~~August Check-in~~

adoxyinherear · April 2012

So I've been without internet or computer access all weekend since DH dismantled our computer room to paint (no complaints from me!) so I haven't got our chart to share, and probably won't get it tonight, either, since we have to move everything back in there! Can still do most of our check-in from work, though

Good vibes for MusicBride at her appointment today, and Ladiebug for her appointment this week!

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?

Any upcoming appointments?

Any pregnancy news?

Any new symptoms?

QOTW: What's been the most pleasant surprise in your pregnancy so far? Besides being pregnant and awaiting the arrival of LO, of course! A particular symptom? Somebody's response? Something else?

bwe1100 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Really good! I guess after being released from bed rest anything feels great. I'm a little tired, but am super happy.

Any upcoming appointments? Check-up this Thursday.

Any pregnancy news? Nothing really new. Still on pelvic rest until at least Sunday, and still loving every movement I get to feel.

Any new symptoms? Nope!

My mom came out this weekend and cooked for two days to stock our freezer with food - she certainly never did that pre-pregnancy!

So glad you were released from bed rest! GL at your check up on Thursday!

adoxyinherear · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Emotionally I feel pretty great. I can feel LO move waaaay down low every night, at least, and last night the movements were so strong!

Physically I'm on and off. Some days I have a lot of energy and others, like yesterday, my hips and tailbone just ache and I want to lie down for too, too long.

Any upcoming appointments? Not until next month.

Any pregnancy news? Had a onesie decorating party on Saturday... can't wait to share pics!

QOTW: While DH was very reserved when we found out we were expecting again, I've been shocked by how patient and kind he's been within the last few months. He's always been a secretly sentimental fella, but his attending to my sometimes erratic needs and even more erratic mood swings without complaint has really made me cherish the few months we have left with just the two of us, and gives me hope for the good parenting team we're going to be.

Andreabks · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? still so far so good. counting down to V-day at this point.

Any upcoming appointments? 2 more weeks

Any pregnancy news? She really likes watermelon :-)

Any new symptoms? squished lungs! had a hard time breathing this weekend when it was hot and humid.

how well this one has gone so far. our frist pregnancy was easier (no food aversions, minimal queasyness) but baby didn't move around much. This time i've had more symptoms, but baby's been super active all along so we've had a better feeling. i still know things can go wrong at this point, but so far so good.

MusicBride · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Physically, I feel great. Energy is up, belly feels quite large, and I'm exercising as often as possible. Emotionally, I still have panicked moments from time to time, but I know his sleep and wake cycles pretty well at this point, so I can usually predict when I should be feeling him wiggle around again.

Any upcoming appointments? Today for a check up. (Thanks for the good vibes, RusalkaSings!--BTW, is your name a reference to an opera?)

Any pregnancy news? I ordered 16 Bum Genius diapers on sale last week and they shipped today. I am so excited about that purchase!

Any new symptoms? Ok, way TMI here, but the hemorrhoids are back. Things they don't tell you about pregnancy....

QOTW: My DS's reaction to the whole pregnancy/big brother thing. It melts my heart when he hugs my belly or wants to give the "baby" a kiss. He's going to be a great big brother.

kokokat · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Ow, ow, ow! Physically, I'm falling apart! I have horrible groin pain constantly, and my, uh, crotch is quite swollen these days. I spoke with my doc this morning, and apparently it's femoral nerve pain and blood pooling down there due to the weight of the baby/uterus. And there's nothing to be done! I get to endure this for another 16 weeks! Oh. Joy. Emotionally, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm doing much better. LO is quite active which is such a blessing, and I get daily reminders from him that he's ok. As long as that continues to happen, I'll live with the pain!

Any upcoming appointments? Had a regular 24 week appt today, and will have a u/s on Thursday to check the echogenic bowel spot that they found at 16 weeks. At 20 weeks, it was downgraded to "mildly echogenic", so we're hoping it's headed in that direction. If not, I'll get u/s every 4 weeks until delivery to make sure no IUGR develops.

Any pregnancy news? We got to work on the nursery this weekend! The room is already a nice grey/blue. We painted three bright orangey-pumpkin colored stripes on 3 of the walls, and they look great! It's starting to look like a little boy's room.

Any new symptoms? See above. Poor, poor groin.

QOTW: What's been the most pleasant surprise in your pregnancy so far? Besides being pregnant and awaiting the arrival of LO, of course! A particular symptom? Somebody's response? Something else?

Hmm, I'd have to say that I love the feeling of having such a special little secret (maybe not so secret anymore since I started to show a little!) Early on, I'd go into the grocery store or something, and just grin to myself at how I knew this little secret that no one else around me knew, and that made me feel special. Anyhow, I like how special I feel as a pregnant mom. I know I'm carrying this precious little cargo, and I'm getting to "know" him already. Pregnancy certainly isn't always pleasant, but I didn't really expect to be happy to have this connection to a little stranger!

noah-bear · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?

I feel like shlt. Lol. My back hurts from my shot, I have a lump on both sides now that wont go away, so I don't know what that means for injections. I either have a cold, sinus infection or some kick ass allergies going on.

Any upcoming appointments?

Next week. Not sure what it is, but I'm going in every two weeks, so I'll just show up and see what happens.

Any pregnancy news?

I now feel LO between my boobs, really high up. He's gone up, thankfuly, but that means he's now making it hard for me to breathe/sit/lay down/etc

Any new symptoms?

UNDERBOOB OWIES! Lol

QOTW: What's been the most pleasant surprise in your pregnancy so far? Besides being pregnant and awaiting the arrival of LO, of course! A particular symptom? Somebody's response? Something else?

His incredibly hard kicks. I melt when it hurts. Makes me so happy to know he's so strong. He also has an attitude and kicks for music and any pressure on my belly, including DH's head.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you're feeling so much kicking, and your description of how YH is loving you during pregnancy was beautiful.

It isn't! I made it up from, you can laugh, the name of my warlock when I was playing World of Warcraft :P

Also, I am so excited about your diapers, too!! I have a lot on our registry, but I don't know that anyone will buy them for us. So I'll certainly be looking out for some sales after June 2!

I am so sorry you are in so much pain! Hope you can find some way to get a little relief.

Also, I totally agree with your sentiment above! I absolutely loved being the only one who knew... now it's a little harder, even around strangers, but it did feel like a fabulous little grinny secret.

Thank you!! He's pretty spiff

NScott2 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? I am feeling okay. I was having a lot of contractions last week that scared me quite a bit. I went in to the OB and she said my cervix is still thick, long and closed. PHEW! I was relieved to hear that. I asked what I can do to stop them and she said nothing. I thought she might put me on bed rest or a modified bed rest, but she said to continue with my daily activity. I guess that is good. She knows what she is talking about and I have to have faith in that. She said to only worry if I have 6-8 in an hour, which I have had, but not in a consecutive hour. Sigh! I just keep telling the little guy to stay in there. I made him a promise, if he stays in until he is full term I promise to spoil him for the rest of his life. He kicked and seemed pleased with that deal. It is never too early to bribe, right? Big Smile

Any upcoming appointments? I have one on May 2. They will do the other part of the glucose test since they did mine super early due to some vision problems I was having.

Any pregnancy news? I guess nothing new to report other than the above.

Any new symptoms? Some crazy, sometimes intense contractions

Unlike with my daughter, this little guy has some strong kicks and tumbles. My daughter was a little more gentle with mommy. I am a little worried about what is to come, lol. My DH keeps joking that the LO is going to beat me up. I love feeling him move so much so I am not worried.

Good luck to everyone and I hope all the negatives of pregnancy fade for you all!

gina&dave07 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Physically I am having some tough days. I really wish that I would get a burst of energy! LO moves so low that it is really causing my bladder to really, really hurt!

Any upcoming appointments? Not for a few weeks.

Any pregnancy news? I don't think so.

Any new symptoms? Heartburn! Yuck!

QOTW: What's been the most pleasant surprise in your pregnancy so far? Besides being pregnant and awaiting the arrival of LO, of course! A particular symptom? Somebody's response? Something else?

I am so looking forward to seeing DH hold our LO for the first time. I can't wait to see DD with her little brother too. She pats my tummy every day and gives him a kiss. She is going to be the best big sister!

charmedgrl517 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?
I am feel pretty good.
Any upcoming appointments? Next appoinment is May 11. I have to get my glucose test done then too and I'm nervous about that.

Any pregnancy news? LO was moving around alot for a good hour last night and I could feel it from the outside and actually see my belly moving!!! It was amazing!! And DH got to experience it too and he was def surprised

Any new symptoms? Some lower back pain that I think is staying for awhile.

QOTW: What's been the most pleasant surprise in your pregnancy so far? Besides being pregnant and awaiting the arrival of LO, of course! A particular symptom? Somebody's response? Something else? Hmmm pleasant surprise so far is probably how active LO is! My doctors always comment on it so I don't know if its more than usual but I love it and it is the best feeling so far!

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? I am doing pretty good. My morning sickness is gone, and besides being tired, I feel like my normal self.

Any upcoming appointments? We have our GD test at my next appointment, but I don't remember when that is...

Any pregnancy news? Yes, we are having a girl!!

Any new symptoms? Baby's kicks are stronger but that is it!

Learning that my daughter is going to have a little sister has been a wonderful surprise. I always dreamed of having two little girls that would grow up and be very close. My sister and I are close, but unfortunetly didn't really grow up together because she was 11 years older. I'm happy that these two will be able to do what I didn't get to do with mine.

linfor2 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?

Physically like many of you I have been sore too! Ribs ache all the time! Emotionally great. I can feel her everyday so that helps!

Any upcoming appointments?

24 wk appt next week! My 28 week appt and glucose test is on May 31st.

Any pregnancy news?

My inlaws threw my first shower over the weekend. It was wonderful. I know its early but they wanted to and I'm so glad they did it this early. I'm still exhausted from it! Not looking forward to how I'll feel after my 2nd shower at the end of June. Although we got most of our big stuff at this one. We got so many things I feel like we're ready for lo...but she better keep cooking for awhile longer! Here's a few pics!

Any new symptoms?

Nope still tired, sore, etc.

QOTW: All I can say is how well this pregnancy is going! Its so hard after having two losses but this one is so text-book healthy I can hardly believe it!

msc233 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?

I am feeling really good after spending the weekend at a Spa (my mother's baby shower for me). Migraines are less often but lasting longer when I get them... other than the migraines I am feeling pretty darn good.

Any upcoming appointments?
Not until May, I will have my monthly OB appt and 1 hour GTT/Thyroid Check/regular bloodwork

Any pregnancy news?DH felt her move for the first time last night! And we are almost settled on the name Brianna (bree-ahh-na).
Any new symptoms? My belly moves when she gets going!

QOTW:

I really enjoy feeling her move. And it has been really nice to see how excited my FIL is for his first grand daughter.

walker03 · April 2012

How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?

Physically I am still feeling sick and my OB wants me checked out by a cardiologist because of my irregular heartbeat. I have been a nervous wreck about going to see the cardiologist.

Any upcoming appointments?

I go every two weeks for a cervical check due to my heart shaped uterus. So I have that check on May 3rd and regular OB on May 4th.

Any pregnancy news?

My sister-in-law just called to say that they were pregnant. Yay! Yes

Any new symptoms?

I have skin flaps.

QOTW: What's been the most pleasant surprise in your pregnancy so far?

I love when people tell me how great I look. Smile

CabbageCabbage:

Any new symptoms? Feeling my lady ever day many times now. It's fantastic. Growing a belly like you wouldn't believe and heartburn that could catch fire. My hips and back crack and creak now. I am going to be a waddler. I can tell already.

You and me both, lady!

I'll be thinking of you! Hope everything checks out okay.

Bluenoser4ever:

Any upcoming appointments? I've got my first appt. at the maternity clinic on Monday. Up until now, I've been seeing my family doctor. I also have the 1hr GD test next Friday. Fingers crossed I won't have to do the 3hr one!!

GL!!! I'm dreading this test.
