I'm 29 weeks, and will be delivering at 39 weeks, so we only have 9 weeks, 5 days max until LO is here! Single digits on weeks now... Wow! I have an appt on Thursday just to check blood pressure and get a Rhogam shot, urinalysis, and thyroid test. DH signed up for Boot Camp for Dads class (this is his first baby). I have been having a ton of Braxton Hicks ever since Wednesday, which is freaking me out. Two hours of them in the middle of the night last night, strong enough to keep me awake, but then they slowed down. I am monitoring them and will contact the OB if they continue to be a concern.

QOTW: I bought the standard card and chocolates (boring, I know) for DH and DS. But I also splurged and bought some new lingerie to surprise DH with. I'm sure I look like a whale in it, but I have a feeling he will be happy nonetheless! Anyone else attempting to be sexy this Valentine's? I hope I'm not the only crazy one!

AlmostWright · February 2014

@tryingyetagain I hope the Braxton Hicks slow down for you, and congrats on making single digit weeks to go!

I am 17 weeks. It has been 2 weeks since my last appt and I have 2 more to go until the next one, so I am having a hard time not worrying but am trying to make it the whole time. It has been nice not to be nauseous finally, and I am really hoping to feel movement soon. Sometimes I think maybe I felt him, but I am not sure yet. Also been having some cramping/stretching feelings so maybe soon I will show enough that people will believe I am pregnant!

DH and I never really celebrated Valentine's Day much, but we have cards for each other and DS, and a special chocolate, book and stickers for DS. I did put some heart window clings up, but other than that we are pretty boring!

I am 21 weeks with a baby BOY! We actually found out with the MaterniT21 test before Christmas, but now i've seen the goods with my own eyes. We had a repeat level 2 ultrasound last week since they didn't get all the pics they needed at our anatomy scan, and I'm always up for seeing my little guy moving around. This past week he's really been moving a lot, and I forgot how awesome it is to see and feel.

I ordered DD a baby boy Cabbage Patch doll that I may give to her for Valentine's Day, or I may wait until closer to my due date. DH is giving me a combined anniversary/V-day gift, and I have a feeling it's a very expensive purse that I've always wanted. We are trying to find a time to go out to a nice dinner, but we've just been so busy.

MJC1116 · February 2014

Hi Girls!
I'm 28 weeks 5 days. I can't believe I'm in my 3rd trimester. No updates. We have our next appointment on the 19th. DH and I are going on a hospital tour tomorrow. Since I have a new OB, she only delivers at this one hospital in the area, not the major hospital. At first I was bummed because I had DD at the other one and was looking forward to going back, but it's further away and may take an hour to get there in traffic. So hopefully we like what we see tomorrow. I love my OB so I guess that's most important.

Surprisingly, I've gotten a lot of my energy back! I was dragging through my first and second trimester, but I seem to have a burst of energy now. I'll take it while I can. I'm a little uncomfortable standing as my belly feels super heavy.

QOTW: It's Valentine's Day? Kidding.

I don't think we're going to really do anything on that day, but my in-laws are taking DD for the night on Sunday so we'll go out then.

KristyLynn26 · February 2014

Hi Ladies!
I'm 16 weeks 2 days and feeling good. I started my progesterone injections and iron supplements last week. I also had my 3 hour glucose test on Monday because I failed my 1 hour glucose test last week. Just heard from my OB and I PASSED the 3 hour. I'm in totally shock because I had GD with DD. I really thought it was inevitable this time around too. So for all of you 2IF ladies that had problems the first time around keep hope!

QOTW: We don't really have any "plans" for Valentines Day though DH did mention going out to dinner just the two of us Friday night and we have SILs big 40th birthday party Saturday night. We got DD some of her favorite tea cookies from a local bakery. They are red, pink and white and she loves them!

kndeckar · February 2014

I'm 14 w 5 d. No medical updates. I'm feeling pretty good. The Colace has been helping and nausea is gone. I've been feeling a lot of cramping and stretching and I definitely look pregnant now! I look like what I did at 20 + weeks with DD.
QOTW: I got DH a card and some handwritten coupons for a back massage and "sexy time". Lol. And he sent me chocolate covered strawberries. We had Mexican for lunch

It was a great day!

CMDR513 · February 2014

I hit 27 weeks today. I failed the 1 hr so I go to the 3 hr this morning. My next appt is on Friday. I signed up Davey for the sibling prep class. I am excited for it! It will be my first time at the hospital where we are having Baby Girl. I am feeling good, just battling a head cold. QOTW- I got DH a card. He got me a bracelet for Valentines/my Birthday. He worked 12 hr shifts these past few days because of the snow so we haven't celebrated with dinner yet. I think we will go to his parents for dinner on Sunday.

cerad5 · February 2014

Re intro, I just had a loss in November. I am 5w4d today and everything is looking okay. My EDD by LMP is October 16th. I have my first appt this week and will be scheduling an ultrasound at that appt. I am super nervous but my doctor is reassured by my betas. I am late to the game Valentines Day is over. We kept it low key, DH works nights.

tryingyetagain · February 2014

Congrats cerad5!!! It's so hard not to be nervous after having a recent loss, but the betas sound good, so hopefully everything is going well this time. FX you have a very boring and uneventful 9 months!

Thank you

It is so much harder this time around, but in a weird way I have some peace about it because I know there isn't anything more I can do but take my progesterone and hold on for the ride
