Hi everyone. We haven't had a check in in a little while so I hope no one minds me starting one.
I am 25 weeks today and am feeling such strong kicks and wiggles that I know this little one is very strong. DS was born at 32w2d after I went into labor at 31w5d. So each week that passes gets me closer to that milestone and I just pray that between my weekly Makena injections and being monitored more closely this time I'll be able to carry this LO to term, at least 37 weeks and I'll be quite happy. Every day is a blessing and I'm trying to relax and enjoy being pregnant as this might be our last LO.
@Lemonpig1 I noticed that you mentioned in another thread that yesterday was your loss date so I just wanted to check in with you and to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know it must have been a very difficult day for you and I wanted to let you know we're here for you. I pray that you are able to find comfort and support in your family. Today you will be one day closer to holding your healthy rainbow baby in your arms!
Re: PGAL Check in 9/29
Even though I only have a couple of weeks left until 3rd tri I'm just now hitting that "second tri honeymoon phase." I love that I look pregnant instead of just chubby, I love feeling all the kicks, I can't wait for the shower, and I'm having a lot of fun prepping the nursery and nesting when I have bursts of energy.
I think these next 3 months are going to fly by what with all the holidays and exciting fall activities. I feel like we're lucky to have January babies because it means we get a super fun last trimester with a lot of celebrating!
Congrats to either reaching or *almost* reaching viability day, ladies! I hope everyone is feeling positive and that the moments of fear are decreasing. I know for me every week gets a little bit easier as I get closer to the finish line.
@UptownPearl I'm glad you're settling into the second tri honeymoon phase! I'm loving pregnant body too, minus the aches and pains. Starting yoga today and really hoping that will help a bit.
At 23w 5d I'm finally starting to feel a bit better, the contractions are never regular anymore and now at least we have a fighting chance if labor starts so I'm focusing on that and all of our little girl's kicks. She's a night owl, but as long as she's moving I'm happy!

I'm 26 weeks today. I had my 1 hour GD test today but won't know if I "failed" until next week. Fingers crossed! Over the last week my little man has been much more active and packing a bit more of a punch. I love every minute of it.
It gives me the warm and fuzzies to hear that everyone is feeling more secure. I still have my moments, but they are much less frequent now. So good to hear from you ladies!
As you've probably guessed from a thread I started, I'm starting to think more about getting the nursery organised-something Ive been a bit scared to do! Im officially on my first day of annual leave holidays (back to work in two weeks though!). My hubby and I are travelling interstate tomorrow to catch up with my family, and then a week later travelling to another state to catch up with his! Im pretty excited to go home and show off my bump to all our loved ones. Looking forward to buying some big ticket items, and also attending my baby shower that some friends told me this week that they are planning. I feel like Im slowly getting to enjoy that expectation of what we all imagined pregancy would be like (you know, beautiful bellies, glowing skin, baby showers, fun planning and shopping all thing baby with that blissfully naive expectancy), rather than how pregnancy has actually been up till now (worried about m/c, hormones, morning sickness, worry. Worry. More worry!).
