slensic · May 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

31 weeks, pineapple

How are you feeling?

Pretty good just big and it's starting to be hard to move around.

Favorite moment of the week?

Seeing baby boy on u/s this morning

Least favorite moment of the week?

I have been pretty short tempered with DH and DD and I feel shitty about it

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Fine except for BH's which suck

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

pretty good, I still worry about late term loss and still birth though

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Lots I am starting on every two weeks at the OB and the Perinates, so I have lots of Dr. appts all the way until the end now

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)?

I love the name Wren but don't think I could actually use it.

Bonus: Baby boy from this morning

haleyusf · May 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

9wks; olive!

How are you feeling?

Feeling okay; still dealing with night nausea and now middle of the night hunger after the nausea finally passes. I *think* boobs might be settling down... I was able to sleep on my stomach for an hour comfortably last night!

Favorite moment of the week?

Mother's Day was wonderful; had a nice brunch with my parents, time by the pool, and SO took me to see "Bears" movie!

Least favorite moment of the week?

Had a massive headache last night and I was being a bit of a "B" to SO. I apologized today, but I still feel bad for taking it out on him.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

See the headache above; I think I'm starting to get BP headaches. I got them with DS in the 2nd tri from the excess blood volume, but last night's headache felt like that.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

We've told a handful more people so I'm really praying for a good ultrasound next week.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

U/s next monday morning. Get to see the little one (although I'm still convinced there might be another one hiding). Also, we agreed that we'd go FB official after that, so kinda crazy! I've been having to hide my belly in photos this week and it's getting a little silly.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)?

Reagan (pronounced Ree-gan) -- I love it, but I just know it would always be pronounced "Ray-gan" and it's just not the same. I'm also a sucker for really long french sounding names that are impossible to spell.

rox825 · May 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 15 weeks, navel orange

How are you feeling? OK, still tired but everything else seems to have ended.

Favorite moment of the week? We started telling people after my appointment last Friday so I've had a few, I told a good friend last night and she was so excited.

Least favorite moment of the week? Today especially this afternoon, I'm having the WORST tailbone pain.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? The tailbone pain, it's excruciating and it seems to get worse each work day with more sitting. I curled my sweater up into a ring to sit on that today and it's not helping, every move I make is killing me. I need to do something about it, I'm just not sure what kind of dr to schedule an appointment with.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? OK, but I can't help but worry that by telling people now I'm jinxing the pregnancy.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? None until next Friday.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)? I don't know that I have any, most of the names that I love are names that I would probably use!

megbmeg · May 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

10 weeks - prune! I'm thrilled to be at 10 weeks, but isn't there something cuter that's the size of a prune? A big cherry? A peanut in its shell?

How are you feeling?

Barfy

Favorite moment of the week?

Saw LO yesterday! I'm going to try to attach a picture below. He (or she?) was waving his little hands & feet around. I'd never seen that before, so that was so wonderful.

Least favorite moment of the week?

Water made me barf this morning. Boo! Water? How is that offensive, stomach?

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

Yesterday's u/s helped a lot. I think it is enough to get me through to the 12 week appt at the end of May.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)?

I LOVE this question. I often think of names that are wonderful and jot them down in my list of awesome names (yep, I have one) - but then when I look back at them, I think they sound a little off. Most are just a little too frilly or ancient or French

Mathilde

Delphine (so pretty! but so close to Dolphin!)

Octavia

Verity

Ocean (but French, so Oh - she - an).

megbmeg · May 2014

@slensic - whoa, pineapple! that's exciting. no wonder it is getting harder to be mobile. And little guy looks great in the pic. I think that's the best 4D I've seen!

@haleyusf - hooray for over the top french names. I love them too. I am seriously considering Josephine, but that's probably as French as we'll go

@meagpt22 - seeing the baby open its mouth sounds so cool! wonder what he's/she's up to

@rox825 - I hope you get some relief for your poor tailbone soon. That sounds miserable!

Bonnesetter27 · May 2014

@Bonnesetter27 V-day!! How are the contractions? Yeah for V-Day! Although I was talking to a friend who had a nicu baby and she was saying that there were several 23 weekers who were doing well. Why is 24 weeks then viability day?

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

24 weeks/ I am not sure what fruit that is.

How are you feeling?

I am in fairly good spirits. Work is really busy right now.

Favorite moment of the week?

A coworker brought in her 2 week old lo and got me very excited for my own.

Least favorite moment of the week?

I had a brown mucousy clot last week.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Contractions are the same. My coworkers made me call the dr last wed. The nurse said she thought it could wait until my appt tomorrow. I am nervous that the contractions plus the brown clot will make my dr. think harder about bedrest.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I feel lo kicking all the time so PGAL brain is at bay. T&P's though that my placenta moves up!

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Appt tomorrow.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)? I love a lot of the trendy girl names, olivia, sophia but we really don't want a name that everyone else has.

Bonnesetter27 · May 2014

@slensic-with all of those dr appts do you have a good book to get through the waiting?
@haleyusf-Good luck at the u/s
@meagpt22- That is very sweet of your dh.
@rox825- I am sorry about the tailbone pain.
@birch113-I've named animals names that I wouldn't name my lo too.

longcat07 · May 2014

hi everyone! intro'ing here, sort of.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

haha i'm 4w! i feel like that's the magic number in the beginning for some reason. total n00b, EDD 1/20. little bean is a poppy seed right now.

If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!)

not far enough along yet!

How are you feeling?

mostly normal. a little crampy, gassy/bloated, sore boobs, and tired. short bouts of nausea...i actually threw up this morning. that's completely new, and this is my third pregnancy. i felt pretty awful for several months with DS but i never actually tossed my cookies. i've now learned not to take my vitamins or psyllium on a mostly empty stomach.

Favorite moment of the week?

seeing the second line yesterday.

Least favorite moment of the week?

barfing. i'm thankful for it, but man i hate barfing.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

hopefully worse, at this stage.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

ok so far. i mean, i'm still wrapping my head around it i guess. my loss was pretty early so i'm on pins and needles, symptom-spotting and hoping this is really real.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

i'm making myself wait till AF is actually late (she'd be due tomorrow, so late on thursday) before making an appointment. i'm wanting to switch to a different practice because i wasn't very happy with the "bedside manner" (is it really bedside manner over the phone?) at my first place when i had my loss. i've never actually seen this (or any) OB and i feel like they just blew me off. the new place i want to try is a lot closer. i'm hoping they'll do early scans there. i know they do at the first place because they'd scheduled one for me around 8w out.

ok, that was a lot of words to say i don't have an appointment yet. i guess the big milestones i'm looking for here is for AF to actually be late and to get past my loss point (5w3d, which is about 10 days out at this point).

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)?
belladonna. i think it's so pretty and it means "beautiful lady"...but of course, we all know it's also a poisonous plant. LOL. maybe someday i'll have a female black cat i can use it on.

MrsTuna08 · May 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

12 weeks, plum

How are you feeling?

pretty darn good this week, still kind of tired, still a few headaches, but overall I really can't complain

Favorite moment of the week?

It might be a tie - #1 Seeing LO on u/s for the NT scan and getting a great NT/nasal bone report; #2 Finding the heartbeat with my at home doppler - I was going to wait a full week after not finding it at 11w2d, but I apparently have zero will power so I only made it a couple days before I tried again.

Least favorite moment of the week?

So after failing the glucose screen I was supposed to do the full 3 hour test, but with the move and I have a visitor and then we are traveling, blah blah blah I put it off and planned on doing it mid or late week next week. However, the PA told me that my urine from today and last week had ketones and protein meaning that my sugar is probably whacked out already. sh*t. So, I will be following the special diet while we are traveling and taking the test Monday morning.

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Much better this week

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

With all of the good appointments and my doppler, I'm feeling pretty good. We still have to get the results of the blood test that accompanies the NT scan, so I'm a bit anxious about that, but it is manageable.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?

Getting our blood work from today's NT scan appointment back.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)?

It's not so much a guilty pleasure, but I wouldn't use it because it sounds weird with our last name. I love the name Fletcher.

megbmeg · May 2014

@longcat07‌ Congrats! Welcome! Good luck with this week's milestone

MrsTuna08 · May 2014

@slensic Wren is on my short list for a girl

Also, what an adorable shot of that sweet face!!!!

@meagpt22 I'm still annoyed at your BIL on your behalf. I'm glad your meds are helping you feel better though!

@rox825 maybe a chiropractor could help with the tailbone pain?

@megbmeg I have had a running list for a couple of years now! I think it's a great way to remember names you randomly hear.

@bonnesetter27 sending you placenta moving vibes!

kibylou · May 2014

Hi all! Can I join you ladies?

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? I'm new here! Just 5 weeks today!

How are you feeling? Feeling pretty normal physically. Just nervous emotionally.

Favorite moment of the week? My favorite moment was when the dr told me my beta test had doubled!

Least favorite moment of the week? Feeling nauseous for only one day and now no symptoms for the last 3 days. (Not really a moment, but oh well)

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? I pretty much have no symptoms except for feeling overly warm all the time.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I am at least comforted by my good beta numbers... But still nervous. My 2nd loss was just in March.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? First appt with the dr isn't until June 16th, so I have a long wait ahead of me! I am looking forward to getting through next week to pass my recent loss day of 6 weeks 3 days.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~* What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)? I like the name November, mostly cuz I love the name Novie! Our first loss was due in November 2012, so I nicknamed him/her Novie.

haleyusf · May 2014

Bonnesetter27 -- good luck at your appt today! Bed rest sucks, but if it helps your little one cook for a couple more months, it's worth it. I did 5 weeks of it with my son and it blew monkey chunks but kept him in till full term. T&P headed your way!

megbmeg · May 2014

@longcat07‌ Congrats! Welcome! Good luck with this week's milestone

@kibylou Congrats on the doubling betas! Welcome

rox825 · May 2014

Welcome and congrats to the new posters!

slensic what a great picture, can't believe you're a pineapple already!

meagpt22 glad that the meds are helping and you're finally feeling a little better.

megbmeg I still have trouble with water, it doesn't make me sick but it just tastes so blah. Everything else has too much sugar though so I'm trying to force it down but I know I'm not getting the 8 cups I'm supposed to.

Bonnesetter27 Congrats on V-day! Hope you don't need bedrest.

Thanks for the thoughts re- the tailbone pain. I saw that someone else posted about the same thing yesterday on my BMB and a few posters said that they had it in past pregnancies and a chiropractor helped, so if it doesn't resolve by the end of the weekend I'll probably look into that.

Rahturc · May 2014

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the thread, here's my intro:
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
12 weeks!! A plum or lime!

How are you feeling?
Nauseated, tired, always needing to pee!

Favorite moment of the week?
Telling our families the great news! Had amazingly excited reactions!

Least favorite moment of the week?
Suffering from a UTI... On my second round of meds

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Worried about my UTI

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)?

Willow is a beautiful name, but my DH thinks it's too hippy

kalynn12 · May 2014

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?

10 weeks, prune

How are you feeling?

Symptoms are dragging me down this week, I really am not getting much done at work.

Favorite moment of the week?

On Sunday I am driving out to see my BFF who is in to see her parents. They had a baby 5 weeks ago so I can't wait to meet him for the first time!

Least favorite moment of the week?

On Sunday I was walking my dog and suddenly got sick on the side of the road, of course my dog tried to start eating it. So here I am cars driving past, I am puking and trying to hold my dog back. Yup, lovely!

How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?

Pretty consistent nausea, vomiting every couple of days, not much of an appetite.i just keep telling myself it could be much worse.

How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?

I bought a Doppler earlier this week, really hoping it arrives on Friday and I don't have to wait until Tuesday. With my last US 3 weeks ago, I am just hoping there is still a heartbeat in there.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Passed my last milestone this past week so feeling good about that. I have my first midwife appointment next Wednesday.

~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*

What is your guilty pleasure name ( the name(s) you love but would never actually name a child that)? I don't have any names that I would never do but there are some that DH hates that won't happen: Emmy, Sidonie and Blake.

@slensic Wow that is a fantastic picture! Is it crazy for me to think that there will be a pineapple (or watermelon) in my stomach in a few months? I can only imagine how hard that is.

@haleyusf Sorry about the headaches, those can't be fun on top of tha nausea. Good luck with the ultrasound!

@meagpt22 Glad to hear the meds are helping and yeah for a great ultrasound!!

@rox825 It must be so exciting to be telling people, sorry to hear that PGAL brain is being a b**ch.

@megbmeg Sorry about the morning sickness, have you tried flavouring your water? It has helped mine to go down easier. congrats on the great US!

@birch113 UTI suck, sorry you have to deal with that on top of everything else.

@bonnesetter27 I hope your appointment went well today! Hopefully no bed rest. I love Olivia and Sophia too but feel the same way as you. I remember how badly it sucked to be 1 of 3 in my class as I had a top 5 name.

@longcat07 Welcome to the check in and congrats on the BFP!

@mrstuna08 Congrats on the great NT scan!

@kibylou Welcome to checkin! Yeah for doubling betas!

@rahturc Welcome to check in! It must have been very exciting to tell the family!

charmedgrl517 · May 2014

Congrats to the new ladies!

@slensic- he is so precious!
21 wks
Not feeling so great this past week. Pretty sure it's bad RLP. My doc agrees. It's just scary anytime there is pain and it's so much worse this time than it was with DD1. I tried to take it as easy as I could today, it's hard to do.
Fav moment will be this Saturday for my bday

altho I also have my SIL ' S bachelorette party the same day and I'm not crazy about it since she pretty much just wants to go bar hopping

Least fav is this scary RLP. I can deal with the pain but I always worry about baby girl with anything I feel.
Symptoms is the RLP
PGAL brain sucks anytime your in pain

Next appt isn't until June 2nd which will be the same week as Vday!
I actually can't say that I have one lol I guess an odd name that I kinda like is Piper but I named our cat that since I would never use it as a name our child lol.
Hope everyone has a great week

megbmeg · May 2014

@Kalynn12 thanks for the idea. I've had better luck with Gatorade so maybe flavoring the water would work. Congrats in passing your milestone. I hope it was a big relief! I'll be curious I hear about your Doppler. I'm holding out til 12 weeks & then I'm getting one. Actually maybe I should order it next week so it actually gets here by 12 wks!!

@charmedgrl517‌ happy early bday! Piper is a really cute name, for cat or human. My last name starts with P so I'm avoiding P names, but that's a charmer.

charmedgrl517 · May 2014

Thank you! Yeah I'm glad I got to use it somehow!
