Pregnant after IF

Unofficial July Sparklers check-in

Hi ladies! How's everyone doing? Since I think it's been awhile since we had a check in, and because I am still suffering from the plague and need some entertainment, how is everyone? Any updates? Any plans for New Years or resolutions you have made?

As for me, I'm still sick:-( I was feeling a little better yesterday, but miserable again today. Our little girl is getting stronger! She finally let DH feel one of her good kicks last night and the look on his face was priceless! She is also big enough that she can now kick my ribs (always right under my right boob!). When I try to go to bed at night it feels like she is making snow angels while all hopped up on caffine:-)

No NYE plans for me. I'll be home on the couch with DH. We leave for Jamaica on Saturday and I. will. not. be. sick!!! No resolutions for me. I think 2013 is going to be so full of new things that I won't have time to work on changing anythng but diapers!

Re: Unofficial July Sparklers check-in

  • I'm doing ok, lots of aches and pains. Shoulders hurt at night from laying on side and today my belly just feels so heavy and on my bladder. We have no plans, hopefully our bathroom will be finished this week we put in a new one in basement. And DH will hopefully have lights done in DSs room so we can move him. Once that's done I'm ordering babies furniture and getting closets switched. So much to do and probably stopping work in next 2 to 4 weeks..

  • Hi ladies!!!

    All good over here :) honestly I can't complain. I've had a very easy pregnancy all things considered. I was having some sciatica issues but they are gone since I finally gave in and started using the snoogle when I sleep.

    We found out on Christmas Morning that little one is a girl, which I am absolutely thrilled about. I can't wait to meet her. We looked at two daycares on Friday and started our registries. I'm hoping to finalize a daycare plan by the end of January. Since we have been fortunate enough to get many hand me downs, I didn't have to register for everything from scratch, so I put nursery furniture on there. This means we may be last minute getting the nursery set up - which does overwhelm me a little, but I have faith it will all come together.

    As for NYE - we are going to dinner with two of our closest friends. I was very particular with any plans that we made as I don't feel like being at a party or being surrounded by drunk people!

  • Hi, friends!! I'm chugging along at 25w3d. My b/g twins are moving and squirming constantly and I felt them from the outside for the first time today.

    We painted their nursery and assembled their cribs this past week and I bought my longawaited PPB diaper bag today.

    My NY resolution for this year will be to stop cursing. I don't have a completely filthy mouth but I also don't want my kids to repeat something embarrassing I say when they're older.

  • Hey there, slowly making my way along. Felt little man moving for the first time on the outside last week, but he's clever and always stops moving when DH is around. I give him a few more weeks when it's more regular since I can't always feel it on the outside. Seems to depend on where he's positioned and from what I can tell he prefers being closer to my back. Today I had a pain in my left side right below my ribs and went to apply some pressure; I'm fairly sure I actually felt the bulbous outline of little Joey's head! Got him to move too!

     Don't really have any NYE plans aside from going to my Mum's. DH has to work tomorrow night and I didn't want to be alone. As for resolutions, I can't keep my mind wrapped around anything but getting ready for our LO... so I guess you could count getting everything done quickly a resolution. Otherwise, nothing on that list.

  • Good morning, Ladies!

    I'm closing in on the 28wk mark and couldn't be happier.  The boys are doing great and so am I, despite the fact that I can't get dressed, eat, or even get off the couch without becoming short of breath and completely exhausted.  But despite all of my constant aches and pains, I can't really complain.  I think I'm in a better position than many of the triplet moms to be that I've met via FB.  I'm still working, but don't think I'll last more than 2 wks.  Even with cutting down my hours, it's tough to get here and sit in a chair all day.  My bed is about the only place where I am somewhat comfortable.  I have another growth scan next Monday and am hoping the boys are closing in on the 3lb mark.  They were all at or above 2lbs at my last scan, which was at 25wks.  I've finished up the last little bit of shopping that's needed for the boys and now it's just a waiting game for when they arrive.  Can't believe they'll be here in 8wks or less.

    In the past few years, we've used NYE as a reason to write down goals/hopes/dreams for the next year, which we keep secret and put in an envelope.  Either tonight or tomorrow morning we'll read the ones we wrote last year.  After writing down the same hopes of having a baby for the past 3 years, it's going to be exciting to know that it's finally coming true.

    Thanks, hun!  For as much as I complain (to DH), I am so grateful to be at this point and complication free.  I've seen so many other triplet moms-to-be go into PTL, bedrest, or deliver babies before reaching 28wks, so I really consider myself lucky.

  • Hello, girls!!!  Sorry for the late repy, but I hope y'all had nice holiday breaks!

    I am doing really well and I am so thrilled that I am officially in the 3rd trimester!!!!!  2013 will be a big year for us, so I am keeping fingers crossed for all of us for the uneventful pregnancy for the reminder of our journies.

    We finally bought a family friendly car, Ford Escape!  Ford was having a great end of year sale, so we got it for a great deal.  I am in love with the car and cannot wait to put the car seat :)

    We went over to friends' house to celebrate NYE and had a blast.  I had a sip of a real champagn and it tasted amazing....Miss that!

    See you all at the 3rd tri check-in Big Smile
