Re: ~*PGAL Check-In*~
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Emotionally I feel good, getting really excited! Physically I feel ok, but definitely getting more uncomfortable as the weeks go by. I'm trying to take it with grace and appreciation since this baby is already so loved, but some days it's hard to get out of bed. Literally!
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Nothing this week. I was seen last Friday and everything looked good. Baby girl is head down, so now she needs to stay that way! I'll have an appointment next Friday and I've booked all of my appointments up till May 1st. EEK!
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? Apple: (Sorry it's long) when DH and I got married we hired a family friend to shoot a video for us. He's a student, wanted the experience, we gave him $300. After our wedding he disappeared off the grid and we never saw any of our video. Cut to 2 1/2 years later, DH surprised me last night with our video!!! Apparently he made contact a few weeks ago, got the raw footage, and gave it to our photographer to edit. It's not the best quality since the kid was an amateur, but I'm just so thrilled to have SOMETHING! I think I cried more watching the video than I did on that day! Onion: I actually don't have one this week. I'll take it!!
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? McDonald's ALL THE WAY. I am hard core craving a McDouble and a Shamrock Shake right now. Thank goodness there's none close to where I work, otherwise I'd be a house!
Hi @LunaBug924! Aww that's so sweet of DH to surprise you like that! I'm so happy that you finally got to see your wedding video.
How many weeks? 29 weeks!!
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) I'm feeling pretty good, it was an emotional weekend as we dealt with what should've been Ava's 1st birthday. I'm much better this week though. Physically I'm really getting uncomfortable. I'm only 5' so this baby has nowhere to go but out. My belly is looking bigger and bigger and I can't get comfortable at night. The heartburn is also killing me.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I had an ultrasound yesterday and my little man is doing great! He's growing nicely and weighs approximately 3 lbs. They told me I will have one more scan in two weeks to check for growth and cervical length and then that's it....so it made me really feel like it's getting so close!
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? Apples: Seeing my little man on screen yesterday. I watched his belly move up and down and the tech told me he was practicing breathing. I can not WAIT to meet him!!! No onions this week.
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? *can you tell it's lunchtime?* I don't really like any of the major fast food chains so I would say the closest thing to it is Five Guys. LOVE their burgers.
BFP#1 - 11/27/09 EDD 8/5/10, DS1 arrived 7/24/10 via emergency c-section.

How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Emotionally I'm doing better this week, physically pretty rough my hips feel so far apart I was almost in tears last night getting out of bed to pee my husband had to help me get up
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week?
I had my GD meeting yesterday, nothing like finding out every thing I eat regularly is a no and that I need to go shopping again.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week?
Apples my new furniture came today. I have a sleeper couch, loveseat and accent chair. Now I can stay in my own house while I recover from my c-section.

How many weeks? 28
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Physically, ok. Emotionally, I've been a mess, crying at the drop of a hat.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I had an U/S on Tuesday and was pleased to learn that the placenta has risen up and is no longer a concern. I failed my 1 hour screening and had to do the 3 hour GTT this morning.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? Apples: We've received some registry items and our friends gave us a huge box of hand-me-down baby stuff. Onions: I was really bummed that I failed the 1 hour test. The 3 hour test wasn't too bad, but I'm anxious for the results. Another onion is that I'm disappointed in our crib. It has many dings & scratches and I'm having trouble getting a response out of the manufacturer. I hate to make my husband disassemble it, but I'll send it back out of spite if they don't respond soon. I don't want to pay "new" prices for a crib that looks used and I am easily disgusted by poor customer service.
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? *can you tell it's lunchtime?* I don't eat much fast food and the "pink slime" issue that was in the news a few years ago hasn't helped that. If I have to eat on the run, I'll usually stop for a bean burrito at Taco Bell or a BLT or egg sandwich at Sonic.

How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Physically, I am getting tired more often, but I am still feeling good overall. Emotionally, I have been thinking (now that I have spring fever), how last spring I was pregnant, and trying to find more peace with my loss. Sometimes it seems easier to feel at peace now that I have these two babies growing inside me...maybe it helps me to make more sense out of the pain and loss. I am also feeling more powerful as I delve into Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and read more birth stories.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? This week's appointment was moved to next week.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? Apples - I found a maternity/nursing bra that I adore. Onions - My legs are swelling and I hate my new compression stockings.
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? *can you tell it's lunchtime?* Lately, I am little obsessed with Costa Vida. Their salads are amazing, and so is their chicken tortilla soup. May have to go two days in a row
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Pain in the middle/right of my back. Tough to find a comfortable position to sleep in at night. Emotionally feeling great!
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Next appointment is Mar 5 for the gestational diabetes screening. Luckily my birth center lets me have the option between the orange drink, jelly beans, or a specific menu of normal food. I'm going the normal food route.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? We were given a car seat/stroller travel system from some friends for free! Woohoo!
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? *can you tell it's lunchtime?* I would eat Subway probably any time of day.
Welcomed our rainbow baby 5/20/2014! It's a girl!
30 (only 10 more to go…hopefully =])
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally)
Physically-wiped out. Like a frigin whale. My lungs are so crowded and my boobs so heavy I have a lot of trouble breathing especially laying down and wake up several times throughout the night cause I cannot breathe. The pain in my hips and my back is nearly unbearable. My ribs have started hurting this week too.
Emotionally- I'm a wreck from lack of good sleep and stress and such and have reached the get this thing out of me I am so over being pregnant stage.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week?
Appt tomorrow.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week?
Apples- got a couple good things from our shower last sat.
Onions- my shower was last sat and pretty much no one came. There were people I invited that I knew couldn't make it, ok. There were only 3 people who rsvped yes and 3 that told me they could not make it. FIL said he'd try but most likely would have to work and he did which is ok. I even made an event on fb asking people to RSVP so my SIL could get the right amount of food and such. She told me people don't tend to RSVP they just show up. The morning of the shower I find out grandma-in-law is sick and can't make it which means mil can't make it, understandable. Another SIL been talking about making a diaper cake and such so figured she'd be there NOPE! I know I sound like a spoiled brat cause no one came to my shower and I should be thankful for those that did but what I am pissed about is that all these other people could have told me they weren't coming. My SIL wouldn't have wasted time and money on a shower. I could have just told the 3 people in my fam that could make it to just come to my house and hang out especially since I live an hr closer to them than my SIL does! And now the part that sounds really bratty: the crap I did get is just that crap for the most part. Stuff we'll never use and can't return. Some good very useful things (thanks SIL and some of what my mother gave us) but mostly just stupid awful crap! *end spoiled princess rant*
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? *can you tell it's lunchtime?*
Hmmm these days ff sounds DISGUSTING! but I am craving a chikfila sandwhich right now. And of course I always love icecream
Eta: thanks for reminding me lunabug: SHAMROCK SHAKES!!!!!! I got a $15 mcd gift card for my bday so that'll get me like 5. Never enough! Wish they were year round and not so expensive!
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Good, getting tired and feeling big.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I will take my GTT tomorrow.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? Nothing, just busy with work.
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? Jr Bacon Cheeseburger, I love them.
How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) Physically, not so hot. I was up every 2 hours on the dot last night to pee so I'm exhausted today. I also still have the worst soreness in my arm from my TDAP shot Monday morning, plus the usual nausea and reflux that has stuck by my side pretty much the whole pregnancy!
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Due to an upcoming vacation I had my 28 week check-up a week early, this Monday, which included my TDAP vaccine and glucose tolerance test. I hope I passed! I also got a surprise U/S since the doctor said my fundal height was a little on the big side. The U/S showed baby weighing in at 2 lbs 7 oz (68th percentile) which is good, and I was happy to get an additional surprise peak at him/her.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week? Sick and tired of my job -- I've been working 10 hour days which would be annoying for anyone but a woman this pregnant and feeling this crappy?! I'm pretty pissed about it and scheduled a meeting for tomorrow with my manager. On the bright side, I have only 37 more work days before my maternity leave starts -- can you tell I'm counting?
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? I just looooove the broccoli cheddar soup and iced green tea from Panera!
How are you feeling? blah. we had a nasty stomach bug hit our house and after battling a URI last week, I feel like I need a week in bed to get some energy back
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I've been having weekly appointments to monitor my blood sugars since my official GD diagnosis. I go back tomorrow and will hopefully get spaced back out to every 2 weeks and get the order for my next growth u/s for 31-32 weeks
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week?
apples: hoping to finally get my 90 minute massage this Saturday. Took me 2 weeks to get in because of the Valentine's holiday and then had to reschedule last weekend due to illness. So looking forward to being pampered for a little while!
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? french fries? seems like the only thing that I've really wanted this pregnancy....some delicious salty fried potatoes......mmmm

How are you feeling? (Physically and emotionally) I was really achy yesterday, but the weather went from
80 and sunny to 50 and rainy so I think that's why. Emotionally, I feel pretty good.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? No appointments for 3 more weeks. Passed my GTT last week! I hope I can have 1 more ultrasound before he's born. I have seen him since around Christmas.
What else is going on? Apples and onions this week?
Apples- my childhood BFF had her baby last night and I get to see her today! Also, DH talked to his mom about how hurt we were about her not coming to my shower. She was a big baby and cried about it, but he held his ground. Our crib is also set up!
Onions- I'm annoyed that MIL is acting like the victim, but whatever. Work had also been busy and it will stay that way til my leave starts.
GTKY: What is your favorite fast food restaurant/ item? *can you tell it's lunchtime?* I love a McDonald's cheeseburger happy meal with and m&m mcflurry!
