Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Re: PgAL check in 1/2/15
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Same old, same old - NSTs and Bios twice a week... actually leaving in 5 minutes to go to the OB!
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Well, I have successfully located the chip aisle in every local grocery store around here.
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015? 2014 - you suck. Seriously. I feel like by moving into the new year, I'm leaving behind the only year that my boys were alive and in my arms. But at the same time, every year that comes is one year closer to seeing them again. I hope that 2015 brings us a happy, healthy, full-term baby.... but I also hope that we are still able to keep Conner and Benjamin's memories alive next year as well.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Nesting, for sure. Our house needs some serious cleaning! Also, the boys' birthday is coming up on the 10th (four days after my 30th!) and I am anxious for what the day will bring.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Jan 16th next OB. Baby boy is officially viable! yayayay!!
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Just tired and peeing a lot!
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015?Meh, 2014 was hard. TTCAL, losing my grandfather, Mom being diagnosed with cancer and passing away...wew. I am looking forward to 2015 and the joy it will bring with our little rainbow. I am looking forward to being happy, it feels like it has been a long time.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My Mom, Ana, scared about losing our rainbow boy.

@shandorfml2 - you've had so many challenges in 2014. So many hugs to you and praying your rainbow boy continues to do well. I think I'll be living at the ob at the end of my pregnancy with the schedule they have planned.
@bunnybun4 - congratulations!!! Praying your US goes well. PGal is crazy, but we are here for you.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? A/S in 2 weeks
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? vomitting comes and goes, but it's not everyday which is great
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015? 2014 was a hard year. It a great year because my son was born, but so hard because he was not alive. I am so glad that I met him, held him and had the time with him that I did. He meant the world to me. I just wish he was alive. I'm hopeful and nervous for his sibling.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Just waiting for the A/S - I wish we could fast forward sometimes.
@ikrystal - 31 weeks! So great! Been praying for you and YH and your boys and will continue to do so as the 10th draws near. ((Hugs))
@shandorfml2 - ((hugs)) for making it through such a tough year! 2015 has great potential to be a very good year!
@bunnybun4 - eek! I am so excited to see you over here! Congratulations!!
@shandorfml2 :I can't imagine what a crazy difficult year this has been for
You but praying 2015 will be filled with healing and a new little baby to keep!
@bunnybun4 : welcome! Congratulations! So happy for you and pray this is an uneventful pregnancy!
@msunshine123 : Ahhh can't wait for your A/S scan! I know what you mean about wanting time to go faster!
How far along are you? 13 weeks!
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? NT scan and MFM appt. on Monday! Can't come Soon enough!
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Nothing really... Just hungry all the time!
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015? Ughhhh 2014 was tough, I'm kinda glad to have it over! And as much as I often feel like I'm moving further away from Mary, I know I'm also closer to seeing her again!
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Can't wait for a good appt. on Monday and to see this little nugget and make sure everything is ok. The fear is out of control! I've seriously looked into getting a portable ultrasound machine for home because I get so afraid between appts!
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Next OB appointment and glucose test in a little over a week. I already did that once at the beginning of this pregnancy. I was hoping I didn't have to do it again.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? Still have hip pain in the evenings if I have been sitting down for a while. At least it is just in the evening now. I think with Nathaniel it was pretty bad all the time by 24 weeks.
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015? 2014 was hard with the end of my pregnancy with Nathaniel complete with lots of NSTs and extra ultrasounds and then his birth and death. But we are getting better slowly. I feel like I'm actually in a place where I can help other people now.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm starting to feel baby girl move a lot more which is good, but somehow it is still not real that she is coming in a few months. I know I'm pregnant, but I seem to be having a hard time convincing myself that she is coming home.
@dadalou - I feel the same way - I know I'm pregnant, but it's hard to imagine this baby coming home because that hasn't happened. So many hugs.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Level II ultrasound one week from today. I'm counting down days, I cannot wait to see this little guy again and make sure he's been growing.
Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? I overdid it a little with the cleaning/organizing/nesting this weekend so my sciatic pain came back a little, but it was worth it. I still can't brush my tongue without gagging though.
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015? Overall I was happy to see 2014 go. I hate for it to be a whole new year that Lincoln never knew, but happy to see this awful year pass and for the holidays to be over. I was out of energy to cope with it all.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I've been able to enjoy setting up Harrison's room more than I thought. We've changed the layout and that helped a lot. Still have to go through Lincoln's clothes and the items still in bags after being packed from his hospital room, but we're making steps forward and I'm happy with that.
@ikrystal, thanks for the check-in! I'll be thinking of you this week as you make your way towards the boys' birthday. ((hugs)) And I just had to say that I clicked on your blog for the first time today, and you and your bump are freakin adorable. Ridiculously so. Just sayin.
@shandorfml2, congrats on viability! I feel like your pregnancy is flying by.
@bunnybun4, welcome to the check-in! I'm so happy to see you here. I hope your appointment later this week going great and that you get to a beautiful heartbeat or two (you did transfer two, right?)!
@msunshine123 I hope the next couple of weeks pass quickly for you and you have a wonderful anatomy scan.
@schulme2, good luck at your NT scan today! I hope a great report today will help relieve some of your anxieties and hold you over until the next time you see your LO. I hadn't even thought about people using portable ultrasound machines at home. Do you have a doppler?
@dadalou, ((hugs)). I'm still very early in pregnancy and fighting the first trimester worries but I know that as I hit milestones like the second trimester, viability, and full term, I still won't feel much confidence that the baby will be coming home. Until he/she is in my arms with a clean bill of heath, I don't think I'll be able to exhale. I'm glad you're preparing for her arrival; hopefully at some point all of the preparations will train your brain to believe that this is your rainbow.

Any pregnancy symptoms or pregnancy cravings or aversions? I don't feel sick at all yet but I'm having a lot of moments where food sounds dreadful. No other symptoms really.
QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015? 2014 is a year of such mixed emotions. It was the year I found out I was pregnant with Layla. It was the only year where her heart beat and I got to experiece her alive inside of me. And it is the year that my world collapsed. I'll never be able to call it the worst year of my life since it's the only year I had with her and the only year I got to hold her in my arms and kiss her sweet face but it's the year containing the worst moment of my life -- when her heart stopped beating. Like so many of you, I'll try to view the new year as one year closer to seeing her again, and the year I hopefully get to bring my rainbow home. 2015, please be kind to all of us on this board.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I have no appointments this week, so this week is filled with ideas for how to distract myself and pass the time!

QOTW: Happy New Year! What are your reflections on 2014 and any wishes for 2015?
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I cannot believe that Q would be turning 1 in 6 days. I am so incredibly emotional and sad about it. We have decided to celebrate his birthday by asking friends and family to do something good in his honor, whether that be making a donation to a nonprofit, volunteering, or some other random act of kindness. We have already gotten a great response so far, and that makes me really happy

ikrystal : I feel the exact same way about leaving 2014 behind. It makes me sad to be in a year that Q doesn't exist, but I am also glad to be starting a new year that has to be better.
shandorfml2 : Yay for viability!
bunnybun4 : Congratulations!
schulme2: Hope your NT scan went well!
@cheesypeas Yay for a heartbeat!

@CheesyPeas - glad you got to see LO's heartbeat - it's the best. Hoping the next few days fly by so you can see your LO continuing to do well.
@erinel - I love how you have chosen to celebrate Q's 1st birthday and I'm glad your family and friends are being supportive. So many hugs to you as anniversaries are not easy.
@mel&john2013 can't wait to hear how your next ultrasound goes! I'm so glad your getting things ready for Harrison's room. I think journaling is a great idea!
@cheesypeas congrats on the HB! And I think a couple days behind is totally normal. I think this little one was a few days behind in the beginning but yesterday was like 4 days ahead of that!
@erinel praying for you as you approach Q's birthday! Random Acts are a wonderful way to honor his life!
Thank you for all the good wishes for my appt. NT scan went well yesterday! Well, not super well because this little crazy would not stop standing on its head so they couldn't get the measurement but that just means I get to see him/her again on Friday for another try! Everything else looked great though and was actually measuring a little bit ahead of where she/he had been!
