Tuesday grad thread!

Oh, and my favorite factoid about my pregnancy so far - I've lost 15 a total of 15 pounds since I got pregnant. This is the only upside to the whole Gestational Diabetes thing.

[Deleted]

Yay for all the cute baby/bump pictures!

jwinct, I hope all goes as smoothly as possible in delivery!

@kleigh, sending positive thoughts to your friend!

[jags8]

pismoduo I don't think I knew you were a fellow cheesehead! I can't wait to take DS to the Dells when he is a little older!

[jags8]

Thanks for the tag dashook !

I don't really have anything to update, so I will just share some recent pics of my favorite guy!

*poof*

[SheilaTheTank]

Thanks dashook , for the tag.

K is 6 months old! She can sit, eat big people food, roll back to belly, loves to stand, babble and "sing". Here she is chilling with daddy before bedtime.

Thanks for tagging me dashook!

I'm late to the game, but here I am at 18w3d. We have our A/S tomorrow. I can't believe it's already that time! They're going to take a closer look at how my sch is doing (I haven't had any spotting for over a week!) and my placenta previa. Hopefully everything looks stable, or better than my last scan.

I'v been battling a head/chest cold for several weeks now, so I feel like I'm missing out on enjoying the 2nd tri "easiness", but as long as Peanut looks good and healthy, that's all I can ask for.

I feel like I've gained more weight in my boobs than my belly at this point. The busty-ness is out of control.

Oh! Actually I'm not. There's one in Washington, too!

Hey ladies! I take bump pics on Wednesdays so I figured I'd wait until today to post.

38 weeks today!! And finally done with pre-baby prep. Car seat went in Monday night, installation inspected yesterday, and my hospital bag is packed except for the last minute items like cell phones and chargers. Still some finishing touches to be done for the nursery, but since he'll be sleeping in our room at first I'm not too worried about it not being 100% done.

Feeling pretty good for the most part. Tired all the time but no surprise there. Plus I definitely stayed up too late some nights watching the Olympics so it's probably good they're over. My mom bought me a prenatal massage for my birthday so I did that this past Saturday and it was glorious. Unfortunately the not so fun hip pain has since returned.

My 30th birthday was earlier this month and the party MH is throwing me had to be postponed to this upcoming Saturday so I'm just hoping baby boy keeps baking until after then. Tomorrow's appointment includes my first cervical check so we'll see if anything is going on in there!

And the bump!!

Thank you for the tag dashook!

Baby is half-baked today! I have my AS in Friday but I think we're going to put off finding out the sex and stay Team Green. But maybe not. But probably. I don't know lol H just rolls his eyes when people ask if we're finding out because I'm so indecisive.

I'll add a bump pic in a bit

ETA: Here it is.

dashook , thank you for the tag!!!

Our O is 3 months old, and I am smitten. He is a super social and happy baby. We found out he is allergic to milk proteins, but are working through that. I'm back at work and being away from him sucks. Weekends have definitely taken a new meaning.

Husband has been traveling a lot so we made him this video- please excuse my voice

Hi everyone! I'm 32+2 today and I'm actually feeling pretty good. My swelling has been manageable, my headaches aren't bad, I'm back off of the diclegis but still need tums/zantac for acid reflux. I had an appointment this morning and my OB is really happy with where I am and where the babies are. This week, the babies measured 4 lbs and 5 lbs, 5 oz so their discordance dropped to 24%. She's stopped talking about delivering around 34 weeks and thinks we'll actually make it to about 36! H is terrified of nicu time, so we want to do everything we can to avoid it.

[peaseblossom55]

Sorry for the late post 20 week scan was today and she is completely healthy. I was in tears she is so active too. Mfm thinks I should deliver near or close to term.
Still lurking and rooting for you all.

I'm so happy to hear things looked good with little Duck peaseblossom55!

I'm happy to hear Duck is doing well peaseblossom55. You're always in my thoughts.

[GOmamab15]

Such a cute bunch of babies and bumps!!

BabyGO is really growing! He's 6 weeks and weighs 11lbs5oz! (Up almost 2lbs in 2 weeks) He has totally outgrown newborn size diapers and we moved the car seat buckle into the next slot. He is alert and happy when we go out on our play dates and he hints at social smiles.

I had mastitis last week and so I was cooped up at home, now my DH has been down with a man cold (maybe flu, I should be nicer to him) But being able to get out and socialize issue much better for my mental health, this week I've been going out as much as possible with the babe while DH rests.
Poof


I hope to continue to see more BFPs and good news around here!

I think we've finally decided that's what we're going to do.

+1 to this thelittleredm!  I will never ever forget my H's face or the way he sounded when he announced, "It's a boy!" in the delivery room.  After 5 hours of pushing, there was nothing better than that.

Also, the way I see it, there's very little chance you'd regret staying Team Green (after all, you DO get to find out eventually and it really isn't that long!) but you could potentially regret it if you find out and then later wish you had been surprised.

Are any team green ladies crafters? I'm just wondering if you craft before you know what baby is... I'd never be able to get the crafts done I do after a baby comes.

The extent of my crafting is painting/drawing/sculpting or doing latch hook rugs that go with the nursery theme (which is marine/ocean, so neutral). No way I'm getting anything done once baby is here!

[thechickencoop]

Oh peaseblossom55 I'm so glad to hear Miss Duck is doing well!! {{hugs}} mama!

[britta]

peaseblossom55 thrilled to hear that Duck is doing well! Prayers for an uneventful remainder of pregnancy for you.

thelittleredm Team Green 4 lyfe. There was absolutely nothing sweeter after a long labor and terrifying emergent CS than MH being able to whisper in my ear, "We have a little boy". Nothing.

Sure - I made an entire alphabet/children's literature wall project.

Bumping this to add my update from today's appointment.

Just got back from our first ultrasound. I shouldn't be surprised but I still am...but we are having TWINS!!!!!! I'm both terrified and excited. Both baby's are measuring a couple days ahead but they are not changing the due date yet. Baby A is measuring 7 weeks + 1 day with a heart rate of 148 and Baby B is measuring 7 weeks +1 day with a heart rate of 142. I'm so so so so in shock. I'm still shaking. After years of struggling I can't believe I'm going to have TWO babies!!!!

[PirateCat]

mustloveerica, that is so exciting! I'm so happy for you.

[requiressnacks]

AHHHH! I am so happy for you, mustloveerica! Welcome to the twin club! I hope to see you on our pregnant with multiples check-in on the parents of multiples board.

[thechickencoop]

mustloveerica omg!!!!

[penguin129]

Congrats on your twins mustloveerica!
