3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Things are good. Baby is getting stronger and I am seeing outside movements more often.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? I received an invite to my baby shower! I am so excited to celebrate!

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? I am making corned beef and cabbage for the first time. Hopefully it turns out good and will become our St. Patty's day tradition.

1. How far along are you? 26 weeks 2 days

2. When is your next appointment? Next Thursday, 02/26

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Not bad at all

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Soooo much movement. My husband was able to feel it for the first time about a week and a half ago and I love that he can feel and see it now! And I just love the reminder that baby girl is always here with me.

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? My mom always cooked corned beef and cabbage and would put green food coloring in our milk. Once I was over 21 we started putting the green food coloring in white wine or champagne instead :-). H and I actually met on St. Patrick's Day in 2007 so I'm particularly fond of it now. We won't be going out or anything but I'll cook corned beef and cabbage and wear green.

1. How far along are you? 28w4d

2. When is your next appointment? Today for a check up and the TDap

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? It's ok. I always get real nervous surrounding appointments. She's moving around quite a bit, but I still get real worried right before appointments. After I hear the heart beat today, I will be much better

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? I too got an invite to my baby shower. I am so excited! We also got our first baby gift.

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? I used to be a bartender, and St. Patricks Day was always such a shit show. I do not like going out on days like St. Patrick's, Cinco de Mayo, etc… We will be staying in. I am making Cornbeef and Cabbage. We're also meeting with our Doula for our first labor practice session.

belle0720, remind me…where did you guys go on your baby moon?

[belle0720]

mrsdee1982 Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. It's a beautiful place! But if I could go back in time, I would have stayed in the states and done something different for our babymoon. There were a lot of things I wasn't allowed to do because I am pregnant, and we had a lot of set backs traveling which were especially not fun for a pregnant lady!

[mrsdee1982]

Aw, that's a bummer Sorry it was a rough trip.

1. How far along are you?
24w6d


2. When is your next appointment?
4/6 for Glucose screening


3. How is PGAL brain treating you?
Nugget is moving so much, I feel pretty good.  Every once in awhile, I feel like I need to scale back my excitement a little bit until I know that this one is really coming home with us.


4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?
Hearing DS (2 years) start talking about baby. He walked into the baby's room yesterday when I was putting something away and he said, "Baby sleep in here." He's actually starting to understand, it makes me happy.


5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? Nope  

[brennaz]

1. How far along are you? 27 weeks exactly (does this mean I'm in third tri??)

2. When is your next appointment? 4/10

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? For the most part, it's okay. I'm still super paranoid about preterm labor, and I'm getting record-setting brush offs from my OBs (read: I haven't seen an OB since, oh, December, I've only seen NPs, who just say they will make a note for the doctor to review). Ugh.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? The alien belly movements. She's getting big enough that I see a lot of movement from outside, and it just makes it more real. I may or may not have recorded more than one of these sessions on my phone...

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? DS and I usually say a quick prayer of thanks for St. Patrick (even though we aren't Catholic), and I always set up leprechaun mischief. This year DS has decided he wants to set up a leprechaun trap using his piggy bank as bait lol. I think I'm going to do a lot of food coloring this year--the milk, the toilet water, and maybe green cookies. I still haven't found the chocolate coins yet, so I don't know if I will be able to do that like usual It's strictly my thing with DS, because it's something my dad always did...DH was purely the "wear green and drink" type (and still is). Oh, and I have my GD test tomorrow morning, after which I fully plan on having something with a lot of bacon.

Hi ladies! I just got back from our babymoon yesterday, glad to see you still did the check-in last week! Yay for your babymoon!!

1. How far along are you?
28w2d

2. When is your next appointment?
Friday! GTT, wheee.

3. How is PGAL brain treating you?
Good, good. I'm just scaring myself by realizing that we may only have 10-ish weeks left. DD arrived at 38w3d. That's a little more than 2months! Eeeeeeps.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?
Doing my cat-cow stretches. It helps move baby boy off my sciatic for a bit.

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans?
Wearing green and I usually make corned beef and cabbage, but DH whined about that this year. So, I'm making Shepard's pie. I guess I can buy some deli counter corned beef to use for runny eggs and hash.

How fun, I can't wait until we can do fun holiday stuff like that with our LO!

Fingers crossed for your GD test tomorrow!

So cute!

1. How far along are you? 24 weeks.

2. When is your next appointment? April 9th.

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Just fine right now, because today is viability day for me!!

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? SEE ABOVE! HELLO V-DAY!

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? Nope, we don't exactly celebrate St. Patrick's day because I usually ignore the date. My mom passed three years ago on the night of the 17th/morning of the 18th, so it's not something I try to pay attention to.

[mrskblack11]

sgarmand, Happy V-DAY!!

1. How far along are you? 26w4d

2. When is your next appointment? GD screening lab on Friday

3. How is PGAL brain treating you? Good with all the kicking and movements

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Gathering up all the necessities, now if only the Navy Exchange would take back their broken nursery furniture and send us the good set.

5. GTKY: Do you have any Saint Patrick's Day traditions or plans? Nope, I usually just wear green and use food coloring for dinner if we have my stepson. But no green clothes that fit or kid to cook for so an uneventful St. Patricks for us.
