Re: ~*3T Graduates*~

  • Good morning 3T!

    Congratulations to the recent BFP's, I am thrilled for you ladies! And as always the best of luck to those that are cycling right now <3

    I hit 34 weeks on Tuesday and am trucking along. It's starting to get uncomfortable now with backaches, insomnia and sciatic nerve pain, but that's all doable. I have gained 23 lbs so far and at my check-up on Tuesday, Alex's heart beat was in the 160's and everything measured right on track. In 2 weeks I will have the GBS swab done and my first internal and then I am down to weekly appointmens. Only 2 1/2 more weeks at work left, which I am very happy about! Big Smile

  • Hi ladies!  I just had my 14 week (!) checkup and got to hear the little heartbeat on the doppler this time, along with a thumping noise that the OB said is Baby Elf bumping against my uterus (can't feel a thing yet!).  I'm feeling mostly good right now, physically and mentally/emotionally.

    I still don't think I'm showing in any way that would be obvious to anyone but me, but my pants would barely zip yesterday, so I think I'm almost to the point where I will look pregnant (instead of just looking like I made too many trips to Dunkin Donuts!)   We decided we're finally going to tell our families at Thanksgiving, then the rest of the world after that. 

    Wishing you all the best of luck with your cycles.  Hugs to those who need them.  I miss you!  

    ETA:  Papps -- your baby is freaking adorable!!!

    Hey guys! Congrats again to Ging and Blueberries.... I'm so excited for you guys!

    Things are going well here.... Our little turtle is already over a month which seems insane to me! We're slowly working on 4ish hours of straight sleep a night (which is up from 2 to 3 hours) and makes me really happy! 

    Best of luck to those cycling soon! xo

    Here's a few pics from the other day, they're from my phone so not the best quality :)

    You look great momma! :) I can't believe you are so close! I know I probably think or say this about so many bumpies, but it really is shocking to realize how much time has passed when I see people who are only a few weeks away from the end of their pregnancies!

  • I am really sorry about the seperate post before! I didnt see this to put it on here.

    Had 1st Ultrasound this Am and so far looks good. We go to hear heartbeat on the 28th. Still nervous but very excited!

  • Good morning ladies!! I hope you are all doing well, and good luck to all of those cycling!

    I don't have too much to report this week. I had a major brain fart on Monday. I went to go do my GD test, and just after I drank the glucose drink, I look in my purse to find an appointment card that says that my OB appointment was happening at the same time across town.. LOL Grrr.... I had to reschedule it for Monday, and I'm assuming I won't have my GD test results until then, but here's to hoping I passed! They also tested me for high blood pressure, so I'm really hoping that comes back clean as well.

    Here's a pic from Tuesday. Ashley is getting big. She moves a lot now, and usually all night long. I think DH and I are in for it.. It feels like she never sleeps. LOL Oh well, we can't wait for her to get here!!!

  • Hello 3T!  I am super excited to have seen the recent BFPs and lots of good vibes to those who are cycling.

    I had a check-up earlier this week.  HB is 140 and I have gained 14 pounds so far so the Dr and I are happy about that.  I go to 3 week appointments instead of 4 now.  That's all that is going on.

    I hope to have some pics at the next check-in of the nursery.  We have a contractor replacing all the doors and trim due to lead and OCD mama-to-be is having them putting in new drywall just to be extra cautious.

    Papps, your LO is so adorable!

    YNK and Ric, both of you ladies look great!

    <3 Tons of love and hugs to Ricola & Baby Alex <3 <br> MySweetBaboo, IRL friend, always rooting for Baboo #2, love ya girl!<3 <br> 7.7.11 BFP | 3.19.12 EDD | 3.14.12 Baby Girl's BDay

  • Hi ladies of 3T!! 

    I am still trucking along. Yesterday was my last day of work and I am officially a SAHM waiting for little one to arrive.  I still feel like its far away and havent packed a hospital bag or washed baby clothes or installed the car seat.  I have dr's appointments every week now with my first cervical check coming up on Tuesday.  I am hoping for a little progress or sign that LO is getting ready for her debut.

    Papps I love the pictures of your little girl.

    Punky I can not wait to see pictures of your team green nursery!

    Ricola and YNK I love your bumps:)

    Congrats again to all the new BFPs, we have a lot of gals on my BMB that are from here and IF.....it is nice to have them to talk to.

  • Congratulations to all the recent graduates!!  I'm starting to recognize fewer people on 3T. I hope that is because all of the long timers are starting to get their BFPs!!  Good luck to all the ladies of 3T!!

    I had my 14 week OB appointment yesterday.  Because of some bleeding scares and persistent spotting for a couple of weeks, I had another ultrasound.  Baby STL looks great!  Baby STL has been changing positions for each ultrasound.  On 11/7, baby was laying on its tummy.  On 11/10, baby was laying on its back.  Yesterday, baby was standing on its head with its legs stretched out.  I hope the ultrasound picture below is clear enough for you to see!

  • It's been a long time since i've checked in, but I am a regular TTTC stalker and am constantly cheering you guys on!

    I'll be 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow, which seems absolutely absurd.  Where has the time gone?  I feel pretty good other than some intense pelvic/groin pain, which is pretty constant and makes it very difficult to walk! 

    I can't remember whether I've check in since we chose a name.  Baby boy will be named Ryder Dylan.  He gave us a scare with some contractions at around 33 weeks, but he has been on good behavior ever since then. 

    Here is my most recent belly pic (34 weeks) with a special appearance by my pup:

  • Hi ladies! I'm always here being a dirty lurker! I can't help myself...

    Not much news here. I'm still on my supps and I am looking forward to my u/s on Monday. I'll be seven weeks! My RE keeps you around until ten weeks doing weekly u/s's and b/w. it really helps ease my mind but I have to admit that I do get really nervous before each appt. 

     I've been feeling great, no m/s. I do have a lot of food aversions, boo! But it's okay, I think I'm gonna make it ;) I've got enough fluff to last me awhile!

     I'm doing fairly good.  I have a little bit of a rash that's started and just hoping it get's better and isn't PUPPS.  Other than that baby is good and I have another OB appt. tomorrow.  I did hit Viability Day on Tuesday which made me feel great to know that lil man has a fighting chance at this point.  Here's my most recent belly shot:

  • I love reading everyone's update, and I cana't believe I get to post mine Smile

    I'm 9 weeks today, and I'm still too paranoid to post a ticker, Embarrassed I think I'll do that once I hit 2nd tri.

    So far things are going great, the first few weeks were nerve wrecking due to some heavy bleeding from a fibroid. It has subsided for now, and we even got to see our little bean the other day.

  • Hi Ladies!  Glad to see everyone's doing well :)

    We had our 7 week ultrasound on Monday and got to see our LO with a nice HB of 133. 

    The spotting has stopped for the last few weeks (other than a couple isolated 'dots' a week back).  I'm hoping it stays away for good now! 

    No bump/blump or real morning sickness yet! Just some minor nausea.
