Welcome to the PgAL July 2014 Check-In!
Sorry I missed last week ladies. I was training my replacement and never had a moment alone at work and then was exhausted when I got home at night. I hope everyone is well and congrats to our ladies who now have outside Babies!!! I can't believe that it's July on Tuesday!!
This is for ladies who are pregnant after a loss and due in the month of July. Get comfy ladies! I hope we are all here for a nice long time!

Re: ~*~PgAL Check in 6/26~*~
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
37 weeks 2 days, winter melon
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I am uncomfortable, my sciatica is back and so is my heartburn. Plus it is getting very hot here and sleeping is not awesome at the moment
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
pretty good, he moves all the time. I do have still birth fears though
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
NST on tuesday, ob on Thursday another on Tuesday the 7th and then c-section on the 9th. Ahhhh!
Favorite moment of the week?
hanging with DD, I am starting to get very weepy about not being just her mommy anymore
Least favorite moment of the week?
the heat
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
I organized the hall closet this morning before I left for work
:-OGetting close @slensic! So exciting!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
36 weeks tomorrow
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Heartburn and more and more uncomfortable.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
This little guy doesn't move nearly as much as DS1 did so I have moments of near panic when I can't get him to move within a few minutes. I have more fears about late term loss this time than I did last time.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Just check-up on Monday
Favorite moment of the week?
Having my mom and niece come visit
Least favorite moment of the week?
Spending 2 1/2 hours in L&D because the MFM thought the baby's heart rate was too elevated at my growth u/s (it was fine at the hospital).
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
I was into it a few weeks ago...cleaned out and rearranged my and DS1's closets and tried to re-organize a bunch of stuff. Still have a lot I want to do but this is how I feel about it now:36 weeks, honey dew
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Really high blood pressure, carpal tunnel. I was sent to labor and delivery yesterday bc of the blood pressure. It was 160/100 average the whole time I was there. Yikes! So now I'm on blood pressure meds and early maternity leave.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Pretty terribly. My close friend had her baby and lost her on Tuesday. Short story, the placenta ruptured and baby ended up suffocating. My heart is absolutely breaking for her. and now I can't help but think about my previous loss and potentially for Brighton. I know her situation is a fluke but it is still hard.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
On the third, I will officially be full term. I'm hoping my blood pressure will be down enough at my next appt. that they won't do an emergency c-section and let her bake til she's ready.
Favorite moment of the week?
Getting to hear Brighton's heartbeat for two hours straight.
Least favorite moment of the week?
It's a tie between learning my friend lost her baby and being sent to labor and delivery.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
Oh yes. My house is spotless before I go to bed every night. Just in case. Hmmmm, the craziest thing I have done would probably be dumping all the contents of my closet into the floor and reorganizing it.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
38 Weeks, PUMPKIN!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Stretching pain that is sometimes crippling. General fatigue.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm doing okay this week.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Last appointment is Tuesday!
Favorite moment of the week?
Our replacement for the new couch that arrived damaged last time finally arrived Thursday. I can sit on the couch without tailbone pain, and I can get up from it too!! It's soooo comfy!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Monday night when I woke up with ligament stretching pain that would not let me move. I was stuck on the toilet and could not even clean myself. I had to call for help -- could hardly walk back to the bed. Once I got back in the bed though, called my OB's office, took a Tylenol, and drank some water, it subsided. Scared the crap out of me though.
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
Still in denial that the baby will be here in 10 days. I'm trying to push out my workload -- I've let my husband do all the nesting for me. He's so good at it!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
DS2 is 1 week, 2 days old
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
my gestational diabetes has gone away, but still dealing with some blood pressure issues
Favorite moment of the week?
getting to leave hospital with baby and no NICU time
Least favorite moment of the week?
this has been an amazing week
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
luckily we finished the nursery the Sunday before I was admitted to L&D
thank you @slensic for running this check-in! I will still be lurking to see how everyone is doing and can't wait to hear about your LOs:)

@slensic, thank you for running the check-in!
Saritaota614 - I'm so sorry to hear about your friend!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
35+4, coconut
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Definitely more discomfort and I've been having a few BH contractions. Nothing the past day or so, though. All in all I'm still feeling pretty good, though!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
LO is still moving around a good amount, so that really helps, but I do get a little bit crazy during his or her quiet moments....
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
OB Wednesday and every week thereafter. We also met our pediatrician last week and she seems super sweet.
Favorite moment of the week?
My family came up for a visit last weekend and installed lights in all of our closets. My favorite moment was after that was done when we had a cookout and went for ice cream!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Freaking out over the fact that our nursery isn't set up!
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
Definitely nesting. DH is nesting, too, only his version of nesting is starting a bunch of little projects around the house and not finishing them because he is also working 9872391823797 hours a week.
I cleaned out our office last Saturday - had crap in there from wedding planning over 2 years ago and I finally threw away my bridal shower cards (still hanging on to the wedding cards, though...). Then on Sunday when my DH and family were working on the house, the office got re-filled with crap!

Sorry for my sporadic posts, but my computer at work is temperamental, and I can't always post when I want to! (and who has time at home, LOL?)
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
I'm 36 weeks exactly today! I'm a honeydew!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
They're OK...reflux is a killer, and lots of potty trips!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Still have the nerves from time to time when the movement slows down for awhile, but then I feel a kick, and I'm OK again:)
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Big 36 week appt tomorrow (Thursday, the 3rd) with an 'internal' to see where the baby's at (and if I'm dilated at all), and a U/S! fun, fun!
Favorite moment of the week?
The baby's room is practically complete, and the crib, Pack 'N Play are put together, plus the other fun odds/ends!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Reflux at night...still getting sick from time to time...doesn't even matter WHAT I eat!
*~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Are you "nesting yet" if so, what's the craziest thing you have done in the name of nesting so far?
Gosh, moving all these boxes, and other belongings more than I should being I'm in my 9 month now! Constantly organizing, and doing odds/ends of the remaining unpacking we have to do since moving a month ago! Getting down to the wire!
