Re: PGAL weekly checkin 11.14.16
2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue? 33wks, team blue
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I'm more anxious about when I'll deliver. My EDD is 1/2 but I'm scared if he comes earlier because my sister (who is supposed to watch my daughter in case I go into labor) will be out of town until 12/29. I went 10 days late with my daughter, but who knows how it'll go with this one.
5. When is your next appointment? Next Monday at 34 wks
7. Anything else on your mind? We just hired a professional organizer to come in this week and declutter our place. We live in NYC so space is extremely tight and we are somehow planning to put a toddler bed into my daughter's room in addition to the crib and all the crazy toys and newborn stuff (jumper, swing, etc.) I'm scared to see how much stuff I'm going to have to chuck.
8. GTKY - let's have some positive thinking this week - what do you like about yourself? I think I'm pretty unbiased and nonjudgemental. My friends can always feel open to tell me things without feeling like they are being criticized.
32w1d with an EDD of 1/8/17. I'm still team pink!
I'm feeling extremely pregnant. Swollen feet and hands- I'm wearing shoes a 1/2 size bigger than my normal size and had to remove my wedding band this weekend (the engagement ring has been off for about a month). My back is achy almost all of the time and I'm short of breathe frequently. All of the digestive issues associated with pregnancy are in full gear too. Insomnia is starting to feel normal though, and even though taking a daily nap would be heaven I know I can cope without. Very much looking forward to having this little girl in my arms vs in my uterus in 2ish months.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Over the past week I was either excited about everything or freaking out because her movements are as strong. My husband and I probably used the fetal monitor 3 times over the past week. This morning we had our 32 week growth scan at MFM and everything is prefect- so my anxiety has shifted to how big her head is going to be- which I'm perfectly happy to have anxiety over.
5. When is your next appointment?
Today was the 32 week growth scan and tomorrow I have a regular OB appointment.
My rave this week is about the hospital we will be delivering at. We had the hospital tour on Saturday and the building is only 4 years old, so all the rooms are private and self controls for temperature. The babies stay with mom as much as mom wants- but there is a nursery if you want to be able to truly rest for a little while. There is a scheduled nap time everyday between 1-3pm, where I can request for no visits or distributions and at 3pm after nap time is over- they come around with ice cream and toppings.

8. GTKY - let's have some positive thinking this week - what do you like about yourself?
Physically my best feature is my eyes. My mom's side of the family all have incredible eyes ( I have an uncle who's eyes are a shade of light blue that almost makes them look clear). Mine are green, but change color. I'm really hoping this LO ends up with my eyes. Personality wise, I was always very independent. I also hope that she is able to navigate this world without relying too much on other people.
BFP#4- 9/26 edd 6/5/18
29+3, blue and we have a date! CSection on Jan 20!!
Tired, VERY emotional (I apologize to the Target checkout girl for my crying), a little heartburn at night.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
About the baby? Fine. Everything else is up for grabs.
5. When is your next appointment?
Nov. 22, we're in 2-week zone now.
Hormones. Stress. Family. Holidays. Projects. I just can't even right now. I feel better after a good cry last night and talking to my sister who is going to stay with us while the baby is born (since my mom cancelled to "stay home with her dogs", again, I can't even). But overall, I'm emotionally unstable. whoo hoo!
7. Anything else on your mind?
I am listening to Christmas music to keep my sanity and me happy. If I could, I'd have my tree up today.
8. GTKY - let's have some positive thinking this week - what do you like about yourself?
Mmmm...right now? Physically, my eyes. Other than that, I guess my sense of humor.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
Team Pink - 32 weeks tomorrow 1/10
My back is continuing to be a problem for me, but going to the chiropractor helps a ton. Bigger problem for me right now is not fully pregnancy related but I got asthmatic bronchitis and have been coughing for more than 2 weeks already. Already took a round of antibiotics and am taking asthma inhalers. My primary doctor wanted me to take oral prednisone but I've refused so far.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Nervous about all the meds I've been on the past 2 weeks but otherwise feeling okay. Baby is moving a lot which helps me stay reassured.
5. When is your next appointment?
Friday
29 weeks 5 days, due Jan 25, team blue
Overly Emotional/hormonal and finding myself getting fatigued a lot more easily.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Not very well. I feel like these next 10 weeks are just going to creep by. It's almost my stillborn baby's birthday, so I know that's causing a lot of anxiety too.
5. When is your next appointment?
Thursday.
I don't want to be like "me me me" but I am feeling really unsupported by my family. My parents just opened a bar, so the only time I see my mom is if I go there to eat lunch and she's is always doing something. My grandma took an out of state work assignment, and I just found out she took another one and won't be back until the end of February so she'll miss this baby being born. My husband is amazing but it's hard for two scared nervous people to really make each other feel better. I just want to be asked "how are you doing?" and to not feel like I have to say "fine."
33w1d, Jan 4, Team Pink
Pregnancy symptoms are okay. Baby gets the hiccups every night around 11 pm, which drive me crazy, but I can deal. Otherwise, mild insomnia, general aches and pains, etc.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Pretty good. Baby kicks are almost constant these days.
5. When is your next appointment?
Nov 29th - my last two week appt! From there on out I'll be seen once a week!
This. damn. cold. Or whatever the hell it is. I'm so sick and barely functioning. I hate it so much and nothing is comforting at all. My dr. told me to take some Dayquil, which does a crap-ton of nothing. And as of this morning, I have started coughing so much, and it hurts so badly. I haven't been this sick in a long time.
7. Anything else on your mind?
I'm so ready for thanksgiving dinner! (And to see my family, haha)
8. GTKY - let's have some positive thinking this week - what do you like about yourself?
I like my balance of science-side and creative-side. They go hand in hand, but are also beneficial separately.
33 weeks today. EDD is Jan 4 but being induced Dec 28. Team Blue
Exhausted. BH contractions are starting to get way intense!
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Pretty good. We are in the stage of he should be ok.
5. When is your next appointment?
Next Tuesday
Had to rearrange my work schedule. Have to be on the phones due to my contractions. It was either that or stop working until baby comes.
7. Anything else on your mind?
8. GTKY - let's have some positive thinking this week - what do you like about yourself?
I love my eyes and hair and my singing voice.
4. Anxiety? There's been a lot of anxiety because I feel so "normal" - I've listened to her more these past few days than I think I have in the last month. I don't often feel TONS of kicks and movement, which tends to make me worry - like why aren't her movements driving me crazy by now??
5. When is your next appointment? We are having a 3D ultrasound done next Tuesday (!) and then my next OB appointment will be on 11/30 (every 2 weeks now)
Raves: Hawaii was amazing, even if we were only there for a couple of days. Baby and I handled the flight well and I had such a nice time getting to actually spend time with DH.
Rants: Finding a substitute teacher to teach middle school math is proving to be... a hassle. Leaving my "lovelies" in the hands of a sub for 8ish weeks is one of my biggest worries.
7. Anything else on your mind? So many things to do/get! Also, I hate to be jouvenile, but I'm a little upset that I don't really know enough people to get to have a baby shower. I have my "work friends" but don't see anything happening there, and DH has some friends/family in Vegas but no on is planning anything there either. Not that I NEED a baby shower, but the celebration time (and baby supplies) would be nice...
8. GTKY - let's have some positive thinking this week - what do you like about yourself?
I've always been told that I have a nice smile, so I take pride in that. My patience is a virtue - and even when no one else does, I appreciate my own sense of humor. Lol
