**Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I put it up once, but didn't see it show up.** 

This is a weekly check in for those Pregnant After Loss and due in June 2011.

Congrats to those who have reached their V-day milestone! The rest of us don?t have much longer!

Welcome MNguardcouple to PGAL!

Lauralizabee- sorry to hear you?re uncomfortable. I hope your doctor can help you out today!

 

I?ve paired up Labor Buddies in the spreadsheet below. ShandaB, I haven?t forgotten about you! There was an odd number, so if nobody else joins the check-in, I will be assigning a threesome at a later date. 

If you are new to the group, it?s not too late to ask for help finding a Labor Buddy!

QOTWBR:

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? We're doing great.  No news to report other than a lot of movement.  We have our regular doctor's appointment tonight.

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far? DH is working on the paint today; first coat is up and looks fabulous.  We have all the furniture now that the dresser was delivered this morning.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why? I would love to go to Italy to see all the historical sites.  I'm a huge nerd when it comes to history and the Renaissance period was one of my favorite parts of history class.

1) Well, I'll be seeing the doc this afternoon for whatever it is that's ailing me. In general, she's still absolutely nuts in there. I told a friend yesterday that I feel REALLY bruised from the inside...she seemed to know what I was talking about, so that made me feel a little better. My next regular appointment will be the GTT next Wednesday. I'm not too worried about that.

2) I wish. We've been house-hunting since December and keep getting burned. We have the furniture, but no place to put it in our 1-br condo. We're making another offer on a house tomorrow, so FXed that something finally works in our favor!

3) Italy. Because it's beautiful and I've never been across an ocean in my life. And I think right now I could eat my way through the country. OHHHH the carbs. Them.

Im excited that I didnt forget or miss this post this week!! lol.  

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? Everything seems to be okay so far. I am starting to feel her move more consistantly now. Still terrifed, but that comes with the PGAL territory. - It sucks, but Im sure things will be fine.

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far? DH had the nursery pained a few weeks ago. We wanted a neutral colour of blue and it turned out very nice - looks more or less like a boys room still though - Im going to need to get some hot pink rolling in there to make it look a little more feminine.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would  that be and why DH and I would love to travel to Italy and Holland. Back to the homeland of both of us.

QOTWBR:

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? All is well with us. We have the f/u to our f/u anatomy scan on Wednesday...hopefully baby is not still laying on his back, I'm starting to get a little freaked out that he might have spina bifida that we are just not able to see because of his positioning! His brain is looking perfect, though, so I'm sure all is fine. I just worry.

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far? I just went fabric shopping with my mom this weekend. We picked out this fabric, which will be used in some combination for curtains, crib skirt and lining of baskets that will be kept on the shelves of the changing table. The nursery itself is still semi-functioning as a storage room, so we are working on getting that cleared out so we can clean and paint.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why? On my ultimate bucket list, I would like to visit each continent (okay, maybe not Antarctica) at least once. Next on my list is Africa.

1) Everything is going well! I have my GTT March 23rd. I'm not looking forward to that one!

2) No, is that bad? DH and I are being slackers! We're getting everything cleared out of there this week though, and will be painting it this weekend, so its in the plans at least! e did buy a crib, but its at my aunts for now until we clear the room out.

QOTWNBR: I want to see so many places, but if I had to chose just one, I think I'd travel to Australia to see the Outback. No specific reason other than it just looks like nothing I've ever seen and a true, natural wonder.

Can you add me! I dn't know where I have been?!

Due date June 4th Girl labor buddy PrincessDi80

QOTWBR:

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests?

Doing well. I have an appt on the 7th. Another u/s and glucose test. Fingers crossed cervix is high and tight!

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far?

The girls will be sharing a room..I think... We have 4 bedrooms but one room is storage. We have NO closet space and DH has his office in the spare bedroom. But Morgan will be in our room for about 6 weeks.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why?

 I would love to go to Tahiti

Can you please add me!

Due Date June 5th Boy - I don't have a labor buddy...

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests?

Doing very well... other then being very achy and tired all the time. Baby is moving about and it is such a blessing!

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far?

Nope, we have to finish our basement to move our office downstairs before we can start on the nursery. I am getting very anxious to start it. We do have our furniture, but it is sitting in boxes in our living room. 

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why?

 Japan. I would love to go back to Japan. I went over there during college and I really enjoy their culture. I learned so much on that trip and would LOVE to go back and visit.

I should be on the list as DD for June 18th.  We're team blue.

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? 

I had a nasty stomach bug/flu which almost landed me in the ER for dehydration.  Thankfully I am feeling much better now. 

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far?

Yesterday we started to paint (when I say we, I mean DS and myself.  DH hates to paint while I love it).  That's it, I haven't done anything else.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why?

Somewhere FAR away from the snow/rain to get away from all of the snow/rain.

QOTWBR:

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests?

I have an ear infection so I'm home sick today.  And I just realized today was my original EDD   I'm doing okay with it though, helps being pregnant.  2 of my friends were both due around the same time, one is overdue and the other had hers almost 2 weeks ago.  My next appt is on the 10th and it's the oh so fun Glucose test I hope I pass!

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far?

We painted the room over the summer after I miscarried, we knew it was going to be a baby room at some point, no matter what.  We have a crib and dresser and glider in there now.  I ordered some all  decals from Etsy and we were going to put them up yesterday but I just haven't felt decent enough yet. 

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why?

Oh gosh, lots of places.  Ummm Australia area probably first, I am a photographer and would love to photograph the area there and pretty much everywhere else!  I've already been to the middle east so I'll probably avoid that area unless I can go be with my hubby who will be there for a year after the baby is born

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests?

Doing good! Heartburn is still horrible but I'm not complaining I have my glucose test on Thursday.

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far?

The nursery is painted, that's about it!!

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why?

I want to go back to Europe and bring my H this time. I've been twice but both before we were together. There are so many great places to go though, I don't know if I could choose one!

1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? I'm doing ok.  I had been having a lot of pressure in the cervix/vagina area so I told MW about it today during my regular appointment.  She was concerned so she did an internal and everything looks good.  The cervix is closed, long and "plush" and she thinks it's just round ligament pain which apparently can happen in the vaginal area.  I had no idea. 

Other than that I'm just trying to get over a cold.  Otherwise LO is doing great and had a strong heartbeat of 150. 

2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far? I have started on the nursery.  We've put together the crib and dresser and glider.  Now I just need to get the bedding and do all of the decorative touches.  I figure I have time to slowly get all of that done.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why? Fiji.  I've always wanted to go there because all the pictures I see are beautiful and the weather is amazing.  I'm a warm weather/beach girl and this is the perfect place for me and DH (he's also a warm weather/beach guy).

Ikissedthecook: do you want the names of my Sept 2011 labor buddies? IDK if it matters, lol.

QOTWBR:1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? Doing well. My bump has definitely popped within the last few weeks, I'm getting lots of belly rubs at work. (And a lot of them actually asked permission too!) Baby is doing great - lots of kicking! Next appt is March 16 for the GTT. 2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far? Not yet, because we will be moving into our (first new) house at the end of March!!!! I've been picking stuff out & I'll be registering this weekend. But I probably won't buy stuff or start setting stuff up until after my baby shower on April 17.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why? I would love to go to Australia!

Color me Late!  Was dealing with water in our basement yesterday thanks to 12inches of snow, 50 degree weather, and torrential downpours!Welcome to the Junebugs that have joined!  Yay!
1) How is everybody doing? Anything new with baby? Any upcoming appoinments? T&P requests? Excited we have an appointment this week.  My dr. has a portable ultrasound, so we get to see baby every time!  Started seeing my baby kick on the outside, so that was a huge milestone I've never experienced before!
2) Have you started on the baby?s nursery yet? If so, what?s done so far? Nursery's pretty much complete except for some odds and ends.  We have crib and bedding, dresser, rocker, and I made curtains.

QOTWNBR: If you could travel to any one place in the world, where would that be and why? I agree with sunflowr!  Would love to go to Australia and see me some marsupials...those crazy animals!
