This last week has been a little rough because she's been a lot fussier during the daytime. She won't sleep and cries a lot more.
She still does okay usually at night though.
I had a blocked or clogged milk duct over the weekend and that was awful. I think I'm going to try to see a LC because her latch is awful sometimes and I have to use the shield.
And while it happens on both sides it's much worse on one. I know she's getting something though because there is usually milk in the shield when she's done.
Hey ladies! I'm 18w3d today. I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days so today I finally succumbed to maternity wear and put on a mat top for work. I feel a little silly in it but I'm sure I'll grow into it soon enough.
We go in for another OB appointment next week so I'm excited to hear little bean's HB again, it never gets old. I started feeling movement last week, so exciting! Our 20 week u/s is in a few weeks so I'm excited for that too.
I did some crib shopping this week and have it narrowed down to 2 different styles but have to do some more research on conversion kits before I buy one.
I'm excited for Halloween this year because I have a cute skeleton shirt to wear:
Still lurking daily and rooting for you all. I super enjoyed the awards, @Spookster you did a wonderful job!
Good morning! I am 20wks, 4d and yesterday we found out we are having a girl! Baby girl is healthy and has all her parts but measuring a little small of 20 weeks. So I get to see her again in 4 weeks to check her growth. Now to figure out a name and start working on her nursery!
@stufie - I had that same shirt when I was pregnant with DS1. I wore it to our halloween party at work and that's how I announced I was pregnant to them.
Loving all the baby pics and updates! I'm 7 weeks today and we found out Friday we are having twins! Both babies had nice rapid heartbeats on the US but I'll find out actual numbers at my next US next week. Otherwise, I'm feeling mostly ok. Pretty tired, some occasional nausea, and not much sounds good to eat. I'm counting down the days until I stop PIO- I'm sure I'll sleep much better when my bruises heel and I can actually lie down comfortably. Otherwise, I keep lurking here and hoping for BFPz!
Good morning ladies! 9w4d here and feeling pretty good today. We had our first appointment yesterday and got to have a sonogram and hear the heartbeat. I bawled like a baby! Glad DH can no longer joke about it being two!
Love all the updates!
AFM...not much new here other than I'm HALF BAKED!! Kicks have been more regular the last week or so. Mostly in the morning when I wake up and when I'm going to bed. DH is kinda bumming me out though because he hasn't acted very excited to try and feel the kicks yet. I'm hoping here in the next week or so I can get him to feel one and then maybe he will be more excited. Our A/S is on Monday and I cannot wait!! I still think it's a boy...but guess we will see on Monday (hopefully).
Here I am yesterday at 20w1d
Otherwise, not much new. Always lurking around here and fighting the impulse not to reply to posts haha
Hi Ladies, this is a quick update for me. I'm 35 weeks today. I'm super tired as I spent last night in L&D. I'm having regular contractions 5 minutes apart, dilated 1cm, and 70% effaced. I was monitored last night and while they think I will continue to progress, they let me go home. The contractions aren't horribly painful at this point so I'm just taking it easy. I'm hoping she stays put a little longer.
Here's a comparison pic from 5weeks to today at 35 weeks. I'm going to go back and read the other updates shortly. Hope everyone is doing well!
Good afternoon ladies. Just wanted to check in...loving seeing all these new bfp's and precious babies @kicius56 & @kelle017.
I don't have much of an update this week. We'll be 24 wks Thursday & pregnancy is just flying by...still not much in the way of a bump so no picture today. I'm working on cleaning out the will-be nursery & crib got ordered Sunday. I can't believe 3rd tri is right around the corner.
It's been an awful last couple of days. My 21 yr old stepbrother wrecked Saturday night & has what they call a diffuse axonal injury or DAI. Things are not looking good. Only 10% of patients with his condition live and those 10% are usually in a persistent vegetative state. He's in a trauma center a couple of hours away & I can't go see him. My mom doesn't want me to come for fear of seeing him not being good for my stress level since I have had high BP issues since August. I feel like a terrible sister but I know they're trying to look out for me & the baby. I know I don't need something else to be stressed out about (my condition is enough) but I stress whether I'm home or there.
They took him off the sedatives & most pain meds last night & there hasn't been any change or response. He's on a ventilator and I guess now there's not much else that can be done. They haven't said anything about taking him off the ventilator yet but from what it looks like, once they do, he won't live. It breaks my heart because he had so much to live for...
So, boo me for depressing everyone's happy check-ins.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be thinking of you and your family.
Still have an inside baby. I'm VERY uncomfortable and I'm having a lot of foot swelling now which really sucks. When people say the last month sucks, they aren't kidding.
I'm still chugging along. not dilated or effaced as of last Friday. I really hope that changes this week as I approach 38 weeks. Doctor did not move my due date up after reviewing my last u/s. I have another growth u/s scheduled on the 7th if he's still inside. I'm still measuring way ahead so if he's still in at that point, and he's still huge, they will probably schedule an induction. I'm OK with that. I'm ready for him to be here.
I lurk a lot and I'm always cheering for you ladies! Hope you get your BFP's soon!
Oh and a pic from today - sorry I was having issues keeping my camera focused.
Hi ladies! I'm 12w4d today! I announced to the rest of my family and on Facebook with the pic thats in my blog. Had my first OB appointment last week and all was well. It's totally weird being a normal pregnant person. I'm still pretty tired, but other than that feeling good. Thanks again for the votes for most loved grad. I will be putting the badge in my siggy soon! Rooting for all of you always!

I can't believe I've made it another week. I'm 5w 4days today. I had some spotting sat morning that didn't last very long just enough to scare the shit out of me. I got my betas back yesterday from my appointments last week and they doubled so so far so good!
Not many symptoms my morning sickness has gotten better I'm just tired, sleeping is difficult sometimes and boobs are kinda sore but not as bad as last pregnancy.
I have an ultrasound in two weeks, hopefully I mentally can make it to then. I'm a basket full of nerves right now. That damn PGAL brain really gets to me sometimes.
AFM, I am 14w,2d and am doing ok. I recieved a phone call from my OBs office today about testing positive for antibodies. The nurse couldn't tell me any more but did manage to scare the hell out of me. She had to review my previous OB file and talk to my doctor. I've got a call into her to call me back for more information.
Otherwise, I am feeling good but am eating my stress. I just scarfed down a 1/2 bag of Doritos. I see no point in stopping so I may eat the entire bag.

Yay for my first grad check in. I was kinda afraid to do one before like it wasn't going to be real but here I am. I am 10w4d. Plugging along. I'm on rest from work because I had a subchorionic hemorrhage that grew. Trying to stay in bed as much as possible. I also am taking progesterone supplements. On the bright side I haven't had a lot of nausea luckily. Other than that just waiting to announce somewhere around 13/14 weeks as long as everything is cleared by the doc. Fingers crossed for all TTGPers! Lots of hugs to all of you.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
@kicius56 - FX that she keeps being an easy baby for you! I hope your DS gives you a break soon. @kelle017 - I hope she starts sleeping for you and that breastfeeding improves. @stufie - Sorry you're not feeling well. Love the Halloween shirt! @BrightEyes112 - I lurve that gif! @curlylocks3 - TWINSIES!!!! But... now which one will Raeyn Drop marry? @DaisyCat11 - Glad your DH got to feel the baby move! @LaurenAsh23 - You look great! Yay for half baked! @talon1226 - Sorry about the nausea, but YAY for little bean! @ivedonethisb4 - I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with your family. @lobosabby - Tell that peen I said it's time to come out! @jschwind22 - I loved seeing your announcement! @sueann911 - I approve of your plan to finish the doritos. It's a solid plan. @dlsexton - Hope you feel better soon!
AFM: Raeyn Drop is behaving much better lately, at least during the day. We're still working on the concept that night time is for sleeping. I can't believe she's 6 weeks old!
Curls tried to kidnap her again, and Raeyn Drop responded by spewing several ounces of milk all over her bewbie. Clearly she was trying to prepare Curls for what's to come!
AFM: 16w1d here. No bump pic, there just isn't much bump there yet. I am feeling good, no more nausea. I have been working like crazy this last week, so I am extra tired. I am realizing now that there are things I can't do. Like lifting boxes above my head in the middle of the freezer at work, yep, probably shouldn't be doing that. Overall, I am doing really well. I miss you ladies like crazy and lurk here as much as I lurk my BMB. I am always rooting for you gals.
Finally catching up on this thread.
@sueann911- what is the antibody test? I am not familiar with that up here in the great white north. When do you expect to hear back from your OB?
@raeyn and @curlylocks3 - love the pic of you two!

It's included in the standard initial OB bloodwork. Since I transferred from RE to one incompetent boob office of OB and then finally to another OB office, they still haven't sent over my file and just now at 14 weeks did the bloodwork. I didn't ask a lot of questions because the nurse said she couldn't answer it. She asked if I had received the Rhogam shot at any point. I said no. So I am assuming that I am Rh positive, based on that and Dr Google. I left a message and didn't get a call back. I will call again first thing in the morning for the OB. From what I am reading it's not that serious for first pregnancies but subsequent pregnancies the antibodies try to fight off the pregnancy. If that's what I am positive for then I will need some shots and bloodwork to monitor it as the pregnancy progresses. But, again, that's according to Dr Google and if that is in fact which antibody I am positive for.

Late to the party.....Hey all....LO is 2mo now....I cannot believe it....She is still my itty bitty though, only weighing in at 8lb 13oz...but the ped is not concerned, and neither are we....I am back to work, and DH is her care giver at night while I am working, and he is doing such a great job being Mr. Mom at night. DH and I are discussing trying for a 2nd, and think we will start sometime around our anniversary next June....I am on the Depo shot right now, so I will be back here full time soon...but I always still lurk...
Gratz to all the new BFP's, the ones with inside babies, hang in it gets easier, and those still waiting...it will happen...
