Parenting after a Loss

****KU PALer Check-in****

Hey ladies, this is my first week with doing the check-in.  I will try to post every Thursday.  And I'll start a list of everyone's EDDs so we can keep up on everyone just in case you can't check in every week :)

So sorry again, Junebug, about your loss :(

*What is your EDD/how far along? 

*How have you been feeling/doing?

*Any appointments or milestones?

*What were your highlights and struggles this week?

*QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do?

    *What is your EDD/how far along?  

    July 5th, 8w on Friday 

    *How have you been feeling/doing?

    Emotionally doing well (besides the lovely hormones making me cry at everything).  I'm feeling like poop and not able to poop.  It's a lovely combo. 

    *Any appointments or milestones?

    None this past week.  Still have a few more weeks until another appt. 

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week?

    I got a head cold and it was really difficult dealing with that, feeling nauseous, and taking care of my needy toddler.  She was actually really good though--just got more TV time than usual.

    *QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do? 

    It was just the 3 of us.  We went to Shari's for brunch and then hung out at home and watched football.  I made a small ham dinner for us and I still have a ton of leftovers from it.  We are going to my dad's on Saturday for the big turkey dinner with my family.

  • Well hey there! Just checking in - haven't been around much. But if anyone remembers me - HI!!

    *What is your EDD/how far along? 4/5/13 and 21 weeks

    *How have you been feeling/doing? Feeling pretty great. Not a lot of energy after long work days and when DD goes to bed.

    *Any appointments or milestones? Just found out monday at our a/s that  we are having another DD!

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week? I was pretty anxious for the a/s, but everything looks perfect - right on track.

    *QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do? Spent the day at the IL's. It was hot as hell in their house all day and their dogs were total spazz's.My MIL would not stop ordering my FIL around - poor guy never got to sit down all day. My mom, grandma & stepdad joined us and we did a special announcement to everyone that we were having another girl. It was a very special day.

    *How have you been feeling/doing?  Starting to hit the exhaustion wall

    *Any appointments or milestones?  Weekly cervical length appts have been good, V-day!

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week?  Lots of food and energy for a few days.  I'm struggling with motivation since I feel like a$$ quite often.

    Alright, I might as well make "it" official.

    *What is your EDD/how far along? My EDD is 7/29/13 ::nervous still:: That would make me 4w4d.

    *How have you been feeling/doing? I ate too much yesterday so I feel like crap today. But I feel normal otherwise.

    *Any appointments or milestones? Progesterone on Tues. 11/20 was 17.4 & beta was 24. Beta today 11/23 is 139.

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week? Struggle = Not having beer with my Thanksgiving dinner. Highlight, the obvious, BFP.

    *QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do? Went to my mom's place. She had 26 people there. It was a little overwhelming, but I made it through.

  • *What is your EDD/how far along? 

    Due 12/21/12, I'm 36w.

    *How have you been feeling/doing?

    I'm just now getting to the late pregnancy woes. My pubic bone kills! The nighttime heartburn is ungodly. I will happily endure it all though. Just want to make it maybe 1 or 2 more weeks.

    *Any appointments or milestones?

    I have my last p17 shot tomorrow. I get to stop taking the procardia on Monday. My cerclage comes out on Monday. I'm nervous it will hurt. My bed rest also ends Monday which I'm REALLY looking forward to. And I'm hoping it's ok for DH and I to have sex after it comes out!!

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week?

    Highlight is that this is the END of my bed rest. I can't believe it. 21 weeks is no small thing. Thanksgiving was a little odd; I should have an 8 month old son. This should've been Nathaniel's first Thanksgiving, but he wasn't here. No one except DH said anything to acknowledge it. It kind of stings.

    *QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do?

    We had a nice breakfast and watched the Macy's parade/football. DD was totally into the Macy's parade- it was fun to watch with her. We took a nap and then went OUT to dinner (yes, I cheated a little on my bed rest- first time in a restaurant since June!).

    *What is your EDD/how far along? 

    I've not yet been to the OB, but based on LMP it should be July 19th!  That puts me at 6w1d.. still super early.. but trying to be positive!!

    *How have you been feeling/doing?

    Great!  Extremely excited to be pg again!  Slightly nervous about how the world around us will handle this news since we're pregnant so quickly after DS was born.. but, we're thrilled, and that's all that matters!

    *Any appointments or milestones?

    I have an appointment Tuesday evening and will probably be sent for bloodwork to check betas!  Hopefully by next check in I'll have some beta news :)

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week?

    I feel much different this time -- feeling "hung over" constantly (haven't puked yet, though.. with DS#1 m/s didn't start until 8wk, but I puked every day multiple times..) but my boobs aren't sore.. it's strange how different it can be :)

    *QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do? 

    It was nice.. we went to DH's Aunt's house.. all his family got to meet DS so that was nice.. then I went black Friday shopping with my Mom and sisters!

  • Well hey there! Just checking in - haven't been around much. But if anyone remembers me - HI!!

    *What is your EDD/how far along? 5-9-13 16 weeks

    *How have you been feeling/doing? Feeling pretty good now that my cough is going away.  My only big issue is back pain & I'm not sure if that is pregnancy or work related.

    *Any appointments or milestones? Appt Wed.....some follow up from my ER visit last weekend for whooping cough. Hoping all is still okay.

    *What were your highlights and struggles this week? Highlights-making it through the week...I struggled with having to take meds while pregnant, even though I was assured they were okay.

    *QOTW: How was your Thanksgiving--what did you do? Spent a good portion of the day at DHs grandmas with my crazy MIL.  She had t-giving there since I don't want Landon at her smoke filled home.  There's still a lot of tension (over her smoking and her opinions on things like BF & carseats) & I pretty much had no rest since I had to chase a LO around a non childproofed home.  We had dinner again later with my mom and her husband.  They at least had a pack & play and played with Landon, so I got a little break.
