Re: **2IF Grad Check-In**
Hope everyone has a great week!
1. How many weeks along are you? 11w2d
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Nope
3. How are you feeling lately? Still tired, seems the nausea has gone away. I still get a bit crampy, but I guess it is round ligament pain?? And lightening boob? Is that what that is called too? Sharp pains shooting through your boobs. I have that too.
4. QOTW: Do you have any plans for the nursery yet (color scheme, theme, etc)? What do you have left to do or buy? No, not yet. We are in the process of trying to move. So we won't do anything until we move. We also have not purchased anything yet. Probably wait till we move for that too.
2. Next OB appt is this coming Monday.
3. Sore legs and back at night, luckily DH is great about giving me a massage every night! He also got me a gift certificate for a prenatal massage that I can't wait to use!
4. We need to convert the room we are using as an office into the nursery - it has light green walls that DH doesn't want to paint, so I am thinking of a jungle animals theme. We haven't done anything yet!
1. How many weeks along are you? 12w2d
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Had my first OB appt on Friday, went well. She listened with the doppler and said at 11w there was no way she was going to able to hear 2 babies. She was right, we heard one heart beat of 164. She didn't seem concerned that she couldn't hear the other one, and I trust her so I am trying not to freak out. I did order a new doppler yesterday
I had to do the one hour glucose test already. My a1c was .4 points too high, irritating. I got the phone call today that my sugar was 1 point above the cut off so that means I have to take the 3 hour! Irritating. I know why she is doing it, I had GD bad with my first pregnancy but I just do not want to be on insulin this early. Insulin sucked.
3. How are you feeling lately? I feel a million times better. Like I can actually function, if only I could get this almost passing out under control.
4. QOTW: Do you have any plans for the nursery yet (color scheme, theme, etc)? What do you have left to do or buy? We also are using our office for the new nursery, so we have to figure out what to do with all that stuff and we are out of rooms lol. The only thing I have picked out so far, but not even bought, is the rocking chair. We needed a new one. I want to wait until we find out boys/girls/one of each before we even paint. I have a lot left to buy
Apparently I'm always late to the party these days. I completely forgot about the check in until today.
1. How many weeks along are you? I'm 19w6d. Exactly half-way there if this LO comes two days early like DS did.
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? I was told to not going painting the nursery yet but the tech was pretty sure baby is a girl! There was nothing concerning on the ultrasound either, so it was a great appointment aside from some uncertainty on the sex, and the tech didn't realy take or even attempt to take good shots of the baby. Maybe I have an elective ultrasound in my future, particularly given the somewhat wishy washy ruling on the potty shot. I just need to decide if I want to shell out the money for one.
3. How are you feeling lately? Good! No complaints.
4. QOTW: Do you have any plans for the nursery yet (color scheme, theme, etc)? What do you have left to do or buy? We'll be turning our spare bedroom into the nursery, and it's already painted a dusty purple color, so I don't think we'll paint it. I'm planning to do grays, purples, and yellows within the room. I think we're good on furniture, so I mostly just need to work on clearing the room out, getting DS to give up his furniture and accept his replacement furniture, and pick out some sheets, wall art, etc.
October 2011 - DS (7)
July 2014 - Stillborn DD (24 weeks)
August 2015 - DD (3)
April 2018 - 5 week loss
I have not posted here in a while, but I am always checking in on my 2IF ladies! @Mrs. Castillo, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss.
1. How many weeks along are you? Almost 38 weeks!
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? I have my weekly checkup today and am thinking they will do their first internal check. I have a c/s scheduled for Mon, 6/16 and am hoping this little guy will stay on the inside until then.
3. How are you feeling lately? Huge, achy, tons of pelvic pressure, and my morning sickness has returned.
4. QOTW: Do you have any plans for the nursery yet (color scheme, theme, etc)? What do you have left to do or buy? We hung the artwork above the crib last night, and we are officially done until LO arrives. We did a navy and light blue cars theme with red accents. Other than desperately needing to clean our house, we are all ready for baby boy to arrive!
