Re: Group 2 Check-in (Aug. 8-14) w/o 5/13
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: Aug. 11/ 27+1
Baby is the size of a(n): Lettuce/Head of Cauliflower
What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): Blue
Upcoming Appointments: Next check up is at the end of the month.
How are you feeling?: Relieved...my 1 hour GD test was elevated so I had to do a 3 hour test. Luckily all those results came back within normal limits. I was really stressed about the possibility of having GD and all the added appointments and complications that come with it, so needless to say I am so relieved.
Rants/Raves: Rave- my work shower is now scheduled and coming up in just a couple weeks! Super excited to formally celebrate baby's arrival. Rant- I am getting so sick of all the bathroom trips that come with pregnancy. We're on vacation now and it is super annoying having to make a bathroom trip every hour or so, especially on a plane.
Questions: We did our hospital's childbirth class which touched on newborn care, but I'm considering taking a newborn care class through another area hospital (our hospital doesn't offer a newborn care class). Would it be worth it to take a newborn care class?
GTKY: (Hopefully this one hasn't been done yet, but if it has I apologize) What is one trait, personality or physical, that you hope baby gets from your partner? What is one trait that you hope baby gets from you?
I hope baby gets DH's sense of humor. At our childbirth class, DH said he hopes baby gets my patience, so I'll go with that.
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/16 (to be born on 8/9 or 8/14 via RCS), 26+3
Baby is the size of a(n): bundle of Kale ... ? (bleh!)
What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): pink
Upcoming Appointments: Glucose/28wk appt on 31st
How are you feeling?: pretty decent
Rants/Raves: n/a
Questions:
GTKY: (Hopefully this one hasn't been done yet, but if it has I apologize) What is one trait, personality or physical, that you hope baby gets from your partner? What is one trait that you hope baby gets from you?
I definitely want DD2 to get DH's awesome coloring (ruddy skin that looks great pale, but tans well and easily), DD1 has it and I'm sooooooo jealous (I have more olive-ish skin that looks jaundiced when pale, but decent once a tan is built up) - superficial, I know
I hope that DD2 - for better or worse - gets my ADHD (DD1 is starting to show signs, too) ... I think it makes life so much more exciting and creates an interesting life-outlook that is passed over by so many who fall so neatly into "normal." It doesn't come without its challenges, but I feel I have the resources and ability to help them navigate obstacles and hurdles as they appear.
Me - anovulatory, non-Insulin PCOS, DH - low end of "normal" sperm count
IUI#1 - 02/15 - Cancelled due to scrubbed sperm count <1MM
IVF#1 - 08/15 - 13x5-day blastocysts (ranging from AA-BB, most are 5 or 6), not PGS, on ice
FET#1 - 10/15 - 1 emb - BFP (DD 07/16) (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
FET#2 - 07/17 - 1 emb - BFN (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
FET#3 - 08/17 - 1 emb - BFN (estrace + PIO sesame oil + prometrium)
FET#4 - 10/17 - 2 emb - BFN (changed to estrace + prometrium because of allergic reaction to PIO sesame oil)
ERA Testing - 12/17 - window moved (-1 day)
FET#5 - 03/18 - 2 emb - BFN (estrace + prometrium, ERA-timing used)
Karyotype Testing - 04/18 - Negative (we're ok)
FET#6 - 06/18 - 2 emb - BFN (estrace + prometrium, ERA-timing used)
FET#7 - 10/18 - 2 emb - BFN (estrace + prometrium, ERA-timing used)
FET#8 - 11/18 - 2 emb - BFP; looks like one baby is going to make it, DD is due 8/16 (though likely to be 8/9)
Est Due Date / Weeks + Days: 8/12
Baby is the size of a(n): lettuce? Really?
What team are you on (Blue, Pink, or Green): Pink!!
Upcoming Appointments: 5/16, a little nervous it’s my GD rest and going over our most recent and stressful AS
How are you feeling?: I can finally report that I FEEL GREAT! Mostly every once in a while I get hit with morning sickness although it’s getting fewer and further between but I feel fortunate that I’m not dealing with a lot of other symptoms yet right now it just feels good to be pregnant.
Rants/Raves: My rave is definitely that I get to feel good right now!
Questions: I’ll probably ask this in another thread too but I’m curious about everyone’s diets I read somewhere about Meghan Markles perfect pregnancy diet and now I’m feeling like a failure in that department
GTKY: (Hopefully this one hasn't been done yet, but if it has I apologize) What is one trait, personality or physical, that you hope baby gets from your partner? What is one trait that you hope baby gets from you?
I had a dream that baby girl had my husbands big beautiful eyes. We both have hazel but he just has the coolest irises. I hope she gets his steadfastness. And if by some miracle she got red hair thatd be pretty cool. MH only has some red in his beard so not likely but a girl can dream!
I hope she gets my...independence, boldness? Kind of. I don’t know how my mom had patience for me sometimes but I feel like it has served me well in adulthood to be content with exactly who I am and what I want to do. I feel like I’m a confident woman and I want her to be confident too.
