[nettje]

Happy April 1st All!!

How far along are you today?


Any symptoms?


Next appointment/milestone?


GTKY: in the spirit of April Fools Day... Have you ever pulled a successful April Fools joke? What was it?

[nettje]

How many weeks: I'm 31 weeks today. Holy shit.

Symptoms: heart burn is killing me these last few nights.... It does t matter what I do or don't eat, I have heartburn.

Appointments/milestones: I've got an appointment today. My repeat c/s was scheduled at my last appointment... Today I need to talk to my doctor about tubal ligation. This is #2 for us and we're done. It's a scary thought.

GTKY: Alas... I suck at pulling off jokes/pranks. I can never keep a straight face. The weather here today is for sure mother natures idea of a cruel prank though... It was sunny and warm for the last little bit and today it's bitter cold, windy and a ton of rain.

I am a Wednesday ticker change but I've never participated in these.

How far along are you today? 28 weeks

Any symptoms? back and pelvic pain, pregnancy brain, etc.

Next appointment/milestone? 28 week appointment tomorrow. Getting my glucose test, rhogram shot, etc. Hopefully they won't say I am anemic again this pregnancy when they get the bloodwork back... the thought of taking iron and possibly getting even more constipated than I already am scares me.

GTKY: I don't remember pulling any April Fool's Day jokes but maybe I did and forgot about it.

Hey Wednesday Ladies!

How far along are you today? 28 weeks today.

Any symptoms? Terrible insomnia lately, like multiple full nights in a row of awakeness, but last night I actually managed a few hours of sleep broken up only by bathroom trips, pillow rearranging, and one weird dream from which I woke up screaming. At this point that is what qualifies as a good nights sleep! Other than that my headache is still hangin out but it is milder and more tolerable than last month, most of the time. Hopefully I continue in that direction!

Next appointment/milestone? 28 week appointment on Friday. Skipping the glucose load because a large quanty of sugar could be a migraine trigger for me, so it will just be a regular checkup. From there I'll go pick up supplies to start checking my levels at home. Not sure exactly what that will entail but I'm strangely excited because it will be something new, and I like new things. I also have a follow up with my neurologist to read the MRI of my brain from last weeks hospital stay, and then my first appointment with the MFM specialist. That is the one Im most looking forward to. He or she will get on track all the different meds and treatments I've been given for this headache the last 2 months, and also do a level 2 ultrasound to make sure everything is on track with LO. Ughhhh I can't wait for that. FX all goes well and I think I will finally have some peace of mind and possibly less anxiety will = some sleep!

GTKY: I grew up with three brothers and they used to pull some pretty classic cheesey ones on each other, or do something mean and creepy to me like put a fake snake under my pillow or spider in my shoe. But a really cute story from this morning shared by my sister in law: My 4 year-old neice woke up and ran down stairs saying Mommy Mommy Santa is here!!! to which she replied Hunny you're a few months off... to which my sassy pants 4 year-old neice replied "April Fool's Mommy!" lol

How far along are you today? 31 weeks!

Any symptoms? Insomnia

Next appointment/milestone? Tomorrow appointment with MFM and April 6 with OB

GTKY: in the spirit of April Fools Day... Have you ever pulled a successful April Fools joke? What was it? nope, I'm not clever enough!

ETA: I had to reschedule my MFM appointment my DS (9 months) has an ear infection and a crazy fever!

28 weeks today!

My heartburn and asthma have been pretty crazy this past week. Hip pain!!!

I have my 28 week appointment on Friday and my 3 hour GT test on Saturday AM. Ugh.

This may be an UO but I haaaate April Fools. I hate pranks.

[sugarbean17]

How far along are you today? 30 weeks

Any symptoms? Moody, tired, pelvic pain, heartburn.

Next appointment/milestone? I had my last appointment with my midwife on Friday, passed my GD test. Had an ultrasound today to make sure baby (only has 2 vessel cord)is growing well. We found out that it is measuring @ 92% for size. Approximately 3lbs 12oz. So we will be having a big baby!

GTKY: in the spirit of April Fools Day... Have you ever pulled a successful April Fools joke? What was it? We don't really do April Fools tricks the kids don't do well with jokes.

28 weeks

Heartburn, exhausted, swollen feet and ankles

I wasn't supposed to go back until the 15th, but my OB decided I needed to begin my every 2 week appointments early. So I had an appointment today to monitor swelling. OB still isn't too concerned (which is good!)

I/we don't do April fools.

I'm posting late, but yesterday marked the start of week 29 for us - woohoo!

I am struggling with major upper back/rib pain and the beginnings of swollen feet when I spend too much time up and about. That 2nd tri energy is also starting to peter out.

Bubba was measuring a little more than a week ahead at our 28-week appointment last Friday, so we shall see how he's doing at the next appointment on Tuesday. His kicking pattern has totally changed since my GTT Monday, so thanks for that massive sugar rush/crash. He's still wiggling up a storm though, so I won't freak out yet. Appointments every two weeks now, so have to try and meet the last couple of midwives in the practice so no "strangers" end up in the delivery room !

My best April Fool's was when I was in engineering school. We used cling wrap to create a vacuum space in a friend's doorway so that when she tugged and pulled to get her door open, it eventually exploded, sending all the junk and packing peanuts we'd stuffed in there right at her. I'm not an engineer now, but totally would be if I could do dumb stuff like that all the time hehe...
