How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable? 35w2d
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Feeling really good, considering the bed rest. The nice thing about it being cold outside is I don't want to be out moving around. Does kind of suck in the house though because I want to be nesting and I can't. I am not huge but I definitely look bigger than I feel. Emotionally doing well too for the most part. Thrilled to be 35 weeks and unless my labs change drastically, I'm getting more hopeful we'll actually make it to the 37 weeks date.
Other Updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? We are so unprepared for this baby. I mean I have diapers and a place for baby to sleep (if H would get the sheets washed) so critical items are ok. Not even close on a name. I figure anything that isn't ready I'll be able to take care of once I start feeling more mobile after c-section. Having not much help to speak of has created a pile of disaster around this house. lol
Upcoming milestones or appointments? OB appointment today that went well (labs pending). Last one is next week. Growth scan tomorrow and two more NSTs. Baby day is exactly two weeks from today!!
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Please let me make it through the NST this week without drama.
And as always, bump/baby pics are encouraged!!
QOTW: What's your favorite thing about your DH or SO? I like that he's really smart. I would have to say my favorite, though, is that he's extremely loyal (almost to the point of it being a fault).
beachdreamer - Fingers crossed for a good NST, and that baby stays put for 2 more weeks. I'm so happy for you that you've made it this far. Good luck with all the tests!
QOTW: What's your favorite thing about your DH or SO? He is loyal and devoted to his family and would do anything for us, and he is a great dad.
DS will be 16 weeks tomorrow. Just since last week, he's started grabbing at things on purpose, rather than just randomly batting at things. He also learned how to turn his crib soother on and he is mighty pleased with himself when he does.
This weekend he finally decided he likes the swing. He only liked it before when it was in the cradle position and mode. Now he thinks swinging is a bunch of fun.

jwinct, he's adorable! beachdreamer, I'm glad the bedrest isn't too horrible and that you're getting so close to 37 weeks. I hear you on being completely unprepared. caer, Thanks for the checkin; hope all's well!
AFM, sorry I've been so MIA lately. I'm 36 weeks, 2 days and doing fine. I have killer heartburn/reflux/nausea, but other than that I feel good. I had a doctor's appointment/NST today, and I'm now scheduled for either induction or a repeat c-section (depending on how labor is progressing on its own) on February 3. So weird to have an exact date.
Usually I'd say his sense of humor and open mind, but right now his general helpfulness/responsibility and willingness to take care of practical details. We have so much to do right now, and I seriously can't imagine what I'd so without him.

How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable? 28w5d
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? I'm ok! Reflux has been my one ongoing physical issue. And sometimes PGAL still rears its ugly head. But otherwise ok.
Other Updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? Still waiting on my 3 hour GTT results. Ugh.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? I have my regular OB appointment on Monday then I go to every other week appointments. Can't believe that's happening already!
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? No thank you.
And as always, bump/baby pics are encouraged!! This is from last week, my last day of second tri:
QOTW: What's your favorite thing about your DH or SO? Probably his intelligence and his sense of humor.

Yay I'm so excited for you tiresiastheblond! As for us DS will be 17 months next week. He has really learned a bunch more words lately. He loves all vehicles. He could literally watch traffic all day. We are thinking about maybe tfas soon so I may be back soon. Poof

How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable? 6w6d, blueberry
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Nervous emotionally...the next u/s still seems so far away. Physically I've had a horrible headache for two days and can't shake it, I'm almost unable to function. No bueno. I also had a bit of light bleeding earlier in the week, I was a bit freaked but no one else was and it stopped within a day.
Other Updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? Just anxiously awaiting next week's scan to see if there really are two babies growing in there.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? Next Friday u/s!
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? I'll take a good thought of two that we get good news next week, please!
And as always, bump/baby pics are encouraged!! nothing to see here
QOTW: What's your favorite thing about your DH or SO? Well maybe not my favorite thing, but the one top of mind right now is that he's super smart and loves to learn everything he can about something once he gets started, its cute.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
DD is 16 months and still nursing a ton (when I'm around, morning, late morning snack, pre-nap, mid-afternoon snack, late afternoon snack, bedtime, and it doesn't stop there! We co-sleep and she nurses 2-5 x a night. I kind of love it, though. I haven't attempted to wean her. The few times I've resisted nursing she has gotten quite upset and I realize that the main reasons I try are society or external. But when it comes down to it, in the moment, I know that this time I have with her is precious and I try to stay zen about it and enjoy the bonding. She gets so relaxed and zen herself. It's nice to know I can be there for her (and vice versa)
Still haven't gotten my period yet but have had some signs that maybe my body is kicking back in? We've started pulling out because not quite ready yet for #2. I turn 40 in September and will probably start trying then.
DH is tall and I feel safe with him. He's also good at cleaning and generally wise and conservative with his decision making - which is good to balance out my impulsiveness!
