~~Tuesday Ticker Change Check In~~

lisaNDmike08 · February 2012

Happy Tuesday, everyone! What?s your ticker reading this Tuesday? Any big ups, downs or milestones to share?

Shameless AW/special request: I have now reached full term (woohoo!) and will probably deliver sometime within the next couple of weeks (eek!). I have escaped the 37 week induction that seemed likely when I was first put on bed rest at 24 weeks, but my doctors are watching me closely to determine the next steps for delivery. I hope to be around until at least 39 weeks but would hate to leave everyone hanging. Is there anyone else who would be interested in taking over the Tuesday check in starting next week?

QOTW: What is your favorite thing about this pregnancy (or what are you most looking forward to)? Anything you?re looking forward to about not being pregnant eventually (after a safe and healthy delivery of your LO)?

Alaskabride: So happy to hear your great first ultrasound news! How fun! When is your next appointment? How has the first trimester been treating you?

Ebarmywife: How was your ultrasound yesterday? How are you feeling these days?

jenada2011: Glad you?re feeling pretty well so far. Big hugs to you for the PGAL worries ? it is definitely not an easy road but it does get easier eventually. Sort of. :-p Here?s hoping the next few weeks fly by until your first appointment!

JulesPplus: Congrats on passing your 1 hr GTT! You are certainly not missing anything with the 3 hr GTT ? yuck. How are you feeling these days? Any baby-related projects ahead for these last couple of months?

shasteencorin: Welcome to the check in and congrats on reaching the end of the first trimester! I hope you?re feeling well. Being PGAL is so hard, but big hugs to you and hang in there! So glad things are going well for you so far!

VineyardMel: So glad your appointment went so well last week! Anything else new?

Zoey1309: I hope you?re starting to see some relief in the nausea. That?s no fun. Here?s hoping this week goes by quickly for you while you wait for your next appointment!

Anything new with any other Tuesday girls? Anyone new want to join us? Hope everyone?s week is off to a great start!

Hey!! My ultrasound went well (that I know of!). Dr is going to check it over, just to make sure. Baby girl is still head down, and weighing in at about 6lbs (+/-). We got an AWESOME 3D pic of her with her hands AND feet by her head! You can see her toes and everything! I have 3 weeks left, my c/s is officially on the books for March 20th at 7am. Woo hoo!! I'm so ready for this pregnancy to be over with. I'm tired of hurting ALL DAY long.

QOTW: My favorite thing about this pregnancy so far has been my kids reaction to my growing belly. They love to pat my belly and say hi to Baby Abby. Though, I cannot WAIT to hold her and feed her and snuggle her and love on her and....you get the idea. I am really looking forward to being able to stand up without hurting, and sleeping on my back/stomach. I miss that.

I'd like to join you ladies. I used to be part of the Friday ticker changes but my due date was moved up from 9/7 to 9/4 so I'm a Tuesday girl now!

I think my favorite thing about this pregnancy so far is how smooth things have been going *Knock on Wood*. All of my betas, u/s's and appointments have gone great. All of my other pregnancies had so many ups, downs, and scary moments that it's nice to have things go ok for a change! I'm really looking forward to a break from TTC or pregnancy and just being able to focus on DH, myself and our LO and us as a family. Other than that I definitely can't wait for some wine!!!

jenada2011 · February 2012

Hello Ladies!

DH and I went for an Information Meeting at our Midwife's Office last night and it was amazing. The midwifes are all really nice and I can't wait for my first appointement! Smile I wouldn't mind taking over the Check-In, if no one else volunteers. Wink

QOTD: I'm looking forward to the summer and buying cute maternity clothes. And when LO is here and everything went well, I'm looking forward to having a drink or two. DH drank a beer last night and that was torture! Big Smile

MsVolley02 · February 2012

Hi Everyone! Congrats LisaandMike for making it this far, I know first hand how scary it can be once they start threatening early induction so it might feel great to have made it so far!

I finally caved and decided to go on a leave of absence from work starting tomorrow. It works out before for my short term disability and since my company is switching carriers starting tomorrow, if I wait I would get less and I know that they doctor will be taking me out of work soon. So I just went ahead and did it. I know the doctor will be happy, my home BPs are definitely going down and I am doing another 24 hour at the end of this week since I would prefer to do it at home instead of work.

Last appt everything was coming down or starting to level off, so I am hoping now that I will be home, they will continue to do the same! Keep me in your thoughts!

QOTW: I love being able to proud of my belly. Although I feel huge I am so happy to be able to be proud of that belly sticking out there! However, I am ready to stop worrying so much so I will be just happy when he is here and there isn't so much worry about the pregnancy. I know I will always worry about him, but at least he will be here for me to hold!

MarxieVonTrapp · February 2012

I'd love to help you out, but I'm only a few weeks behind you.

Things are going well for me--33 weeks today! My shower was nice, fun, and I got some really thoughtful gifts. Next shower is in two weeks. Time is flying right by! Next appointment is next week, and then I go every week...crazy.

QOTW: What is your favorite thing about this pregnancy (or what are you most looking forward to)? I really like the perks of being pregnant. Better parking, cutting the line for the bathroom, discounts at stores because the cashier's mom/sister/wife is pregnant, too. Obviously, I love feeling the LO move around, but right now, that's a huge bonus. And the excitement that other people have for me...I feel like I bring joy wherever I go some days.

Anything you?re looking forward to about not being pregnant eventually (after a safe and healthy delivery of your LO)? I'm really looking forward to an ice cold beer. Other than that, I'm really excited to see who this LO looks like. I'm quite dark (dark eyebrows, hair and eyes) and DH is quite fair (blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin) so the result should be interesting.

Just being pregnant and not having any spotting. I am most looking forward to the constant morning sickness to go away!

Alaskabride: So happy to hear your great first ultrasound news! How fun! When is your next appointment? How has the first trimester been treating you?

Thank you! My next appointment is 3/20. First tri is not nice to me. When I was pregnant with my DS, I was placed on bed rest at 9 weeks due to my hyperemesis. For the time I was on bedrest (6 weeks) I received daily fluids for the first 2 weeks, and then every-other-day for the last 4 weeks. With this pregnancy, I have been on Zofran pretty much since I got my BFP (same thing happened with the pregnancy I lost). Unfortunately this time around I have still vomited a few times with the zofran in my system. If it continues to happen I will be calling my doc to see what they want to do about it and see if they feel the need to put me on infusions of fluids like before.

ETA: I am 7 weeks today!

VineyardMel · February 2012

Congrats on making it to full term and escaping the early induction! I can't even imagine what it must be like to be so close to delivering!

I'm doing well--today I'm double digits! Quarter-baked! It's a wonderful milestone and we're so excited to be 25% done.

QOTW: This pregnancy has been hard so far only because I don't believe it yet. I'm looking forward to getting past 1st tri, telling people and starting to show so it might start to feel real. I'm really looking forward to a point when I can enjoy the pregnancy without feeling like I'll jinx it if I do. After delivery I'm looking forward to a lovely glass of wine and just getting to know this new little member of our family.

QOTW: What is your favorite thing about this pregnancy (or what are you most looking forward to)? Anything you?re looking forward to about not being pregnant eventually (after a safe and healthy delivery of your LO)?

My favorite thing about this pregnancy is now feeling LO move so much. Its fun to feel that and watch for her nap times and busy times and hiccups... you get the picture. I love to watch my belly move! Unfortunately, it does make me get a bit more anxious to have her here in my arms! Maybe its just the fact that I'm 31 wks and really looking forward to the end of April but definitely feeling more like I want to snuggle and love on this girl without my belly being in the way.

I'm looking forward to having a nice big glass of wine with my DH after LO arrives! We are like a couple of old folks who sit out in our garage and listen to the radio and have a drink watching people go by... and I miss that! 'Course it'll be a little different with LO around but luckily the RNP is movable! Wink

JulesPplus: Congrats on passing your 1 hr GTT! You are certainly not missing anything with the 3 hr GTT ? yuck. How are you feeling these days? Any baby-related projects ahead for these last couple of months?

Thank you!! I feeling pretty good - the aches and pains are getting a little more prominent and I'm pretty wiped out but its all to be expected at this point. I officially scheduled my materinity leave today with HR so my last day of work will be 03APR!! I'm so excited - the countdown has started!! 5 more weeks.... No big baby-related projects per se but I do have a shower coming up in a couple weeks which should be a hoot - some really fun girls from work are throwing it for me - should be fun and I'm really looking forward to it!

naflmj · February 2012

My MFM appt went well last week. The babies are both measuring close to the 50% and cervix is nice and long. I am starting to hit a wall but otherwise feel OK. I just feel sad for DS because when I get home from work, I am just needing to rest so we are doing way too much movie watching. Oh well, this too shall pass. I see the OB in a couple weeks and have my GTT.

QOTW: My favorite thing is getting to see the babies so much. Otherwise, this is so much harder than my first pregnancy but as long as they are healthy I can't complain. I am really looking forward to wine and sushi

mscandyman · February 2012

Congrats on proving your docs wrong!

I'm doing really well, surprisingly so. The only thing that has been giving me anxiety is my damn registry! Although my shower isn't for almost another 2 months, my friends and family are nagging me to get it complete. While I am so lucky to have people in my life who care enough to want to be a part of this, enough already! I hope to have it done within the next 2 weeks so I can go back to enjoying my pregnancy. On a positive note, we bought our crib yesterday so I feel like I'm making process.

QOTW- What is your favorite thing about this pregnancy (or what are you most looking forward to)? Warmer weather!!! I'm just starting to look like I'm pregnant and not just fat. Can't wait to be able to wear something other than sweaters to show it off. Oh, and like I said above, I can't believe how smoothly this pregnancy is going (knock on wood.) After all the issues we had to get here, I'm surprised how text book things are progressing. Jut hope the delivery is as smooth.

Anything you?re looking forward to about not being pregnant eventually (after a safe and healthy delivery of your LO)? Watching my DH with our baby girl. I just know he's going to be a wonderful dad. That, and enjoying a glass of wine with a side of Margarita!

sassy77 · February 2012

My surgery went well and I am happy that I have sure wonderful bump "friends", IRL friends and family members. I just have to rest up due to the meds that they gave me. I'm really happy that I am not having pain just wanting the spotting to stop all together now...I was warned that I would have the spotting so no worries.

I go back for my follow up on 3-8.

QOTW: What is your favorite thing about this pregnancy (or what are you most looking forward to)? Anything you?re looking forward to about not being pregnant eventually (after a safe and healthy delivery of your LO)?

My favorite thing about this pregnancy is how much attention my doctors are paying attention. All of the precautions that they are doing. I am looking forward to holding my baby. ;-)

jenada2011:
I wouldn't mind taking over the Check-In, if no one else volunteers.

Thank you!! That would be awesome. I really appreciate it!

lisaNDmike08 · February 2012

My big news is already listed above, but otherwise I'm still hanging in there. Have been on a major organizing kick lately and am getting rid of stuff and scouring like crazy. Now I just need to find someone to haul these bags and bags of things out of here! Silly nesting pregnant person!

QOTW: I love having a belly and getting special treatment from family, friends and strangers. It reminds me of being engaged and getting to share in our excitement about that with our family and friends. Definitely much preferable to suffering in silence in the first tri and not showing much in the second tri!

I do not love being so stiff and sore every time I do pretty much anything. I am very much looking forward to being more mobile again! I also can't wait to wear my wedding rings again and be able to hug (and do other things with :-p) DH more. Mostly I can't wait to finally hold our son and love the heck out of him.

My favorite thing about being pregnant is feeling her move around. Having the reassurance that everything is okay is honestly more than I could ever ask for.

I'm excited to not be pregnant because I'll finally be able to relax a little once she is here & safe in my arms.
