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.
New ladies - Please introduce yourself and let me know your EDD so I can start tallying them up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@RedMar / June 10th – Yay for a good prenatal massage. Baby M is so stinkin’ cute! I hate that you are having stillbirth fears. I’ve been fearing this for months now, it sucks. I haven’t experienced excessive fluid but there are a few ladies on the PAL board that I believe have.

What do you still have left to prep? Nothing....we are ready.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, the BH contractions have been crazy lately. I keep thinking LO is going to arrive any day but then I wake up pregnant again the next day.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Yup! If she doesn't decide to come this weekend I go in for an induction on Monday evening. I had to be induced with DD#1 also so I'm not too worried about that part but still anxious that all will go well and we'll bring her home.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm more worried now that something will go wrong and we won't be bringing LO home with us. I hate being PGAL and not naive.
Any baby awesomeness this week? She's finally moving more again and easing my mind.

Team / Name? Blue..still undecided with a name
What do you still have left to prep? Car seat needs to be installed. Some cloth diapers need washing. Other than that...we are ready! Crazy!

Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Just had my 38 week appt and little man seems to be happy in there. We will assess again next week. But all looks good nonetheless.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I want to be a natural birth, but fear about my pain tolerance (or lack there of). Can't believe I have to do it soon..eek!
Any baby awesomeness this week? He's still an active one and I love watching him move and groove in there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do you still have left to prep? Car seat installation. My DHs father is throwing us a diaper party tomorrow so we'll have those to put away/organize. Other than that everything is under control!
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Feeling pretty good thanks. Trying to keep the worries of excessive amnio fluid at bay and being positive that there's only a couple more weeks left! Thanks @kimmyberly26 for the support. I'm praying your induction goes well!! Is it this monday or next???
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Normal check up this Tuesday.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I had a dream we took a vacay to Cali and left the baby home alone. Hope we can do better than that when the time comes!
Any baby awesomeness this week? We are in position and ready for landing!! Hopefully will drop more soon as I'm still pretty high up.

Team / Name? Blue Alex
What do you still have left to prep? We have a lot left to do still need to paint baby room and move the crib in and get some stuff from my aunt that I let my her use when her daughter was up. I am sure there is some stuff I am for getting but can't think of anything else right know.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I am feeling a little pretty good. Still getting cramps in my leg. Emotionally I have my ups and down some days I feel like I could cry all the time and other days I am fine.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? June 2nd is my next appointment and I will have a sonogram to make sure Alex is still facing down and then hooked up to the monitor and checked. It will be a long appointment.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add?
Any baby awesomeness this week? Not really other then that he has been kicking up a storm. I feel he will come out kicking.How far along are you? 36 weeks today
Team / Name? Green- I think we finally agreed on first names
What do you still have left to prep? I've got a little list going but it's more like things to do around the house rather than baby stuff
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, my heartburn has been pretty intense and I've had to up my Pepcid dose to keep it in check. Otherwise loving my bump popping out! Emotionally, this week was difficult because May 22 was the due date for the baby I lost in September. It just brought up all my PgAL fears again too.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I have my 36 week appointment on Wednesday which starts my weekly visits. I'll get my first cervical check as well. I'm interested to see if anything has starting happening...
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? As a NICU nurse I'm always worried because I know that things can go wrong no matter how far along the baby is. I'm just praying that LO will be ok no matter what.
Any baby awesomeness this week? Baby was super active yesterday and I just love feeling it move!

Since I'm due towards the end of June, I'd really like it keep the check in going for those of us that still have a while left. If no one else volunteers I'd be willing to post the check in. I'm already starting to feel left out with all these little ones arriving and knowing that I probably have 4-5 weeks left! It'd be nice to have some support in the last few weeks.

How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I feel great! Maternity photos were fun. I saw one preview and can't wait to see the rest.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? LO slept through the u/s on Monday with her hand near her face. Therefore, we couldn't get a good pic of her face. However, all the important parts went well.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm finally starting to feel ready. However, I want LO to hold on until her EDD.
Any baby awesomeness this week? DH had a pregnancy dream last night that he lost the baby in a plate of food. This is hilarious to me.

What do you still have left to prep? A lot! We started this week finally. We have the crib and stroller from my BIL and SIL (stokke and bugaboo... fancy lol) Just ordered a few things online last night (udder cover, car seat cover and nursing pillow using my motherhood maternity gift cards and a green canopy for the stroller, car seat adaptor and my favorite... Wait for it... The tokidoki jujube fairytella bff baby bag yay!) going to buy some baby clothes today. Family are going to get the rest (car seat, pack and play, etc)
How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
Getting excited for the baby's stuff means it's getting closer! So many doc appts though, from running to the ob to my chiro to the sono place I'm so tired
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?
Had a nst and biophysical profile yesterday and they went perfectly so that's good.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add?
Feeling a little crampy today
I have this weird thing my entire pregnancy with the baby not being a boy. They only said it was a boy once at the 20 week ultrasound and never confirmed at a later sono. Also I am keeping all the receipts and being really weird about my purchases. I was like this with both of my girls, my PGAL brain feels like nothing is guaranteed until baby is home safe with me! So trying to just be excited and not focus on that.
Any baby awesomeness this week?
Finally 37 weeks... Almost there!!

Yay @kimmyberly26 for your induction on Monday!!! Thank you for doing these check ins it's my fav part of the BMB. Hopefully someone will
continue them, I'm down for whatever so just let me know where we're
moving the party
The blood work form the hospital came back fine and my OB gave me no real answers on the itching. He pretty much said I can take benadryl or use anti itch lotion but I'm doomed to be itchy. He saw no point in doing additional blood work to check up on my bile salts or anything. I'm glad nothing is wrong but I really was hoping for an answer.

What do you still have left to prep? in my apartment I have a swing, a week of clothes and carseat. At our new place we have a crib. Aside from that we are 100% not prepared. Shower is next weekend so I can finally scramble to get some things together after.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I'm getting BH and some random contractions, of course nothing productive or timeable. Constantly have period like cramps for the past week. His head is low and he's been punching the crap out of my bladder. I'm just ready for the next 4 weeks to be over so I can hold him.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I've got a check up on Tuesday.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I'm terrified I won't know my water broke.
Any baby awesomeness this week? He's still wiggling like crazy which makes me a happy momma.

Team / Name? Pink
What do you still have left to prep? Get my house cleaned up and get a few more things set up. Also, working on getting ready to move soon.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I'm really exhausted and feeling crappy about complaining about it to DH. It has been an extremely stressful week and I am trying to just relax and not worry so much......that's easier said than done though.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Had my last appt. on Friday and baby will be here Thursday. I seem to be more nervous about the actual c-section this time than I was when I was induced and ended up with a c-section with DS.
Any baby awesomeness this week? I am just loving feeling her move and enjoying her being in my belly for a few more days.

Sounds like a good idea, but I'm sure that I will have a hard time keeping up. We have a lot of crazy stuff going on this summer with the baby and moving etc.

What do you still have left to prep? Still everything... DH just hurt his shoulder too (@ work none the less), so I guess the bare minimum will have to do.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Varies from day to day... Carpal Tunnel is the devil and I hope it goes away right after birth. I also got an exercise ball this week and it is AMAZING!
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I've been going every Wednesday and have one this week. Baby girl's head is 'right there' but no progress. Dr said to not expect a small 5lb baby because I'm measuring 1.5 weeks ahead. Monster baby, lol! I wasn't too surprised because big babies run in my family. The dr seemed surprised that I wasn't having any contractions yet... but I still have time
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? I still can't picture her here... I've wanted to be a mom my whole life and now that it could be any time, the weight of responsibility is HUGE. Denial island is my paradise right now, lol!
Any baby awesomeness this week? No

@MollySm / June 20th (Viviana)– How far have you been able to get on the nursery? When you put the clothes out in the sun, do you put them out wet or dry? I need to try this. How do you keep the birds from pooping on them? J
Well, I haven't had much luck with this plan. I put them out wet, but unfortunately, despite the fact that it is always sunny here, I forgot that May/June are the cloudiest months of the year. The one day I had them out, the clouds kept moving. I kept having to go out and move them, and since the first day it's been just too cloudy to bother. I think the stains got a little lighter in that time, but it's hard to tell. I needed more time just in direct sun. I guess I'll switch to Oxyclean next, but I had really hoped to do it without! I'll let you know if I have any luck. I didn't have any problems with birds while they were out there, but I did read somewhere that people have had luck even just in a sunny place inside, which would solve the potential bird problem

What do you still have left to prep? The room is coming along. I ordered some stuff from Amazon the other day. H and I have to sit down this weekend and make a final list of the rest of the decorational stuff, and order that from Amazon. I'm feeling like we're getting closer to being done!
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Everything aches. And I'm grouchy. I hate being so easily annoyed, but I haven't figured out how to make it stop! I hope the little one stays in there for 4 more weeks, and is big and strong, but I'd like it to be late June already!
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I had an appointment on Friday. Viv looks good, and is still head down, but her head is still above my pubic bone so it seems like all the contractions I've been having haven't been productive. Which is great as it's still too early.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Right now I'm too exhausted to be afraid of much.
Any baby awesomeness this week? I'm just so happy she still seems to be doing well in there, and I'm so excited for June to get here!

What do you still have left to prep? Get a crib mattress, waiting for glider to be delivered, hang blinds, setup bassinet and pack DS's suitcase for grandma's house.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Nervous, dr. Keeps saying any day now and I still don't feel ready. Plus, today I have been very crampy. Not sure what that means.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Last appointment was Friday. .5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Next appointment isn't for two weeks since my dr. Office is moving.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Had to do an NST Friday b/c LO has stopped wiggling as much. Thankfully he passed but now I keep stressing about his movements.
Any baby awesomeness this week? Found out he has a lot of fluid around him which is great news! With my first they had to induce me because his fluid was so low. Looks like we don 't have that problem this time.

QOTW – Our weekly check-ins are coming to an end. I know that many ladies including myself aren’t extremely active on the board but are on this post. Do we want to continue weekly check-ins or maybe create a social group to keep in touch with each other?
I'm fine with
How far along are you? 37 weeks, 3 days
Team / Name? Pink / Lorna
What do you still have left to prep? Most everything is done now! Have to throw a few things in the labor bag and maybe (if I get around to it) make some freezer meals. But otherwise, things are good :-)
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically, tired and sore. Emotionally feeling good to be term and ready for baby to make an appearance whenever she's ready.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? My 38 week appointment is next Tuesday. Hope that the BP is still good. At the last few appointments, it's been elevated the first time they took it, but dropped to normal when they measured it again at the end of the appointment. I'm not sure if this is because I'm nervous about getting PreE again or because my BP is becoming more labile.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Nothing specific
Any baby awesomeness this week? So much movement. I can't wait to see her on the outside.

I really enjoy this weekly check-in. Will it at least continue until we all have our babies?
BFP#2: EDD 2/11/14, MMC confirmed 7/15/13 (growth stopped at 6 weeks), D&C @ 12 weeks 7/25/13
How far along are you? 36w3d
Team / Name? Pink, Camryn
What do you still have left to prep? Just washing up a few more items, then when labor starts install car seat (we did a dry run last weekend) and put the last minute items in the hospital bag
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Baby is at -1 station so feeling lots of pressure, waddling and moving slow. But overall much better than I expected. Emotionally I am dying to meet this little girl. A little scared about birth.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Ultrasound this past week showed she is 5 lbs 15 oz, looking like she is going to be long and skinny.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Not really, just overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation.
Any baby awesomeness this week? She is far head down, butt up on my left side, and her feet keep poking my right side. I will miss feeling her move once she is on the outside!

Hi Ladies, been MIA this past week, suffering with a brutal cold that is honestly driving me nuts
hopefully I will be over it soon.
How far along are you? 35 weeks 4 days
Team / Name? Pink, Aria Jill Rosemary
What do you still have left to prep?
Quite a bit actually, I am a bit of a procrastinator. Baby Laundry to do, pickup some NB diapers and load up the dresser etc. Also still waiting on some replacement screws so we can finish assembling the crib but the bassinet is all ready. Need to get my hospital bag ready too but I know what I need to be in there so not feeling to anxious about it. I will be done working at 38 weeks and I hope to have everything ready or close by then
How are you feeling physically/emotionally?
Physically exhausted, tired of being sick with this cold and ready to be done being pregnant, its been a rollercoaster. Emotionally not bad, been missing my mom a great deal lately so that has been getting harder the closer we get to meeting our little lady.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share?
36 week check up on Wednesday, group B strep swab and hopefully everything is still looking good. At last check they weren't sure if baby was still head down so maybe another ultrasound order if they still can't tell.
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add?
Starting to have anxiety about labour and recovery, but nothing I can't handle
Any baby awesomeness this week?
lots of strong movements, sometimes even painful and uncomfortable especially low kicks and punches to the bladder and cervix area, ouchie.

I would love to keep the weekly check going, its a nice way to keep in touch and voice fears and excited feelings. Thanks for doing it @kimmyberly26
Thought of the Week - As we all start having our babies and approach our due dates, please keep our loss ladies in your thoughts. We all know how hard it is to approach an EDD. Hugs to all of them if any of them are lurking.
Hugs to all the loss ladies out there, I am sure some of you are lurking. I had my EDD for my previous loss back in February and it was a hard day even though I was so very grateful to be expecting again and having a successful pregnancy. Its never an easy time.

What do you still have left to prep? Nothing to do but have this baby
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically my body hurts
and I cannot fall asleep anymore because I am afraid I will have a nightmare. Emotionally I am just a nervous wreck that my induction date is right around the corner. 
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? I will have my last BPP this Thursday...My last offical appointment will be next tuesday that will determine if I go in Tuesday night or Wednesday morning for the start of the induction.
Any baby awesomeness this week? I cannot wait until I have this LO in my arms!! I keep sitting in his room day dreaming of what it will be like to finally have our little family complete.
I always seem to be late on these things! Oh, well.
How far along are you? 36 w 4 d
Team / Name? Boy
What do you still have left to prep? Pack my bag, get out newborn clothes, and a bunch of random errands I want to get done before baby (car stuff, eye doctor, etc)
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Pretty good. Very pregnant, but that's a good thing.
Any updates or appointments coming up you'd like to share? Had my GBS test today - hoping it's negative so no IV is necessary! We are touring a hospital tomorrow and will make our final decision about where we're going to go. The baby seems to be head down - hooray!
Any PgAL crazy/labor fears/parenting fear you want to add? Labor-wise, just worried about how everything's going to go. I am worried my wishes won't be respected, that I'll have unnecessary interventions, etc etc.
Any baby awesomeness this week? Being head down is pretty awesome.
