GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?:
Re: Wednesday Ticker Change
Symptoms: Significant RLP, to the point I confused it with a torn muscle. Random days of nausea still. And last night hit with a crazy bout of nesting/energy
Rants/Raves/Stories: So my friend had her twins, same EDD as me. As much as I want this little girl to keep cooking, I'm jealous she has her girls on the outside now!
Upcoming Appointments: 34 weeks on the 22nd
Questions:
GTKY: (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week to spend in Europe, where do you go? DH and I reeeeeally want to go to Iceland! We almost tried to do our honeymoon there, but we were married in June which is their busy season so it was really expensive. Someday!
Symptoms: Other than shortness of breath while climbing stairs, I have nothing to complain about, thankfully.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I have no stories this week. I am so boring.
Upcoming Appointments: OB on Feb 18.
Questions: None this week.
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?: Oh, this is NOT a fair question!!! I can think of multiple answers!!! If I'm answering for myself, if I have one week in Europe, I will always go back to Paris. Been 7 times, once a year for the past 7 years, and it is my favorite place on Earth (Husband's too).
If I am advising someone who's never been… That's when it would get difficult. I can think of so many combinations!!!! But I think my top 2 combos to visit within a 1-week time frame would be Rome-Florence/Tuscany or Amsterdam/Brussels/Bruges.
Symptoms: flushed cheeks, shortness of breath
Rants/Raves/Stories: Hospital bedrest is not too bad. MTV Europe is turning my brain into mush
Upcoming appointments: later this afternoon
Questions: none At the moment
GTKY-One week in Europe, where would you go?: I would love to go to Iceland and see the Northern lights.
Symptoms: Same 'ol: heartburn, insomnia, shortness of breath other than that I feel great
Rants/Raves/Stories: Taking my mom and MIL to my 3D sonogram next week. MIL has never seen a sonogram much less a 3D. She's gonna flip! My mom has seen a sonogram but not a 3D. Can't wait.
Upcoming Appointments: 2/17 for 30 week appt and 3D ultrasound
Questions: Nope
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?: This is so hard to answer! We've never been to Europe so I'm not sure if we would want to take a whole week in Spain, Tuscany, Ireland, Germany, etc or try and hit two places during that week. In a few more years when the babies are old enough we are leaving them behind and going.
symptoms: I have started to tire out much easier he last few days. And my workouts are dragging, I lose my breath really easily
rants/raves/stories: I have found some awesome deals on Amazon review trader! I don't have a big list of things since this is number two but I have successfully crossed over $100 worth of items off my list for under $10!
upcoming appts: two more weeks
gtky, one week In Europe: that's a good one! I'm lucky enough that I've been able to travel several times to Europe and even studied abroad there in college so I've been to most of the 'biggies'. My all time favorite place I've been is Croatia - seriously, do yourself and favor and just google this country and look at the pictures. It's beyond amazing! Of the places I have yet to go Spain and Portugul are at the top of my list.
Symptoms: LO is transverse and in a weird spot, so I've been having some hip pain as a result, otherwise I feel good
Rants/Raves/Stories: at my last appointment the OB told me only 2 of the 4 physicians at my practice are comfortable with TOLAC, but they are both extremely supportive and are committed to coming in under any circumstances for someone who is trying to have a VBAC. I signed all the paperwork to commit to attempting a VBAC and now I'm waiting on the surgical coordinator to call me to set up an RCS as a back up plan. It's getting real now ahhhh.
Upcoming Appointments: I have one next week
Questions:
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?: If only one place, I would go back to Greece. We went for a few days on our honeymoon and I would love to spend more time there. We got to check out Santorini, Mykonos, and Athens but there is so much more I would love to see.
Symptoms: Possibly losing my mucus plug?!?! TMI-but had a big blob once yesterday afternoon and had more this morning when I wiped. I don't remember losing it with DD, so I could be totally wrong. Waiting to hear back from OB.
Rants/Raves/Stories: I am so over wearing pants. Thank goodness I crossed over to the other side and have accepted leggings into my life. Maxi dresses and leggings for the next 11 (hopefully) weeks!
Upcoming Appointments: Next Tuesday
Questions:
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?: I would either go back to Germany (I did a 2-month study abroad the summer between sophomore and junior year in high school) or Greece. My girlfriends and I keep talking about doing Greece when we all turn 50...hopefully that will happen!
Symptoms: aside from this massive head cold, my symptoms haven't been bad.
Rants/Raves/Stories: We picked up the car seat and stroller last night! And I proceeded to roll them around the house for a solid hour. So excited to meet this little guy!
Upcoming Appointments: I've moved to every two weeks now.. So next Friday!
Questions:
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?:
Italy or Greece! I've never made it to Europe.. We've talked about that being the first big trip we take when the kiddo is older.
Symptoms: none at this point since things have changed.
Rants/Raves/Stories: my water broke Monday, so I've been in the hospital on bed rest since then. I've been on antibiotics, magnesium (terrible but good stuff) and fluids. Got two shots for baby's lungs. Took me off magnesium because my body couldn't tolerate it and my blood pressure was way too low, oxygen was lower. So now we're doing an alternative to the magnesium, but just until 7pm. I only have to be on something for 48 hours. Later today I'll be able to walk around and shower. I'll be here until he decides to come. We don't know when that will be. If I go in to labor they won't stop it now, they've done everything they can to give him the best start.
Upcoming Appointments: none right now, just seeing dr's as they come to my hospital room to discuss plans. I did have an ultrasound Tuesday to double check everything is ok and check fluid (he has almost none left) and he's weighing about 3 1/2-4 lbs.
Questions: none right now, just trying to mentally prepare to give birth in the next week when I thought I had 8. Also trying to prepare for the NICU stay we'll have.
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?: All over! There are so many places I want to see, but I think Italy is on the top of my list right now.
Symptoms: heartburn and frequent bathroom trips
Rants/Raves/Stories: Last night DH put headphones on my belly and played some music for baby. It was so cool to see my stomach move and twitch, I think baby was having a dance party
Upcoming Appointments: Had a regular checkup at my OB's office on Monday, next up is 2/16 for a more thorough US at the hospital
Questions:
GTKY (I keep stealing these from TTGP!) You have one week in Europe, where do you go?: Oooo this is a tough one. I would either want to see the Northern Lights in Iceland, go back to Greece (I went with a friend after college, DH has never been), or go to Switzerland
Symptoms: Feeling achy and uncomfortable, plus peeing all the time.
Rants / Raves / Stories: Tried to take my glucose challenge this week after a prenatal appointment. The lady at the lab spotted my coffee cup and decreed that because I was drinking coffee (black and decaf) I would have to sit in the office and fast for an hour before she could give me the orange drink, even though my doctor had been clear that no fasting was required for the one hour test. Will have to try again later and deviously hide the coffee cup.
Upcoming Appointments: On the two-week schedule now, so week of the 22nd.
Questions: In keeping with our GTKY this week, I have a travel-related question for the STMs out there. My SIL is going to be studying in France for the next year. DH and I would love to go visit her, but we're worried about a long flight with the baby. How early were your LOs able to travel reasonably well?
GTKY - One Week in Europe: I love Munich. DH and I have both been there, but never together, so it would be great to finally get to do that.
I would probably wait to make official plans until after you LO is here of course, and you've had some time to get to know their personality.
@blonde151188 thinking of you and baby, all the best for a healthy labor when the time comes.
