  1. How far along are you?

  20w6d
  

  2. When is your due date?

  December 18

  3. How are you feeling?

  Pretty good. My rings are getting tight now, so as soon as we get home I'm going to put them back on my necklace chain.

  4. Any appointments or updates?

  We had our A/S last Thursday! Everything looks great, and it's a girl! We did cute gingerbread cookie announcements for family. 

  5. What do you plan to do differently this time? The same?

  Well, I'm hoping that she doesn't have the same spit-up problems that Benjamin had, and will actually sleep in the Arm's Reach. Other than that, I think we'll probably do things mostly the same. They seem to have worked out pretty well.

  1. How far along are you? 21w1d
  
  2. When is your due date? 12/16/14
  
  3. How are you feeling? Still feel awesome. Started to feel lil man more consistently. I hate having an anterior placenta lol.
  
  4. Any appointments or updates? Had one yesterday. Everything is still going great, progressing right on track and dr isn't concerned about my cervix
  
  5. What do you plan to do differently this time? The same? Only thing I'm doing different is cloth diapering from the get go instead of waiting until 6 weeks. (I'll use disposables in the hospital/until all meconium passes). Everything else will be the same, it's worked for two other kids so I'm confident I'm doing it right

  I'm 15 weeks 2 days.
  
  I'm due Jan 26.
  
  Still feeling good. I'm having more headaches, and still having the numbing right arm stuff every so often. I'm in maternity jeans now.
  
  I have my 16 week A/S on Tuesday. Hopefully baby will show us the goods. I then have my checkup on Wednesday.
  
  Don't really have a plan. Probably do things the same.
  I want to spend more time with baby and my husband in the hospital before phone calls are made and any visitors show up.

  Good. Hot and crampy. But good.

  Next appt is on friday!
  
  5. What do you plan to do differently this time? The same?
  Differently - Im going to try to breastfeed for longer and not use the pump/bottlefeed so soon. I think thats part of the reason why it didnt go so well last time. We're also going to cloth diaper.
  
  The same - everything else.

  1. How far along are you? 31w6d

  2. When is your due date? 10/3

  3. How are you feeling? Generally fine.  My back has been bothering me a little, but nothing too serious. 

  4. Any appointments or updates? Appointment on Monday.  

  5. What do you plan to do differently this time? The same? Eh - hard to say.  If this baby is different, we will obviously have to be different.  But as far as things I can actually plan for, we are planning on limiting visitors at the hospital - it was a zoo last time.  And I packed a lot of junk last time (did I really think I was going to have time to read!?!?), so my hospital bag will look completely different this time.

  1. How far along are you? 28 weeks

  2. When is your due date? 10/26

  3. How are you feeling? A little stressed out

  4. Any appointments or updates? I failed my glucose test.  So I'm joining the GD club this time.  I got my meter this morning and trying to figure this whole thing out.  I start seeing the doc every 2 weeks now.  I also got my TDAP yesterday.  Damn I forgot how much it hurt!!

  5. What do you plan to do differently this time? The same?  Apparently this could be a whole different ballgame now since there is a greater chance of induction.  Basically I'm doing everything the same other than needed to modify my diet now.

  1. I am 26 weeks 5 days. Almost in 3rd trimester!

  
  

  
  

  2. November 8th

  
  

  
  

  3. I'm feeling... Not prepared. Our house is too small so we decided to sell it but first we need to finish our house. It's been stressful but we are getting close. Hopefully by the end of September we have it on the market.

  
  

  4. I'm doing my GD test tomorrow.

  
  

  5. I'm hoping for a VBAC this time. Fingers crossed! I'm also hoping there won't be a breast tissue issue this time and I can actually BF. This is one of my biggest worries.

  
  

  Do we have any O14 ladies here? I just want to say that I hope our N14 and O14 board tiff didnt affect how any of us see each other here. We were just defending our own which you were also doing. I have no bad feelings towards O14 ladies as they were just defending their own bumpie. We were doing the same and I hope things can go back to normal between us,

  @Maelara - I am an O14 - but I can honestly say, I have no idea what tiff you are talking about!  I am so rarely on the O14 board.  Now I want to know the scoop!!

  Honestly, I didn't even read her post because I seriously don't care if she threw her own shower or not. I just cared about my board and my bumpie I was there on her behalf, not to argue about a baby shower.

  tl;dr version: She didnt actually throw her own shower. She was going to but her SIL offered and then her mother wanted to be apart of it/took over. She kinda turned into momzilla about having other people help (like SIL and MIL) and the MTB let her instead of argue with her because it was easiest. The whole post was mainly a vent about her mom who was kind of immature about some stuff. I dont really understand how the whole "flame her because she threw her own shower" thing came about... But then again I didnt actually read any of the drama surrounding it. I only know bits and pieces of it.

  Nobody was going to flame her for her shower. It was accidentally posted on O14 instead of N14 as one of my bumpies was over there lurking and thought we'd get a kick out of it. O14 then decided to flame us (rightfully so). But they were bashing our WHOLE board for something one girl did and that's what I took issue with. I really don't care if she threw her own shower or not. I'm not the etiquette police.

  where is @nix55? She have that baby yet?

  @ mcbush: I'm here, but barely. I went back to work this week. I'm getting my classes started before I go on maternity leave. I've entered the days of cankles and feeling super crampy. I've been too tired to keep up with TB. Thanks for checking on me. I'm glad to see everyone else's pregnancies are going well.
