Re: ***PgAL Check-In***
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?We just on Tuesday passed our main loss milestone when I went into labor with Alice and we are still here thank goodness! We do have an appointment on Monday to meet with an MFM consult to talk about P17 shots and then we have an appointment with our regular OB on Tuesday.QOTW: Has there been any instances this pregnancy that has been similar to last time?Well on Saturday when I turned 18 weeks I had a bunch of stomach pain, which is also how labor started with Alice. I didn't *really* think I was in labor this time, but after a few hours it wasn't going away so we ended up at L&D just to check. All was fine--it really was just stomach pain this time, so it turned out to be very different than last time thankfully.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Nothing in particular. I am feeling a small amount of relief that we have passed our loss milestone--I don't feel such acute anxiety constantly yesterday or today. But I still feel like we have such a long way to go. I think viability is really the next big milestone where we can breath another sigh of relief--5 weeks and 1 day til then. It can't come soon enough!
BFP #2 7/11/12. EDD 3/23/13. Ada Alice born 3/20/13.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
11 weeks 4 days, baby is the size of a lime
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I have a regular OB appointment next Wednesday and an ultrasound/appointment with the perinatologist next Thursday.
QOTW: Have there been any instances this pregnancy that are similar to last time?
My due date is only 2 days before my due date with Braxton, so I am doing a lot of the same things this pregnancy at the same time I was doing them last year.
Open Topic: What is on your mind this week?
Braxton's 6 month anniversary was yesterday. It was a rough day. DH was able to get off work early so that we could go to the cemetery before it got dark. I spent a lot of time thinking about all the things that Braxton would be doing now.
I am also thinking about when to tell more people about this pregnancy. We have already told some close friends and a few family members. DH wants to wait to tell his parents until we visit them at Thanksgiving, but I am thinking of telling more people here after our appointments next week.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?16 weeks tomorrow, so a big pear.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?We have our a/s in 13 days. We were team green with Patricia but I can't wait to find out if this one is a boy or a girl! I know there will be a lot of emotion about either so I actually scheduled an appointment with our counselor for a couple of days later to work through all the feelings.
QOTW: Has there been any instances this pregnancy that has been similar to last time?The entire pregnancy has been EXACTLY the same. No nausea or m/s, little appetite in first tri, a few headaches here and there. I'm about 6 weeks ahead of where I was this time of year with Patricia, but I am still pregnant in the fall and will deliver in the spring. Many similarities, hopefully one major difference.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?I am returning to my college campus for Homecoming tomorrow. I haven't kept in touch with too many people and did a big FB purge when I graduated and moved to Denmark, but I am back now and am obviously pregnant. I imagine people, especially all my old sorority sisters, will ask and also ask "is this your first?" I am preparing responses because I want to talk about Patricia.
