June 14 PGAL Mommas Checkin

kimmyberly26 · May 2014

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.

catsinawindow · May 2014

How far along are you? 35 weeks

Team / Name? Pink / Lorna

What do you still have left to prep? Oh, I have a list, lol. Still need to pull the baby stuff out of storage in the basement, make freezer meals, wash and organize baby clothes, pack hospital bag, prepare postpartum items (ie padsicles).

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, pretty tired and achy. Emotionally, good.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Had a good MW appointment yesterday. My BP was elevated the first time she took it (almost identical to my BP at my last appointment), but she took it again at the end of the appointment and it was low/normal, so that was encouraging. It was the first time I met this MW (my practice has 7 that we rotate between) and I really, really liked her. She included DS in the appointment and generally was very positive and encouraging (and funny!) Of the 7 MWs, I've met 6 so far and have really clicked with 3 of them, and thought the other three were OK. Meeting the last MW at my next appointment, hopefully.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Nothing really to add here.

Any baby awesomeness this week? MW was almost certain that she is head-down. That's a relief bc they were having a hard time telling before. She also thinks that she'll be a little smaller than my son (which makes me happy for delivery). She asked me how large my son was (8 lbs 3 oz) and told me that this LO doesn't feel like she'll be an 8 lb baby, probably somewhere in the 7s once she's fully cooked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him. Either the 3rd trimester fatigue or the aching hips and back.

Read247 · May 2014

How far: 33 weeks

Team/ name: blue, no name yet

Prep: wash clothes, put together crib, sterilize bottles (etc), buy nip pads, breast milk storage bags, clean out nursery.... I haven't done anything yet.

Physically/emotionally: exhausted. Had contractions about 3 min apart for 3 hours last night. Stressed thinking about having 2 kids. Hoping PPD doesn't hit me as hard as it did last time.

Updates/appt: regular appt coming up Thurs

PgAl fears: see above

Awesomeness: he's so active and strong my entire belly moves and shakes. It's reassuring and it freaks my boss out. Hahaha.

QOTW: love this question! If I was nice I'd let my DH feel the baby move, but I think I'd rather him have the constipation. Hahaha. He poops 3-5 times a day so that would be the worst for him! Then maybe he'd understand why I don't want to always eat these large starchy meals he makes me: I don't have room and I'm so backed up I'm nauseous!

dragonfly711 · May 2014

Thanks for doing the check in!!!!

How far along are you? 34 w 2 d

Team / Name? Pink

What do you still have left to prep? Need to wash baby clothes I hope today, and get the nursery organized just had my shower last weekend and a surprise shower at work yesterday so stuff is all over

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? had a breakdown yesterday morning before work, hubby helps a lot but in the mornings all the animals are my job, 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 horses. With the swelling in hands and feet and the carpal tunnel it is hard in the morning so i broke down. He was supportive and said he would help so we shall see.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Next Thurs US appt to see if she is still breech, if she is will schedule c section week before I am due

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? OMG all of it is a bit scary!!!

Any baby awesomeness this week? not really, dont feel her much so when she has the hiccups it is always cool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

not sleeping, carpal tunnel, swollen hands and feet, aches and pains. Not being able to bend over!!! oh list goes on lol

Team / Name? Blue/ Ryan Michael

What do you still have left to prep? Still have to wash his clothes, bedding, towels and washcloths; I have a list and and things bought for my bag but I just have to pack it.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically my hips and back are killing me. I also have a cold so I'm pretty miserable.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? 3rd NST this past week went well; I was having contractions so I just need to keep an eye on them. This week I start my weekly appointments and have my GBS test (even though I"m having a RCS)

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? None that I can think of.

Any baby awesomeness this week? Just the movements and being able to see them through my shirt are still cool. Lately other people have been able to see it too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him. The constipation and the back and hip pain that's so bad at night you can't turn or get out of bed in the morning.

ricecakes1216 · May 2014

How far along are you? 35w4d

Team / Name? Cameron

What do you still have left to prep? Everything! This weekend we finish everything so we can relax and not stress over it.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Exhausted and so uncomfortable.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Had another u/s and NST last week. Baby is still big but not distressed. The doctor I saw sucked. He didn't even go over the tests I had done. It was literally 5 minutes his assistant even commented on how fast the appointment was. So I called the nurse to go over test results and everything came back normal except my glucose test. I now have GD. I am so upset. I wish my previous test would have come back adnormal so I could have been taking better care of us. Now I have to wait to hear from the referal specialist to make an appointment with a diabetes educator. So I will be 36 almost 37 weeks before I see them and then what good is it?! Thank goodness I my SIL is finishing her degree in nutrition/dietetics so I called her for some guidance.

I see another doctor Tuesday for another u/s and NST. I am going with a list of questions because of my experience with this other doctor.

Any PgAL crazy/labor ears/parenting fear you want to add? Still terrified of labor.

Any baby awesomeness this week? The u/s tech flipped to 3D and we got the best look at baby's face. He is so freaking adorable! He looks so much like H it's the craziest thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

The pelvic/hip pain. I think he thinks I am crazy sometimes when I can't get myself up because of it. I never thought I'd be in pain like that.

Brookerose978 · May 2014

How far along are you? 36+2

Team / Name?Blue

What do you still have left to prep? Got the co-sleeper set up yesterday, so I feel like it's just all the little things left now!

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Emotions are high because I just found out that he is breech and an ECV is just not going to work for me(placenta is anterior). So I'm facing a possible c-section

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Friday-we will see if he has decided to flip on his own, if not I will be scheduled for a cs at the end of this month...yikes

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I am really disappointed that I may have a cs and not to mention scared. I've never had surgery before.

Any baby awesomeness this week? I'm sooo ready to meet and hold this LO!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

I would love to see him take on the giant heavy belly that causes the beached whale feeling when trying to get out of bed 6x a night. And to see his face when baby moves like a trapped alien, the other night he looked at my moving belly and got so weirded out. Lol, he knows it's amazing but he's like I don't know how you handle knowing that there is a HUMAN in there:-O

MollySm · May 2014

I know it's a day early, but we are celebrating today so Happy Mother's Day everyone! H and Lucia are at the store buying some sort of special treat for my breakfast, so I'm enjoying some alone time with my tea and the computer

How far along are you? 34w 1d

Team / Name? Pink/Viviana Mae

What do you still have left to prep? Everything! Do you think it's too late to set up a registry??

I meant to do them earlier so we could have the discount, but never got around to it. I've been working hard on clearing out her room (which was packed with boxes), so hopefully we can start the nursery set up next weekend. Today for Mother's Day we are spending the day in a fun part of the city, eating out, wandering around, and hopefully buying some decorative things for her room from the many secondhand shops down there. I'm excited for a day out and to get started on her room! I also need to rewash some baby stuff from Lucia (and hang in the sun to hopefully get rid of spit up stains). I'm feeling very unprepared - my due date is in 41 days!! Eeek!

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? A little stressed. This move was harder than I thought it would be a couple of months before baby gets here. I try and unpack and organize all the time that I'm not at work or caring for my daughter, but it just seems never ending. I definitely was in tears a few times this week. I told H that next time we move, I definitely should not be pregnant! Physically I feel good. Happy that Viv wasn't breech at our last appointment, and hopeful that she stays head down.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I just had my appointment on Tuesday this week. I shared on the appt thread, but things look good. She's finally head down, my fluid looks great, the placenta looks great. So now it's just time to wait. I need to schedule it, but my next appt should be in 2 weeks.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm nervous about getting everything ready on time. I know it doesn't really matter, but because I nanny (no paid leave) I will go back to work a week or 2 after giving birth. I really don't want to have to handle juggling 2 kids, one of them a newborn, plus work, plus getting the house ready. It's already too much with 1 kid. I also was awake at 4am the other day panicking about what time of day I'll go into labor, whether or not Lu's Gramma will answer the phone in the middle of the night if we need her, whether Lu will be awake at the time so she really will know what's going on, etc. It's hard to think about how hard this will be on here, even though I know in the long run it will be good for her.

Any baby awesomeness this week? Whohoo for head down! It's made her movements feel so different than before, but she's still such a wiggly little girl! So different from how Lucia was!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him. I'd love to let him know how some things feel. After sex these days I can barely walk for about 24 hours - it feels like she is about to fall out and is so painful. I'd love for him to try and get up and go to work and move about his day in that kind of pain. I'd also love for him to feel her moving - he sometimes feels like I'm not focused when he's talking - I usually poke him in the belly repeatedly to see how well he can concentrate while that's going on. I'd love for him to know how distracting it really is.

amwangel · May 2014

How far along are you? 34 w 1 d

Team / Name? Boy

What do you still have left to prep? Just wash some things and set up the co-sleeper. And a crapton of work work (4 website launches).

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Honestly, I'm sort of a hot mess this week. I found out this morning that one of my closest friends had a stillborn baby last night at 37 weeks. We were due exactly 3 weeks apart with our second boys. I just cannot believe it. All of my complaints seem ridiculous. I feel like I can't assume anything anymore. It's so freaking unimaginable. I want to be there for her, but am not sure how.

FeliciaTwo · May 2014

How far along are you? 35w3d

Team / Name? blue/unknown

What do you still have left to prep? Pretty much everything! We've only bought a carseat, bassinet, and stroller. So I guess we need to buy and wash clothes, get diapers, wipes, diaper changing area, buy any health care stuff like nail clippers or nose suckers, buy stuff for bathing the baby . . . . . etc etc. My plan for this weekend is to install the car seat and pack my hospital bag. :P

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically I'm stunningly good. No major aches or pains. Just very tired. Emotionally not bad either. I'm starting to get in the "zone."

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Appointment next Thursday! We'll figure out the baby's position and take the group strep b test . . . .

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm having major stress about breastfeeding. I have small breasts and am just anxious that I won't produce enough. I saw a lactation consultant this week and she actually made me more anxious, which is not what I was hoping for. . . .

Any baby awesomeness this week? Nothing beyond the normal awesomeness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him. The tiredness! I think he doesn't get it. It would also be cool if he could feel the baby moving. I think he doesn't get how great that is too.

SA1112 · May 2014

How far along are you? 34 weeks

Team / Name? Green, undecided

What do you still have left to prep? Need to get the car seat in the car, set up the swing and pack n play. Finishing touches on the nursery

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, Feeling pretty good. Emotionally, just can't believe how fast June is coming up!

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Have an appointment on Monday. Was measuring two weeks ahead at the last one so I'm interested to see if I still am.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Nothing too crazy this week.

Any baby awesomeness this week? Lots of movement! Also had a small baby shower today with some old co-workers/friends

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

Well I would hate to have him feel as terrible as I have but right now I'm still dealing with heartburn so I guess I'd pass that off.

Carriebear22 · May 2014

34w3d, I still can't believe that this is all really happening! Pink, Camryn ~~~~~prep left to do: today organizing after my baby shower yesterday, wash a few more things, pack bags and install car seat. Buy a few necessities we haven't gotten yet and breast feeding supplies. ~~~~ physically getting a little more sore and tired! but not too bad. Emotionally feeling sentimental, lots of happy tears with the shower yesterday. My moms card said "you'll never know how much I love you until you feel how much you love Camryn"~~~~ weekly appointments with NSTs all looking great so far~~~ crazy: nothing too specific, mostly about nursing and looking ahead to the teenage years~~~~~ baby awesomeness: feeling her little butt high in my belly move from side to side, like she is spinning back and forth on her head. ~~~~~ QOTW: the sentimental emotions, feeling so much love growing inside me. This has been such a beautiful and perfect experience I wish he could feel it the way I do. (See, I'm extra sappy, getting misty eyed just thinking about it!) Also the tiredness

What do you still have left to prep? To much!! We still haven't finished the nursery. So my to do list: 1.) finish nursery 2.) finish packing hospital bag and put it in my car 3.) install car seat 4.)set up bassinet 5.) wash all our previously own/used items. Oh my goodness. My head is spinning just thinking about it.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Stressed/nesting/sore/tired

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Last 2w appt. Thursday. They will do a check to see if I've started to dilate yet or not. Then it's on to weekly appts.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Started getting some intense BH contractions this week and I've gained way to much weight this week. No idea how either!! I've been eating well. So, stressing about that and makes me think this baby will be bigger than my first and that's scary. Brain just in overdrive right now.

Any baby awesomeness this week?
We order baby's glider this week.

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him. Heartburn, aches, pains and punches to my cervix.

Team / Name? blue, Zachariah Louis

What do you still have left to prep? everything! Our new place we are moving to in July is 80% done so I don't even have a nursery to set up just yet and my shower isn't until the very end of May so we might have some last minute shopping to do. It'll come together so no point in stressing just yet.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Things are getting harder by the day physically. I've got a lot of pain and morning sickness so I'm trying really hard to make myself take it easy these last few weeks. Emotionally I'm excited to meet out LO.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Tuesday the 13th we have a normal check-up

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm worried about every twinge, BH, back pain, new symptom being the start to labor. I'm on my anniversary vacation with BH and back pain and terrified I'm going to go into labor here.

Any baby awesomeness this week? Hiccups like crazy, still transverse, still cooking away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

The pelvic and back pain for sure, that and the belly so he knows how terrible it is to try to move fast and fit into smaller places. I'd also love to give him the loving and reassuring feeling of having LO roll around when you are stressing out and worried about everything.

What do you still have left to prep? Nursery... just had my first baby shower this past weekend!

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, I'm exhausted and think I'm getting sick from the craziness of the past few weeks. Emotionally, I'm doing a lot better as we've moved into our house (and closed on it!!!) and we have our puppies back.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Started weekly appointments and my next one is Wednesday where she'll do my first cervix check.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Just the typical.

Any baby awesomeness this week? She is a BIG baby... I feel her everywhere all at the same time it feels like. I absolutely love it!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

Right now... it would be everything. He seems to 'forget' how big of a toll it is to carry a baby wants to be catered to. This isn't always but it's been more frequent recently... typically he's pretty good though.

kimmyberly26 · May 2014

How far along are you? 37w0d EKKKK!! So close to baby time and I think there is a full moon this week.

Team / Name? Pink (Kelsey)

What do you still have left to prep? Nada really. It helped that I already had stuff from DD#1.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, I am really starting to slow down. I spent most of the weekend recuperating from the week and laying around. Emotionally, I'm getting real anxious for her to come and be safe in my arms.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? My u/s last week revealed that the excess fluid exiting her kidneys was gone which was great news and she passed her BPP. My amniotic fluid is borderline but the dr didn't seem concerned since I am so far along. I'm thinning out but no dialation yet. My next appt is Wednesday. I didn't show any progress prior to my water breaking with DD#1 so I'm not to worried.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm so afraid that I won't be able to jugle two kids and my daughter may resent me for it since I'll have to take care of the baby so much.

Any baby awesomeness this week? She passed her BPP so that was pretty awesome!

QOTW – If you could give your SO on (or a few) symptoms of pregnancy to take over for you or just to let him know how it feels…which would you give him.

I'm with some of the other ladies and would totally give him the constipation and now the dang hemrroid I've developed. Oh, and maybe the constant peeing. We went to some community garage sales this weekend and I ended up having to use DDs potette in the back of the van just so we could keep going without having to find a gas station. Ugh.

@amwangel- I am sorry to hear about your friend. This story is a wake up call for me that I'm not out of the woods yet.

Hi All! I'm super late with the check-in this week.

How far along are you? 35w3d

Team / Name? Pink/ Laila (possibly Leila, probably not Layla)

What do you still have left to prep? It seems like a lot. I finished my BRU registry last night (Yay!) Now I need to wash everything and pack. I purposefully saved everything to do at 36-38 weeks. Now, I feel the crunch just in case LO decides to make an early appearance.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I feel great! I have aches and pains, but overall I'm happy to be pregnant. I'm nervous about how I will respond to motherhood.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Maternity photos on Saturday! I will be 36 weeks.

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I still have a mental block about labor. However, I've accepted that I have little control over what happens. I pray that my daughter and I have a much better relationship than the one I have with my biological mom. She's already a daddy's girl. Let's hope mommy gets some of that love, too.

Any baby awesomeness this week? Mother's Day was great! DH bought me a beautiful jewelry box and many of my friends called/texted to send their greetings. LO cooperated by getting off my bladder on Sunday. It was a good day.

I want DH to have my swelling. Most of all I want people to give him the extra long glares and rub his belly. He never understands how that gets annoying.

What do you still have left to prep? Nothing left to do but clean. Oh and Pack my hospital bag.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically I am exhausted. I guess I better get used to this no sleeping again. Emotionally is a day to day thing. As I approach my new induction date (which is June 4th) i get more and more anxious.

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I just had my BPP and NST yesterday...and everything looks good. apparently my LO is just not a morning person. Next appointment is Monday

Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I am starting to get nervous about delivery and then going in for my eye and nose surgery from the accident. How will I get through the recovery of both and still manage to take care of my babies?

Any baby awesomeness this week? Basically over the moon that LO passed the BPP this week and I don't have to go to the hospital for another one Until next Monday.

THe lack of sleep - if he tells me he's tired from not sleeping (playing video games or who knows what in the middle of the night) I may smother him
