18 weeks

2) How is PgAL brain treating you?
It's ok. I think I've only felt the babe once or twice. It took forever to feel ds though- like 20/21 weeks.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week?
Two more weeks til a/s!

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday?
I'm glad @YaMrWhite‌ posted this! I want ideas lol ds is going to be a monkey so I was trying to think of something to go with that

Thanks for the check-in @yamrwhite !

1) How far along are you? 18 wks +5

2) How is PgAL brain treating you? It's pretty good this week - I was starting to get nervous last week but then I had an appointment and the doctor found the heartbeat and told me that she was moving all around which is why it was taking him so long. Then my BFF told me that I looked pregnant

3) Any important appointments/updates this week? I have my a/s on Friday. All of my other u/s were at the OB's office but I have to go over to the hospital for this one - I'm nervous that my doctor won't be there

I don't like walking away from the u/s not really knowing anything.

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday? Hm....haven't even thought about it.

1) How far along are you?

20w4d

2) How is PgAL brain treating you?

I go through phases. The last couple days were good since I think I am FINALLY feeling baby move

But last week between my continued weight loss and no movement I had been pretty nervous.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week?

I go Friday for a second try at the a/s! They need a few additional measurements theycouldn't get and hopefully I'll find out if its a boy or girl! Stubborn thing had its legs crossed last time lol

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holliday?

I had been thinking about it earlier in pregnancy. I was excited I'd be far enough along to do something like that. Thats all kindof halted though since I swear I am anti-showing. Nobody believes I am this far along until I show them my ultrasounds. As I mentioned I'm still down a good deal of weight and heavy to begin with so there isn't exactly a "bump"

karla1301 · August 2014

1) How far along are you? 22 weeks +2 days

2) How is PgAL brain treating you? Had a few minor freakouts last week when I was having some contractions and baby wasn't moving much. Little sucker sleeps a lot but is moving regularly so I need to calm down.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week? Nada

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday? Not sure, probably not (although with the size of this belly, I could do a bunch!). This stomach is no joke!

MoreThanSparrows08 · August 2014

Good morning ladies!!!

1) How far along are you? 18 weeks +2

2) How is PgAL brain treating you? Meh... I had some bright red blood yesterday when I wiped, but I haven't seen any since. I was fairly freaked out when it happened, but since I am still feeling LO wiggle around, and I haven't had any more, I'm doing my best not to worry. I will be mentioning it to my doc this afternoon.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week? Just a regular check-up this afternoon, and then our A/S next Thursday.

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday? With my second, I was due 10/5, and my husband's best friend is an October baby, so he insisted on painting my rather large pregnant belly into a jack-o-lantern on the 30th of September. I don't know if we'll do anything this year or not. We're not big Halloween celebrators.

ETA: because I can't count...

@MoreThanSparrows08‌ good luck at your appt!

@ACH831‌ I like the pumpkin idea a lot !

MarxieVonTrapp · August 2014

How far along are you? 18w, 6d

2) How is PgAL brain treating you? Ok. I had to research a lack of movement and found it was ok and normal. I had an anterior placenta last time, so I didn't feel anything until about 22 weeks, so I'm glad I can feel something at all.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week? Nope

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday? I would like to go as the Death Star with a couple of TIE fighters attacking it.

@excitedmama2 love that shirt!
1) How far along are you?

21W1D

2) How is PgAL brain treating you?

I'm OK, I worry about not feeling her move around enough. I've also been waiting on some test results from Doc for over 2 weeks - they said they'd call either way! On the last U/S they found a single choroid plexus cyst in the brain, but no other defects - and decided to run some more tests just because they can. I hate the waiting for this nurse to call, and when I call, they always say she'll call back but she has 48 hours to get back to me, WTF?!

3) Any important appointments/updates this week?

Nothing for 2.5 more weeks
4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday?
I love that shirt with the karate baby skeleton! I usually never dress up for Halloween, but I work at a cirque fitness studio in the evenings, so the clients would probably love something like that.

ShuShubee · August 2014

1) How far along are you?

2) How is PgAL brain treating you?

Pretty good. I have felt the baby move quite a bit, almost strong enough at times that you may be able to feel it from the outside. She is pretty active in there. Maybe that's because I like sugar....

3) Any important appointments/updates this week?

We had a great A/S last week. We have a healthy baby girl!

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday?
I am not sure. I will probably find some sort of Halloween theme pregnancy shirt and that is about it.

That 48 hour thing sucks

2000cougar · August 2014

1) How far along are you? 18w+

2) How is PgAL brain treating you? Good. The little one has been very active. Last night we could see the kicks from the outside.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week? Nothing much going on.

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday? I'm looking pretty much like I did when I was pregnant with my son. I'm still not in maternity clothes and you can't tell I'm pregnant. So, I doubt I'll even be showing by then.

jneden · August 2014

1) How far along are you? 20 weeks

2) How is PgAL brain treating you? Okay. Had the anatomy scan on Friday. Baby looks good but they discovered that I have a complete placenta previa so now I'm worried about all the complications that can occur with that and possible bed rest.

3) Any important appointments/updates this week? I have a follow up ultrasound and appointment on Thursday to further discuss the placenta problem.

4) QOTW: I know Halloween is still a little ways away but do you have ideas on dressing up your bump for the holiday? I probably won't dress up. I'll just dress up my toddler and we will take her around the neighborhood.
