Hey all!
Eleanor is 9.5 months. She's determined to walk and requires us to hold her hands and walk her through the house pretty much all day. She's discovered the joy of cat food much to all of our displeasure, except Darcy who I think has determined that she is in fact a cat and requires food. No joke, he's tried to help her grab food. Aside from that she also crawls everywhere, loves the zoo, loves storytime and books and couldn't be cuter.

Hey GKU!!!!
AFM just hanging out at 23+1. On Friday we had our fetal echocardiogram and she tested out fine. We had to take a break during it since she decided to be a ninja in the uterus and was kicking like crazy. Because of that, all this time I thought I was having gas bubbles it was the baby kicking! They were able to get other measurements and she's growing just fine but she's going to be feisty and stubborn (a mix of both MH and I, I'm the feisty one!).
Yesterday I met with a MFM fellow for a consult. I have to do my one hour GTT again. She also has concerns about preeclampsia so she's recommending to my OB to induce me at 39 weeks. I'm a little sad about it. I would've liked one natural thing about this pregnancy, but I want a healthy baby at the end of the day. We'll see what my OB says but she'll probably agree with MFM.
Also because of the higher risk of preeclampsia I have to do a 24 hour urine collection. Fun times!

Hey, ladies! Giorgia is 3 months old! I can't believe how fast time is going. She's smiling and cooing, and I'm just waiting for laughing to start happening. This is how we spend about 90% of our days, so I can chase after the 2 and 3 year olds.

Hey! I'll be 36w tomorrow and am beyond ready for her to just be here already. I see the nurse tomorrow and then I have my last growth scan and an appointment with the peri on Thursday. The growth scan will determine if I need a c-section or not due to kid being fucking huge. Last week my fluid levels went up yet again, so they want to induce no later than 39w. So only 3 weeks to go at the most!
I'm just hoping kid doesn't come before next Friday, because that's when I plan on going shopping to get basic necessities. But with all the pain I've been having, I'm kind of okay with her coming before that and just sending my sister with my credit card and letting her deal with it all.
Overall I'm not feeling THAT bad but am definitely looking forward to meeting my little boy! Doctors are still insistent that I won't make it to my due date. Which still (to me) means that I will certainly need to be induced.
I've been having a ton of cramping, inconsistent contractions, BH, you name it.
No bump shot right now, I'll probably take one tomorrow. It might be my last one? Maybe?

requiressnacks, so happy for you! TWINS. Eeee, congrats lovely lady!
Pushing 17 weeks on Friday. We did early testing which says we're having a boy! Anatomy scan is scheduled for May, so we'll confirm then. Planning a baby shower for our friends who are due in August, so babies are most of the talk in our house these days.
Hey! I'm 23 weeks and eyeing up that 24 week viability line in six days.
I sprouted a bump last week. I wasn't totally ready for it. But, goddamn, my husband. He loves it. He stares at it, rubs it, kisses it, and tells me I'm beautiful all day long. He's kinda killing me. He dying to feel the baby kick. I keep promising that I'll sit on the couch and drink a coke one night.
Everyone keeps asking how I'm feeling and I'm honest - I find second trimester harder than first. I have less energy (walking home from work is a challenge), more pain (zomg, hips/intestines/muscles/joints/headaches), everything is starting to become squished inside, my clothes no longer fit, people are noticing/staring, and things are becoming real. I really had a bad meltdown last week because of all the changes and stressors going on in my life. My coworkers were like "You were mean last week," and I just don't know how to explain the onslaught of emotions and stress that I'm dealing with. Sorry I'm not handling it with grace? Physically and emotionally, second tri has kicked my ass.
I'm basically horrified that I'm closer to third tri than second right now.
AFM nothing much to report. 10+5 today. First appt and US tomorrow afternoon and we cannot wait. We are taking our son and I am curious to see if/how he reacts. If all is well we will announce on FB tomorrow- nothing cute probably because I am bad at that kind of stuff.
Oh and I'm obsessed with names for this kid, though it will be a while before the AS and we find out what we're having. My lists are getting REALLY long lol.
Picking baby names is my favorite! I need about a dozen kids lol.
congrats again requiressnacks! and hugs joy! sorry 2nd tri is kicking your butt.
hey, I go here now! I am 5 weeks today. Still in total shock. We are seeing the RE for our first ultrasound this week so hopefully that will make it feel a little more real!

requiressnacks, eeep! I saw your update earlier today and didn't get a chance to reply until now. I'm so excited for you!
joy, I didn't get a 2nd tri "energy burst" with DS. In fact, I hated being pregnant the whole time. It's okay to not like being pregnant even when you wanted to be pregnant for so long. Just like it will be okay to be tired at frustrated at 3 am when baby is crying, this baby you desperately wanted.
congrats again requiressnacks! and hugs joy! sorry 2nd tri is kicking your butt.

joy, sorry 2nd tri is kicking your ass. I didn't have a "energy burst" either. You don't have to love pregnancy, and your coworkers can stfu. You're pregnant, you're allowed to be mean.

Hi guys. I'm 15+2 today. I'm really hoping the being sick will end soon. I caught the cold that's making it's way around the office and it has nearly killed me. After the insane pressure in my head for two days, it moved into my chest, which means I wound up with asthma problems and nearly went to the ER last night. I finally decided to try a hot shower with vicks and some sleep. I'm feeling better now (I can breathe again!), but I'm going to have a talk with my OB about what I can do to keep that from happening again, since major doses of caffeine is probably not a good idea.
Besides that, things are going pretty well. With the BRU sale over the weekend, we bought the car seats, the cribs, and the mattresses. The cribs should be here this weekend! We'll also hopefully find out the sexes next week at the next cervix check/sneak peek ultrasound.
