Grad Check-In 9/11

Hi grads! Thanks for visiting. How's the pregnancy going?

QOTW: Have you had anything pumpkin-spiced yet? If so, where and what?

gsancho · September 2014

Hi! I've been updating some on the Tropical Ovaries check-in, but I always love reading the grad updates on this post - sorry if I'm repetitive.

I'm almost at 7 weeks. My beta numbers ended up looking strong, even though I had an E2 scare at one point. Those number have helped ease my mind a tiny bit until u/s. The thing I'm hating is that my RE waits until well after 8 weeks for an u/s (most do it at 6w), so I have to wait until 9/22. I am DYING to hear a heartbeat and find out if there's one or two in there. Until then, I'm feeling by boobs every hour to make sure they're sore and I still periodically take HPTs.

QOTW: Not yet! My favorite is pumpkin pancakes. We should have a cold front come through Texas soon, so I'll be in the mood for more fall stuff. I'll probably buy all sorts of candles this weekend.

@Ronniesgirl1981 - Thanks for running these! Hope you have to stop soon. ;-)

@gsancho - Not long now!!!

AFM, I graduated today!!! Yay, happy dance! We had a nine week ultrasound and saw our little gummy bear squirming around. It was the first time it was really cute instead of just blob-like. I;m excited to get to a clinic that uses better ultrasound equipment than this, but here's the pic:

Measurements were great, and even a bit ahead of our dates (9+2 versus 8+6). I'm starting to feel like there might actually be a baby on the way!

I desperately miss this board and stalk frequently, although I generally refrain from commenting. Can't wait to see everyone on the other side!

@Buttmonkey34‌ - every scan, including today!!

Hi Ladies -

20 weeks, 5 days today and I think it is really starting to hit me that this is real. I finally did some real clothes shopping (up to now only bought a couple t-shirts, jeans and a pair of slacks - so basically I have been wearing the same thing every couple days!) Loaded up on sweaters, long sleeve shirts and a few more slacks - so now I don't have to go running back to the store every week. I also made my first foray into PB Baby - took a look at cribs and gliders - still feel like I have tons of time though so no rush.

QOTW: I haven't had anything pumpkin spice yet per se, but I did have a Starbucks sugar cookie in the shape of a pumpkin with pumpkin icing the other day

I think of you all so often and hope to see you all on PAIF soon.

Hi girls!! I stalk regularly and sending you girls t&p's that your BFP is around the corner. I am just past 30 weeks and starting to actually feel like I'm in the home stretch. I'm coming up on my loss milestone and am worried how I am going to handle it.

qotw: nothing yet, but have been waiting for a latte or something soon. Like @gsancho it is still HOT in TX, but I heard that we are supposed to have a high in the 70's tomorrow!! So it might be the day. So excited for the cooler weather!

@ifintn if I am stalking correctly your transfer is tomorrow right? Good luck! I have EVERYTHING crossed for you. I really hope this is your moment. ((Hugs))

36 weeks and waddling into the home stretch. With the GD, the docs won't let me go past my due date, so less than 4 weeks now! Nursery is complete and just washing some last minute gifts from co-workers.

QOTW: Alas, no. I try to avoid most sweets right now. However, I am looking forward to some pumpkin spiced yummies once LO arrives.

AMShark · September 2014

This is my first graduate post, which is pretty exciting. To be honest, I've not been a good graduate, and I'm probably still spending too much time on this board. Sorry about that, ladies - old habits are hard to shake.

As of today, I'm 7w2d. We are having twins, and during my 2nd u/s on Tuesday, we finally saw the heartbeats. Everything is measuring on schedule so far, but I crave the update of my weekly appointments to reassure me that things are still ok.

Sorry if this is repetitive, since I don't know when I've worn out my welcome. I will work on being a quieter stalker.

QOTW: I have not had pumpkin spiced anything yet, but I'm considering making some pumpkin chocolate cookies for tomorrow's tailgate.

*** ETA - that darned QOTW! ***

pblge · September 2014

I've forgotten every qotw recently! For this one: no. It is not fall yet. It is still summer, dammit.

@DreadGamerWife‌ - very exciting!!!

@Wolfette139‌ - yikes!! Sorry to hear that! How bed rest isn't too bad.

dp21 · September 2014

@pblge LOL....I don't know where you live, but it has been chilly in Michigan....sure does feel like fall! I had to bust out a fall jacket today!

As for me 23 weeks and 2 days. Have been asked by 3 strangers the past week when am I due. I guess that means I officially look preggo!

We finally got our crib from IKEA yesterday, it has been out of stock for almost 2 months! But totally worth the wait, especially for $104 bucks including tax

QOTW: Not a pumpkin spice person. But I am looking forward to picking apples, making pie from scatch, getting hot cider and homemade donuts at the mill

mmhopeful · September 2014

Delivering this Tuesday! 9/16

Can't wait to meet the little guys! Nesting at home!

QOTW: Nothing pumpkin spice yet.....but I LOVE anything Apple spiced in the Fall!

Sunny B · September 2014

@mmhopeful so soon! How exciting

mmhopeful · September 2014

Thanks! We are delivering at 37 weeks due to pre-eclampsia but feel so blessed to have gotten this far with the boys! So excited to share pics at the next check in! Thanks @SunnyB and @IFinTN.

19 weeks pregnant today!!! We just closed on a house on Friday, so we are busy with trying to fix up the house as much as possible before the babies get here. The house was built in 2006, but a male widow has lived there and it needs some TLC and a woman's touch.

. There is going to be a lot of painting in my husbands future.

QOTW: I have been drinking pumpkin spiced iced coffees from dunkin donuts. I started drinking 1 a day again after giving it up before my FET and for my first trimester.
