Re: FTM Check In 4/4
Any new symptoms or changes since last checkin? Occasional back pain, feeling full really easily, constipation (which I never had in the beginning so this is new) but nothing much else. Just cruisin' right along.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? I haven't had an appointment in about 6 weeks, which seems odd to me, but that's the OB's schedule. I'm assuming it's about to change though since my next appointment is a week from today and I'll be entering the 3rd trimester and having appointments closer together.
Rants/raves? I FINALLY started buying stuff for the nursery this weekend, and we picked up a paint sample from Lowes. Things are slowly coming together and we have an increasing amount of things on our to-do list. We also signed up for a birthing class that is a few weeks long (once a week), and a breastfeeding class. We are still exploring options for a CPR class, but we are definitely taking one of those too.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? None really today.
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly?
Hmmm the age old question. Probably power of invisibility. I am very introverted so this would make my life so much easier.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Thankfully no! Gallbladder has been quiet and reflux is under control with Zantac+Tums. Otherwise have been feeling good overall.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Not yet - glucose screening test tomorrow and will see OB. She'll also check a blood count which I'm interested to see since I switched to an iron-free prenatal to keep my tummy calm (approved by her).
Rants/raves? Finally feel like I have a bump! Could see it without clothes at 21 weeks but only now can people tell when I'm clothed and at work. Took six months but it's finally there!
Questions for FTM, or STM+? STM+, was your labor similar to your mother's labor? i.e.. if hers was fast or slow, was yours the same?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Definitely invisibility! Partly because I
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Well I'm randomly dizzy today. Not really new, just hasn't happened for awhile. Not really sure what the problem is.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Nope, not for awhile.
Rants/raves? Rave: Husband has been really awesome, as always, giving me massages and going on walks with me. Rant: same baby shower nonsense, and my SMIL seems to not even be talking to me at this point. Which I like TBH, but since she's technically the second host of the shower, this could get really awkward really fast.

GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Fly. Invisibilty is cool and all, but the prospect of never having to drive a car and deal with other drivers again is much more enticing. Even though I'm terrified of heights and hate flying in airplanes.

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Nothing I haven't complained about before. I'm sick, again, or it's allergies. I have no idea. All I know is that I'm freaking miserable today and I didn't get 1 solid hour of sleep last night.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? I think I've done a check-in since my last appointment. Massage, glucose test and blood-work tomorrow.
Rants/raves? We finished building our house in March '16 but we still need a lot of fill. We're getting a crap-ton of rain today on top of all the snow that just melted so my lawn literally looks like a mud pit. Ugh. Why does dirt have to cost so much money?! Honestly. I need to spend thousands on dirt to finish my lawn. *sigh*
Questions for FTM, or STM+? I had one but do you think I can remember? Nope. I might update if my question happens to grace my brain with its presence.
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? I really have no reason to hide from anyone so I would definitely say the ability to fly. The places I could go!!!

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Got a case of trigger finger this morning and it freaked me out. I was trying to open my hand and my middle finger kept closing in toward my palm. Freak-ay. I also have been waking up with sore arms in the middle of the night and the back pain is coming in slowly. I had a blood sugar crash and got all shaky and had to eat to make it go away. I've also been seeing stars randomly. I have lots to talk to my OB doc about on Wednesday.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Third and hopefully last A/S was Monday and the were able to clear everything, except her aorta which they saw, but didn't get good pictures of it, so still not 100% though they don't anticipate any issues.
Rants/raves? Rave - One of my best friends had her baby on 4/2 and she was so tiny and precious and squeaky I wanted to cry!!!
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? I think I'd like to be able to fly. Invisibility would be cool, but being able to fly I'd be my own form of transportation and could travel wherever I wanted whenever I wanted. I'm going to daydream about that ALL day today.
@kat0607 So exciting that you're starting on the nursery stuff!
@chamomile-2 I still feel like some clothes just make me look super fat. I tried to put on a tank top with a sweater this morning and looked so BULBOUS. Not even pregnant. Glad your bump looks like a bump! If I don't wear a maternity shirt with ruching I need a sign that say wide load because it definitely doesn't make me look pregnant. I almost had a meltdown this morning because I wanted to wear something different than a maternity top. :'(
ETA - Had to change to 24+1 because apparently I thought it was Wednesday. Thanks pregnancy brain which apparently doesn't exist except that it does.

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Still having back pain. SO freaking itchy all the time.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Had my GD test Friday. Just found out I passed!!
Rants/raves? I am struggling so much on names. I am way too indecisive for this. lol I have also just generally been feeling like crap recently. I think I am going to schedule a prenatal massage for this weekend.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Fly. Traffic is annoying and I hate driving. Plus, I am super nosy, so I would definitely get myself in trouble if I had the power of invisibility lol.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Have a rash on my stomach from using different lotion. It's getting better just irritating. And today my head is all plugged up and I can't get my ears to pop! Everything sounds like I'm underwater...
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? None until next week.
Rants/raves? I really miss the sun. 6 days until Vegas!
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? I dislike flying so I'd have to go with Invisibility. However, I really like your thought @kerils of never having to drive or deal with other drivers; that would be amazing!

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in?
Itchy, weight gain, etc
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go?
None
Rants/raves?
Rants: amazon fresh disowned me today.
raves: Sold an outfit i had made earlier this yearI wasn't going to fit into anytime soon for 200 so yay.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
What should I look in a humidifier for the nursery?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly?
invisibility.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Just lots of belly growth! Really hard to put shoes on!
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? I had one about two weeks ago - not sure if that was before or after the last one. But it went well! All my numbers look great.
Rants/raves? Just hunger and I'm so bored with food. I want fruit to snack on, but I want apples and grapes and those KILL me bc of the reflux.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? I don't think so. Unless someone wants to tell me how a cervix check feels? I expect discomfort.
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Ooh invisibility would be fun, but I'll go with fly. Unless I can have both. If I could pick a power, I'd pick telekenisis.

Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? insomnia is my new friend. I'll sleep for a few hours and then wake up at like 3am. It's so annoying!
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Yep. Unfortunately, I failed 2/4 blood tests in my 3-hour GD screening. So...I guess I'm high risk now!
Rants/raves? Okay. This is more of a whine than a rant, but whenever I saw pregnant women I would go out of my way to help if they looked like they needed a hand. Apparently that's not universal. I was struggling to get my bag in the overhead compartment on the plane yesterday and no one even offered to help.
Questions for FTM, or STM+? Not this week!
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? This is really tough. The introvert in me is saying invisibility... but I love feeling wind against my face (I LOVE swings) and I imagine flying would feel amazing with fantastic views. Okay. Flying it is. If I wanted to be invisible I could always fly out of sight!
Pregnancy is so glamorous!!
edited bc butt =/= but
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Not really. Still the same hip pain, swelling, and feeling generally large.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Not for a few weeks
Rants/raves?
Rant: This is definitely pregnancy rage talking, but my husband gets up super early and I try to go back to sleep for an hour or so... this morning it sounded like he was clanking his spoon on his cereal bowl on purpose (even though I know he wasn't). I would alllllmost doze off and then clank-clank-clank-CLANK. I wanted to storm out and pour his cereal into a plastic bowl for him. I didn't. I know that's a really stupid rant, but I just wanted to sleep
Rave: We are leaving for our babymoon this weekend!
Questions for FTM, or STM+? not at the moment
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Probably fly. I also would get really nosy and listen in on things I shouldn't if I could be invisible. I'd definitely fly to every country!
@ginger1228 cervix checks are verrrry uncomfortable. Thankful I will only have to experience it once this time.
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? mid back pain, which mostly comes on at the end of the day.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? I had my 1 hour GTT this morning. I should have the results tomorrow.
Rants/raves?
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Fly. When you live in my area and have to commute in with all the other crazies, always choose "fly".
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? Had a stomach bug yesterday which was no fun. Luckily I managed to keep myself hydrated enough that I didn't need IV fluids. I consider that a win.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Yep - it was a quick and easy one. Things are going fine.
Rants/raves?
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? Fly! I often have dreams about flying.
I've been commenting on here but I haven't actually answered any of the questions:
How far along are you? 26+2
Any new symptoms or changes since last check in? I feel huge and my belly's getting in the way. I'm pretty sure I felt lightening crotch yesterday, and experienced baby's feet in my ribs for the first time today.
Any appointments since last check in? How did it go? Midwife appointment last week went well and they put me on hardcore iron pills. I have my Gestational Diabetes test soon :-(
Rants/raves? My aversion to eggs is gone! I'm so happy to not be grossed out by them anymore. Getting protein will be a little easier in the third trimester I think.
Questions for FTM, or STM+?
GTKY: Would you rather have the power of invisibility or be able to fly? I'd love the power to be invisible and sneak around. I'd probably turn into a machiavellian schemer and alter world politics with my invisible spying abilities.
@ginger1228 I dont remember my cervix checks being that bad just uncomfortable.
@BusyZee We've always done the cool mist humidifiers. I like that they dont get hot so I dont have to worry about the kids getting burned if they get too close.
