  • And congrats again to @weansworld09 on baby Anthony!

    QOTW: What do you feel you procrastinating on the most, before your baby (or babies) arrives?

  • Things are good here!  31w3d today.  It is getting more and more uncomfortable to sit on the couch or to sleep.  I guess I should consider myself lucky, though...even though I get bad insomnia, when I was able to sleep, I could do most positions comfortable until now.  I'm also starting to make out her position and body parts a little by feeling from the outside, which is fun.  I love finding and pressing on her feet.

    QOTW: I'm procrastinating anything related to the hospital.  Some of it is due to my job situation changing last week and having to change insurance.  I need to tour the hospital, do some sort of class, and find a pediatrician.  I also need to was all her clothes and sheets/blankets, but I'll be able to do that more now that I'm home all day.

    31w1d here and big time problems sleeping. I have never had sleep issues before so it has taken a bit of a toll on me! Guess I better get used to it. He is a busy boy but stops anytime someone else comes for a feel. I like to think it's because he loves his mama!

    It's also amazing and scary to me that we will be bringing him home in several weeks. It used to be a dream but it is actually real. If I think too much about it the scary stuff can overwhelm me, but the thought of our family truly starting makes me beyond happy.

    QOTW: I feel like I am really nesting and getting everything together but the washing. I just need to start and it won't take long to do it. I have his bag almost packed and will be working on mine soon.

  • 29 w 4 d and I agree with being uncomfortable sitting or sleeping! I can't stay in one position for too long whether it is sitting, sleeping, standing etc. little girl likes to move high under my ribs after I eat - causing heartburn (I think). Then she drops down low, which is just as uncomfortable lol it was neat when I showed my husband this weekend and he could tell she was way up higher then normal!
    I have my first shower this weekend up in NY, where I am originally from, so I'm excited to see my family and friends :) nothing else too exciting to report!

    QOTW~ we haven't done too much other then put together the crib! All the clothing donations I've gotten are still sitting in her closet. We got our glider today but probably won't put it together until after my shower (s). Haven't bought anything besides the crib mostly because we are waiting to have the showers and see what we get. We did take a childbirth class this weekend, which was both helpful and terrifying!

  • Hi ladies. I'm 32w, 2d. Just like others, I'm more and more uncomfortable sitting in certain positions or laying down. Baby girl has been incredibly active the past 2 days including some nice hard jabs to the ribs ;) I had an ultrasound growth check yesterday and find out the results tomorrow when I see my Re. Baby looked so much bigger from the last u/s. Got me some swollen ankles the past week or so; any advice for that, other than putting my feet up when I get home from work? I have my first shower this Sunday, and my 2nd (big) shower next Sunday, so a couple busy weeks!! 

    QOTW: tons of procrastinating going on over here, but we're finally starting to get in to gear...first prenatal/birth class is tomorrow night (then for 5 more weeks after that), we are pre-registering for birth at the hospital tomorrow morning, the nursery will be painted in the next 2 weeks and we're going to pick out our nursery furniture in the next week as well. I ordered some cute art prints off the internet for the nursery, so that's something at least...lol

    Me: 37 | DH: 41
    TTC Since 2011 DX: Unexplained 
    IUI's #1 - 3 = BFN
    IVF August 2014: FSH 4.1, PRL 15.3, TSH 2.1, W/ AFC 8.
     08/03 ER 5R, 4M, 3F. 08/08 5DT of 1-3AA0, 2 frozen :) bfp @9dp5dt. Beta on 08/20 = 414.
    So excited to have one little bean on the way!!

  • I'm 39 weeks. Baby will be here TODAY via RCS. I can hardly believe it. Now I'm scared of the giant needle and being cut wide open. I'm also uncomfortable trying to sleep is why I'm up. Luckily, it hasn't been this bad every night. I've been having contractions here and there, but nothing consistent. I'm glad it looks like I'm making it til my appt since my OB is doing it. Oh and we did realize it is still freezing here and since DS1 was born in April, we didn't have a warm jacket for him. I picked up acute one on clearance over the weekend. Good thing since we're getting snow on Thursdsy.

    QOTW: It was definitely on getting the baby's room ready. Since I know we didn't use it much the first few months and I'm taking some extra time off from work after LO's arrival, I was was in no rush to have everything perfect before his arrival. It's mostly done. Few things left.

    MC Sept '10, MC Dec '10, DS born 2012

    Clomid + TI = BFP #1 March '13, MC April '13

    Gonal F + trigger + IUI #1 = BFP #2 10/21/13, MC 10/31/13

    Gonal F + trigger + IUI #2 = BFP #3 1/16/14, ectopic w/ heartbeat & rt salpingectomy 1/29/14

    IVF #1 - ER 5/9/14 transfer cx'd due to high P4

    FET #1 -  6/26/14 transferred 1 AA blast BFP!! Beta #1 13dp5dt - 1548 Beta #2 15dp5dt - 2748 Beta #3 18dp5dt - 7586

    Hello 3rd Tri! Moving over from 2nd Tri. EDD 5/25/15 Team Blue, 28 weeks, 2 days today. I scheduled my repeat c-section this week while at my monthly Dr appt- May 19! Crazy! I now go every 2 weeks to the dr until 35 weeks when I will go weekly & then have to shave my legs =(

     I have a 4 year old son now, he will be 5 in June.

    QOTW: This time around, I feel like I am on the ball. I still need to get a car seat, but other then that, I am pretty ready to go...

    My History:
    Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
    Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
    Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
    Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
    Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
    About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!

    1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.
  • Doing well, lots of energy! Only complaint is nasal congestion and shortness of breath - I'm carrying high. Baby is transverse at almost 37 weeks, so I'm expecting a C-section. 

    QOTW: What do you feel you procrastinating on the most, before your baby (or babies) arrives?

    Everything. I've been so focussed on work I haven't done any baby stuff. Pretty sure I should buy some bottles soon!
  • Good luck @mrs.willie !
