where I live, now is the time to bike, hike, etc... summer is SO hot. We spend everyday in the pool! DS loves to swim. Otherwise we  have to stick to mostly indoor stuff. 

JNCPro3130

@holli0801, I'm so excited! I always get a little nervous before an appointment. Your day sounds like mine. I have an appointment with my MW in the morning and then the AS is in the afternoon. I'm really hoping the baby cooperates and we'll know the sex!

holli0801

@JNCPro3130 best of luck!! 

JNCPro3130

@holli0801, You too! I forget... are you guys team green?

holli0801

@JNCPro3130, nope! We found out it’s a girl early! DS is excited for a sister

I will be 19 weeks tomorrow. Currently the size of an artichoke but upgrade to a mango tomorrow.

Just as I was getting energy back I got a killer cold. Luckily I have a few days off and was able to take a two hour nap yesterday.

Any upcoming appointments?
I have one this morning. I am bringing my kids along to hear the heartbeat. 

GTKY:  Let's warm it up. What is your favorite summer activity/thing to do?
I love kayaking. My parents live right on a pond and got two smaller kayaks for the kids last year, in addition to the adult ones so we got to do a bunch of kayaking last year as a family. May be doing less of that this summer.

18+5, May 31st, Artichoke

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 
Nothing new in terms of symptoms or complaints. I had a great OB appointment on Friday. She is being really proactive with trying to avoid preterm labor this time around. I'll be starting progesterone at 20w and going for an additional U/S to measure my cervix at 24w and we'll decide if additional things need to be done at that point. I'm relieved that she is monitoring me closely. Next appointment (January) we are going to look at her call schedule and pick a date for my RCS.

Any upcoming appointments? January 9th is our AS, I can't wait!

GTKY:  Let's warm it up. What is your favorite summer activity/thing to do?
We live close to the Canadian Rockies. I love hiking and camping out there in the summer.

Good luck today @holli0801 and @JNCPro3130 with your scans!

holli0801

Thank you, @doraleigh35! I was very happy all went well and looks good! 

JNCPro3130

@doraleigh35, thank you! Everything went well! LO is measuring right on track! I'm going back in 2 weeks because they couldn't get a good look at her spine. She was comfortable and wouldn't move!

hotmessmamax3

Update to my week- I made a real dinner (nothing processed or from the freezer) and even cleaned the kitchen after! This is huge for me because I have had no energy to cook this entire pregnancy!

JNCPro3130

@hotmessmamax3, sounds like a productive day! I made a nice healthy dinner today and have pulled pork in the crockpot for tomorrow. My kitchen, however, is a disaster.

I'm feeling a bit anxious. My mom ended up in the hospital last night with heart problems. I live a few hours away so I can't get down there until tomorrow. Crossing my fingers that it ends up not being too serious. 

Any upcoming appointments?
I have my A/S on Thursday so on excited for that. 

GTKY:  Let's warm it up. What is your favorite summer activity/thing to do?
I love floating the river. It's one of my favorite summer activities!

doraleigh35

@holli0801 yay for a good scan! @JNCPro3130 congrats on the baby girl, so exciting!

@ashley585 I hope that your Mom is okay!

I first want to apologize for lurking for the part couple weeks and not posting. The app hasn't been working for me and holidays are busy. I made dinner the other night and did dishes too, I think mh was shocked as I haven't really felt like cooking this entire pregnancy. 

Today I had a scare, I was scheduled for my AS today and called to figure out if it was at 2 or 2:30.the receptionist told me it was canceled and I asked why because no one called to tell me this. She called up to the women's wellness dept and they said I was being referred to a major hospital in our state 3.5 hours away and they'd let me know at my midwife appt why. So after crying for a half an hour because they don't tell me anything I called the women's wellness dept and asked if I could move my appointment up seeing how they canceled my AS, they asked why I canceled it I explained what they had told me and she said that's wrong we didn't do that. They reschedule my appointment for earlier and when mh asked the tech she said someone left a note saying I called and wanted to go to this other hospital instead. Everything went well in AS a far as we know,but I had quite the panic today and of course mh being the not passive person demanded answers from everyone we spoke to because I was so upset when he got home. 

Ending on positive because that's what I like to do. Christmas was great, my sister got me a snooggle and it's been amazing. I also found the britax b agile stroller and car seat set I wanted for $160 compared to the $210 they wanted for just the sat seat, and I found the ubbi diaper pail I wanted for $47. I love finding clearance deals and babies r us had some great ones. 

Any upcoming appointments? February 7th and I have no testing or ultrasounds until then so I'm happy about that. This 1.5 hour drive is getting tiring already. 

GTKY:  Let's warm it up. What is your favorite summer activity/thing to do?

Waking up early sitting on the porch with the dogs and the sounds of just the birds before mh had woken for the day. 

holli0801

@jhysmath I would have died! That’s so f’ed up they out you through that!!! ... glad things went well so it’s all good in the end... but wow! 

jhysmath

Tw-loss

@holli0801 I pretty much did, especially with our 1st pregnancy being a loss I was petrified and cried uncontrollably for about a half hour. 

holli0801

@jhysmath oh that’s terrible

19 + 3, 5/29, mango or zucchini! 

What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? 
Feeling pretty good. I’ve been waking up in the morning with my fingers feeling “asleep”. Anyone know if that’s serious or what it could be? 

Raves-starting to plan my shower with my mom and Aunt! Super excited and it’s on my one year wedding anniversary! 

Any upcoming appointments?
A/S Jan 15, next ob appointment Jan 25!

GTKY:  Let's warm it up. What is your favorite summer activity/
 
Probably going to the beach and relaxing with a good book, snacks, and drinks!

@JNCPro3130 and @holli0801

We're due date buddies! Sorry so late, going back to work this week killed my time on here! 

sandbar517

@mmb4532 I don't have personal experience with it, but I've read posts on here and other boards that carpal tunnel is really common in pregnancy, and it sounds like that could be what you're having.  I would mention it to your OB at your next appointment and see what they say.  

mmb4532

Thanks @sandbar517

Ironically, My coworker just had carpal tunnel surgery during break. I was just worried it was something worse..I worry about preeclampsia. 

jhysmath

@mmb4532 my arms, hands, and fingers fall asleep every night if I don't flip sides often. I read it was pregnancy related carpal tunnel and just went with that. Now that my hips hurt while I'm sleeping I've been flipping over more often and haven't noticed it as much.
