lv2011 · April 2014

Hey, @SuperKim13 ! How are you? Thanks for running the check-in

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 35/ coconut Woohoo!!! 35 days left!!!

Appts/ Updates? I have an appt this afternoon at 4:15- just routine.

How are you feeling? Very achy, but better now than this morning. SPD and fluid retention swelling makes arthritis really rough

What are you craving? Nothing really right now. ice cream sounds good, but that's probably because my throat is on fire

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy? Starburst jelly beans. I cannot get enough of those little suckers.

lv2011 - Hows the acid reflux treating you? I can't believe how far along you are, you're almost there! Still there, but starting to respond again to Tums in the evening so it's been a little easier the last few days. I'm so excited to be 35/35! I feel kind of wishy-washy though, alternating between wanting to be done NOW and wanting her to stay put as long as possible. DD was born at 37w4d, so I have a feeling once that point is crossed, I'll be leaning on the side of "time to get out". We'll see. After how the first 2 trimesters went, I'm just thrilled to still be here!

Thank you for running check-in, @SuperKim13!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 13 weeks, peach

Appts/ Updates? I went in for an unscheduled appointment this afternoon after I discovered brown spotting today. The nurse and I listened for the heartbeat by doppler and found it (after an uncomfortably long amount of searching), but I only feel slightly relieved. My Thursday appointment is still on. FX the spotting stops before then!

How are you feeling? Physically I'm ok, but emotionally I'm pretty shaken up. Spotting is never a fun thing to see.

What are you craving? Chocolate!

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy? I really like chocolate/caramel combos, so my favorite Easter candy would have to be Cadbury Caramel Eggs and Milky Way Eggs. I also love Starburst Jelly Beans!

I actually did make some more announcements this weekend. I told another good friend, my DH told his best friend, and we told some aunts and uncles at Easter. It was scary but I was feeling confident since I was almost clear of 12 weeks. But then of course, as soon as week 13 started I get some spotting! I've come to the realization that this is just never going to be easy or normal for me. Just when I was starting to feel good about everything, something comes to knock me down a notch. It just sucks.

songbirdsinging55 - How was your week? How was the NT scan? Have you felt anymore fluttering?

My week was great!! We heard the heartbeat at the general check up and LO kicked the Doppler. We heard it lol. At the NT scan on Thursday we saw a perfect LO growing right on schedule. We saw LO wave on the screen and move around. We were in awe. So happy. Still feeling things but it could be stretching

voplo · April 2014

Hello Kim

How are you? Where is your check in? I guess you must be very busy! Do you have the glucose test soon?

@noonandj04 I read your post! I really hope it resolves. It happens a lot. I bled on and off the whole first trimester... HUGS!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 25 weeks. My baby is a cauliflower...poor thing

Appts/ Updates? Nothing..I have the glucose the 29th...but still one week to go...

How are you feeling? Good and bad. My son is ok which is great! This baby is making me crazy...he/she doesn't move almost at all... I woke up at 3 am the other day thinking that something bad happened...I had to use the doppler and I couldn't find the HB...until finally after 20 minutes I found it just behind my C-sec scar (really really low)... He/she must have changed positions....but again I barely feel anything... apart from being hard to pee... is like is sitting in my bladder and doesn't let anything go out until is really full... Not very pleasant!

What are you craving? Meat, anything barbecue, sausages... (and I normally don't eat meat...)

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy? Nothing really....I had a lot of cupcakes though...to keep upsetting the nurse at my OB office...

songbirdsinging55 · April 2014

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? Oct 27th 13 weeks! Tangerine

Appts/ Updates? Great NT scan and checkup. We did our announcement this week. I will post it as soon as I figure out how.

How are you feeling? I had the worst morning sickness today. I actually threw up. Tmi sorry. Feeling extra tired and nauseated.
Smells are getting to me
What are you craving? Watermelon

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy?
Peanut butter eggs

I'm glad to hear that everything went well today and that you have another appointment in a few days. Spotting is scary, but it sounds like your doc is keeping a close eye on you. Praying that the spotting goes away and you can relax a little bit!!

I'm going to check in now! Thank you for looking out for me!!

Oh that is rough not feeling much movement. Do you have an anterior placenta? I have heard that sometimes it is hard to feel the baby move if your placenta is in the way. That bladder thing happens to me, too. I feel the urge to pee so badly, then I go and just a little bit comes out. Sometimes if I get up and sit down again I can go more... sorry for the TMI!!

SuperKim13 · April 2014

Good Evening, ladies and happy Marathon Monday here in Boston! I had the day off today which was nice. DH and I drove to visit family out of state for the holiday and it turns out that 18 hours in the car over the course of 4 days suuuuuucks when you're 6 months pregnant...

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 26 weeks, a head of lettuce

Appts/ Updates? Appointment coming up this Wednesday. Hoping to be taken off of pelvic rest so that I can withold sex from DH by my own choice! (just kidding....) I also have my 1 hour GD testing this week.

How are you feeling? I have been feeling really good but the aforementioned car ride took it's toll. My back and ribs were really bugging me by the end. Hoping to be feeling better now that it's over.

What are you craving? Ice cream and pasta

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy? The peanut butter eggs for sure. I used to be all about the peeps, but they are kind of grossing me out lately.

Thanks for the check in superkim!

lindsayhilleary - How was the anatomy scan? Being team green is a little tough, but I've had fun. Do any of your friends or relatives have a guess as to the sex? The a/s was perfect and my MFM is having me come in again at 25wks for a growth scan. I'm definitely enjoying being team green. No guesses from friends or fam - I'm pretty convinced LO is a boy though.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 21 weeks - pomegranate!

Appts/ Updates? I had my 20 week appointment last Thursday and my OB said everything is looking great. She's having me come in at 25wks for another appointment and the glucose test. Oh joy.

How are you feeling? Exhausted. And I've got a yucky cold at the moment. But my sciatica has eased up a bit for the time being, which is nice.

What are you craving? Juice. Tons of juice.

QOTW:
What is your favorite "Easter" Candy? Cadbury cream eggs. My all time favorite candy.

Congrats on the anatomy scan and great update. It so exciting. I have no idea as to the sex, but my friends and family all sure seem to. And have fun scoring those discounted Cadbury eggs this week!!

@SuperKim13‌
Fuccimama
- How was your appointment last week? Great, cervix still long @ 3cm and baby still head down!

Any progress on the nursery this week? Just bought a mattress to make the bed! The room is still a mess with baby clothes and DH military stuff every where.

As always, Thank you for running this thread weekly!

Hopefully I'll get back into nesting if my muscles will allow me! Here are a couple pics!

(((Hugs))) for the upcoming milestone. I love that crib and the sheets! Thanks for posting the pics! So glad that everything is looking good!

How did you go about choosing your mattress? I have no idea what I'm doing. I was planning to just use amazon reviews..

@superkim13 I have no idea where my placenta is. I am hoping it is not anterior because I would have problems with a C-sec? (not sure). The doctor didn't mention anything. I like he is like that because I get nervous with every little thing, but I will have to ask next time... Good luck with the GD test! I hope you pass it with no problem

SandSunBliss · April 2014

Hi superkim!!!! Thanks for the checkin.

Friends, I love reading your updates. I can't believe how far along we all are getting. I'm so excited for all of you.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? June 2. 34 weeks. Butternut squash

Appts/ Updates? Had an appointment yesterday. Baby has dropped into my pelvis. Things are getting real! Apparently since this will be my first labor, this isn't too early and doesn't mean we wil have the baby early. My doctor will only let me go a week beyond our EDD. I don't really want to be induced, so hopefully baby makes an appearance in the next 7 weeks( but not the next three!) Eeek!!

How are you feeling? Good. A little back pain today but she said that was to be expected after baby drops.

What are you craving? Cookies. Grilled veggies. Quesadillas. All at different times...

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy? Hollow bunny, for sure

*******************************

SandSunBliss - Have you been able to relax a bit this week? Will you take a break before getting down to business on the final baby prep?

I did get some relaxing in last week after Tuesday! DH and I played in the nursery some lastnight. We are going to the coast for a few days toward the end of the week. It's kind of a mini babymoon. Then, when we get back, it is on! I want to have the nursery fully put together by our shower may 3 so I can show it off

almost everything else is done at this point. Last birthing class tonight. Then, two breast feeding classes in early May and we will really be done with classes. It is going by so fast- I am trying to enjoy every second.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 27

Appts/ Updates? I think I have an appointment in a few weeks..i need to check my calendar.

How are you feeling? Pretty good.

What are you craving? Nothing right now.

QOTW: What is your favorite "Easter" Candy Reese pb eggs

Amores0121 – How was your week? Did you schedule your ultrasound? Do you have a partial previa?

Hi! So sorry I'm late. Didn't work on Monday, so I didn't log in. I know I haven't been good the last few weeks about posting, it's been so busy at work but now that tax season is over, it should be better. My U/S went good, placenta is fine. Moved up on its own. I just started my Hypnobirthing classes last week so now that's another thing I have to add to my daily list of to-dos...reading and breathing!! Hope everyone is doing well!

@SuperKim13‌ I went online for babies r us since I had a 20% off coupon, and looked at prices chose two that were waterproof and looked at reviews for how soft or hard it was. Also to see how there babies slept on it. After that I went in felt mattress for my own comfortability (like the three bears I guess) not too hard not too soft sort of thing! Thank you, I loved the 100 Dalmatians!

They are so cute!! Thanks for sharing about the mattress. I have no idea where to start, but I think we should definitely go see if we can find one that is "just right" for us! (-:
