Re: ~~Late bloomers- May 25th- Early June~~Weekly Check in.
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)?
I am feeling tired again, so much heart burn. 28 week app is coming up in two weeks.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
That this baby stays awhile longer, she gave me a good scare a few weeks ago....
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week My husband is finally coming home on the weekend, after being gone since after xmas.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week Everything frustrates me these days, thanks to hormones! LOL 5.
(Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? Having more energy, which is dying off I am napping again like in 1st tri.
The best part was feeling baby move and learning that she is a girl. The 3D ultrasound was another fun highlight we had.
How are things going this week?
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? Been feeling good with the exception of my never ending heartburn. I have appointment Thursday...had to reschedule from last week. But I'm suppose to have my glucose testing while I'm there, so I'm praying I pass that.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
That I pass the glucose test.
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week- Dh and I had a wonderful weekend, and this morning he turned over and wrapped his arm over my stomach and fell asleep and Madison kicked his arm really hard and I started laughing. He took it off for a second and then laid it back down and she was kicking exactly where his hand was. He loved it, it was really sweet.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week- My heartburn hasn't let up no matter what I take.
5. Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? Worst- Heartburn! Best-Overall feeling great, finding out its a baby girl and enjoying the kicks and movements. Also being closer to may (:
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? Feeling okay except for this cold that is making it impossible to sleep because I cough all night. On a positive note, I passed my glucose tolerance test and have no anemia!
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) None
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week: DH and I had a lovely Valentine dinner date
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week: The friends who are throwing my baby shower are now realizing the costs and now asking if my family can help with cost. I feel guilty about my friends spending money and definitely don't need anything extravagant. However, why offer to host a shower if you can't afford to do so?
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? Best - making it to 24 weeks. Worst - the headaches I had early on in second trimester
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)?
Lots of heartburn, sciatic pain, and peeing! On the bright side, i have a 3d-4d u/s coming up and i CAN NOT WAIT! i miss my little mans face!
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
Pray for me to stop procrastinating on getting my GTT! I have a fear of needles so I've been putting it off. I MUST do it this week!
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week.
Can't think of anything off of the top of my head! I have major pregnancy brain. Oh, i started my scrapbook!
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week.
Writers block.
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you?
2nd trimester was great! The best part was finally feeling my precious boy kicking and rolling around! The energy burst was great, but short lived.
How are things going this week?
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? Feeling pretty good. No appointments til March.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) Nope
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week DH felt a really strong kick and he was so surprised by the strength! It was funny
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week I totally barfed for the first time in 7 years.
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? Best = feeling movement worst = starting to get uncomfy
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)?
- I'm feeling pretty good. I'm just upset that I have to do the 3 hour GTT tomorrow. It's the four blood draws that I'm really dreading. (I had a traumatic blood draw experience when I was 4 y/o, and don't think I've ever gotten over it.)
- Next OB appointment isn't until March.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week
- I have an AP, and just starting to feel baby a bit. I think my H felt something last night. He was so happy, and then I got so happy seeing how happy he was.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week
- Just that I failed my 1 hour GT.
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you?
- Now that I'm heading into 3rd Tri, I might begin taking another DHA supplement. The one I have with my prenatal isn't the full recommended amount. I'll have to speak with OB about it; I want to help his little brain as much as I can
Anxiously awaiting baby #1! Baby BOY Due: May 30, 2013!
Thank you cgiles for covering me again!! My step daughter woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me she had crusties on her nose (she has a cold). Then it started snowing and my drive into work was a nightmare! so it's just been one of those mornings for me, thanks again!
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? No new symptoms, just wish I could catch some shut eye!
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) None this week
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week- I had a major pregnancy brain fart over the weekend. I was making eggs and asked DH is he thought the eggs would still be good even though the expiration date was March 9th.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week- DH got stuck at work on valentines day last week and I ended up spending it at home on the couch alone
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? Best part was feeling somewhat normal again, not so fatigued and not so sore boobs! Worst part was getting more uncomfortable and not really being able to tie my shoes anymore lol
No problem! (: Sorry it's been one of those mornings.

4. STILL haven't decided on baby sister's name!
5. Best: feeling her move so much and getting the belly
Worst: Exhaustion and heartburn!!!
@ beckyschell: Hope you have a great reunion with your husband. It must be amazing now that he is home after just a long break.
@cgiles: What a special moment you had with your DH. Best of luck with the GD test:
@JDRSMD17 I agree hitting 24 weeks was a major celebrating point and finally felt I could breath a little easier.
@ Caitlanb58 Best of luck on your GTT
@botanical: I agree with watching DH face and see them react.
@allydncr Sounds like you had a great time with your nephew
@mbody: Hope you pass the 3 hour test
@srhouse: Hope your SD feels better
@hoolah: Thinking of your SIL and her friend. Hoping they get some great news soon.
How are things going this week? I am doing pretty good. Back is still bothering me and I have to switch positions a lot at night but overall feeling pretty good.
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? I had a midwife appointment today and everything looks great. Video taped the HB to share with family.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
My sister is in labor right now and wish her a speedy and safe birth. She is team green so I am super excited to find out if I will have a niece of nephew.
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week: Feeling the baby move all the time now and at least a couple of times a day. Having MH feel the baby as well. Watching MH read about baby products and make lists of things we need to buy is such a heartwarming feeling. (cheesy I know)
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week: My boss and how she treats me vs my co worker differently though we have the exact same job.
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you?

feeling great. A bit sleepy.

Feeling great, prayers for my sister and her husband to get pregnant.
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week
Went to L&D for stomach cramps... Ended up being diarrhea. I felt pretty silly. My parents were visiting and stuck at my house while I went to the hospital with DH and they nervous cleaned.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week
A bit stressed that my sis and mom are having my shower at my house... I have a lot of work to do.
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you?
i have felt so good during 2nd Tri... I am nervous about going back to the constantly exhausted person I was during 1st Tri.
1: I have another appt tomorrow to check on baby girls extra fluid. Im a little anxious about it. Ive been really tired lately.
5: I wasnt thrilled about the return of m/s for a few weeks, lol. Best part is feeling movement.

2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
For my Grandma
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week
DD put on a talent show the other night. She dressed up in a cape (made out of a blanket), cowboy hat, and socks on her hands. Then she stood on her stool and sang us song after song into her toy microphone. It was hilarious.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week
Nothing really
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you?
The best part was feeling movement. The worst part was getting to the end and starting to get uncomfortable.
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)?
Had my regular checkup last week and things looked great. Everything with me and baby is right on track. I go back at 28 weeks now for the GTT.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else)
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week
We got the bedding as a gift and it was delivered this week so our nursery looks more ready now. I also did some crafty projects up there and am loving it.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you?
Best part is just looking looking obviously pregnant now I think, and not just fat. I don't think I have a worst part. I guess that some of my maternity clothes still are too big so I feel like they were a waste of money. Hopefully they start fitting soon.
1. The baby is moving around more often and kicking hard. My next appointment is Friday. I'm doing a follow up ultrasound for my low lying placenta and a glucose test.
2. I have been stressing lately and I worry I'm harming the baby. Sometimes I swear I can feel my blood pressure going up. I'm trying really hard to let things go and just relax.
3. My kid sis saw my belly ripple and she said, "I think the baby just petted you from the inside". I had to giggle.
4. I had a fight with hubby about petty stuff and a another disagreement with my MIL. At this point, I don't want to deal with either.
5. The best part of second tri: the anatomy scan! Actually seeing my child was a thrill. Also, my acne has finally cleared up and I look normal again.
Worst part: The disagreements with my in laws. I don't know if its because of impending baby, hormones, or unknown underlying problems. I hate it.
I know I'm a day late but it feels like today is Tuesday because I was off work on Monday so here we go:
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? I'm feeling pretty good baby-wise but woke up on Saturday with cold-like symptoms. I'm really congested and have a sore-throat. Call my ob and she ok'd Sudafed so I took some last night and was able to sleep better.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) None.
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week Got our taxes done on Friday! I feel like I accomplished something specially because we are getting some money back.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week I got locked out of my apartment last night I had to get a locksmith because I had something on the stove. By the time they got the door open the apartment was full of smoke. It was such a nightmare ugh!
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? The best would be having tons of energy and feeling the baby move but the worst was the heartburn.
1. What updates do you have (how are you feeling, appointments coming up, concerns or symptoms)? I have my first appointment with my OB tomorrow.
2. Thoughts/prayers requests (baby related or not, for you or someone else) Nothing here
3. Something good/funny that happened this past week Nothing here either, I guess I'm pretty boring.
4. Something frustrating that happened this past week...I feel like I should be 36 weeks pregnant. I love being pregnant but I have horrible pains by the end of the day and I can barely eat anything before I am uncomfortably full, except I'm not really full. I wake up at least 4+ times a night to use the washroom and all of this stuff just gets worse. I wouldn't trade any of this, I'm just not used to it.
5. (Used this question from the mid may post) Now that we are finishing up 2nd trimester, what were the best and worst parts of it for you? Finding out my baby is healthy allowed me to relax somewhat and get excited. I also loved finally feeling her move. I felt my sons so much earlier.
EDIT I can't believe I forgot the worst part, heartburn and pain. I accept it and I don't complain in real life but they really suck.
