October Checkin

drvst8 · July 2012

Good morning ladies. I hope all is well this weeks. I've been seeing more and more double digit announcements. Congrats to everyone! Does it seem like this summer is going super fast or is it just me? 3rf tri here we come!

How are you feeling?

Any appts or updates?

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's?

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Baby girl's movements are getting more consistent so that is all I really need to make me feel good.

Updates or appts: I have a RPN with the MW Monday 7/16.This will probably be my last monthly visit. I'm traveling to Houston at the end of the month for work and she is going to see me before I leave and then I will be in 3rd tri so...yay for more appts. MFM didn't want to see me for 8 weeks so we don't go there till 8/27 for a growth scan. Plus we'll be starting twice a week NST and AFI's around that time.

GTKY: Not yet but I guess I should start. I have a lot of stuff to do I guess.

SouthernBellaKS · July 2012

How are you feeling? Sleepy tired. I wish LO's movements would be a little more regular like they were before, but they're still frequent enough that I don't panic. His movements have moved from the left side to the center as of yesterday.

Any appts or updates? I'm supposed to go take my GD test next week, and have to fast for that. My next OB appt. is 7/31, and then we move to bi-weekly after that. We're still getting shuffled around the practice to meet everybody, and I have to say, I'm ready to be settled with just my OB and one MW.

GTKY: DH and I have checked out some things on Etsy, but nothing picked out yet. I don't want anything too fancy, but am also trying to find something that will be a little loose but also weather appropriate since it should be a bit chilly.

sld5711 · July 2012

Hi I am new to the check in! My doctor changed my due date last appt which made me an October Mama instead of November : ). Can I please be added to the list? My little guy is due October 28th!

How are you feeling? I am feeling good...my job is getting a little stressful which is causing me some serious heartburn but another than that I have no complaints and things are going well. Also LO is moving alot more (or I am actually realizing its baby movement and not gas or hunger pains) and its awesome. It took me until 23 weeks to finally feel him so it still bring a huge smile to my face when ever I do.

Any appts or updates? Next week I take my 1 hour glucose test but nothing until then

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? My DH is a marine so I found some baby dress blues that we are going to bring our little man home in! I am also going to get it in another size so we can do like his 9 month pics or possibly 1 year pics in the outfit.

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

LexiSophie55 · July 2012

How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good. Starting to feel my muscles/joints doing some changing, but no pain yet. I also have had a few bouts of nausea, nothing horrible. The baby has been sleeping more the last few days, it drives me nuts.

Any appts or updates? I had a check up yesterday. I measured 26 weeks exactly. Glucose test is next week. And, the big Fetal Echo is on Tuesday - we need the fluid pocket to have disappeared. Prayers and luck needed

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? We don't really care. We are pretty sure we'll just see what we get for gifts and pick one of those. We do have a Green Bay Packer knitted hat that the baby will be wearing

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

KJohnson826 · July 2012

How are you feeling? I've been feeling pretty good. Haven't felt too good since my glucose test. I have a sensitive stomach, but I am starting to feel better. I've started having trouble sleeping, and hip pain, but other than that, pretty good.

Any appts or updates? Next appointment is July 31st. My doctor didn't call me with the results of my GTT, and she told me she would only call if there was something she was worried about, so I am going to assume unless I hear otherwise, no GD for me. They also drew blood to check my iron levels, so I will assume that is fine too. We also have our childbirth class on July 22nd.

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? Nope, I think I am waiting until after my shower, just in case someone buys an adorable outfit I want her to wear home.

race-to-be · July 2012

How are you feeling? Still pretty good! Getting a little more anxious about bringing him home and his movements. Little Boy was super sleepy over the weekend and Monday, but yesterday and today he's been going nuts. We starting to feel more prepared, though - prenatal classes start Saturday, the nursery is painted, and we have a car seat and stroller!

Any appts or updates? Next appointment is in two and a half weeks. Looks like I passed my GD test since my doctor didn't call to say otherwise.

GTKY: I think we'll wait until after my shower like KJohnson. I haven't started looking at any other options yet.

Petunia844 · July 2012

How are you feeling? Nice and rested after our little vacation. Just loving and counting on this little man's regular movements.

Updates or appts? We have a growth scan today and I can't wait to see how much he's grown. We've already started growth scans every 4 weeks, OB visits every two to check blood pressure... starting at 30 weeks I'll be seeing one or the other Dr. every week which I think will be good for my sanity.

GTKY: No, we had kind of agreed we weren't going to start preparing for him until the 3rd tri, now that that's pretty much here...I'm trying not to freak out. Getting a take home outfit will be on that list.... as sad as it is to say, I never picked one out for Peyton-- and I couldn't tell you why.

tiffmatt · July 2012

How are you feeling? Finally getting that 2nd Tri energy people talk about. It doesn't last for long, but I got in over two hours of solid cleaning done on Saturday. The house def needed that.

Any appts or updates? Lil man is growing well. Starting to look at birthing classes, meeting with a doula, meeting with a pedi... they're spread out, but I feel so much better having a plan.

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? I always refer to DH as my hero. Through a number of things, he has become assicated with Captain America. Well I got lil man an awesome Captain America onesie from Etsy. The logo is handmade and stitched on. As or right now that is likely what he will be coming home in. I will also do a few of my maternity pics w the onesie draped on my belly so I can have cute after shots w him it in.

luvinlifeMN · July 2012

How are you feeling? Pretty good. I sunburned my stomach on Sunday and ever since then it has been itching like crazy! I was only out an hour so I didn't think much of putting on sunscreen but apparently my very un-tanned skin burned much faster than I thought it would. My skin that is normal exposed didn't burn at all!

Any appts or updates? I just got back from my three hour GTT. It wasn't that bad except I was starving by the end because they cut me off of food and water after dinner last night. I'm hoping the sandwich I just ate will kick in soon. Praying I pass the test - should know in 3-4 days.

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? We went looking but didn't find anything we liked. It was all too summery. DH wants something a lot more fall-ish so we'll wait a month or so and go back and try again.

Eveanyn · July 2012

Hi, ladies!! Sld, welcome to the October club! I'd like to say we're a good bunch.

How are you feeling? I go back and forth between really tired and really energetic. I was able to run 1/4 mile last night before my pelvic ligaments started hurting, so that's good! Back pain comes and goes, but it's a killer when it's here. I'm trying to do more pool work to keep the physical stress off my belly.

Any appts or updates? Just had my LAST MFM appt today!! Oliver's looking fantastic, growth is right where it should be, and his bones are long, ribs are developed, and all organs look good. I've been officially cleared! Tomorrow is my glucose tolerance test (one hour)...FX that I pass with flying colors!

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? We've thought about the outfit, but being so early in October we're trying to look at both short-sleeved and long-sleeved outfits. We bought a couple of onesies and are going to decide when the time comes based on weather.

cutebride73 · July 2012

How are you feeling? I am feeling okay - some good days and some not so good days. I think having 2 in there really takes an extra toll. I am off work for another 4 weeks (summer break), but I am worried about whether I will be able to start back to work. I just have so many days that I don't feel like doing much and I have a lot of braxton hicks.

Any appts or updates? I have an OB appt. next week and after that I will start having every 2 week appt's. I have a growth u/s the week after that at the MFM (every 4 weeks). Oh and I am also having two boys! I noticed that wasn't updated on the chart.

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? I have been thinking about it and I guess it is really going to depend on whether they come early or at around 38 weeks. And the weather! I guess I need to pick up a preemie outfit just in case. Otherwise I am debating on a couple of things and I may still end up buying something else. I have these cute little light blue sleepers that we got in Italy and I am strongly considering having them wear those home.

mork · July 2012

Hi ladies! Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I can't believe we're getting so close already!

I'm feeling pretty good physically, just some vaginal pressure occasionally. ToT looks great, the only potential issue is a possible blood vessel blocking her way out. We'll know more after our next u/s in a couple weeks.

GTKY: I actually have a little dress I bought on vacation with my mom a few years back that will be her take home outfit. It looked my grandmother, and I liked it. (Think a little white mexican day dress with a few little blue flowers at the neckline.) I just want to find a cute diaper cover/bloomers, and get a cute pair of lace shoes I saw a while back.

tbone_bride · July 2012

How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. Still have my low back/tailbone pain. Trying an accupuncturist tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Next appt is the 16th alomg with my GTT.

Take home outfit - haven't given it much thought yet. When my DD was born I had a really cute outfit picked out. But it was too big for her and honestly I was too stressed out and worried being a new mom that I just put her in a onesie! Plus it was like 100 degrees outside Once I relaxed after a day or two I dressed her up in all her cute clothes. I'll probably end up doing the same with this little guy.

kbhaynes · July 2012

How are you feeling? Feeling great! Still having back issues, but I am just happy to be pregnant with a healthy baby

Any appts or updates? Appt that I was supposed to have today was rescheduled for Friday the 13th. I'll be scheduling my glucose test at my next appointment, and I'm also going to schedule an elective 3D u/s for around 28wks. I'm excited.

GTKY:Have you thought about your LO's take home outfit yet? Any idea's? Nope, not yet. We have been so consumed with registering for items that we haven't really looked at clothes yet. Since baby girl is hopefully going to be born before Halloween, we are probably going to find some type of ridiculously cute newborn costume to bring her home in.
