Re: PGAL Check In - August 1
30 weeks 6 days
How are you feeling mentally/physically?
Mentally, I have done a complete 180° and feel sane and happy and stable. Physically, just feeling pregnant AF.
Upcoming milestones/appointments?
Just waiting on 35 weeks, next appointment is next Wednesday. I'm not sure what they'll be doing, but I do know cervix checks are just around the corner, which I'm not looking forward to!
Rants/Raves/Anything else?
Nah.
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year?
So far I can't rave about any of the 2016 releases =/ the ones I had looked forward to the most didn't really meet my expectations. Womp womp.
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Mostly good. Realized I'm kinda starting to freak out about the "finish line" and what life will look like with a baby! Othewise as @allythekid said "feeling pregnant AF"
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Next apt isn't until 3 weeks from now
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Meh
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I loved x-men apocalypse
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Mentally: Pretty good right now. I'm sure the anxiety will set in as I get closer to my appointment next week. Physically: Blah. Exhausted, dealing with random sciatic pain, backaches, heartburn, and swelling ankles.
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Finally hit third trimester!!! I guess my next milestone is meeting this little guy. I have an appointment next week Friday to make sure my placenta is moving up, as well as for a Rhogam shot.
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Rave: my Mom is coming to visit in a couple weeks!! I think it will be the last time we see each other before the baby comes. I'm treating her to a spa day so we can have some quality time alone together. I'm greatly looking forward to it!! Rant: Zika is in Florida. I'm not panicking, but it sucks that the mosquitos have made it to the U.S.
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I can't think of one movie that was released in the past year that I was super excited to see, or that I left saying WOW. So I'll say my favorite movie this year has been any debate with Donald Trump. So entertaining, but also scary at the same time. I am greatly looking forward to the upcoming presidential debates!!
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Hot. So hot. And swollen. And achy. But I'll take it!
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Appt tomorrow! I'll see when she wants to start doing the NSTs and any other appts. Getting down to the wire!
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? We had the first of our 2 showers yesterday! It is getting so real! Afterwards a my shower hosts, DH, my mom and I had takeout at our house and while we were lounging around the baby decided to do gymnastics. Everyone was pretty excited to see all the movement!
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? Deadpool! I thought it was so funny!
BFP #1: 7/15/15, SB: 11/14/15
Rainbow baby DS born 9/29/16!!
BFP #3 3/26/18 | Due 12/3/18
How are you feeling mentally/physically? I'm falling apart. Baby isn't even here and the demands post-birth from family are already getting me down having to explain to everyone that NO they will no be coming to live with us for 2 weeks so they can play with baby while I cater to them...
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Nothing big. I start every week appointments this Friday morning.
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? I just want to be selfish for a bit. This is our rainbow baby. Is it so wrong to want mommy and me time?
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? Deadpool was amazing!! Jungle Book was a close second though,
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Physically not bad, just still aches and pains. Mentally I'm worrying about him getting here and how we arent ready yet. We move the weekend of the 27th and I just think I will feel better once we are in the house we are bringing him home in and he has a room.
Upcoming milestones/appointments? I have an appt Friday. Hoping we go to every 2 week appts after this!
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Eh, just stressed about the upcoming move and ready for it to be done and over with.
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I cant remember anything right now, let alone what movies have come out so far this year. I'll just go with two we saw recently which was Finding Dory and the Secret Life of Pets. Both were super cute!
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Physically doing ok, I'm not miserable but I'm uncomfortable. Mentally I'm doing ok as well. The latest birth announcement on the September board got me a little panicky. She delivered at 34 weeks and was induced due to Pre-E. I have no reason to worry about that, in fact, my BP was on the low end of normal at my last appointment but it's a fear of mine. I know that a healthy, living baby is the goal and if that means a NICU stay, then so be it but I would be devastated. I just want a non complicated delivery with immediate skin to skin and snuggles and breastfeeding and I would just lose it if he was ripped from me and taken away.
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Next appointment is on 8/16. Looking forward to hitting 30 weeks!
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? We're so close yet so far!
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? Finding Nemo was super freaking cute. I also laughed a lot at Central Intelligence with The Rock and Kevin Hart.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
The Rock's character reminded me of one of my best friends from highschool... big, buff, and a total softy with sexually questionable interests haha
How are you feeling mentally/physically? totally not ready, totally too tired to do anything, totally want to ignore all of my non-baby obligations (and my baby obligations)...
Upcoming milestones/appointments? waiting for the results of my three-hour glucose test! hope it doesn't mess with my baby shower this coming Saturday, which I'm really looking forward to
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? I'm too tired to rant or rave
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I don't even know that I've seen any movies released this year. Also I can't remember really liking a movie in a long time.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16

DS Born 10/16/16
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Physically just tired a lot and having a hard time getting around with swollen feet and a huge stomach. Mentally I am just freaked out a little, still scared something will go wrong even though we are closing in on the end of the pregnancy. Can't imagine what this little man is going to look like.
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Can't wait for 30 weeks
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Failed my GD test so I have to take the 3 hour one this weekend, trying to eat better and get some more walking in.

Rants/Raves/Anything Else?
Over the baby shower stuff. My MIL is such a pain and my mom seems to think that I should deal with her even tho they're co-hosts. I didn't mind takin beg care of the invitations since I had to make the guest list and get addresses anyway, but I'm not sure why I have to be a go between for them.
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year?
Toss up between Start Trek Beyond and Captain America: Civil War! We had our first date night in forever last week and saw ST. Baby boy didn't care for it tho, he would jump at every loud noise! Lol
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Mentally useless, irritable, and getting anxious. Physically uncomfortable, but I'm still not quite "done." Only having 8 weeks left (max) and having finally started the nursery decorating brought up some PGAL "what ifs"....
Upcoming milestones/appointments? U/s and MFM at the end of next week
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Irritated with work and people today, I can't even.
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I didn't see it in theaters (I think it came out in 2015) but saw it recently, Get Hard was pretty funny
How are you feeling mentally/physically? Feeling ok. I get tired easily.
Upcoming milestones/appointments? Growth ultrasound tomorrow and regular appointment Thursday
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Found out I have gestational diabetes so that's a bummer.
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I don't get to watch many movies. I liked Finding Dory.
How are you feeling mentally/physically? I am feeling pretty fantastic this week. I do get pretty run down after running around for 12 hours on the days I work, but I try to get plenty of rest on my days off.
Upcoming milestones/appointments? I had a regular OB appointment yesterday. Everything was good there, and I passed my GD test. I had a growth scan today, and baby boy is approximately 2 lbs 7 oz, and my placenta and fluid both look wonderful. My doc gave me an A+ for the visit. My next scan is August 31st, and then I started going weekly until the end! Eeek! It feels like the home stretch!
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Apparently, this little one is following in the footsteps of his big brother and will have a head full of hair. We were able to get an US pic of his hair standing on end of! I am super happy about it because I was bald my first year of life lol
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? I really enjoyed Deadpool and Pride and Prejudice Zombies. However, I'm really looking forward to November when Fantastic Beasts comes out.
30.
How are you feeling mentally/physically?
Ugh. GD+sciatica+Iron pills+Hypothyroidism makes for days when I'm pretty sad. Other day I'm better but this pregnancy has definitely been hard.
Upcoming milestones/appointments?
I have an appointment today with a nutritionist at the diabetic center and there they'll teach me how to use the equipment to check my blood and all that. I was scheduled for an Elective US yesterday but they had to reachedule because of their machines was down. So Friday at 2:15.
Rants/Raves/Anything Else? Not really. It's hot. Lol
GTKY: What has been your favorite movie released this year? Zootopia was really cute and I thought it was also pretty deep for a children's movie! I wanted to see Deadpool but didn't get a chance. But we're seeing Suicide Squad this weekend.
