Welcome to the August ‘14 PgAL Check-In!
This is a weekly check-in for women who are due in the month of August (or thereabouts) and have suffered a previous pregnancy loss. Being pregnant after a loss can produce a mix of emotions. This check-in is intended to provide support while we make our way through each trimester.
If your EDD has changed, please let me know. I try to pay attention to the board and get the latest update, but apologies if I missed out and I'm posting outdated info.

It's a girl! Baby Anna was born August 3, 2014!
Baby Girl born 7/9/2014 at 34.5wks
How are you feeling (physically/emotionally): I've been feeling a little bit better. Yoga seems to be helping with my back issues, but I definitely have a decreased appetite. It reminds me a bit of 1st tri where I'm hungry, but nothing sounds good.
Upcoming appointments or milestones: Nothing this week. Growth scan 6/17 and OB 6/18
What's been going down this past week: It was a tough week personally. I made a tough decision to report some unethical things at work that involved a close friend. While I don't think there will be any serious repercussions for her, she's not really speaking to me. I DID make some good progress on the nursery over the weekend though, and it's starting to look so cute. I can't wait until it's all done! My OB appointment last week went well. Baby is head down and my belly was measuring at 32, which I think is a little ahead since my understanding is that the measurement should match your actual week count (although I didn't really ask). Granted this is my second baby, but because of the umbilical cord diagnosis, there are concerns about her size. We've got the growth scan next week, but my belly measurements made me think she's growing well -- I hope that's the case!
GTKY: What are your Father's Day plans? No plans really since H is working, and his shifts are 24 hours long (firefighter/paramedic). I'll have a card for him and maybe try to do his favorite dinner on Monday, but we try to keep it simple/inexpensive for these kinds of "holidays."
How are you feeling (physically/emotionally): I'm tired. Mentally, emotionally & physically.
Upcoming appointments or milestones: we have an hospital appointment tomorrow in a 3rd level hospital.. I decided to pursue having this appointment since the hospital we go to only has 2nd level facilities and also because my dr has gotten me on my last nerve, he has not given importance to my GD, my thyroid results, my hair :'-( , and my anemia.. Everything for him is normal and if it weren't for my endocrinologist I would have gone crazy.. But still I want to have a second opinion on my babies' well being..
What's been going down this past week: we had a Drs appointment, babies looked ok, but it was a speedy appt so we were more time on the waiting room than inside the consult.. Will know more tomorrow..
GTKY: What are your Father's Day plans? This is our first baby so my H is not officially a dad yet.. He will be away on business so nothing much really.. I will acknowledge the day somehow anyway..
Feeling- pretty good. "Normal" aches and pains.
This week- 30 week appt Thursday.
Past week- got results of my GD test and thankfully I passed! So relieved! My mom and I went saw Bruno Mars Saturday. So fun! Nursery nearly done.
GTKY- I caved and gave MH his gift weeks ago. I'll cook a big breakfast for him. Then my husband and son will be spending the day with my FIL. We'll celebrate with my dad at the end of the month.
How many weeks are you: 30 weeks today!
How are you feeling (physically/emotionally):
I am feeling well on both counts, my hips get a little sore and I do get out of breath from carrying DS up or down stairs but nothing too big. Starting to get a little emotional about how fast this pregnancy has gone by!!!
Upcoming appointments or milestones:
32 week appt. My doctor doesn't do a 30 week
What's been going down this past week:
Croup with DS-thank goodness he is better!!!!
GTKY: What are your Father's Day plans? We will probably take DS to the zoo or the botanical gardens for the day.
Have a great week ladies!

Pregnancy #3 after two prior losses in 2013
@mdarmetko- The appointment went well. If we could only get LO to move so they can get a good ultrasound of him. They have yet to get any good ultrasounds of him. I guess he is just camera shy.

MMC discovered on 9/18/13 @ 10w, baby measuring 9w. D&C on 9/26/13

Upcoming appointments or milestones: appt on Tuesday
What's been going down this past week: dd has been in camp Tuesday trough Friday mornings, which has been glorious! Tomorrow is her last day, so I will have to try to think of stuff I can do with her that doesn't involve me roasting outside.
GTKY: What are your Father's Day plans? We will have my family over for a BBQ. Nothing too exciting!
