~*~* 2nd & 3rd Tri Check-in 8/4/16 *~*~

[frenchteachermama]

Hey ladies!  Sorry I wasn't a good check-in leader last week...life was just so crazy!

***We still want this check-in right?  I meant to ask a while back since we moved to a full CAR check-in....Let me know what you think!!***

---------------

Welcome to the check in for those of us who are in our second or third trimesters! This is your place to let everything out: the awesome, the shitty, and your questions. So tell us:

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Rants/raves/updates?

QOTW:  Do you have any hidden talents?  Or special talents?

[gratefulgirl]

frenchteachermama - I think it's nice to have tri related check-ins. It's too bad the first tri one fell off the face of the map when those of us who tended to post it moved on!


How far along are you? 38+2, this is my last check-in!

How are you feeling? exhausted. No way to get this all done. Here I was hoping to be a little rested going into an RCS since I'm not dealing with prodromal labor keeping me up all night, but it appears that housework will make that a big fat nope.

Rants/raves/updates? if stuff would scrub itself and errands would run themselves so I could devote time to my family before this baby arrives, that would be great.

Next Wednesday is the day! I think we have name options roughly narrowed down. At least we have firsts and middles that we both can agree on and the list is not huge.

QOTW: Do you have any hidden talents? Or special talents? I have a very loud and growly yell for someone who is under 5' from my years as a crew coxswain. It's not something I plan to use on the kids, but it's available for their ex-boyfriends (or boyfriends) as needed.

Thanks frenchteachermama! I'm fine with doing both check-ins so let's see what the consensus is!

Omigosh gratefulgirl - 8/10 is so close!!!! All the positive vibes for a great RCS!!!! And man would I LOVE to hear that yell!!!

How far along are you? 39 weeks tomorrow!!!!

How are you feeling? LARGE! I'm now sleeping with SIX pillows (2 under my head, one b/w my legs, a throw pillow supporting my belly, another throw pillow supporting my back and another regular pillow under my left or right arm, depending on which side I'm sleeping on). This just started recently, maybe over the wkend.

Rants/raves/updates? Mentioned this on my BMB, but met with the OB nurse navigator at L&D yesterday to sign consent forms and such. I honestly felt like I was buying a house - the documents were endless!! I was there for nearly 2 hours but am glad I got it knocked out now rather than being in the throes of labor pains. I honestly just don't know how those ladies deal with all of those docs when it's go time!

QOTW: Do you have any hidden talents? Or special talents? I don't know if these classify as hidden talents but I've been referred to as a Jane of all trades b/c I'm great at absolutely nothing, a walking encyclopedia of useless trivia (unless one day I make it on a game show, right?!) and someone with an excellent memory (not photographic but I'm pretty good with names, birthdays and details that may have been mentioned once) - although this last one has been off due to pregnancy brain. However I must say, I think my memory is still pretty good over someone who isn't KU!

How far along are you? 20 weeks 3 days

How are you feeling? the last couple of days I've felt awful, but today I feel much better

Rants/raves/updates? As of yesterday we're officially team pink!! Little booger wouldn't cooperate very well for the anatomy scan so we'll have to go back next month and try and get the rest, but everything they did see looked great

QOTW: Do you have any hidden talents? Or special talents? I'm very good at scaring people, lol...DH and I have worked at a haunted attraction for the past 9 seasons...we love Halloween and it's a lot of fun

[frenchteachermama]

gratefulgirl, OMG you are so close!!!!! FX that everything goes smoothly for you love! I agree about the housework fairy, I would LOVE one over here myself! And you never know, that yell might come in handy with your kiddos later on! LOL

agpjt413, You are so close too!! That was so smart to fill out those forms! And that is an awesome talent!

tbonequeen13, YAY team PINK!!! And so fun about the haunted attractions! Are you going to do it this year?

[frenchteachermama]

How far along are you?
33W6D

How are you feeling?
I'm still hanging in, having good days and bad days. My girls still have 2 more weeks of camp before "mommy camp" starts again for the summer and I plan to use it to relax as much as possible. School doesn't start here until after labor day

Rants/raves/updates?
Not this week...

QOTW: Do you have any hidden talents? Or special talents?
I am excellent at the hoola hoop. And I almost ALWAYS win something out of those grabbing machines at amusement parks.

[tbonequeen13]

frenchteachermama, yes that's the plan! I was about as far along with DD during Halloween and felt up to doing it so I'm assuming this time will be the same. I am not able to work IN the house while pregnant due to the risks of being punched, so I will work outside either selling or taking tickets this year.

[frenchteachermama]

tbonequeen13, so fun!!!

[frenchteachermama]

opheliainwaders , yeah, the peeing issue never seemed to calm down for me either! And that's awesome about your sense of direction!
