Started dating my HS Sweetheart 2.26.2001 -- Married him 6.17.2006
Started trying for our family 6.20.2012 -- BFP 4.16.2013 -- EDD 12.23.2013
Symptoms: BH and frequent urination. I officially can't bend over to put my socks on anymore.
Appointments this week: seeing my OB for a growth scan on Wednesday! So excited as I haven't had a real u/s since my 20 week anatomy scan. Weekly P17 injections Wednesdays.
How do you feel? I feel GREAT! My ultimate goal was to keep this baby cooking longer than DS and I am 2 days away from that goal!! Very happy about that, still would be amazing to make it to atleast 37 weeks. Every week now is a week less in a NICU!
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? This pregnancy I am 100% more in tuned with my body. I feel every little kick, hiccups, roll etc. which I didn't with my first. This gives me some hope that if I do go into PTL I will atleast read the signs of my body and get to a hospital in time for my steroid shots or even better the baby not being born in the car! DS was born 1 hour after my water breaking! Nervous now about making to the hospital in time since I have a 2y/o to see to first.
Week/due date:35! Due 2 Dec. Size/Fruit:Coconut or ukulele! Symptoms:lots of heartburn, awful sciatica! Appointments this week:Normal appointment this Wednesday. How do you feel?Ready to meet this baby:) But at the same time, terrified! As I am typing, my 2 year old just kissed my belly and said baby. Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy?How tough these last few weeks have been. I heard that you feel the baby more with your second+ pregnancy (ies) but I didn't realize how uncomfortable I would be.
Week/due date: 35/December 2nd Size: no idea for fruit. Symptoms: very uncomfortable, peeing at least 5 times a night, BH all the time with a couple true contractions thrown in the mix, and quite a bit of pressure in my pelvic area. Appointments: this morning. Starting my cervical checks today too. How do you feel: like crap. Plus I'm super sore from painting her room yesterday all by myself [husband was going to help, but we ended up with a clogged floor drain with about 3 inches of standing water, so he took are of that] GTKY: knowing just how different each pregnancy can really be. I thought I was uncomfortable last time... Ha, that pregnancy was a cake walk compared to this one.

Size/Fruit: I don't know I haven't seen my ticker yet. My niece and nephew keep asking me when I'm going to be a watermelon though, it's pretty cute.
Symptoms: Fatigue and some, uh, stomach issues
Appointments this week: Strep B today and ultrasound next week to see if she's turned. Whaaa??????
How do you feel? Tired and sore, shouldn't complain though
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? So many things. How quick it has gone, how I don't feel nearly as "pregnant" as I thought I would, how much more I love my husband, how I would already do whatever I could to protect this little alien that I love so much in my body...etc.
Appointments this week: Nope this is my last week doc free!
How do you feel? I actually feel pretty good!
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? How horrible the first trimester was and how easy (within reason) the third trimester has been thus far. I was so so sick early on, my boobs and ligaments hurt so badly it was misery. My third trimester has been so much easier than I anticipated. Yes, I have aches and pains but I am sleeping normally and still able to get around very easily. Yesterday I walked the entire national zoo!
Appointments this week: meeting with our doula, touring L&D in childbirth class
How do you feel? Stressed out, mostly about work and trying to keep up with it as I feel more and more pregnant and tired.
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? How DH has become more outwardly affectionate and so eager to take care of me and do things for me. Also how genuinely excited he is to have a baby together. We've always had a great relationship but he's never been like this before.. I love it.
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? How much faster the uncomfortable stage has came. With my other pregnancies I wasn't too uncomfortable until the very end. This time it is awful!!!
Appointments this week: Supposed to have one on Wednesday but I need to reschedule, so hopefully Friday!
How do you feel? Feeling pretty good! Had my baby shower this past weekend and it was great! I love being home in NJ with family and friends. The generosity of my friends and family is amazing! I could not have asked for better people in my life! Really wish I could go back

Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? How much back/sciatic pain I've had ... It's my first pregnancy so most things are surprising for me. It's so different from hearing it to actually experiencing it for yourself. Of course it's all worth it for the little guy!
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy: How the 1st tri m/s just up and disappeared one day in the 2nd tri.

Size/Fruit: Durian (They couldn't pick a fruit that didn't taste like garbage and gas?)
Symptoms: Sore Hips and swollen ankle... just the one.

How do you feel? Tired and ready for my maternity leave!
Getting to know you: What has surprised you most about this pregnancy? How easy this pregnancy has been. Luckily, I never had morning sickness or any of the other problems that I hear most people complain about. Up until about week 28, I barley felt pregnant... then she started beating on my ribs like they were xylophones. Now I fell pregnant every waking moment!
