member
I haven't seen a PGAL check in in a while and I hope I'm not stepping on @momtosam 's toes by doing this. I just know my PGAL brain is fired up tonight and I think there are probably others in a similar position.
I'm lifting most of this from the last check-in...
This the weekly check-in for May 2015 moms who have previously experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or loss of a child at any age. If you are new, please feel free to jump right in.
To our ladies who experienced loss this week, know your LO will always be remembered. You each will be in our thoughts and prayers! Many hugs!

How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?
Physically I feel so much better and it's making me nervous. I've strangely gotten really dry skin just in this last week. I think part of it is the weather, but I've never had dry skin this bad.
Emotionally I'm hanging in there. Taking it a day at a time. I keep repeating to myself that symptoms should be getting better now. It is normal. Right now it's not helping.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones
I have an OB appointment tomorrow and my husband is at a work conference so I'm going alone. I was doing good with my anxiety until tonight. Not sure how much I'll sleep, but at least my appointment is in the morning.
GTKY:
I love snow! But I'm a teacher so it's still fun to wake up and see school canceled. Plus this year I won't be making up those days at the end of the year. Bring it on snow!
Pregnancy Loss Background (if first time joining us) : I'd love to join! I'm 29 (for 13 more days), DH is 31 and I have a son that turned 2 in October. I had 3 early miscarriages earlier this year, all before 6 1/2 weeks. So, repeat "chemical pregnancies" were ripping my heart out and my doctors couldn't find a cause. We took the summer off and decided to try again in August. This time I was put on baby aspirin and progesterone supplements. Thankfully this little one hung on and hasn't given me a minute's worry so far, thank goodness.
EDD:
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 15, navel orange
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Physically, I feel pretty good except for being tired. I've been fighting off a horrible cold for the past week and a half.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: I'll have my anatomy scan in about 3 1/2 weeks.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I live in NC so we rarely get it. Last year was a huge year for us. It snowed several times and shut down the entire state. I actually enjoy it because it doesn't snow that often. It's nice to have a day at home cuddled up by the fire with the fam.
Pregnancy Loss Background (if first time joining us) :
We have DD who is almost 2 1/2. I had a mmc last January. I thought I was 11weeks+5days. I started cramping and bleeding that day-went to my OB and sono showed baby stopped growing at 7weeks+5days (which was Christmas Eve when ironically we told our families we were expecting). It was very hard-we had already had a sono at 7weeks+2days and saw baby's heartbeat. I scheduled d&c but miscarried completely on my own that night. It was physically and mentally AWFUL
EDD: May 20
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit:
tomorrow I will be 14 weeks
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?
Physically starting to feel better.....emotionally still a mess but trying to hide it. I have been having severe anxiety about Christmas. The thought of celebrating Christmas Eve this year after finding out our baby's heartbeat stopped on Christmas Eve last year is very hard. I'm going to put on a happy face and try to enjoy it as much as I can with DD but my heart is still breaking. And I know this is something DH would not understand
Any updates from last weeks check-in : this is my first check in
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Starting my second trimester tomorrow. Yay! Next ob appt is 12/9 and my anatomy scan is 12/26
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow?
It's ok in moderation. I live in NY (about half hour outside of NYC) and we got A LOT of snow for our area last year. I can handle the snow-it's just the cold I absolutely hate!! DD liked playing in the snow last year-I'm guessing this year she will LOVE it. That will make it fun
EDD: 5/28
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: about 13 weeks
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Still sick, but otherwise great!
Any updates from last weeks check-in : I decided to do the NT and it was done on Friday. I believe everything went really well.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones Next week I have an appt. It's also going to be EDD for loss 2. Just need to hang in there.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Not a huge fan of the cold ( I'm a Texans girl), but I like snow in the dribbles we get.
Thanks for the check in!
EDD: May 15
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 14w4d I think / Lemon
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Hanging in there. It's been a weird week. But we're telling my grandparents next week which makes it really real I guess. I'm looking a little round....which is weird to accept. You always want to be thin and healthy and now all of a sudden I'm accepting that that isn't going to happen for a long time. It's just a weird thought process to change. I'm ready to start feeling baby though!
Any updates from last weeks check-in :
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones u/s on Friday, excited to see how much LO has grown!
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Ummmm I like it. I haven't seen it in awhile. I kinda miss it but I don't miss being cold. I will be in for a shock when we leave Hawaii.
EDD: 5-30
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 12w4d plum
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?Emotionally, I feel good. I've passed 4/5 of my losses but I hear the hb every morning on my Doppler so it's keeping me in check. Physically: I feel really good, the best I've felt in years. I have an autoimmune issue and it goes away when pregnant. I do have days when I'm tired but it's becoming more sporadic. So otherwise I can't complain.
Any updates from last weeks check-in:
Nothing new
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones no upcoming appts
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? We only get snow every 8-10 yrs and it's absolutely beautiful and of course we are so excited. I've been up at 3am before to watch it snow, it's a huge event when it happens. I love to watch it fall because it's so peaceful, I make a snowman, have a snowball fight and I'm done. It's messy as hell, and I can't imagine having that out my door every day. When it snows here it's wet snow, I don't even own clothes for snow, last time I had med gloves on and a few pairs of socks to try to keep my hands warm and dry so I could make a snowman.
EDD: May 13
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 15 weeks
How are you feeling emotionally? Pretty good, I have a doppler so that keeps my mind at ease. At about 13.5 weeks til now, Baby is moving so HB is harder to find at first but I always find it.
Physically? Good, still a little tired, but I have had some issues with energy levels even prior to pregnancy, although my thyroid has been checked out to be fine.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : We announced on FB on Nov 7 so that was exciting and terrifying all at the same time. I had to make DH hit the actual post button otherwise I would have sat there and contemplated it forever.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: 16 week appt next wed 11/26
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Extreme dislike. I am not a cold weather person. I live in NC so we get the best of both worlds as far as weather, I just hate the cold.
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 15w3d, orange?
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? I'm actually feeling so great physically now it's playing tricks on my PgAL mind. I had an appointment last week and a wonderful ultrasound and will have another tomorrow with hopefully another wonderful ultrasound, I'm just of course worried.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : So I'm not sure when I last checked in, my DHs dad died the first week of this month somewhat suddenly so we've been back and fourth to our home town and stress has been at an all time high, I'm trying to stay calm and level headed but it's hard sometimes. I'm hoping this doesn't cause me to be on more BP meds sooner than later...
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones tomorrow!
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Love it!!!
EDD: May 12
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 15 weeks/ Orange
How are you feeling emotionally? Better. I passed the my would have been due date for my daughter last week. It's weird and hard to explain but I felt a weight being lifter. I'm still struggling to get attached to this pregnancy. I'm still 6 weeks away from passing my last MC. Physically? Better. Still a little nausea but much better than before. Appetite seems to back with avengance.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : had the NT scan. Have a low lying placenta. So fingers crossed it migrates north in the coming weeks
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones
Dec 2, to check where the placenta is and the length of my cervix. They'll be checking the cervix every few weeks.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow?
I love it and miss it! Originally from Toronto and we usually get a fair amount. But we're living in Switzerland close to Geneva and all it does is rain. Makes me depressed. Though we're planning a trip to the mountains over the Xmas break to get some snow.
Thanks @kate6214.
Hope everything is ok @momtosam
@goldengirl84 Sorry about the cold. I'm 29 for 14 more days! I've been so distracted by this pregnancy it kind of slipped up on me. Do you have any fun birthday plans?
@mpower0606 Sorry about all the anxiety. I know from my experience that the build up to the milestones is the worst. It's ok to be sad that day. It's ok to grieve for you baby.
@littlecookie (((Hugs)) for having to deal with an appointment and an EDD on the same day. I'm sure that will be difficult. Sorry you are still feeling sick. Hopefully you'll start feeling better as you get further into second tri.
@robotpcr Yay for the gym and for cooking. I hope your appointment goes well so you can have a nice relaxing Thankgsiving!
@kaynix21 I'm glad you're feeling ok. It is weird to have your body changing uncontrollably. I can't wait until I stop looking fat and start looking pregnant. GL with the ultrasound on Friday!
@sunshinedaisies000 I'm glad you are feeling so much better! Congrats on Team Blue!
@MichieU79 I'm glad you are coming out of hiding. It's such a huge secret to keep! GL at your appointment next week.
@Pintobean39 Yay for passing all those milestones! I'm glad the Doppler is giving you peace of mind. That has to be very reassuring.
@mlbrooks619 congrats on announcing. Im sure it was terrifying. I'm not brave enough to do it myself. Sorry you are feeling tired, but I'm glad you've been able to keep up with the baby via the Doppler.
@LaLaLady54 I'm so sorry to hear about you family's loss. I'm sure all the traveling has been stressful especially in such circumstance. I'm glad you are feeling so good. I know that makes it hard for PGAL brain. Congrats on the great scans and appointments
@lladymack (((hugs))) for making past a due date. Those can be very rough. I'm glad your appetite is back. FX your placenta heads north!
EDD: May 26
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 13 weeks/peach
How are you feeling emotionally?
Just hormonal. I went to sonic yesterday to get a tigers blood slush and I got really bent out of shape because they gave me a milk shake instead... They fixed it of course. My hormones are making me feel a bit crazy at times.
Physically? Exhausted. Uncomfortable in my clothes.
Any updates from last weeks check-in :nope
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: I go to a boutique December 6th to see little one!:)
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I have a love/hate relationship with it. We don't get snow often. I love it for a day or two then I just want it to go away!
EDD: 5/16/15
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit:14 weeks and a couple days
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? doing better. We heard the heartbeat on Monday, so that was wonderful. I've been really sick, so that hasn't been wonderful but I'm ok with it.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : just my appointment!
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones we haven't told many yet. We've told a few, so I think the upcoming milestone would be going public, at some point. I'm so not ready. Next appointment isn't for four more weeks.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Looks pretty. I live in CA so I really don't know anything about living in it. We are going to Chicago in January, and I have nothing to wear. Especially maternity. Including shoes, I just don't need those types of clothes!
maggiet19 yay for starting to maybe feel movements. I think that is the only thing making me feel ok about not getting a doppler, is knowing that soon I should be feeling some movement. That will be so comforting.
@HalePop good luck with your appointment tomorrow!
kate6214 yay for hearing the heartbeat!
lladymack hugs and thinking lots of good thoughts.I know what you mean about struggling to be attached. It is tough.
Lalalady54 so sorry for the loss of your FIL! =(
mlbrooks619 I'm so not ready to announce, especially on facebook. It may never happen!
Pintobean39 nice that things get better when you are pregnant.
Still catching up!
This is my first time posting for PGAL check-in. This past summer, my DH moved across the country to start a new job while DD and I stayed behind to sell the house until we could join him. The day he left, I had a MC. A few months later, we got a BFP! I hadn't thought about how hard it would be dealing with the mixed emotions of grieving our loss and being joyful about this baby at the same time. It's been tough, and not something people around me seem to recognize. I think they see this pregnancy as "closure" and that bothers me beyond belief
EDD: May 6
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 16 weeks, Avocado
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?: Physically, I'm feeling pretty good. Although MS is gone, my stomach is still kind of sensitive. Emotionally, I'm feeling hopeful! Previously I've been struggling with a lot of guilt...I think about our angel baby 50 times a day and this baby only once or twice. A part of me was afraid I wouldn't ever bond with this baby. But last night I thought I felt movement! (It's a little early, so it's probably gas or something) I got really excited, and think that once I'm feeling the baby moving on a consistent basis I'll be able to feel more attached to him or her...and I'm really looking forward to that
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Just scheduled our anatomy scan for Dec 10!
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? We moved south from the midwest, so a part of me misses it, especially once Christmas time comes. There's just something about being warm and cozy inside, watching it snow. But, I'm glad not to be in the below-zero temps anymore!
A bit personal of an update not pregnancy related. I have just been dealing with a lot in the last couple weeks with things for my DS. My DS has a pretty severe speech delay and when he had his last evaluation done at the therapy office, I saw he was just not progressing the way any of us had hoped. Not to say it was not working, but just was a bit hard to take that he had not met any of the goals that were set. It made me really start to question if his speech delay was really a piece of something else. It has been a long journey for me to mentally get here, especially with a DH who lives in denial that DS struggles at all. But I am now pursuing having DS evaluated for autism (without support of DH). It has been a fun game of jumping through hoops and tons of phone calls to voice mails with little return calls. So just been struggling getting any footing while trying to navigate this unknown. I finally made some headway this week. And have a couple steps in place to get the ball rolling. Some of this will take about 6 months, as that is how long wait lists are in our area for getting a child evaluated. Which sucks, as 6 months at this age is a huge time frame. We are having him tested for the developmental preschool in December and hopefully he will be able to start there in January after his 3rd birthday. So that is what I have been dealing with. All very overwhelming, as any of you who may have a child a child dealing with various issues probably understands. So that is a little bit of the crazy going on in my life.
EDD: 4.29.15
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 17w / Onion
How are you feeling emotionally? I am hanging in there. This past week I had some bad dreams that we lost our baby. So thankful for our doppler and being able to just reassure myself by taking a listen for our LO's heartbeat. I know a lot of it is I am stressed out about what I wrote above.
Physically? Been really tired and drained. But been feeling pretty good otherwise. Other than getting sick the past couple days with a sinus infection.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : None.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: I have an appointment with OB on the 25th.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I miss it. I do not miss putting chains on tires and being wet while working in it all day. But I do miss it. It just does not feel like winter without a little bit of snow on the ground.
BFP 4/5/09, EDD 12/4/09, m/c 7/31/09

EDD: May 14
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 14w6d...ish
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Good, craving milk non-stop which is kinda funny but it's just so so good!
Any updates from last weeks check-in : Not really, have an appointment next week
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Appointment next week for 16w appointment right before Thanksgiving which is good.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? We still have snow on the ground from last weeks snow and another storm may be on its way. I like snow so it's fun
@kate6214 Thanks!
sunshinedaisies000 glad to hear you are doing better in your 2nd trimester!
@LimaD I am like you where I thought of our three angel babies before. This past week I am finally feeling connected to my baby and not feeling guilty or sad. One of my co-workers said that now would be a good time to start talking to baby and that builds up your love and brings you closer to the baby.
EDD: May 1
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 17 weeks
How are you feeling emotionally? Doing well. After having my ultrasound last week I'm feeling better that baby is still growing strong!
Physically? Fantastic besides being tired and my PANTS not fitting
I'm finally starting to show which is exciting! My students are even noticing and they are super cute and excited.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : We announced on FB on Nov 12 and we are glad to finally let all our friends know. On my last ultrasound the doctor measured the head of the baby and it was 4 days ahead! I hope he/she doesn't have DH huge noggin.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Morphological scan on the 17th of December
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Being from Chicago I enjoy the idea of snow but after living in Boston I'm not quite fond of it. Where I live now it never snows and sometimes I wonder if snow will be better than rain.
Me: 26 DH: 29

How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?
Physically , I feel ok, I'm still tired, and I threw up 2x the other night after a big italian dinner out, which was no fun. My allergies are kicking my tail but other than that I'm seeming to do better.
Emotionally because I'm feeling a little better it is also making me more nervous, I *think* I'm feeling baby some, but it's still not SO noticeable that I'm sure it is and I just keep having worst case scenario thoughts about finding out I've had a m/c and having to deliver my sweet baby
ETA: my due date for my m/c baby is coming up on monday, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones
I have an appointment the weekend of thanksgiving, I'll be very excited to hear the hb again.
GTKY:
I don't mind the snow in small amounts, we don't get any here in phoenix so I do miss it some.
EDD: 5-30
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 12w4d plum my dr had me at 12 weeks last Wednesday, so maybe 13? I'm keeping it at what it's been though.
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?Emotionally, I feel ok. I think I'll worry until I can start to feel it move. Physically, absolutely horrible. This has probably been one of the hardest weeks. It's all worth it though!
Any updates from last weeks check-in:
Had a great NT scan last week. Dr said everything looked great, just waiting for test results.
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones 3 weeks from today is our next ultrasound, we will figure out the sex, so can't wait!
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I'm from Chicago, only remember the fun parts of snow, but still love it! It never snows in Houston, we got ice last year so that was semi-cool? I'm not a fan of freezing temps before thanksgiving in Houston though.
EDD: May 15
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 14w5d/lemon
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Okay in both aspects. I have loved actually seeing my belly pop and feeling little flutters. Also, the fact that i'm working out more nowadays really helps me to feel not so blah.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : none
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Next OB appt is on Monday and i'm excited to see baby again.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I don't really have any feelings about it since i'm never in it. The two times in my life that i've been in it i've been way too cold to enjoy it. It seems like a pain in the butt.
@HalePop it's so crazy that we complain about feeling good. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. I haven't gotten a Doppler for the same reason.
@maggiet19 I hope you can get over your cold soon. Sickness and pregnancy just don't mix well. Feeling the baby move must be so exciting!
@DreamChaser246 Hearing the heartbeat must have been so relieving. Go public when you are ready. There is no timeline.
@LimaD I think people have a hard time understanding loss that haven't been through it themselves. This baby does not replace the ones I lost. Congrats on feeling movement. Such a big step!
@momtosam I really hope it was ok to post when I saw that it had been a while since you logged on. I'm so sorry with everything you are dealing with. As an early childhood teacher I've seen the hoops that parents have to jump through to get their children tested. You are your child's best advocate. Early intervention services are wonderful. I'm surprised that it is taking that long just to get him evaluated. I know here they can do an initial screening fairly quickly. Anyway, I can't imagine going through all that while pregnant. I'm glad your baby is doing well. Sending you lots of T&Ps.
@scubakate Milk is good. Especially as milkshakes! GL with your appointment this week.
@AlexandriaPR sorry your pants aren't fitting. Sounds like it's time to take advantage of some holiday shopping deals. Congrats on going public.
@CTri17 Sorry you are still feeling nauseous. Sending lots of ((hugs)) for you on Monday. EDD can be difficult. GL with your appointment next week.
@chaitealover sorry you are feeling so miserable. My nausea did not let up until a few weeks ago. I'm glad your scan went so well!
@ramy3 Sorry about the nausea, but yay for flutters and kicks!
@kj808 Yay for flutters and baby bumps! I'm glad that the exercise is making you feel good. GL next week with your appointment.
Pregnancy Loss Background (if first time joining us) : I'm jumping in here. We got pregnant in April with our second fresh IVF cycle, but lost the baby/babies at 5w6d. We had a frozen transfer in August that resulted in a positive test. Our first ultrasound showed twins. We learned we lost Baby b at our NT scan. The baby stopped growing at about 9 weeks.
EDD: May 16
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 14
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Physically, I'm great. Nausea is almost gone. Energy is coming back during the day. Emotionally, I'm a wreck. I've decided this week that Baby A is also gone. I'm not big enough yet, there's no way it's still growing, etc. All irrational, but we know that all rational thoughts go out the window after a loss. I have another OB/doppler check on Monday, and I'm prepping myself to hear nothing and find out this pregnancy is over as well.
Any updates from last weeks check-in :
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: OB appointment on Monday
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I Hate it. HATE. And I live in Minnesota. Land of 10 million snowstorms.

EDD: May 9
Gestation in weeks: 15 weeks, 4 days
How are you feeling? Physically I'm still nauseous and tired. I'm peeing constantly- today I had to go every 15 minutes. I went to get checked for a UTI but the preliminary results said no. Oh well. Emotionally I'm OK... Good days and bad days.
Updates: when I went to get checked for a UTI I asked to check the heartbeat too and it was 146. So relieved.
Upcoming appts: Dec 5
GTKY: I HATE snow! DH and I want to move south to get away from winter. In Wisconsin we get a ton and right now its crazy cold already (feels like January weather). I do like how pretty it is when I can enjoy it from inside but I hate being out in it.
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
@momtosam big hugs as you try and navigate everything to get your don what he needs. I hope you're able to see some progress soon.
@CTri17 will be thinking of you on Monday.
@Aimothy welcome to the check in. T&p's your appointment goes well on Monday. I'm so sorry to hear that you're feeling nervous right now. Sending you big creepy Internet hugs.
@momtosam, sorry you are having such a stressful week. I hope you find answers soon.
AlexandriaPR I read a Winnie the Pooh book out loud every evening to help connect with baby. Also my mom read that it stimulates brain growth.
scubakate I craved milk while pregnant with DS. If I remember right I think I ended up drinking a gallon a day towards the end. Of course that is when milk was alot cheaper too!
EDD: May 18
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 14 weeks 4 days/ Lemon
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Emotionally feeling pretty good this week. Physcially I am feeling much better as well. Nausea has gone away pretty much just still tired all the time.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : No updates
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Next appointment is Monday. We also will be scheduling our anatomy scan that day.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? I love snow! I just hate driving in it.

EDD: 5/29
Gestation in Weeks/Fruit: 13w tomorrow!
How are you feeling emotionally? Physically? Still have on/ off nausea, but otherwise feeling better. Emotionally I've been crazy, the new bleeding, stopping my progesterone and now going 4 weeks between appointments is making me batty.
Any updates from last weeks check-in : I missed the last check in as I was convinced I was having another MC.. I had a lot of bleeding, which ended up being a new SCH, yay Lovenox! We did the fetal DNA testing which came back clear, but we didn't get to find out sex as my insurance didn't want to approve testing at all, oh well I 'll happily wait until Jan to find out
I also had Group B Strep in my urine last time so now I get antibiotics at delivery.. This pregnancy is so drastically different then with my DD...
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: Next appt isn't until December 12, also patiently awaiting my doppler so I can check on the baby and let my DD hear the heartbeat.
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? Eh, it's pretty in pictures. It rarely snows in East Texas, and when it does it is more of an icy/snowy disaster... I also loathe the cold so that doesn't help the snow situation..

Sick on your birthday is the worst. One year my whole family got the flu and forgot my birthday. Mine is the second! My December is just too busy for a party. I have a lot of church obligations and I'm in a choral group that has a concert in the middle of the month. My weekends are packed. I'm ok with keeping things quiet. I feel like between Thanksgiving and Christmas it just gets too busy. I usually take the day off work and set up all my Christmas decorations since I travel thanksgiving weekend, but having taken a bunch of days already for appointments I want to just get through the 3 weeks before Christmas and then enjoy my break.
@vballgirl78 I'm glad you got a heartbeat check when you went in for the UTI. I would think all that peeing would be super annoying.
@branders74 I'm glad you are feeling better. GL with your appointment on Monday
@jacks2008 Sorry about all the bleeding. I know the four weeks is a long time, is there a project you can start on to keep you busy? Are you crafty? Or maybe find a pregnancy or birth book to read. Something to keep you busy?

How are you feeling emotionally? Physically?
Emotionally I've made a complete 180. I was a disaster up until 14 weeks. We found out the sex Tuesday and it really cemented that this is happening and I'm allowed to be excited. Physically? Great, just tireddddd
Any updates from last weeks check-in : never checked in (i admit I didn't know what PGAL was), but we did find out the sex which was sooooo funnn
Upcoming Appointments/Milestones: telling our extended families we're expecting using holidays as an excuse ((EDIT))
GTKY: What are your feelings about snow? NOOOOOOOOOO
