Re: PGAL Check In 3/13
How big is baby? Romaine lettuce - I'm guessing a little over 6lbs now since the last growth scan.
Appointments coming up? NST tomorrow plus BPP and Pre-op appointment with my OBGYN on Friday.
How are you feeling emotionally/physically?Emotionally, good. Still have moments of concern on how my daughter will handle all this. Physically, I guess I should be pretty thankful, I really feel decent. Tired, yes and everything is a slow go, but I haven't gained too much weight, no swollen ankles, very rarely have heartburn and for the most part sleep pretty well.
What's the next milestone you're looking forward to? Just counting down now, 3/27 is only two weeks away. I am looking forward to the pre-op appointment with the OBGYN to go over all the details of checking into the hospital and c-section.
Rants/Raves/Questions: It's surreal that this baby is going to be here soon. I'm trying to remember each kick and just try my best to enjoy these last moments of pregnancy, because for me this is it. It's crazy though, even though I KNOW we will not try for a 3rd child, there's still that lingering "well maybe if it happens really quick" LOL. But there's noway, I'll be 40 in July and after having my daughter, the two loses, and this baby, I've been pregnant or have been obsessed with pregnancy for the past 4 years, and I'm tired. I'm ready to move on to the next phase of my life, enjoying my family exactly how it is.
GTKY: If you had an extra hour each day that you HAD to use just for yourself, what would you use it on? Ooo, I like this question. There's so many things I'd do. If I had to pick one it would be to continue learning how to sew with my sewing machine.
How big is baby? Pineapple. Five pounds ish.
Appointments coming up? No doctor's appointments, but I have a prenatal massage scheduled for Friday and I need to call and preregister at the birthing center.
How are you feeling emotionally/physically? Emotionally it's been a little rough because I've had so many baby showers and the nursery looks like a nursery and I keep having to tamp down the fear that rises up and makes me afraid she won't make it. Even though I know she's doing really well. It's irrational, but PGAL brain always is! Physically not too bad. I'm exhausted and the reflux makes it so hard to eat, and I'm getting up to pee twice as often at night. But overall I feel pretty good.
What's the next milestone you're looking forward to? Term! Or leaving my job. The job thing is huge and will be a crazy hard adjustment. But it's a big step I'll be glad to have crossed.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm so excited the nursery is almost ready. I'm so excited for my first ever professional massage. I feel overwhelmed by the love I've received from people for this baby through the baby showers we've had. We have our last one tomorrow!
GTKY: If you had an extra hour each day that you HAD to use just for yourself, what would you use it on? I would either write, or sleep. Haha.
How big is baby? The size of a banana. S/He weighed 13 oz at my a/s last week
Appointments coming up? Nothing this week but thanks for the reminder to schedule a massage @HGRich
How are you feeling emotionally/physically? Good on both levels. Feeling the baby move fairly often has really put my mind at ease, as did seeing the good report of the a/s.
What's the next milestone you're looking forward to? Next week we have our fetal echo and hoping the the LO will cooperate and get us some profile shots!
Rants/Raves/Questions: Why can't maternity jeans just stay up? I'm tired of walking around feeling like my crotch is halfway to my knees. I've heard that once i get bigger it gets better but that isn't helping me now!! Rant over.
GTKY: If you had an extra hour each day that you HAD to use just for yourself, what would you use it on? Right now I'd use it to read and hope I don't fall asleep. I'm trying to read more but finding it is taking me twice as long because I keep falling asleep during it!

How far along are you? 21 weeks
How big is baby? Large carrot
Appointments coming up? Was hoping to have my 2nd A/S follow-up this week since I'm going out of town for work next week, but I couldn't get in until the end of next week. Bummer.
How are you feeling emotionally/physically? Emotionally I'm doing pretty well. Physically I'm ok, having a LOT of gas.
What's the next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling regular movement. I still don't know that I've *really* felt the baby yet with all this gas. I have an anterior placenta so I know that contributes but I want a real definitive kick!
Rants/Raves/Questions: Rant: Snow! It's March 13th. We had the warmest February on record. What happened? Rave: I'm going to San Diego for a conference next week, so looking forward to better weather there! Question: Anyone have any tips for getting baby to move during ultrasound? Tech gave me a sucker, had me pee, walk around, move around, jostled my baby and nothing! She suggested I drink some pop or something sugary before my next appointment. I think this is common, but it's giving me anxiety every time I go!
GTKY: If you had an extra hour each day that you HAD to use just for yourself, what would you use it on? Right now, I'd probably use it for extra sleep! I should use it to read though, I used to read soooo much, but ever since I had morning sickness that felt like motion sickness, I really slowed down. I really should get to my stack of baby books at some point!
@CPR79 I've heard OJ does the trick too!

how big is baby? Not sure, bigger than an A avocado I think.
Appointments? I have my 18 weeks this Friday at 18+2. Just a boring check up.
How are are you feeling? Great, 2nd trimester coasting until I hit the 3rd trimester.
Milestones coming up? My 20 weeks scan. I have a Doppler but can feel baby now so haven't used it as much. I worry but only because I wonder how big the little baby is in there. I'd guess it is growijg and doing well because I am? Still worried tho!!
GTKY: If I have energy for this "extra hour" I would say stay up and watch my girly shows. My flip or flop and mindless HGTV Fixer Upper shows, love um. I know, the laziest answer ever but I'm tired today. This snow made my commute into NYC treacherous today.
