Re: ~*~ KU PAL'er Check In ~*~

  • I haven't responded to my own check in several weeks in a row, sooooo I figured I'd go ahead and be the first to respond!

    1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you?  I am 12+2.  Due date Sep 14th!  I'll be an RCS, so likely a week earlier, but if my Pre-E pattern follows the same as my last 2, I'll probably end up going around the end of August.

    2.  How have you been feeling this week?  Good!  Tired, as to be expected.. keeping up with 2 littles and cooking a 3rd is no joke, but it's all good.

    3.  Any big appointments or milestones?  I have my NT scan tomorrow.. hubby is flying out to Texas today for work, so I'll be going alone.. I keep having these awful gut wrenching feelings of "what if something is wrong and I'm there all alone"... but, I'm trying not to feed into them...

    4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?  DS2 has had pneumonia since last week.. it sucks.  Sucks sucks sucks seeing him so sick :(

    5.  QOTW: What is your favorite and least favorite season?  Favorite season is the Fall.. I love the cool breeze, the warm colors, etc.  I love the crisp chill in the air, but it's not bitter cold, etc.  Least favorite is a toss up between Winter and Summer.. Maybe Winter has to win.. I don't like extremes.. extreme heat sucks.. especially because I sweat easily.. and extreme cold blowsss especially as I'm looking out my window at the snow that has just fallen..again.. ugh!  At least the summer brings with it the beach, and I love the beach :)

    Happy Monday ladies!

  • 1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you?
    May 6th, 31 weeks tomorrow

    2.  How have you been feeling this week?
    Pretty good.  A big grocery shopping trip kicked my behind last Tues (too much time on my feet), but otherwise I'm doing well.

    3.  Any big appointments or milestones?
    No milestones aside from ticking off another week.  I have two appts this week.  Weds is a class for the lovely GD that I've been dx'd with...and Friday is a regularly scheduled appt.

    4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?
    Highlights-Feeling her move more (anterior placenta)
    Struggles-Getting my ever loving sugars under control.  I guess I'm not doing too bad for having zero instruction thus far...but I'm struggling with it.  And I miss pasta.  

    5.  QOTW: What is your favorite and least favorite season?
    Fave: Fall (especially in New England, where I'm from)
    Least Fave: Winter

    BFP#2 2.5.11 (EDD 10.15.11) DS born 9.28.11

    BFP#4 8.27.13 (EDD 5.6.14) DD born 4.23.14

  • LOL @theresat with the Rainy Season choice.  I actually loved the rainy season when I lived there...but then again I really missed the rain the rest of the year being an East Coaster.  June Gloom is nice, too ;)

    BFP#2 2.5.11 (EDD 10.15.11) DS born 9.28.11

    BFP#4 8.27.13 (EDD 5.6.14) DD born 4.23.14

  • 1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you? 5/17, 29 weeks

    2.  How have you been feeling this week? Tired, tired, tired

    3.  Any big appointments or milestones?  Just happy to be in the thrid tri.

    4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?  Struggles, sciatica big time.  I feel like there is lightening striking my right leg.  Highlights, Finally happy not to have a cold - I feel like everyone in my house was sick for 5 weeks straight.

    5.  QOTW: What is your favorite and least favorite season?  Favorite, summer.  The hotter the better, summer clothes are just so much easier.  Least fave winter, I'd be content never to see snow again...except on TV.

  • Hi!  Sorry I've missed the last couple check ins.

    1. 11w1d

    2.  Feeling pretty good!  My nausea has completely gone away and I'm able to eat pretty much anything.  I'm really tired, but that's nothing new.  I'll be tired for the rest of my life.  LOL.

    3. Next appt is a week from today.  Decided to not have the NT scan.

    4. Highlights: I started a new part time job yesterday.  It's nothing glamorous, but it gets me out of the house.  Struggles: Adjusting to the change of me going back to work.  DS1 is a little confused and DS2 started at a daycare.

    5.  Favorite season is Fall.  I'm in MI and we have gorgeous Falls.  I love when the weather is a little cooler, but not completely freezing and the colors are just beautiful.   My least favorite is Winter, which I pretty much feel like is never going to end.

  • I feel like I may be jumping the gun by checking in now, but here goes...

    1. What is your EDD/how far along are you? 8w1d with twins (I am 6 days behind as of last u/s) EDD is 10/18ish

    2. How have you been feeling this week? Like absolute dog terd. And my DH is out of town so I am flying solo with H.

    3. Any big appointments or milestones? I passed my loss date of 7w5d, but don't know if my little ones still have hbs, so maybe that isn't a milestone? Next u/s is March 12th. If all looks good my RE will release me to my OB!

    4. Highlights or struggles of the week? Highlight - my ms has been a little better this week which helps with my struggle - of working and taking care of H alone. But I am super nauseous this am so maybe that was a short lived highlight :)

    5. QOTW: What is your favorite and least favorite season? Least is winter. I hate, hate, hate the cold. Favorite is spring.

  • Welcome to the check-in @4legsRbest!

    This is really silly, but last night - I got really depressed when MH told me that the lady at DC asked if I was expecting....I'm over 15 weeks, but still haven't told anybody yet...and IDK...I guess I thought I wasn't showing a belly or anything (like I'm soooo skinny *not*). I haven't even told my boss yet. But I guess I'll have to :( I also noticed only after I posted it, but in the mosaic of photos of Callan (posted on the FB group and in her 1st b-day post), the last one in the bottom right hand corner...There's my little blump making its way into the photo *sigh*

    Anybody else still "in the closet"?
    I've not told anyone really yet.. aside from family.. but, I imagine people are probably thinking I'm eating way too many platters of nachos or something!! My body is being weird this time.. instead of gaining in my belly, it's like everything has decided to just expend width wise!  No one tell me that means girllllllllll.. we are very set on letting it be a surprise and.... it's gonna be so hard to not find out!! LOL especially if I really start to think it's one sex or the other!!

    What is wrong with people? Why would they say that to your DH??? Like if you haven't told them you will just admit it when they ask. SMH...

    My mom and 2 sisters know and DH told his parents, but I stay in the closet for way longer than necessary. I never really lost my "baby fat" from H so I think I can hide it a while, but I am a pretty direct and blunt person so most people who know me would never dare come out and ask me if I am pg, they know I would bite their head off an give them an ear full, but with 2, I doubt I can hide this much longer - I am back in my maternity clothes already so I imagine some of the women I work with are already guessing. Let them talk about me, whateves. I bothers me, but
    what can I do about it?

    I really wish people would just mind their own business.

  • @4legsRbest- congrats on twins !!

    I actually toned up quite a bit before getting pregnant, so a lot of my pants were too big on me. I'm wearing them now, but I just look frumpy. My belly is definitely starting to round out though.
