Re: ***Tuesday Ticker Change Check-In***
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 29 weeks! Acorn squash.
How are you feeling? Bigger and like I'm definitely in 3rd tri.
Favorite moment of the week? My baby shower was on Sunday and it was great! We had a co-ed one because MH wanted to be involved. My friends who hosted and my mom did a great job on everything and I felt very loved.
Least favorite moment of the week? Going to pick up our glider at the store and they sent the wrong color. Boo. So, it'll probably be 5-6 weeks before we get the right one (hopefully), but at least it'll be delivered right to our house and they'll pick up the wrong one. We still have time, but it was still a PITA.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? It's getting hard to breathe, leg swelling is a little worse, and I can't stand up for a long time without my back hurting. But, it's nothing I wasn't expecting.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I'm doing ok this week. My OB measured my fundal height and says I'm right on track. My weight gain has been on the low end of the graph, but still ok. I had been worried about baby's growth, but it seems like he/she has had some growth spurts recently.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next prenatal appt is first week of December. I'm really excited to hit 30 weeks next week.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
I can’t help myself and have been giving in to the ice cream cravings. What is your favorite flavor? Right now, Trader Joe's Cookie Butter ice cream. mmmm
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 41 weeks, something really big!
If you’re far enough along, are you having a boy or girl or are you team green? (This is to update the list, so if you’re already on there no need to answer again!) We'll find out tomorrow!
How are you feeling? Not great emotionally, I'm anxious about being induced.
Favorite moment of the week? Finishing work on Friday, no more until February.
Least favorite moment of the week? Waking up again this morning without any contractions or labor signs.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Same old.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Not great, I think that my induction anxiety has me spiraling into other scary thoughts, like what if it causes too much distress and the baby inhales meconium and gets pneumonia, what if I need an epidural or c-section and the baby has a bad reaction to anesthesia, etc. T&P for a smooth induction tomorrow would be awesome, I'll be so relieved when all is said and done and I am holding a (hopefully) healthy LO.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Induction bright and early tomorrow morning!
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
I can’t help myself and have been giving in to the ice cream cravings. What is your favorite flavor? Depends when you ask! I like chocolate, cherry vanilla, mint choc chip, etc, depending on the day and time of year. Oh and I love peppermint ice cream around the holidays!

~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
I can’t help myself and have been giving in to the ice cream cravings. What is your favorite flavor?
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 7 weeks/Blueberry!
How are you feeling? Feeling OK. Heartburn, tired, boobs HURT!
Favorite moment of the week? DH taking DS to daycare both days this week.
I don't know what it is, but if he has a rough drop off, my day starts off bad, and it's hard to get out of that funk.
Least favorite moment of the week? Work....in general...it's been crazy busy this week
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Getting worse...heartburn is horrible this time around. I may have to get on something better than Tums soon.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Actually pretty good so far. I'm sure as I get closer to my next appt, it'll get worse.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Appt. 11/20
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite flavor? Any
Usually mint chocolate chip or rocky road
BFP #1 5/4/11 EDD 1/12/12 natural m/c 5/17/11
BFP #2 8/9/11 EDD 4/18/12 ectopic pregnancy (methotrexate) 8/24/11 ruptured tube and removal 8/29/11
BFP #3 3/9/12 EDD 11/19/12 Logan born 11/18/12
~*~*Everyone Welcome*~*~
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 7 w - blueberry, but measuring a few days behind, so who knows?
How are you feeling? Exhausted in the evenings, but otherwise pretty good.
Favorite moment of the week? Seeing baby's HB this morning on ultrasound
Least favorite moment of the week? Getting a call from DS's preschool teacher saying that DS has been naughty in school... again. I think he's acting out from all the stress at home over this pregnancy. DH and I have been worried and tense and I think he senses it.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? My symptoms aren't too bad, but I am staring to feel "more pregnant."
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I get a reprieve from PGAL for today, since we had an ultrasound and saw baby's HB this morning. But baby is measuring a few days behind from my dates. I *should* be 7, but baby measured 6+3. I wasn't temping, though, just using OPKs, so I know my O date could be a day or two off. Anyway, just keep the growing vibes going!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Next ultrasound with my RE at 9 weeks.
GTKY: I can’t help myself and have been giving in to the ice cream cravings. What is your favorite flavor? This ice cream shop in my neighborhood has a Horchata flavored ice cream. Soooo creamy, cinnamony, and delicious.
@snowbigdeal Good luck at your A/S! I hope you’re able to find some answers about your sleep at the next OB appointment. That must be really scary waking up to.
@rox825 FX for a smooth and quick induction tomorrow! So excited for you! I’m sorry that you’re feeling really anxious about it.
@haleyusf FX that your appointment with the new OB goes really well!
@angielayne926 That’s nice that YH can take over drop off duties a few times during the week. J
@grailseeker14 What a sweet husband. I’m glad you’re feeling better.
@bookishmomma Yay for seeing the HB! Congrats! I’m sorry DS is being naughty though.
@officedronette Congrats and welcome!
@birch113 Yes, you read that right. It is heaven in your mouth. It’s vanilla ice cream with cinnamon and chunks of the cookie butter (which they also sell in jars). I’m glad that your nausea seems to be getting better and that you’re feeling more set-up for the nursery.
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
@luciddreamer Thankfully, I've gotten an extension on the professional development hours. Hallelujah!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 36 weeks, honeydew. Except a giant one - see below.
How are you feeling? Kind of shocked and amazed because we're in the home stretch. Also exhausted, and pretty overwhelmed.
Favorite moment of the week?
We just had our 36 week u/s and got to see sweet baby girl. She's doing well, and she's head down! She is also, it turns out, looking like a really BIG baby. They estimated 7.5 lbs already! And with a big head. Eeps! Of course, ultrasounds have a big margin of error, so she could be smaller, but she's definitely not small. It's frankly a little intimidating to think about birthing a big baby, and that it could be soon.
Least favorite moment of the week?
We bought a new to us (but actually old) car. I've owned it 72 hours and the check engine light came on this morning. Fun times.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
Doing okay. I think I'm just having normal nervousness about baby actually arriving fairly soon. Not a Pgal specific issue for once
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Mostly looking forward to finishing up at work. I have a mountain of work to do before then, but I'm hoping/praying to get out of there by 37 weeks.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
I can’t help myself and have been giving in to the ice cream cravings. What is your favorite flavor?
So many! I usually most love chocolate + peanut butter, or anything with caramel. But this pregnancy, I love fruit flavors more.

10-20 - 151 bpm 10-31 153 bpm
11-13 IT'S A BOY!!!!!
@ MrsTuna08 Have the cats adjusted to the furniture or are they still misbehaving? Still misbehaving. I'm not sure it's the furniture at this point. I think my boy cat knows something is up and he is just angry about it all. At least he hasn't puked on anything this week!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 38 weeks, pumpkin
How are you feeling? anxious! I've started wrapping up all my "must-dos" before she gets here and it is very trippy to know that I could go into labor whenever.
Favorite moment of the week? We set an induction date! Not that I want to be induced, I do not at all. But it is nice to have an end date on the calendar. Because of the GD, they don't want me going past my due date. So if I don't go into labor on my own, they will start dilating me on the 23rd overnight and pitocin the 24th in the morning. Also, I'm fingertip dilated and cervix is shortening, so whoo hoo stuff is starting to happen and that makes me giddy.
Least favorite moment of the week? Puppy threw up a few times this week and I have no idea what is going on with her. She goes to the vet again tomorrow to see if they can give us some answers. I hate the thought of her being unwell (although other than randomly stopping to vomit, she seems a-ok).
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Pretty much the same, just more intense. I'm sore and tired and big and maybe a bit grumpy.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Pretty good. She is such a mover that I don't have to go very long without feeling her. Also, like @meladoriestar mentioned, the high risk has its silver lining of extra monitoring. I think it has really helped calm me down that I have an u/s, NST and check in with the doctor weekly. I get to peek in on her all the time.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Delivery Day!!!!! Whenever that will be
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
I can’t help myself and have been giving in to the ice cream cravings. What is your favorite flavor? I love all the ice cream. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite. But if I was only allowed one more ice cream ever, it would probably have to be Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk.

@MrsTuna08 Yay for an induction date! I'm glad that you're making some progress already, so FX that you won't need to be induced. Sorry to hear about the sick puppy.
@SamanthaLaura16 Yay for passing your test! I hope your appt went well.
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
29 weeks, acorn squashes :-)
feeling good, mostly!
Fave moment? There was a wedding, and a baby shower, and a GD class.... good week :-)
Least fave moment? stupid f-n place I live! I was notified my DL is suspended until my insurance company sends a Certificate of Compliance showing I had insurance in August when I got a ticket, that I paid. Waste of f-n paper to have a proof of insurance here!!!! I hate it here :-/
symptoms? A new thing where my right hip hurts when I walk, but only when I take weight off the leg.... like its trying to dislocate?- weird.... my fingers are numb, always from carpal tunnel- so I cant feel the finger pricks much to test my blood sugar :-)
My legs go numb on the outside if I stand too long...
PGAL brain? Sometimes the girls slow down too much.... my aunt watched my belly for 3 days to try to see some action... nothin. Then I left and they started right up! (I get it @meladoriestar )
upcoming milestones: growth scan Monday, see OB next Friday. Start NSTs week after for GD.
Fave ice cream.... been going for vanilla- but now GD, no more :-(
