  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    27 weeks and a head of lettuce!! Last week of the second trimester, WHOO!

    How are you feeling?
    Tired, but what's new

    Any appointments this week?
    My appointment is next week and then I move to bi-weekly appointments after that. Anyone else go every two weeks after 28 weeks?

    Rants/raves? 

    I have both:

    Rave: I have to give my H major props. He busted his butt last week and has the nursery nearly complete and it looks AMAZING. My dad is coming over on Saturday to help H finish the trim work and then the baby's room is ready for me to go in and decorate. I'm super pumped. 

    Rant: I keep getting kinks in my neck. I have my third of fourth strained neck as of this morning and the pain is radiating through my back. Anyone have suggestions besides a heating pad to get me some relief? 

    GTKY: Do you have a New Year's Resolution? I posted in the workout post, but I'm going to recommit to my nutrition and workout routine. I'm a slight workaholic and put myself last on the list. I tend to put all I have into work and being the best mom when I'm home. By time my kids go to bed I'm exhausted, have eaten like garbage, and look at the dust piling up on my workout equipment. This is a balance I've always struggled with. I've asked H for support to help hold me accountable to working more "normal" hours and to prioritize my mental and physical health as we gear up for baby.

    27 weeks, head of lettuce.
    How are you feeling?
    Getting nervous. My mom is leaving for Florida, and I am worried the baby will come when she isn't here. I have my dh, but with 13 weeks to go everything feels so imminent.
    Any appointments this week?
    Next week. They already have me on every two weeks.

    Rants/raves?
    I am just feeling so sore and these single digit temperatures are making it hard to move as much as I should.

    I need to go back to kickboxing to see if that is even a feasible workout for me anymore. In February I am going to do prenatal yoga. Also, recommitting to cooking. It has been a busy couple of months.

  • @angiek Congrats on the nursery being done and I hope you can find that work/life balance in 2018! 

    @linds0503 I completely agree with everything feeling so imminent! How long will your mom be in Florida?

    How many weeks are you/how big is baby?
    26 weeks, kale?

    How are you feeling?
    Now that its 2018, everything feels real! I am starting to get really excited and really nervous!

    Any appointments this week?
    No appointments until the middle of the month.

    Rants/raves?
    We took the two week break over the holidays to potty train our DS. It was successful and he is so dang proud of himself. He could wait to run into daycare this morning and hug his teachers. He then immediately dropped his pants and showed them how he could go pee in the potty. My momma heart melted  <3

    Start prenatal yoga again! I did it with my first pregnancy and it helped so much. I have just been so swamped this pregnancy and haven't had a chance to sign up. I need some ME time!
  • How many weeks are you/how big is baby?  23 weeks- grapefruit

    How are you feeling?  
    Doing okay.  A little crampy after the amnio, but not as stressed about things as I was.  I asked the MFM about the fluid around the lung that the MRI apparently showed.  She looked at it and showed me what she thought they were likely talking about and said it really wasn't anything significant, which made me feel so much better.

    Any appointments this week?  
    Just the one I had today with my MFM.  I have an OB appt on Monday.

    Rants/raves?  
    I spoke with my boss today about everything and having to leave for FL around 35-36 weeks and he was super supportive and understanding, which I am so grateful for.

    GTKY: Do you have a New Year's Resolution?  I have been so stressed out about stuff, that I didn't even do my resolutions this year.
  • @sparklingdiamond I am glad your work is supportive of being in FL. How soon on the amnio results? :hugs: 
  • @angiek1 3 days for the stuff like trisomies, sex chromosome issues, etc (which I am not really worried about since we had the blood test already) and 2 weeks for the rest.  
  • @sparklingdiamond glad to hear that the amnio wasn't stressful.

    @shireeallason she is coming back briefly at the beginning of March for the shower, but then isn't coming home for good until the end of March.

    27w, head of lettuce

    How are you feeling?
    Still in the second tri high, but not sure how much longer that will last

    Any appointments this week?
    Not for myself. DD1 goes to the ophthalmologist today. Hoping for good news. 

    Rants/raves?
    DH is a full time student and has off this week. I must have mentioned (maybe a bit too often) how unprepared I feel for DD2. I came home from work yesterday to find her room prepped for priming/painting. He wins. 

    GTKY: Do you have a New Year's Resolution? 
    I don’t do them because I always fall off the bandwagon.

  • @sparklingdiamond glad your MFM here reassured you about the fluid! FX for good amnio results!
