This thread is for August moms who have previously suffered a loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, etc).
Sorry for missing this thread last week! Monday got away from me and then I just forgot.
How far along are you?
How are you doing?
When is your next appointment?
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
GTKY: I can't remember if we've done this one before, but since my anniversary was yesterday, describe your honeymoon.

Re: PGAL Check-in, Week of May 22
Sorry for missing this thread last week! Monday got away from me and then I just forgot.
How far along are you?
Almost 30 weeks!
How are you doing?
Mostly good, but I'm getting my co-workers cold. Colds during pregnancy should be illegal!
When is your next appointment?
Friday!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I have a few. My one rant is that my 5 year old stepped on my iPad this morning. Not even sure why, he was just standing on it while talking to me. I just opened it up to find it all cracked up. Total first world problem, I know.
My raves are that we're taking a mini family vacation to Gatlinburg this weekend. Our kids have never been and I grew up going there, so I can't wait to see it through their eyes. We come back on Monday, then head to the beach on Saturday for a week! I can't wait to have these pregnant feet in the sand!
GTKY:
We went to Hawaii for a week. Spent half the time in Kauai (amazing!) and the other half in Maui. We snorkeled, went kayaking and hiking into the mountains, went to a luau, at everything lots of fresh pineapple, etc. We both want to go back asap! Maybe for our tenth anniversary.

How are you doing? Okay. pgal brain is at its lowest, becuase little dude moves around so much! Though its funny that he always stops when someone else puts their hands on my stomach. Our dog is not a fan of the kicking, becuase he likes to sleep on my stomach, but little dude will kick him.
When is your next appointment? This week. then time for every other week!
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I feel like DH and I have done a lot to get ready for baby, but at the same time, I feel like we have so much left to do. Im really hoping that despite having a ton of things going on in june and july, we will get a bunch of just us time. I cant believe our time together as just the two of us is coming to a close. We have been together for 13 years, so this will be a big change. We are so excited, but I think there will be times when we miss just us.
GTKY: I can't remember if we've done this one before, but since my anniversary was yesterday, describe your honeymoon. DH and I went to Disney World. Our families were paying for a lot of the wedding, so we decided that we wouldnt ask for any help on the honeymoon, so we booked a cheap hotel room for like 2 days, but DHs grandparents surprised us by upgrading our trip to a whole week, and we got to stay in the contemporary (my favorite and dream). His Uncle also surprised us with free airline tickets, by using his miles and so we got priority seating! It was a dream trip, even if it was about 100 every day that we were there! I cant wait to take little dude to disney!

@littlebug2010 I love how sweet your honeymoon ended up being! Family for the win!
How far along are you?
28+1 Third trimester say what?!
How are you doing?
I am so overjoyed that this girl is essentially already a gymnast. She did however use my hip as a spring board to barrel into my rib cage and that was semi painful lol like littlebug said it helps keep pgal brain at bay
When is your next appointment?
Wednesday. Apparently I'm going every 3 weeks now? I'm starting to get nervous that I only have 2 more appts with my old doctor.. I'm not too sure about switching.
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
They moved up our closing date to 6/16!!! I'm ecstatic! So I'm hoping the underwriters can get everything prepared in time to make that happen. They claim it only takes 5 days and DH signed everything last week. I'm so ready to have my DH back, my own space and finally get this little peanuts room put together!!

We went to Hawaii, Big Island and Oahu. We swam with sharks, zip lined, hiked through a dormant volcano, ate A LOT of food, went to Pearl Harbor. It was so much fun. We went for 10 days though so by day 7 we were totally toasted and ready to go home and sleep for 3 days. We would love to go again some day just to different islands. It's so insanely gorgeous there.
@cmmiller531 HAHA I love the spring boarding from your hips! Mine likes to roll all over the place, and he makes sure to do it with as much pressure on my belly. I feel like hes going to pop through the skin!

Bummed today because I Failed my glucose test on Friday. Otherwise baby is moving a ton in there
When is your next appointment?
I think I'm going to have a ton of diabetes related appts here soon
Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
See above for the glucose test. I was definitely not expecting to fail either because I've been eating healthy and didn't get it with my daughter. No more ice cream

We went to Jamaica to a sandals resort. It was super nice and relaxing but I ran out of my spf 50 and got burned at the end

We had a super small (immediate family only) wedding. Then we went to Great Wolf Lodge with my Stepson. Nothing fancy as it was quick, I was pregnant, and we had my stepson for the week. We had a great week together as a family. One day (maybe for an anniversary) I would love to take a real trip to somewhere tropical.
@a2003tiger and @cmmiller531 I am super jealous you all went to Hawaii! I would love to go there!
