Thanks for the check-in @pblge !

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD:6 weeks, size of a sweet pea. EDD is 8/21How are you feeling?Feeing pretty good still. I felt nauseated all morning yesterday, but that went away by last night. Breasts still hurt a lot. Do you need T&P's for anything?I went through the calendar and made a bunch mini- goals. My first goal is to get to 8 weeks, that will be the farthest I have ever been. That goal is two weeks from today. Praying so hard we make it.QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?
Holidays were great! Sad they are over. We don't have any real traditions other than getting the whole fam together for dinner. It's fun because I have a huge family and my siblings and I are really close.

taberbtb · December 2014

Holy crap! I know I am getting to the end, but it's a little scary to see my name at the top of the list!!

@kistyW13‌ T&P's to your co-worker and her family. I lost my best friend last March to a snowmobile accident, it's absolutely devastating. I can only imagine the pain and hurt they must feel right now. I will keep them in my prayers.

@mkfish31‌ making mini goals is a great way help ease PgAL brain! I definitely did that with this pg and it helped me feel good when I passed each one instead of just being worried 100% of the time.

Week/fruit/EDD: 35/35(!!!!)/coconut/Jan 30

How are you feeling? I have been better! DH and I have both caught a terrible cold so we are battling that this week. Along with some contractions I had earlier this week it's making anxious that LO is not going to stay in another 5 weeks and we could not handle that right now!

Do you need T&P's for anything? Nothing serious, just that DH and I recover quickly and are not sick whenever this LO decides to arrive. We are going to need to bring our A game!

QOTW: Our holidays have been good. Slightly tainted by sickness but otherwise we are enjoying our last Christmas as a family of two humans (plus fur babies) and feeling very blessed and fortunate.

Edit: crappy ipad formatting

MrsSnyder124 · December 2014

This is my first check in , hope you don't mind if I join!

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD:
5 weeks, apple seed, Aug 28.

Updates:
Made my first OB appt for January 15th. Just about 8 weeks.

How are you feeling?
Pretty achy all over . My back has been hurting a lot .

Do you need T&P's for anything?
Just for patience to wait for my appointment ! Trying to stay positive this early on .

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?
The holidays were busy traveling between family members homes. Our LO (2yo) really enjoyed Christmas this year .
Sad it's over as well. Now we have to put everything away! Boo.

Hope you all had a fantastic holiday. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies.

dawnstar898 · December 2014

Thank you for the check in @pblge!

How far along are you? Week 6, Fruit sweet pea, EDD: 8/21/15

Updates: Nothing yet, 1st appointment in January 5th

How are you feeling? I have this strange combo of being nauseous and starved at the same time, it's weird and of course my breasts are pretty sore, especially at night when I'm sleeping. Also can't go more than six hours while sleeping without having to get up to pee.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Just for my PGAL crazies. All my experiences right now are just total flash backs of this time last year. I was just as pregnant this time last year and obviously that did not end well. It's very hard to stay positive, but I'm trying!

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?

Christmas was good, tons and tons of family and food! My dad suffers from depression and was not doing well when we went there for Thanksgiving. Yesterday he was doing great and it was such a wonderful day! We all had so much fun and had a really good time. Last year I didn't have much of a Christmas with my parents because my dad was actually hospitalized due to his depression. This year was such a blessing for sure.
I don't think we've really created any new traditions yet.

tg1993 · December 2014

This is my first check in as well.

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 31 weeks, Pineapple, Feb 27th

Updates: Did my GD test on Tuesday passed with good numbers but turned out to be anemic so now i am on iron supplements that tend to screw my stomach up.

How are you feeling? Not too good this week since I have been sick, hoping to get over this bug soon. Baby is well and very active so I am thankful for that.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Not too much just so i get over my sore throat and this cough soon.

QOTW: We had a dinner at DHs parents house last night other than that we haven't done much this year.

kaynix21 · December 2014

Thanks for the check-in @pblge

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 20 weeks, banana, 5/15

Updates: Not much here, it's been quiet. He doesn't kick as much as I expected so of course PGAL brain makes me worry.

How are you feeling? Tired, all the time. I think the energy back in 2nd tri is a lie. I can go all day without taking a nap, but I'm just totally exhausted. I also woke up at like 4 am with weird aches in my legs so that was annoying. I couldn't really get comfortable and sleep well after that.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Nope.

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family? It was OK. H is away for work so I was on my own. Travelling to see family for a couple days didn't make much sense.

scrang74 · December 2014

Thanks for the checkin @pblge‌! How far along are you? Week, fruit, EDD? 8 weeks, kidney bean, 8/7/15 Updates? Not really. Getting anxious for the 1st ultrasound on Jan 5 at 9 weeks. That's when we got the bad news last time, but being home with my parents has been a nice distraction. How are you feeling? Pretty good. No real symptoms other than tired ALL the time, as in taking 2 naps a day! Pgal brain is in full force there...no m/s=Problem. I try daily to get that out of my head, but also not think too far ahead. Just want to make it to the u/s and get good news. Do you need T&p's for anything? Nope...I'll ask for those next week!

Edit...sorry for the format! On my iPad

DenaMaree · December 2014

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 13 weeks, Peach, Jul 3rdUpdates: We had our 12 week check up this week and got to hear Lo's heartbeat on the doppler. Perfect at 160. My OB is concerned with how much I gained the first trimester (8lb which if I read correctly was on the high side of normal) but wants me to be aware. Now DH is super aware of everything that I'm eating, grr! The other factor is with my constant nausea I have neglected going to the gym, I'm hoping as I feel better I can get back into a good routine!How are you feeling? I'm getting better! Reflux is the biggest issue, but usually will start to get better forty five minutes after each meal and doesn't appear with water or milk so I am relying on them for all my liquids. Do you need T&P's for anything? I'm doing well, Thank You!QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family? We will be starting a new tradition next year by adopting my families traditions for Christmas Day. Currently we have been flexible on whether we do Christmas Eve or Christmas day with DH's Parents depending on his Brother and Sister-in Law's plans. I already told DH's Mom at Christmas this year that starting in 2015 I want to go back to how Christmas Eve was for the first seven years I was dating DH and celebrate by attending church with them (Christmas Eve) followed by Christmas Eve dinner (Ham and all the trimmings) and Santa and presents at the In-Laws. This way on Christmas day we can be at our home; have our baked egg and french toast casseroles for breakfast followed by appetizers throughout the day while our baby gets spoiled by us and gets to be home playing, etc! My Mother In Law is thrilled with the idea as she hasn't liked that they got away from celebrating Christmas Eve as a family as they always had when she raised her kids.

MrsSnyder124 · December 2014

@kaynix21‌ Sorry for the holiday alone . I was a military wife so I had many of those . When does H get home ?

scrang74 · December 2014

@DenaMaree‌ I think I've gained 8 lbs in Christmas eating, so not looking forward to the lecture at my 1st appt. As soon as I get back home from my parents, its salads and protein and multi grains for me!

I like to not say dates over the net but schedule to not be home until DS is here -- hopefully leave will work out lol.

stinybean · December 2014

Thank you @pblge for the check-in!

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 16 weeks, avocado, 6/12/15

Updates:My next appointment is Tuesday, eeek!!! I am bringing my mom, because she's never seen a baby sono. I hope she loves it and that everything is okay in there.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. I like having my energy back. I'm having some pressure in my lower abdomen- definitely where the uterus is. I'm having some trouble sleeping, but last night I finally figured out hope to position myself on and around my body pillow.

Do you need T&P's for anything? I just ask for t&p's for my friend who just had a loss. I am heartbroken for her.

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?

My Christmas was good. I love making and eating all the Christmas cookies. I will continue to make cookies with my sister and mom.

@shell041783 and @Torigirl2014 Congratulations!!!! Enjoy those little ones and try to get some rest!

@kistyw13 I hope you feel better soon!

@mkfish31 My FX for you to make it to your mini-goal. Remember today you are pregnant!

@taberbtb I hope you and YH get better soon and those contractions slow down until closer to your DD.

@MrsSnyder124 Welcome to the check-in! GL holding onto your patience.

@Dawnstar898 I remember that nauseated and starving feeling. I hope that doesn't last you too long.

@tg1993 I'm glad you had a good result for GD, but so sorry you're iron levels were low. I hope your body gets used to the supplements soon.

@kaynix21 I hope baby starts kicking up a storm for you soon!

@scrang74 Sorry that the lack of m/s is messing with your PgAL brain. Just remember that not every pregnancy is the same, so there are plenty of women don't have m/s. I didn't really, I was just nauseated a lot.

@DenaMaree I'm glad you were able to hear such a great BP! Sorry YH is being annoying about what you eat. I understand how hard it can be to exercise, I only "worked out" for the first time yesterday. I highly recommend Prenatal yoga, I felt great after.

taberbtb · December 2014

@MrsSnyder124‌ congrats and welcome! Hopefully time flies until your appointment!

@dawnstar898‌ (((HUGS))) lady. PgAL brain is hard. Glad your dad was feeling well enough to be a part of your Christmas day.

@tg1993‌ I had low iron when it was tested at 28w, and I take a smaller dose supplement 2x/day. It's definitely easier on my stomach & digestive system. Maybe that is something you could ask about?

@kaynix21‌ hopefully LO starts being more active for you. 20 weeks is still early for consistent movement. Congrats on half baked!!

@scrang74‌ sorry your lack of symptoms is messing with your head. I know it's hard to reason with PGAL brain, but symptoms (or lack of) don't always indicate whether a of is viable or not. ((Hugs)) Hang in there, only 1 week until your scan!

@DenaMaree‌ I gained 9lbs during first tri, which I attributed to the progesterone. Things definitely leveled off for me afterwards and I gained very little from 13-20 weeks and ended up right back on track. Try not to sweat it too much right now!

@stinybean‌ GL at your scan Tuesday!! How special you are able to take your mom!!

kaynix21 · December 2014

Thanks @taberbtb

MrsSnyder124 · December 2014

Thank you @stinybean‌ and @taberbtb‌ for the warm welcome !

scrang74 · December 2014

Yes, thanks @taberbtb‌ and @stinybean‌!

tigerlynx31413 · December 2014

Wow am I bad at this when I don't have my computer.

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: I am 11 weeks due 7/17 and am a lime!

Updates: I had an apt last Monday and got to hear the baby on the Doppler at 10 w 3 d!! It made telling more people less unnerving.

How are you feeling? I almost feel like the farther I go along the stronger my nausea is getting. I have not thrown up yet, but keep getting closer.

Do you need T&P's for anything? not currently

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family? Let's just say my Christmas time with family was good, everything else kind of sucked (my uncle died on Christmas Eve).

heathersf11 · December 2014

pblge thank you for leading the check in.

tigerlynx31413 I'm so sorry for your loss. (((Hugs)))

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: Week 22, papaya, 5/1/15

Updates: I have an appointment tomorrow with my OB.

How are you feeling? My belly has really been growing/stretching. I've had some aches and pains related to that. I still feel pretty good, and it's fun to feel my little one moving.

QOTW: I spent Christmas at my parents' house. I drove back home today, and was sad to leave. I've been spoiled with having my mom around since Thanksgiving. My house feels a little empty without her.

smagglebit · December 2014

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 11 weeks, lime, 7/17/15

Updates:

Had some spotting about a week ago - not totally unexpected after my results from my u/s at 7w. But of course it happened in the middle of the night on a weekend, and of course we were worried. We called urgent care and were told to go to the ER, which we did. Had another u/s there. Baby looked great, measuring right on track and had a strong HB. They said it looks like a small SCH, so I'm prepared to have more spotting in the coming weeks. I have a follow up with my OB tomorrow, but I don't expect anything to really change. I'm just happy my LO is fine

How are you feeling?

It seems MS is going away. I actually felt up to cooking this weekend, which is the first time I've cooked this month! It's been nice.

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

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?

DH and I were a little sad this Christmas. The EDD for my son is coming up in a couple weeks, and we were really excited for the holidays this year before my loss. The whole thing was pretty somber this year. It was still a really good Christmas, just different than we'd wanted it to be.

We always go out for Chinese for Christmas dinner. We'll probably carry that tradition on because it's so low stress.

CrouchingTiger · December 2014

I'm new here and don't know where to start so I hope this is ok....

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 8 weeks 1 day. EDD is August 9th

Updates: I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks 1 day due to cramping and bleeding. Baby had bpm at 94. My OB determined it was another threatened pregnancy. (Miscarriage in 2011). Had another ultrasound at 7 weeks 1 day baby grew and bpm went up to 132. My first OB appointment is January 12th.

How are you feeling? Today, I am honestly feeling sad and fearing that baby is no longer growing. I'm not feeling the same morning sickness I have been and that scares me out of my mind. My dog is also constantly following me and watching my every move...creepy.

Do you need T&P's for anything? Just happy healthy pregnancies for all.

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?

Holidays were great. No one asked why I wasn't drinking or why I woofed down more food than usual. We have started a new tradition by playing the dice game. It gets pretty heated and fun!

MrsSnyder124 · December 2014

@CrouchingTiger‌ I'm sorry you had that scare! I understand why you would be fearful . Positive thoughts and prayers for you . Read the mantras! They really help .

pblge · December 2014

Hi Ladies! Sorry it's taken me so long to catch up with this thread! DH and I went on a mini-babymoon in the mountains of NC, and we had very little internet access. Just mobile, and it's hard to do a long post from a phone!

@kistyw13 - I'm so very sorry for your coworker's son. What an awful thing to happen at an awful time of the year. Sending t&p to her family. The doppler has never once given me a reading I trust. It's better to count it out with a watch.

@mkfish31 - I still think of pregnancy as a series of mini-goals! It seems like a really good approach to me. Will you have a scan before the 8 week mark?

@taberbtb - Sorry you've been sick.

Are you feeling any better now? There aren't a lot of people on this check-in for the first quarter of 2015, so people are going to go up the list quickly!

@MrsSnyder124 - Welcome! I've added you to the list! Hope the time flies by until your first appt! Sorry your back hurts.

@dawnstar898 - Enjoy the six hours without needing to pee while it lasts--that sounds great to me! I think the queasy/starving feeling is pretty normal. I still get it sometimes. One more week til your appt!

@tg1993 - Welcome! Glad to have a February baby around here! Do you know your team? Hope you feel better soon, both from the cold and the iron supps.

@kaynix21 - Sorry you're dealing with the lack of kicks and the sore legs. (hugs) He may start to be more active soon.

@scrang74 - FX that the time flies until your next appt! I know how hard that wait is. And you may still get the m/s, but even if you don't it's not that meaningful, even though it messes with your head.

@DenaMaree - Wow, french toast casserole sounds really good! YUM! And yay for a great HB! 8 lbs doesn't sound like all that much to me--lots of women gain WAY more than that! It is a lot easier to exercise in the second tri, so hopefully the pace will slow.

@stinybean - I think your appt is tomorrow - GOOD LUCK! Hope it goes great. And I'm so sorry for your friend's loss.

@tigerlynx31413 - Oh my, I'm so very sorry about your uncle. Sending t&p to you and your family.

@heathersf11 - Hope your appt went well! I'm sorry that you're experiencing the post-holiday blues.

@smagglebit - Sorry about your spotting scare! Glad that all is well, but that must have been very emotional, especially while mourning your previous loss. Glad your appetite/cooking urges are back somewhat.

@CrouchingTiger - ((hugs)) I'm so sorry for your fears. I'm a bit surprised they're making you wait so long for your next scan. I know that saying it doesn't help all that much, but symptoms don't mean all that much, so try not to worry. Welcome to the check-in!

tg1993 · December 2014

@pblge‌ we are team blue! ;;)

pblge · December 2014

How far along are you? Week, Fruit, EDD: 24 weeks as of Friday, Cantaloupe, 4/17

Updates: Nothing new, really. I think I'm switching doctors on advice of our new doula, so I have an appt next week. Also starting birthing classes on 1/5, which is very exciting.

How are you feeling? Fine. Still in the glory days of pregnancy.

Do you need T&P's for anything? None for me.

QOTW: How have your holidays been (Christmas, Hannukah, others?)? What's your favorite family tradition? Are you creating any new traditions for your family?
We had a great holiday trip down to my SIL's family's house in NC, then a mini-babymoon in Asheville. We LOVE that city and wish we could move there (and eat at Plant every night!). We've been doing a lot of thinking about family traditions we'd like to have, but don't have a long list. Only one we have now is that each year we buy two Christmas tree ornaments that honor things happening that year. We got handmade ceramic hearts this year in honor of our coming little girl. :x

Does anyone object if I change up the questions a little bit for next week's check-in? I feel like there's a bit missing.

Happy new year!!!

MrsSnyder124 · December 2014

@pblge‌ That's awesome that you got out of town for the holidays and had QT with your honey ! Thank you for the warm welcome
