Good morning ladies & Happy Friday!

If you are new to PgAL and your ticker changes on Friday...please hop right in! We'd love to have you!
Congratulations to @JustinsGirl2011 on your sweet baby Peyton June! We’d love to hear an update when you’re back in the swing of things!

I'm hoping to have one more ticker change check-in before LO comes, but in the meantime, is anyone interested in taking over as check-in leader? It could be as early as next week since my OB doesn't think I'll make it to 40w.

Re: ~*~ Friday Ticker Change ~*~
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 38/pumpkin/ Dec. 26
Updates: I'm dilated to 3cm and OB says I will probably have this LO by about 39 weeks. So I'm definitely in the home stretch here! With that in mind, anybody have an interest in taking over as check-in leader? I hope to be here next week, but who knows! Also, today's my last day of work, so I'm really excited (shame on me for bumping during my last work day
)
How are you feeling? Large, sore and tired mostly. LO is getting really big and I am so excited to meet her.
Do you need T&P's for anything? T&Ps for progression this week, and (if needed) for a safe and healthy delivery.
QOTW: What are some baby items you registered for that you are most excited about? I'm at the tail end here, but my nursery is elephant themed, and I am in love with this green Carter's elephant lamp. It's so stinking cute!
AFM,
Updates: Nothing doin'. I'm 22 weeks today, and this little girl is active! It's lovely, but still a super weird feeling.
How are you feeling? Fine.
I've been fighting off a touch of cold this week, but it's minor. Otherwise all is good on my end.
Do you need T&P's for anything? In the next week and a half I have to grade about 600 pages of student papers. I could really use some t&p for that!!!
QOTW: What are some baby items you registered for that you are most excited about?
My registry doesn't have the fun stuff on it, as it's very practical--breast feeding supplies, sheets, towels, Nose Frida, etc. I was talking with work colleagues last night about the possibility of a shower, and we discussed the idea of doing a book shower. I'm thrilled about this. The hope would be that everyone will buy a book or two that meant something to them, and tell us a little about it. This could be anything from the cloth books for infants to longer books DH and I could read to them later. I really hope this happens!!!
***Losses mentioned.*** TTC #1 since May 2012. Me: 37, OH: 41. Ectopic August 2012 => tubal damage.
@ToriGirl2014 yay for LO arriving sooner rather than later. This is my Christmas wish this year…not to end up over due. How exciting to have your baby girl here for Christmas!!
Week/fruit/EDD: 33/durian fruit/Jan 30
Updates: My midwife appointment got rescheduled from yesterday which sucks because I had some questions for her. Maybe you ladies can help me out. I have been having some menstrual-like cramping off and on and pain in my belly but I notice it 99% of the time after feeling LO move. I am not overly worried since I associate ir with fetal movement, should I be calling or I am probably ok to wait for my next appt to ask? I'm only 33w, but only 5ft tall. I feel pregnant from my vag to my throat. LO is already out of room!!
Any T&P's? Other than above I'm generally pretty good!
QOTW: I was so excited for the travel system I registered for that I received at my shower last Sunday!! It is so nice but also besides having the crib, getting the car seat/stroller was the next "this baby is real" item on the list. Once we have it installed it will be even more real!!
TTC Since 04/01/13

*~*~* All AL Welcome*~*~*
@pblge - I would be grateful if you could take over for a few weeks. That would be awesome!
I don't think the lamp is available in my color scheme anymore, but this is a brown and green version (mine is gray and green) - https://www.amazon.com/Carters-Green-Elephant-Lamp-Shade/dp/B0026O7718/ref=sr_1_4?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1418399651&sr=1-4&keywords=carter+green+elephant
GL with all the paper grading!
Also I love the idea of a book shower. I bought several books for LO as her first Christmas gift and am looking forward to building her library.
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 9 weeks/green olive/7-17-15
Updates: Got in to see my OB yesterday to ask about the fluid. He said basically they don't and can't really know at this point the significance of the fluid. He said that most likely it's a small amount of blood, and that it could work its way out (and cause spotting), or reabsorb. I'm hoping for the reabsorption. I'm pretty sure spotting would freak me out. I also asked about my cervical length, and he said right now everything looks good - cervix is long and closed. FX that it stays that way.
How are you feeling? I've been starving all. the. time! I had a whole small pizza the other day, and still felt hungry after eating it. This morning I had a breakfast and less than an hour later I was having 2nd breakfast. DH has been calling me a hobbit. Nausea is still making appearances, but I feel like it's gotten better over the past couple of weeks.
Do you need T&P's for anything? I think I'm good, thanks!
QOTW: What are some baby items you registered for that you are most excited about? I haven't registered for anything yet. It's too early for me to be thinking about a registry, and I honestly don't know when I'll feel "safe" to do it. I'm trying really hard to be excited for this LO, but I'm still constantly worrying that I'll get my heart broken again. DH has been keeping me positive though - he doesn't let me use "if." When he hears me say things like "if this baby...." or "if I make it that far..." he makes me rephrase what I said using "when." So grateful for him!
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD:
9 weeks/green olive/July 17
Updates:
Nothing new to report. I have blood work and a glucose test on Monday and the following Monday is my next appt.
How are you feeling?
Still nauseous, but thankful for the daily reminder of this little one growing.
Do you need T&P's for anything?
I have a job interview on Tuesday so positive thoughts are welcomed!

My Chart
All are Welcome!
@taberbtb –I feel like this whole process is full of aches and pains and just about anything is expected, but at the same time if you’re concerned you need to call. Glad LO is feeling more real to you now that you’ve got the big items purchased. J
@shell041783 – makes me feel better that I’m not the only one who feels like baby’s trying to make a break for it with all the kicking and pushing. Good for you for turning down the pelvic exam – every week I want to say no because I know I’ll read too much into it, but every week I find myself too curious.
@scrang74 – haha! I can’t imagine crying at an episode of Star Trek (I’ve seen all of TNG … not too many emotional things happening there). I’ll have to tell MH that one. He’ll crack up.
@smagglebit – at least this news means if you have some spotting you can rest a little easier. Don’t worry about registering until you’re more comfortable. For me, I waited until my A/S to let myself do it; I don’t regret it.
@tigerlynx31413 – GL with the glucose test on Monday & the job interview.
@pblge – P.S. - I had to look up Nose Frida … didn’t know what that was. I registered for the old school aspirator b/c that thing grossed me out – it just looks like a straw to me!
How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 18 weeks, bell pepper I think? May 15
Updates: We had our a/s on Wednesday. I'm SO HAPPY to say that baby looks perfect! 10 little fingers and 10 little toes, brain looks normal, all organs and body parts look great, no cleft lip, nuchal fold looks good (we'll get blood test results soon). I'm SO thankful for all of this wonderful news. And also, we're TEAM BLUE! We're excited to be adding another boy to our little family! We got some great photos and videos of baby and I just love looking at him.
How are you feeling? After the a/s scan i'm feeling better than ever emotionally. Seeing our baby in so much detail has given me so much peace of mind and now I have such a positive outlook moving forward. I know anything can happen between now and May but right now i'm very happy. Physically it's getting difficult to sleep! I toss and turn more than ever now. Luckily I have a good pg pillow so that helps. The best thing lately is that i've been feeling my little guy moving around in there every day. I've been looking forward to this time and it's so special!
Do you need T&P's for anything? not at the moment.
QOTW: What are some baby items you registered for that you are most excited about?
I don't have a registry really but I have bought a few things already. I'm very excited about the new car seat and the little lounger that we bought. I'm still waiting for our stroller to come in but i'm super excited about that too.

BFP#2: 10/22/14 | (beta #1 75, beta # 2 219) | EDD 7/3/15 ~*Please be our RAINBOW*~
A little about me: I am a former TTCALer. I was Dx with PCOS and Hypothyroidism by my RE in April. We started having medicated cycles with TI in May, where I got my first BFP, but this ended up being a CP. We continued with medicated TI until September where we had our first IUI.
The IUI gave me my second Bfp and thankfully things have been going well.
How far along are you, fruit, edd? I'm am 14 weeks as of yesterday, a lemon, & my EDD is 6/12/15.
How are you feeling? I'm doing pretty well. I still need to have an early bed time, but it feels like I'm starting to get some energy back. I have developed motion sickness, but only when I'm on the train going to and from work. Otherwise I'm feeling much better.
No t&ps needed for me right now. I'm feeling secure right now, which is the first time in my pg I've felt like this.
QOTW: I haven't registered yet, but I'm looking forward to picking out a crib and bedding. I want to have a classic Winnie the pooh themed room for LO. I've been dreaming about that for years. I've done some Pinterest research, but I haven't quite found exactly what I want.
Sorry that this is so long! I look forward to getting to know you!
Here's some pics of my little peanut! I'm hoping to post a full birth story soon.
Femara + Gonal F + Ovidrel 3/6/14 IUI #3 (plus 2x acupuncture)

Updates: We are now team blue!!!! H was dyyyyyinnnngggg to know and was giving me sad puppy eyes and I couldn't deal with it so I gave in.

Do you need T&P's for anything? I miss my hubby!
QOTW: What are some baby items you registered for that you are most excited about? Ummm maybe our bedding? We decided to do a penguin theme (because they're my fave ) and that was our plan when we were going to be team green....but we stuck with it anyways. We found some penguin bedding which I'm excited about because we didn't think we would!
