Re: STM+ Check-in | 5.17.17
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Eating a lot and often waking in the middle of the night, but otherwise doing fine.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I am having a hard time remembering. For the twin pregnancy, I was having a lot of Braxton Hicks at this point and was very uncomfortable, but for DS's pregnancy, I have no idea!
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Baby #4 is a boy, so we are split at 2 girls and 2 boys. I didn't really have a preference, andhtis is already more kids than either DH or I had ever planned, so I am content.
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? DH and I went to a resort in Cancun a few years ago. I have been much cooler places and done cooler things, but that trip sticks out to me because (1) a vendor that DH works with gave us the trip, meaning there was no financial commitment on our part and I didn't have to plan any of it, and (2) it is the only "big" trip that DH and I have been on since the kids were born. So, it was definitely the perfect circumstance.
Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17
High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I've started waking up a lot at night too @aprilsarahjune (boo!). Heartburn, but thanfully usually only in the evenings and Tums usually take care of it.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Still about the same. I did have more heartburn with DD#1, but I won't say that it isn't coming lol. It's just not unbearable yet.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? So excited that we have another little girl on the way! We are thrilled that DD#1 will have a sister!
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? I went to England/Scotland in college and loved it, but it would have been so much better with different people lol, so I guess that one is out. Honestly, I'm going to say our trip to Disney this past December! DD was a great age! She had so much fun and it was fun watching her experience it all for the "first" time (she went when she was a baby lol). It was mine and DH's third Disney trip, but I was pregnant the first time, and DD was 8 months old the second, so I had a little more freedom to ride things and not have to stop and nurse every little bit. We really had a lot of fun! I can't wait to go back with this little girl is 3 or 4
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Nothing really, feeling pretty good. Just super hungry, all the time!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Similar now that I'm out of first tri.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Nada, just so freakin' anxious for my AS this afternoon!
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? When I was 21 a friend and I spent two weeks in Spain and Italy. It was so fun, great bonding for us, and it really helped me develop my independence. And all the amazing food!
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Just tired right now, so I'm glad to finally *hopefully* be past the puking stage.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Harder. I don't know if it's because I have DD running around or not, but I don't feel like that's the reason. Maybe I'm just older.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? I mentioned in the appointments thread that they told me my blood pressure is getting a little too low for their comfort so I've been ordered to stuff my face more. Which I'm not particularly complaining about. I checked my medical records online and I've only gained a pound so far...but my doctor didn't say anything about that, just my blood pressure. Hopefully that'll pick up soon. But it was amazing being able to see LO on the ultrasound this morning, swimming around and seeing that everything looked good! Huge relief. Now we might actually go public!
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? It sounds cheesy, but I think our honeymoon. We went to a resort in St. Lucia that was right between the Piton mountains. We had an incredible time, had some crazy adventures and met another couple that have become lifelong friends. They have a little boy who's 3 and we have a little girl who's 3 - we met up for the first time since our honeymoons last fall and basically our kids fell in love. So we're already planning the wedding because how cool of a story would that be? Parents met on their honeymoons, kids meet almost 7 years later exactly to the week and fell in love (seriously, they could not stop holding hands and giggling at each other)....so in another 20 years we're planning their wedding in St. Lucia, where it all began. Look for our story on Lifetime.
BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
2. Feeling good. Usual tired and feeling achey. Also waking up at least once to pee and half the time I have troubles falling not back asleep. I'll take any of that over the first trimester funk any day though!
3. Probably a bit more tired and achey now than I was at this point last time.
4. I'm eating Listeria for lunch and it's yummy!
5. Our honeymoon to Jamaica. It has been the only "big" trip my husband and I have ever taken alone together. It was a wonderful week and all inclusive is the way to go!

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Hungry!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Identical? My bump is even the same size. I thought I'd show earlier the second time around.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
Pretty sure I've been feeling movement the past few days, so I'm a little less anxious now. It will still be nice to hear the HB at my appt this afternoon.
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had?
Before we were married DH and I went on a surf trip to Nicaragua with a few other friends. The house where we stayed was amazing and the group dynamic was so fun.
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? nausea, tired, headaches
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? harder
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? had an appointment today and heard the HB
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? all of them? haha. i feel like i was put on Earth to vacation so i do it right

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Ugh restless sleep! Besides that , just some RLP and hunger!
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? Finally getting to be pretty much the same.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? 7 more days ( and a bunch of hours since we're doing an evening live FB reveal) until we know what this little nugget is!
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? Honestly, al my vacations where my girls were included are my favorites. I never got to travel much as a kid and want to be able to make sure my girls are given experiences more than things.

2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Headaches are virtually gone since moving out of the moldy office!! I'm on top of the world.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? It's supposed to rain Saturday, our reveal is an outdoor activity....
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? We honeymooned to Punta Cana, DR. That so far tops them all. The resort was great and it was amazing after so much stress to just be with DH. I've liked our trips with DD, but she's still small so they are a lot of work. I'm sure when the kids are older we will have more fun and memorable vacations. This is why I refuse to do the whole Disney World thing until they are old enough to understand and be active.
my due date is 10/2 if i look at the paperwork or 10/3 because thats what the ob says every time
2- i am feeling very hungry. And very emotional this week.
3- i am eating alot more meat than with DDs pregnancy, im eating alot more food
4- i hate pregnancy hormones.
This week ive been crying alot. I was sleeping DD in my arms today and i was just looking at her and all of the sudden i started crying
5- my best vacation was our honeymoon. We had out honeymoon about a year and a half after we married. We went by ourselves and left DD with my mom for a week. We went to punta cana, DR to an all inclusive resort. It was very fun and we had a blast.
@jesssssrg Make sure you take care of yourself. If you haven't already, talk to your doctor if you are feeling overwhelmed. Postpartum depression is a bit of a misnomer, and can actually start during pregnancy. (Perhaps they are tears of joy or ordinary tears - I shouldn't assume. But just want to make sure you take care of yourself for DD and new LO's sake, as well as yours!)
@carries2018 I love to travel but DH is a bit of a homebody and just doesn't value it as highly as I do. I want all of the vacations!
Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17
High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections
1) How far along are you/when is your due date? 19w1d / Oct 10th
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good other than some insomnia and RLP
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? I can’t remember ever having RLP last time, but it hasn’t been too bad this time, so I can’t complain
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? At our scan on Monday they confirmed that we’re definitely having a girl…already ordered her first girly outfit
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? RLP and morning sickness thanks to Makena side effects. I have a terrible cold that I think is probably bronchitis at this point so that's awesome, it's all settled in my lungs. And to top it off, I came down with pink eye in one eye on Mother's Day which is thankfully going away, only 3.5 more days of antibiotics. So overall, if the puking and coughing would stop, I'd be a happy camper.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? It's mostly the same other than the new found morning sickness.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Just still waiting for the AS on the 30th. Also I hate being told that I'm high risk. I know that I am, I just don't need the doctors and nurses to remind me of it every time I contact them for something. I know it's petty, I just feel like my body fails me and there's nothing I can do about it and I don't want to be reminded.
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? Probably our honeymoon in Cancun. It was all inclusive which I loved, plus we did all the things while we were there which was so fun. Snorkeling, scuba diving, island tours, Mayan ruins, I loved all of it.
Also, @aprilsarahjune did you ever start Makena injections? How's it going?
16+3, 10/30
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
I'm feeling great, almost not pregnant and it makes me worry a little
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
I think this is similar to my first DD's in that I really haven't grown a big bump and feel fine. She was born in March and there were some people we told in January who were shocked and didn't guess
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
I wish I could feel the baby kicking more, it's my favorite part of pregnancy. And why does there always have to be drama? Stop feeding the Llama people (not directed here, but IRL)
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had?
Hands down, our Mediterranean Cruise! It was an amazing cruise line, all the ports were beautiful and interesting and it was just magical to spend that week with DH!
Rachel and Jeff Married 5.29.05
Jason is 8
Elizabeth is 6
Katherine is 18 months
19weeks 3 days. Due Oct 9
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling?
Overall feeling pretty good! I am having some trouble sleeping at night, but I guess that is to balance out my previous 2 pregnancies where I slept amazingly throughout both. (karma!)
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies?
Sleeping a bit worse. I feel like I am bigger than in previous pregnancies at this point, but then other times I'm not sure. DS1 told someone the other day that I am having twins and they didn't question it before I corrected him...so maybe I am bigger haha
4) Rant/Rave/Questions?
I was supposed to have my anatomy scan on Tuesday but had to reschedule to next Tuesday. It is eating at me that I could have potentially known already but still have to wait a few more days. I was team green for both previous pregnancies and I was quite patient throughout, but this time I want to know if we are having another son or if we will be having our first daughter.
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had?
I really can't pick. I enjoyed some travelling with my husband before we had kids which was nice because in retrospect it was so relaxing haha But travelling with our kids has been great too because it's been awesome to see them experiencing new things and to be surprised at how much they remember/learned on trips when they talk about them a long time after.
2) What symptoms are you having? How are you feeling? I'm about 2 weeks between feeling nauseous and puking. I am starting to feel like an old lady. My body feels so week. walking upstairs leaves me breathless. I am feeling incapable already.
3) How does it compare to your previous pregnancy/pregnancies? So much harder. this answer never changes.
4) Rant/Rave/Questions? Were you on a BMC on here previously, and if yes which group? I was a June '15 mum.
5) GTKY: What's the best vacation you ever had? Honeymoon. It was so luxurious. Maybe a one in a life time experience because we stayed at a ridiculous resort and I doubt we'll splash out again like that.
