  Pregnant Questions

  1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains?

  Week 38 - nearing the end!  Until yesterday, I've been physically very comfortable...but yesterday I think baby dropped (or started to drop) because my hips hurt to walk and there's more pressure in my pelvis than before.  It's not painful, just different...

  2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?

  Appointment every Wednesday until he makes his appearance...this week is another internal.  Found out last week that my Group B was negative - yay!

  3. What are you looking forward to this week?

  We've got our biggest car show of the year on Saturday (Greenwood) so this week will be all marketing stuff for the signs for the cars we bring to Greenwood - I like doing that sort of thing!  Looks like we're selling some of our personal cars too - we've got a LOT of personal cars (we find good deals and can't pass them up - then don't sell them when we find the next good deal).  So this week I've sold 3 of our 6 personal cars, one more to sell and then we'll be down to our primary cars with none just sitting!

  4. We are looking at signing up for a PEPS group. Anyone been part of one before? Other groups you?d recommend? ?courtney11405

After having a traumatizing experience with a silverfish bug during one of my bathroom trips last night, I'm looking forward to getting rid of the little buggers! I was up for two hours afterwards thinking it might have been a leech seeking to eat me alive while I slept...lol

  4. We are looking at signing up for a PEPS group. Anyone been part of one before? Other groups you?d recommend? ?courtney11405

  6. Do you honestly like being pregnant? ?ikeshawaiian06 I didn't enjoy the first trimester at all..."morning" sickness is a cruel joke. Now, I do like it.

  TTCing Questions1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Cycle 1, 2ww2. What are you looking forward to this week? brunch with friends on Saturday3. Questions for next week?  Pregnant Questions6. Do you honestly like being pregnant? ?ikeshawaiian06  I liked some parts and hated others.  I didn't love pregnancy the first time around like I thought I would.  I loved having my baby with me all the time, feeling her move early on, my baby bump.  I hated the constipation, feeling her move at the end when she nearly broke my ribs she was so big, and the never ending heart burn.

  TTCing Questions1. What cycle are you on? Waiting to O or 2WW? Break cycle #2, waiting to O. 2. What are you looking forward to this week? Running the Rock and Roll half-marathon on Saturday, and having people over for brunch post-race.  3. Questions for next week? Did people change their exercise routines significantly when TTC? After almost 2 years of this, I've pretty much given up on giving things up. It doesn't really seem to make a difference. I'm fairly certain I'm not going to want to keep running as much as I am once I'm pregnant, but should I be cutting back now? I know running isn't our problem because I didn't start running until over a year into TTC. I needed something to distract me from the whole TTC process. RJM--like I said, I've given up giving things up, but I have cut back to one cup of coffee a day. And as for soda, have you tried Dry Soda? It's caffeine free, low calorie and really satisfies my diet Coke cravings. It's expensive, but usually you can find it on sale at QFC. They have unusual flavors: vanilla bean, orange are the normal ones; rhubarb, juniper berry, cucumber and lavender are the weirder onces, but I like all of them except rhubarb.

First week back at work (I left for another job, but got talked into coming back to this one).4. We are looking at signing up for a PEPS group. Anyone been part of one before? Other groups you?d recommend? ?courtney11405 I haven't bee (this is my first child), but want to look into it.6. Do you honestly like being pregnant? ?ikeshawaiian06 Well, right now I'm so happy to be pregnant, but the actual physical feeling of pregnancy is not my favorite yet. I know it'll get better, but so far it just feels like I've had the nastiest flu for a month.7. Questions for next week?

  Pregnant Questions1. What week are you in? Any new aches or pains? Week 38.  It is getting a little harder to get comfortable at night, I have been a bit more tired, and a little swelling in my ankles at the end of the day but still feeling great otherwise. 2. When is your next appointment? Will anything special happen at that appointment?Just saw the midwife today.  Negative for GBS (yay!) and baby is still head down but getting further into my pelvis than last week (extra yay!). 3. What are you looking forward to this week?Getting through another week of work and getting some cleaning done.  Feeling like I REALLY need to have a clean house to the point of actually being excited to clean...so strange. 4. We are looking at signing up for a PEPS group. Anyone been part of one before? Other groups you?d recommend? ?courtney11405My question 6. Do you honestly like being pregnant? ?ikeshawaiian06I am naturally pretty shy so I am not a fan of all of the questions "when are you due" "how are you feeling" "boy or girl" but otherwise I have loved being pregnant.  It has been a very easy pregnancy though, no nausea at all and have been sleeping great up until the last few nights.  I love feeling the baby move and seeing my belly grow and the anticipation (especially not knowing if it will be a boy or girl) is just awesome! 7. Questions for next week?
