4. Questions for next week?
Re: PG & TTC Check-In 7/11/11
STILL HERE!
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 41 weeks...nothing new at all.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Wednesday - nothing special - maybe we'll discuss induction, I'm not sure.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? let's hope a baby!!
4. Questions for next week? For the women close to your due date, do you ever wish you'd kept the actual date to yourself (I'm relatively patient with the people who point out just how "overdue" I am)
Last week was an Ultrasound on Wednesday that measured baby and fluid and checked the placenta - everything's still working as intended and baby's doing well. NST on Friday showed the same - we're just in a holding pattern.
No baby yet here either.
Hey LauraLynneC-so glad to have company in the wait!!!! But also sorry to hear that you are having to learn some crazy good patience too. I do wish people didn't expect an exact date for a due-date. So much pressure from everyone to be "on time"-whatever that means. Now when people ask me when I am due I just say "tomorrow" to avoid the "when is your scheduled C-Section" question.
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
41 weeks as of today. The only pain is the anticipation...when will the baby be ready??? I have been having some contractions (nothing regular) but with every short burst of regular contractions I wonder....is it time yet? Driving me crazy I also officially started my leave from work today...so now my husband and I are starting some house projects to keep me sane
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
We have an appointment tomorrow. Last week she had said that most first time moms, if left alone, will go 7-10 days past their "due date" so I am sure she will do some standard monitoring and we will talk about other testing to be sure the baby is still healthy in there. But as of the last check all was very well. Baby just wants more time.
3. What are you looking forward to this week?
Hopefully a baby
4. Questions for next week?

Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? I'm in my 12th week (11 weeks 6 days) how did that happen?
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Tomorrow is my first MW appointment so it's a meet and greet and see the baby. I haven't seen HB since 6 weeks and it was kinda low at that time so I'm excited to see it again.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? We are halfway through a house remodel project and the house is a MESS. I'm looking forward to being more done so we can put the house back together a bit more.

3. We are "behind" all my friends in having kids. Their kids will all be 1-2 years old that ours (assuming IVF works). Does the age of your kids matter for socializing with mom friends? ?tst1998 not a ton, it's easier to have play dates with kids your LO's age but that just means you get to make more friends! We have friends with kids 2 years older and 2 years younger than W and he loves to chase around the big kids or play with the babies.
4. Questions for next week?
Yup - M-F job plus several days a week at DH's business...
Pregnant Questions

2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? Thursday - meet & greet with new midwife. Not really sure what to expect since I used an OB with #1
3. What are you looking forward to this week? my doc appt on Thursday, cause that also means I get to sleep in a little.
4. Questions for next week?
I'm sorry I missed that. For some reason I had it in my head you had your baby already. Maybe it was just wishful thinking for you?
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?
8, i think. no..but my chest is still ridiculously sore.
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?
7/27. i don't know...

not a lot planned, so SLEEP!

3. We are "behind" all my friends in having kids. Their kids will all be 1-2 years old that ours (assuming IVF works). Does the age of your kids matter for socializing with mom friends? ?tst1998
i think so. but within a few years will be okay. i think it's more difficult when there's a 5 or 6 yr age gap when the kids are going to different types of schools, etc. 1 or 2 years, the mom with a few years more experience can talk about recent experiences with the new mom. whereas if we had a 5-6 yr age difference, talking about something 5 or 6 years ago isn't as interesting.
I just realized I didn't check-in last week. Duh!
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? 3rd Cycle, 2WW
2. What are you looking forward to this week? Girls weekend starts Friday. Sunland here we come!
3. We are "behind" all my friends in having kids. Their kids will all be 1-2 years old that ours (assuming IVF works). Does the age of your kids matter for socializing with mom friends? ?tst1998
I have no advice here (obviously). I'm the exact opposite; most our friends aren't even married yet despite being in our 30's.
4. Questions for next week? None4. Questions for next week? n/a
It's about time I started posting on the TTC check-in, officially.
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Cycle number infinity (I lost track), we have been seriously trying and tracking since Jan 2011. We are hoping not to have to do IVF again. Waiting to O then lost of naked time.
2. What are you looking forward to this week? Looking forward to lots of naked time with hubby. Not looking forward to my sista-in-law coming to visit, I am very happy she can't stay with us this time tho. :-)
3. We are "behind" all my friends in having kids. Their kids will all be 1-2 years old that ours (assuming IVF works). Does the age of your kids matter for socializing with mom friends? ?tst1998 We have a variety of friends that all have kids close in age and lots that have older kids. I do think it is important to find some moms that have kids close to your age tho, they don't have to be your very best friends or the people you hangout with or vacation with, just for the support it gives you. You can lean on each other when going thru BFing issues, sleep, etc. I rec the Evregreen parent/baby groups.
4. Questions for next week? Am I the only one who has a self pitty party every month AF shows with a bottle of wine or two?
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O
2. What are you looking forward to this week? Taking 4 days to see my aunt & uncle this weekend.

This is something I think about... In most of our social circles, we're the last to have kids. However, in our families, we're not. We're expecting our first niece this month (eek!) but none of our other brothers have headed down this path yet. So hopefully we won't be too far behind my BIL & SIL.
Welcome! I'll add you to the list.
I'm 25 weeks today and still feeling great. Definitely more BH than with my other two, but nothing uoo bad. My next appt is the end of this month. I'll have my GTT at that one. Yay!
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 24, lately my hips have been popping out of their sockets when I try and roll over in the middle of the night.. its not pleasant i tell ya!
2. When is your next appointment? It was today! Will anything special happen at that appointment? Just the regular ultrasound/weight check/ belly measurement
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Just hanging out with friends, nothing too exciting (sorry friends
)
4. Questions for next week?
TTCing Questions
1. What cycle are you on? I am waiting to O. This is our first 'official' month of trying. My cycle was pretty messed up after going off birth control in May (after 11 years) so I feel like I finally have two good months under my belt.
2. What are you looking forward to this week? Bite of Seattle! I love food:)
3. We have only one other couple friend who is pregnant and then we will be the next hopefully. The rest will be about a year behind us all but they are so excited for everyone to have babies that I don't think it will affect our relationships negatively. It's really important to us to keep doing fun things with a baby in tow. Most of our friends are worried about their kids being younger than our's but I don't think it will matter much. I will probably join some mommy groups when I'm pregnant to have some same-age friends but we aren't giving up our close friends just because our kids will be different ages. Probably our second baby will be close to their first and it will all be fine.
Pregnant Questions
1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? 26, nothing new
2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment? 7/26, gotta retake that darn Glucose test.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Starting out labor and birthing class
4. Questions for next week? Anyone take any other of the classes offered by the hospital? Any recommendations or are they a waste of money?
