****November Momma check-in, finally!****

HadleyS

Okay everyone, I finally have a first draft of our check-in list up.  Sorry I didn?t do a check in last week, I had some sad events come up and wasn?t bumping.  It is NOT some sort of exclusive group, so if you are reading this, due in November, and you want to be placed on it, please reply with your dates.   I know that we will be adding lots more because there are some active posters out there!  If I need to make corrections, let me know that as well.

It would be nice to add angel babies as well, but now I don?t know who all would be on that list, so I put a prayer message at the end of the list.

What's something good going on in your life?

How are you all doing today? Doing okay over here. DD has not exactly been sleeping all that great recently, so I'm taking any opportunity I can to rest.
Any milestones? I'm in my 2nd trimester!
Appt updates/Upcoming appts? Hmmm... have my monthly appt on June 13th.
Symptoms? Sometimes still nauseous and just constantly tired.
Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan? Still going team green. A/s is july 5th.
What's something good going on in your life? Hmmmm.... busy getting DD's second birthday party put together, planning a party for my parents and all the little things in between. I honestly can't believe my little one is going to be two! Still in total shock over that.

Froggy76

Glad to have you back, Hadley!  I know you're going through a rough time- hope you're doing okay.  

How are you all doing today?  Can't complain!

Any milestones?  I told work on Friday!  Yikes... word is also starting to spread to extended family and friends.  It is scary and exciting at the same time.

Appt updates/Upcoming appts?  Check-up tomorrow (just a doppler check)

Symptoms?  Nausea seems to be gone- just some fatigue and headaches left.

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan?  Not sure yet- hopefully I'll schedule it tomorrow.

What's something good going on in your life?  We are getting a new deck built this week.  We've been talking about it for a long time and I am SO excited.

haziedaze

Thanks for doing this! Looks like I need to be added. I'm due 11/22 our A/S is 6/29.

How are you all doing today? Today has been a great day. Saw my MW and she says everything is looking perfect and the baby sounded great. It was reassuring that what I thought was a little bump actually is!

Any Milestones? I'm glad to be doen with the 1st trimester! We've told everyone in our families and at work. We will put something on facebook in the coming weeks.

Appt Updates/Upcoming Appts? Our A/S is 6/29 then we have another MW appt the next day.

Symptoms? Lots of tugging and stretching lately. Some low back pain with standing and occassional bouts of nausea, although it's much better!

 What's something good going on in your life? It was confirmed today that I'm getting my dream job for after residency. I will be working part time at the county hospital next year. I'm beyond ecstatic! It's actually kinda scary that everything feels so perfect right now.

PiperS

  Any milestones? I am farther along than I was when I had my m/c. Appt updates/Upcoming appts? Just had an appointment yesterday. We heard the baby's beautiful hb and scheduled the A/S Symptoms? I barely have symptoms. I am still tired a lot though. Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan? We cannot wait to find out! Our A/S is 6/27. What's something good going on in your life? I am happily married and having a baby. What could be better than that

romigu

How are you all doing today?  Doing great! 

Any milestones?  Today I officially have passed all definitions of the end of first trimester and have started second trimester!!

Appt updates/Upcoming appts?  I wish...Not until June 16.  I may break down and go for a doppler check since I've been so paranoid lately.

Symptoms?  Still with sore breasts and lots of stretching/round ligament pain recently. 

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan? Anatomy scan is set for our 3 year anniversary on July 5!  I am soo excited!

What's something good going on in your life?  My brother and his family are coming to visit for my birthday in 3 weeks!  I am so excited to see my 2 year old nephew.

Congrats!!!  That is so exciting!  Are you going to be a pedi hospitalist?  

HadleyS

Okay, I will get right on the new additions!

How are you all doing today? Today has been a slow day at work, which is fine by me, because I have been bumping all day!

Any Milestones? I'm in the second tri now, not sure if we had a check in before that happened!

Appt Updates/Upcoming Appts? We had a nice appt yesterday, got sequential screen results, everything is great and we heart our LO's heartbeat on the doppler.  The doc also scheduled an early a/s appt for June 6...I am looking very forward to it!

Symptoms? Well, just over the past few days, I feel like my boobs are starting to grow a little more...yikes!  I can still wear my same pre-preg bras though, so I feel fortunate.  I don't know what to look for when I need to buy some more.  I am getting really picky with foods, and have been loving potatoes for about 2 months now.  I am kinda rapidly gaining weight, so I am making a conscious effort to try and eat more fresh fruits and veggies.

 What's something good going on in your life? While I have been in sort of a job dilemna lately, there was a very awesome job opening that came up, so I applied for it.  I hope to get a call about it next week.  If this job ends up being a no-go, then I am MORE than happy to try out the SAH life for awhile when LO comes, so I am feeling very win/win about all of this right now!

How are you all doing today?
I hope everyone is doing really well.  Personally I'm doing good - especially given the past week.  Honestly I'm all sorts of stressed out about my health and the baby but my eyes are set on the horizon and I'm pushing through to that anatomy scan on the 31st.

Any milestones?
Hmmm... I've officially gained more than 11 lbs so far - wowzers

Appt updates/Upcoming appts?
I go in to my OB this Friday for my 17 week checkup -- then I have my a/s on the 31st

Symptoms?
Still fatigued and thirsty --- my boobs are also huge and tender

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan?
I'm team - can't freaking wait.  During a u/s we had last week to check on how baby was doing (during an ER visit) the tech said she'd put her money on girl... so we'll see!

What's something good going on in your life?
DH is all done with this MBA and loving his chill time at home - I've been pushing for a promotion at work and although it still hasn't gone through I still haven't been rejected - also I recently interviewed for a new position which will bring me a promotion and I'm waiting to hear back on it as well.

molRN

How are you all doing today?

Doing well!  Happy to have access to internet (at DH's office)

Any milestones?

Not really, week 14, I guess that means I'm officially officially in second tri.

Appt updates/Upcoming appts?

Upcoming apt on June 2nd, but nothing special. I'm sure it will just be listening to the HB (still always exciting)

Symptoms?

m/s finally seems to be subsiding, so Happy about that.  However, I think the constipation is starting

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan?

Still team unknown, I'm thinking the anatomy scan is my July 25th apt?

What's something good going on in your life?

Finally got moved into our duplex, and unpacking is progressing.  Also looking forward to seeing my M & D this weekend.  This will be the first time since telling them about this PG!

lalaellac

How are you all doing today?  Doing ok.  Home from work after a busy day and I'm off the next two days.  My anxiety is not too horrible!

Any milestones?  Second tri, getting more comfortable telling people the news.

Appt updates/Upcoming appts?  Went in last Weds for a doppler check to reduce my anxiety.  It took the nurse a minute to find the HB and in that minute I thought I was going to die, I had flashbacks to trying to find Ella's HB in the hospital the day we found out she had passed.  But all was well and the nurse told me that at this point it can still be tricky finding the HB.

 Next appt is Tues 5/31.  I'll be 16w2d an HOPING we'll be able to find out gender.  We'll schedule our A/S then too

Symptoms?  No longer gagging while brushing teeth and have a little more energy which is exciting.  I think I may be feeling little movements but I'm not 100% sure.  And constipation is still my worst enemy!

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan?  Still team can't wait to find out!  Hoping for Tuesday!

What's something good going on in your life?   We're finally having my mom's 50th surprise birthday party next weekend.  Her 50th was Ella's due date, so a week after I gave birth to her and she and all of my family didn't want anything to do with celebrating at that time.  Now that its almost 9 months out, we're hoping she will be really floored!

 

Hope everyone is doing well

How are you all doing today?  Doing alright! I'm still having belly pain but I'm hoping it's nothing. I'm having a better week at work and I told my boss I'm leaving way early on Friday to take an extended long weekend. I'm feeling uncomfortable physically but it could (and will) be worse. Any milestones? I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow which seems crazy to me. Other than that, nothing major. No movement yet but hopefully soon!     

 

Appt updates/Upcoming appts?  I had my last appointment a couple of weeks ago and they just did a basic doppler check and made sure I was recovering okay from my car accident. I go back for the second part of my sequential screen on the 7th (which seems kind of late to me?), and my a/s is on the 15th. Looking forward to having it recorded and watching it with DH when I get home so we can find out at the same time. (He can't get ANY time off from work, which is frustrating) 

Symptoms?  Other than exhaustion, the the previously mentioned belly pain, not much going on. Though I'd love to find a bra that fits right. It's not like I have huge tatas- I'm maybe a B now, but I've gone from a 34 to a 36 basically overnight and now all of my 36's cut into me and make me uncomfortable.  

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan?  Still waiting on the 15th but we will be finding out. I'm putting my money on team pink, but we shall see. 

What's something good going on in your life?   DH is working a lot too, so we are making decent money and are able to do some home repairs/bank some money for the first time in years. He's also getting some help for his PTSD and I feel like we are closer and stronger than we have ever been. 

 If anyone has any extra NBR good energy to direct my way for Thursday I have my annual review (a month late), which is tied to my salary etc. It's a 360 review so everyone I work with has to provide feedback (like 15 people) and it's a major process. I could use all the extra energy I can get! 

I love that everyone is doing pretty well, and that there are so many good updates coming. I'm glad we are all in this together!

 

P.S. Thanks for doing this Shel. It's a lot of work and I appreciate you taking it on!

I'm due 11/25 with twins.. my a/s isn't scheduled yet. They didn't have the calendar for that far out and want me to call back next week.

How are you all doing today? I'm exhausted today and overwhelmed by all the things I have to do tomorrow. I won't have time for dinner between work and my online summer school teacher training... I won't get home until 9pm which is like my bed time. I am seriously bummed about that.Any milestones? 2nd tri!Appt updates/Upcoming appts? I have my next OB appointment tomorrow morning.Symptoms? Exhaustion, weird cramping, sciatic pain, RLP?Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan? At our NT scan we got a guess of two girls.. one guess was more definite, the other was "I can't really tell but I think it's another girl." Anatomy scan will be scheduled after Memorial Day but we'll know the sexes at my 16w u/s to measure my cervical length.

What's something good going on in your life? THE BEACH CLUB IS OPENING THIS WEEKEND!

Hi Ladies! I hope everyone is doing well!

How are you all doing today? I am doing good. I haven't gotten the 2nd tri burst of energy yet so still exhausted!

Any milestones? Being comfortable telling everyone about the pregnancy. Not on FB yet, but we're not 'hiding' it anymore to anyone.

Appt updates/Upcoming appts? I have my OB appt tomorrow. Should just be a regular check-up with a doppler check. I have been having other health complications though, so I may try to talk to him about getting a quick u/s to check on LO  I go back to my other doctor next week to check on the pressure in my head - hoping for good news that it's going down!

Symptoms? Exhaustion, sciatic pain, still some nausea here and there.

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan? I plan to schedule our a/s tomorrow at my appt! So excited to even have it scheduled!

What's something good going on in your life? Lotsa great things (besides LO)... my summer vacation starts next Tuesday and we leave for a week long trip to a beach house in NC next Friday! We are visiting my mom who we only see a few times a year. DH and I are both teachers so the summers off together are awesome!

Hi ladies, so happy to be joining you all  How are you all doing today? I'm pretty good overall, but I'm terrified to use my doppler (I know this sounds ridiculous). It arrived over a week ago and I tried it for 2 minutes, during which time I had no idea what I was doing, so of course had no success. Now I just can't bring myself to try again. I'm scared that I won't hear it and then I'll panic...So there it sits in the box!!Any milestones? I'm coming up on Second Tri and can't believe it. I have never gotten to this point before.Appt updates/Upcoming appts? I have my next OB appointment next Thursday. Hoping she will have a quick look at the baby and maybe show me the best way to use my darn doppler!! Symptoms? Still feeling nauseous, but it's much better than it was. Still really thirsty and hungry all.the.time! This isn't exactly a symptom, but I'm finding the Lovenox shots are getting easier and I've been bruising a lot less. Any team updates? Not yet. When is your anatomy scan? June 17th, at which point I'll start seeing the MFM monthly for growth scans/cervical checks. DH will be coming with me to the appointment and we're so looking forward to seeing LO and hopefully finding out the sex. What's something good going on in your life? I love this question! DH and I are really looking forward to our upcoming trip to Miami in July. It'll be nice to get to the beach and to have a mid-prenancy break away together.

How are you all doing today? It would be better if I didnt just spill the rest of my hot chocolate on my shirt....

Any milestones? We hired 3 new people, one asked me the other day when DH and I were planning on starting a family, I told her the dr's say 11/22.  She said she thought I looked pregnant but didnt want to say anything... I was just excited that a stranger noticed!

Appt updates/Upcoming appts? Checkup on June 13 and Ill get my a/s order then.

Symptoms? none... other than the growing belly!

Any team updates? When is your anatomy scan? We get the a/s order on June 13 and the hospital gets you in right away so I think Ill have to wait until my next day off after June 13.

What's something good going on in your life?  DH has decided to remodel most of the house before LO arrives, so I got new cabinets in the laundry room last weekend and I get to pick out a new bathroom this weekend.
