News: GL to all our ladies in the 2ww! T&P to erikaja6 as she continues TTC.
Updates: Last week, I was waiting to hear the results of my GTT and on my big u/s. Clotho!'s newest LO was doing well, back up to his birthweight and nursing great. ijack had some contractions, but her cervix is still looking good. mrsmikey stopped feeling movement, but is still looking forward to her big u/s. erikaja6 is still TTC - hang in there, girl! mrsfriend is hanging in there and passed her GTT.

Re: Pregnant (& TTC) After Preemie Check-in!
Not much new here either. I have started feeling some movement again, still random and tiny though, just like a few weeks ago. Waiting for those kicks to get stronger!
Had my quad screen done this week, waiting on the results. My u/s is next week, so I'll probably get them then. I can't believe it's next week! Seems like time is flying by and creeping at the same time.
NreallyBR, but my birthday is tomorrow and I've had a pretty bum week. Today has been especially bad so far. I don't know if it's the pg hormones or what, but I've just been so down the past fews days. Been having alot of trouble with DS too. Any happy dust you guys could send my way would be appreciated
MrsMikey, I hope your week picks up. Happy Birthday!
Same old stuff here - baby girl is moving a ton. We finally moved E into her big girl room so we can start on the nursery, right now it looks like a bomb went off there. I'm a little freaked out about being 23w because I feel like the next couple weeks are such a sucky gray area of pregnancy, but hopefully nothing will happen. If I can make it to Monday without being on bed rest I will be a very happy camper! (not because I need to be on bed rest, but by 24w with E I had already been admitted to the hospital).
Need help with high fat food ideas? Chunky Monkey
*hugs* ITA agree with the comment about pgcy flying by and creeping by. It's like we're already halfway done and it doesn't feel like it's been that long, but at the same time, I know I still have a loooooooooong (hopefully) 20+ more weeks ahead of me.
Happy early birthday - next week will be better, we get to find out what our babies are!!!!
2 weeks and 5 days until baby girl is here! i'm getting super excited, but also completely overwhelmed. we're *thisclose* to starting to build our house and so we're in a tiny apartment. add that to trying to get work ready for maternity leave and i'm swamped!
this may sound silly, but i get to go to my nursing bra fitting today - i never made it that far last time!
So glad to hear that everyone is doing well.
Mrsmikey sending you (((hugs))) hoping today is a better day for you.
Today was the day my c-section was scheduled to happen. So it is kind of a bittersweet day for my. My LO is almost 3 weeks old when he really shouldn't even be here yet.
Hope every one continues to do well.
