2nd Tri Check-In: 11/27

[crazycatlady6]

jennykat - thanks for the check-in!

I am 27+3 which means this is my last check-in! Time has been flying since V-day came and went. My little boy has been so active today and I'm loving every second if it.

No appointments this week as i will be traveling back home since my mom and sis are throwing me a baby shower on Sunday! FX for no snow since many friends are traveling.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!

qotw: my shopping is nearly done for my side since we are celebrating an early Christmas while I am in town, haven't started with in-laws, DH, or friends. I'm still meh on what I want, my gift will come in February.

I have my growth scan Wednesday (15w6d), so I'm hoping we'll be able to see the sex of the second one! The round ligament pains have been something the past few days, but I did my best to work through it today.

QOTW: I gave my husband half a list today, and the theme was comfortable. Warm socks, scarves, a blanket. Pretty boring, especially since I asked for a pair of nice maternity jeans. I can't wear jeans to work, so I'm hoping one quality pair will get me through the winter and spring. We don't buy for a ton of people, thankfully, but I do spoil my nieces and nephew.

Hi everyone

21+5 today, and enjoying the constant movement of this little girl. Have a sanity check ultrasound on Thursday, and then we have the fetal echocardiogram on December 13th.

My H and I were diagnosed with friggin pneumonia last week. We were both seen at the urgent care on saturday where the doctor said it was just a chest cold. My H didn't get any better, and neither did I so he went to the ER a few days later and sure enough he had it. I ended up being told to go to L&D by my MFM so I did. I had to go alone (H is sick) and it was the first time I had gone since I went last year and heard Kenley had died. It was just a big cluster fuck of emotions, but I managed. IV fluids, Xray, and the diagnosis of pneumonia...which lead to a wicked antibiotic shot that hurt like a bitch.

We spent thanksgiving at home, eating pizza and drinking gatorade. I'm kind of glad I had an excuse for the annual thanksgiving festivities. I just don't think I would have been in a good head space to go.

Tomorrow my sweet girl should have been 11 months old...I'm trying to be ok with these milestones, but they're just hard. We are planning to go get our christmas tree, and I just saw it going so much differently.

22 weeks and chugging along. I am having lots of RLP and hip numbness/pain. The chiropractor seems to really help with the hip and back pain and of course rest. Both babies looked great on the fetal echo today.

QOTW: Have you started your holiday shopping yet? Or your own wish list? I've bought maybe 3 gifts, I can't get into this year, I'm so distracted by baby things/nursery setup. DH and I have told everyone to just shop for the babies for Christmas so I don't really have a wish list.

jennykat, thanks for the check in! I hope your trip goes well.
crazycatlady6, I hope your shower goes well and the traveling is easy!
river, I hope your growth scan goes well and baby cooperates!
rslh10, I am so sorry you've been so sick, I hope the u/s goes well on Thursday!

Hi jennykat, Can I be added?

Due Date is May 29th with 1 girl.
14 weeks
Upcoming appointments- We have the anatomy scan and OB on December 29th.
Anything you’d like to share? Excited to be here!

QOTW: I have most of my niece and nephews shopping done but still have a lot to do. I don't really need anything other than some maternity clothes so hopefully people will just buy the baby something instead of me.

Hi, all!

crazycatlady6 congrats on 3rd tri! I hope the shower is a great time!

river I hope you find out the sex of baby 2.

jennykat I hope the trip goes smoothly!

@rlsh10 wow- I'm sorry about the pneumonia and all the crazy emotions of l & d. Huge (((hugs)))

@dukesgirlsc what is Tre hip numbness/pain? I'm having that too. Although mine is more between my hip and thigh. 😑

airbear916 welcome! 😊

[glb30]

As for me, I'm 23 + 3. I was dealing with some serious nausea and vomiting over thanksgiving but I've been feeling better since Sunday. Movement has been helping me emotionally. I cannot believe I'll hit V day this weekend. Next week, we have our echocardiogram.

I have started, and made a lot of progress, on our registries. The shower invites are going out soon, and I was in a bit of a time crunch. I've really been nesting the last couple days. I now know what the term "nesting" means. Haha.

QOTW- I asked my H for new sweatpants and told my parents I wanted money. I'm supposed to get my list to my sisters this weekend. I haven't bought for anyone despite best intentions.

Thanks for the check-in jennykat, good luck with your trip! How was your appt yest?

crazycatlady6 congrats on passing v day and moving on to third tri! The movement really is the best! Most assuring thing ever!

What a bummer about the pneumonia rslh10, hope you an DH are feeling better! The holidays must be such a bittersweet time for you, know I am thinking of you ((hugs))

dukegirlsc glad the echo went great and both babes are looking good!

welcome airbear916! Hope the month flies by to get to your A/S!

glad you're feeling better glb30, and totally agree with you on the movement.

I'm currently 23w2d, and looking forward to v day next week! OB appt this Friday. DH and I have been off the past few days so have been working on the nursery, so far so good!

QOTW: I've gotten some of it done but definitely need to do more!

[river]

I hope your scan was good, jennykat. Have fun(?) on the trip with your students!
rslh10, I hope you kick the pneumonia soon. I've been thinking about you and Kenley.
dukegirlsc, great news about the fetal echo and I feel you on the ligament pain.
Glad to see you here, airbear916!
It's got to be surreal to go from IF to viability. Congratulations on reaching that milestone, glb30 and sms2524.
Low risk of preterm labor is fantastic, @wineandcupcakes!! I hope your sugar levels are good!

We had a great growth scan, and the MFM doctor said that they are progressing beautifully. The tech was able to get a good look at both, and confirmed one boy and one girl! I'm really excited, and with each little piece of news, it feels more real.

[rslh10]

river yay!!! So exciting, one boy and one girl

[fightersince83]

OMG guys, I keep reading the post thinking I already responded and then not responding... wow! Well, pregnant brain is in full effect. I'm 15 wks 4 days
I saw the MFM today and all 3 boys looked good. The MFM is blown away that they all look so good. They measured 5 oz, 5 oz & 4 oz. My cervix measured shorter than I would have liked but my MFM wasn't concerned so I'm going to try not to worry.

QOTW: I started some shopping but mostly for DD and babies. Oh and maternity clothes 😬
