QOTW: With the official start of fall/autumn just around the corner, what is your favourite season, and why?

I agree... fall is my favorite as well. I'd list why but sadly I can't partake in any of the yummy pumpkin goodness this year. See my vent...

Updates/vents:

Just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. And only after 3 days of watching my blood sugar levels, they've already put me on insulin 4x a day. My levels are out of control. I'm very frustrated.

I haven't updated in a few weeks because of how busy work is right now and then I update and whine. Sorry about that!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!!

I'm so sorry you have GD and have to avoid all the yummy fall baking, that is definitely tough. Hopefully you will adjust to the diet and your sugar levels with stablize with the insulin shots. And don't you apologize for missing a few check-ins or venting when you do check-in. We are here to listen and provide support, whenever you need it no matter how often you check-in. ((HUGS))

Now that we live in Florida, my favorite season is Winter!!! I used to hate it when I lived up North, but it's so pleasant here.

Updates/vents: had OB appointment today. Everything seems ok... Had 1 hour glucose drawn. Hope its normal... I barely kept the stuff down....

So ready to not be pregnant anymore. Too bad I have another 11 weeks to go!!!

I failed my 1hr, but passed the 2hr with textbook pass levels, thank goodness. Hopefully you pass straight away and don't have to do the 2 or 3 hr.

I think Ashton Gray is great!

QOTW: With the official start of fall/autumn just around the corner, what is your favourite season, and why? Love fall! The crisp, cool air, low humidity, leaves changing, cider, pumpkin spiced latte, the colors.......I could go on and on. I'm a fall baby (Oct) too so that might have something to do with it.

Updates/vents: I'm week 11 now and my nausea has pretty much abated (thank you God!), although I still have bouts of exhaustion. I did good on Saturday, totally revved up and ready to rock and roll! Cleaned my whole house, THOROUGHLY- it had fallen into a complete disarray. So, it was a great feeling to have everything sparkling, light some fall candles and watch a movie with my husband that nite w/out feeling like I was neglecting anything. Today, different story- I was so tired, I took TWO naps! I think I had an activity hangover- haha!

Thank you for the compliment on the name. It was a tough process, but I think we found the perfect one for our little man. As for your energy rush and subsequent crash, that happens to me all the time. On the weekend I was so exhausted I could barely get out of bed, then last night I gave the dog a haircut and taped off all the trim on the main hallway and entry so I can start painting tonight. We'll see how I feel tomorrow after painting tonight.

PginSA:

QOTW: well, it is early spring here, so that may change my opinion, but I love spring. I love the smell of it, the flowers, the promise in the warm air, the sprouting things. The trees are starting to bloom now, the birds are coming back, and I feel incredible.

Updates: the downside to spring is weeding, and my back is so sore (eek, already?!) that I have to sit and watch the weeds take over. I feel like a creaky old lady already!

Oops, I forgot we had posters from overseas and the southern hemisphere! Where ever you are weeding sucks, although if I didn't have weeds in my backyard, there would be no green back there at all. With the drought this past summer, our grass is DEAD!

QOTW: With the official start of fall/autumn just around the corner, what is your favourite season, and why? Favorite season would be Fall - Love the change in the weather - the air feels crisp and cooler - love jeans and sweatshirt weather. Football season starts, the leaves change, have fires in the fire pit at night.

Updates/vents: Completed our Childbirth Express class last night, have a Dr appt tonight followed by our BF class and then we are done with classes.

The nursery should be completed by Sunday so DH is going to take off work and put together all the furniture and get it in the room so I can decorate and go through the 8 bins of hand me down clothes and shoes we were Very Generously given by SIL and a close family friend.

Had my side of the family's baby shower on Sunday, was Amazing, such great family and friends! Best gifts were the gorgeous crotcheted baby blanket from my sister and my Dad's bronzed baby shoes (he passed away 2 years ago this Jan) from my Mom. Both brought tears to my eyes at how special and thoughtful they were.

Reading this brought a tear to my eye...so special.

QOTW: With the official start of fall/autumn just around the corner, what is your favourite season, and why?

I have to say I'm a Christmas kind of gal. not for the gifts, I LOVE the decorations and the overall festivities of it, so I have to say winter.

Updates/vents:

Update: I am 40 weeks pregnant tomorrow!!! I had my last prenatal check up yesterday, I am not dialated at all yet, but that can change any time now. Given my AMA status and the previous csect, my doc scheduled a csect for 9/25. I'm hoping I go into labor on my own before then, but it's not looking very hopeful. I had a NST this morning, my fluid is a "little on the low side" but the baby performed perfectly for the monitors. I'll have 1 more on Friday.

Elocin:

Stacey- I'm insulin dependant GD, too.

Benoit- I really like Ashton Gray. It sounds great with Carter.

I love the fall as well. Late summer, early fall is my favorite time of year. I just don't like that it turns into winter. I also really enjoy summer! The long days, cooking out, being outside, all that stuff. And spring is great, too! Let's just say I don't like winter.

I really don't have any updates. I'm starting to feel a bit "weighted" in the front. I haven't truely popped yet, but there's definately a heaviness when I bend over. I am DYING to feel some real movement though. OB appointment on the 28th.

Thanks we love the names of our boys! As for winter, I live in snow country and the only good thing about Winter is hockey season! Movement is the part of pg I will miss the most once this one is born. He's our last, so I am enjoying every little kick, punch and roll.

Isn't nice to have a definite end in sight. My doc scheduled my c/s, its Nov 26, so we will meet this little man in 68d or less. I love knowing that there is a true countdown!

I am kind of happy about the lockout. I am heavily involved with the Kitchener Rangers hockey club. We have a bunch of guys on our roster that could be playing in the NHL or AHL if there was hockey (Ryan Murphy, 1st rd CAR; Radek Faksa, 1st rd DAL; Tobias Reider, 2nd rd EDM; John Gibson 2nd rd ANH; Matt Puempel, 1st rd OTT). Because of the lockout, there guys will be here at least for the first half, which is great news for my team! NHL hockey will likely start in December, just before the Winter Classic because the league will not want to give up all that revenue. I am a little disappointed for the LA Kings, nothing like having to put off your banner raising because everyone is so DAMN greedy.

I at least have good Division 1 college hockey and there is HS hockey the state tournament in March is great but not the same as NHL. No minor league teams near by

tcfreedom · September 2012

Hi guys . My due date got bumped up to 4-15

QOTW: another vote for Fall. In New England, you just can't beat the picturesque scenery, picking apples, making soup, wearing boots & leather jacket. The best.

Updates/vents: good - I have the a/s on Monday and we'll find out boy/girl! Stress- I'm on my last pair of pre-preg jeans, no skirts/dresses and must shop this weekend. The belly has arrived!

Happy shopping! ON had a sale on maternity last week, it might still be on. And Motherhood maternity had bras on sale buy 3 and get 1 free last weekend...you might want to see if that's still on!

katieknitsny · September 2012

My favorite season is summer! I love the warmth, not having to wear bulky clothing, eating outside, doing all of the warm-weather activities! I am melancholy about now as the leaves begin to change and everything starts to die.

Updates:

My midwife today moved by EDD back to March 8, which means I skip week 15 entirely and move on to week 16. I'm not excited about this - I really don't believe their estimate is correct (we didn't even BD that week or the week before!) and I need that extra week for work/prep/travel! LOL!

I have my 16 week anatomy scan tomorrow...maybe they will update again then.

gundy21 · September 2012

QOTW - I am a summer girl - I love sailing on Lake Michigan. Fall is a close second tho!

Updates - Haven't been on TB much lately - work installed a new internet firewall and the site is blocked. And by the time I get home I am pooped! I had a checkup today. I have lost about 25 pounds so far - Zofran wasn't cutting it, so we are trying Reglan for a little bit. Can't believe I am over 15 weeks and still battling all day m/s. Everything is looking good so far. The NT scan improved our downs odds to 1:2000 and trisomy 13 to about 1:3500. Can't believe our anatomy scan is in 4 weeks!

OMG, I am sorry m/s is so awful that you've lost that much weight. I'm sure even if you had the weight to lose, this is NOT your preferred weight loss program. I hope the new meds provide some relief. Sorry about work and the firewall...I'm so relieved my employer hasn't figured out TB yet! LOL!
