~Grad Check in~

[kellybenelly83]

Its Tuesday!! My favourite day! Lets see them ladies!

[valie]

My last check in must have been nearly a year ago when DS was still an inside baby. He's bigger now!

deleted photo *poof*

He says "mama" and has started crawling. I adore him.

Can't wait to see the bumps and babies!!

[queenofcats]

Hai, GKU!

I'm 25w6d! I have my 1-hour Glucose Tolerance test tomorrow bright and early. I totally can't wait. I also have a checkup, but I'm actually dreading that more because of my weight gain. Symptom wise I'm doing pretty good. I have Charley Horses still like every night, sometimes two or three times. I've been eating bananas and banana chips, but sometimes it's just not good enough. I'm going to ask the doctor tomorrow what they suggest. Eleanor is growing like a weed. She apparently loves raw jalapenos as I found out last night with a dance party. Cheese gives me heartburn though. What gives, kid? I had some Braxton Hicks on Saturday that freaked me the fuck out. Everything is okay though, although my on call OB answering service can suck it for not validating my feels.

We've made some nursery progress in that we FINALLY moved the computer stuff out of the nursery so we now have space for a crib! Woo! I also got my replacement bookends and can at least start some minor decorating while we wait for the furniture. The crib has been ordered by my ILs and I'm totally pumped! Now I need to work on shower guest lists, which I've been procrastinating on. I can't believe I'm one week from third tri! Ahhh!

As always I'm lurking and rooting for all of you! Love and luck to you all!

Here is my bump. I did a comparison pic this week. Same shirt, different day. Oh and yeah, that's the same bra too. Guess I DID go up 3 cup sizes. Woah.

[mrsrexmanning]

Howdy ho GKU!
37w4d here and waddling like a penguin. My belly legit enters the room like 10 mins before I do. Nothing else exciting going on - I'm just twiddling my thumbs and waiting for baby girl to make her appearance. Hopefully she won't make me wait too much longer.

I miss bunches of you guys!

And here's a bump picture because even I can't believe the berth of this thing.

[tigger]

Hi all little E is growing like crazy and started to babble dadadada and babababa i feel left out where is mamamamama?
She is such a silly girl and I love much of my time being home with her (but there are those moments I question it)
She is wiggling all over the place and rolling around and loves to stand.
Here is a pic for now. I will likely come delete it later.

tigger - her cheeks are off the chain!!

[ashleyinva]

Hi GKU!

37 weeks tomorrow! That's our goal!

I have my last doctor's appointment at 1pm today. Induction is set for Friday night at 37w2d, and if all goes to plan we will have a squish on Saturday. I can't wait to meet him!

I might edit later with a bump picture!

AHHHHHH!!  So close to seeing the little guy!  Here's hoping your appointment goes well and definitely looking forward to seeing your birth story/any pics! <3

[estakis]

Hai Guys! It's been a while since I checked in. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow. We had our NT scan last week, and everything looked normal. We will find out the sex at 19-20 weeks. DH thinks it's a boy, I think our little peanut is a girl. I think DH just wants our kiddo to be the next Peyton Manning. I told him she could be the next Peyton Manning in a women's football league, haha! All is well otherwise, still exhausted all the time. I was hopeful that would start to go away with the start of the second trimester, no luck yet. Always thinking of you all! I hope this photo turns out ok, I'm technologically challenged

I'm sorry, I never post! But Rhys is doing great & getting so big! Well, not big necessarily, but big to me . I think he's finally over 10 lbs. Developmentally, he is normal for his corrected age & ahead verbally (ruh-roh). Here's a pick of my peanut...

[juliayadda]

Eeegads queenofcats, How has the time gone by so fast?

[juliayadda]

hisgirlfriday, aawwwweee Good job Peanut on the growing.

[dorothyzbornak97]

Hi, GKU!

Alex will be six months old on Friday--how is that even possible?!

He's officially saying "mama" now. Sounds great, right? Yeah, except the only time he says it is when he cries/whines. When I imagined my kid saying "mama" for the first time, this is not how I pictured it! :/

In happier news, we tried peas this past weekend, and he's a fan:



Sending lots of love to you all and always rooting for more BFPs!

quoting because I love Rhys pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gah, i love him.

[jefa]

Nothing much happening here. I'm 5 weeks 5days per lmp. God I still can't believe I'm even typing that. I've been fighting a horrible cold for a week now with no end in sight. So pgal brain sometimes rears it's ugly head, but I know there's no real reason for worry.

I'm not so patiently awaiting a viability ultrasound and doctor visit on 4/14. We didn’t have betas drawn this time which is fine with me. My numbers doubled last time, so I don't think it would have eased my mind anyway. I did have a progesterone drawn and I was low so I get to be back on the lovely vag suppositories again. But hey, anything that might help keep this peanut planted is fine with me.

Love seeing all the bumps and babies!!

[TrickyJedi]

Howdy! I'm 14 weeks and 1 day so I am officially out of the 1st trimester!!! Nausea is gone and it's been replaced with heartburn. Whatever, they can try and take my spicy food away from me but it won't be pleasant.

We are going in tomorrow for our monthly check-up, unfortunately it's with the Dr. that I'm not the biggest fan of but since I don't really have any questions or concerns I'm not to worried.

Wednesday's have become my favorite day because of pre-natal yoga. The woman who runs it is a doula and I heart her so bad.

As always lurking and rooting for everyone!!!

[ldubhawksfan]

Hey there GKU. I'm going to do another ridiculously early update (I promise I won't do this every week!!) because we had another US this morning where we saw our little bean measuring on track (6 weeks) with a flickering heartbeat!!!! I'm so relieved that it's not a BO again. I am so happy and in love!!! Other than that, I feel like I need to puke all the time and I'm in bed by 9 pm. So, you know, good!

[whatsit]

Hi everyone!

Measuring at 9w 5d per my ultrasound last week. Got to see and hear the heartbeat... A strong 161 bpm. Baby looked a bit like a ninja turtle at times which made me giggle. I think the ultrasound finally hit H that this is real.

Other than that, I'm doing ok. Nauseous and tired but I'll take it.

Always rooting for you all and I'm always watching. ( cue Roz from monsters inc.).

I will leave you with my darkened ultrasound pic.

[cnf2013]

Am I allowed to play here now? I got my BFP over the weekend and am only 4w2d at the moment. First appointment is scheduled for 4/24 where we'll have our first ultrasound.

This thread just melted my heart. All the beautiful little one's and adorable bumps! So awesome.

Also, ashleyinva, Friday is a great day to be induced. April 3rd is a perfect day for a birthday (Hi hopefully birthday buddy!)

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Hi ladies! I love the bumps and babies! I have a ten month old now...whaaaaat?!? He's nonstop action, eating all the food, toddling along the furniture, and screaming like a maniac. I can't believe he is so old! Time is flying.

Poof!

[mosdub]

Hey GKU, long time no talk! I miss the activity and humor of this board (though I love the Aug15 ladies, not trying to suggest otherwise!)
I haven't been very active on the forums lately though I'm trying to get back into it.
I'm 18w2d! Anatomy scan is in 2 weeks!!! H and I can hardly wait to know if we will be having a boy or girl.
I still haven't felt the flutters/movements and that is something else I am looking forward to in coming weeks.

Bumpity bump (now I know what you all meant by the uterus pushing up belly fat. I know my "actual" bump is barely to my belly button, but the mushy parts are rounding it out!):

[katietopaz]

Hai GKU!! Hooray for the new BFPs and all the bumps and babies!

32w3d here, can't believe that April is tomorrow, which means when people ask when I'm due, I'll be saying "next month." Whaaaaat?! So I freaked out yesterday, went shopping for organizational stuff for the closet and dresser, and started sorting through baby clothes to wash.

We were totally settled on a full name for this LO but realized a couple weeks ago that the initials could be a problem (CNT) so we came up with a new middle name. It took so long to settle on the first one I was bummed to have to go back to the drawing board, but DH warmed up to one of the other MNs I really liked.

Otherwise, just chugging along and thinking about packing the hospital bag maybe soon.

I have everything crossed for you ladies!

Yeah, those initials made do a double take!  Glad you found an alternative MN! 
P.S.  Your top is so cute with your bump!

You're so sweet, thank you! It's from Pink Blush, they have some of the cutest maternity clothes if you haven't checked them out already!

I couldn't believe we didn't think of it sooner, we were sitting on the full name for two months before we realized. I'm glad we haven't been sharing the name at all so we didn't have to "take it back." It was the kind of thing where we debated whether or not it would ever be an issue, but in the end, didn't want to risk it. With our luck, kids would find out in middle school and it would be easy fodder to tease about.

[squeakyduck]

Hi everyone! I just had my first appointment yesterday at 6w2d and we got to see a tiny little heartbeat. It was super exciting. Here's the little blob! 

[icequeen]

Congratulations, y'all! It's always great to see everyone doing well and always know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up the great work!

[daisycat]

Oh hai.

I haven't been on in forever, but I now have a one year old. He's pretty awesome.




Edit to make the first picture slightly less ginomous and add a birthday shot.

[daisycat]

I just realized how obnoxiously huge that picture is. Sorrynotsorry. EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY KID.

[andtheheartbreakers]

Hey GKU! I can't even express how excited I am to see some of the new names posting in this thread!! Huge congrats to all the new(er) BFPs!!!!!

I'm 15 weeks 2 days already! I have the req to schedule my anatomy scan, and am still so shocked that that will be happening in another 3-4 weeks. As much as it seems like this has been dragging on, it also feels like its been flying by!

I'm still feeling pretty sick most of the time, but that's about it. Had a check up last Friday and heart beat is still sounding good and my fundus is already almost at my belly button, so my big belly isn't just in my imagination!

Editing to add a bump picture! (From last week's HDBD)

[divinemsbee]

In about 45 minutes here, I'll be 20 weeks. Half-baked, woohoo!

It's pretty quiet here, I realized I say that a lot, but I've had a decently uneventful time of it. My next doctor's appointment is the 6th, hopefully all will go well. My GD is completely controlled with diet. I'm still 3lbs under my start weight, which is good. I'm getting more exercise, but lightening crotch is becoming real. I haven't felt any really specific movement, yet, but I'm hopeful that it's coming soon. I still look more bloated than pregnant, no bump belly yet.
