2nd Tri Check In for 12/18

[cateyes]

We surprised our families this weekend and took them to an elective US as part of their Christmas present to see Bug. H is sure it is a boy since he "saw something between the legs", even though the tech told him that was the cord. 😂Here is Bug with a solid heartbeat of 162 at 15 weeks

jennykat, Can you please add me?

-EDD: June 15
-Team green for another 2 weeks or so
-How far along you are? 14w3d
-Upcoming appointments? appt tomorrow for Panorama test
-Anything you’d like to share? I can't believe I go here!

QOTW: Not a winter hat person at all. I'll wear a hood on my coat or a headband ear warmer if it's really cold out.

jennykat, I can do the check in

I'm 18 weeks 1 day now with team blue triplets.
My last MFM appt showed that bed rest is helping with my cervical length so I'm supposed to continue that indefinitely. We moved this weekend and even though I didn't do any lifting, I was on my feet a lot more and had to chase after DD so I feel like I over did it which I'm not very happy about. I'm trying not to over do things today, but also can't find anything since DH basically threw everything in boxes/bags with no organization. This is gonna be rough.
Other than that, I'm itching to get the tree up now that we're in our new place, but again, can't move anything so I have to wait for DH to bring it in.

Hi, all!

fightersince83 I'm so glad you are seeing some improvement from bed rest. Although, I'm sure bed rest with a toddler kind of sucks.

jennykat I hope the dosage increase helps!

teachermomtobe I hope the panorama is perfect! And welcome!

cateyes aw! Adorable babe!

. hope you are feeling better!

AFM, 26+2. (Wow!) I've been having some kind of scary Braxton Hicks on and off. I'm starting (as of today) to get more used of them, and be less scared something is wrong. I also found out today I have shingles...which is super annoying. I guess pregnant women are more at risk. It's painful, and hopefully goes away quickly. It can't hurt the baby though, so that's good.

QOTW: I really just use my hood, if I have to!

[dancerspose]

glb30 so sorry about the shingles! I actually had it about 4 years ago and it was really painful. My case did not show in the traditional ways (no rash) so it took a while to diagnose. They thought I had broken ribs and I had all these tests done because they couldn't figure out the source of the pain and swelling. It was actually my dad who figured it out. But yeah, it was definitely painful so I really feel for you. Once they figured it out and I got on the meds it went away pretty quickly.

. ,- Almost to the 3rd trimester! So exciting!

cateyes ,- Aw that's so sweet! I'm sure your family loved it!

teachermomtobe ,- Welcome!

fightersince83 ,- I'm so happy to hear the bed rest helped!

jennykat , I hope the new dosage helps you and glad your MH gets to go to the ultrasound!

glb30 , Oh my goodness! I've heard shingles is really painful. I hope you're feeling better soon :-(

AFM- I'm 17 weeks today! I'm really excited for our anatomy scan next week. I'm also looking forward to the holidays with family but we've been so busy with shopping, decorating and cleaning!

QOTW- I'm not really a hat person but I'm always trying to find one I like. So far I haven't found one that looks good.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!

[fightersince83]

QOTW: l forgot to respond to the question. I love beanies but if I wear one I wear it all day, no taking it off.

[fightersince83]

Wow guys, pregnancy brain. I looked at my notifications on Tapa and it took me to a post talking about team blue triplets. I got excited for a minute thinking it was someone else...it was my post🙄 😂 Wow.

Hello everyone!
I'm 16 weeks 2 days today. I finally finished all of my grades! Let the winter break begin!! I'm looking forward my anatomy scan in a few weeks. My Doppler has really kept me very sane.
My headaches are occurring more frequently. If I am slightly hungry I get a headache. So I'm eating all the time.

fightersince83 DH loves my pregnancy brain! He says I'm finally smarter than you now. Lol!!

QOTW: I like wearing hats or beanies in the winter or on a bad hair day, but either it's hat all day or not. No taking the hat off.

[glb30]

dancerspose I had a small rash on my back, but in the front, I was having a LOT of burning, severe pain and there is nothing you can see! It's so weird. I'm having a decent amount of swelling too, it's so weird!

@wineandcupcakes thanks for sharing your friends both had healthy babes! They said it won't hurt the baby, but of course, I am worried! Other stories help!

[fightersince83]

ttcbabyj yay for winter break! Enjoy your time off! Re: pregnancy brain- I keep telling DH that the three boys stole my brain. Creating three brains is hard yo 😉

[rslh10]

I know I'm late, forgive me!
25+2, have a wicked cold and pink eye. Wtf

I'm pretty stressed and would really like to crawl under a rock and sleep until March but whatever.

Trying to power through Christmas, then Kenley's first birthday is the 29th so I'm trying to prepare myself for this day.

We did get a tentative c-section date set for March 15th so I'm trying to focus on that. 82 days.

I can do this, right? Ugh.
