Qotw: What is your favorite children's book?

ksgsmu · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 23 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling? ugh. I feel like I am going downhill fast. My ribs are now killing me and MFM said it was normal for where the babies are now positioned and it will only get worse. I feel like a wuss.
Any Dr. Appointments or updates? MFM was today and the boys are growing perfectly on schedule and weigh almost a pound and a half each. My cervix looked awesome as well which was relief. I have to do the glucose test next week at my OBGYNs office.

Anything exciting going on? I have my first baby shower in two weeks- eek!

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book? Charlottes Web and the Giving Tree

mrsrichey11 · October 2014

25 weeks tomorrow! I feel like I've been hit by a train. I try not to whine too much, but holy crap I just want it to be by due date already. Everything hurts. I'm not feeling super awesome right now. Usually I am super positive, but its hard to keep a smile on my face when I'm so uncomfortable, and I know its only going to get worse. I've been crying over stupid stuff too...like how I don't want to drive to work, I barely fit at my desk anymore, or that my Dove chocolate ran out last night.

Next appointment is this Wednesday then 1hr glucose on Thursday.

My shower was on Saturday! It was really fun and tiring!

QOTW: My favorite children's book was Ten in the Bed. My parents still have it. Its so worn out from me reading it every single day as a kid!

ksgsmu · October 2014

mrsrichey11 I know how you feel... I have been pretty unemotional until now and now I want to cry all the time. I had a meltdown in the grocery store parking lot because I felt so miserable. Hang in there... I keep reminding myself " this is only temporary!"

PeaceofKia · October 2014

20w3d for me (gotta change my ticker).

No appt this week, next one is Oct 20 with MFM. It was my first day back at work since I had to stay home last week per doctor's orders for BP concerns. I didn't have a good day....I'm not harboring some horrible cold and every move I made today was uncomfortable.

We took family and maternity pictures yesterday!!! It was so much fun and I can't wait to see how they turn out!!

My favorite children's book will always be Dr. Suess' "Fox in Socks." And now DD loves it too, we read it at least once a week for bedtime. :-)

studentnurse2011 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 14 weeks
How are you feeling? MUCH better! Now if the headaches and fatigue would go away I would be WONDERFUL!

Any Dr. Appointments or updates? I had an appt last week with my OB....everything went great, both babies looked wonderful. Next appointments aren't until the 29th (OB) and 11/18 (MFM).
Anything exciting going on? Nothing really.

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book? I didn't really read children's books...but I loved "Little Women" and anything by Judy Blume.

MrsF0831 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 9 weeks
How are you feeling? not bad have been taking b6 and unisom for my nausea

How are you feeling?
Tired, huge, tired, nervous, tired, excited. Oh, and tired.

Any Dr. Appointments or updates?
Had an appointment on friday. Got the call today that my C section had been scheduled for 11/4, at 38w. 4 weeks to go!

Anything exciting going on?
We are just checking things off the list one by one. And I think we finally settled on names!

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book?
'The monster at the end of this book'

runner089 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 35 weeks

How are you feeling? Uncomfortable, but not horrible. I do kinda feel like a turtle on my back when I'm trying to roll over in bed. It's a whole process.

Any Dr. Appointments or updates? I had an ultrasound last Thursday. Both babies are heads up. Baby boy is about 5 pounds, baby girl is about 5 pounds 11 ounces. Tentatively scheduled c-section for November 5 (39 weeks)...yikes! Hoping I can make it that long!

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book? The Giving Tree.

ktibbits1 · October 2014

34w5d

Feeling tired a lot, pain in my pelvic region and back, and I seem to be getting more emotional these days, little things make me cry.

OB appt Wednesday to check my cervix. As uncomfortable as I am I'm hoping the babies can stay in for a couple more weeks

I loved books as a kid, it's hard to pick one! Probably The Velveteen Rabbit

Siona1976 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 34w5d @ktibbits1 looks like we are due date twins as well.

How are you feeling? Tired, big and it is getting uncomfortable. It is hard getting out of a sitting position or in and out of bed.

Any Dr. Appointment or updates? Had my weekly NST last Wed and all looked good. Baby A was kicking so much that he moved the monitor. My Ob appt was good. They are just letting me progress. . .no talk of scheduling a c-section or knowing when the end will be. Although one doc told me Nov. 12 will be their absolute last day. I wanted to cry when he told me that, I don't think I can make it another 5 weeks! My next appt is Wed.

QOTW: The Giving Tree

hais_mommy · October 2014

19 weeks 4 days! Feeling good, other than uber emotional and just starting to feel myself slowing down a little. Appt with OB on Wednesday for a check up and should have results of my Materni21 test this week! Giving tree!

AandStilltrying · October 2014

21w+2d and today was amazing. Had growth scan at Duke. Everything we were worried about last month has went away! Placenta moved up, echogenic bowel went away and the SCH seems to be resolving. Bleeding has totally stopped but can still see it on ultrasound, but they are sure it's clotted as thinning which is a sign it is healing.

Feeling ok. Both boys are breech. Still early though so plenty of time to move.

Qotw: fav book was called "Milk and Cookies". And any Amelia B.

courtlandmatthew · October 2014

21 weeks tomorrow- feeling okay. we had our A/S last week and both girls look great. One is head down, one breech and I am ready for them both to be head down as I really, really want to try for another vaginal delivery if I can! My husband says I am obsessed lol.

I love so many kids books. Right now Moo, Baa, LaLaLa by Sandra Boyton is one of my daughters favorites right now.

MissEm15 · October 2014

Good morning ladies!

22w today! I'm still feeling good.. I know I'm super lucky. Although to complain, my pants are REALLY tight today and my belly is feeling the pressure. DH and I set our cribs up last weekend & the room looks awesome. I have a CL check Thursday and meeting w/ my OB in a week. My first shower is in 3 weeks, so trying to get my registries all ready to go. I can't wait! Oh & I think we have names too

QOTW: My favorite book was Are you my mother? I used to read it to my little brother (he's 13y younger than me) and we woould crack up laughing while reading it for some reason. Good memories.

jaytee16 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 20 weeks!

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall, dealing with some heartburn this past week.

Any Dr. Appointments or updates? Had my A/S last week, found out we're team purple, yay! I see my OB on Thurs to get all my official results, just praying everything looks perfect!

Anything exciting going on? We're getting some really generous hand me downs, which is making me sappy thinking this stuff is finally for MY babies! We also started crib shopping.

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book? Robert Munsch, Love you Forever. Yup, I'm a sap.

RayRay007 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 32
How are you feeling? Really really slow and tired.
Any Dr. Appointments or updates? Need to get a cbc done this week to see how my hemoglobin is doing.
Anything exciting going on? Having some family over for Canadian thanksgiving this weekend. I will throw a ham in the oven but that's about it, we've asked our guests to bring sides. I normally love cooking but there's no way I can cook all day in this state.

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book? I like DDs book The Very Cranky Bear

Mrs.McIrish · October 2014

I'm 32 weeks tomorrow. I had a growth u/s yesterday and A is 4lbs 5 oz (65th percentile) and B is 3lbs 14 oz (41st percentile). So they are growing well but I still have 6 weeks to go and they are already over 8lbs!! The MFM changed his original date of 37 weeks to 38 weeks (growl!!!) and said induction at 38 weeks... Not csection. I know he told me at appt 1 that it would be a csection unless both were head down. Now he says we can try vaginally with one head down-- they'll pull the breech bsby out by her feet!! What?? Apparently some doctors won't do it but he is "very skilled at it". Lucky me... I know some want a vag birth but I'm not one of them. The idea of 6 more weeks and then an induction sends me into a panic attack. I hope they decide to come out on their own a little earlier....

I almost cried this morning when i opened the dishwasher and saw that DH had loaded it wrong.

ktibbits1 · October 2014

@Siona1976 Hi due date twin! Glad everything is going well with your pregnancy. My OB said they would take the babies if I made it to 38 weeks which I'm happy with, I don't think I could go another 5 weeks either! I keep reminding myself that 35 weeks is average for twins so I'm glad to be at that point, but also anxiously awaiting the babies' arrival and the end of some of this discomfort. We're almost to the end, keeping hanging in there!

shurlired · October 2014

20 weeks, 4 days.

Feeling good besides lots of belly heaviness. Thinking about getting Prenatal Cradle for extra support.

Follow up A/S tomorrow, plus CL check & ECG for babes. I also found a lump in my armpit, so having that checked out & trying not to think of worst case scenario.

Right now the family fave is Yertle the Turtle

absolutelymaybe · October 2014

How many weeks are you?
32 weeks and 4 days (? I'd have to check ticker. LOL)

How are you feeling?
Big -- it feels like I'm carrying weights around with me (which, in fairness, I kind of am). My hip has started hurting so it's hard to walk/roll over/get out of bed or pretty much do anything that requires movement. My boy (baby

has his butt pressed up under my ribcage (especially when I'm at work), so depending on the time of the day it goes from mild discomfort to excruciating pain. Sometimes I try to rub his bottom and try to coax him out of there. Sometimes it works.

Any Dr. Appointments or updates?
Yes - had OB appointment last week and was freaking shocked to hear my babies have gone from breech to vertex. Yeah. I am not entirely sure when it happened or how they pulled off such a coordinated move, but it did! Estimated weight on baby A is 3 lb 10 oz and 4 lb 7 oz for Baby B.

Anything exciting going on?
Not really. Just trying to get by and not punch the next person who makes a comment about my belly or my face looking pregnant.

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book?
Hmm...I know my mom read to me a ton but I can't recall a favorite. I really liked the Bernstein Bear books, though.

BabyKsMommy · October 2014

Well with any pregnancy everything is going fine till it isn't. On friday i started leaking fluid and am now on hospital bed rest till I deliver. If the babies don't come by 35 wks then they will induce. Today I'm 31w6d so Im really hoping these babies stay put for a while longer. I have had the steroid shots for their lungs and they are pumping be full of antibiotics to try to prevent an infection. So 5 days of hospital bed rest down, hopefully a few more weeks to go!

QOTW: I've always liked reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

aliciafirewife · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 13w 4d
How are you feeling? Really good, I actually have some energy to do things now
Any Dr. Appointments or updates? Had my first OB appointment on Friday, she is wanting me to see a highrisk since I have a hx of mc but I couldn't get in until the endo of the month.
Anything exciting going on?
Started the process today to get our son into early preschool and the IEP process is underway, so exciting for him to be able to go to school

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book?
I have so so many. For this season, Gus the Ghost is a fun one. It's about a lonely ghost who wants to be friends with the family in his house. So cute!

AandStilltrying · October 2014

@BabyKsMommy‌ we are all thinking of you and your lil ones! Stay put babies!!! Be nice to your mommy!

JennMarie1 · October 2014

How many weeks are you? 21

How are you feeling? Honestly? Gassy. I am feeling gassy. I'm really glad the hubs and I hold nothing back because this would be wildly uncomfortable if I couldn't let it out. TMI? Yeah probably.

Any Dr. Appointments or updates? Nope, we found out the sexes at 18 weeks at our big u/s and haven't had one since. I do love the doppler checks to hear the heartbeats, but now that I'm getting tons of movement I don't feel quite so nervous that something's gone wrong. Will that worry ever go away? Maybe when they get married...

Anything exciting going on? I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding at 38 weeks so since it's highly unlikely I'll be able to attend I'm having fun planning the bridal shower and bachelorette party.

Qotw: What is your favorite children's book? Anything Berenstain Bears. I also loved the Velveteen Rabbit but it made me cry.

APRILMW · October 2014

How many weeks are you? I'm 26 wks tomorrow

How are you feeling? Mostly well, reflux is breaking through meds again, and it's getting more uncomfortable to sit on couch at night and hard to sleep!

Any Dr. Appointments or updates? Had an appt w/ OB yesterday all is looking great, up 25lbs so far, table side u/s shows A is breech & this prompted the C-section talk. Good times.

OB wasn't even thrilled that she may need to do one on me given my scar tissue history. Praying she flips!

Anything exciting going on? Had my baby shower last Saturday! It was fantastic!!

QOTW: love all books by Sandra Boynton!

diz1313 · October 2014

I am 30 weeks today. I am feeling really really winded. I get dizzy periodically. I am pretty sure "comfortable" is a total feeling of the past. Ha! The babies are really really active! I had both an OB appointment and MFM appointments recently. The babies are growing well. Both are measuring in the 75th percentile at 3lbs 1oz. I passed my glucose test, am not anemic for once, and my thyroid levels are holding steady. I have gained 40lbs total thus far and my belly is measuring at 40 weeks. My c-section has been scheduled for December 11th, we shall see if the girls cooperate with that. My favorite children's book is The Velevetine Rabbit
