How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? I'll be 26 weeks on Sunday. 100 days until my due date, and third tri starts in less than two weeks. Whoa. No clue on the fruit, though.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? GTT on Thursday, then my next OB appointment is the following Tuesday. This month is just flying by for me.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? I'm getting uncomfortable at night and now sleep with a million pillows. Besides that, feeling pretty good.

QOTW: Did you have a nursery ready for your angel? If so, will you use the same nursery or change it? Do you plan on using anything from your angel for your new LO? Baby will be sleeping in my room until we move, so no nursery [we have a 2-bedroom apartment, but DS has the other room, and we're going to keep it that way]. I will buy some new crib bedding and decorations for her corner of the room; we'll have a new nursery game plan since this baby is a girl.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm freaking out about things now. 100 days until my due date, there's so much to do/buy [we're basically starting over with baby stuff], H is now deploying in 2014 and may not be here for the birth, and I'm inching closer to my loss milestone. I'm enjoying being pregnant and don't want to rush it, but I'm still so anxious. That's my middle name nowadays: anxious.

Thanks Mrs. Nice for doing these!

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 22 weeks. Papaya.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Had an appointment today, and he is looking really good. An ultrasound in Nov to check on LO's brain. (He has choroid plexus cysts, and they generally clear up before birth. So monitoring it.)

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Nope. We are cruising through 2nd tri pretty well. I am loving feeling him move though, and DH will sit forever with his hand on my belly as long as he moves. Its fantastic.

QOTW: Did you have a nursery ready for your angel? If so, will you use the same nursery or change it? Do you plan on using anything from your angel for your new LO? Our nursery was set up and ready. We will us the same furniture and things, but we are moving. (House went up for sale today!!!) This one is a boy too, so we get to start fresh with paint and decor.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Been thinking about leaving this place, all our memories with Elsie are here. But at the same time, we have been looking to move for 3 years. We found what we were looking for, and I am really excited for our children to grow up there. I hated thinking she would grow up here. So we will be taking our memories with us.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 8 weeks this weekend.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Hopefully my final ultrasound with the fertility center on Tuesday before moving on to my OB. Praying every single day that all is well and that baby is healthy and growing.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Lots of morning sickness. I either can't eat anything because I feel too sick to or I can't get enough food. I have brownies in the oven right now lol.

It is way too early for us to even think about this.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Just trying to stay as calm as possible so my anxiety doesn't take over. I had a nightmare last night that I was bleeding and it was all over. I woke up in tears and then realized it was just a nightmare. It has been hard to contain those feelings but I am trying.

Can't believe I get to come over here today!

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? i think I am 4 weeks 2 days...prob a poppyseed...going to wait on my ticker for now
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I will be calling the dr. on monday...trying to decide now if I want betas or not...I had convinced myself not before getting KU...now I am freaking out.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? nothing yet.
QOTW: Did you have a nursery ready for your angel? If so, will you use the same nursery or change it? Do you plan on using anything from your angel for your new LO? we did not have a nursery set up yet but I do think I will go with the ideas we had for Bunny's nursery. I had bought her a few things so if this LO is a girl I will prob. reuse them.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? scared out of my mind. I got my BFP this morning after convincing myself all week that it was a no go this cycle. I've had brown spotting off and on all week and thought my period was coming early (it did last month...and started with brown spotting)...today i have had a steady stream of brown spotting and it is really scaring me.

jess123456 · October 2013

Huge congrats Marylaurena!! I totally know what you mean about the betas. I did choose to get them done this time because it gave me some hope but waiting for the results was torture. As for the spotting, I know that it is super scary but brown blood is old blood so maybe it's from implantation etc. I am praying and praying that this is your rainbow.

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
13w 5d - Peach

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Next OB appt is Halloween and the week after that we'll start cervix checks.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
My gag reflex is back...ugh! brushing my teeth can be really annoying. I forgot how much this bothered me last time! No major cravings or aversions, though I almost let DH get out of bed to go get me a vanilla milkshake last night! (He's a saint and was totally willing to go, but I wouldn't let him!)

QOTW: Did you have a nursery ready for your angel? If so, will you use the same nursery or change it? Do you plan on using anything from your angel for your new LO?
We didn't have the nursery ready. I did paint the room this summer and I painted it the color we planned for the triplets and this baby will be in that room (DH just brought up today, maybe we should move SS and the baby around but I said absolutely not! I need a baby to be in this room...) We didn't have any furniture for the triplets, so that all will be new (or new to us)

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I can't believe we're in the second trimester! We're already over halfway to our loss mark (which means we're over halfway to viability)

PerkyErky · October 2013

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
Today I am 20w2d and baby is a banana.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Thursday when I am 20w5d I will be the mos pregnant I have ever been. And Friday I have my first post cerclage cervix check.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions?
I have been turned off sweets for a bit and yesterday I had a few pieces of Halloween candy and felt sick for awhile afterwards. I guess that means no candy for me for bit.

QOTW: Did you have a nursery ready for your angel? If so, will you use the same nursery or change it? Do you plan on using anything from your angel for your new LO?
We did not have a nursery. We were waiting to find out if Alice was a boy or girl and we were also in the process of selling our house and moving. We hadn't even really started buying anything so everything for this little guy will be new (or new to us).

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I am really anxious about passing my pregnancy milestone with Alice. I have had to stay off line more this past week because I get so worried reading about what other women have been told to do by their dr and it's different than what I have been told. I have a lot of trust and faith in my OB and MFM so limiting my online time has helped. Viability is so close I can almost taste it yet it seems forever away. As expected reaching this point in this pregnancy has triggered a lot of anxiety.

angelsnight · October 2013

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 18 weeks 4 days

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? My a/s is tomorrow; I'm very nervous. I cannot wait to see LO and praying everything is ok.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Not really, but sometimes things just don't sound good and I feel like I might gag if I eat it.

QOTW: Did you have a nursery ready for your angel? If so, will you use the same nursery or change it? Do you plan on using anything from your angel for your new LO? We did not have a nursery ready, but we were registered. We're doing the same color scheme we had picked out, but if this one is a girl too we'll choose different decor. We have to re-do our registry anyway because are weren't happy with how BBB handled our registry after our loss.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Just praying for a good a/s, tomorrow cannot come soon enough.
