Re: Last Friday ticker change on TB - 2/6
I'm sad that this is ending! I definitely understand though - our group is pretty tiny now...
How far along are you? 17/Onion
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Emotionally - good, physically, still having back pain and leg numbness. I just ordered a heating pad from amazon that I should get today so I plan to try that on my lower back tonight.
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparation, etc.? We had our designer and contractor come out last night to finalize the plans for our master closet extension into another bedroom that will be the new nursery. I can't wait to be done with all of this so I can paint and start buying furniture for the nursery!
Upcoming milestones or appointments? I had an appointment on Tuesday - they took some blood and used the Doppler. Heartbeat is 149!
Do you need T&P's for anything? I have been planning for the baby like everything is going to be okay but in the back of my mind, it still doesn't feel real. I hope that I reach a point in this pregnancy that I can enjoy it and start to bond with the baby.
QOTW: How many children do you and your partner want and why? Has your TTC journey and loss(es) changed that plan at all? We have talked about 2, but as long as we have one healthy baby, I am good. I hope that our previous loss was a fluke because we had a really hard time with it and didn't ttc for over two years because we were not sure we could handle that pain again.
@snlinega - Glad things are going well! I hope you'll share your nursery when it's done. The professional designer sounds awesome. We're doing all that ourselves, and it is NOT our skill set! It started to feel real for me, and I started to enjoy the pregnancy, after the a/s. That's got to be soon for you, right?
