Hi Ladies!! As a follow up to my post last week, here's the check in!! There are quite a few of us now!! I can't promise the check in will always be on Mondays, but if I can get a list of who's KU, I'll try and remember to tag everyone when I post the future check ins! Here we go! Also - any suggestions on questions to add, let me know

1. What is your EDD/how far along are you?

2. How have you been feeling this week?

3. Any big appointments or milestones?

4. Highlights or struggles of the week?

Julymomma2u2- thank you for doing this!
1. EDD is Sept 24 going by O date which I'm pretty sure of. So I'm 3wks5d.
2. Breast tenderness, cramping, tired, I will take it all for a healthy baby #2

3. 1st appt is wed Feb 12 at 8 wks. I should have a dating u/s in the next 3 wks since my cycles are irregular and the doc office doesn't go by temps/O date!
4. None right now.
5. We were team green With DD and I loved it! But DH wanted to find out with her so my compromise was that we don't find out with #1 but find out with #2. So if we are lucky enough we will be finding out this time because of DH since I wouldn't mind being team green again lol.

1. What is your EDD/how far along are you?

Due May 6th. Tomorrow will be 24 weeks. V-Day in the house!!!

2. How have you been feeling this week? Been feeling bigger lately. I know it won't hold a candle to the end of the pregnancy, but suddenly the belly is getting bigger. Finally started feeling some outside kicks in the last week or so as well.

3. Any big appointments or milestones? Had a regular OB appt last Friday. Nothing exciting. Next appt (mid feb) I get to do the 1 hr glucose again (second time this pg). For big milestones, def V-day tomorrow.

4. Highlights or struggles of the week? HIghlight is V-day. Struggle is that both myself and DS were sick with a nasty cold this past week. DH is deployed so it was all me on this one. We are recovering, but it was rough at times.

5. QOTW: Do you plan to be team green? If yes or no, why? And, were you team green before? If your choice has changed, any particular reason? Never have been, never will be.

Thank you for running the check-in @Julymomma2u2!

1. What is your EDD/how far along are you? May 28, 20 weeks, 6 days.

2. How have you been feeling this week? Physically I feel fine but emotionally I am a wreck.

3. Any big appointments or milestones? Well I just had my anatomy scan last Wednesday where everything was totally fine, but now a "fetal arrhythmia" has been found and I have an appt with a MFM sometime next week to do a fetal echo.

4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Definitely all about struggling this week unfortunately. I was so, so happy to have a great a/s and finally felt good about everything. My nursery furniture should be arriving this week, and I bought a new diaper bag, but this whole heart issue has really sidelined my happiness at the moment. Just praying this his heart is healthy and this irregular heartbeat isn't anything serious or detrimental to his health.

5. QOTW: Do you plan to be team green? If yes or no, why? And, were you team green before? If your choice has changed, any particular reason? No, I'm not team green - we already found out this one is a boy.

charmedgrl517 · January 2014

Ksyknelvr73- hugs. I hope everything is ok with your little boy.

JulyMomma2U2 · January 2014

ksyknelvr73 Big hugs to you! MFM is excellent, and I'm sure they will help answer any and all questions you may have! They thought they saw that with DS2, but when they had us come back, it was gone already.. MFM said arrhythmias can be detected quite often, and turn out to be nothing.. FX that's exactly what it is for your little boy!! Keep us posted when you schedule the echo so we can check in with you

Thinking of you!!

JulyMomma2U2 · January 2014

1. What is your EDD/how far along are you?
5w3d.. Based on O'date, ~Sep 13th

2. How have you been feeling this week?
Good.. achey back.. sore boobs.. and some on and off m/s starting, but all good signs

3. Any big appointments or milestones?
Nope. I've actually not even called the OB yet.. I figure I'll call them the end of this week or next and aim to go in around ~8 weeks.

4. Highlights or struggles of the week?
I hosted a 60th birthday party at my home for my FIL over the weekend.. that was fun, considering it was the same day my m/s decided to start!! But, surprisingly it all turned out fine!

5. QOTW: Do you plan to be team green? If yes or no, why? And, were you team green before? If your choice has changed, any particular reason?
We found out both times before because I'm too much of a planner and "need" to know things in advance.. however, I would really, really LOVE to be team green.. I think the surprise would be so neat.. and such a great way to incorporate DH by him being the one to announce to me and our family.. but, the planner in me doesn't think I'll be able to hold out.. we'll see

@Julymomma2u2, Thank you for sharing that with me! I am hoping that is what we are dealing with. Something that is just random and not anything serious, and hopefully goes away on its own. I've done a lot of googling yesterday and today and I'm not really seeing a ton of horror stories - most of them sound like what you said. I am trying to be hopeful and positive about it, but still can't help but be nervous.

Also, interestingly enough.. my DS1 was born with an arrhythmia (I totally forgot about it when I responded the first time!), but never was detected on the ultrasound.. my Ped also said it's very normal for newborns to have them, and sure enough, it cleared up on it's own by his 2 month appointment

Hang in there!!

cmumama · January 2014

Thank you for posting!!

1. What is your EDD/how far along are you? 9/22. I'm a whopping 4w1d pregnant.

2. How have you been feeling this week? Good. No symptoms yet. I've been tired, but that's nothing new for me.

3. Any big appointments or milestones? Nope. First appt and u/s scheduled for 2/14.

4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Just trying to get over the shock of this BFP. Though we were trying, I most definitely did not expect to see a BFP. I'm nervous to have a 3rd!

5. QOTW: Do you plan to be team green? If yes or no, why? And, were you team green before? If your choice has changed, any particular reason? We will find out. We found out with DS1 and DS2. I think we're going to have the tech write it down for us and we'll find out together just the two of us.

Fififa21 · January 2014

What is your EDD/how far along are you? May 1st, 25 weeks on Thursday

2. How have you been feeling this week? Really tired, battling a sore throat, but enjoying all of her movements

3. Any big appointments or milestones? Happy to have reached and past V-Day, next appointment is Monday 1/20 and we will be checking to see if I still have placenta previa, if so, probably going to be keeping a close eye on that and scheduling a C-section for early/mid April

4. Highlights or struggles of the week? After being home in SC for a month now with my family for the holidays, happy to be going back home to Mexico tomorrow to be with my DH...we have missed him!

5. QOTW: Do you plan to be team green? If yes or no, why? And, were you team green before? If your choice has changed, any particular reason? I'm always team "find out" This time it turned out to be team pink :-)

crystalknpp · January 2014

Is it ok if I join you ladies? I know its been a little while since I've posted here!

1) My EDD based on LMP is 9/11/14 so I'm just over 6wks pregnant.

2) I've been feeling really tired and the nausea is starting to really kick in.

3) We have our viability u/s on Monday afternoon and I'm praying for a strong hb.

4) Struggles this week is just trying to stay optimistic and not let my PAL brain take over.

5) We're undecided about whether or not we're going to find out. We found out with DS but DH wants to be surprised this time.

JulyMomma2U2 · January 2014

Best of luck Monday, @crystalknpp

adoxyinherear · January 2014

Thinking lots of good thoughts, @ksyknelvr73 and @crystalknpp (also so excited to see you here!)

I cannot even believe I am joining this check-in.

1) What is your EDD/how far along are you? Um, not far. I wasn't temping because DD still wakes up once a night, but I was charting what I could, so I've got an approximate idea of when I Oed. Based on my LMP, EDD is 24 September! So, about 4 weeks pregnant

2) How have you been feeling this week? Mostly I am just trying to process this. It doesn't feel real. I'm excited, but I'm also just trying to think of how I can make the next nine months of DD's life amazing, because she is my best girl and I am a little mixed up about the idea of having another. I didn't know the first time around how much little people can destroy you emotionally... now I do! And I'm scared and it's surreal and wonderful all at the same time.

3. Any big appointments or milestones? I called my midwives today and made an appt. to get betas. I go in on 27 January.

4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Just contending with this surprise BFP, as aforementioned! We were NTNP, and I've been off BCP since the summer, so, I honestly wasn't expecting to get a BFP.

5. QOTW: Do you plan to be team green? If yes or no, why? And, were you team green before? If your choice has changed, any particular reason? We didn't find out with DD and I don't want to find out this time, either. Her birth was all around amazing, but honestly having my husband announce her gender after I'd looked into her eyes was the coolest thing I have ever experienced. It was an epic surprise.
