how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
24weeks the end of this week. 2/4/16 but delivering 1/8. Baby boy!

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
I'm exhausted and getting big! Each pregnancy is harder for sure.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
I have my 24week scan tomorrow which I am nervous about. 24 weeks is when my last stopped growing and I'm anxious to find out if he is still on track. I feel like time is going by painfully slow right now.
EDITED- baby measured in at 1lb 8oz which is fabulous (23w4d)! Only 1oz short of my last daughter's birth weight! BP was perfect and MFM said I didn't need to come back for 4 weeks! YAY!

5. When is your next appointment? Tomorrow MFM next week OB.

6. Rants/raves/whatever
I'm finally starting to really gain weight which is a good sign!

7. Anything else on your mind?
Can we fast forward to jan please??
8. GTKY - what tv show are you watching these days?
If it's not kid movie, I don't watch TV anymore!

1. Tell us about yourself (if your first participating): Hi everyone! I've participated before but then I resorted to lurking. I commented on the lurker thread last week and I'd like to get to know you ladies more so here I am! I'm a STM...my daughter was stillborn January 8, 2016 at 28 weeks. At our A/S we found out that she had several heart defects so we were trying to make it to 32 weeks so she would have a chance for survival and surgery.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue? 20 weeks today. February 28, team green

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms): No symptoms...just some occasional soreness in my hips. I'm thankful for every kick, toss, and turn--except for the dance party at 4am this morning. Now I'm exhausted and ready to leave work.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise): My anxiety was through the roof until last week at my A/S. We confirmed that all 4 chambers of rainbow's heart are there. I cried tears of joy all week. My next milestone is to get past 28 weeks and while I know that it is more probable now than before due to no defects, I still some slight anxiety and fears that this can't be real.

5. When is your next appointment? November 4

6. Rants/raves/whatever: nothing.

7. Anything else on your mind? not today

8. GTKY - what tv show are you watching these days? This is Us and How to Get Away with Murder.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue? 21w1d, 2/20/17, Team Blue

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms): Alright... I hate sleeping on my side because I wake up every two hours with a super sore hip. Also, peeing all the time. And round ligament pain is becoming a PITA - when I go on walks, it starts up after a few minutes and doesn't go away until I stop walking. It's annoying.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise): Alright... I have been feeling anxious the past few days because I feel like I don't look as pregnant as I "should". I look at the HDBD thread and everyone seems to have these cute round bellies, and I just feel... Blah and flabby. Like I'm not growing fast enough. But I do feel baby moving every day, so that is reassuring, and I need to remember that some people don't "look" as pregnant until a little later.

5. When is your next appointment?:10/17 for monthly checkup

6. Rants/raves/whatever: Rant: H was supposed to be moved to day shift a month ago, but he is still stuck on graveyard until they can fill that shift. Rave: The PR company that my work contracts sends these amazing sugar cookies with buttercream icing to the office before every holiday, and I came in to find a pumpkin-shaped sugar cookie on my desk. I'm saving it for when I feel like I really need it.

7. Anything else on your mind? I have to fly halfway across the country in two weeks for a job interview. Fly out Monday, back Tuesday. Not looking forward to it, and it's been on my mind for the past two weeks. I just want it to be over.

8. GTKY - what tv show are you watching these days? H and I are watching House of Cards, and on nights he works I watch Once Upon a Time. It's my guilty pleasure show.

Spicyweiner · October 2016

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
Team pink!

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
As long as I take my B6 and Unisom I feel pretty good.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Pretty great with that too. I feel her constantly so that's always a nice peace of mind.

5. When is your next appointment?
Thursday.

6. Rants/raves/whatever
the heartburn and sciatica started much earlier this time.

7. Anything else on your mind?
Nah.

8. GTKY - what tv show are you watching these days?
I just started watching Empire and I'm digging it

annewheeler2 · October 2016

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
20 weeks, feb 26th, team pink

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Pretty good besides random sciatica

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Tonight's rough. My anatomy scan is in the morning and I have bad anxiety. I haven't felt as much movement so that's messing with me

5. When is your next appointment?
Tomorrow morning

6. Rants/raves/whatever
H booked me a pregnancy massage in two weeks and I'm counting down the days

7. Anything else on your mind?

8. GTKY - what tv show are you watching these days?
This is us, the voice, and how to get away with murder

catiecatp · October 2016

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue? 22 weeks, EDD Feb 14 team pink

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) - I had my first Charly horse in my life (in my leg) and I can't believe how painful it was! I actually called out to DH to come into the bedroom to confirm it was what I thought it was... still limping a bit today... feel her move some days more than others - I can't wait for that to be more consistent.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) - ok - actually much better than I thought I'd be

5. When is your next appointment? Halloween

6. Rants/raves/whatever - not much here

7. Anything else on your mind? one of our cats is really really sick - she's not responding to treatment and we may loose her. I'm beside myself and crying most nights. We can't get her to eat is the most pressing issue - but she doesn't like fish so tuna isn't tempting to her... we have a second vet visit booked for Friday, fingers crossed that she starts eating. I know this is peanuts to a MC, but it is one of my current major stressors...

8. GTKY - what tv show are you watching these days? we've decided not to get cable yet - I'm too busy with work and we could use an expense cut. Right now we're watching old episodes of Angel

FreshBakedBrownies · October 2016

@catiecatp I'm sorry your cat is sick! Did your vet diagnose anything specific?
Some cats that don't care for fish might like warmed up meat baby food. Gerber makes a turkey baby food that's just puréed turkey. I've known some cats that really like it.

madamerwin · October 2016

@catiecatp I'm sorry to hear about your cat

I hate when my pets get sick. I hope you can find something she wants to eat?

@raptormomma I hope your anatomy scan went well!

annewheeler2 · October 2016

@madamerwin thank you! She couldn't tell us anything but the pictures all looked good!
