    1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
    26+2 

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
    I'm so tired this week but I'm blaming it on work instead of pregnancy! 

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
    I think I will feel better after my appointment today.

    4. Any appointment updates?
    I have an appointment this afternoon to follow up on my elevated blood pressure and I'm taking the one hour glucose test for the second time. 

    5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
    Work has been hectic and H is in a golf tournament today so I'm looking forward to leaving work early for the doctor's and then going home to snuggle my dogs 

    6. If you could be on a game show, which one would it be, and why? (Stolen from May BMB  )  
    Definitely Family Feud! My family loves it and we watch it all the time. We haven't auditioned for 2 reasons, 1. there are too many of us and we fight who would actually go on and 2. this video describes how my family would act on Family Feud (warning for language)  :D https://www.facebook.com/721602150/videos/10155801305257151/

    @texas_t A chili bar sounds AMAZING. I need that in my life.

    @lippy625 FX you pass the one hour again! I have mine Friday. 

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
    26w3d...no milestones for many many weeks!

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
    I’m also over here feeling large. I feel like a turtle trying to get out of bed. Lots of peeing as baby just loves using my bladder as martial arts practice, particularly when I’m trying to fall asleep!

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
    Feeling very good for a while now. Just ready to bring this baby home soon.

    4. Any appointment updates?
    I have my GD test and a growth scan on Friday. So one part annoying and one part fun.

    5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
    DH worked all weekend and won’t have off until Saturday so it just feels like a mega long week. Ready for it to be over!

    6. If you could be on a game show, which one would it be, and why? (Stolen from May BMB  )
    Game shows are a guilty pleasure of mine. I think I would be excellent at Match Game and Family Feud. I think I’m good at guessing what other people will say. We also watch wheel of fortune every night because dd loves it and I’m pretty good at guessing the puzzles, but my downfall would be trying to remember which letters were called already.

    @rosebud332 I missed your check in, I think we were posting around the same time. I like that we both said the same thing about feeling like a turtle trying to get out of bed! 
    Dumb question- what is the growth scan for? Like a second Anatomy Scan? I don't think my OB has mentioned that to me yet...

  • rosebud332rosebud332 member
    @Hollyyyyy The growth scan is just because I have a uterine septum. They need to make sure baby is growing properly and that the septum isn’t getting the way of that. So it’s a quicker scan than the anatomy scan where they just check the measurements. Not something that is needed in most pregnancies.

    @texas_t Grab some Cheddar Ruffles for the chili bar in my honor! It’s a favorite combo.
    @lippy625 Enjoy your Glucola today !
    @morgantu Roly poly babies are exciting :lol:
    @rosebud332 I’m a bed turtle too! I hope I don’t wake H when I lightly grunt as I try to get out of the Echo Nest in the night.
    @Hollyyyyy I’m happy you’re getting nursery tasks done - and jealous of the rug purchase, I looooove buying rugs.

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
    27 weeks today! EDD is three months from today :open_mouth:

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
    Big (but not elephanty), achy, and refluxy. Zantac is my new BFF.

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
    Low anxiety since kiddo is pretty active. Yesterday I noticed a little tint on the toilet paper, but it got lighter as the day went on, and there was no cramping or contractions. I'm looking out for it today, but not really too worried.

    4. Any appointment updates?
    Next appt is in two weeks. Also I assume that I don't have GD because my OB's office hasn't called me :grimace:

    5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever:
    This week I have simply been collecting the things I need to do, then doing nothing about them. For whatever reason I just cannot be productive when DH is home, and he's home a lot right now. I guess it's good to know that apparently I am still so independent that I prefer to do most things solo.

    6. If you could be on a game show, which one would it be, and why?
    Not sure - I don't really like game shows. I'll talk to the TV in public if Jeopardy is on, but that's it. I wouldn't want to be on Jeopardy though (although a friend was a contestant!) I am not *that* well read.

    @Hollyyyyy at my last appointment my doctor mentioned being slightly concerned about gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia but I did the 24 urine collection and have no proteins in my urine so I assume she's leaning more towards gestational hypertension. I don't think I have any other symptoms though so I am leaning towards white coat syndrome! 

    I am with everyone else who mentioned feeling like a turtle getting out of bed. Last night I yelped pretty loudly because I misjudged the edge of the bed while tangled in my snoogle and almost fell out. H and neither dog skipped a beat in their snoring so some help they would be in case of an actual fall! haha

    Good luck to everyone who has appointments/ GD tests/ ultrasounds this week!
    @texas_t Now I want a cheese chili dog!
    @rosebud332 A turtle is the perfect description!

    1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
    24 weeks, 2 days, so viability baby!

    2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
    I am feeling pretty good. I am having to pee at least every hour and 3-4 times at night, which is getting old. I am also pretty sore and numb by the end of the day, but I don't know how much of that is pregnancy related and how much of that is from chasing a toddler 24/7.

    3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
    I am feeling pretty good, especially because this LO moves so much. However, I did eat 2 pieces of deli ham yesterday, so I feel more guilty and a little anxious.

    4. Any appointment updates?
    I had my 24 week appointment yesterday and it went well. i had a great talk with my favorite OB about my options re: RCS or VBAC and I feel very confdent in our plans. That was causing me a lot of anxiety.

    5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
    This is minor, but my lab has changed their policy and now requires me to get the glucola drink there and sit for an hour prior to the bloodwork. Last time, I just had to show up 45 minutes after drinking it, which was much easier. Now, I need to figure out a day when someone can watch DS, so I do not have to chase him around the waiting room for an hour. Also becasue I had a RhoGAM injection after my miscarriage in March, my bloodwok has to be done within 72 hours of my appointment becasue they are unsure if I will still have the antibodies in my system or not. It is all manageable, just annoying.

    @artemis618 FWIW We started our classes aroud 26 weeks last time and I was so glad to be done by the time I was too uncomfortable to sit in a folding chair for hours on end.
    @morgantu Supermarket Sweep? I heard somewhere that it is coming back!

    @texas_t Haha, thanks for your interest in the puppy photos.  I’m lame and haven’t figured out how to get them on my phone just yet, but I can try to share a couple from desktop later.

    @katy0990 That (getting the classes done before I got too uncomfortable) was part of my reasoning - and at the beginning my OB didn’t seem all that confident that I’d make it all the way till my due date (with the preexisting hypertension).  Also, next month’s breast feeding class is on my birthday (not really how I want to spend it), and DH has a company meeting one weekend next month so we figured we’d just knock them out this month :)

    ETA:  I *may* have grabbed that dress in a 6 (if they don’t cancel my order because it’s not really available).  No extra 20% discount, but still under $40 shipped so can’t complain.  But that would take care of my immediate rib expansion concern wrt a dress to wear to that wedding :p
