Sorry for the late check-in! Shout-out to @ginny5683 who's rainbow has arrived! Congrats!!!!
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 I try to pay attention to the board and get the latest update, but apologies if I missed out and I'm posting outdated info.

How are you feeling? Good for the most part. My lower back and hips are a little achy today. I have developed the PUPPs rash, so I'm kind of itchy. It isn't too bad yet, so I'm hoping it doesn't get worse. I'm getting really excited and anxious for her to come.
Upcoming appointments: 7/18
What's been going down this week? We got baby stuff ready. I washed clothes, DH got out the car seat, set up the pack and play. I think we are pretty much ready.
What's left on your list of to-dos? We washed the car seat, so I need to put that all back together, and set up our swing. Then I just want to do some cleaning, so that my house is somewhat in order for when my parents come to watch DS whenever I go into labor.

It's a girl! Baby Anna was born August 3, 2014!
How many weeks are you: 36w5d
How are you feeling (physically/emotionally): emotionally, I'm good. Today is the one year anniversary of us finding out there was a potential problem with our last pregnancy. July 29th is the actual day we found out it was not viable and I had a d&c. I'll be happy to have that day over with! Physically, I am just HOT and large. I feel for everyone else who has had to suffer through the heat of the summer while this pregnant!
Upcoming appointments or milestones: next internal is next Tuesday.
What's been going down this past week: I had my first internal and GBS test today. And this past weekend was my birthday and a tiny low key sprinkle my friend and her mom threw for me. It was so very nice!
GTKY: What's still on your list of things to get done before Baby arrives? Nursery is done and everything is washed and put away. I need to finish packing my hospital bag and dig the car seat out of storage. I also have one or two more freezer meals I'd like to make before he comes.
Pregnancy #3 after two prior losses in 2013
Feeling- physically not too bad. Normal aches and pains. Emotionally- getting very excited! RCS is exactly one month from today.
Appointments- check up next week
Past week- well I was all set for Thursday to be my last day of work but my replacement resigned today! Are you kidding me??? She started last week??? I work for a non profit that advocates for children in foster care. Apparently she couldn't handle how sad it can be. So I'll now be working until the 31st.
GTKY- order breast pump, pack my bag, install car seat. Most of the small things are done.
How many weeks are you:
35 weeks
How are you feeling (physically/emotionally):
I am feeling pretty good, lots of bathroom trips
Upcoming appointments or milestones:
36 week appointment next week
What's been going down this past week:
Lots of trips to the park and pool with DS. Soaking DS and mommy time up!
GTKY: What's still on your list of things to get done before Baby arrives?
Our master bath remodel is almost complete (finally) so hopefully that will finish this week and I can get that organized. I need to pack my hospital bag and open/sterilize my pump.
