Re: Week 4 Check-in w/o 12/26
Appointments: 1/11 regular ob appt
Rant: reflux is awful. Still not as bad as with DD but still the worst. I’ve had to pop Zantac daily this week to enjoy Christmas goodies.
Rave: Despite the anterior placenta I’m starting to feel him more up top and in front, now that his movements are strong enough to feel through the placenta.
Feeling: tired, especially since a few nights a week on average I sleep really crappy. This week was no exception. So much getting up to pee.
GTKY: well I always set a reading goal per year. This year was 25 books and I did it! But I’m going to reduce that to 20 since I’m having a baby in 2019. Also, back down to my goal weight by 9mos pp (not my ultimate goal weight, but my “lose the baby weight” goal). Return to at least 3x weekly yoga, preferably 5x.
Any appointments? In Jan
Rants/Raves? Back is sore and started having “oh no baby didn’t move for too long” panic.
How are you feeling? A bit sore and sleep is broken up by bathroom breaks, reflux is not great even though I have a maintenance dose of ranitidine daily I may need to increase that. Enjoying my wiggly little boy though
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? No. I have a list.
Make baby clothes.
Sew my daughter a twin sized quilt for her new bed.
Get my hubs to build the new bed, and then we paint it... and maybe poly it? I don’t know. Busy times. Hopeful.
Clean and prep daughters room for new bed. Also declutter and prep our room for baby.
Any appointments? Questions? Tomorrow! Just a short check in, then a big one at the end of January.
Rants/Raves? My dr appointments have recently been *right* after holidays. It’s bad enough seeing the scale... Also why the heck does every doctor’s office scale measure like 5lbs more than my home one?
How are you feeling? Pretty decent, just trying to be positive. I also get some of that ‘oh no, baby hasn’t moved in a couple hours’ panic. Had a lot of anxiety about something bad happening on Christmas, because that’s how my PGAL anxiety likes to roll now, apparently.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? I’m not a big resolutions person, but I’m hoping to do my best to face this huge upcoming life change with some amount of peace and grace. A lot will be beyond my control, and I want to try to be at least a little chill and forgiving about that.
Any appointments? Questions? In a couple weeks.
Rants/Raves? Love being pregnant over the holidays it just adds to the joy!
How are you feeling? Good, lots of night time wake ups but go right back to sleep.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? Get hips and back stable after baby so I can run after her and my toddler w/o pain.
Any appointments? Questions? Had OB appt today. All is well, measuring 22 wks, baby’s heartbeat was 144. Glucose test before next appt.
Rants/Raves? Nahh
How are you feeling? Pretty good!
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? I need to get back to cooking weight watchers recipes, since I’ve been pregnant I’ve been slacking and my husband is having a hard time maintaining his weight loss. It’d be good for both of us.

Rants/Raves? Spent 3 days over Christmas admitted for a gall bladder attack, so pretty frustrated with that. Finally starting to hold down more than pedialyte though!
How are you feeling? Tired and pukey but better each day.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? To really try to get back into my usual workout routine.
Any appointments? Questions? Nothing for another week.
Rants/Raves? A mini rant about spending time with family being as stressful as it is enjoyable - but I'm still grateful for it even if I'm ready for a vacation from my vacation. These baby kicks have gotten stronger to the point of occasionally a little painful, so I am a little afeared of what awaits. That said, it's still comforting to feel them moving around in there.
How are you feeling? Actually pretty good - I have been able to baby myself with long walks (followed by self-foot massages), and long yoga sessions for the past few days and I think it's overall been a good mix. Tired, tired, tired, but it's not too bad.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? Nope. I'm not really a New Year's resolution person -- I just make resolutions any time I feel like changing things. I am down with the goals to read more books, I hope to do about as well as I did this year (@HGRich not quite 25 -- that's impressive to me! -- but over 12).
Any appointments? Questions? Not until mid January.
Rants/Raves? I just took all this Christmas down and packed away. I'm definitely in a nesting mood. Also I purchased the double stroller and a toddler bed. DD is 18 months.
How are you feeling? I'm feeling good, I'm happy that I only have a month left of work.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? I definitely have plans to loose my baby weight and start eating better. Though I'm not holding myself to such high expectations.
Due Date? 4/27; I’m 23 weeks today.
Any appointments? Questions? OB appt. on Wednesday, 1/2 and appt. with a women’s health physical therapist on Thursday, 1/3. I’ve been having brutal sciatica since I was 11 weeks. 😖
Rants/Raves? Just starting to feel frustrated with some of the things that I’m finding I can’t do as easily anymore. My husband is a hero and helps out with so much around the house, even before pregnancy, but it’s still frustrating to feel like I can’t do everything myself.
How are you feeling? This past week I’ve been having a lot of aches and pains in my lower back and hips. I’ve had pain in my sternum off and on for several weeks now, too, which is uncomfortable. I’m trying to learn to just live with the sciatica, as it’s been present now for 12 weeks, but it sucks. Hoping this doctor I’ve been referred to can help! Hubs and I flew home to NY from Chicago last night and when we were getting off the plane, I twisted weird to get out of my seat and popped something in my knee —now I can’t straighten my leg all the way or put full weight on it. Wtf?! Wondering if it’s all those ligaments starting to loosen? It’s so frustrating, as I’m normally very active and now I’m feeling like an invalid.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the New Year? Resolutions mostly comprise of getting our house baby ready — packing up clothing and other items for donation, getting the nursery set up, taking the necessary baby classes, etc.
