Re: Second Trimester Check-in **Last check-in need new leader!!** June 2nd

  • Okay Ladies! I'm outta here! Come Thursday I hit the big THIRD TRIMESTER!! I still can't even believe that after all these years and so many cycles I am rounding the bend to having my LO in my arms. 

    I have a sono on Thursday SOOO excited to see this little girl! I think I might run in and do my glucose test tomorrow morning since I'm off work. Other than that I have just been working on the nursery. My shower is coming up also in the middle of June. 

    See you all over on Third Tri!!!

  • Last 2nd tri check-in!! Ahhhhh!!

    27w6d with the babies! Passed my 1 hr glucose test last wk, but had high blood pressure at my last appt, so now I get to check it 2x/day from home. Interestingly, it's only high when I'm working...

    MFM appt tmrw. Not really sure what's going to happen since we had the echoes last appt and now they're just routine.

    Qotw- just getting ready for babies. I would LOVE a beach vacay. I'm not really allowed to travel far now, so we'll spend the summer getting settled and ready for the peanuts!

    See you ladies in 3rd tri! Good luck with your glucose test @Justone13 !

  • @katers79 you are going to be busy setting up house!! I should take my bp while working too. I've always wondered what it spikes to when we have a stressful call.

    I forgot my own QOTW- we plan on heading down to ocean city at least twice this summer. It's close only about 1 1/2 away and my FIL has a place ocean side... Can't beat free!

  • I'm 27 weeks 6 days today!! I had my glucose test on Monday, and I haven't heard from my Dr yet but I don't think it will be a problem. We are still working on the nursery. Everything is done except the mural that my mom is working on. We leave for a beach vacation this Saturday! We will spend a week at the beach and 1 day at Disney World. I am super excited. When we get back, I plan on getting out all the baby gear like car seat, rock n play sleeper, bouncer, co-sleeper and floor gym out. I want to start working on getting all of the covers washed and ready for baby. I really want to spend the last few weeks before she arrives trying to relax a little.

  • 19 Weeks 5 Days!  EDD 10/24

    Wound up with a bad stomach virus last week and had to head to L&D for fluids and monitoring for a few hours.  Everything is ok now but I can't wait until my appt tonight to make sure that the baby is OK.

    We have a week booked at the NJ shore this summer and I cannot wait to spend time doing nothing on the beach!

    @Justone13 - so exciting that you're in the 3rd tri already!  Time has really flown by!  What is your nursery theme?


  • Hey @Pookster1020 !! Glad you are feeling better. I'm sure that totally sucked being that sick and pregnant!!

    No real theme. Just kinda putting stuff together. Here is a pic... image

  • @Justone13 - I love the nursery!  Gray and turquoise is one of my favorite color combos!  The trees are great too.  Do you have a name picked out yet?

  • @Justone13 I love the name!  For a boy we're leaning towards Gabriel or Carter.  For a girl I love Charlotte but now that the new princess is Charlotte I'm afraid it will become even more popular!  We shall see though.
