***FYI*** I have to go to a conference for work next week and probably won't have access to a computer on Tuesday so the check-in next week will just be an informal check-in from my phone. I doubt I'll be able to tag everyone so just keep an eye out for it!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 27 weeks, rutabaga
How are you feeling? Pretty good, but the belly is big enough now that it definitely gets in the way of things and makes movement challenging!
Favorite moment of the week? Baby got his or her first gift yesterday from one of my friends!
Least favorite moment of the week? I'm starting to have more lazy than productive days, Sunday was one of those days and I always feel guilty after for not getting more done.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Same, some heartburn and assorted aches/pains, nothing bad.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I have an appointment Friday and have to do my glucose tolerance test. My dr is also checking to make sure I'm cleared to fly next week. I'm nervous about going into preterm labor while I'm in another state, and also (irrationally) afraid of being in the same city as the 2 ebola patients. Any spare T&Ps for a good appointment, passing the glucose test, and an uneventful trip next week would be great :-)
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Friday glucose test.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
24 weeks, cantaloupe, V-Day!!!!!!
How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good this week!
Favorite moment of the week?
We went sailing with my ILs. We took the puppy and although I was super nervous about how she would do sailing all day with no time off the boat, she was a champ! And super cute! Below she's modeling her sweet new life jacket!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Sleeping on the boat with 6 adults and 2 dogs. It was just really cramped and not at all fun. My FIL snores like a banshee so nobody slept (well, except my FIL).
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm actually feeling quite a bit better this week. My back doesn't hurt as bad which makes everything feel better.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Feeling good this week! Tiny Tuna is getting quite strong so it helps a lot that I can feel her say hello with her thumps at different points during the day.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I have an appointment on Monday, but it shouldn't be too exciting - just a quick measure and check-in.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
6 weeks
Still not much nausea, just waves here and there. Still tired and moody!
We had a great time with my IL's during their visit. DD enjoyed every second and it was great to see her loving being the center of attention!
My MIL's perfume was the worst part of my week
Symptoms seem to be staying about the same. Although my boobs hurt worse every time I take my bra off!
PGAL brain has been bad this week. I feel like a pendulum swings and one minute I feel happy and positive and the next I'm wondering if I should tell me boss I may not be in Thursday because of tomorrow's u/s. Any T&P's or vibes you could spare for tomorrow's u/s would be greatly appreciated.
Sushi is my favorite not pregnant and it seems that all the carbs are my favorite pregnant.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 21 weeks - pomegranate!
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? Still Team Green, but pretty sure from the A/S that we're headed for bows, not bros.
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good! Huge, but good
Favorite moment of the week? A/S was definitely the highlight but had a good day with DS yesterday. With the summer and the move, it's been hard on him transitioning from his dad's house to ours, so having a whole good day is a blessing!
Least favorite moment of the week? I really wish I hadn't seen the goods during the A/S. I know I don't have confirmation from the tech, but SO was disappointed that I saw.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Sore hips, allergies, and belly is stretching. Our big baby is getting bigger!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Doing pretty well now that baby is kicking all the time.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next appt is the 25th and V day is 3 weeks away!
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
22 weeks. Papaya?
How are you feeling? Mostly good.
Favorite moment of the week?
Little thumper kicked hard enough for her daddy to feel for the first time. So wonderful! He teared up. And he's been painting her nursery - I can tell he's feeling more connected to her.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Spending an hour with the awful Office Depot copy & print site. Boo! I am definitely not excited about the new semester starting in two weeks. The only good part (besides paycheck!) is I think it'll make the time fly by til LO arrives.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Doing pretty well. Baby girl looked a-ok in the follow up to our a/s, and I'm getting so excited to meet her in just 18 weeks!
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*
What's your favorite food when not pregnant? During pregnancy?
Fav food = bacon wrapped dates. Yum!
@meagpt22 ugh that test sounds like it was awful. Hope the plan for next steps isn't too terrible!
@haleyusf sorry pregnancy is stealing your love of fruits and veggies. Fruit tastes amazing right now, but it was on my barf list for a long time. Did you hate f & v during your first pregnancy?
@MrsTuna08 hooray for v day!!! And ice cream. What's your go to flavor? And one more weird question: when you stay overnight on a boat with dogs, where do they do their business?
@co baby1 good luck tomorrow!!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 6 weeks/sweet pea
How are you feeling? bloated, exhausted, sore boobs, occasional headaches and RLP
Favorite moment of the week? an hour long trail ride with a friend
Least favorite moment of the week? whenever DD is super crabby during the day
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? The same for the most part. Very slight nausea a couple times since last night.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Just trying to be patient for next week's appt and hoping for a good heartbeat!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? First appt on 13 Aug
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
16 weeks an avocado
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!)
The wait is killing me lol
How are you feeling?
Much better!
Favorite moment of the week?
I felt the baby move yesterday!!! And I had a wonderful date night with my DH this weekend.
Least favorite moment of the week?
I called to set up my A/S and I found out they won't do it early they only do it at 20 weeks! Grrr
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Still very sleepy but all the rest is better
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Better For the most part seeing how excited my DH is so excited he is buying things that I can't see till after November so that really helps.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
September 4th (milestone) and August 25th
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
Inspired by my recent consignment shopping: What's your favorite food when not pregnant? During pregnancy?
right now... Frozen pizza is amazing! And before I was pretty happy with almost everything
@rox825 my PgAL brain is better and I have a bit a month till I pass my milestone but I feel like it's all gonna work out this time!
Thank you for asking!
Yes, we are team green!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
15 weeks, apple/orange/avocado... take your pick!
How are you feeling?
Better than last week! I'm trying to keep calm until my next appointment next week.
Favorite moment of the week?
My mom was in town for a couple of days. We went to Buy Buy Baby to browse and to Joann's to pick out fabric for the quilt she's making for Baby Dreamer. She was pretty amazed (and also sometimes skeptical) at all the new things they have for babies. A lot has changed since she had a baby, so I did a bit of smile and nodding at some of the comments she made (i.e. breastfeeding support pillow, not using blankets in the crib, and not bed-sharing).
And we each announced on FB over the weekend. I was nervous to hit "post," but it felt good at the same time.
Least favorite moment of the week?
I'm still dealing with my insurance company regarding my car. They are not giving me any updates and I feel like I have to babysit them and constantly check-in to find out what's going on. I just want my car back! Wah!
(
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm feeling better. My boobs are less sore, I only feel queasy with certain foods and not just at random times during the day), and I'm starting to maybe feel a little less exhausted. Plus, the bloat has gone away for the most part and I'm starting to get a little bump.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm doing pretty well and trying to not let the bad thoughts stay in my head. Now that I'm out of the first trimester, some of the nerves have died down. However, now I'm nervous about other things.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I have an appointment on Monday, but it shouldn't be too exciting - just a quick measure and check-in. My next prenatal appointment is next Thursday.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
@rox825 Good luck with the testing this week! I hope that the conference goes well and is an uneventful trip. Mmmm… Mac & cheese.
@mrstuna08 Your puppy looks so cute in the life vest! Yikes, 6 adults sleeping on one boat sounds cramped. Yay for lots of Baby Tuna movement!
@cobaby1 Sending lots of positive vibes for a great u/s tomorrow!
@haleyusf I’m glad that your a/s went well, but I’m sorry that you’re doubting your team green status.
@meagpt22 I’m sorry that the 3 hour test didn’t go well. I hope that they have enough information from your blood work and other test. That sounds awful.
@megbmeg That is so exciting to feel movement from the outside and being able to share. Yay for a good follow-up u/s! Bacon-wrapped dates!? It’s probably just better if I don’t try that, it sounds so good.
@spartykim Good luck at the appointment next week!
@elysa15 Yay for feeling the baby move!
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 16 weeks, avacado
How are you feeling? Feeling a little better. Still tired but get little bursts of energy
Favorite moment of the week? We went over and had dinner at my BIL's house and went through all their baby stuff and nursery (SIL is due in about 2 weeks) and for the first time looking through all her stuff I started to get excited about getting ready for baby for the first time.
Least favorite moment of the week? Just having DH gone all the time. I am ready for him to be home now.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? They are about the same, still some heartburn, headaches and some new awesome lower back pain.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I have been feeling pretty good lately since I had the appointment at the clinic last week and she said the baby was moving up a storm. I find myself thinking more about getting a home Doppler (which I swear I wouldn't) just to get through these long periods between appointments.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? The 22nd is out anatomy scan and checkup. Cant wait to see the baby again and it will be DH first time at an appointment.
~*~*~*GTKY questions:~*~*~*
During pregnancy my favorite food has been pasta, fruit and desserts. When I am not pregnant I would say lasagna.

Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 14 weeks... Lemon!
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? Still waiting...
How are you feeling? Fine. Sick every day. Tired. But I haven't called in sick to work, so I'll count it as a win.
Favorite moment of the week? Finding the heartbeat on the doppler!
Least favorite moment of the week? Getting sick in my car... many times.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Same. Miserable.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Getting better. I don't think it will ever go away, but it's not constant as it was during the first tri.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Tomorrow I go in for the results of my Harmony tests. I'm (secretly in IRL) hoping to find out the sex, but since we didn't ask, I'm not holding my breath.
