Re: ~*~PgAL Check in 4/24~*~
@eortman How is the exhaustion this week?
@Saritaota614 I hate the days where there isn’t a lot of movement, it’s so stressful. I hope this week was better.
@Anotherdreamer How did your appointment go? Any reassurance on your mumps worries?
@e_cruiz How was your u/s? I am measuring 2 weeks big also, everything seems to be fine though.
@superkim13 Hope you are well!
@AmericaninOz How are you this week?
@lealupins How was your test yesterday? I had mine this morning and I feel like crap due to all the sugar.
@SherylA80 How is everything going?
@Shanaynerz I am so sorry you are getting sick again L
@SweetTamale38 So glad everything looks good!
@CONativeGal How are you doing?
@BettyBoop86 I am sorry about the BH’s those are no fun.
@Qfrump I hope you are having a good week?
@mamabc14 I hope you are well.
@hopalong1015 How is your RLP this week?
@lamarei I am sorry you are still so sick. Have you mentioned the itching to your Dr. it can be a sign of cholestasis. I don’t want to scare you but I had a good friend diagnosed with it a few months ago so anytime someone complains about lots of itching, it pops into my brain.
@Princezjk How are things going with you?
@bluebear1588 Hope you are having a good week.
@CaitNMatt I hope you are well.
@NataliasMOM0214 I hope you are feeling better this week.
@bunny0711 How are you this week?

Favorite moment of the week?
There are too many to count! I enjoyed a good friend's wedding, celebrated my DH's birthday and easter with the fam, bought a mommy car!! But visibly seeing this little girl respond to DH's voice would have to top the list! His excitement made me fall even more in love with him.

My Granny had shoulder surgery yesterday. All went well, but it still made me a nervous wreck.

26w6d
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm starting to get a little more uncomfortable in bed and getting up off the couch requires a little more oomph but that's about it.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Doing well though I have moments of getting nervous about getting towards the end and finding out they need to induce or do an emergency c-section while DH is out of town.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Had my 1-hour GTT yesterday. I have a feeling even if I pass it I'll still end up doing the 3-hour at some point because I almost always have sugar in my urine (have ever since I was little) and they're always commenting/concerned about it even though I've told them many times it's something I've had my whole life. For now I'm trying to eat my leftover Easter candy just in case they put me on dietary restrictions.
Growth u/s next Wednesday to check on the fluid level in baby's kidneys...hoping all looks well.
Favorite moment of the week?
We'll be closing on our house tomorrow! It's been a long stinkin' process.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Nothing really.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

I saw a picture of someone's daughter eating ice cream cake for her birthday so I bought ice cream cake and told DH it was to celebrate him getting an award at work, when in reality I just REALLY wanted ice cream cake.

Favorite moment of the week?
She started kicking my ribs. I know this would annoy most people and it prob will eventually annoy me, but right now I smile everytime she does it!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Got into an argument with DH over our birth plan. Basically my hormones are out of control and everything makes me cry. Once I had a minute to think about the situation... I had no reason to get mad at him. Poor husband

@AnotherDreamer -- That sounds so frightening. I am glad things settled down a bit, and you are in my prayers for feeling better soon and calm waters for a while longer. Hang in there, babies!!!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
Just hitting 29 weeks, acorn squash!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Loose stools still. They are not urgent, but very annoying when you think you are just going to pee but end up squirting.
Otherwise, I'm feeling great!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Busy baby this week = calm mind

*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest food confession this week?
Don't really have one, so I think I'm doing a good job!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK, LADIES!!!
Today I am 27 weeks, 4 days.
The vomiting came back a couple days ago, but only for an hour to an hour and a half a night. I'll take it. The itching is livable. Constipation was terrible last week , but I finally got that remedied. Compared to the first 27 weeks of bring pregnant, I feel so great (yes, even with the puking and itching). Everything else has finally passed!!
PGAL brain pops in if Olivia doesn't move every few hours, but it's not do overwhelming anymore. I almost feel like I can enjoy the last three months like a normal person.
Just had my 1 hour GD test today. Hoping it comes back ok. I don't feel sick, I finally feel human again!
Favorite moment: OB telling us everything is great.
Least favorite: few hours after GD test feeling wonky.
Food confession: pancakes and chocolate cake, compliments of my mom. It helped me pack on mad weight I didn't want or need. Back to eating healthy this week
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
28 Weeks / Eggplant
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Ok overall - pretty good actually. My pelvis/back feel ok as long as I wear good shoes and don't overdo it. I'm starting to be uncomfotable sleeping though so every couple of nights I can't get back to sleep after my nightly bathroom break
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Pretty good, I'm starting to think I should start washing thing though - like blankets and clothes, just in case baby comes early
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I see my ob on wed for my rh and glucose test results
Favorite moment of the week?
Lots of big movements - I was just watching my stomach moving last night:)
Least favorite moment of the week?
Pregnancy insomnia last night - I feel tired today
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest food confession this week?
Just EVERYTHING. I could seriously eat nonstop. I'm really trying to not go overboard, but I feel like I'm ALWAYS hungry! Dh was telling me last night 'it's all in your head' I know I know but sigh - it's hard!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
27w3d, two rutabagas
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Not doing too bad, just feeling big and tired. Eating is still up and down, but that's apparently par for the course.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
So bad today! Had my shower, so haven't been too busy today, at least physically, but I don't feel as crappy as I normally do, so of course I'm freaking out. And I haven't really felt them as much, so I've been freaking out. Might drink some juice and lay down in a bit.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Nothing this week.
Favorite moment of the week?
My pedicure was lovely and going to the OB and hearing babies' HBs and knowing things are great was wonderful.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Not feeling the babies as much as I'm used to really.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
What is the biggest food confession this week?
Hmm, I've been eating a lot. Despite my GD I've been eating mostly what I want and can keep down since some things just aren't sitting. I take insulin, so that's definitely been helping keep my sugars down.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
30 weeks: English Cucumber
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Still lots of BH. I am short so and baby is high so my belly is coming out instead of up now. lots of kicks and rolls.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I don't have think it is PGAL brain, but NICU Nurse brain!!! Every day I am convinced I am going into preterm labor. Now that I am seeing babies my gestation and younger at work it freaks me out a little. But my OB keeps telling me that I am having a great pregnancy and no threat of preterm labor or birth.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Growth Scan at 33 weeks!!!
Favorite moment of the week?
I had a baby at work whose original due date was July 17. I got to help mom hold for the first time. I saw a change in her from the moment she got to hold the baby
Least favorite moment of the week?
Sister is being difficult...she JUST got engaged a few weeks ago and wants the wedding soon in Mexico. I am NOT taking a 2 month old to Mexico and may not be able to go to her wedding.
