It's been a while since we've done one of these, so I thought we could do a quick check-in, see whose still around, and remind people of what we are up to.

How is your pregnancy going so far?: good, thank G-D, it's been a pretty uneventful pregnancy.
Where do you live?: Maryland
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? So much going on. Between now and when we can no longer travel I have 3 weddings, 2 family weekends, and 2 Bar Mitzvahs. Plus a fake babymoon. I love traveling for good reasons, but I will be happy when we survive it all, and can just stay home for a while.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: First Timer
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Smooth! Testing negative for everything so far, low symptoms.
Where do you live?: Arizona, but not in the desert
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? I had anxiety last night that I'm so far along and underprepared. It was very overwhelming that I woke up at 2 AM and couldn't think of anything else. Has anybody else had random freak out bursts?
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
How is your pregnancy going so far?: so far so good. Was measuring 4 weeks ahead at 26 weeks so we will see what I am on Friday at 28 and a half.... passed glucose test though, so GD isn't the reason. Big baby got all the tall genes? Hit growth spurt early? Who knows.
Where do you live?: Sweden
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? 11 working days left before summer holidays that go into maternity leave
DS nursed for the last time on mothers day which happened to be his 20 month birthday and I'm feeling bitter sweet about it. But it's been long enough that I'm not going back now and will start slowly re introducing his allergens back to my diet. Excited and nervous all at once.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: First!
How is your pregnancy going so far?: I think well. I deep like I’m probably not as uncomfortable as others....occasional MS and BH. And still some fatiqgue but overall things are good.

Midwife appt tomorrow to review baby’s AS and *hopefully, fingers crossed* have my mind put at ease after the other provider scared the hell out of me. This next level anxiety is for the birds. I just want to hear that she’s good and doing well and relax for the rest of this pregnancy.
Which btw...for the first time I’m starting to feel like I’ve been pregnant for so long and I’m ready for August to be here so I can meet her.
@BigBadWolf12 weaning is a big step. Wow! it's impressive that you did it for so long, especially with his . Enjoy the gluten.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM (ages 5 next week and 2.5)
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Not the best but its still moving along. This is definitely the toughest pregnancy so far, and none of mine have been easy!

How is your pregnancy going so far?: Pretty good and uneventful besides the GD testing. The 1 hour glucose result was elevated so I had to do the 3 hour. About 1/2 hour after drinking the glucola I felt so awful, like I was going to throw up and pass out. Luckily I did neither. ;-)
Where do you live?: Michigan
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share?: DH and I just got back from our Las Vegas babymoon. Apparently Vegas is not the place to go while pregnant; I think I saw only about 3 other noticeably pregnant women the whole time! We had fun considering we have no travel plans before and immediately after baby is born.

How is your pregnancy going so far?:
It's been a roller coaster of emotions. We found out our son will have Down syndrome, a heart condition (I see the pediatric cardiologist on Monday), and now on top of it all, I have GD.

How is your pregnancy going so far?: so far, so good. I don't have anything to compare it to, but I was discharged from MFM and I have my glucose test in a few weeks. Right now I'm just setting small goals for myself and I'm really just trying to reassure myself that things don't have to be difficult. (PAIF brain does that i guess)
Where do you live?: the south
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? excited to head to the beach in a few weeks. nursery is coming together, not much happening.
@flagchic I can relate to those feelings. I was worried last night that we're approaching this new phase of life with an "eh, we'll just wing it approach." I'm sure there will be days when you feel better and days when you don't. It is a big role change and an adjustment that big is challenging.

How is your pregnancy going so far?: The pregnancy and baby are looking good. However I can't seem to get over being sick.

Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? Meh, just trucking along. Me and DH are going to try to plan a trip away together for next month sometime.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM (and TTM)
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Everyone is looking healthy so far, which is fantastic, but having twins has just made this a bit of a tougher pregnancy in general. I still occasionally have morning nausea and food aversions, and of course I’ve grown faster (I’m measuring about 34wks at the moment) which means I became less mobile significantly earlier in the pregnancy.

We settled on names earlier this week, so it’s nice to have that checked off my “to-do” list. Other than that, I’m just waiting for the month to be over - once school is out, my friend’s girls are going to be helping me out with DD and it should make my life a lot easier.

How is your pregnancy going so far?:it is a rough one. I have mentioned it a million times on here but I am still nauseous every day and everything hurts.

@sourlemon ditto on the third pregnancy being my most difficult and none of them being easy. This is probably our last so I am having bittersweet emotions about closing this chapter of our lives and trying to enjoy every second...but ferling like crap the whole time.

@flagchic yup! I’ll randomly think about how we haven’t even started clearing out the nursery room yet and I’ll panic thinking things could happen and I could deliver super early and I freak out.
@BigBadWolf12 the summer countdown is on!

How is your pregnancy going so far?: pretty good! Heartburn and acid reflux are happening more and more and I have no ankles but I’m still feeling lucky that I’ve had no symptoms up until now.

How is your pregnancy going so far?: Great! There was some issues with my blood work in the beginning but I'm taking the right medication now so its all reading normally. I feel perfectly fine otherwise.

Thank you all for your kind words. ❤
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Pretty good so far! Pregnancy itself has been super smooth. I need to have monthly ultrasounds to monitor a mass in one of baby’s lungs for growth. So far it’s looking small and isn’t causing problems. He’ll have to have surgery at 2 months to remove the mass. I have a chiro appt tomorrow for my back, and GD screening at 28 weeks with my midwife.

Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? We have a trip planned next week and I’m excited to get away for the last time as a family of three, but I’m dreading the flight. I’m starting to get uncomfortable and a few hours in a tight space isn’t sounding like a lot of fun.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: 5th Time Mom
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Meh. I have had my ups and downs with this pregnancy. Atypical migraine, gallbladder issue, reflux, sciatica, ugh. But, baby is healthy and I am still pregnant, so overall I should be pretty happy.

Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share?
My almost 3 year old hit his head on our train table on Monday and needed stitches (ended up getting glued) and my 18 month old got diagnosed with strep today. Summer vacation is coming for our 4 big kids in a few weeks and I can’t wait!! Also, I’m having a hard time keeping up here with the app and feel bad for not being more involved here.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
How is your pregnancy going so far?: The two major circumstances of my last pregnancy are missing this time around: I got pregnant spontaneously instead of IVF (which came as a total shock after 6 years of total unexplained infertility), and I just found out I don't have GD this pregnancy (also a shock). I've been more achey and I'm starting to get concerned about ligament pain on my right side because it's preventing me from exercising as rigorously as I'd like (which helps to control my genetic predisposition to out-of-whack blood sugar and blood pressure).

Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? DD just turned 2 this past weekend
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
How is your pregnancy going so far? The second tri has been great. As I'm getting closer to the third, I'm reminiscing about getting out of bed without grunting, a good night's sleep (probably should get used to this), and stomach sleeping. However, I'm also getting so excited about birth, meeting our sweet boy, and watching DH become a dad.

Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? Last weekend my older sister discovered she is pregnant with her first. I'm so excited to be pregnant at the same time, at least for a couple of months, and for our little ones to have cousins the same age.
EDD: August 2nd
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
How is your pregnancy going so far?: I’m feeling really good still, and it’s been relatively uneventful, which I’m incredibly thankful for. Low lying placenta on 20 wk (.7cm) and 28 wk (.8cm) ultrasounds, so I go back at 32 weeks. I think if I can at least get to 1cm, I’ll feel okay about trying for vaginal delivery.

Really looking forward to next month: Labor classes, a night away with MH, a spa day for me, and our baby shower!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Overall pretty uneventful! I had some early bleeding before my 8 week appt that was scary, but no issues since. I have my 28wk appt and glucose test scheduled for June 7. I did an early glucose screening due to PCOS around 17 weeks and passed so I'm hoping the same happens for this one!
Where do you live?: Northern VA
Anything going on in your life right now that you'd like to share? I'm a teacher and the end of the school year is right around the corner! I work at two different schools (same county so I am full time, but work part time at each school) so my maternity leave arrangement will be... interesting. They are working on figuring out a long term sub (I have one school figured out already), and I am hoping to get any sub plans figured out before I leave school for the summer! I'm due 8/31, so it's the end of the first week of school next year. If she arrives early, I might not return to school at all before I would need sub plans. FX it all gets worked out soon!
EDD: 7/30
TTM!
How is your pregnancy going so far: not bad and all in all I can’t complain. Although man pregnancy does not get easier the older you get. This anterior placenta is also freaking me out a little - I’m supposed to be doing daily kick counts but I’ve learned little man has his active days and less active days depending on his position so as long as I’m feeling him some each day I try not to worry knowing a far more active day is coming
Anything going on right now you’d like to share: officially graduated to my full on mom car yesterday! And loving the van so far! Have a trip planned to get my kids up to see my parents one last time before the baby comes - then it’s on them to get down here for a while.

My husbands starting a new job Monday and my coworker is on maternity leave so I’ve been doing 2 jobs so just a tiring time. DH took this week off so he’s made a lot of progress in the nursery and I’m def excited about that! Just really ready to meet my baby girl and not be pregnant anymore lol
But I hear you on the anxiousness surrounding baby movements...whenever someone says, "I'm in no rush to have the baby on the outside, I like knowing they're safe inside me" I just can't understand it *personally*...I like to SEE the baby breathing whenever I want lol

My breathing is getting worse. I have to call the Dr in the morning cuz the inhaler, nebulizer and daily pill isn’t working. I almost passed out twice from lack of air yesterday and I wasn’t doing anything too strenuous.
I’m also kinda freaking out over having a 10yr old, 2yr old and infant in a few months. My ADHD is all over the place trying to figure out how it’s gonna work. I can’t wait to see baby and see his personality compared to the other 2 but DS2 is a lot of work so I’m nervous. Is this weird for TTM?
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
How is your pregnancy going so far?: Pretty good. My biggest complaint is the pain - pelvic pain and lower back pain. Lately pelvic pain has been the worst but I’ve also been so ridiculously active. Otherwise, all good!
