Parenting after a Loss

Hi everyone!! This has become more of an "every few week" check in, and again I apologize about that!! If there is someone who would like to step in and do this more consistently, by all means.. otherwise I'll continue posting when I get the chance :) 

I hope that everyone is doing great!! Can't wait to hear how you are all progressing!!!

1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you?

2.  How have you been feeling this week?

3.  Any big appointments or milestones?

4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?

5.  QOTW: Let's talk cravings!  Same as previous pregnancy, completely different?  Tell us all about em ;-)

6. Share a bump pic, if you'd like =)

Re: ~*~ KU PALer Check-In ~*~

  • I will play today :)

    1. EDD is 5/28...I am almost 37 weeks.
    2. I think I have finally hit that uncomfortable and feeling "done" point. I am really sore all over, not sleeping, swelling, etc.
    3. I had my first cervical check last week and I was 1cm and 50% effaced, so that was exciting. I have weekly appts now but I don't think they are doing another check at my appt this week.
    4. I think at this point I am just trying to get by and just waiting for LO to come. I am so anxious to meet him and have him in my arms, safely.
    5. I haven't really had many specific cravings this time...I like all the food :) haha. With DS I really craved anything frozen like ice cream or milkshakes.
    6. Here is a pic from Easter Sunday after church, with me and DS.

    1. EDD is January 7, 4w4d today. Praying this LO sticks!!

    2. Really tired. Like, I could nap all day and still be tired. Other than that, no real symptoms yet. I hope they show up soon for reassurance!

    3. I have my first app with the nurse on Wednesday, just for paper work. First u/s is on the 19th. It can't come fast enough!

    4. Keeping up with DD while being so tired has been a struggle. Other than that, I'm just enjoying being pregnant again.

    5. No real cravings yet. All though I did think about having an onion bagel with chive cream cheese the other day. I haven't wanted that since I was pregnant with DD.
    @KJsbabe, I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU HERE! Lots of sticky thoughts, mama.

    1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you? I'll be 20 weeks on Wednesday. This pregnancy = SO FAST.

    2.  How have you been feeling this week? Mostly good! I am terrible about taking it easy and still try to run around and do dumb things like move (relatively light) furniture, so I usually pay for it with achey nethers by the end of the day.

    3.  Any big appointments or milestones? A/S on Thursday. I'm nervy/excited. We're not going to find out the sex, but of course I'm fretting about all of the other things we might discover :(

    4.  Highlights or struggles of the week? None, really, unless you count my totally absent sex drive and DH's needs every other day. I love the fella, but seriously. It's the very last thing that I want to do right now.

    5.  QOTW: Let's talk cravings! I didn't really have cravings with DD. This time around, there was a week where I swear I ate a fried bologna sandwich every day. But that's been it... so far.

    Here's us at the zoo's Easter celebration with crabby pants DD.

    @RusalkaSings‌ Thanks so much!! GL at your a/s! Love the zoo pic!

    @ksyknelvr73‌ You look wonderful!

    @PugLife5869‌ Sending you lots of good thoughts for your first app. I hope everything goes great!

    @ellebelle2384‌ I had some pain on the right last week, too. It felt like I was ovulating for three days. I did O from that side this month, so I'm thinking corpus luteum cyst. I hope it gets better for you.

    @4legsRbest‌ I hope the time flies until your a/s!

    @theresat858‌ I hope you get some of your energy back soon!

  • I love seeing all these updates!!!! Squeeee for all ya'll :-). @ksyknelvr73‌ you look amazing! As do you, @RusalkaSings‌ !! @4legsRbest‌ !! I wanna see twin bump pics!! I'm sure you look great!! @KJsbabe‌ @ellebelle2384‌ @shell041783‌ welcome!!!! I'm so excited to see you guys in here!! Good luck with the A/S scans 4legs and Rusalka!! @theresat858‌ ... Can't believe you are 16 weeks already!! I hope you are feeling better/less sick soon!! @PugLife5869‌ ... If you'd like to take over, that's fine :-). I'm sorry for the spontaneous check ins... Life can be busy and exhausting ;-) For me... 1. September 14... So 21+3 I think. 2. Feeling good... But it's only Monday ;-). Migraines have been terrible... Fiorcet helps, but the caffeine keeps me up all night... It's a catch 22.. 3. I had my A/S a little over a week ago... Baby is wonderfully perfect, and I'm still working on processing the idea that we will be having a baby GIRL!!! It's so crazy to me after having 2 boys ;-). I fully expect them to tell me at my next ultrasound on Friday that they were wrong and it's a boy... Will be holding my breath Friday when I ask them to confirm again!!! 4. Highlights... Checking out all the adorable baby girl things I may soon be purchasing!!! Babylegs, tutus, hair bands and ruffle butts galore!! Struggles... I failed my 1hr GTT... I was GD with both previous boys, butttt the thing is, this time I only failed it by 8 points (not fasting)... Where as with my boys I failed 30-40pts. I wasn't planning on doing the 3hr, was just going to start tracking, but my sugars have been good with tracking so far so part of me wants to do the 3hr bc I think I might pass... But, then I still have to retake the 3hr at 28w so do I really wanna do it twice? Or just skip it and poke myself 4x a day for the next 4 months... Decisions decisions! 5. Meat!!! Steak. Burgers. Porkchops. Etc. this girl makes me want protein!!! 6. Bump pic... I'll update this on Wednesday when I tKe one! I can't figure out how to post a pic mobile and not have it sideways though... So be prepared for a sideways bump pic :-)

    Hi! Congrats to those who are new!!

    I'm 20 weeks

    Feeling good. Feeling lots of movement.

    Our A/S was last Tuesday and we have our 3rd baby boy on the way! He has a pelvic kidney (one didn't move up to the normal spot). Functioning ok, just need to keep an eye on it.

    No specific cravings. I'm just always eating. :)

    Hi ladies!  I know I'm late, but I hope it's OK that I join in. 

    1.  What is your EDD/how far along are you? EDD is Jan 2 (going by O date), so I'm 5w5d.

    2.  How have you been feeling this week? So incredibly tired.  Nips are so sore and I have shooting pains now and then (I know...TMI).  Nauseous at times, but nothing that lasts...yet.

    3.  Any big appointments or milestones? Had my first u/s on Monday, TWO babies measuring 6w1d and 5w4d.  I go back next Tuesday for another u/s.

    4.  Highlights or struggles of the week?  Struggling with so much!!!  For those that aren't on the PGAL board, I lost my mother almost two weeks ago.  Now, struggling with the thought of another twin pregnancy and two newborns.  Just very overwhelmed and feeling guilty for not being excited. 

    5.  QOTW: Let's talk cravings!  Same as previous pregnancy, completely different?  Tell us all about em   I'm craving salty things, crackers, chips, potatoes, anything with salt works.  Sweet things just don't quite cut it right now.  Same as the last two pregnancies.

    6. Share a bump pic, if you'd like =)  No bump yet.

I find myself wanting to add weeks when people ask bc I'm terrified of someone saying I'm huge... Eff it, were growing a human!! Are you team green?? I forget ;-). Eta stupid mobile bump won't let me tag properly!!
