weekly check-in (5/20)

QOTR · May 2014

Hi Ladies! I'm still here! And at the rate I'm going, I'll be able to lead the next two check-ins as well.

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

2) Age at delivery? (optional)

3) Any other children? Furbabies?

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

QOTW: Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day?

QOTR · May 2014

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?   Due date is today!

2) Age at delivery? (optional)   41

3) Any other children? Furbabies? 1 dog, that is getting worn out from all the walks I'm taking him on.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?   Feeling great, no symptoms that suggest any progress is happening.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?   I had an appt with my OB yesterday. She agreed to let me go to 42 weeks as long as my BP stays level and I have BPPs twice a week. That provides me some mental relief.   She had originally said that she would want to induce me next Monday. I'm so excited to meet this little guy, but I don't like the idea of hurrying him, if he and I are still healthy.   I'm doing acupuncture 3 times this week and will have a prenatal massage today to try to encourage him if he's ready.    Beyond that, I'm trying to go with the flow.

QOTW:    Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day?    This is one of the things I like to daydream about most.   I love to travel and explore new places, so I think it will be fun to experience that with a kiddo.   We have grandiose plans to take trips to see historical sites as he's learning about them in school.

1-I'm almost 17 weeks. I think baby is the size of an avocado but I feel like the size of a small house!

2-I will be 40 when #4 arrives!

3-An old kitty named Lobo and a very active lab named Blake.

4-Feeling good.

5-I just remembered that I need to go do my second set of blood work for my quad screen (luckily I haven't missed the cut off date!) I have my anatomy scan in June but we don't find out what we are having so that's pretty uneventful other than we get to see LO again! I think I have my DH convinced on a girl name since we've used up so many with our other 3 DD that I was worried I wouldn't find one that I liked as well. My mom told me that my Nona's middle name was Caterina and I just love it. Still working on a middle name but it makes me happy. We'll see I guess!

QOTW- I'm excited to take all my kids on a big blow out trip to Disneyworld. I hope the age spread is OK and that the oldest will still be super excited and the youngest isn't too little. That all depends on finances!

GL QOTR on your delivery I hope LO decides to come on his own! So exciting.

A sweet furbaby who is sick of me being on the computer today.

Raves: I think I have nailed down the day care situation - phew!

QOTW: Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day?
Great question! So many places, but the one that comes to mind is the coast of Maine. I traveled there alone once, and I am looking forward to taking DH and this LO with me someday.

NT scan was today. I had a wonderful tech. Nuchal measurements were all 1.6-1.7, so I am happy. Still looking forward to getting the full integrated results.   Next acupuncture appt is on May 27... next midwife appt is on May 30.

QOTW:    Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day?

It is always interesting to watch a person on their first trip to Morocco! We will probably wait till this little one is 2 or 3.

Otherwise, we have a pile of places on our list. I really want to get back to Japan -- DH and DD aren't protesting. We also adore Paris...   And DD is adamant we will see Prague and Budapest...   Egypt... all the lochs of Scotland.... the temples of Bagan (in Burma)... and learn to tango in Buenos Aires. That is one kid that will not be able to live without a passport.

QOTW: Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day? My DH and I have been discussing taking our kids to Kauai some day, we know our water babies would love it!

Krisd6 · May 2014

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

I am due the 24th- this Saturday!

39 weeks

Baby is the size of a pumpkin I think!

2) Age at delivery? (optional)

38

3) Any other children? Furbabies?
None- no fur babies either

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?

Feeling okay but every day the baby feels heavier. He is definitely pressing more and more on my bladder and it is taking me longer to walk long distances. Sleeping continues to be rough. I am excited but nervous.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

Went to the MD today. I am not dilated, nor effaced! She thinks I will be late and will hold off inducing me for 1-2 weeks more! I go back next week where we will make final plans in case I do need to be induced!

QOTW: Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day?

We are going to be going back to Hawaii in February- the baby, who will be 7 months old- will be joining us!!

Krisd6 · May 2014

QOTR- Good luck! Thinking of you! Just think- any day now!!!

QOTR · May 2014

Right back at ya! @Krisd6

danieleandwayne · May 2014

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? Dec 30th; 8 weeks, 2 days (guessing since I only know date of ovulation which was wonky because it was on day 31 of my cycle instead of the usual 15). Baby is the size of a raspberry, apparently.

2) Age at delivery? (optional) 40 Baby! Woohoo!

3) Any other children? Furbabies? DD Eleanor who will be 1 year old on June 1st. Moxie, a Lab-Rottie mix who is 6 going on 2 yrs old; and Elijah aka Il Duce, an orange tabby who is 14.5 yrs old and will be so irritated that we're getting another loud, pokey bald thing in the house. And DD has a Betta fish named Hala.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Even without the head cold I had the last few days, I feel like shit. Exhausted is an understatement and I am nauseous unless I'm eating crap food like steak and cheeses and fast food burgers which then make me feel like crap afterwards because I don't typically eat that stuff. On the plus side, however, the grease has kept me from needing Colace to poop! LOL

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? OMG I cannot WAIT for the first appointment on 5/30. I am just crossing everything that there is a heartbeat. And my mild rant is that I'm so tired of these progesterone suppositories. TMI alert: I feel like I am constantly oozing goop out of my undercarriage so I never feel clean.

QOTW: Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day? Anywhere the hell outside of Maine. It's mind-boggling how many Mainers never leave the state. Ever. Or they only go to Fenway once or twice in their lives and maybe to the outlet stores in Conway, NH. Our children WILL know that there are not only other states in the Union but also other countries in the world.

ConversationFear · May 2014

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? Sept. 2/ 25 wks

2) Age at delivery? (optional) 35

3) Any other children? Furbabies? No real babies, just 2 furbabies and a repto-baby - a 5 yo beagle, a 2 yo Basset and a 12 yo turtle.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Feeling good this week. A little heavier in the tummy than before

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? DH got to feel baby from the outside for the first time last night!

QOTW: Do you have a special place or vacation destination that you're looking forward to taking baby to some day?

I want to take him to Disney World (especially Sea World). DH went when he was 6. I have never been.So it's kind of for me AND him, lol.
