Re: August '11 Pregnant Moms Check In
How many weeks? 20 weeks, halfway there!
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Went to a Mom 2 Mom sale this past weekend and bought some boy sheets, another changing pad thing and diaper genie, a few boy swaddle-me's and zipper sack things.
How are you feeling this week? Pretty good. Only complaint would be random hip pain when I sleep on my side. However, putting a pillow between my legs has solved this issue.
When is your next appointment? 1 week from tomorrow.
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Hoping for a natural birth, but would be more than okay with the epidural again!
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Not that I can think of.....
How many weeks? 7 weeks exactly!
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? One gender neutral pajama to celebrate.
How are you feeling this week? Morning sickness!! Less cramping though.
When is your next appointment? FRIDAY!! I have an ultrasound! So excited and so very nervous.
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Hoping for a VBAC!
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) I'll let you guys know what happens on Friday
How many weeks? 9w2d
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Nope.
How are you feeling this week? Ugh. But could be worse, really.
When is your next appointment? Oct. 30th.
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Not sure? Aiming for natural, since I made it almost all the way to the end last time, but my support people were too busy chatting with one another to coach me, lol. Hopefully this time I can find a way to get myself through, and it's going to be just me and DH this time.
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Nothing huge, it was just a really great relief to go in for our dating u/s last week and see that baby was fine, with a strong heartbeat.
// I love you too. //
How many weeks? 28
I'm not sure where the time has gone!
Have you purchased any new baby items yet?
We've bought the crib, but we have yet to hear that it's ready to be delivered. I'm hoping soon. I've picked up a set of swaddleMes early on and that's about all. Fortunately we don't need a whole lot because we were team green with DS and we still have all of the gear we used for him.
How are you feeling this week? Feeling pretty good now that I have a support belt. I never needed one with DS, but for some reason I'm carrying her so differently that I needed something to help.
When is your next appointment? Oct 11th - coming up on the 2 week appts! And I get an u/s at the next appt to check her growth because of my high blood pressure.
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) I was considering a VBAC, but asked to schedule my RCS at my last appointment. I think the RCS is the best option for me.
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Other than possibly getting to schedule her arrival in the next few days, and finding out I passed my GTT there's nothing much going on.
How many weeks? 9 weeks (and 2 days)
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Nah. I'm still super paranoid about this pregnancy (thank you bleeding scare), so until I get an u/s that shows the hematoma is gone and that my little one is alive and kickin', I'm not buying anything. Plus I don't know what i could possibly want to buy anyways. lol.
How are you feeling this week? So. Tired.
When is your next appointment? November 3rd. Seems like so far away BUT I have my NY scan coming on the 13th and I cannot wait!
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Vaginal. Not sure about the epi - mine didn't help much last time. If I do get one, I just hope it works!
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Aside from step-MIL being pregnant? lol.
How many weeks? 29w2d (CRAZY!)
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Hmm...some cloth diapers, a woven wrap (sort of for both babies though), a new camera for our video monitor, paint for their room, a couple outfits I just couldn't resist. Ooh, and then a matching lil bro onesie (matches C's big bro), and matching xmas onesies, hehe..I think that's about it though...
How are you feeling this week? It's hard this week. Really, really hard. I am about as uncomfortable and exhausted now as I wasn't with C until week 38.
When is your next appointment? Next Mon, Oct 1
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Planning a home birth, hopefully water birth, with a CNM...and I am so excited.
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Nothing in particular new this week except for lots of aches and pains and even more (which seems impossible) movement. I am trying to remember these kicks and rolls b/c this will be our last and it's pretty amazing stuff
Here's a silly bump pic from the weekend (29w exactly in the pic)...pregnant babywearing in a woven wrap. I wish I didn't have the support belt on over my shirt, lol...but it was helping me out with the 25 lbs on my back. Ooh, and I'm living in that belt now...definitely helpful, and I wish I would've brought it out a lot sooner this time around. Second go around is no joke!
How many weeks? 7w4d
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Nope
How are you feeling this week? I'm still feeling pretty sick - vomiting, tired, etc.
When is next appt? I had my prenatal appt today but it was very uneventful. My next appt with u/s is in two weeks
What kind of birth experience? I think i'm going to go with the RCS but haven't decided
Any big special news this week? Nothing yet, still too early
Awww look at you (three)! So adorable!
How many weeks? 22 weeks
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Nope. I need to go through Max's stuff and see what we need. I will probably get some sleepers, but I won't buy too many things until the baby is born because I have plenty of yellow ducky wear from when DS was born. Ah, the joys of team green....
How are you feeling this week? Tired. Always tired!
When is your next appointment? Tomorrow - we're going over our ultrasound so I am nervous. No reason to be, just nervous.
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Hopefully another natural birth if all goes well. I could do without another breech baby though!
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Nope!
How many weeks? just under 19 (ticker is off)
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? nope!

What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) trying for a VBAC
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) It's a BOY!! Feeling tons of movement the past 3 days...it's great!
How many weeks? 24 weeks tomorrow. This pregnancy is flying by!
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? A couple items of clothing. Not too much yet
How are you feeling this week? Great! I've felt really good for the past few weeks. A lot more energy and not so hungry all the stinking time.
When is your next appointment? 26 weeks. I have the glucose test and will see my doctor then, as well. I failed the one-hour test with my first pregnancy (but passed the three-hour), and that was a PAIN, so I'm hoping to pass it this time around!
What kind of a birth experience are you anticipating? (Natural, home birth, repeat C-section, VBAC, or happy with an epidural) Happy with an epidural.
We will see, though. My first birth was an induction and I was on pitocin the entire time. I haven't ever gone through contractions without it, so maybe I could go without the epi.
Any big special news this week? (Feeling movement, find out the gender, dialated at all!?) Nothing much. We found out at the 20-week U/S that we are having a boy. He's been more active the past two weeks or so.
How many weeks? 10w1d
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Nope! Waiting to find out if it's a boy or girl!

How many weeks? 6ish
Have you purchased any new baby items yet? Not yet. I actually just made a registry to organize what we'll need and get the completion code. I was surprised how much you need with 2u2 since you can't reuse everything yet.

When is your next appointment? 1st appointment is Oct 1st. I should be almost 8 weeks.
