any good vibes you could send my way to help me get through this would be great!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Our last weekly u/s (growth check) is on Halloween. Then we will set forth our plan from there.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite thing about autumn? My favorite thing about autumn is the colors. It's just beautiful and I love just taking a drive and taking it all in.

MrsTuna08 I still get the pain and stiffness in my wrists and finger joints, it's worse in the morning. It's definitely annoying to deal with!
haleyusf Sorry about the swelling, hope you find something that will help! Thanks for the tips too, we've tried the EPO, sex, walking, and I've been bouncing on a yoga ball. I've read about dates too so will pick some up this weekend!
megbmeg Sorry to hear you were in L&D but glad everything is OK.
BookishMomma Welcome, sorry that your betas aren't rising as much as you'd like, I hope that the next one looks better.
Bigboneded Glad you found a nice group of multiples moms, I must say I'm jealous that you're no longer working!
GrailSeeker14 Sorry about the spotting. I went through a weird thirsty phase too, especially at night and first thing in the morning, couldn't gulp down enough ice water.
Courtney1741 Good luck at your appointment, I hope that it reassures you about going public.

@haleyusf Boo for the swelling. I hope that you can get some good advice on Thursday.
@megbmeg I’m sorry that you had the weird symptoms that sent you to the ER, but glad that everything is ok. FX that it goes away on its own. Maybe baby is positioned strangely?
@bookishmomma Welcome! Sending lots of healthy growing vibes!

@rox825 How sweet to have a shower from your coworkers. Sending dilation vibes your way and I hope you get to have the pain med-free birth you’re going for.
@grailseeker14 I’m glad to see that you’re feeling better after the spotting scare from before. FX that it stays away. Starting to feel your uterus is such a cool feeling, I had become obsessed with checking it’s progress (especially in the beginning).
@courtney1741 Sending good vibes for your u/s on Friday. I hope your announcement goes well. Take deep breaths.
@birch113 I’m sorry you’re having a rough time at work, I completely understand. FX that baby moves to give you some relief from the pain.

@snowbigdeal I'm sorry for the awkward silence.... if it helps my pat answer for first pg question is, "No, we had a loss last year. But everything looks good this time so we are very excited" That brings it back to happy pg talk and doesn't leave you getting detailed loss questions with someone you dont know that well....
