renegadewhit sorry the house sale stuff is a mess! Labor Day is so close though, so hopefully a weekend at home will make you feel better! I hope the Appointments this week go well!
AFM-
How far? 10w3d, kumquat (can't say I know what that is)
How are you feeling? Physically, I have been battling migraines that do not go away. I had one for about 7 days straight. I'm okay today. Emotionally, I'm stressed. I had a Pap smear on Thursday, and had bleeding during it and after, but it went away completely by Saturday AM. Saturday night, I had bright red spotting once when I wiped. I called the OB and he said if it went away, it was probably from the exam and to not worry. If it became worse or I had cramping, to go to the ER. It quickly turned to brown spotting and went away, but it really freaked me out. Luckily, I have an u/s tomorrow.
Updates: Not really. We had an ultrasound on Thursday that showed baby measuring 2 days ahead with a great HB.
Upcoming appointments: Tomorrow- u/s. I'll schedule my genetic testing as well.
Prayers? I could use some that the baby is okay, and the spotting was nothing.

glb30, the same thing happened to me with spotting like that after a Pap...freaked me out for sure! Glad it's settled down for you now.
AFM,
How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 24 weeks/corn
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? doing pretty well
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? hit viability age this week! Upcoming milestones or appointments? 2 appts this week- regular OB and follow-up anatomy scan Do you need any thoughts or prayers? no, thank you QOTW: Are you for or against all things pumpkin? When should it start?yes!!! I love pumpkin! I'm ok with it starting in Aug because it assures me that fall is coming eventually and I can withstand a few more weeks (or months) of heat.

renegadewhit, I'm sorry about the house stuff, I hope it gets figured out and doesn't affect your ability to buy a new home glb30, glad the spotting went away
How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 21 weeks 2 days, aps all say different things, pomegranite
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically ok, emotionally some anxiety on and off it depends. I feel a lot more sore though in my lower back and have had some sciatica too. I am feeling her move around so much and I love it.
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? Curtains I ordered from PBK have been there for 2 weeks. I still am nervous/worried something will go wrong and don't want to prep for the baby. I keep finding excuses for every weekend throughout September too.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? I had a great 20 week A/S last week, MFM expects I should deliver near or close to term. OB appointment on Wednesday.
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? None thank you
QOTW: Are you for or against all things pumpkin? When should it start? Pumpkin stuff should start in October, I hate when we try to move into the next season/holiday too quickly. I'm pretty ambivalent to pumpkin things though.
Hi Everyone, I'm still not on the list but I hope that will change this week when I get a due date (fingers crossed)
Sorry about the house issues renegadewhit. It is seriously the most stressful thing ever. We closed on two houses on the same day this summer and I became physically ill feeling from all of the anxiety! Fingers crossed rought seas will calm down.
glb30, hope this week is calmer but great news about the baby measuring ahead!
How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 8 weeks tomorrow--pinto bean I think
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically, having some nausea although I haven't booted. Emotionally, even though I said I wouldn't get stressed about my appt on Thursday, I am getting knots in my stomach when I think about it.
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? Trying to finish my manuscript draft of my dissertation in the next day or two--that's prepping for baby!
Upcoming milestones or appointments? Yes, this feels like a big week. I have an US on Thursday at 9:40. And with my 11-week loss, I started spotting at 8 weeks, so that is always in the back of my head.
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Just a few good vibes would be wonderful. It's hard to have no one but my husband and you internet friends know about this little one.
QOTW: Are you for or against all things pumpkin? When should it start? I LOVE Halloween. My mom and I used to carve 20-30 pumpkins every Halloween and make a big field in our yard. But I must say that we should wait til October is well underway.
sfazar - All the good vibes coming your way. It's tough being in the 'secret' phase.
AFM...
How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 15w3d
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Physically exhausted. I'm pretty sure I could instantly nap anywhere. And all the acne and indigestion. Emotionally a little wracked. Had a few RLP cramps this weekend that were distracting, and not feeling much movement yet (it's early, but I swear everyone on my BMB is talking about the frequent flutters/bumps).
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc.? MH and I are still struggling with announcing on FB. I don't really want to; he really does. I'm just nervous, and very aware of others in our lives that are dealing with infertility/loss, so I want to be sensitive.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? Next regular OB appointment is next Tuesday.
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? No thank you
QOTW: I love pumpkin, but it's because I'm allergic to raw apples so pumpkins are kind of my only go-to fall flavor because I know they're safe. I like the PSL from Starbucks, but the one from Wawa is way better. I also love to bake, so fall is totally my season for pumpkin bars, cookies, pie, etc. I don't think I could do it all year around though.

Thanks for the check in renegadewhit, I can't believe I'm next on the list!!
How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 37W3D, bunch of swiss chard
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)?
I'm actually surprised at how good I still feel...I get REALLY tired by the end of the day but I'm still hanging in! Emotionally I'm doing ok. I just want baby girl to be healthy.
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? I'm struggling about whether to get my tubes tied or not after my RCS. I'll be open already, this is baby #3, and I'm going to be 39 in Dec. I know she is my miracle baby, I just worry that if something goes wrong (thank you IF) that I'll regret the decision. At the same time I'm not sure I could handle another miscarriage (I had 4 between DD2 and this baby) so I do like the idea of having a procedure done that will help me heal and not second guess everything....DH wants me to be positive and not think about anything going wrong. He's totally fine with getting a vasectomy too but thinks that since I'll be open already I should just go ahead with getting my tubes tied.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? Weekly check tomorrow, she's going to do an internal exam to see if anything is happening down there. DD2 was born around 38W3D...
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? I could use some this week...
QOTW: Are you for or against all things pumpkin? When should it start? ASAP! I love the fall and everything pumpkin!!!

Follow up anatomy scan looked great! I'm pretty annoyed though, because apparently they decided to do a fetal echo but didn't feel the need to tell me they were going to do it- so there I am sitting on the table while the tech spends a good 20 mins just looking at baby's heart and not saying anything even when I ask questions. Then she sends another tech in because she says there's a shot she can't get, and that tech doesn't say anything either. Then I wait another 20 mins for the doctor to come in and discuss my results....so 40 mins of unknown for my PGAL brain to go crazy...they know my history of loss, so I expected them to at least let me know WHAT they were doing even if they couldn't discuss what they found until the dr reviewed it....good news is, heart and everything else look great and so for now I'm done with the high-risk group for good unless my sugars have a problem down the road.
peaseblossom55 - I'm so sorry you are having sciatica pain... it's the worse!!! hope you feel better soon.
sfazar - I'm keeping you in my thoughts this week.
oldbaylover1024 - I didn't want to announce on FB either... To be honest I didn't even want to announce to people around us until we knew the gender. Lucky for me H agreed and understood... The only thing I have on FB is the picture of the cake a friend got for me for the baby shower. Maybe limiting who sees the announcement? I hope you guys can figure that out.
@sarahwithanh - UHUU for 3rd tri!!!!!
frenchteachermama - We're both so close!!! Im sending my preyers your way For a quick delivery and healthy babies!
opheliainwaders - glad to see that everything is going fine!

How far along are you? Week/fruit or vegetable. 37+3 and I saw wintermellon somewhere
How are you feeling (physically and/or emotionally)? Emotionally I'm anxious... Physically, I feel tired and lazy!
Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc? I think we are all set. The only thing we might still need for baby is diapers. (we are doing cloth diapers) and since we didn't get much gifts/help I'm kind of waiting to see if what I have bought is enough.
Upcoming milestones or appointments? Next app tomorrow.
Do you need any thoughts or prayers? Not at the moment, thank you.

Hi all--just a quick update and thanks for the good vibes . We had our ultrasound this AM and I was so happy that my husband could come. By some miracle he had nothing scheduled this morning. We saw the baby measuring right on track due date 4/10 and heartbeat 171. I feel like I can proceed with a lighter heart...thanks again for all of the support in this anxious week! Xoxo
