1. How far along? 34+2
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? My hips hurt so much. We went on our hospital tour and grocery shopping yesterday and by the time I got home my ankles were swollen and my hips were in so much pain I had to take some Tylenol to get to sleep.
3. Upcoming appts? This Thursday for an OB appt and BPP
4. Rants/Raves? 5 more weeks until S is here! I finally feel like we are making some progress on getting prepared for him to be here.
H spoke to his parents last night and apparently the reason that they haven't bought anything for S is because they don't understand how a gift registry works... They didn't understand that when you purchase things then it takes that thing off of the list so the receiver doesn't get duplicates. I will really never understand my IL's.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go?
Some secluded tropical island where I could relax for a few weeks.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? My hips are pretty sore now. I don't think baby is dropping yet but she's bigger so she's pushing down into my pelvis and ribs. At least the end is sort of in sight.
3. Upcoming appts? Weeklies every Friday from here on out.
4. Rants/Raves? I know I've mentioned before about how my contract was abruptly canceled at work and so I started "leave" two weeks ago. We live pretty frugally so we knew we would still be okay with me taking 3-6 months off after baby is born. However this weekend we found out that DH's second job (which had become 40% of our income) is wrapping up by the end of the month. Guess we can say goodbye to our savings now (which already had a dent in it thanks to IVF and then not being able to sell our house). I'm just feeling really stressed about money right now. I only got to take 6.5 weeks with my first rainbow since I was the sole breadwinner at the time. With the 2 years of TTCAL and dealing with IF I figured I was owed some time with the baby this time around. Pissed at the universe right now and going to talk to DD1's old day care provider today about how early they take infants now.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? A tropical island where no one bothers me but there is someone to bring me drinks whenever I want.

1. How far along?34+4 Ahhh!
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? More crotch pain, more BH, very little energy. I had random back spasms last night.
3. Upcoming appts? Wednesday with a midwife I haven't met. I think I have the gbs test and, of course, DD has to come to this appointment.
4. Rants/Raves? Last night my grandmother-in-law's cooking made me think I was going into labor but it was just an upset stomach. DD got it too. I just can't handle her heavy food. I keep finding new exercises meant to put baby in the best position and DH is so nice about doing them with me.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? The beach. I wish I could take DD and play and relax and read on a blanket. We rented a little cottage last year and it was the perfect vacation. But if I could just be not pregnant for a few hours and go to yoga, that would be heaven.
2. Super swollen ankles and LOTS of BHX. Some pelvic pain when I flip over at night.
3. Tuesday with the OB. Hopefully I'll get the results from the GBS back, and I'll have my first internal. Good news from last week's appt is I am now negative for antibodies! Wahoo!
4. Yesterday was so freaking hot! I took my two step sons to the midway, and although I'm glad that they had an awesome time, I was miserable. Rave: I managed to shave my legs yesterday! Lol also, DH is working 8pm-2am all week so it feels like we have a week off together (at least to me lol)
5. I've never been on a tropical vacation like to the DR or Mexico or any place like that. I'd really like to go at some point just DH and I since we never had a honeymoon.
1. How far along? 37+1!! Officially early term!!!!
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? Everything hurts. Nothing is comfortable for more than 15 minutes. Sleep kind of comes in waves... I'll have one absolutely awful night of almost zero sleep, then the next night or the night after I sleep like a rock except for getting up to pee. My hips are shot. Feeling less kicks and more just "movement" still. Our birth class instructor seems to think I dropped in the last week but I'm not sure.
3. Upcoming appts? Wednesday for my first pelvic... I'm actually not sarcastically excited. I and everyone else all seem to think this little lady has no interest in waiting the full 40 weeks, so I'm curious to see if there are any signs we're right!
4. Rants/Raves? I want this nugget to cook for as long as she needs... but I'm sooooo ready! I just want to snuggle her for real!! We finally finished the nursery this weekend which kicked up the "real" factor another notch and I'm just so excited!
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Hmm... either Australia or Italy!
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? knock on wood I am feeling okay. The baby must have shifted and I am walking with less pain.
3. Upcoming appts? Nst Today and thursday. and an OB visit Thursday. We had an u/s last week and everything looked good. Baby was measuring just under 6lbs.
4. Rants/Raves? I am panicking that my house will not be ready in time for this baby.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? I would like to back up to Traverse City and go to the Great Wolf Lodge. DS had so much fun there and it was just a good trip over all.

1. How far along? 35+2
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? Everything hurts! Ha ha. And I'm still having spotting episodes. I saw my OB last Monday and she said if it's brown, she's not concerned. Maybe TMI, I've had three episodes of brown spotting since I saw her and it does worry me a bit. But apparently my cervix is super sensitive and when I overdo it (which is too often), I bust blood vessels.
3. Upcoming appts? OB next Monday.
4. Rants/Raves? Rave: our maternity photo shoot is tomorrow and it looks like the weather will be decent! We had to cancel last time due to thunderstorms and DS being sick. Rant: Hopefully our photographer can edit out the big scratch on DS's face from hitting his head on the coffee table this weekend.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? I would love to get a cabin in the mountains and hike and drink beer by a campfire! Even just going camping at my favourite spots up north would be great.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? My pelvic and hips can't take much more. I felt like my pelvic bone was breaking last night. I ache all night sleeping too. Also been having pretty strong Braxton hicks that keep getting me excited for nothing.
3. Upcoming appts? Tomorrow.
4. Rants/Raves? H has been so cranky lately. I know he's stressed so I've been trying to be supportive but I'm the pregnant one here about to push a baby out any day, gah.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Disneyland with the kids, I want to take them so bad.

1. How far along? 35+2
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? Everything hurts. I totally over-did it getting DS's toddler room ready. Manageable acid reflux. Extreme bitchiness (may or may not be related to pregnancy).
3. Upcoming appts? Today - just a check-up
4. Rants/Raves?
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Tuscany sounds good or a cruise...I wouldn't mind being spoiled.
******Loss Mentioned***** Me-Stage 3 Endo DH-MFI Nov and Dec 2014-Letrozole+trigger+IUI=BFN Jan 2015: IVF#1:ET cancelled due to severe OHSS FET #1: April 2015=BFP 4/10 & M/C 4/27 & D&C 5/15 Hysteroscopy and polypectomy 7/31 FET #2: Aug-Cxl FET #2.1 9/18-BFFN FET #3: 10/23-
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? I had BH like crazy yesterday. Some today, but it seems to have slowed down. I think I just overdid it yesterday, but I'm getting so excited to get this baby out of me.
3. Upcoming appts? Today at 3pm. I have the GBS test and my first cervical check. I'm sure my cervix is as hard as a rock, but I might as well get checked if I'm already on the table
4. Rants/Raves? My H spent all day yesterday working on installing the sprinkler system. I love that he's such a hard worker, but sometimes I just want to give him a tranquilizer so he will hang with me. That man cannot sit still.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Anywhere with a beach, a chair to lounge on, and someone bringing me margaritas and pina coladas. And childcare.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, ha. So tired. So cranky. So sick of everyone at work.
]3. Upcoming appts? NST tomorrow, BPP Friday. My big follow-up growth u/s is next Friday
4. Rants/Raves? Our summer childcare is a combo of day camp+babysitter, my parents, and my ILs. My ILs are the most freaking difficult to deal with people on the planet and I feel like we need attorneys and a written memorandum of understanding every time we talk because everything turns into a huge complicated ordeal. Add in my DH who apparently doesn't think picking up our kid is ever mandatory for him (he's all, "You have to work late for a required meeting? Oh, I can *probably* pick her up." WTF dude) and I am ready to quit right now. I've spent four years being Childcare Juggler-in-Chief, I am freaking sick of it.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? I don't even know. Somewhere warm with a quiet beach and unlimited fruity drinks.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? I really can't complain too much. Just feeling a bit uncomfortable and like an old lady when I roll over or stand up from sitting on the floor. Plus I'm over my overactive bladder.
3. Upcoming appt? Next week for standard midwife appt. Then I go weekly - yikes!
4. Rants/Raves? We started packing this weekend. We made some progress, but I have so much anxiety about the whole move. Tip: don't move at 36+ weeks pregnant.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? 100% Australia. In 4th grade, we studied Japan and Australia, and I made it a goal to visit both places. I made it to Japan so next is Australia. I love doing outdoorsy stuff so it would be such a fun adventure. One day.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha?: hmm everything? Ha. My back and hips have really ramped up the pain lately. Sleeping is a joke. Heartburn always. I feel like I need to take a nap mostly all day. I've been having a lot of diarrhea too no matter what I eat so I am hoping that is just a normal late 3rd tri thing. Blah.
3. Upcoming appts?: The 28th for GBS test and the start of weekly appts.
4. Rants/Raves?: my cousins wedding was this last weekend and I had my hair and makeup professionally done because I knew it would make me feel better about being so huge, lol. It did! I got a lot of compliments not just about my belly. My rant is just that I'm over this being pregnant thing.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go?: Right now, since it's summer, I would go somewhere that is normally cold but warmer now, so probably like an Alaskan cruise or Iceland.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? My nausea is back. Bh in my back. This kid is giving my sharp crotch pain and rib pain. Acid reflux. I'm complaining way too much these days.
3. Upcoming appts? Just got home from one. Had the gbs test and cervix check. Definitely all closed up down there. Ug. My blood pressure is good. She wants me to decide if I want to be induced at 39/40 weeks or wait it out. She offered this because pregnancy has not been kind to me. I don't know what to do.
4. Rants/Raves? Rave: go cavs! Rant: see above!
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go?
I want to go back to an all inclusive resort in the carribean with no kids. Sit by the beach or pool with unlimited drinks!
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? Just overall feel of uncomfortable. I am always out of breath and tired. I feel like a beached whale trying to get out of bed in the morning. Just ready for this baby girl to make her grand entrance.
3. Upcoming appts? Standard OB and BPP on Thursday. I had my OB appointment on Friday for my GBS (still waiting on results) and labs. My thyroid medicine is a little too strong so they are adjusting it down. My placenta also moved up so I don't have to have a planned CS. But my blood pressure is starting to creep so they scheduled an induction for July 8th (39w1d). She also did a cervical check and I am at a 2 and starting to thin out. Let's see if she makes it to the 8th
4. Rants/Raves? Finally got the baby room all organized and ready to go. I also finished my Thank You notes this weekend. That is a complete win in my book.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Tropical - specifically in an infinity pool overlooking the ocean on an island somewhere. Please?

1. How far along? 35 weeks
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? My whole body! Well, except my SPD doesn't hurt anymore. It started hurting at 13 weeks, and now doesn't hurt....thank goodness!
3. Upcoming appts? End of the week - prenatal
4. Rants/Raves? I slept like poop, so I got up early to start getting things done, only to find that every store and place I need to go to......didn't open for another 2+ hours.
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Australia. My friend has been begging me for 5+ years to come and visit her out there, so it would be nice to get out there and see the sights!
1. How far along? 35 weeks 5 days. Our due date is a month from today!!
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? My pelvis is constantly feeling like it might break in two at any moment because Sam is so low. I actually think he dropped last night because at 1 am I felt pressure and what I'm guessing was his head grinding against my pelvis, and then this morning my belly looks lower and different. Also BH and cramping, and a ton of sharp pain in my cervix, especially when walking.
3. Upcoming appt? Sometime this week, I can't remember. I'm on weekly appointments now, holy cow!
4. Rants/Raves? I cannot believe our due date is a month from today, if we make it that far! I'm really hoping that my mom finally moves out this week so that we can get the rest of our things moved in and unpacked, and finally get the nursery all set up. Time is flying!
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? Hawaii! I've never been but have always wanted to, it just looks so beautiful. And I love Hawaiian food so that's a plus.
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? Everything hurts. My ute is also just so sore and he seems to kick in the same spot a lot which means that spot it super sore. I can't wait for him to come just so my body can calm down, I never thought I would miss my crappy body so much. lol
3. Upcoming appts? Wednesday for OB and Thursday for NST.
4. Rants/Raves? I haven't killed my SMIL or SGMAIL...No sure if this is a rant or a rave. lol
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? A lovely huge indoor pool with no one else there with non alcoholic fruity drinks.

1. How far along? The girls are 5 days old
2. Symptoms or what hurts, haha? Me: Some constipation from the pain meds, swelling in my feet has started to go down but my BP is still up. Otherwise I'm great! The girls: We have an appointment in an hour for a weight check. By the time we left the hospital they had lost 12% of their birth weight. They wanted me to nurse, pump, and then supplement with a bottle so I just switched to formula. I already spend so much time feeding them that I couldn't handle all that. They've been eating well and have plenty of wet diapers so I'll see what they say.
3. Upcoming appts? They go in today and I go in tomorrow for a BP check.
4. Rants/Raves? H has been amazing. Meeting the girls certainly lit a fire in him. Last night he sent me to bed at 11 and kept the girls in the living room with him. I woke up at 3 and went to check on them. He was feeding and changing them both and sent me back to bed and came to bed after. When they woke up at 6 to eat he still got up and helped even though I told him he didn't have to. So I actually got to sleep most of the night in my own bed and not on the couch or the hospital (which I think is what really helped my swelling)
5. If you could travel anywhere (non prego) right now, where would you go? A beach, although could I fast forward to when the girls are old enough for sunscreen and water and I'm not bleeding? Maybe a spa if not.
