Re: ~*~ KU PAL'er Check In ~*~
2. How have you been feeling this week? Pretty well most of the time. I'm starting to feel huge. I look like I did last time at 40 weeks
3. Any big appointments or milestones? Nah, pretty much on cruise control at this point, which is a great feeling.
4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Struggles- I'm getting really nervous about what life will be like with two LOs. DS will be 21 months and while I try to talk to him about babies all the time, he is just too little to understand. I'm worried about jealousy and really about how guilty I will feel "stealing" time from him. Highlight- I started looking at fabric for the nursery and I have to say the girly stuff is just too cute!
5. QOTW: If you had to choose 3 baby related items that were invaluable to you with your previous LO(s), what would they be? 1. The swing - I know people either love them or hate them but I loved it. 2. My ring sling, nothing like keeping your snugly new LO close to your heart. 3. A big stack of receiving blankets- I used those puppies for everything.

2. How have you been feeling this week? Pretty good actually.
3. Any big appointments or milestones? Nothing at the moment, I have an appt next week at 28 weeks but it's just a routine one. Although I guess getting to third tri is a milestone!
4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Highlights: LO has been very active lately and feeling him move is one of my favorite things. Struggles: Sleeping - issues getting comfortable, getting up to pee 4-5 times in one night, getting too hot. Also, my weight gain is really becoming a struggle. I was doing pretty well until the last few weeks and all of a sudden I have gained a good bit. I am trying to eat better and I have started walking in an effort to curb it but I am getting a little frustrated.
5. QOTW: If you had to choose 3 baby related items that were invaluable to you with your previous LO(s), what would they be? 1. Sound machine, 2. Angelcare monitor, 3. Bouncer seat.

2. How have you been feeling this week? I've been feeling all of my 30 weeks, lol
3. Any big appointments or milestones?30 weeks feels like a milestone...
4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Highlights: I guess she's kicking more. Struggle: Adjusting to the GD diet and all the finger pricking. Also, DH and I are kind of at an impass when it comes to him needing to step up when baby comes/he gets back.

How have you been feeling this week? About the same. Mostly tired, and for whatever reason eating the thing that sounds the tastiest makes me feel so queasy and gross. I think I may subsist on toast and smoothies.
3. Any big appointments or milestones? Had my first appt. today, and while the midwife couldn't find the heart beat, I'm strangely zen about it. She said I'm right on the cusp of being too early to find it, and she swore she heard something swishing behind my heart beat, but couldn't get a fix on it. Everything else looked good and my uterus measured right on track - and has apparently already popped above my pubic bone (STM magic uterus, hooray). I'm going back in two weeks just for a doppler check.
4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Just finances. I think I'm going to have to return to work full-time to keep from fighting with DH about money, and it breaks my heart. I'd be okay (well, MORE okay, but still not really okay) with DD at her age going somewhere full-time, but I am not at all sure how I'm going to deal with leaving a little one, let alone trying to keep BFing. I'm so scared and anxious and sad about it, I think I just hope things will change. At least I can hold out for a job I know I'll really love... I'm making enough money teaching part-time to pay my student loans, but that's it.
5. QOTW: If you had to choose 3 baby related items that were invaluable to you with your previous LO(s), what would they be? Hrmm, this is actually kind of tough! We didn't have a lot of "stuff" for DD and it worked out well for us. Probably her PnP with the bassinet, because she slept in that for the first four months in our room, the Baby K'Tan, because it was such a great cozy wrap for a little one, and the bouncy seat a friend gave us. Man, do I miss just letting her camp out in that while I eat dinner.
