Good morning ladies.
Ups: Got a lot of cleaning done yesterday, finally got registered and I had an appt on Friday and Henry's heart is sounding really good.
Downs: My maternity pics were scheduled for yesterday but postponed until next week. Still have a lot of stuff to do in the nursery.
I have an u/s next Monday to check on his growth. His head measured a little small at the big u/s. My next regular appt is April 9th. At that point she will give me my slip for bloodwork and glucose test. Can't wait.
Please update me, we found out last week we're having a girl! My next appt is 3/23.
Ups: We have a name picked out for our little girl! Our house is staying clean because it's on the market, and people keep wanting to see it. I just hope we get an offer soon!
Downs: My back has been bothering me more than usual. No other downs right now.
Happy Monday ladies!
2 ups - the nursery is effectively done. We are just waiting on bedding to arrive and to spring to be sprung so DH can take some flower photos for the walls. We're not allowing ourselves to buy anything else until after the showers. We also have a new obsession with the Paul Frank clothes at Target. I think we're up to 4 or 5 outfits now and it seems new ones have come out, so we just need to stop looking....
2 downs - work is very hectic and stressful and will continue to be for the next couple of weeks. Also, I had to let go of a friendship this past weekend. It was hard but definitely for the best.
BFP #2 - 11/4/09
My Book Blog
Good Morning!
I have my big u/s March 30. Still am 99% sure it's a boy based on intuition but need it confirmed!
2 ups this week - my bump is starting to grow and I have had the "guts" to tell a few more people - everyone is so excited so it's pretty fun!
2 downs this week - I came back from vacation and had to go back to work. Also, I am getting tired doing things that never used to tired me out. It's frustrating!
Big ultrasound is Thursday and I cannot wait!
Two Ups - I went shopping this weekend for maternity clothes and finally found a couple stores that have shirts and pants that actually fit me! I also decided on a crib and a dresser for the nursery so I am excited about that too.
Two Downs - Muddy dog paws - I have had to steam clean the carpet twice this weekend. No fun! Also, my EDD for my loss was this past Saturday, but looking on the bright side I feel better now that it has come and gone.
Can you add me to this??
EDD: Aug 30th (currently week 16 as of today)
Ups: I am in my 16th week today! And my brother definitely said he could tell I'm pregnant, havent' seen him since January and have been wondering when a LARGE bump is going to show up!
Downs: have to take the 3 hr glucose test today after just failing the 1 hour. I still have cramping which makes me nervous, but no spotting, etc. Have had cramping since I first found out I was pregnant.
I'd aslo love to be added since I'm now in second tri! yay!
EDD: Sept. 7th
Ups: still fitting into some regular pants - tight but they fit. My weight gain has also been minimal since i've stopped eating when i'm not hungry and cut out most of the junk.
Downs: We been on the daycare hunt and can't find one we like. That's the only real down this week.
My next appt is March 29th.
2 Ups: We have most of the nursery done. I'm waiting on the chair/glider. And I registered...yay!
2 Downs: Sleeping has become worse. I'm constipated again. Ugh. I feel lucky these are my only complaints, though.

Labor Buddy to Megjr8
Congrats Grads!!!!
Two ups: I only gained 4lb this month instead of 7 which was last month. I start my childbirth classes tomorrow night.
Two downs: I pulled my ass walking too much yesterday. I have been so tired the past few days.
My next appt is April 5th.
Two Ups: Did my baby registry this past weekend plus went to my BFFs Aunty's garage sale and got tones of stuff for $35 like a playpen, umbrella stroller, bibs, bedding, and mobile) and we decided on part of Lo's name!
Two Downs: I am soooo freaking tired and (TMI) my BM are sooo not regular due to constipation that my stomach was so sore last night I woke up at 1AM and didn't go back to sleep until 1:30 since I was trying to have a BM(yay... not!!).
Two ups: 1) My bloodpressure is back to a wonderful 117/72. That was at the neurologist's office. Apparently the OB just freaks me out! 2) I'm feeling GREAT!
Two downs: I honestly can't think of any
You can update me: Baby Boy!!!
Two ups: Finding out we have a HEALTHY, baby boy!! Learning that I will hopefully be able to stay in my position next year instead of changing schools.
Two downs: Still very, very tired. I was hoping I'd have more energy by this point. I'm starting to feel a little stressed about all of the things I haven't started doing yet before the baby's arrival!
Two Ups: ?I am over 24 weeks along! ?Spring break for me is in two weeks! ?(Cannot wait to be free of my first graders for a week to relax and sleep in.)
Two Downs: DH's work has been real slow lately, which means less money, which means less baby buying right now. ?I have a cold that I cannot shake.
Have a great week Beautiful Ladies!?
Well we are team Blue! Also, my due date is now July 11th. It was moved up a week.
2 Ups: 1. looking for a new car 2. seeing baby on the big u/s
2 Downs: 1. rainy weather 2. all these stretching pains
Hey! I actually have news this time!
We have our big gender ultrasound on March 31st! Woohoo!
Ups: scheduled ultrasound, found out I will be officially renewed next year on my teaching contract.
Downs: just generally exhausted and beat-down lately...I think it's less pregnancy and more being overwhelmed and busy at work...spring break at the end of the month!!!
BFP/Labor/Everything Buddy: Papetvet/Erpetdoc
Two ups: Rescheduled my next check-up so that my mom can come with me. It might sound silly, but with her living 9 hours away, she wants to be involved so much, and simply can't. She's coming out after our big u/s to shop with me, and gets to go to the next check-up.
Up #2: Midwife said I only gained 2 pounds this whole pregnancy! I think she's on crack...but it is written down in my "mother's journal." Hmmm... I feel like a whale (does that count as a down?)
Downs: Finding a comfortable bra that fits is SUPER hard, and is just about pissing me off. I've tried Motherhood (fail x 2) and now am wearing a bra from Lane Bryant. It's okay, but good gravy, I feel like these things are growing by the minute!
Down #2: Still no movement, and I'm impatient...very impatient!! I'm just about as impatient to feel movement as I am to know the gender of this baby!
Next appointment is Friday with the specialist at Children's Hosptial.
Please add me to Team Blue. (Mother's Intution was WAY wrong!)
Two ups: My BFF is in town this week for a few days... haven;t seen her since Thanksgiving. And more importantly.. it may not be TTTS for the babes.
Two Downs: I may be on bedrest till I deliver. And my Mom has been crazy this week.
BFP #2 - 12/9/09 After being on bedrest for 10 weeks due to TTTS and hospital bedrest for 4 weeks due to PPROM, my sticky babies are here! Born at 32 weeks!!
