PAIF/PgAL Check in 1/17

Hi ladies...

How are we doing?

Have you started working on the nursery? themes? 


AFM: I am almost at viability (2 days!) which makes me feel better. I've been feeling kind of down lately, and not sure if it's because of missing my angel, or fear of the up coming months. I'll be starting bi-weekly ultrasounds and NSTs within the next month, then every week BPP/NSTs once I hit 32ish or so weeks.

Yay for being so close! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling great, and hope it gets better.

I'm doing pretty well these days, since I feel her so often. I still have some fears in the back of my mind, though, and will feel a bunch better when I hit viability.

We have nursery plans, though so much will depend on the house we end up with when we move later this year.

doing well....hit 24 weeks on Sunday!

routine MFM appointment this morning. baby girl looks great, placenta and cord look great. just need to keep the (likely) GD under control and keep up with my baby aspirin.

we will not be having a nursery. LO will sleep in our room (sidecaring the crib) until she can transition to her sister's room

I've been doing okay. I had a lot of anxiety this week, unrelated to the pregnancy, but it has still given me bad thoughts in the back of my mind. I hit 24 weeks next week which will help me greatly too, I think.

Currently we don't have a nursery either. Little guy will sleep in the co-sleeper in our room first and then we will see about the nursery. Currently my sister lives in our guest room, so that would have been his nursery. My daughter says she wants him to sleep in her room, so we'll see if that's feasible.

icedtea, movement is definitely reassuring. Love that my little girl is very active!
chknma, whoot viability, I hit mine today.

LO will sleep in our room too, for probably six months like we did with DS. Then a slow transition to her own space

[shandorfml2]

setsuna17, sorry about the anxiety, totally sucks. Hopefully this week will go quickly and next week will be easier!

[hpnegirl]

I give mad props to all of you who keep the LOs in your room more than a couple of weeks, I don't know how you do it!

I'm meh. I'm struggling more with disrupting our family than PgAL at the moment but had a breakdown in the car about potentially having a premie.

Our nursery is about 80% done but I've been dragging my feet on finishing it lately. I need to get it done and get a mattress for the crib sooner rather than later

I've transitioned somewhat to IF worries to bedrest and preemie worries. But the boy is moving more than the girl, so of course that gets me from time to time.

We went to a multiples class this week. The class itself was fine, but we were able to speak to a panel of moms and get a NICU tour. Our hospital is a level 3 NICU, so they have about 50 rooms and had 30 babies there. That was definitely sobering.

I also had my follow up to my anatomy scan, and they got good pictures of the heart. My cervix is still long and both placentas are in good places, so I'm feeling a little less anxious now.

We have the nursery planned, furniture picked out, and have the room 80% cleaned out. The floors upstairs are very creaky so we're going to redo them. I've gotten on a carpet kick lately, but I think we'll just put new hardwood down then get a big area rug.

[shandorfml2]

river, ugh creaky floors. we have real hardwood in the hallway out side the kids rooms. A real pain in the ass once you get them to sleep then make a bunch of noise leaving!!
