3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms): Tired. Nauseous. RL Pain. Pinched nerve.

6. Rants/raves/whatever: I wish I could breathe. I miss that the most.

7. Anything else on your mind?: Hopefully the holidays make this last trimester fly by.

8. GTKY - does your family celebrate a winter holiday? Have you started decorating for it?: We celebrate Hanukkah. I will put out the menorah and some fairy lights on the mantle this upcoming weekend, and switch the fall for winter decorations (cinnamon pinecones and winter scented candle).

1. Tell us about yourself (if your first participating) I've been MIA for a long time.....I joined the bump around June 2015. We started TTC in January 2015 and I was looking for support/people to lean on. I found just that here. I had my gallbladder removed in Oct 2015 and they found/removed endometriosis. I firmly believe that is how I got my first BFP a year ago today (11.30.15). Unfortunately baby didn't stick and it was confirmed I miscarried on Dec 16th. June 8, 2016 I received my second BFP and I am currently 29 weeks Pregnant today.

I'm sorry I've been MIA. I have been covering for two ladies out on maternity leave at work so I've been working a lot more plus getting ready for my own leave. Needless to say not much time for social media.

2. How far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue? 29 weeks. Team Blue!!

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) I've been tired and my back is starting to hurt daily. I've randomly have gotten sick the last two days as well.

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I'm doing well. I'm more excited than anything at the moment.

5. When is your next appointment? Next Wednesday. 30 week U/S

6. Rants/raves/whatever I don't know how I should feel today. I'm a strong believer that the day you find out you are pregnant is the day you become a mother so I'm making today my own special "Mother's day". I'm sad that I lost my first child and know that the next two weeks are going to be difficult; but on the other hand I have a very active son inside me and I know I only have 11 weeks (approximately) until he's in my arms.

7. Anything else on your mind? no

8. GTKY - does your family celebrate a winter holiday? Have you started decorating for it? We celebrate Christmas. We put the tree up last Saturday and the outside lights up Sunday. I'm very much looking forward to this Christmas because last year I didn't feel up to celebrating it.

2. How far along are you? EDD? Team green, pink, or blue? 30+1 team blue

3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms) Bad heartburn, really tired, super in nesting mode

4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise) I've been having a lot of anxiety lately and the closer we get to delivery the more anxious I get

5. When is your next appointment? Ultrasound and OB tomorrow

6. Rants/raves/whatever I am so unprepared for the holidays this year, I can't believe it's December already!

7. Anything else on your mind? Yesterday I read about the ruling in Texas about funerals for miscarriages and it's had me stressed out and upset thinking about it

8. GTKY - does your family celebrate a winter holiday? Have you started decorating for it? We celebrate Christmas. We finished decorating over the weekend before I got too big and tired to work on it.

@cantalopes24 I hadn't even heard anything about that. I just looked it up now.

@becbec28 I don't live in Texas but it's just bringing up a lot of feelings for me and concerns for people who may avoid medical care because of the cost and emotional implication of something like that. I didn't realize when I first heard about it that it would affect me this much but I'm having a hard time with it.

musicinmysoul17 · December 2016

@cantalopes24 Yeah, I'm not really sure what to think about it...
