Re: ~*~ Friday Ticker Change ~*~
@ToriGirl2014 the BF class was good. It answered some of the questions I still had after our prenatal classes. The prenatal was probably my favourite though, I think because it was private so it was more personal. Plus, the doula taught me positioning for the BF'ing baby sandwich! I won't know until LO arrives and I try it out but it feels like that will be the most helpful tip I got.
Week/fruit/EDD: 31/coconut/Jan 30
Team: Pink
Updates: Had my 30w appointment yesterday and got the results from my GTT. The cutoff was 4.7, and I was 4.5!! I made it!! Also, my iron was a little low which might explain why I have been so tired. I thought it was just regular 3rd tri fatigue.
How are you feeling: Ok, all of the pleasant 3rd tri symptoms have hit the last week. Swelling in my feet, mild carpal tunnel in my hands, oh joy. At least I am still sleeping well (for now) and I have been mainly symptom free until now.
Do you need T&P's for anything: I am going for an u/s Thursday to check my placenta since I was diagnosed with a low lying placenta at my a/s. FX it has moved up! I would love to not worry about that anymore and DH would love to have my restrictions lifted as I have been on pelvic rest for the last 13w
QOTW: I can't even remember the last dream I had! I usually sleep so soundly there is no dreaming for me.

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 18 weeks, sweet potato, 5-1-15
Updates: Baby is moving more often, and with stronger movements.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. I had a good OB appointment on Monday. The doctor said baby was doing backflips in there based on what she heard on the doppler. I've had some round ligament pain this week, and the change in my shape is becoming more apparent.
Do you need T&P's for anything? My loss date is on December 3rd. I'm not sure how I will be feeling that day. My mom is visiting me, so I think that will help.
QOTW: What’s the strangest (non-PGaL) dream you’ve had during this pregnancy? I'm not really sure. There are so many, but I don't usually remember them for long.
@taberbtb - Woo Hoo for passing your GTT! You'll be in my T&P on Thursday, hope all looks well with your placenta!
@heathersf11 - So many Hugs! Loss dates are so hard. Be good to yourself! I'll be thinking of you! Getting to feel the baby move is such a exciting time! Yey for a great OB appointment!
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 9 weeks, green olive, Jul 3

@chickinNH congrats on half baked!! It made me a little teary eyed reading how thrilled and supportive your family is of this LO. I am so happy for you!!
@DenaMaree I'm glad you are happy with your decision to see a new OB. I think it's so important that us loss moms especially feel comfortable with our care providers and that our concerns are taken seriously. It makes a world of difference when dealing with PGAL brain.

@Taberbtb - Glad to hear your 30 week appt went well & that you passed your GTT! FX for a great US this week & that they lift your restrictions.
@Heathersfll - Sending you ((HUGS)) this week with your upcoming loss date. Glad to hear that LO is moving a lot & it's getting stronger.
@ChickinNH - Looks like a lot of congrats are in order.... half-baked, passing your milestone, feeling movement, & telling your families. CONGRATS!!
@DenaMaree - Glad to hear that your OB appt went well & that your finding some tricks to help with the nausea. Hopefully it eases up soon for you. That gravy sounds fantastic... I love spicy everything!
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 40/Jack Fruit/Today!
Updates: Had a sono, NST & exam Wednesday... baby girl is in position, but my cervix was still long & closed. I've been staying active & even did a little shopping this morning, mainly for the walking. DH & I are trying to help things along too. I'll have 2 appts next week (Monday & either Wednesday or Thursday) depending on whether or not I go into labor.
How are you feeling? Uncomfortable, sore, feeling pressure, getting anxious/excited about LO's arrival... I feel so thankful that I have made it to my EDD, now just ready to meet my rainbow :-)
Do you need T&P's for anything? I think I''m good!
QOTW: What’s the strangest (non-PGaL) dream you’ve had during this pregnancy? I've had some crazy ones, but most I don't remember. Lately, I've been dreaming that I've given birth in weird places... like at work & at Target haha

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 36/honeydew/ Dec. 26
Updates: I'm 2cm dilated as of earlier this week; OB thinks I'll probably go into labor between 38-39 weeks. We had out last growth scan for LO today and she's already over 6 lbs; MFM said she's good to go at any time once we hit 37 weeks (but obviously we want her to bake a little longer).
How are you feeling? Big, sore and tired. Otherwise good.
Do you need T&P's for anything? Just positive vibes as we enter into the "any time now" territory.
QOTW: I've been having a lot of dreams of either being in other people's weddings or getting married myself. The most recent dream I married a woman, but my dad didn't approve and wouldn't come to the ceremony. That was odd.
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: Twenty weeks--halfway point! Is it a banana now?
Updates: Biggest news is that movement seems pretty nonstop now. Crazy feeling!
How are you feeling? Fine! Second tri energy has finally kicked in, although I have been busy with family. Starting tomorrow I need to catch up with work!!
Do you need T&P's for anything? Nope. Next milestone is the supposed v-day, but I won't be too excited about that.
QOTW: What’s the strangest (non-PGaL) dream you’ve had during this pregnancy? I've had so many, but I don't remember them! I think the best was when I dreamed that Mr. Darcy proposed. I love my husband, but I was still giving it serious thought. ;-)

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: I'm due July 17 so I am at 7 weeks and am a blueberry
Updates: I had my ob appt on Tuesday and everything looked good. My ob wanted a dating ultrasound and I had that this morning! Great heartbeat and baby is measuring exactly for my July 17 due date!! It was so welcoming to see that little flicker today.
How are you feeling? I'm on top of the world today after my u/s. My boobs being sore and my nausea can't bother me today! We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Do you need T&P's for anything? Not at this time no.
Qotw: I don't tend to remember dreams, unless they have my dad in them (he passed away almost 5 years ago).

Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but here's the update.
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD:
7w/Blueberry/7-17-15
Updates:
Had my first u/s this morning. Everything looked great. HB was 160, and I'm measuring slightly ahead (like a couple of days). They mostly wanted to measure cervical length, so I should know later today or tomorrow what they found. I have mixed feelings about this - part of me hopes that they don't find anything out of the ordinary, but then part of me hopes that they did find something - I think so I can have a little closure with my loss in Aug. It would answer a lot of questions. It's probably a horrible thing to hope for.
How are you feeling?
Nausea has actually gotten worse. I think it's actually worse than my last pg, but I can drink water again without feeling like I'm going to hurl, so that's a plus. I just feel woozy all the time, and feel like I constantly have to be munching on something.
Do you need T&P's for anything?
Nope, I'm good
QOTW: What’s the strangest (non-PGaL) dream you’ve had during this pregnancy? I usually enjoy the craziness of my pregnancy dreams. I haven't had a ton of awesome ones yet this time around. But the most memorable one was about pickles. IRL I made a couple jars of homemade pickles for a relish tray for Thanksgiving. In my dream, my mom and dad came over to stay at our house for a couple of days while MH and I went somewhere. When we came back, they'd eaten all the pickles, and I was really upset because I wouldn't have time to make more before Thanksgiving.

@shell041783 yay for being in the home stretch!! Boring is good!! Hopefully your appointments remain boring until LO's arrival!
@ToriGirl2014 yes my midwife recommended iron supplements. I remember taking them last year after my D&C and I am NOT looking forward to it again. Thanks for the tips!
@smagglebit congrats on your scan as well!! Your dream made me laugh. For the record if it happened to me IRL I would be going all bsc on whoever ate them all!!
@JustinsGirl2011 thanks for the update!! Hopefully LO arrives before Monday

@shell041783 - Yes, we are getting so close! As for your QOTW answer ... sadly I haven't had one of those fun dreams in a long time. Your subconscious has good taste!
@smagglebit - I hope your cervical length check goes great. A strong, healthy cervix will make it a much easier ride for you. Glad the docs are so on top of things. LOL on the pickle dream.
@justinsgirl2011 - I have to laugh - we all get so geared up for EDD, and then LOs all have a mind of their own! I know you must be so uncomfortable, though. I have FX that you start laboring before Monday to avoid the induction!!!
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 16 weeks today ( little late to the party but was out of town)
Updates: Not much here....just chugging along.
How are you feeling? Tired and hungry pretty much 24/7.
Do you need T&P's for anything? Hubby is deploying soon and I don't know how to do this stuff without him. He's been making things so easy on me since he's been home. Not ready to say goodbye.
