~October Check In~

Junebug060609 · May 2011

How are you doing this week?

Any new symptoms? Movement?

Milestones?

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement?

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry?

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend?

Junebug060609 · May 2011

How are you doing this week? Good. After the anxiety of last week, I'm making a point to enjoy the calmness of this week.

Any new symptoms? Movement? New symptoms include achy feet and reflux/heartburn. (How is it possible that at 19w I came closer to yakking than I did all of 1st Tri?!) I'm feeling little guy more regularly, some each day. Mostly just rolls, no good thumps yet.

Milestones? 19 weeks. I'm thisfreakingclose to being Half Baked (not that I'm counting the days or anything, lol).

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? Next appt is 5/31. Kid is a boy.

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? We made our first purchase (travel system) last weekend. Registry is started as well.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? I'm old & boring. My big excitement will likely include starting packing for our move. Lame.

StephK86 · May 2011

How are you doing this week? I am having a hard week. June 1st is when my son passed away. He initially died on the 28th but was revived. I am reliving everything that happened and without my anxiety medicine or sleeping pills I am a complete insomniac. I really miss my baby boy.

Any new symptoms? Movement? I have started to feel my Braxton Hicks contractions. They were actually quite uncomfortable a few times. I also started feeling more distinct movements, especially when lying in bed at night.

Milestones? Feeling baby move more and more!

Appts? None until June 6th. Test results back? Nope. A/S date/Team announcement? On may 18th found out I am team blue!

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Yes I have been buying small things all along (diapers, toys, bath stuff, etc.) After finding out I am having a boy I bought some cute clothes. I have all my big purchases done except a crib since my son was in a bassinet at first. Started a registry? I already had a shower with my first but we are doing a baby celebration lunch. I don't want any presents though.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? After my son's passing and sickness during this weekend I don't think I will ever be able to celebrate again.

I just wanted to let you know you're in my T&Ps this weekend.

iggy.d · May 2011

Hi Ladies!!

How are you doing this week? Good week so far!!

Any new symptoms? Movement? Nothing new. I learned yesterday that I have an anterior placenta, so no movement for a while for me.

Milestones? Every week, every day!

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? We had an elective ultrasound, and found out it's a BOY! TEAM BLUE!! Still looking forward to our A/S to make sure baby looks healthy, but right now I can't stop smiling knowing "he's" a "HE"!

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? Nothing yet.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? We're driving down to Virginia Beach for a lovely long weekend. Can't wait! Leaving tonight!

Hi Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? We're driving down to Virginia Beach for a lovely long weekend. Can't wait! Leaving tonight!

From 2006 to last Fall I lived in that area! I was over on the other side of the water (Newport News/Hampton), but VA Beach was pretty nearby! Have fun & say hello to King Neptune for me Wink

julireye · May 2011

How are you doing this week? My back hurts almost everyday, so I broke down and got a prenatal massage and feel great today Smile

Any new symptoms? Movement? Nothing new, actually it has been such a good week that I don't feel pregnant. I felt bubbles last week, but nothing this week, which creates a lot of anxiety

Milestones? I will be half bake tomorrow

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? My A/S came with everything normal

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? We have bought the outfit to bring our baby from the hospital and two onsies. I also started the registry but just because Target would give me $20 if I did.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? we are going to Niagara Falls to celebrate our second anniversary which is on Monday

butterflynola · May 2011

How are you doing this week? Good. Tired but good

Any new symptoms? Movement? Still feeling lots of movement which is great but feeling like a bottomless pit, always hungry and very tired. Also, I think I started to get a little heart burn.

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? Boy so excited to have a sweet little baby boy. It's neat to see my name above on your list with boy next to it Thanks

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? No not yet but there are some really adorable little crotheted newborn hats on etsy I've been contemplating ordering one soon.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? We are also packing and moving soon, but on Monday, memorial day we have a wedding to go to, kind of an odd day to have a wedding but oh well. I'm a little anxious about it though because I'm clearly showing so the cat will be out of the bag with DH's family but I guess it was just a matter of time. Have a great weekend everyone!!

butterfly99ad · May 2011

How are you doing this week? I'm doing great this week. The baby's kicks and movements are getting much stronger. In the evening, my husband can even feel the kicks.

Any new symptoms? Movement? Heartburn, heartburn, heartburn. It seems like no matter what I eat, I get heartburn.

Milestones? I will be 20 weeks this Saturday...half way there!! Smile

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? I have my a/s scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm very nervous and excited all at the same time. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. I just want to know that my baby is healthy, and hopefully find out the gender Wink

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? Not yet. If we find out the gender tomorrow, I definitely plan on buying the baby their first outfit.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? I have two weddings this weekend and it's my 3 yr wedding anniversary!! So, it's going to be a busy weekend.

That's such a coincidence, our 3rd anniversary is Monday, and if it wasn't for the fact we have two weddings this weekend, we were going to go to Niagara too!

Junebug060609:

How are you doing this week?

Any new symptoms? Movement? Not really any new symptoms but I'm definetly feeling movement, these babies like to groove at night they are definetly not morning people!

Milestones? we're halfway there!

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? all my blood work came back good and my anatomy scan revealed two healthy babies growing right on track and it's definetly one boy and one girl and my next appointment is June 23rd

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? we bought a crib and a pack n play a couple of weeks ago but other than that I haven't really bought anything but I do have my registry started

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? enjoy sitting on my butt lol

lew0509 · May 2011

How are you doing this week? Oh my it is so hot in San Antonio, thank god for AC! I can't wear my wedding ring anymore because my hands swell in the heat. It looks so weird on a chain around my neck. Other than that, I'm good.

Any new symptoms? Movement? Appetite is slowly creeping up. I think my boobs had a growth sprut (DH couldn't be happier). I only feel little bubble pops or tiny little tugs, and so far I've only felt them about 4 times. This anterior placenta is killing me! I want to feel something and know for sure it isn't gas.

Milestones?Half baked on Saturday! I'm with Junebug, not counting the days or anything...

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? No tests, and we're still team blue.

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? I can't start the physical registry until we get home, but I'm starting it slowly in my head. DH wants to try and sneak Nerf guns and legos on there, I'll have to watch him. Oh and THANK YOU ladies who recommended lucieslist.com, I now have my sanity back

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? I think we'll go to the Riverwalk or Six Flags this weekend, they are having military deals everywhere here and I love it

alexa08 · May 2011

How are you doing this week? Good

Any new symptoms? INDIGESTION! Ouch. Movement? Just a little - some small taps from time to time. Still really hard to feel them to believe that's what I'm really feeling.

Milestones? I'm in the half baked club now.

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? Just a check in today, I have questions about my over the top indigestion and my low placenta.

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Bought a cute vintage dresser off Craigs List to repaint. Started a registry? I started a Diapers.com and Amazon registry yesterday. I'll register at an actual store in June. We're getting a lot of hand-me-downs so I hope not to register for too much.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? BBQ with cousins and IL's. This will be my first "out" family event!

StephK86 · May 2011

Thanks JuneBug and Autumnmh1 I can use all the prayers in the world. I appreciate you ladies.

danie330 · May 2011

Hi Junebug! Thanks for keeping up with all of this!

How are you doing this week? Pretty good. Just fighting allergies. So much for the rain washing all the pollen out of the air!

Any new symptoms? Movement? I'm getting the anti 2nd Tri symptoms: no appetite, exhausted. Honestly, with the exception of no m/s, I still feel like I'm in 1st Tri symptom wise. I do think I'm begining to feel movement more and more. At least, that's what I'm trying to convince myself!

Milestones? Another week, another milestone. I'm getting really close to being half way there!

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? My official A/S is on Wednesday, June 1st. My OB wanted to do an ultrasound at our check up on Tuesday and I can join TEAM BLUE with no reservations! :-) We're really excited, but I fear we'll never agree on a name!

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? We had bought one outfit previously, but I took a big plunge yesterday and ordered a quilt for the nursery and a car seat. YIKES! I'm still trying to breathe and relax about those purchases.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? Finally getting some stuff done around the house since DH is off for the entire weekend. I'm also going to my friend's daughter's 5th birthday party. I can't believe she's already 5!

I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend! To all of those in the military, married to the military or related to family in the military, please give them a special "Thank You!" for me this weekend.

samm1983 · May 2011

How are you doing this week? Doing great!

Any new symptoms? Movement? I think my morning sickness came back for a couple of days, but it's ok. Feeling lots of movement and LOVING it!

Milestones? Official anatomy scan is today and almost half way there!

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? Anatomy scan is in 1 hour. I hope baby boy is still looking good and we can see everything we need to see!

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? Not yet.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? Landscaping around the house.

martinimomma · May 2011

Hellllooooo, October Mommies! It has been such an exciting week reading about everyone's anatomy scans and team annoucements! keep growing, LOs!!

How are you doing this week?

Good. Nervous for tomorrow, but good.

Any new symptoms? Movement?

I feel like my belly has popped a little, and note that it is "in the way" a little bit when I try to squeeze in and out of spaces I used to fit in easily (like the car door in our tiny garage). Also have started having trouble falling back asleep after pee breaks during the night. Boo. I have felt a few little flutters, but they are rare and could well still be gas. Come on LO, shake that booty and show Momma you're hanging in there!

Milestones?

Half-baked tomorrow. Wow.

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement?

My anatomy scan is tomorrow. I am trying to keep the nerves under control (pretty unsuccessfully). We are team green till the end...though if I see a weenie on the screenie, I am calling it like I see it.

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry?

We have a dresser in the room that will be the nursery (we finally got it up the stairs - yeah!). A friend sent us a set of Aden and Anais (?) swaddling blankets, which are sitting on top of the dresser. Otherwise, LO has bupkis. I've read Baby Bargains and surfed Lucie's List and the Nurseries and Baby Gear board...but don't plan to start a registry till v-day. Fingers crossed.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend?

Cooking out and chilling out! Also starting to move "office" gear to the guest bedroom and emptying out the "office" to make room for the "nursery". Gives me palpitations.

I am so sorry - you and Gavin will be in my T&P this weekend.

Junebug060609 · May 2011

I think I got all the updates up to here. (Give me a sec to go change the OP)

Y'all are making me feel better about my heartburn. Earlier this week I was thinking it was way too early for that. Guess not.

I forgot to mention it in the OP, but my thoughts are with the mama that is waiting on amnio results. The wait is so hard. (((hugs)))

Oh & apparently its anniversary season. DH and I have our 2nd on June 6th! Hard to believe that's just over a week away!

StephK86 · May 2011

Thanks sandy. Lisasue I am glad you brought that post to my attention, somehow I missed it. I commented but thanks again.

hopefulelise · May 2011

How are you doing this week? Feeling ok, it's starting to already get hard to work physically since I am on my feet for 12 hours at night. Any new symptoms? Movement? Nope no movement, nada, nothing...the RLP is becoming more frequent I've noticed.Milestones? Still pregnant Smile

Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? Have a u/s next week to check cervix and SCH and still haven't scheduled my a/s yet. Dr. doesn't want to do it until 20 weeks.Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? Not a single thing.Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? Going out of town, can't wait to do nothing and eat good food!

awesnap · May 2011

Can you add me? EDD is 10/26, A/S is 6/1. I usually bump from my phone or iPad so it's hard to join every week. Thanks

How are you doing this week? Really good, I think baby is going through a growth spurt though.

Any new symptoms? Movement? Lots of RLP and stretching, increase hunger and infrequent movement! Two days ago I felt little pops and yesterday I swear I felt him/her flip.

Milestones? For sure feeling movement for the first time.

Appts? Middle of June Test results back? Nope A/S date/Team announcement? I go June 1st for the A/S, we will find out then! Thinking it's a girl though, definite girl vibes. I will be over the moon for either sex as long as everything is going well in there.

Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Yes, we have a crib and I found a really cute second hand dresser that I helped repaint. Both were great deals I couldn't pass up. Started a registry? Not yet.

Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? Brunch with the inlaws on Sunday at this amazing restaurant, it's all you can eat but they serve it family style so the food is never cold, always delicious and served right to your table. I can't wait...

fireflies0306 · May 2011

Hi everyone! I've been waiting for the check in to see how everyone is doing! I know I don't post much, but I do check on you guys regularly to make sure everyone is doing ok (emotionally and physically). but since i'll be unemployed on june 20th I'll be on more this summer!!!

Junebug060609:

How are you doing this week? Doing well, my nerves are getting the best of me as I approach the 21 w mark ( next saturday), and even though I have the doppler, and the a/s went very well (no signs of hydropsy), it doesn't seem to be helping! I am very freaked out....

Any new symptoms? Movement? no new symptoms, and a little movement (much less than with Robbie, who was bouncing off the wall of my uterus at this stage!)
Milestones? almost to the 21 w mark, so maybe i'll relax again!
Appts? Test results back? A/S date/Team announcement? ok, with my nerves, my a/s was taken last week, instead of tomorrow. but dr said baby looked perfect, and we are team blue :-) i see my high risk dr tomorrow for my first "official" prenatal appt with him (he's been scanning me and consulting since 7w). all genetic screens came back great (nice and low)...and a/s showed a heart with 4 working chambers. we go back on june 9 for another a/s to get more measurements on the face and heart (was too early last week)
Have you taken the plunge and gotten anything for baby? Started a registry? i think once we reach june 9th and get another all clear we might order the crib. we already ordered the travel system, pack and play and high chair when we started trying again, and i don't think we are having a shower, so no need to register :-)
Any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? Beach tomorrow with my girls, writing up legal stuff for a lawsuit against work that non-renewed me, and maybe beach again with DH on Sunday or Monday (unless his parents open the pool!)

lkstor · May 2011

Hi ladies! Feeling more movement this last week - but mostly still the one baby. Can't help but to worry about the other twin. Anatomy scan next Tuesday (already on list - thanks!). This week we negotiated a price and signed papers for a fabulous house and we'll be moving this summer! My son turns two next weekend and starts preschool next week. Haven't bought anything for the twins. Of course we have a lot of stuff already from DS, but I'm waiting to shop until we move

You're added!

Junebug060609 · May 2011

I was just looking at the list and realized that most of the ladies that I haven't heard anything about team or a/s date from are names I haven't seen on PgAL much. Does anyone know if they are still around either this board or the Oct BMB? I'm hoping their pregnancies are still going fine!
