Any appointments? Questions?: OB this Friday, then hospital open house on Saturday.
Rants/Raves?: Rave: Mom just moved to town, so moving into her new house officially tomorrow. So excited to have grandma 10 mins away!
How are you feeling?: Feeling good, except my feet are slowing me down. Bought 2 kinds of heel support...so far a lot better. But starting to feel "big". I feel like I need to roll out of bed and take a lot to get up when I sit on the floor.
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? We keep telling people just to get the baby stuff. Think at the age where if I want something, I just go get it, so not much I want / need. Though, I think my glucose test will be right after xmas, so passing that will be on a list! lol
TTC #1 since April 2015 June 2016 - CP 2017 - Medicated Cycles & IUI's IVF w/ PGS - January 2018 FET #1 - April 2018 - BFN ERA Cycle May / June 2018 ERA Biopsy June 2018 ~ Results: receptive (no change) FET #2 - July 2018 - BFP Beta #1 - 137 Beta #2 - 410 U/S #1 7wk1d - HB 144 U/S #2 9w1d HB 166 Anatomy Scan 1st 11/2/18 2nd AS 11/19 EDD March 28, 2019 Baby Girl born 3/26/19
Any appointments? Questions?: 24 week appt is next week.
Rants/Raves?: Going back to work yesterday was hard. I don’t feel like I have the energy my littles deserve right now.
How are you feeling?: Pretty good! I love being able to feel daily baby movements now!
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? I would also be perfectly content if people got us things from our baby registries. However, both my mom and MIL insisted on Christmas lists with other things. I’m just glad I can use pregnancy as an excuse for my MIL to not buy me clothes this year. 😆 She is always generous with giving us money though which will be helpful for when baby comes.
Any appointments? Questions?: 24 week appointment next week
Rants/Raves?: My husband is out of town again which I am sad about. He has been home for only 3 weeks and before that was gone for 2.5 months. We will only be apart for 2 weeks this time so that’s not bad...just getting tired of being apart.
How are you feeling?: feeling good still. Love feeling baby move more and am excited that DH will be able to feel her moving soon
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? Mostly asking for baby things or stuff we need around the house (ladder, air compressor). Only thing I’m asking for myself is a hair straightener as mine is definitely on its last leg.
Any appointments? Questions?: 24wk next Friday, that month seems to have gone fast! Haven't felt baby move all that much lately but I did read on the bump week update that they're sleeping a lot right now? Keeping my fingers crossed for a good appointment next week
Rants/Raves?: Only rant is my continued aversion to reheated meat, it's really throwing off eating leftovers from Thanksgiving!
How are you feeling?: Not pregnant? Is that a feeling? Like I've for sure got a growing bump but it's just that weird state right now where I have energy, I (mostly) eat what I want, and I haven't been plagued with too many aches and pains while trying to move around.
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? Diapers! LOL but seriously I've told my family NB/1/2 diapers because we didn't cloth diaper and we're going to need them so why not get things we're going to definitely use? Other than that my other ask is adjustable dumbbells so I can work out at home with more options than I have now. I know these are expensive but if they are my one gift from either my parents or my grandma (who overspends for the holidays) then I'll be a happy camper. I'm terrible at asking for things because I, too, have reached the point of life if I really really want something I save up and go after it myself. Except those dumbbells, haven't brought myself around to buying them yet.
Any appointments? Questions?: Glucose test next visit on Dec 18
Rants/Raves?: I'm afraid I've got pmd, but my support belt will be here this weekend, so yay!
How are you feeling?: Fighting off a head cold still, daughter has one too. Tired.
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? Like many, diapers. I could use some new house shoes/slippers as well. Other than that, I need to purge my house, not put more things in it. Haha.
Any appointments? Questions?: glucose test in a couple weeks
Rants/Raves?: I just got my maternity pillow in the mail! I was holding out, telling myself this was the moment for all those decorative pillows that drive my husband crazy...but I finally gave in and now I can’t wait to go to bed tonight!
How are you feeling?: Good most of the time. Still getting headaches and acid reflux was pretty bad after all that Thanksgiving food and leftovers but I was feeling much better today.
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? I feel like all I need is connected to baby. But Mom pretty much said baby gifts will be given at a shower, not Christmas, so I should ask for something for me. Which is nice, in a way. Only now I need to think of something I need/want that I haven’t already given in and bought myself!
For those due March 24-31 (and a few early April ladies too!)
Due date: March 25
Any appointments? Questions?: Next appointment is December 11. I'll have my 1 hr GTT then as well.
Rants/Raves?: Check the weekly FFFC thread lol
How are you feeling?: Nervous about lots of changes and my GTT coming up.
GTKY: What’s on your Christmas list? I already got myself a new Canon DSLR camera and I can't wait to break it out. Peanut butter cookies are also on my list!
