Early May Check in (May 1 - 8 or earlier)

krismk1 · February 2013

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?)

I'm feeling great. Having a little trouble sleeping at night but nothing too severe. Having some sciatic pain and leg weakness, but again nothing toooo crazy

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)

Yes - one of my good friends is also pregnant and measured high on her NT scan. They are going for a rescan in a few weeks to check the measurement again and I will be praying until then! And my MIL still continues to battle cancer. She has been feeling worse lately so they are changing up her meds and hopefully that helps!

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week

I peed myself. Although that happens pretty often now. Damn the sneezing!

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week

Boss was out of town so it was VERY VERY stressful trying to take care of everything by myself...luckily I made it through!

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions)

The Britax travel system. We absolutely adore it and were lucky enough to receive it for Christmas!!!

WEEKLY QUESTIONS:

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?) Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. Not too sore. I've got some reflux/occasional heartburn going on that I'm treating with a Zantac a day, and it's working. Still occasionally nauseated, which sucks. No appointments this week.

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) Please pray for Riley. She's not even a year yet, and has spent more than the last month in the hospital. At one point her parents were told she wasn't going to make it. Thankfully that's not true, but she's on a long road to recovery. Here is a link to her blog if you want to follow Riley's story https://hopperhousehold.blogspot.ca/

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week Both my girls had their birthdays and we had a fun family birthday party for them.

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week Both my kids have a pretty nasty cold. It kept my oldest out of preschool on her birthday. Then later in the week at dance class she fell and collided with another student and knocked a tooth loose. It's still loose. I didn't get her PreK registration for next year in early enough and she may not be in the AM class, so I'll have to find her a new preschool. Oh, and our heat is on the fritz. Not a great week.

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! I ordered a new glider. haven't gotten it yet, but it should come next week. Here's a link.

WEEKLY QUESTIONS:

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?) Extremely tired today, between not sleeping well and having to stay up late studying for school. Today is also a crappy don't f*** with me day or I might bite your head off day, wishing I was in bed and not at work or have to go home and do more homework. I swear today I felt like LO is about to stretch my skin out from the inside. OH and did I mention BH's have started off and on, yeah, today is just one of those days pregnancy is getting to me today.

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) My brother and SIL that are 2 months behind me with their first LO, hope all continues to go well.

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week Finally got started on the flooring in the basement. Hope to have it finished this weekend and painting done so we can move all the old furniture out of LO's nursery and I can finally start on the nursery.

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week DS was sick with the flu, fortunately he had a mild case and didn't spread his germs to either DH or me.

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions) Finally got the nursery bedding ordered and the wall decals. Can't wait to start setting up the nursery.

Here are pics of the bedding set and wall decals. We are doing a monkey theme for LO room.

MrsJ723 · February 2013

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?) I have my Glucose test tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. Last time I was right at the cutoff so my doctor had me the 3 hour just to err on the side of caution. Thankfully I passed it, but I'm really hoping to pass the 1 hour and not have to do the 3 again.

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) I have not had a full time job since September. Thankfully we do have insurance (COBRA) but it is crazy expensive and I'd really like to be back to teaching full time (subbing right now). If you could send good job vibes my way, I'd appreciate it. Also, my sister recently had her Clomid dosage increased-positive thoughts/vibes her way would be appreciated

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week DH painted the nursery and put the crib together this past weekend. I washed and put the bedding on and we arranged the furniture so the room is really coming together.

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week I have never had heartburn before (pregnant or not pregnant), but this pregnancy I seem to get it no matter what I eat. Tums are my new BFF!

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! I will be ordering the decals for DD's room soon and am excited to put them up. Pictured are the decals we plan to get (the bedding pictured is not our bedding)

(1) Do we want to have a group nick name (rather than "Early May"), open for all suggestions? I agree with others... I like Early Bloomers.

WEEKLY QUESTIONS:

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?)

I have been feeling pretty good lately, besides a little tired. I am 28 weeks tomorrow, and em excited to be entering my 7th month. No appointments this week, but I am waiting to hear back in regards to my glucose results.

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)

Just continue thinking of all the May Momma's as we continue on with our pregnancies. No more trips to L&D until it is time.

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week

My first baby shower was last weekend, and it went great. My SIL did such a great job planning it, and I am truly appreciative for the time and effort she put into it.

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week

On the same note about the baby shower... I drove my mother and grandmother to the baby shower in Michigan from North Carolina. That is thirty hours round-trip in three days. I was exhausted, and even when I stopped to get us a hotel room, I got zero sleep. They both snored so loud. I should have just flown.

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions)

I am pretty excited that we bought our crib and dresser. Unfortunately I drove my car back up to get the crib (in the box), and it did not fit. Fail on my part.

A couple of housekeeping things (this week only):

(1) Do we want to have a group nick name (rather than "Early May"), open for all suggestions? May Flowers!

WEEKLY QUESTIONS:

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?) I am on hospital bed rest as of 1/4/13. So far so good. Today is the first day in days I have felt good!

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) That I can keep the babies cooking!

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week Contractions stopped!

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week:Still had contractions.

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions) The bedding!

wcvsb3b5 · February 2013

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?) I have my glucose test tomorrow morning. I'm not looking forward to it and I'm worried (even though there is really no reason to be any more worried than anyone else).

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) None at the moment.

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week My mom has been waiting to feel Charleigh kick but she seems to only kick in the presence of my mom when we are in an inappropriate place for her to be feeling my belly. Last week she finally kicked while I was at my mom's house so she was finally able to feel it.

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week DH still didn't finish painting the last part of the nursery (that he assured me would be done about three weeks ago...men!)

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions) My brother got a carousel horse for her nursery which is pretty cool.

1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?)

I've been feeling pretty good. Some days more uncomfortable as others, but not too bad. I have my 28 week appointment this week (unfortunatly not with my regular OB). And was really bummed to leared I failed my one hour test yesterday (137), so will have to take the three hour next monday.

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)

My BFF has been TTC for three plus years! She is finally pregnant!! It started out scary because a US at 6ish weeks showed a twin who had no HB and the one baby with a VERY low HB. Luckily things have turned around and although the twin didn't make it baby 1 seems to be doing great. She's been transfered to regular OB and is about 11 weeks at this point!!

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week

My MIL has been planning to move here to be with us from the Dominican Republic and she got her visa in hand last week! Her case has been tied up in administrative processing since November so we were worried that she wouldn't make it by May. Now it looks like she can come any time!!

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week

Already noted this, but failing my one hour test. I went home and got in bed to cry for about an hour. Now I'm feeling better about it. It is what it is.

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions

We have a lot already but some of my favorite things are what we have for the walls:

We got this personalized in our nursery colors from Etsy. Great price and they're adorable!

And probably my favorite is that we got two of these as gifts (Zebra and monkey), waiting to buy two more (lion and giraffe)

I LOVE your Etsy purchase! I got that quote in a decal for the nursery but I really love it with the giraffes for your theme!

William Connor is due May 5th

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?)
Lots of pain this week... probably overdid it walking around the past few days. Still waiting on my glucose test results... appointment next Tuesday.
(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
I have a friend with two young children in his 20s who is very very sick with Stage 4 esophogeal cancer (from life-long reflux). T&P's for his family would be greatly appreciated.
(3) Something good/funny that happened last week
My amazing husband took me to St. Michael's (Maryland) for a weekend babymoon. Prenatal massages and great meals... he even missed the superbowl to spend time with me. I felt totally relaxed and pampered!
(4) Something frustrating that happened last week
See my post on my SIL's excluding my mom from my niece's baptism
(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions)
When DH and I got married, we had a kitchen table made by the Amish... we recently ordered a highchair to match Soooo excited and I know it'll be beautiful.

Ooohh I would love to see pics of the highchair when you get it!

sarajim06 · February 2013

Early bloomers is cute! I like it

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?)

Took my 3 hour glucose test on Saturday after bombing my 1 hour. Got the news this morning that I passed! Thank goodness! I go for my 28 week appointment in a week, then start on every 2 weeks. Holy crap!

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)

Nope!

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week

Having to take my 3 hour test after having no issues with DS #1. Oh and emptying out the "nursery" is taking way longer than I had hoped. I'm ready to start decorating already!!

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions)

Bought an amazing mobile for the nursery and I'm seriously obsessed with it. We're doing gray chevron with turquoise and some lime green thrown in and I just happened to stumble upon the mobile. I can't wait to get everything set up!!

bananers:
I like early bloomers too!

WEEKLY QUESTIONS:

(1) What updates do you have? (how are you feeling, any appointments coming up this week, any concerns or symptoms?)
Feeling great, except for some persistent sciatic pain that will just NOT. GO. AWAY. I'm getting a prenatal massage this weekend and hope it helps. Next appointment is February 15, where I will have my GTT.

(2) Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
Not that I can think of at the moment...

(3) Something good/funny that happened last week
We are making great progress on the nursery! All we need now is a crib, a rug and a baby!

(4) Something frustrating that happened last week
DH is still being stubborn on names, and I feel like we are getting nowhere. I know we still have time, but he refuses to even narrow down any name choices and claims nothing sounds like "the one."

(5) What baby purchase (or gift) have you gotten for baby that you're most excited about. Link or PIP if you can! (changing question each week--so let me know if you have suggestions)
Technically we haven't gotten it yet, but my mom bought us our crib and we'll have it on Sunday! It's the Graco Sarah. Really looking forward to getting that set up, because then the room will really feel like a nursery!

We have that crib in a dark stain and I love it and DS loves it

I LOVE this!! I was going to do chevron until we found a different pattern for curtains that I fell in love with, and these were going to be our colors if LO had been a boy. Great find!!

Thanks! It makes it very real to have something in the nursery with her name on it! I'll just sit in there sometimes and look at everything, I'm kind of obsessed
