Week/Fruit: 31/pineapple. I made another week, yo.
How are you feeling? Wicked headaches, but I'm kinda always having those. The typical aches and pains. I'm fine, otherwise.
Appointments/Updates? My u/s showed Zoe was 3.14 pounds on Monday, big girl! Nearing 4 pounds which is a really good weight for a pre-e baby (and any baby at this point). Passed NST and blood work fine.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I haven't bought anything. STILL need diaper bag, going to look today. But I received two packages this week from amazing ladies here on j15 ( @muskiefan07 and @firefly3911 ) .. muskie gave Zoe a LACROSSE ONESIE and some leg warmers- she knows the way to my heart. And firefly gave her the most adorable tutu ever with a bunch of tights :x (and books and nail polishes for meeee). I love the ladies here, seriously.
Rants/Raves: I'm choosing not to rant today. I'm not feeling the rants. I'm just happy to be 31 weeks. Coming in for pre-e at just 23 weeks and getting steroid shots and having a real concern of having her super early, I'm so thrilled to be here still with her gestating away. We beat all these odds the nurses gave, and that makes me so happy. And GUYS. My white board says just 42 days until I hit 37 weeks and have her. nerves!!
QOTW: In honor of Halloween... What's your favorite candy? What's your favorite scary movie?
I can't think of my favorite scary movie. I try not to watch them, lol. My favorite candy is a tie between PB cups and snickers.
(Zoe Claire- born at 33.6 weeks- November 19, '14 - 5lbs 15oz)
feeling? Worn out and a little stressed. Nothing major.
Appointments/updates: both boys were head down at our last appointment. Hopefully they will stay that way.
Bought/received: I found a couple of mattress pads at the Arc thrift store and a few more pairs of pants. I have way more fun finding things for the boys at thrift stores. It's like a treasure hunt . We are having our work and family/friends shower this week so I have been waiting to make any other purchases.
Rants/raves: I don't think that is really a rant or rave but I have found it interesting how this pregnancy has changed my relationships. I feel closer to my parents-in-law and sisters and more distant from my parents. My brothers are pretty much the same as always.
Favorite candy... I am not sure. York peppermint patties, whoppers, toffee or red vines maybe? I guess it depends on my mood.
Week/Fruit: 30/Cucumber (totally don't agree with this veggie)
How are you feeling? Pretty good, still high blood pressure so trying to take it easy.
Appointments/Updates? Tomorrow is next Maternal Fetal. Baby is moving different now. Much stronger and a lot longer between movements. Baby is getting big :-)
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My land lady bought a Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother yesterday. It was a wonderful unexpected surprise. I also ordered some things from the vera bradley sale this week.
Rants/Raves: So happy to be at 30 weeks! I am delivering at 37 weeks also due to blood pressure so 48 days or so until this little guy or girl comes.
QOTW: In honor of Halloween... What's your favorite candy? What's your favorite scary movie? I love all candy! Especially Sweet Tarts, Nerds, Snickers, Twizzlers :-) I don't think I can pick just one scary movie. I liked The Orphan and The conjuring. DH is taking off tomorrow and we are going to have a Monster Mash/Bash after the doctors and bedrest with scary movies/shows all day long. Super excited!
Live like there is no tomorrow..Love like you have never been hurt...
Appointments/Updates? Last appointment was on Tuesday, got to take my glucose test (which wasn't bad at all). I'm now scheduled for bimonthly appointments...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? We bought his furniture and hope to put it up this weekend (after DH finishes the touch up paint and the carpets get cleaned on Saturday).
Rants/Raves: Rant: I am just ready for the weekend.
Rave: This pumpkin spice coffee.
~O)
QOTW: In honor of Halloween...
What's your favorite candy? I love everything about 100GRAND
What's your favorite scary movie? I don't know what it is, but 'The Strangers' scares me every. single. time.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I snagged a onesie, booties, a gown, and a diaper bag for me for an awesome price on Vera Bradley's website
Rants/Raves: getting excited for my baby shower on 11/9. Also, DH and I finally decided on a first name, but we are still undecided on the middle name
QOTW: In honor of Halloween... What's your favorite candy? What's your favorite scary movie? I love chocolate....World's Finest chocolate covered almonds are my fave! But I also love Almond Joy, Twix, 3 Muskateers.....I could go on and on. As for the scary movie, I hate them! But I did like Poltergeist when I was young
How are you feeling?fantastic! Although I would love to poop more
Appointments/Updates?Next week I got a midwife appointment.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently?Yes my DH bought a pink hello kitty diaper bag.Also we will be baby shopping today! I'm so excited!!!
Rants/Raves:I walked past a lady and I'm guessing she assumed it was okay to talk about my belly being to small and I'm going to break!
QOTW: In honor of Halloween... What's your favorite candy? What's your favorite scary movie?My favorite Halloween candy is candy corn! My favorite scary movie would be The Exorcist
Hi Ladies! I'm going to join in this week. I'm due on 1/29/15!
Week/Fruit: 27 / Rutabaga (Really, isn't this just a fancy name for a large turnip)?
How are you feeling? Much better, earlier in the week I had a ton of pelvic discomfort. I'm a little bummed because I thought I was at 28 weeks today but I calculated that I'm only 27 weeks today.
Appointments/Updates? I was weighed at my last appointment and I still haven't gained any weight (I'm actually -2 pounds from July). So, I'm wearing non-maternity clothes right now.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I bought new baby clothes and we finally picked a gray paint color for the baby's room.
Rants/Raves: I'm excited for Halloween tomorrow & it's Friday!!
QOTW: In honor of Halloween... What's your favorite candy? What's your favorite scary movie? My favorite Halloween chocolate is Twix and my favorite Halloween candy is Laffy Taffy. I don't watch a lot of scary movies but I thought The Shining was creepy! And I love going to Haunted Houses every year!
How are you feeling? This has been an incredibly stressful week at work (14 hour days since Monday). I'm at an intense training class where they make you work in a group to complete a project. We're two hours away from the office, in a gorgeous location that I haven't gotten to see at all because they've had us in a windowless room all day every day. I am incredibly grateful that tomorrow is Friday and I'm going home!
Appointments/Updates? Appointment is next week. I had a tiny bit of spotting this morning but it hasn't happened again since then. If it does, I'll call the OB and see if I need to come in earlier. I'm hoping it was a fluke...
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I bought some really cute band onesies for the Beatles, the Who, and Bob Dylan. I hope the baby inherits my musical taste.
Rants/Raves: Too exhausted to rant so I'll just rave that I'm going home tomorrow.
QOTW: In honor of Halloween... What's your favorite candy? What's your favorite scary movie? Just one candy? Jeez, that's hard. I love M&Ms but Reese's are so delicious... I don't watch a lot of scary movies so I'll go with Young Frankenstein.
How are you Feeling? I am feeling pretty good aside from heartburn. Getting anxious about her arrival. My sleep has gotten better past week so there's that. I'm feeling good being pregnant right now.
Appointments/Updates? Had an OB appointment today, met with my old OB/GYN ( appt got rescheduled from last week). Still measuring 2 weeks ahead based on fundal height measurement. Since this is the first time she's seen me and baby has SUA she scheduled my next growth scan a week from now, 11/10. ( Originally I was supposed to have the first growth scan around 32 weeks.) Anxious how that is going to go, hoping she's growing well and my fluid levels and placenta are looking good. Her heart rate is right on target at 145.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Had my shower last week, I mostly received gift cards, cash and clothing. I went to BRU last night and bought the tub, thermometer, muslin swaddle blankets, health/grooming kit and some other odd and ends we needed. I also purchased a California baby gift set, and breast milk storage and bottles on line this morning.
Rants/Raves: I have 3d scan scheduled for 11/4, and then the growth scan on 11/10. Excited to see her and how she's grown since the last scan. I was worried about 2 scans in 1 week but my OB said its fine. So far I have gained 14lbs, my Dr. was happy about that. She said I'm right on track. ( I only gained 20 last pregnancy and I kept having to see a nutritionist) Looking forward to taking my son trick or treating and seeing all the kids costumes. I baked banana bread tonight cant wait to eat it!
Rant: This heartburn is driving me crazy. My pregnancy brain is also getting worse, I forget something after 2 minutes, and my thoughts are scattered. I left all my forms in the bathroom and I accidently threw away my urine sample and handed the nurse the cup of water she gave me a few minutes before the appt. So I had to wait around to give them another sample. Also LO's new favorite place to keep her feet is under my ribs, I'm not as much of a fan as she is.
QOTW: In honor of Halloween....
What's your favorite candy? Whats your favorite horror movie? I'm more of a cake/pastry and dessert person. But for Halloween candy I like sixlets, twix, almond joys, twizzlers and York peppermint patties.
As for horror movies, I love horror movies. There are so many I like. I like psychological thrillers and mystery type more than I like gore and ghosts. I do like The Shinning, I liked the Bone Collector ( don't know if that's considered horror.) Nightmare on Elm Street. I can't really think right now. I want to see the new movie Annabell.
