Due date: 3/29

Any appointments/Questions?: appointment 1/4 with the (dreaded) GD test...let's just say I'm kind of indulging this week in preparation that I won't be able to after next week.

Rants/Raves?: Raving about DH being so helpful throughout all of Christmas. Two of my best friends had nothing good to say about their hubbies over the Christmas holiday and I had nothing to respond with. Really wanted to tell them sorry you married losers?

How are you feeling?: Pregnant? lol. I feel like I've popped again but I'm embracing it...besides whatever illness I had on Christmas Eve I've been doing really good overall surprisingly.

GTKY: Do make New Years resolutions? Have you made any for next year? The past couple years I've tried to make small changes each year or a positive change rather than getting rid of a negative since it seems to go better. I haven't really thought of what I'd like to do for 2019. A coaching club I'm in asks everyone to think of a "focus word" for the new year and I'm struggling for that too...

This check-in is for the ladies due 3/24-3/31

Due date: 3/28

Any appointments/Questions?: OB / Glucose test this Friday. Jesus take the wheel! lol

Rants/Raves?: Rave: Been feeling LO move so much more this week and stronger! Have an anterior placenta, so always felt little things, but this week it's much stronger. Also loving the holidays and family time. Excited for the family baby shower this Saturday. Rant: Expected to be the one's always on the road going house to house since we don't have any babies yet. Next year will be a different story!

How are you feeling?: Feel good, but feeling "big". Coworkers don't think I look bigger...I think I've just learned how to look 1/2 decent without looking like a whale lol

GTKY: Do make New Years resolutions? Have you made any for next year? My resolution is mainly to focus on our new little family and what's best for us. Too many times we are people pleaser's, so ready to learn to say "no" more and cut out any negative things / people that get in the way.

purpleteacher82 · December 2018

Due date: March 24

Any appointments/Questions?: 28 week appt. is this Friday.

Rants/Raves?: It already feels like my Christmas Break is going by way too quickly. ☹️

How are you feeling?: Not too bad. A bit big and slow. My hands have some swelling due to carpal tunnel.

GTKY: Do make New Years resolutions? Have you made any for next year? I don’t generally make resolutions, but work/life balance is always something I am working on.

sejica · December 2018

@purpleteacher82 thanks for getting this going!

Due date: 3/25ish

Any appointments/Questions?: nothing til Jan 8

Rants/Raves?: rave: DD (18mo) only got one loud electronic toy. All the presents were perfect, and exactly what I hoped for for her.

How are you feeling?: definitely on the struggle bus. I just feel so big, and am so tired of chasing my toddler.

GTKY: Do make New Years resolutions? Have you made any for next year? I make resolutions at the new year, for lent, on the first day of spring, and on April 1 (old new year). Nothing yet for next year specifically, but I've been bullet journalling for the last few weeks. I might try to drink enough water as a resolution.

Due date: 3/27

Any appointments/Questions?: No appts till 1/7, when I have my glucose test/28 week appt.

Rants/Raves?: DH and I usually buy our own Christmas gifts (we each have hobbies and it's really hard for us to shop for each other), but he didn't even do anything for my stocking. To be fair, I've been off a lot of the candy I'd usually want, but you can put more than candy in a stocking! Not to mention, we still haven't opened our gifts from the family. All this has me not really in the holiday spirit this year. In raves, I've definitely been feeling baby more, which is great! Anterior placenta made it really hard, I usually just felt rolls or soft jabs on my sides and now things are stronger.

How are you feeling?: Fairly crummy, tbh. I've had a nasty cold/congestion for over a week now and just can't seem to shake it. I'm asthmatic, so colds, etc. have always hung on for me longer, but I've been using a safe decongestant and it's still here.

GTKY: Do you make New Years resolutions? Have you made any for next year? I usually do, and I think mine is to be more active again. I fell off the workout bandwagon in October (with new kitty, all the work to do on the new house, and pregnancy, I got away from the gym). I'd really like to get back to doing cardio and some light strength training again to prep for the birth (and help with muscle tone/weight loss after delivery).

@HoneyBear40 - yay for a helpful DH!!
@kristimh80 - so glad you're feeling LO move more! Good luck on your test today!
@purpleteacher82 - oh no! Did you try the wrist braces for carpal tunnel? Those may help you if you haven't already tried bracing.
@sejica - so glad YD has such a good Christmas!

purpleteacher82 · December 2018

@catlady2015 I’ve been wearing braces at night since the beginning of second tri. They definitely help at night. The swelling in my hands is fairly new. I also get pain in my finger joints similar to arthritis. Icing them helps, but I am definitely concerned about it getting worse during 3rd tri.

I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well!

kristimh80 · December 2018

@catlady2015 Me too on the cold front. I thought I kicked it all, but the stuffy head mess has lingers for over a week now making sleeping not so fun. Glad you are also feeling baby now! I also have anterior placenta and started to think MH would never feel any baby moves.

catlady2015 · December 2018

@kristimh80 - DH still hasn't felt baby yet!! I feel him, but I think only the last couple of days I've felt a few random kicks that might have been strong enough from the outside. Sure hope that is going to be a possibility soon! Has YH been able to feel baby from the outside yet?

HoneyBear40 · December 2018

@catlady2015 my DH just finally was able to feel baby move on Saturday and I felt like that had taken forever..

kristimh80 · December 2018

@catlady2015 Last night was the 1st time he ever was able to feel her. Usually, she'll be kicking up a storm and he gets nothing. I've also found if I touch my belly a lot of times she'll stop, so doesn't help!

peacebubblebaby · December 2018

Due date: 29

Any appointments/Questions?: Monday-glucose test

Rants/Raves?:

How are you feeling?: like I’m really not ready to have a 3rd kid...wondering what I was thinking lol

GTKY: Do make New Years resolutions? Have you made any for next year?

Not really. Just plans. It will be our 10th wedding anniversary, trying to come up with a unique experience for a date - for our first anniversary we did a Segway tour in the city (Chicago), it was wonderfully random and fun...and then babies made my brain mush and I’m drawing a blank for ideas this year.
