Wednesday Check In

How are you doing today? Do you have anything to rant or rave about?

Do you keep in touch with extended family? To what extent? Do you go to family reunions or just like the occasional FB post?

    I'm 28 weeks today and for some reason I feel like that's a special milestone. I don't know why. I'm feeling pretty good. It's getting hard to roll over in bed. The muscles on the sides of my stomach ache when I do. I call it my 75 point turn.

    I keep in touch with extended family but not very much. Mainly on Facebook. We only get together for weddings or funerals.

    Trying to stay awake.  Bleh.  My leg is nicely skinned from my fall this morning.  I am in serious need of chocolate!  Today is 28 weeks for me too, @BreandMikewedding!  So close.  :)

    I keep up with most of my family on my dad's side through facebook.  They mostly live in Texas so I don't really get to see them.  My mom's extended family is made up of a bunch of people I don't really care for. So I don't do much to keep in contact with them.

    How are you doing today? Do you have anything to rant or rave about?  The evil pregnant insomnia made a return appearance last night.  Didn't get to sleep until after 1 am and then woke at 3 and 5 to go to the bathroom. I think unisom will be my friend tonight. 

    Do you keep in touch with extended family? To what extent? Do you go to family reunions or just like the occasional FB post?  I mainly keep in touch on Facebook.  Most of also get together for major family events (weddings and funerals) and now with three of us having LOs (or will soon in my case), we are all hoping to get together annually for the babies to get to know each other (at least on my side).  DH's extended family mostly live local and we see them on occasion (we don't have any issues with the extended family, unlike with DH's parents).  I think we will see them more often once Schroeder arrives.

    Doing ok today after spending most of Tuesday night in L&D..... I was having contractions, and my cervix length had shortened.  Thankfully, not going into pre-term labor, but it was a little scary. The thought of delivering our little one this early was scary. Hopefully no more contractions until much later!

    Mostly Facebook, My husband and I do attend his family reunions and we see his family often. His family isn't huge so it is a little easier.  My side of the family is different, and a little difficult to keep up since we don't really have family reunions.

    Ugh...well yesterday I got contractions a lot and was crampy, a couple cups of water and walking it out helped. Looks like light duty is in my future for work (I was only on my feet for an hour). Nothing so far today. Next appt is Tuesday. However I'm supposed to work all weekend not sure if this is going to work out. 


    Kind of, we do holidays together or major family events. Facebook helps a lot.

    I am 31 weeks today! I am absolutely miserable. Can't sleep, having trouble breathing, and my feet and ankles are swelling. I have been off work all summer and am dreading starting back to work. I go back a week from today. I will be at work for 8 weeks before my EDD.
    I keep in contact with extended family mainly through FB and weddings and funerals. My Dad just passes away on July 14 so I got to see a lot of my extended family then. It is sad that is the only time we all get together.

    I'm sitting here during hour 2 of my glucose test having failed the first one. I am pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my crotch that hurts when I walk and roll over. My ankles are the sizes of my knees. And I am so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. Other than all of that I feel ok.

    As for family I have been very lucky and say everyone at my cousins wedding and again and our baby shower. We have a Facebook group chat we use to keep up on everyone.

    Do you keep in touch with extended family? To what extent? Do you go to family reunions or just like the occasional FB post?  On my mom's side, I keep up with aunts/uncles/cousins often and we see each other on a regular basis.  Everyone else it's mostly through Facebook and the occasional reunion.
