[littleheaven]

1. How many weeks? 30 i think? 31?

2. Team pink blue or green? green! we both had strong girl feelings this time last time, but now, we have no idea...

3. Current complaints? everything...i am so done with this pregnancy....out of breath...tired....slow....hard to get off of the couch...my blood pressure is high...boo

4. Current aws? i wish i had some....nothing really...i mean soph is saying more and more things....

5. How is your older lo(s) doing? she's a pain in my...i love her so much! can't wait to have more than one! i wish she understood what was going on...i say where is baby and she knows it's in my belly....and if i ask if it's girl or boy, she says girl baby....i'm honestly nervous about bringing baby home...maybe she'll surprise me...lately she's been all my mommy my daddy and day care says she's been whining for us during the day

6. Are you doing anything differently this time compared to your jan13 pregnancy? almost everything....coffee, diet pepsi every now and again....last time i went to my endo all the time for my thyroid, not this time...

littleheaven I hope your BP comes down a bit so you can keep baby on the inside longer. Thinking of you!

TheEleventhHour,  thanks...i'm actually ok with 37 or 38 weeks....sophia was a scheduled c section at 38 weeks due to high bp (and still not sure if i really had pre-e or not, or almost did) and she was frank breach...and was/is perfectly healthy for being 38 weeks....

[michieu129]

1. How many weeks? 31 weeks

2. Team pink blue or green? Team blue

3. Current complaints? I am tired. And I have some serious silent acid reflux/heartburn issues going on now.

4. Current aws? This baby moves so much-I love feeling and seeing him wiggle around in there.

5. How is your older lo(s) doing? Jack is a crazy man right now. He is just sleep deprived from this bed situation and its turning him into a very evil child. I am scared this will stay around for Adam's birth and that I will go crazy.

6. Are you doing anything differently this time compared to your jan13 pregnancy? Not really. I don't get out and walk as much as I did when I was pregnant with Jack though. being so pregnant in the winter and with Jack, I can't walk the dog anymore. Too much ice and snow. So I feel like I am turning into jello.

7. Edd? May 2nd. Though I have a feeling it will happen earlier. They tried to induce Jack at 37wks 4 days and I had a c-section at exactly 38 weeks because of low fluid and failure to induce. I am not sure I will make it again if my fluid runs low naturally every pregnancy.

littleheaven, Oh yikes! You started the NSTs already? That sucks. Sorry.
I am starting them at 36 weeks and am a mess. I want to try for a vbac but I feel like these NSTs are sealing my fate for another c-section.
I know its not the worst thing in the world. But it sucks all the same. (so do the weekly doc visits!)

[ohiodoxiemama08]

It's been a while since we've had a check in. Let's hear how you are all doing!

1. How many weeks? 24

2. Team pink blue or green? Green!

3. Current complaints? My hips and back hurt, my boobs are out of control--bras are not my friend! And heartburn. And I miss wine. Man, I'm a whiner.

4. Current aws? Baby kicks getting stronger! We have to go in for a follow up ultrasound at the end of the month to check on the progress of cord insertion. The cord is currently in the membranes not fully in the placenta do that may cause some issues with delivery if it doesn't insert farther. Plus there is a choroid plexus cyst they're keeping an eye. So I could use T&Ps for a good outcome of that scan!

5. How is your older lo(s) doing? Fine other than nap striking! She loves babies so I hope she loves her little brother or sister. However I asked her if she wanted to feel baby kicks today and she had no interest!

6. Are you doing anything differently this time compared to your jan13 pregnancy? Drinking more caffeine, a lot more tired, going way faster!

7. Edd? June 23rd

[TheEleventhHour]

ohiodoxiemama08 FX that scan goes well!!!

I'm ok with the nsts....started around 33-34 weeks with soph bc of the high bp...they're just boring... and like last time I have to hold it in place to record the bp....only diff is this one moves more......last time they always had to give me ginger ale and crackers....

[chilibeansm0m]

ohiodoxiemama08 and littleheaven thinking of you both. I cannot frickin believe we are so close!

[flmama622]

@lottleheaven ohiodoxiemama08 Good luck, thinking of you guys.

chilibeansm0m So close!!

[michieu129]

ohiodoxiemama08,
You are in my thoughts for a great scan!!

[talkativ15]

All you ladies are getting so close!! Im so excited!!! Lol I already miss the newborn nugget stage! My 5 month old is too old! He won't slow down on that growing up nonsense!

[sep509bride]

Kind of late to the party, but here you go!

1. How many weeks? 23 1/2

2. Team pink blue or green? Team Pink

3. Current complaints? Everything feels like it takes so much effort, and I am tired all the time. It's not as bad as the first trimester, but definitely still a challenge. I get out of breath with any moderate activity, especially stairs, and I don't remember it being this way with DD1.

4. Current aws? I think we are officially settled on a name! Now I just hope I don't get tired of it in the next 17 weeks...

5. How is your older lo(s) doing? Ugh. If I answered this question yesterday I would have said awesome, but today DD is all sorts of crazy and acts like she doesn't hear me when I'm talking to her. But she did go to bed well tonight, so that was pretty great. Otherwise, she is definitely excited about the baby, but she's also been very bossy and demanding lately, so I'm kind of nervous for what kind of behaviors a new baby will bring out.

6. Are you doing anything differently this time compared to your jan13 pregnancy? Eating more junk food, if that's even possible. I'm a bottomless pit, and all I want is icecream, cookies, and cake. Also gaining a little more weight this time around, I wonder why that would be...

7. Edd? July 3rd

[tarheelmom]

Hi - this is my first time on this check-in. Yikes - doesn't seem real yet!

1. How many weeks? 5 weeks today

2. Team pink blue or green? We will be either pink or blue - DH is a planner

3. Current complaints? Just hungry/thirsty and tired (insomnia already!)

4. Current aws? We were on the fence about being OAD, but decided not to prevent while on vacation a few weeks ago. Kind of neat to have a vacation baby on the way! Guess I'm off the fence now TheEleventhHour

5. How is your older lo(s) doing? So far she is clueless, but LOVES babies, so I expect she will try to lay claim to the new baby.

6. Are you doing anything differently this time compared to your jan13 pregnancy? Just trying to take each day as it comes and hope that this baby sticks.

7. Edd? 11/13

I've been sitting on it for a couple of months because I wanted to be sure we were both on board and it wasn't just a fleeting feeling ... I will probably mention it this week on OAD but obviously stick around there until I am KTFU
