Re: ~*Weekly PG Check-in*~
Congrats all!
QOTW: Sneezing and peeing a little. There I said it. All in all (knock on wood) I have been ok this pregnancy. Nothing I havent been able to handle. Headaches in 2nd tri were horrible but they are gone now.
Updates: I am still knocked up! I am literally counting every week as a milestone. Cervix is still small but it stopped shrinking for the time being. I have an elective u/s today (birthday gift from DH) to get 3D photos. Tomorrow regular doc check up and Friday high risk OB check up to make sure everything is staying put. I will probably ask for dust then but for now I feel great.
Dup.
Can you update that we are for sure having a girl please
My hunch was right on the money, for the second time. Woot!
QOTW: The heartburn has been the most consistent worst thing. It didn't start until the end w/ DS, and has been here before I even found out w/ this baby. Not looking forward to the end if it is this bad already
Update: Nothing much, just waiting to feel more consistent movement. This anterior placenta is driving me insane.
Thanks for adding me. My EDD is June 7th.
My two worst symptoms are a tie: nausea/vomiting and insanely sore boobs. With DS, my sickness lasted til 20 weeks, so I'm hoping I'm more than halfway over it. My boobs hurt so bad when I'm pregnant that I swear the weight of air makes them hurt. It's horrible. Because of this, I'm weaning DS. Once I got pg, nursing went from one of the most awesome things I've ever done to something I dread and almost cry over when it's happening. It makes me sad to think our breastfeeding relationship is coming to a close, but I just can't do it anymore.
Sorry I'm a downer.....hormones.
Good news-u/s at my peri's office on Dec 1st to check on the babies! I'll be 13 weeks and I'm hoping the sonographer will be willing to take a guess as to their sexes. I am DYING to know what they are.
Congrats to Romigu and August8080. I am keeping Tiffany and Michelle in my prayers.
QOTW: The heightened sense of smell is killing me. I sauteed some mushrooms for dinner the other night and ended up telling DH he was going to have to finish the sauteeing because the smell was making me gag. Of mushrooms. Do mushrooms even have a smell?! Last night, DH was looking over my shoulder while I was using the computer and I told him that he ate something that was making me sick. I finally figured out he had dill pickles on his sloppy joe and I was smelling the dill on his breath and couldn't handle it. Even though I ate pickles, too. Ugh.
Updates: All is going well, other than the above and just being really tired. I have my u/s next week. We're praying that it goes well and that the baby looks good.
Congrats on your new baby boy, romi!!
QOTW: This pregnancy the RLP is the worst. It started off super early and it's been really hard to find a comfortable position when sleeping. LOL at monijoy, I have had that same symptom this pregnancy a few times.
Updates: Not too much to report, still slacking in the nursery and name department. Baby girl is starting to move up higher and higher -- I have even started to feel her kicking in my ribs already. I was sitting with L last night and he got to feel baby girl moving for the first time, so that was exciting!!
QOTW: The nausea, then headaches. Not fun at all.
Updates: I have my glucose test tomorrow. I'm nervous about it but there's not much I can do I guess other than eat healthy which I have been. I've been lucky to not have many hormonal issues so far but they've started this week. I'm tearing up at everything and yesterday had my first crying stint at work. My kids in class were so supportive and protective of me. That part was awesome (although embarassing.) I've been having a bunch of BH and my back has started hurting at the end of the day. I have a shower the Sunday after Thanksgiving so that should be fun!
QOTW: Depends on the day, what I hate the most! And I have had really pretty easy pregnancies, both times. I think I have to say the hormones/mood swings I hate the most. I am usually very laid back, not much gets to me. But when I'm pregnant, I seriously become a psycho b!tch, and I hate that. Plus, I cry at everything and I hate that too.
Update: Doing fine. Tomorrow is my 35/35 day! Having lots of BH, which seem to be getting stronger. And feeling more and more like I've got a watermelon hanging around in the bottom of my gut. Maybe he dropped? Not really sure, but I have been carrying him much lower than I carried DS, so I'm not sure how much lower he needs to go! Most everything is ready for baby. I just hope to get through 3 days at Thanksgiving at the IL's farm (2.5hrs away), and then get all the Christmas decorating done at home. I plan to do that on Sunday after T-giving, finish up some shopping that week and the next weekend, then I'll be over 37wks and it's all good for Baby Time!
Oh, I guess we also need to decide on a name. I think I've just resigned myself to the fact that we'll figure out his name when we meet him. Unless I can pull some sort of Jedi mind trick on DH that convinces him that he loves the name Kellan as much as I do...
When 3 Became 4
Congrats Romigu and August8080! Michelleaxo and Tiffany, you are in my prayers.
QOTW: Currently I'm going between hating the nausea and the emotions. I'm already a pretty sensitive/emotional person, but this is ridiculous. Example: Someone complained that I was rude to them on the phone...and while I know I was not (trust me I can get rude and catch an attitude fast) it still makes me weepy. Stupid emotions.
Update: Looks like we're headed for another high-risk pregnancy. DH and I knew it wouldn't be easy, and the OB told us we'd be considered high-risk just because of last time. However, my blood pressure is already going up, I'm spilling proteins in my urine and I can't keep my fasting glucose number under control. We have a follow up on the 28th with the OB to discuss potential medications to start and our action plan.
Updates: well I survived our trip to Visit the ILs without shooting off my mouth. That's quite an accomplishment for me these says
Congrats and thoughts/prayers to all!
QOTW: I hate not being able to sleep... everything else hasn't been too bad. I am waking up every 30 minutes, which is just no fun!
Updates: Had my first weekly appointment today - Dr. S said that baby is already completely dropped, I am dilated 1/2 cm and 20% effaced. He doesn't think she will wait until the 9th to get here, so we will see. He said his guess is that it will be the week after Thanksgiving. I am scared and excited all at the same time.
QOTW: I have been luckily symptom free until this week other than exhaustion. I started 2nd tri this week and have started having nausea in the mornings and headaches in the afternoon. Headaches are by far the worst!
Update: Not much new, I came out on facebook and told my boss which I was dreading b/c I started this job a week before my BFP. Luckily she was awesome, and really excited for me! That was a huge weight off my shoulders.
QOTW: The acid reflux.
It's worse than the morning sickness. I've been using Zantac, but the doc called me in a prescription that I'm going to start using tomorrow.
Updates: I guess I'm finally officially out at work. All of the attorneys know now and it's trickling through the rest of the office. I got my sequential screening results back and I'm not loving some of the numbers. My results were "negative", but I'm very close to the cutoff on the Down's screen and worse off than my age odds should be. But I'm trying to remain positive and not dwell on it. We have our a/s the Monday after Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping that might give us some more information. And I finally got DH on board to find out the sex with me! We're going to do it on Christmas Day (have the doc write it in a card). I'm so excited for Christmas now!
My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
Update: I had my first appointment and it went well! I got to have an ultrasound, that never gets old! I did "lose" a week, and my due date is June 30th if you wouldn't mind changing it on the list!
QOTW: Ugh, the constant peeing. It starts pretty much the day I get my bfp and never ends for me. I probably go every 20 minutes or more, and I get up like four or five times in the middle of the night too. It's awful.
QOTW: I guess what I dislike the most is the largeness of my boobs. They are huge!! It really sucks. Other than that--I guess the other thing is all the waking up in the night. Every time I roll over, I wake up. I've been lucky and have had an easy pregnancy so far.
UPDATE: Not much to report. Everything is going well. I finally started L's big boy room. I know not technically baby related, but Tiny is getting L's room, so...it is related.
QOTW: Oh, that's easy. Gas, gas and more gas. I feel disgusting.
Update: Nothing really new going on here. We took our first preparation for childbirth class and toured the hospital. This is really going to happen.
