Sunday Ticker Change - 2/8

[racegurl87]

PGAL Sunday Ticker Change:
If you have yet to join us and your week turns over on Sunday, we would love to have you!

How far along are you? Fruit if you know?

How are you feeling?

Any recent or upcoming milestones?

Upcoming appointments?

Thoughts/vents:

QOTW: What is the thing you're most looking forward to about Spring?

xoalicia and mills0401 Were either of you still interested in taking over the check in?

[racegurl87]

How far along are you? Fruit if you know? 37 weeks now and she's the size of a watermelon

How are you feeling? So stinkin tired and uncomfortable.

Any recent or upcoming milestones? In some pregnancy books I'm considered full-term, so I'd say that's a milestone

Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow morning for my weekly cervix check, and then every Monday until she either comes on her own or I get induced (on 3/9)

Thoughts/vents: I am so ready for this girl to come out..... I know I still have 3 weeks until my due date (and 4 until they induce me if she doesn't come on her own), but I'm ready to not be uncomfortable 24/7

QOTW: What is the thing you're most looking forward to about Spring? We don't really get a Spring here, so I'm looking forward to the temps not being so cold and all the snow being gone...

[xoalicia]

Absolutely I will start the thread starting next week

How far along are you? Fruit if you know? 13 weeks .. Peach

How are you feeling?nausea is finally
Letting up a bit. Feeling tired still but I'm sure that will subside lol.

Any recent or upcoming milestones? Upcoming milestone for me
Will be tomorrow

Upcoming appointments? Nt scan is tomorrow I am extremely scared nervous about another ntd or something going wrong again I have been crying all day. I just want my Rainbow

Thoughts/vents: I think tomorrow if things are good I will be less stressed. Obviously I will still have pgal brain but
Getting past this scan will be a huge deal

QOTW: What is the thing you're most looking forward to about spring
Less snow!! We have had so much snow in canada in the last month haha

@racegurl ::hugs:: you are in the home stretch! fx you won't need to be induced!

xoalicia Hope your scan goes well! ::HUGS:: Thinking of you!


How far along are you? Fruit if you know? 32 weeks! squash or Cabbage

How are you feeling?  Well minus having another kidney stone.. and a sinus infection... My inner thighs have been hurting. Sitting and stretching on my exercise ball seems to help a lot. Also I have zero energy and get breathless super easy. Can't even walk around a store for 5 minutes without feeling like I'm running a marathon. On the up side I haven't had any major kidney stone pain since Wednesday. Just waiting for that sucker to come out or start moving again if it isn't in the bladder yet. 

Any recent or upcoming milestones?  Not really... I've never been this pregnant before but that is true every week lol.

Upcoming appointments? OB on Wed. On Tuesday we have our hospital Pre-admission appointment! 

Thoughts/vents: Yesterday we took an infant/child CPR class. I had learned CPR as a campfire girl when I was 12 but it was good to refresh and practice on the mannequins. This coming Thursday is our last child birth class. (then next week we start breast feeding classes for 2 weeks on Tuesdays)  Last week we saw videos of births with epidural and the steroid shot. Way less scary then the all natural birth video was.   Yes... the woman working on passing her 20th kidney stone is all about getting the epidural. I figure after 20 kidney stones I've paid my pain dues... lol

QOTW: What is the thing you're most looking forward to about Spring?   NO MORE COLD! I really really hate cold. And I live in Colorado... lol The only bad part is I also know my allergies will be worse but at least I won't be cold! And Peep is due April 5 so that is another reason to look forward to spring! =)

xoalicia That would be great. Thanks for offering to take it over! GL on your NT scan tomorrow, let us know how it goes. I'll be thinking of you and hoping that it goes well and your LO is doing great!

backstreetpixie Thanks! I really don't want to be induced either. I was 8lbs 11oz when I was born so I'm a little afraid that she's gonna be huge like I was. That's pretty much the only reason my OB set an induction date in place, I told her I was afraid that we were going to leave her in too long and I wouldn't be able to deliver vaginally/med free. I feel ya on the cold... I moved from NorCal to North Dakota and this is my second winter here and I'm already asking H when we can move back to CA.

 LOL yeah. We are from Texas originally. We moved to MD for hubby's job in 2009 then to CO for his job in 2012. Our first winter outside of TX in MD there was a blizzard. It snowed like 4 feet. I was mortified. lol I told him "this better not happen every year!"  We are looking to get back home to TX next year because we live too far from our family and friends and we want our baby to know them. Also I would have babysitters lol. We don't know anyone here after my one friend moved back to PA where her family is. So yeah. In the part of TX we are from it will "snow" (sleet) maybe once or twice a year but usually melts the next day. None of this snowing in Dec and it still being here in May business.. lol

Our first winter here (2013-2014), we had snow on the ground from before Thanksgiving to mid-April. We actually got a freak snow storm the first of April, it snowed 2 feet in 24hrs. It was the coldest winter here in decades I think.... it was so cold that without wind chill it was around -20 for a few weeks.
