downtheshore The early morning club is great isn't it? I was crying to my DH the other morning that I just want one more night of full sleep, just one and I'll be satisfied.

Any updates this week? How are you doing (physically and emotionally)? Well lack of sleep, severe nighttime sciatica pain, and puffy legs and feet at the end of my work days seem to be the extent of my woes. However my baby shower is tomorrow I am so excited to celebrate with my friends and family!!(oh and eat all the food and cupcakes too, tomorrow I indulge since I have been eating so good this whole pregnancy!)

Do you need any thoughts and prayers?
Nope I'm good I still feel so blessed to be this close to meeting my rainbow!

QOTW: What's one thing that you can't do while pregnant that you are looking forward to doing after your baby is born?
Shave my legs unassisted, tie my shoes all by my self, oh sleep on my stomach again!

[downtheshore]

amanda33758, make sure that you come back and tell us about your shower! So excited to hear about it. Sorry that your aches and pains are interfering with restful sleep.

petrichor, I'm also looking forward to running again. I haven't run a marathon since 2011, when we started TTC. It's hard to commit to that kind of long-term training and planning when TTC. Congrats on third tri! I hope your appointment this week goes well and that you get some good pictures of the baby!

Any updates this week? How are you doing (physically and emotionally)?
I had a rough week. I feel so full and uncomfortable after eating, and have awful heartburn on top of that. I lost three pounds because food is just stressing me out, but I know that's not good as I am on the low end of recommended gain. I wish I could figure this out. I have an appointment this week so I'll ask my doctor for suggestions.

Do you need any thoughts and prayers?
I'm okay. I really can't believe that after all it took to get to this place, I'm complaining. I need an attitude adjustment. 

QOTW: What's one thing that you can't do while pregnant that you are looking forward to doing after your baby is born?
Run, eat spicy food, drink a cold beer.

[amanda33758]

petrichor good luck with your long work week! I wish I had enough drive to run again, I just have come to the conclusion that softball players(well at least this one) don't run. I cannot wait to get back on my bicycle!

downtheshore sorry to hear about your food troubles! I hope it eases up a little bit for you I'm with you on enjoying a cold beer after I have this LO!

5 weeks/October 10

I'm stupid tired. Sleeping 9-10 hours per night and just took a 1 hour nap. Feeling great emotionally, though.

Qotw: I miss my whiskey. I had to stop drinking when I started stimming for IVF, so it's been a month already that I haven't been drinking. And whiskey is so yummy...

[mpiemont]

downtheshore thanks for the check in! Sorry you're having trouble with food- it's such an awful feeling to not be able to eat. I hope your dr has some good advice. I know I really had to stick to the "5-6 small meals a day" towards the end of my past pregnancies. I missed eating a full meal.

petrichor Hi due date buddy- I hope your work week goes by quickly! That sounds rough

amanda33758 yay for 30 weeks! Have a blast at your shower- I want to see pics at next week's check in!

@enchanted I agree with the wine- oh, how I miss wine!!

Smootiepie 1st tri exhaustion is no joke!!

Weeks / Team / Fruit / Due Date: 27/pink/rutabaga/5-9

Any updates this week? How are you doing (physically and emotionally)? Physically, I'm a little more uncomfortable this week. I discovered some varicose veins on my lady parts (WTF!!??) and realize they are the source of all the discomfort I've been having down there. If I'm sitting down. I'm ok but with my kiddos, sitting doesn't happen too often. TMI but after Zumba or sex or anything physical I pretty much need to ice myself down. Womp Womp. Emotionally feeling good- I love feeling this little lady move around in there.

Do you need any thoughts and prayers? Just that things continue on the road towards a healthy baby.

QOTW: What's one thing that you can't do while pregnant that you are looking forward to doing after your baby is born? Besides drinking wine probably just feeling more myself physically- not getting winded so easily, being able to pick up my boys more easily, etc.

[downtheshore]

mpiemont, glad that you are getting to feel your little girl moving around so much. I'm still amazed at how that feels. That varicose vein situation does not sound fun. I hope icing it helps.

Smootiepie, the early first tri exhaustion is no joke! I remember getting up on a Saturday around 8 and needing to nap again by 10! I hope you can get some rest.

@enchanted, glad that you are feeling good this week!

downtheshore thanks for getting the check-in started!

Heartburn is still acting up. I'm noticing that I wake up from acid reflux more and more. And if that isn't the problem, I wake up because I need to roll over/hip pain from staying on one side too long. I love my pregnancy pillow bUt it makes it hard to reposition myself and rolling over is hard, ya'll. The struggle is REAL!
On a bright note, dh is on a business trip somewhere sunny. He's been really stressed from work and it's putting a strain on us but this trip is a fun one so he can kick back and enjoy himself and I can get a break, too.

Do you need any thoughts and prayers? Maybe that I don't lose power from all this snow we're getting? Really though, I'm good. Just want to continue this road to having a healthy baby.

This one is easy, ride my motorcycle! I had m/c in June, then BFP in July so I was parked most of last season. Oh, and drink a nice Scottish Ale. Although not at the same time, safety first!

[downtheshore]

fourthtimesacharm, sorry that you are dealing with heartburn, too. Hope you enjoy the week to yourself!
