Re: ~*PGAL Check-In*~
How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally). Feeling well on both fronts. I'm starting to feel baby pretty consistently, so I'm ready to give up on the worry and negative thoughts.
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week? nothing this week.
Rants/Raves anyone? Rave - I've slept so well the past 3 nights. I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
Sorry I'm skipping the GTKY today, but Happy Hump Day, and I hope everyone is having a great week! Hey - mentioning "hump" is pretty appropriate for this week, as we should all be hitting the mid-way point by the end of the week, right? Yay for all of us!

How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally) Physically, good. Emotionally, drained. Yesterday was a difficult day and I am still feeling the effects of so much crying.
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week? I had my follow-up u/s to original a/s on Dec 24th. While everything else checked out as perfectly healthy, we found out our little one's right foot will be clubfoot at birth. Envisioning the next 5 years of care as set out by the Stollery Children's Hospital corrective program where I live, is weighing heavy on my mind right now. I will be asking for a requisition for a second opinion on the ultrasound findings at my OB appt next week. I am hoping my OB will be supportive in my request for another opinion. I cant imagine what me stressing about this will do to the baby for the remainder of my pregnancy.
Rants/Raves anyone?
Rants all around at this moment. Biggest on beyond the clubfoot ordeal is that DH continues to fail to recognize what I really need in terms of emotional support. I am not the rational woman I normally am and I need him to stop trying to put everything into rational terms. I just want him to hold me and listen to me blubber like a crazy woman until I can calm myself down.

How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally) I'm feeling pretty good, much better than this weekend after my brief stay in L&D. (back story, I was peeing blood and having a lot of cramping. No UTI, but possible kidney stones. We didn't do a renal scan to confirm since it really wouldn't change the course of my treatment and I was sent home with antibiotics after two bags of fluids)
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week? I had an ultrasound yesterday and got to see my bouncing baby boy wiggling all over the place. He's looking exactly like his big brother, so cute!
Rants/Raves anyone? The amount of water that I need to be drinking is really hard to do. I can barely get anything done at work because every time I get going on something I have to stop to pee. At home, I live in an older house and we don't have a bathroom on the first floor. So when I'm hanging out watching TV or playing with DS I'm constatly going up and down the steps to pee. DH and I are at each other's throats and my placenta is still cock blocking, so we can't even have nice make-up sex.
BFP#1 - 11/27/09 EDD 8/5/10, DS1 arrived 7/24/10 via emergency c-section.
BFP#2 - 6/18/12 EDD 2/23/13, sweet baby girl born sleeping on 10/4/12 at 19 weeks, 3 days.
BFP #3 - 1/18/13 EDD 10/1/13, natural mc on 2/2/13 at 5 weeks, 4 days.
BFP #4 - 8/29/13 EDD 5/12/14, our sweet rainbow, DS2 born 4/29/14 via c-section

How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally)
Physically-extremely achey! My hips are killing me.
Emotionally-total wreck these days. Having a lot of trouble with the hubby these days and feeling pretty alone.
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week?
Finally had my anat scan on mon. Confirmed we are having a lil girl. Couldn't get a good pic of her face cause she kept it hidden behind my belly button. The tech tried and tried to get her to move but she wasn't having it. Tech said I'll have one more u/s so maybe we can get a good pic then. Next appt isn't til the 23rd so have to wait to hear how everything is and the only measurement tech told me is that she weighs about 1.5lbs
Rants/Raves anyone?
I like the cold more than the hot but its been a lil too cold lately. I hate when the wind bites my face and it hurts my knees.
Also tired of being so exhausted. Pregnancy is REALLY starting to suck.
How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally) Good on both fronts!
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week? Just had my A/S today and it went perfectly - I am very happy!
Rants/Raves anyone? So, so happy to know that this baby is healthy - it's put me in a really great mood! But feeling stressed over other things that need to get done, not baby related. Oh well, for today I am enjoying good news!

@soupy84 - Thinking of you! and hoping all goes well with your second opinion.
How many weeks? 23 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally) Physically, I feel like a bottomless pit. I am hungry all the time and nothing fills me! I'm trying my hardest to eat healthy, but all I seem to crave is chocolate. And now, I'm finally starting to get a real, noticeable bump...can't really hide it anymore! Emotionally, I feel ok - the doppler and baby kicks definitely help.
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week? Nothing until my 24 week appt on 1/17.
Rants/Raves anyone? Rave: We started our registry (well, I did) online today, which is kind of exciting! Rant: My job recently changed our hours to 8-5, which means I have to wake up and get here even earlier than before. I'm not at all happy about this, especially now that LO is using my bladder as a trampoline from 1-2am everyday.
How are you feeling? (physically and emotionally) Physically I'm feeling good! Emotionally I'm feeling a little bit better - baby's kicks help. Though I can't help but worry when I haven't felt them in a while!
Any appointment, ultrasound, or milestone updates this week? Nope!
Rants/Raves anyone? Rave: DH and I are finally watching Breaking Bad on netflix - crazy! Rant: My boss sent me a seriously bitchy email today. Ugh.
