How many weeks/days are you: 24 weeks, 5 days!
Upcoming appointments: have to schedule the glucose test for about a week from now. Thanks for the reminder lol!
How are you feeling/rants/raves: Emotionally I'm doing great right now. Have had some stress from people who are trying to do nice things for us. Part of why we aren't having a shower is that my (old fashioned, very superstitious) family thinks they are a jinx. I know rationally that's not right but given my history I'm not going to challenge it. Anyway, hubby's family is mad that there isn't a shower, and it is constantly bubbling up as an issue.
Movement Update: more an more consistent! Flutters started at 18/19 weeks, real kicks at 23/24, and now I can tell the difference between kicks and flips
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): two day work week (Memorial Day & two days for Ascension Thursday)
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Leg cramps are vicious. Need more water!
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? Hmmmm. I am relishing every second so I'll say I'm most looking forward to more of this less worried, calm feeling.
How many weeks/days are you: 23w4d
Upcoming appointments: I was supposed to have one next week, but they bumped it up to this week because I was having some swelling, etc.
How are you feeling/rants/raves: My back has been killing me - and it is actually swollen by my tailbone. I went to the doctor on Tuesday, and she said she thinks I'm retaining water. I also had blood in my urine, so they were sending that out for a culture. I should hear either today or tomorrow if I have a UTI.
Movement Update: I have an anterior placenta, so there are some days I don't feel much. But, I am definitely feeling him a lot higher up than I had been, and this morning I was able to distinguish his kicks from his punches. Pretty cool.
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Feeling him move and shake.
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Stress from not knowing if I have an infection or not...trying to cope with the back pain.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? I start summer break in 2 weeks, so I'm definitely excited to just hang with my little man this summer. I am also excited for my shower in August!
BFP #1 : 3/20/13 | EDD: 12/1/13 | MC: 4/15/13
BFP #2: 1/9/14 | EDD: 9/21/14
Welcomed our rainbow bear on 8/31/14
My Chart | All are Welcome
Upcoming appointments: Next one is 6/19 my glucose text and 28 week appt same day
How are you feeling/rants/raves: I am feeling good!
Movement Update: Little one like to kick everyday I love seeing the movement from the outside but some days when she us not as active gets me nervous but I know she is fine
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Seeing her on another u/s you could see she has hair!
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): My car accident on Friday and having to stay the night in L&D that scare was not what I needed or wanted but thankfully she is doing very well!
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? I can not believe how close we are! I am looking forward to everything but just so ready to see her, hold her, and love on her!
Married DH 3/14/09
TTC Since Jan 2011
Diagnosed with PCOS Jan 2013
BFP#1 June 2013/ EDD 2/23/2013 Blighted Ovum confirmed July 18, 2013

Rebecca Ann born 8/31/2014 6lb 1oz 19 inches long 8:55am!!!!
Upcoming appointments: Monday 24 week appotinment
How are you feeling/rants/raves: Lots of back pain, I get out of breath quickly and can't sleep well
Movement Update: I feel her constantly, except if I put my hand on my belly to feel it she stops
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): The nice weather we have been having so I have been taking DS to the park, its nice to get outside!
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): DH waking my up every few hours bc he is snoring so loudly
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? moving into our new house and getting her nursery ready and painting, finally not renting anymore so we can have something other than white walls!!!!
How many weeks/days are you: 22w3d
Upcoming appointments: June 11th for our 24 week apt.
How are you feeling/rants/raves: My Sciatic Nerve pain is driving me insane and I am having a hard time sleeping -- but other than that I really have little complaints the past week. LO is playing trampoline with my bladder and cervix which is zero fun at all but nothing painful.
Movement Update: Still think I am only feel flutters but I honestly can't really tell the difference between her flutters and my guts moving. Ugh. I'm still frustrated as I really want to really feel her already. :-(
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): My husband finally had last weekend off. After clocking over 35 hours of OT on top of his straight time in the last two weeks, it was nice to have a few days where I actually got to spend time with him.
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): I want to keep this generic but I feel horrible for my husband and his job related stuff. It's really biting him in the ass that he isn't part of the "cool" crowd at work who all drink obsessively and find it cool to cheat on their spouses -- and even though he is 100% okay with not being part of that crowd I personally feel bad that it is effecting him like it is.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy?: Feeling my LO move! Right now that's my goal. Other than that -- it is to finally meet this little girl!
Married: August 2012
DD: 9/22/2014

Movement Update: My boy loves (or really hates) Katy Perry, especially the "Birthday" song. Whenever it comes on he starts dancing around!
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): I'll hit 99 days to go this week and that is pretty exciting!
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): I got really sunburnt over the weekend, so my skin being more sensitive is a bummer.

Swimming!!
Please add me to the list @MMason12 so that I am tagged (due date 09/06), thanks
How many weeks/days are you: 25w5d
Upcoming appointments: Just had an appointment on tuesday with obstetrician, all measured well
How are you feeling/rants/raves: The past few weeks I've had some groin and back pain, but I believe the culprit was not doing my daily yoga; I'm back into it and already feel better. Hopefully it won't get too bad.
Movement Update: She seems to be less active than say last week, but it might just be me getting used to her tumbling around
at least I can get a reaction pretty much instantly when I "poke" at her! So much fun.
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): A few coworkers (mums of course) told me how great I looked
I might not feel/look so great in the summer heat, so I'll take it!
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Having to tell my cousin (from my mother's side) that I do not want a full-blown baby shower... losing my mother is still too raw for me, and the thought of being surrounded by her siblings and relatives, all eyes on me, made me anxious and sad. I felt awful but she totally understood, and will be bringing her kids and my aunt down for a day to visit dad & I as a compromise.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? My body being in a bikini and some form of water, whether it's the beach or the kiddie pool we plan to buy and put on the deck
the weather just needs to get nicer...
Also, the little shindig/shower my bestie is hosting for me!
Hope the rest of the week goes well for everyone!

Upcoming appointments: Not until June 10th
How are you feeling/rants/raves: Feeling better just tired
Movement Update: Feeling the baby a lot, DH is feeling kicks now too!
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): DS kissing my belly saying goodnight to baby Logan
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Drama with our neighbors, I love our house the development, where I live is wonderful except for our immediate neighbors.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? I think it would have to be people other than me feeling the movements.

- Came home yesterday to a painted bathroom courtesy of SO! Love that I don't have to do it now.
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not):
- Had a swelling/clot scare on Saturday. Turned out to be nothing, but it was not fun.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy?
- Swimming! Also, finishing his room. AWing pics like I said I would. Trim, doors, and floor still need to be done, but I love the color. That paneling is everywhere, so I'm loving the brightness.

Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow just to check in before moving, and to find out about my glucose results.

Best thing this week: Short work week this week and next.
Worst thing this week: (TW: loss, crib death) We got back from our trip to learn that DH's coworker's 4 month old son suffocated on a blanket in his crib on Monday night. They took him off of life support yesterday and are now facing an abuse investigation.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? Getting a big cute belly & feeling more movement. For DH to get excited. I'm trying to get him more involved so I asked him to research travel systems because all the options make my eyes glaze over in about 2.5 seconds.
Jan 18 December Siggy Challenge: Christmas Movies

GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? I can't wait for my showers and to set up her nursery! Also, like many of the rest of you... I can't wait to get my poor bloated body in a pool! I might just live in the pool this summer.

How are you feeling/rants/raves: Really good!
Movement Update: Lots of movement! I love that DH can really feel big movements now.
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Sitting on our patio Sunday while DS played in the yard and feeling really content.
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Sunday is my first DS's anniversary/birthday (23w6d preterm labour, maternal hemorrhage, emergency c/s, baby passed away shortly after birth) and I have the exact same due date this pregnancy. This is always a hard time for me emotionally but it's sort of freaking me out with this pregnancy. I just keep telling myself that I just have to make it until Monday, then I can chill out. DH and I have been trying to keep busy so my mind can't wander too much...
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? I love feeling baby move and seeing my belly grow! I hope I can really enjoy my time with DS before baby comes
@MMason12 I work in an industry where cheating on your spouse is common and not well hid. It was so depressing for me the first couple of years until I realized that I didn't have to let it affect me. It's not my choice but I'm not invested enough in these people to have it impact me. It still makes me sad sometimes but I let it go. I still have to interact with these people but I don't really engage in their conversations if I don't like them. Hopefully your DH can find some peace with it, it's a hard thing to navigate when it's with coworkers
How many weeks/days are you: 23w2d
Upcoming appointments: Glucose test on Monday and 24 week check up next Thursday
How are you feeling/rants/raves: Feeling good! My only complaint is swelling in my hands and feet. Finally slept well last night after four awful nights, it was awesome!
Movement Update: Lots of movement, and it's starting to get more consistent. DH has felt baby twice now, but of course baby didn't do big movements while dad was trying to feel.
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): We painted the nursery this week, yay!
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Allergies, they are driving me nuts daily now a days.
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? Viability! So happy that my pregnancy has been pretty easy going up until now, I hope things continue that way for the most part.
How many weeks/days are you: 22w2d
Upcoming appointments: June 10, just a regular quick appt
How are you feeling/rants/raves: feeling pretty great aside from my new huge boobs hurting my back
Movement Update: this kid never stops moving! I can't complain :-)
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): having a short work week
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not):
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? Our 3d 4d sonogram in August, also baby shower in August! Yay
Married: August 2012
DD: 9/22/2014
How many weeks/days are you: 26 weeks/2 days
Upcoming appointments: I did the gd test today so I am awaiting the results
How are you feeling/rants/raves: Great. I am nervous since I had GD last time I am worried it will happen again.
Movement Update: Baby moves all the time. I think he/she is breech right now (not that it really matters) because I flutters at the top and big kicks at the bottom.
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): Cooler weather is back. I am not looking forward to summer.
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): We are trying to switch car insurance because it looks like I can save money but they really do make it impossible!
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy? I think everything. This may be our last so I am trying to enjoy it.
Upcoming appointments:
Tomorrow US
How are you feeling/rants/raves:
Nervous... They found a chorionic plexus cyst on her brain, which can be a marker for Trisomy 18. It brings my odds from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 5,000. I realize this is still an incredibly unlikely scenario, but I can't help but worry until my materniti21 test results come back in a week. I have to go back tomorrow for another US because yesterday she wouldn't show them her heart or one of her hands.
Movement Update:
Quite a mover! I love it...so reassuring
Best thing this week (pregnancy related or not): started putting together the nursery
Worst thing this week (pregnancy related or not): see above
GTKY: What are you ladies looking forward to the most for the rest of your pregnancy?
Peace and health and floating in the ocean!
