Re: PGAL 6/6
1. How far along are you? 19w3d
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Movement that DH can feel, and u/s in 8 weeks to see if the partial placenta previa is taking care of itself.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: first bummer is still the placenta previa. Doctor entered it as partial, even though it isn't actually covering any of my cervix, just very close. Just seeing those words on my portal file really sucks. Fingers crossed that it takes care of itself.
Second is a mixed rave. I did a major overhaul of both of our bathrooms this weekend and found so many opks and negative pregnancy tests. I thought I had tossed most of them a long time ago, but they kept popping up. The quantity I got through reminded me of how long and lonely the journey was to this point, but it is so nice to throw them away and know that stage is done!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I have pretty eclectic taste, but lately I've been loving Genghis Khan by Miike Snow.
22+6
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Hitting the 30 week mark I suppose and getting another quarter down.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I hope everybody is keeping themselves comfortable!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now?
I haven't really been stuck on one particular song lately, but I have been revisiting my Coheed and Cambria collection and am having an awesome time being thrown back into the storyline and just listening to their sound.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? A/S tomorrow!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Starting to feel little one quite regularly on the inside at least.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? The new Justin Timberlake song is super catchy. There is a Tanzanian group called Navy Kenzo that has a song that is super popular right now called "Kamata chini" and it's played everywhere all the time and always stuck in my head
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? July 22nd. My high-risk doctor believes 28 weeks is viability. He uses this as a goal to get to, that basically means 90-95 chance of survival with little to no lasting illness or neurological defects. I will be 28 weeks on 7/22. Of course I will relax a little at the 24 week mark too.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I still just want to sleep non-stop. Oh and I am starting to retain water in my feet. They look like puffy sausages. Yuck!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I really like Pink's "Beam me up". It is a song about child loss and it makes me think about my love for my daughter who I lost two years ago due to IC. Even though I have a son on the way, I still will never quit wanting my daughter here with me.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My July 11 appointment and GD test.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have a small cold right now, but pregnancy-wise I'm feeling really good. I hope this lasts for a little while at least! I also posted my prenatal vitamin saga in the bitchfest thread and won't bore all of you with it again here
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Hmm, this is a hard one for me. Probably This Love by Taylor Swift.
1. How far along are you?
19+5
)
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? to show up that cute round belly, my DH to feel those baby moves, and in my next u/s to finally get to know if its a baby boy or a girl
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy, knowing that they are a lot of women who are not capable of having babies, stay positive, when you finally have your babies in arms you won't even remember all of your crazy symptoms (at least that's what I'm hoping
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Major Lazer - Lean On, and many more I love Music... But that particular one makes me wanna dance...
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? actually feeling this sucker move clearly and regularly - I feel like I'm behind everyone else! plus then I can stop worrying that not feeling stuff or not feeling much means there's something wrong
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: just the movement thing, really - it's been consuming me for weeks
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I don't really listen to music except the radio when I'm driving, and I've been off the past few weeks, so I don't know. I've found myself whistling the Indiana Jones theme song lately for no reason...
1. How far along are you? 20w4d
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? When I can feel him moving more consistently and when DH can feel him move.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We had our A/S this morning and it went so well, so I'm on a happy high from that, so I'm feeling good today! The only negative I'm noticing recently is my feet getting sore quicker and slightly swelling.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I listen to a random mix of music, but I am a big fan of the new Justin Timberlake song
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? A/S on Wednesday cannot wait to see this baby!!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My feet are swelling as well lately and the heat is really getting to me, which makes me feel like I might miss out on a lot over the summer.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Can't think of anything off the top of my head but stuck on country right now.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan next week (finally)!! And being at the halfway point.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling baby boy move on a more consistent basis, and can't wait for DH to finally be able to feel it!! I still get tired so easily. I wasn't able to take my normal naps this weekend as we had gatherings to attend and errands to run. I have a feeling it's going to be a long exhausting week.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Blues Traveler, Hook. Also on a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan kick.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Viability! I know lots could still go wrong but I can't believe I almost made it to that point!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rant(sort of?) - I started definitely feeling the baby move and kick (I think seeing it on the ultrasound last week helped me be sure it really was her) but I think it's weird and I feel really guilty for being kinda/completely grossed out by it. Rave - Fetal echocardiogram went well (even though I have to go back in 4 weeks) and the dr didn't see anything concerning from the pics they were able to get!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Drake - One Dance (I started out not really liking it but then it got completely stuck in my head!)
1. How far along are you? 22 weeks
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? still waiting patiently on viability day
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I started feeling baby's kicks on the outside this weekend!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I can't get enough of Way Down We Go by Kaleo

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Viability tomorrow
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have been on so much medicine for sickness, that it makes me sick thinking about it.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Sound of silence by Disturbed
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Big anatomy scan on Thursday! I can't wait.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I need to stop eating so much! I feel like I have the stomach of a teenaged boy (and the metabolism of his fifty year old mom!). I have hypothyroidism and I'm concerned with gaining too much. It was so tough getting the weight off with my other pregnancies.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I'm on a serious Beatles kick right now. Aside from that, my boys want to watch Princess and the Frog daily so those songs have been stuck in my head, and they're pretty catchy.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Growth scan at 26 weeks - hoping my low placenta will have gained some height!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Sore back - just always sore. Can't quite ever get comfortable. Guessing this will be a consistent rant now through October...
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Loving the new JT song "Can't Stop the Feeling" - such a fun summer song! Also, I'm a bit of a country fan, and currently loving Dierks Bentley's "Somewhere on a Beach" and Frankie Ballard's "It All Started With A Beer" - cuz it reminds me of me and the hubs.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? viability (though i don't think i will relax completely until about 28-30 weeks) and we have an appointment on monday, so i'm excited to see my little again.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: pregnancy-wise, i feel pretty good. minor aches and pains and episodes of sciatica, but overall good. i've been on this crazy emotional roller coaster lately, so that's sucks big time, but i'm just trying to have more ups than downs at this point. any suggestions on what helps you ladies?
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I really like the new Justin Timberlake song.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Viability, and my next ultrasound at 24 weeks. We had an ultrasound today, which confirmed we are having another boy. Everything looked great except my placenta is lying a bit low, but dr. didn't seem really concerned at this point. She said we would keep a close eye on it, but that she thinks it will move up as I get further along.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling pretty positive about having another boy, but I'm definitely sad as well. Sometimes it's hard to accept that this little boy will be okay when my first son was not. I'm worried that my placenta is going to fail again even though the chance of it happening twice is slim. Also, I'm excited to be at 20 weeks, but from now on, all I can think about is if something happens and this little boy doesn't make it then I will have another stillbirth. It's terrifying to think about it.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I listen to pretty much anything. I am not picky. If it has a good beat, then chances are I am enjoying it.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? When our next scan is. I already had the AS at 19 weeks. When is the next one? My doctor only mentioned that the next big thing coming up is the glucose test at around 28 weeks.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm trying to delay maternity clothes as much as possible. I wore pants that were a bit too tight at work yesterday. I know this sounds silly, but PGAL brain makes me question everything... Baby is OK right? It will not restrict growth?
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? I know it's old now and overplayed, but still really like the song Work From Home by Fifth Harmony.
@mrscorker there's a few people in general (don't rem if they were PGAL or just O16 regs) that I wonder about sometimes
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Another scan at the end of the month (thanks GD!) July 10 is my next big day in my mind though. I've kept baby news off of FB, etc entirely (except here) just so I can surprise a huge bunch of my ol Knottie friends at a big Colorado GTG. They have no idea and I'll get to spend the last days of my 2nd tri walking around the corner to meet them and give them one heck of a surprise! It's gonna be so epic! And they they'll probably hit me for keeping them in the dark.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I used to handle weather changes really well. Well it was 72 yesterday and delightful and now that it's 92 and humid today I want to die! I feel like there's a furnace in my belly making it 120F
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Literally have not been able to get "Just around the riverbend" from Disney's Pocahontas out of my head. And I don't mind.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Still awaiting viability day, one more week, though much more anxious to get to 32 weeks. Also anxious for my appointment on 6/17 at the perinatologist where they will be checking to see if the baby's arrhythmia has resolved or if it's still there. Praying it's gone away and we don't need a fetal echocardiogram.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am having terrible pregnancy insomnia. I haven't slept past 4:30am in nearly 2 weeks. It makes the days SO much longer when I am up so ridiculously early. I'm thrilled the baby is moving around much more and I'm feeling consistent movement - it helps my PGAL brain and I haven't had to use my Doppler has much. DH got to feel kicks for the first time this week which was so special!!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman - go check it out all of you mamas...it's the most beautiful song to dedicate to your little one. I heard it for the first time a couple months ago and I listen to it repetitively because it so perfectly captures my emotions.
1. How far along are you? 21 weeks.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My next big ultrasound in 6 weeks. So far away!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling Hazelnut move a ton this week and it reassures me that he or she is okay in there. I pray.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite song right now? UO: I'm not much of a music person.
My boss announced she was pregnant yesterday. I am thrilled for her!! She is PGAL herself and I am so happy she made it to 12 weeks for the first time, and felt comfortable enough to announce.
All happy thoughts yesterday about how I have another pregnant woman in the office to talk to, yadda yadda yadda. Then today - bam. I was all of a sudden all paranoid that I am going to lose my baby, and have to watch her go through her whole pregnancy. These thoughts are so frustrating. Why can't I just be content and happy for someone instead of worrying about this. Hopefully this anxiety eases up soon...I feel myself stressing over this and now I'm stressing over stressing. Endless horrible cycle of PGAL thoughts....
