How far along? 27 weeks! Last week in 2nd Tri if anyone wants to take over this board! I’ve been doing an awful job anyways lol!
Appts this coming week? I have to stop in for two quick shots this week- rhogam and tdap
How're you feeling this week? Feeling great! Passed my glucose test so I’m thrilled about that. I am anemic so will be going on Iron. Feeling a little tired and sore (pregnancy or working out I’m not sure?) but no major complaints!!!
Rants/Raves: Still have leg cramps but they are getting better!
GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!) We go to a friends house on a lake every year! It’s so much fun with lots of good food and fireworks!!

Appts this coming week?
Had one today

All is well!

How're you feeling this week?
Not too bad- just lots of round ligament pain.

Rants/Raves:
Excited for the anatomy scan next Weds

GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!)
Going to Santa Barbara for several days- we are leaving tomorrow- very excited!

halfanewt · July 2018

@chicandbubbly congrats on passing the glucose test and last week of 2nd tri! (Also, holy crap! I’m only 2 days behind you. That just made it real..)

halfanewt · July 2018

How far along? 26+6!

Appts this coming week? Not until next week when I do general checkup + glucose. Bleh.

How're you feeling this week? Feeling great! Super unmotivated to anything productive, though. Thanks, summer break!

Rants/Raves:
We recently started looking at houses with the intent to move this time next year (the market in our area has been crazy the last few years). Well, now the market is slowing down and our looking has gotten more serious. Interesting to see where we end up having this kiddo. Moving while 8mo pregnant is a great idea, right?

GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!)
Hitting up a couple BBQs to see friends we haven’t seen in awhile. Nothing crazy, but looks to be great weather!

DecemberDoll27 · July 2018

How far along? 16w 3d, EDD 12/15
Appts this coming week? Not this week
How're you feeling this week? I am feeling great! A little bit of acid reflux, constipation and lack of energy but nothing really bad!
Rants/Raves: I started feeling baby moving a couple of days ago ( or at least I think that's what I am feeling) . It is super exciting but makes it really hard to concentrate on anything else. Especially when I try to decipher what I am feeling during work meetings....
GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!) We are going to go swim in the pool and then grill something delicious! And fireworks watching from our patio at night! Super excited!

mag1cbeli3ver · July 2018

@chicandbubbly Congrats on passing your glucose test! I love watching fireworks over a lake - the reflection in the water just makes the show even more magnificent!

@eabrahamson +1 for round ligament pain - no fun! I find that mine hurts the worst when I sneeze, especially when I'm laying down. Hoping it calms down soon for you!

How far along?
18 weeks 3 days!

Appts this coming week?
Just had my AS this morning! Everything looked great - it was so amazing to see all of baby bean's organs and bones! I have the sex of the baby in an envelope to look at tonight. DH couldn't be at the appt today (he works in a meat dept and today is like their Black Friday with everyone buying things for cookouts and such), and we really wanna find out together! So we'll look tonight when we're both home - can't wait!!! I did find out I have an anterior placenta, which makes me a little sad b/c I wanna feel baby bean move, but I'll take it since everything else was great!

How're you feeling this week?
Decent. Still dealing with leg cramps and now my fingers/toes seem to get tingly a lot more often than normal. Especially when I'm sitting for more than 20 min or so, which makes working more difficult. Other than that and RLP, (and the obnoxious heat) I'm feeling good.

Rants/Raves:
Nothing I can think of for now.

GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!)
We're going to a friend's house for a cookout and games, then walking down to fireworks on the canal. Should be a great night!

artemis618 · July 2018

Hi ladies!

How far along?

15w4d

Appts this coming week?

16 week OB appointment on Friday

How're you feeling this week?

Still tired (maybe a little less? I also stopped taking the half a unisom at night), the nauseous is still mostly just in the late afternoons/evenings for me.

Rants/Raves:

I returned to exercising some this week (went to ballet - just did barre and some centre - this past Saturday and went back to the gym for a yoga class on Monday). But still really tired - getting up earlier and exercising resulted in my taking a nap in my car at lunch yesterday! Unrelated, still really glad for my home doppler.

GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!)

Probably just relaxing and hanging out with the puppy (she’s actually 2) to make sure she’s okay through the fireworks. Maybe we’ll go get some things to grill.

How far along? 26+2
Appts this coming week? I had a fetal echocardiogram last week, which was normal.
How're you feeling this week? I'm doing all right. Energy is good. I've started having some heartburn and foot swelling though (it was hot yesterday and I was on my feet all day). Not cute, but not the worst thing that could happen.
Rants/Raves: Just enjoying summer break! Lots of dessert making going on over here. Hope I don't fail the glucose test!
GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!) My husband and I are having some people over. He's going to grill, I'm making lemon bars and cornbread. I always feel pretty meh about the 4th, but I'm excited to spend time with our friends!

@chicandbubbly @halfanewt I'm coming along a few days behind you both. 3rd tri?? How did this happen?

Appts this coming week?
I had amnio yesterday. The test itself went smoothly. But before they did a scan and found an enlarged brain ventricles. Right now they are at the upper limit of the normal range. But it’s very scary. I’ll have the anatomy scan in 2.5 weeks so hopefully it will shrink a little by then.
also, found out that I’m having a boy!!!

How're you feeling this week?
Pretty good. Feeling the baby kick every day now since last Monday. So that’s cool.

Rants/Raves:
just scared about a possible brain issue.

GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!)
im on the sofa today still resting after the amnio.

mag1cbeli3ver · July 2018

@prudence9-2 Congrats on your baby boy! I just found out I'm also having a boy!
I hope everything works out with the brain ventricles. Even though it's at the upper limit, at least it's still technically within the normal range. Sending positive vibes your way for a great update at your AS!

prudence9-2 · July 2018

Thanks @mag1cbeli3ver and congrats on your baby boy!!!

i know it’s still in the normal range. But that high is uncommon.

btw - I haven’t been gaining much weight in the last 3 weeks. And actually this morning when I checked it showed me I weigh as much as I did 3 weeks ago! Ahhh. Should I worry about it?

Ilky · July 2018

How far along? 17w1d

Appts this coming week? We had a scan on tuesday and it showed that the placenta has moved so no more Previa!!! We are soooo happy. On the bad side, the fibroid grew over 9cm (3.5in?) but the doctor said it wont impact the growth of my little one. So, trying to stay and think positive.

How're you feeling this week? Overall, good but tired. We went to Big Bear Lake last week and my back and hips were killing me from the bed I slept in. The bed was actually comfy it was just that I didn't have my pregnancy pillow to support my back and front.

Rants/Raves:
GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!) We went to beach and watched the fireworks that happened in several beach cities at the same time. It's a great spot we found, you can just lay on the beach and have fireworks feast!

21+4

Appts this coming week?
Nope

How're you feeling this week?
I'm so tired. My legs and feet are puffy.

Rants/Raves:
We are on vacay this week and it's amazing, but damn, the stairs are killing me. The bed is just a bit too hard and my hips are killing me.

GTKY: How are you celebrating July 4th?! (If you aren’t in the U.S. feel free to share any exciting upcoming plans or your fav thing about summer!) We are at the beach and spend every 4th here. We had some pretty major storms come through, so we watched lightening and fireworks before the bottom fell out.

eabrahamson · July 2018

@prudence9-2 I am in the same spot with weight and my doctor said not to worry. I’ve just had a smaller appetite these past few weeks!

prudence9-2 · July 2018

@eabrahamson how long have you been in the same spot? For me it’s about 3 weeks!

hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I finally bought my first maternity bra today. I should have done it weeks ago!
