smagglebit · December 2014

Thanks for the check-in @ToriGirl2014. The nausea is getting a little easier to handle. This week I've been making sure to keep crackers at my desk so that I have something to munch on. It seems like it isn't so bad as long as I've got something to snack on.

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 8 weeks/raspberry/7-17-15

Updates: None really. I have my "intake" appointment with my OB next Wednesday. I'll probably get to have a quick scan of my little raspberry, so I'm looking forward to that

How are you feeling?

I've been pretty tired this week. Worked half a day yesterday, came home, took a nap, and then still went to bed around 9:30pm

Do you need T&P's for anything? None, thanks

QOTW: Any goals or resolutions for the coming new year?

I'd really like to get on top of house cleaning. MH and I have gotten so lazy in the past few years. We usually just come home from work and crash on the couch. With a baby coming home next year, I really want to start some better cleaning habits.

ToriGirl2014 · December 2014

AFM ...

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 37/winter melon/ Dec. 26

Updates: Everything's looking right on track. Had my first false labor scare last night, which was interesting ... BH-like contractions every few minutes for about an hour before it stopped. On the GD side, my MFM said I was doing so well that I'm down to testing 3 days per week, which is great news for my sore fingers.

How are you feeling? Tired and sore and large. Stabby crotch is my current demon. Otherwise, feeling pretty good. Baby hasn't slowed down movements at all and continues to be hyper.

Do you need T&P's for anything? T&Ps my hemoglobin looks good at my hematologist appointment today. Also T&Ps that baby cooks at least another week or two in there.

QOTW: Any goals or resolutions for the coming new year? I'd like to run in my first 10k by the end of next year... no time goal, just to finish one and to call it an actual "run".

tigerlynx31413 · December 2014

Good morning ladies!

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 8 weeks/raspberry/ 7/17

Updates:

Not too much. My next appt isn't until Dec 22

How are you feeling?

I'm currently feeling great about this pregnancy. I have quite a bit of nausea that is keeping my PgAL brain at bay. Other things in my life are driving me batty.

Do you need T&P's for anything?

Sorry this might get long, but I'll try to keep it short. My company is being acquired by a competitor and our company is closing as of next Friday. A bunch of us are waiting to hear if we are getting an offer of employment with the new company, but we may not know until Wednesday. I just applied for 8 positions with them this morning hoping to get on with them. So any prayers that I get an offer by next week or the not so distant future would be greatly appreciated. That being said, if I am MIA at any point it is because I will be focusing on finding a job before my pregnancy gets too obvious to interview.

QOTW: Any goals or resolutions for the coming new year? Get a new job.

DenaMaree · December 2014

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 10 weeks, prune, Jul 3

Updates: I'm excited, but sad that today will be our exit ultrasound with the RE! It's been a wild and busy two years with his guidance, assistance, and dedication to getting us pregnant and then keep us that way. I'm both excited and nervous to change his number from speed dial to our OB!

How are you feeling? I finally caved last week and called the OB for a prescription of zofran. I was at a point were I wasn't functioning well in the evenings and never keeping my dinner's down. I can definitely notice a difference, but still have some nausea. No vomiting which makes the zofran gold to me!

Do you need T&P's for anything? Today we get to do a ten week exit ultrasound with the RE. I had spotting on Tuesday that gave us a bit of a scare but we decided we wouldn't cry wolf and I just continued to take it easy. It was minor but various times through out the day and was only Tuesday. I haven't had any since. Just hoping/praying it was nothing!

QOTW: Any goals or resolutions for the coming new year? I've dabbled in writing a book and was making pretty good progress until It stopped. I would love to find the energy and motivation to complete the book, even if I never pursue actually getting it published!

DenaMaree · December 2014

@smagglebit Woo Hoo for getting the nausea under control! Hope you get a sneak peek of the LO next week at your appointment!

@ToriGirl2014 I can't believe how close you are! I'm so happy for you that all is on track. Sorry about those scary BH, hopefully they take it easy on you. Woo Hoo for keeping your GD managed!! FX all continues to stay on track for you!

@shell041783 Ah..love that you got to sneak a peak at your precious little one. I hope time continues to move along quickly for you! Get all the rest you can now, once your LO arrives its many sleepless nights. Totally worth it, but definitely exhausting

@kristyW13 YEY for your first ultrasound. So magical!! I'm glad you've figured out how to manage nausea with small frequent meals. Hope it all continues to take it easy on you!

@tigerlynx31413 I'm so glad your able to see the nausea as reassurance. I'd imagine it makes dealing with the nausea more manageable. Good Luck with the possible job change!! Hope you don't have to wait too long to hear something!

kaynix21 · December 2014

ToriGirl2014 thanks for the check in. I'm currently dreading what's coming but keep telling myself that maybe they'll let him come home when the baby is born.....so it will be much shorter. Maybe.

How far along are you? 17 weeks - an onion (not a fruit!) May 15

Updates: Nothing new - have our second genetic screening on Monday so hoping all will go well. And I guess we can find out if we want at that u/s if baby is cooperating? I still want to be team green but DH is pretty desperate to know what the LO is.....so since he's leaving soon I feel like I might cave and go along with it to make him extra happy.

How are you feeling? Ok. I want to eat 24/7 all of a sudden...but nothing sounds good.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Just that I make it through the next bit for when DH goes. At least he looks hot in uniform lol.

QOTW: Any goals or resolutions for the coming new year? I haven't thought this far ahead yet.

scrang74 · December 2014

Thanks for doing this check-in @ToriGirl2014! I;m excited to join you guys
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 5 weeks; a seed actually-sesame seed; Aug 7, 2015

Updates: I finally got the 1st beta results yesterday when I went in for the 2nd blood draw. 17dpo:483; progesterone 25.9, so looking good with that. 2nd betas are "supposed" to be ready today but I'm not holding my breath!! The spotting that started Tuesday stopped by Wednesday afternoon - really trying to stay calm if it appears again.

How are you feeling? Pretty good. I'm tired a lot, naps in the afternoon before work and early to bed at night. I'm feeling stretching and pulling in my tummy, and sore breasts on and off throughout the days. I'm finding it more comfortable to sleep on my back at this point.

Do you need any T&P's for anything? Not really. The support I got here for that spotting "crisis" I went through earlier in the week was wonderful...THANKS!

I feel a little silly for freaking out, and realize now that the next 8 months are going to be full of surprises and strange feelings, so I need to take it one day at a time and stay positive.

QOTW: DH and I are planning to list our condo in January. Hopefully it will sell fast and we can find a house...the thought of more space makes me giddy with anticipation! Our wedding gifts are all in stoarge til then; I'm looking forward to a 2nd "Christmas" opening those boxes at some point in the new year!

kj808 · December 2014

Thanks for the checkin @ToriGirl2014! Hope all of you lovely ladies are doing well today. TGIF!!

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 17 weeks / onion / May 15

Updates: We have the second part of our sequential screening on Wednesday so i'm excited for that and if all goes well we'll be able to find out what we're having! Not much to report other than that. Luckily i've had a pretty uneventful past few weeks.

How are you feeling? Pretty good, just some back aches and pains that radiate into my butt area but it's not too bad. Also my belly is definitely getting bigger so I can feel my posture changing.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Just that all goes well at our scan on Wednesday!

smagglebit · December 2014

UPDATE: I just got a call from one of the nurses at my OB's office. She said that the doctor had reviewed my ultrasound images, and that they'd found a small amount of fluid in the opening of my uterus. She said it's not an emergency, and that they want to do a follow up u/s at 12 weeks to keep an eye on it. Has anyone ever heard of this before? She was trying to make it sound like no big deal, and that I shouldn't worry, but I'm a little nervous now.

ToriGirl2014 · December 2014

@smagglebit – don’t worry about being tired. Get the sleep while you can! I just saw your dr update and unfortunately I don’t have any experience to share – just (((hugs))) and T&Ps that it’s nothing.

@shell041783 – I am right there with you about the cleaning habits. I’ve been slowly cleaning out closets over the last couple of weeks. It feels pretty good to purge.

@kistyw13 – what an awesome u/s. That must feel so good. Congrats! T&Ps for next Friday; that must be so hard.

@tigerlynx31413 – (((hugs))) and fx for you that the new company picks you up ASAP. I can’t imagine going through that while pregnant.

@denamaree – congrats on your exit ultrasound! I remember mine well – it felt so good to graduate! Celebrate if you can!

@kaynix21 – (((hugs))) lady. I hope the time YH is away flies by.

@scrang74 – Welcome to the check-in! Don’t worry about PGaL freakouts – that’s what we’re here for!

@kj808 – GL with your sequential screen! So exciting! Keep us updated on the “team” news. J

scrang74 · December 2014

***UPDATE***

2nd betas actually came in, I was so surprised! 19dpo: 858, so just under being doubled. My doc said she liked the numbers, so I will too!

She said I could come in for an early ultrasound in about 1 1/2 weeks if I want to, but I think I'm just going to let it go til after the holidays.

taberbtb · December 2014

@smagglebit‌ I hear you on the house cleaning. I have totally been slacking on it lately. Sorry I have no advice on the fluid seen in the u/s but I suppose if your OB wasn't worried about checking on it for 4 more weeks, hopefully it's not something for you to worry about.

@ToriGirl2014‌ awesome job with your GD! How did your appointment with the hematologist go?

@shell041783‌ sounds like LO is all ready! I would love for this baby to drop and get a break from the heartburn even if only temporary.

@DenaMaree‌ I'm glad the zofran is helping you. Hopefully that is the last you will see of the spotting and PgAL brain can relax.

@kaynix21‌ sorry about YH's upcoming deployment. FX he gets to come back early since LO will be making their arrival.

@scrang74‌ congrats and welcome! GL with your second beta, your first one sounds like. Great starting point!

@kj808‌ yay! Good luck at your scan, I can't wait for you to find out whether you are having a girl or a boy!

taberbtb · December 2014

Week/fruit/EDD: 32/squash/Jan 30

Team: Pink! Also, I think DH and I have finally decided on a name for baby T - Brooke Johanna!

Updates: I had another u/s this week to check the position of my placenta since I had been told at my a/s it was low-lying and was given a bunch of restrictions. Good news, it has moved up and is no longer a concern!!

How are you feeling? Physically not too bad. However I am starting to struggle with the changes of leaving my job and being at home. I will still be working until the new year, but I am just somebody who doesn't like change and is very social. I hope I can handle being alone and don't get overwhelmed. Either way I am going to try not to worry about it yet.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Not right now!

QOTW: I am very Type A personality so with our first LO coming in the new year I am trying to learn to let things go. I realize having a baby in the house is a learning curve and am trying to come to peace with the fact that not everything will get done in a day with a newborn (laundry, house cleaning, etc.). I will not be able to control everything and that's ok.

smagglebit · December 2014

Thanks for your responses @taberbtb and @ToriGirl2014

I'm trying not to get too worried about it, but I keep thinking about what the fluid there could possibly mean, and it's starting to freak me out a little. I'm taking deep breaths and trying to focus my thoughts on other things. I have an appt. scheduled with my doctor next Wed, so I'll be sure to bombard him with all the questions then.

heathersf11 · December 2014

@smagglebit I’m glad you are feeling a little bit better this week.

@ToriGirl2014 I’m glad your GD is getting better.

@shell041783 Yay for baby being head down!

@kistyW13 I’ll be thinking of you this week as your EDD approaches. (((Hugs)))

@tigerlynx31413 FX that you get a job offer this week!

@DenaMaree I’m glad the Zofran is working for you.

@kaynix21 FX that your appointment goes well on Monday!

@scrang74 FX that the fluid turns out to be nothing to worry about.

@kj808 FX that your appointment on Wednesday goes well!

@taberbtb I hope you are able to adjust to being at home.

heathersf11 · December 2014

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 19 weeks, mango, 5-1-14

Updates: Baby is moving a lot this week. It seems to happen mostly after I eat something. I told the staff at work this week about the pregnancy. Surprisingly, many of them had no idea. I have my a/s on Friday. We should find out which team we are on, and also get the results of the sequential screening.

How are you feeling? I am feeling pretty good. My Snoogle pillow has really helped with relieving my hip pain. I am not naturally a side sleeper.

Do you need T&P's for anything? I'm feeling okay. Thanks for the T&P's this past week. Having my mom around for my loss anniversary really helped, as did the positive thoughts.

QOTW: Any goals or resolutions for the coming new year? Maybe to be more organized.

ToriGirl2014 · December 2014

@scrang74 – Congrats on the great betas!

@taberbtb – Congrats on the previa clearing up!! That is certainly a relief. I too am worried about being at home alone for the last couple of weeks. We’ll have to come up with some coping strategies.

Thanks for asking about my hemo appointment. Shockingly my hemoglobin went up for the first time since I was about 5 months along. This makes me feel a bit better about counting down to L&D since I have some extra stores in there. J

@heathersf11 – My LO moves a lot after I eat, too, even at 37 weeks. Keep us updated about your test results!
