@renwgadewhit Labor Day is so close! Hang in there~ I'm super is super hard to be away.
AFM:
How far along are you? 9+2, grape.
How are you feeling? Still exhausted, but otherwise pretty good! Emotionally, I'm doing well too.
Other updates, vents, prep: This isn't totally pregnancy related, but I just started a job about a month ago. We have an attorney retreat out of town this weekend. I don't really know anyone, I'm exhausted, picky about food and can't drink. A weekend of socialization out of town sounds awful right now. I'm kind of dreading it. I'd also like to make some friends, but I just don't feel like this is going to be my weekend. I wish I was "out of the closet."
Upcoming milestones, appointments: I am meeting with OB #2 on Thursday. After that appointment, we will decide which OB we want to go with.
Thoughts/Prayers: Not this week, thanks.
Favorite Book: I don't really have favorite books bc I don't reread stuff. My favorite recent book was girl on the train or nightingale

How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 14w3d
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically still very nauseous and tired, but not puking so that's good! Emotionally still having lots of AL dreams. Go away!
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc.? Not really. Once our master bedroom makeover is done we can move J to her new room and start prepping the nursery. But most of this won't happen for a while. I'm so OCD/type A I want to do it now LOL
Upcoming milestones or appointments? Nope. Nothing until 9/6 when we have a regular OB appointment.
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Not this week. Thanks
QOTW: Oh, man. I love to read. I'm rereading the Harry Potter series now. But I'll be stalking for recommendations

How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 36+1 baby is a delicious papaya
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Been having back and pelvic pain... but feel good otherwise. Emotionally, I am anxious! I kind of want to be left alone, but in a good way.
I also found out that it bothers me to know about SOME people's pregnancy. It doesn't upset me, but it bothers me... weird? My mom keeps talking about the neighbor's daughter pregnancy and even sent me pictures of a distant cousin's twins. I kind of want to say "I don't care" but I just say "cool". Maybe I'm jealous of my mom? Lol
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? Nothing today...
Upcoming milestones or appointments? I'm at the doctor's office right now. Baby A is about 6lb 13oz already! Haven't seen my weight yet though... I'm sure it's gonna make me cry... lol
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Not today
QOTW: What's your favorite book? Well, I don't read much... Shame on me... So the only thing that comes to mind is the HP series...

How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. Haven't had a dating US yet but I think almost 7 weeks--prob the size of a seed
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically so so--I had horrible itching down there for the last two weeks. Long story short--yogurt seems to be the solution. Emotionally feeling tired and like I have a lot on my plate since I am trying to finish my dissertation in the next few weeks. My mom is here and I have been debating whether to tell her but I think I have decided it is best to just keep silent until we have more info. Also I have this perhaps unfounded fear that she won't be happy for us but just anxious about how I will handle two under two .
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? DH ripped up the carpet on our 3rd floor so that now we can have the floor refinished. The guest room on the 2nd floor is going to have to move up there when the new little one arrives.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? No ultrasound til sept 1. It sucks--my doctor would have me in now but we have a really crummy interim insurance that he doesn't take until Sept 1
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Not this week thank you.
QOTW: What's your favorite book?[/quote]. Tough one! I love Indian novels--the God of Small Things is once of my very favorites.
Also--and please forgive me for being out of the loop--I was wondering why there is this all CAR checkin now and a 2nd/3rd tRI but no 1st tri? Are there not enough of us?

I hear there used to be a 1st tri check-in, but it fell off for some reason. Someone should start it up!

How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Doing pretty well...baby girl was super active yesterday and DH and DD got to feel her move, so that always help to reassure me

QOTW: What's your favorite book? That's a super hard question..I don't think I can answer it b/c the list would be super duper long

renegadewhit - So cute that yiu are using the shoes for the announcement!!! We used our dogs... I remember how I felt when I bought the first baby item... it was a blanket that I had to give away because it was girly... lol
glb30 I'm sorry you have to socialize when you dont feel like AND when no one knows about baby... it sucks to give excuses for why we are not drinking...

renegadewhit, yeah--it doesn't seem like we need a 1st tri checkin. I guess am kind of puzzled about why there is an all CAR checkin and also a 2nd and 3rd tri--seems like there's a huge amount of overlap, but whatever works for CAR works! Thanks foro the good wishes for my dissertation--I am so ready to have this monkey off my back!

renegadewhit Yes, my appointment went great. I put less than a pound on the last 2 weeks (hooray!!) only by cutting the insane amount of bread I was eating lol. Cervix is thin but I'm not dilated yet. Also yes for the weekly appointments. My next one is on the 1st.
I will send u the picture of the announcement if u want.
My SIL did her announcement like that. 3 pairs of shoes and wrote "our family is growing by 2 feet" or something like that. Are u making cards or posting in social media?

Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Getting a cyst removed near my ear today. Fx it isn't too painful after because I want to avoid tylenol.
QOTW: What's your favorite book? Mrs wigglesworth's secret.

Thanks so much everyone! The scan went well, and revealed no abnormalities and everything looked great. MFM thinks everything is progressing well and has no reason not to believe I won't deliver near or close to term.
madameovary, I wonder F the doc can recommend or prescribe a topical anesthetic for any pain, so you can avoid taking something systemic? Hope it goes well!!
Thanks! Pain has been tolerable, but the pressure bandage is ridiculous. My husband has been washing my hair for me every night over the bathtub so I don't get it wet.
