edited March 2014 in June 2014 Moms

This is the weekly June '14 PgAL check-in. This is a place for anyone due June 2014 that has suffered a previous pregnancy loss. PgAL is an exciting but scary place so please feel free to share your thoughts, concerns, milestones and vents. Mostly, this check-in is to remind all of us that we are not alone in the journey and to offer support along the way. Check-in is every Saturday.

    OMG, my heartburn is so much worse this time too.  Have you found anything that works yet?    The only thing that seems to help is eating less.  Smaller meals don't fill me up as full, and then don't seem to push it all up as much.  I think anything tomato based seems to make it worse, but I love tomatoes so I am just dealing with that.  How about you, @Kimmyberly?  Anything work or anything particularly set it off?  

    How far along are you? 
    26w1d

    Team/name? 

    Pink/Viviana Mae
    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about?  We finally went and tried out double strollers yesterday!  We felt like it was between the Baby Jogger Double GT, or the Baby Jogger City Select.  In theory we were both leaning towards the City Select, but after pushing them and folding them and trying them in the car, we both preferred the side by side GT.  

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
    Physically I'm doing pretty well.  We've been trying to take walks in the evenings now that I can do more exercise, but I found this week that if we do 2 days in a row, the following day my pelvic pain is just too excruciating.  So we're working on finding a level that works for my body.  I've been having more discharge too.  And some Braxton Hicks.

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? 
    I took the 2 hour GD test yesterday and passed!  So I'm thankful for that.  My next appointment is in 1.5 weeks.  

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?
    I've been having a lot of PGAL worries this week.  I'm not sleeping through the night at all.  More than just getting up to pee a few times, I'm up and I can't fall back asleep.  I went through a good phase where I felt good, and now I'm just terrified of my water breaking, or going into labor.  I don't know why it's all of a sudden.  I just want to make it to 30 weeks - I feel like at that point even if I went into labor Viviana would be more developed.  I don't know why I picked that random point, but I'm just counting down the days.  I wish I could get it out of my head, but I can't.  The extra discharge isn't helping my nerves.  

    Any baby awesomeness this week?
    Viviana keeps bumping away in there, which is reassuring.  She already seems so strong.

    That's a hard question.  I think H and I could use some time away together, so I'd bring him.  As far as a thing, if I wasn't pregnant it would be a bottle of wine :)

    I hope everyone is doing well this week!

    How far along are you? 27 weeks

    Team / Name? Pink

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about?  Went to a used children items sale today (proceeds benefit our church's preschool).  Got a bunch of clothes for DS for the summer, a few maternity pieces for me (half of which ended up not fitting...boo...), and a few clothing items for the new baby girl.  I'm sort of hesitant to buy too much, though, because a few people have offered hand-me-downs and everyone buys infant clothing as gifts.  

    I'm hoping to wear this baby more than I did with DS, and am looking around for good carriers that can be worn on both front and back.  I've been keeping my eyes open for used Ergo's, but so far haven't found anything.

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally?  Physically, better than last week.  I think going to yoga was a good idea!  Emotionally, good too, although I'm getting a little more concerned about PreE happening again as I enter 3rd tri (I developed it at term with DS).  I know logically, my BP is looking fantastic so far and worrying won't help anyway, but every doctors appointment makes me anxious just because of that blood pressure cuff.

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Next appointment is in two weeks.

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  Nope

    Any baby awesomeness this week?  Nothing specific.

    How far along are you?  28 weeks 6 days!

    Team / Name?  Wanted to be green, until a slip up at the Dr. this week, so we are pretty sure that we now know what we are having, I will confirm at the next apt.

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about? Finally ordered a crib!  Just have a few things, we are not having a shower before hand because of the problems they found a the 20 week US.   It made me not want one at the time, now I regret it a bit.  We will have one after the baby arrives.

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally?   Pretty good.  The baby's lung mass has stabilized, thankfully.  Heart is starting to shift back to a normal position... huge sigh of relief.  I still get super stressed about the appointments. It is a reminder that the baby will likely need surgery and that things may be more difficult at first.  Still feel incredibly thankful that things are looking good and the baby is growing like a weed! 

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?   2 appointments this week - perinatologist went good said we don't have to come back for 2 whole weeks!!!!!   Regular OB appoint went good, glucose test is taken won't find out results until Monday.  Really hoping it is all good because I don't know if I can handle any more appointments at this point. 

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  I had a break down in the car after the specialist appointment :(.   Not sure why, the apt went great...I am blaming it on the hormones :). 

    Any baby awesomeness this week?  Major kicks to the ribs.... makes me cringe and smile at the same time.   Baby also seemed to like the 50 grams of glucose from the GD test.

    1st BFP 6/12/13, EDD 2/24/14,  blightum ovum diagnosis 7/17/13
    2nd BFP 9/20/13, EDD 6/1/14 -- hoping for our sticky baby!

    kimmyberly26: Thanks for asking!  It went awesome; all my worrying was for nothing.  I *easily* passed (numbers for the 3-hour test were: 89, 165, 105, 57 and needed to be below 95, 180, 155, 140).  Whew!  I feel silly now for worrying so much when that 1-hour test is so inaccurate.

    ktwils2010:  I feel like my guy was moving less in the 26th week too, or at least not making *forceful* movements.  It may be a growth spurt thing.

    Fuccimama: Wow, awesome news on the cervical length!  So glad to hear that.

    kmolsonmay5:  It sounds like you're dealing with a lot, it's not surprising to have a breakdown here and there.  I'm glad that this week's appointment went so well.


    How far along are you?  27w, 3d

    Team / Name?  blue/ won't decide until he's born

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about?  Yes!!!! We bought the *first* item today!  We ordered a rocking chair!  They said it might take 12 weeks to get here though.  Hopefully that's an overestimate!

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally?  Honestly, awesome.  I was stressed before the 3-hour GD test, but since we got the good news on that, I've been feeling spectacular.  My exercise is making me feel even happier, which is great.  I look huge, but luckily I think all the exercise and yoga has helped me avoid a lot of the aches and pains so far . . . .

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?  Oh, just passing the 3-hour GD test I guess.  I feel really lucky.

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  Other than my over-reaction to failing the 1-hour test, I haven't had much craziness.

    Any baby awesomeness this week?  I'm just so excited we're starting to buy things!  My husband still doesn't want to get clothes, but we're much closer on a stroller and carseat.  Baby is moving a lot more this week, and some of the movements are less comfortable than others which is interesting.  He's getting bigger!

    Hi ladies!!

    28.1 wks

    Team- green!

    Haven't bought anything recently, seeing what the registry will bring next month.

    Feeling ok... Had some Braxton this week and that was not fun!!

    Have my glucose testing this Friday.

    It's nice to be in the 3rd trimester- no PGAL craziness this week :)

    I also had some major kicks to the ribs! I actually didn't mind because it was nice to feel how strong the babe is!


    qotw- my DH and kan jam- haha we are obsessed with this game! We have even created a 1on1 version :)

    Team / Name? Pink/ Sawyer (and thanks @kimmyberly26!!!) 

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about?  We haven't gotten anything recently, but I finally did my registry even though I don't think I'm having a shower. 

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, getting more and more uncomfortable at night, even with my snoogle.  Emotionally, I've been a wreck and would love your ladies thoughts over the next few weeks.  Our offer was accepted on the house, but it's still up in the air on whether the loan will go through (loooong story).  Plus we're supposed to be out of our rental by the end of March, and the new owners haven't contacted us since they bought the house even though we've tried to get a hold of them.  I have been besides myself with anxiety and worry about our living situation because even if the loan goes through, we won't be able to move until May.  I also don't have a support system where we live and it's been hard with everything going on.  

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Thursday we get to see Sawyer again! Need to get some more pictures of her heart and then right after I have my 1 hour glucose test.  

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  I still bugs me that I don't feel her as often as I think I should at this point.  I'm going to ask on Thursday whether I have an anterior placenta.  I have to keep telling myself that if I hadn't have had a miscarriage, would I worry about this stuff... and I don't think so.  I guess that kind've helps me.  

    Any baby awesomeness this week?  When I do feel her move, they are bigger/stronger movements!

I need a vacation.  I would take DH because our relationship has been strained with everything going on.  I would also love a bar w/ a bartender.  Unlimited strawberry margarita's sound AMAZING!!!  


    Thinking of all you lovely ladies and am so thankful for your support!!!

    26w2d~~~~Team Pink, Camryn~~~~~I was very excited to find an adorable green bay packers outfit on clearance! (DH not even a little excited, he hates the packers) ~~~~~ physically and emotionally feeling very good baby wise. We will have the nursery mostly ready before DHs surgery so I feel at ease in that regard. Crib going up Wednesday with surgery on Thursday, knowing that is all ready to go will allow me to focus on him. The PGAL crazy in me tells me to be prepared for baby just in case I end up on bed rest or she arrives before her daddy is feeling better ~~~~~ next Appointment April 2nd~~~~~~baby awesomeness abound! I'm totally obsessed with watching my belly jump around! :) ~~~~~~QOTW I think it would definitely be DH and some music. (Assuming the drinks that are there are alcohol). Nothing better than chilling responsibly free with a delicious cocktail and my favorite person to do nothing with.

    @kimmyberly26‌ - thank you. Yeah, we heard legoland was for younger kids, so that works great for us. Plus DH gets a discount on tickets.

    How far along are you? 26w 6d

    Team / Name? Blue/Gavin

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about? Bedding and stroller came in this past week. Yeah!! Bought paint today for LO room. So excited for DH to paint. We did our first DS room today. We will do Gavin's tomorrow.

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Really hormonal. My mom, SIL and BFF decide to throw me a sprinkle which I was thrilled about. However, I am not allowed to help with it. So, I got a text from my mom that she booked a location. Now when she did my shower 5 years ago, it was at a very nice hotel. Just a beautiful shower. So, I had no concerns about her choice for this one. Well, found out that it is at an American legion hall, that is cold, white on white, old, big, smells of smoke with no natural light. I cried when I found out. I know my mom is disappointed that I am having another boy, but this seems a little far. I was hoping for something small, simple and beautiful. Like at a garden, or a tea house or a room at a country club. It makes me not even want one, because I don't want my friends and family coming to a place like that. My cousin had her baby shower there and I hated every minute of it. It just feels like a dive. Again, I know my feelings have more to do with being pregnant and I should just be happy they are throwing me something, but at the same time I can't help but feel sad this is how I am going to remember celebrating our new miracle.

    I'd take my DH and my iPod. We need a little break so to get away in an island just the two if us listening to music and hanging on a beach would be awesome.

    How far?: 25 weeks

    Team/name: Blue, no name yet...

    Physically/Emotionally: I'm done working at one of my part time jobs. (I have 2) It has made me feel better physically because I'm not on my feet all the time but it's taking a toll on me emotionally.  I like that job.  I like feeling useful and getting a paycheck. I like being able to treat myself to a pedicure or buy a bunch of books and not feel guilty because I've earned the money to do those things for myself.  I love my DS and I'm blessed that I get to be home with him, but I'm starting to get the blues.  I miss adult interaction and I miss my independence. On a positive note, I've been drinking a TON of water and my contractions have been a lot better.  I still have them, but I haven't had a episode of having them 5 minutes apart since last week. (*fingers crossed*)

    Upcoming appointments: Not until next week. 

    PgAl crazy: Is it weird that I haven't actually thought about bringing my baby home and having two kids??  My boss was asking me about working next Christmas and I told him it would be fine.  He said: Do you think it'll be harder to get a sitter when you have 2 kids? ...I hadn't even thought about it. I haven't been able to picture it...

    Baby awesomeness: He's moving like crazy and other people can see my stomach move when he does. 

    QOTW: If I had food and drink and was not pregnant I would bring a kindle with all of my favorite books on it (so I didn't have to choose just one) and I would bring a chef/bartender so I could eat well and drink fru-fru drinks on the beach.  DH could be that person IF he leaves me alone until the sun sets so I can read all I want uninterrupted. :)


    @xnbride - those little feet are killing me! SO cute and tiny. Praying for you and your family.  Please keep us updated!

    @kimmyberly26  Thank you. It just stinks being the baby of the family (and the last to have kids) as well as being the first in 13 years to have a girl. My mom was so excited about Abigail.

    How far along are you? 27 weeks 4 days

    Team / Name?  Pink / Abigail Lily

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about?  Still waiting until after the showers in May.

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally?  Depressed but still able to perform at work and home like normal.

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?  I have a HUGE appointment day tomorrow ... Rhogam shot, Growth ultrasound, 1 hr glucose test, and dr visit.

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  Crazy, just not PgAL related (Thank goodness)

    Any baby awesomeness this week? I had to make a trip back home to Louisiana for my mother's funeral and my family was able to see me pregnant and see the baby move. They were crazy excited!

    How far along are you? 25 weeks and 4 days :)

    Team / Name? Pink and Aria is our leading contender

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about? Purchased some baby leggings that just arrived last week, so adorable. Also got a sling. Most excited about getting the crib set up with all her new bedding on it.  

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Feeling pretty good so far this week. My neck and back are feeling much better. Thanks @kimmyberly26

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? This week I have a apt with my ob on weds and my GD test on Thursday, fingers crossed.

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add?  I am feeling better and better as the weeks progress and less worried.

    Any baby awesomeness this week? Lots of kicks and punches and I think some minor Braxton hicks that remind me of my last pregnancy with DS

    I would want my hubby for sure! he is my bestie ;) and also some sunscreen, I really really hate sunburns lol



    On an unrelated note.... My condolences @britleann26 on the loss of your mom. I lost my mom almost four years ago when DS was just a baby. Feel free to pm me if you need any support or to vent or whatever. Thinking of you.

    How far along are you? 29w 1d

    Team / Name? Pink (Kelsey)

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about? I can't wait to try my Wrapsody Duo.  I'm not much of a baby wearer but with a 3-yr old, hot NC summer, and pools I think it will get its use.

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Emotionally well.  Physically fine until I overdo it and can't move.  I don't remember this being an issue with DD #1. 

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I have an elective u/s tomorrow at a local college for the seniors finals.  Next appt with the doc is the beginning of April.  I guess the next test to pass is our Group B Strep.  FX!

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add? I'm freaking out more about not making it to the hospital in time with the logistics of DHs job, DD#1, and where I live.  Other than that, I'm doing pretty good.

    Any baby awesomeness this week? She's hanging out real low lately so I've been getting lots of baby hiccups on my bladder. :)

    DH and 1 case of wine.  We make our own wine so I have about 50 bottles staring me in the face until late May/June. 

    @MollySm - I ate some ketchup the other night and the heartburn was horrible.  I even get it after eating a salad and even after not eating for hours but I think that is because of my empty stomach.  

    @kmolsonmay5 - (((HUGS))) you must be going through an emotional rollercoaster.

    @xnbride - Firstly ((HUGS))!  I posted on your birth story as well but I'm so sorry to hear about you loss but glad to hear that Evangeline is doing well.  Feel free to post your updates here.  We are all here to support you.  Thoughts of prayers to you and your family during this difficult but happy time.

    @BabyBean82 - I hope you and Liam are doing well.  Feel free to post your updates here also if you would like.

    How far along are you? 26 weeks 3 days

    Team / Name? blue and we finally picked and announced our name. We knew what it would be for the last two or three months but we wanted to keep it to ourselves for a little bit. He will be Zachariah Louis.

    Got the courage to buy anything yet / What gear are you excited about? We picked a crib and my mom is going to be buying it for us in the next few weeks. We also got a carseat and stroller gifted to us that we finally picked up. Plus we went clothing shopping this weekend. It's really exciting to see little clothes in my closet and the carseat in the living room. We also ordered our bedding.

    How are you feeling physically/emotionally? This past week was really good. No real symptoms and he has been moving around a ton. 

    Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Nothing exciting.

    Any PgAL crazy you want to add? I felt a reprieve from all my anxiety the past few days. In the start of the week I had the "oh crap this is real and happening soon" moment. I still haven't wrapped my head around this baby being mine.

    Any baby awesomeness this week? He feels higher up than he has been previously and really likes kicking my hips and my ribs.

    honestly feel totally free to contact me. IMO you are assuming correctly and not only closer to the birth but afterwards as you struggle with the reality of becoming a new mom with a newborn and all the stress and such that comes along with that. It's hard to be a mom without your mom, especially with young kids. I still struggle with it all the time and my son is 4 with DD on the way. You just cannot help but want to pick up that phone and ask your own mom for advice. Best of luck to you and I am here if you need a friend, sometimes burdening friends and loved ones IRL with your grief can be tough to do. Grief counselling when my son was a baby saved my life.... I highly recommend looking into programs offered in your area as well. xo
