Re: ****Wednesday Ticker Change****
How are you feeling/Symptoms? Still tired. But now that I have my comfy mattress back, no more leg pain!
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? My next appt isn't until 3 weeks from now. We do have our elective 3D u/s next Wed!
Rants/Raves? We are still getting settled in our new house. Things are coming along, but why do we have so much stuff to go through?! :-p I don't want to do that, I just want to work on the baby's room!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? My mom and brother will probably help me some and SIL might come down from Oklahoma for a few days. DH will only be at home for a few days because he can't really take off much. :-(
How are you feeling/Symptoms? Feeling pregnant. Belly gets in the way sometimes and that's taken some adjustment. Sleep is hit or miss - usually miss. I don't know I'm going to survive on less sleep come May.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Glucose test on Friday. U/S on Friday to check location of placenta. Keep your fingers crossed for both!
Rants/Raves? Rant: Just the lack of sleep. Rave: My sister sent out the baby shower invitations and people have been buying stuff off our registries - this makes is so much more real. Rave: I love feeling the baby move at all times of the day - one of the better things about being pregnant. Also, non-BR, girl scout cookies are FINALLY being delivered today
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? DH will be home for two weeks. He has a pretty flexible scheduleso I imagine he'll be working from home a lot over the next 2-3 months. Both sets of parents and siblings will make trip(s) to visit, but everyone lives at least 8 hours away (driving).
Week/fruit? 30 weeks!!!!
How are you feeling/Symptoms? I feeling better now. Contractions are less know and my little moves like he has no space. I'm huge and can't anymore. I'm now considered high risk.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? My OB appt. is Friday. Follow ultrasound 3/7 to measure baby since my fundal height is 6 weeks ahead.
Rants/Raves? Rant: I passed my GD test by a couple of points so one of the Doctors in my OB's office wants me to redo it. Rave: my boss has allowed me to telework from home so I don't have use my FMLA.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? My DH will take off for a week or so and then my MIL will come from PR for about 2 weeks.
@Jcrewgirl85 thanks for checking on me. I pray that all goes well with your appts. and that you placenta has moved completely.
How are you feeling/Symptoms?
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? I had my glucose test this past week. The nurse practitioner said no news is good news because they only call if I have to return for the 3 hour test. I haven't heard anything since the test last Thursday, so I'm happy to not have the additional worry of GD!
Rants/Raves? My belly has really grown a bit in the last week or so, so bending over to put on my socks and shoes has become more of a chore...I can only imagine how I will feel during the third trimester! lol
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? My husband will take two weeks off work (1 week paternity and 1 week of vacation), plus my mom and MIL both live in town so I imagine they'll be checking to see if there is anything they can help out with!
How are you feeling/Symptoms? Feeling good. Nothing to complain about here!
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? I have my 28 week appt next week, but it's just a normal check-up to my knowledge.
Rants/Raves? Rants: My weight gain. I really vowed to myself to be better this time b/c I gained so much with DS1, but I feel like I am slipping and it gets frustrating at times. I made a commitment that once the time changes and we finally have sunlight past 6pm (since I don't get home from work until then) that I will get out and walk every evening after work. Raves: Happy to hit the third trimester! Feels like a milestone.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? Oh yes, we are very fortunate and will have lots of help. IL's have already committed to taking DS1 overnight every couple weeks to give us a break and have some bonding time with this LO, and my parents live super close and my mom is planning to come over and help when/as needed. In addition, DH is a teacher so he will be off for the summer while I am on maternity leave which is going to be a HUGE help. I was totally by myself last time and I'm so glad he'll be there this time.

How are you feeling/Symptoms? Exhausted. Refulx and indigestion have started to kick into over-drive
Upcoming Appointments/Updates?Just got my RhoGam shot today, then the 3D u/s and 30 wk appt Tuesday after-next
Rants/Raves? Rants: work is starting to stress me out again. I'm constantly second-guessing myself if I can be a good mom and stay committed to my job. Raves: I don't brag on DH too often, but I've gotta say I'm really proud at the initiative he's taken during my pregnancy. He's really stepping up his game, and I think he's going to be a great dad.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? My mom will come up for a week shortly after the baby is born, then my MIL has offered to come up after and stay as long as we need her.
*27 weeks. Baby is the size of a rutabaga.
How are you feeling/Symptoms? *Baby had a growth spirt! So some cramping and hardening when walking around too much.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? *Had my glucose test today and also got my tdap shot. Have an apt with my doctor tomorrow morning for a regular check up.
Rants/Raves?
*Tired of throwing up still! Though is not nearly as bad but still.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)?
*Hubby plans on taking a few weeks off work to help out, I'll be a stay at home mom so we will be getting a routine hopefully. But all of our family lives on the west coast while we are stuck in Florida, so not sure who all plans on coming to visit.
How are you feeling/Symptoms? I'm feeling really good actually. I get super tired during the day, but since I am able to nap I just do and then I get a lot more done around the house! I also have trouble sleeping at night, so that's probably why I'm tired
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? 30 weeks appt on Friday!
Rants/Raves? I am really enjoying pregnancy right now, people keep telling me my bump looks cute, and whether they really mean it, or just feel like they need to say something, I am enjoying it lol
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)?DH will be able to have 2 weeks maternity leave and then the first month is flexible...aka working at home haha Also, my mom will be coming into town to help out. After she leaves my in-laws will come for a quick visit before they leave for Europe. On a sad note,DH has to travel twice in July for a week each which makes me a little nervous to be alone as a FTM so soon (I'm wimpy, I know), but MIL will come hang out for the second week hopefully!! Please tell me I'm going to be totally fine, and it's really not a big deal that he will be gone lol
How are you feeling/Symptoms? Pretty good, a few pains here and there and a stiff back, but not too bad.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Passed my glucose test, yay! I start my every 2 week appointments on 3/17.
Rants/Raves? Hating this never ending winter! Calling for another snowstorm this weekend. SO sick of boots and winter coat is getting snug!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? I think I am pretty lucky. DH has a flexible schedule and works for himself so he will be home with me. My MIL said she is taking off the week that the baby is born so she can help and she lives close so that will be great. My family lives far, bu my dad, stepmom and grandma will probably drive in for a long weekend and my mom will probably come up for a long weekend too. And my best friend said she will fly in to help too. So I should be set for the first month! After that, I'm not sure! I may be begging them to all come back! : )
How are you feeling/Symptoms? Some discomfort- lower back and right hip soreness, fatigue after nights when I don't get enough sleep. Waking up to go to the bathroom a lot.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Had an appointment today. Everything looks good!
Rants/Raves? Rant- all of my bras are getting uncomfortable! Uncomfortable bras make me irritable. Rave: Looking forward to March! Lots going on and hopefully some warmer weather!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? Yes. MIL will be staying with us while I am in the hospital and for several days after. DH will then take some time off, probably until I can drive, which will be two weeks after my C/S.
29 weeks, acorn squash!
How are you feeling/Symptoms?
Been feeling pretty good but after what felt like a break from heartburn it started up again this week. Still get occasional back pain and hips have now started getting kinda numb at night as well as painful
Upcoming Appointments/Updates?
No new appointments until March 11, then they are every 2 weeks.
Rants/Raves?
Rants: Nothing major but I am sick of the cold and ice. I am praying I get through the next 11 weeks without slipping again.
Raves: DH has been working hard stripping paint in the nursery, we are hoping to actually start painting in about 2 weeks! And we should have our crib and changing table by then, can't wait!
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (SO, Mother, MIL)? Both our families are out of state but my Mother is planning on coming out 1 week before and staying 2 weeks after my due date! I can't wait for her to come out since it will be her first time visiting me out here. DH is also planning on taking whatever he can for PTO off so probably at least 2 weeks. After my Mom leaves my Aunt and sister will be visiting for a week, then after that DHs parents are coming out for a week. So we will have plenty of help for the first month. I am hoping I enjoy it and that it won't be overwhelming.

How are you feeling/Symptoms? Good. My back is tired and sore at the end of the day.
Upcoming Appointments/Updates? Just taking my GTT tomorrow.
Rants/Raves? None.
GTKY: Will you have any help around the house once the baby is born (ie, DH, SO, Mother, MIL)? Depends on when he is born. DH was late going back to work last time and left a couple hours after we got home from the hospital for two weeks. I won't have anyone else stay with me, my mom will probably come over because she is used to seeing DD almost every day and will go into withdrawal without her.
