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?
32 weeks, squash!
How are you feeling?
Like I can hardly wait to meet this baby. I'm 8 weeks away and I'm ready, but want baby to stay in as long as possible at the same time.
Favorite moment of the week?
Seeing my mom and grandma for Thanksgiving. It's been awhile since we've all been together for a holiday and it was fun.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Getting in a stupid fight with MH last night.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Leg cramping has gotten a little better this week, but the swelling has gotten worse. I'm having more heartburn, but it's usually helped by taking Tums.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm doing ok. Baby is rocking the kick counts that I've been doing as long as I wait until after I eat dinner. I'm trying to keep the negative thoughts out of my head.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I have my next prenatal appointment on 11/4.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite Thanksgiving Day food?
My mom's creamed corn is so delicious! It's very buttery and creamy, but since I only have it maybe twice a year, I love to indulge.
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? 18 weeks/ sweet potato
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. Pregnancy insomnia has kicked in so mostly tired and unmotivated.
Favorite moment of the week? My favorite moment of the week was when DS asked me out of the blue as we were getting ready for bed "Momma will these pajamas make me pretty like you?" It made me cry. He's just so sweet!
Least favorite moment of the week? My aunt had a fall on black friday and ended up in the ER with a major concussion. She seems to be doing much better now but it was pretty scary at first.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Symptoms are a little better. Still tired (due to pregnancy insomnia), and some RLP. Nothing really new this week.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I've been doing alright lately.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? A/S scan and Dr apt on 12-11 and 12-12.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite Thanksgiving Day food? I absolutely love my grandma's pumpkin pie smothered in whip cream... mmmmmm.... and the mashed potatoes and gravy this year were A-MA-ZING!

Feeling so over being pregnant. Had a false alarm Friday night with contractions for 8 hours, down to 2-3 minutes apart by the last few hours = no change. They sent me home and it's been back to the BH pattern since.
Had my 38wks appt today and kiddo looks good and I have since progressed to 3cm and 70% effaced.
As of 3pm today, I am more pregnant than I have ever been.
Favorite thanksgiving food is probably pumpkin pie.
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 39 weeks. Watermelon!??!
How are you feeling?
Like I'm 39 weeks pregnant. Mostly I'm okay, but tired and slow and eager for baby girl to make her appearance.
Favorite moment of the week?
Thanksgiving was very sweet last week since my ILs hosted but my brother and his wife (also pregnant!) came too. It meant a lot to me to have people from both sides of the family.
Least favorite moment of the week?
Not sleeping. I seem to max out at 4-5 hours. It's a mix of being uncomfortable, having heartburn, etc.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm doing pretty well, but I'm nervous about delivery. I just want baby girl to be safe and okay.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
Baby's birth! Any day now, right? I have another check up today, but I'm not really expecting any progress. I've been at 1 cm & 60% effaced for a couple of weeks, and nothing new has been happening yet.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite Thanksgiving Day food?
especially on mashed potatoes.
Gravy!
Thanks @luciddreamer106 I'm hanging in there mentally and physically this week
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 11 weeks resembling a key lime
How are you feeling? Optimistic
Favorite moment of the week? Telling my 9 y.o. niece on Thanksgiving that she finally gets to be a cousin. I wanted to wait a little longer, but won't be seeing her again until after the baby is born.
Least favorite moment of the week? My little dog with a sensitive tummy stole a small thing of my oles from Taco Johns (if you don't know Taco Johns Oles, they are really greasy tater tots) last night and he woke me up 3 times in the middle of the night to go out... very happy he woke me up though!!
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? MS is more in waves instead of constant still, and some times I have energy now! I have been having some sharp pains in my lower abdomen that are not gas or cramps... I'm contributing it to things moving around and am not too worried at this point... and I'm peeing like crazy.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I'm hanging in there mentally, but am getting a little more uneasy since it's been a few weeks since we checked in on the baby.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I have my NT scan/ 12 week appointment next wed on 12/10, and as it approaches I find myself getting a bit nervous.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite Thanksgiving Day food? Mashed potatoes and gravy

@GrailSeeker14 I'm excited for you to start feeling kicks. It's the most magical feeling in the world.
@mrsblack11 I hope you have a wonderful ultrasound tomorrow. Glad the second tri is starting off well.
@luciddreamer106 I'm glad you had a wonderful holiday with your family.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? Plum - 12 weeks!
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!) Couple more weeks for that yet.
How are you feeling? Meh. I'm feeling sick a lot. I didn't have this with my other pregnancy so it's kind of a surprise. Hopefully that just means that everything is growing the way it's supposed to.
Favorite moment of the week? Hopefully tonight! We have an appointment and I've been waiting for it ever since I caught a the stupid flu a few weeks ago. Just want to see the heartbeat and be reassured that all is well.
Least favorite moment of the week? Looking up "how to announce a rainbow baby" on pinterest and finding a sculpture of a woman laying down on her side with an angel baby lying on her pregnant stomach. It was meant to symbolize the lost baby looking out for the mom and the new baby. It surprised me and I started bawling in bed last night.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Status quo for the most part.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Still haven't told anyone so I guess you can say that it's got a hold on me unfortunately. We're going to be waiting a while.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? Today!
GTKY: Favorite Thanksgiving food: ALL of it!! I literally could eat like that everyday!
How are you feeling? Overall okay. Just anxious for the next few weeks to fly by so I can see if bean is progressing. I'm not the most patient person
Favorite moment of the week? Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday. Even though I hosted and was exhausted I always enjoy cooking for my family.
Least favorite moment of the week? Nothing really.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Nausea the past few days has been better. So has my heartburn. Those two combined bring in unwanted thoughts. My breast have started to swell and fatigue is whooping my butt!
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I've been keeping myself in check until lunch when I started getting a dull backache. Now I can't distract myself.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I'm waiting out the next two weeks until my first appointment. 12/15 can't come soon enough. I'm becoming a nervous wreck.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite Thanksgiving Day food? Usually mashed potatoes and stuffing. This year nothing sounded appeasing. Attributing it to the nausea.

How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 33 weeks- Durian (which I have never heard of)
How are you feeling? Feeling larger and larger. Had to stop wearing regular socks and most of my jeans because they were bad for my circulation.
Favorite moment of the week? Had a pretty good week last week. I got out and hiked every day of the week and that really felt great.
Least favorite moment of the week? One of my best friends experienced her first loss. I am just heartbroken for her. Im trying to offer her as much support as possible.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? Like I said above about the change in wardrobe. Baby is still extremely active to where it gets uncomfortable at times with how big he is but I am trying to enjoy every moment. The eye swelling is getting ridiculous. No amount of the caffeine stuff I put on it seems to help.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? I have felt kinda strange lately. Like I'm realizing this is coming so fast and that I might actually get to meet my little guy but I am still having problems releasing the feelings that something bad is going to happen.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? I have appointments nest week and the week after (due to no Dr at Christmas) that are just normal appointments but at my 37 week they will do an ultrasound to check fluid and position and what not. I am very excited to see him!
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
What is your favorite Thanksgiving Day food? Of course the pie. I would be happy if the meal was drinks, apps and then pie

12/15 Checkup & heard his beautiful heartbeat
ALL WELCOME -
luciddreamer106 – Thanks for the check in! I am feeling the same way with wanting baby to be here and healthy but also wanting him to cook as long as he needs too. 8 weeks is going to fly by! I know the time has been flying by for me.
mrskblack11 – So awesome you got your doppler and were able to find baby right away. I was too chicken to get an at home one and little one always hid from them anyways that early on. Sending lots of T&Ps for a great ultrasound.
GrailSeeker14 – yay for feeling baby kick!! That is so exciting! I have been having the same struggle with people asking for my xmas list and I just want to get more baby stuff taken care of.
Courtney1741 – Sorry you are dealing with insomnia. Mine has been off and on but I am usually up from about 3-5 and then waking up at 7 is hell. I hope that your aunt is doing better now, falls like that are always scary.
haleyusf – I hope that things start to progress for you. I can only imagine what everything feels like at 38 weeks as I feel like I’m getting stretched pretty far just at 33.
megbmeg – So exciting baby girl will be here anytime now. Sending lots of T&P your way for a smooth delivery and healthy baby and mamma.
matiekae – Sending lots of T&P your way for a great 12 weeks scan.

yndz333 – Sending lots of T&P your way for a great appointment tonight.
uromys – yay for great betas!

@GrailSeeker14 Yay for feeling more kicks and being halfway there! It’s a pretty awesome milestone.
@Courtney1741 I hope your aunt continues to do well, that’s scary. What a sweet little guy you have!
@haleyusf Sorry for the false alarm, that’s so frustrating.
@megbmeg What a cute watermelon! haha Sending good progression vibes your way.
@matiekae How nice of your dog to warn you and take his business outside. Keep repeating the mantras until your u/s. That’s what kept me going through those waits between early appointments.
@meladoriestar Good luck with your GTT! Yay for YH and mom feeling outside movement!
@lyndz333 Good luck at your appointment today!
@uromys Remember that it’s normal for your symptoms to go up and down, especially in the beginning. Hang in there.
@samanthalaura16 I’m glad you had a great week. I’m sorry to hear about your friend. She’s lucky to have a supportive and kind friend right now.
ETA: @birch113 Sorry to hear that you had the scare, but I'm so glad that everything turned out ok. I hope that was your one and only episode of weird vision.

@grailseeker14 Happy half-baked!! And hooray for feeling the first kicks. Yay!
@courtney1741 I'm with you on the mashed potatoes. I could've eaten them ALL!
@haleyusf What an absolutely exhausting experience so far. I hope the progress keeps up and doesn't stop!
@matiekae Waiting for appointments is definitely hard. I hope the time goes by quickly and your NT scan is really reassuring.
@lyndz333 Sorry about all the MS! I hope your appt was really reassuring.
@uromys I'm so sorry about all the anxiety. It is so hard to wait and to deal with all the worry. I hope 12/15 is here before you know it, and you get great news
@samanthalaura16 Wow, a hike everyday! Sounds lovely. I am so sorry to hear about your friend's loss. How are you doing with it?
@birch113 I'm glad you were able to enjoy Thanksgiving. I hope you're still feeling okay!
@officedronette Aw, so sweet about your happy family time!
