5. Questions: None
6. GTKY: What was your first job and when did you have it? I worked at a video rental store in high school. It was a super easy job. A manager worked during the day but they let us 16 year olds manage the store by ourselves at night. Why? I don't know.
3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: Had my first appointment with my regular OB today. Made everything feel a little bit more real. She came in the room smiling and hugged me and said she was so excited to see me so soon. We struggled for over 4 years to conceive our son we lost so we had already discussed if I wasn't pregnant after trying for 6 months what we would do. I'm just so thankful for such a caring OB and hospital system we go to.
4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: NT scan on the 20th. We didn't do any screening with our son and I never thought about the 'what ifs'. This baby we decided we wanted all the info and I'm so nervous about the results. Funny how that works.
5. Questions: I just got prescribes Diclegis. Any one else using it? Is it helping?
6. GTKY: My first job was at a nursing home when I was 15-1/2. It was a difficult job but paid so well for a high school job. Paid for a trip to Spain.
2. How far along are you? EDD? 28+3, June 24
3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: right now I'm trying to research booster car seats for my son. He's ready to move up from his current car seat and holy cow I'm overwhelmed. So many choices. Why is it so hard? Someone just point me in the direction of the safest option and I'll buy that one. Rave; I started my maternity leave last week!! I'm ready to nest but waiting on the nursery to be finished. And I passed my glucose test. Phew!
4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: it seems early to say this but birth I guess. Not really any more big milestones to hit.
5. Questions: none right now.
6. GTKY: What was your first job and when did you have it? Waitress at Pizza Hut in college. It was awful. I have a huge amount of respect for anyone who can wait tables and not lose it on mean customers.
2. How far along are you? EDD? 6W 2d Nov. 26
3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: Not a big fan of a few inches of snow on the ground in April!
4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: 1st Ultrasound next Monday
5. Questions: Asked this in my month board too, but can toddlers sense pregnancy? Could be that I'm on s short rope last few days, but little one has seemed super whiny.
6. GTKY: What was your first job and when did you have it? Besides babysitting, 1st job was a cashier at Shoprite. I hated it. I remember right before 4th of July (store was really busy) I had ran out of dollar bills so gave some guy $1 coins rather than making him wait for a sup. to change out money. The guy cursed and threw them at me. After that swore I never wanted to work as a cashier again.

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: Just happy!! Love my Dr and the staff there, so thankful to be in a great office. Heard a good strong HB today and it's always a relief and gets me through a few more days. Nursery is ready to go besides steaming curtains and maybe tweaking some of the decor. Back aches are worse and pelvic pressure has gotten pretty intense! I'm still working through a list of things I want to get done. Although I've checked off most of it, I'm sure I'll still be working on it when he gets here. This morning I sat in bed thinking he could be here in two weeks or less. I can't believe it's so close!

Birth!
5. Questions:

3. Rants/Raves/Randoms: Had a growth scan, baby looks good but my fluid level is lower then they wanted. So follow up in one week. Depending on that scan I'll either be induced next week or the following!! 2 w or less before my rainbow arrives!!! Can't wait, so much to do!!
4. Next milestone you are looking forward to: Tuesdays follow up check on fluid levels! Then birth!
5. Questions: Any insight on low fluid levels?
