Re: Pregnant after loss (PGAL) check-in 11/24
2. When is your next appointment? December 12th
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Okay. I feel very pregnant and am excited for June to come, but I keep getting twinges of fear that there won't be a heartbeat at my next appointment.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Having an excuse for being a party pooper. I'm so tired all of the time! My family came over for dinner and cake on Friday for my birthday and honestly they stayed way later than I would have liked, but I had no guilt in telling them that I was dead tired and ready for bed.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? Candied yams! Only when my mom and I make them though. Canned are no good and I don't like them mushed and served like a casserole.
2. When is your next appointment? Today! No scan, just a dr visit.
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Right now, it's ok. Had a great scan last week. Dr says everything looks totally normal.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? We got to see our little bean jumping and flipping all around last week. That was pretty amazing.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? The dressing. Yum!
2. Dec 1st
3. Fine, I guess. Feeling LO move around definitely helps.
4. Anytime I get to use the pregnancy card
5. I can only pick one? I love turkey with gravy, stove top stuffing (I just found out last year what's in the "real" stuffing. No freaking thank you), and pumpkin pie. I like to make mini pumpkin pies because they're so damn cute and easy to make.
2. When is your next appointment? This Wednesday for my NT scan. Disappointed that DH can't get off work to go
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? It's getting a little better now that I've found the heartbeat with my doppler. Just anxious for Wednesday!
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? When I'm having a good stomach day, eating.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? the dish that's holding all of my delicious food.
BFP#2: 10/4/14 EDD: 6/7/15 DD born 6/4/15💕
BFP#3: 12/24/19 EDD: 9/6/20
2. When is your next appointment? tomorrow- NT scan
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? pretty good since I had a really good scan last week and had the nicest tech ever who spent the time with me to watch the baby bounce around and see that little heart beating away.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Last week I announced to my kids- they are over the moon and I love how adorable their excitement is! Now I am impatiently waiting for my test results from the harmony test!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? all of them!!! but if I had to pick one it would be, sweet potato casserole with pecans and marshmallows- yummmmm
2. When is your next appointment? Not until 12/8.
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Constant fear. This is the furthest we've gotten (other than our DD) so that helps a little. I'll feel better after my next appointment. I'll get to see and hear them again.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Starting to show a little helps. Two babies makes it go a little faster I guess!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? Gravy. I loooooove gravy. But only on turkey. I'm weird like that.
2. When is your next appointment? Tomorrow
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? I was doing well, but with my appointment tomorrow I'm starting to freak out again.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? I'm starting to be able to eat a little bit more. I'm hoping I can enjoy at least a few of the foods on Thanksgiving.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? All the foods! Turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, stuffing, pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, all of it! I'll seriously cry if I can't handle eating that day.
2. When is your next appointment? Just had one this am. Then an appt with MFM on Dec 16th is next.
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Pretty well. We're past the point where our first baby stopped growing, so that helps.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Seeing baby again this morning. He/she doesn't look like a seahorse anymore!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? My MIL's stuffing balls!
2. When is your next appointment? 12/1 for NT us
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Better as each day goes by, but still...that residual fear that this is too good to be true. Can't wait to see if hitting 12 (or 13 or 14) weeks helps.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Thinking of silly ways to announce to my boss/co-workers (like putting in a request for O'Douls on the weekly grocery order whiteboard in the kitchen).
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? Usually dressing, but I have a feeling that with my new all-carbs-all-the-time diet, mashed potatoes will be a close contender for this year's fave.
2. When is your next appointment? Dec 2nd
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? It get's better as time goes on and after being able to hear the baby's heartbeat last week...but, I still worry all of the time.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Being able to hear the heartbeat
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? Mash Potatoes. I haven't been able to eat potatoes lately but I think I might be able to now.
2. When is your next appointment? 12/8
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Better. I'm feeling so crappy that it's reassuring.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Planning to tell my parents when we arrive in town Wednesday! We were so concerned last time after our loss, we didn't do any silly reveals but we're planning one this time. A shirt for DD.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? This is so hard! Probably pumpkin pie.
2. When is your next appointment? 12/29.....SO far away!
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Really good right now! I had my appointment on Thursday and saw our little nugget measuring right on time with a great heartrate of 172! I'm sure now that I have to wait until after Christmas, I'll get the PGAL brain back.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Talking baby names with DH.
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? Green bean casserole!

I am pretty excited to share and read your updates ladies!
1. 8 weeks, 6 days! (Due June 30)
2. My next appointment is tomorrow.
3. After a positive ultrasound last week, I feel more calm. This pregnancy I haven't been sick at all and I have gained 15 pounds already despite eating well and exercising so that keeps throwing me off. I've never not experienced morning sickness.
4. Not experiencing morning sickness! Ultrasound showed a healthy and happy baby so I will take it and enjoy it!
5. I'm in Canada so we already had Thanksgiving but my favorite dish is the turkey!
2. When is your next appointment? Tomorrow for our prenatal interview.
3. How is PGAL brain treating you? It's been okay for the past couple of weeks, and now with our appointment tomorrow, I'm absolutely terrified there won't be a heartbeat anymore. I've got everything crossed while saying every prayer possible, but the fear is definitely there.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? DH and I told my dad and stepmom last night. My dad's officially been a grandpa for a week now (my nephew was born last week!) and he's completely obsessed with the new role, so he's thrilled to be getting another grandbaby!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? My grandmother's sweet potatoes. Fresh, not mashed, no marshmellows. Just cubed and cooked in a cast iron skillet with some butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a little nutmeg. This year will be tough, she passed this past March right before our wedding. No one else's are the same! Oh, and cornbread dressing!

3. How is PGAL brain treating you?
It's getting better. I finally forget to check for any bleeding everytime I go to the bathroom. I'm finally excited now that we passed "the scary part" and are finally in the 2nd trimester
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)?
My hubs excitement. I catch him staring at my belly and sometimes at night I'll overhear him talking to belly. It warms my heart more then imaginable

1. How far along are you?

Tomorrow! I'm really nervous and am praying that it will go well. We already saw the heartbeat 2 1/2 weeks ago. I'm hoping it will be even stronger this time!
3. How is PGAL brain treating you?
Paranoid - I'm checking my underwear every time I go to the bathroom. I just want to get through this first trimester like everyone else and maybe I'll breathe easier.
4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)?
My husband has been making awesome and delicious and healthy dinners and even made me a fancy mocktail with a homemade raspberry reduction. And he's my daily reminder to take my prenatal!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish?
Hands down, the stuffing inside the turkey. Oh my god, I can't wait.

Not healthy, not happy, and not giving me the strength to get to next week. I'm so scared of next week. Scared of MC, and scared of a healthy baby. Just, so scared

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy(other than being pregnant)? Upcoming vacation for DD's birthday in 12 days!
5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? It depends where we go for Thanksgiving, this year to my grandmas so her stuffing and mashed potatoes/gravy! Mmmmmmmm

5. GTKY: What's your favorite thanksgiving dish? Sweet Potatos
Our next appointment is on Dec 10 to hear the heartbeat for the first time and suffer my first post holiday weigh in (hate it!).
My PGAL brain is a little rough right now. We found out we lost our last pregnancy at 10 weeks, though the baby looked as though it didn't develop past six weeks. I was on progesterone so I was holding on to the pregnancy until I stopped the pills. I'm fighting the feelings and reminding myself that we've already seen a heartbeat at eight weeks, so I'm doing my best to remain positive.
My pregnancy joy right now is that we're telling my family the good news when we're home for thanksgiving. I'm excited to see their reactions.
My favorite dish for thanksgiving is hard to nail down. I love it all. Especially that perfect bite, a combination of turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy and a little stuffing. It's like a party in my mouth. I hope my nausea takes a break for this meal. My morning sickness usually is the worst in the evening.
Happy thanksgiving to all of you wonderful ladies!!
