Grad Check-in!

[kellybenelly83]

I guess I can actually update with something this time!
I am 5 weeks 4 days. Yesterday I had my u/s and lets just say, this baby had DAD's sense of direction, that little sucker was IN the uterus this time! Yay!

The technician said she could see the sac and yolk sac, but no fetal pole yet, she did say that was normal at this stage. We go back in 2 weeks and hopefully we will see a nice strong heartbeat and then we can move forward. Besides yesterday's roller coaster of emotions, all is going well. I'm so tired all the time, I was in bed by 9 last night. I am feeling not so hot in moments and downright terrible in others, I'll take it all with a smile!

I remembered this week! I had my ultrasound on Friday. One baby with a little beating heart. The tech estimated by edd to be 2/1 which would line up with when I thought I initally ovulated (based on cm & + opk) instead of 2 days later going by ff.

But I'm not really going to change my edd yet until I talk to my ob. Going off my lmp it's 1/30. It's all pretty close and it won't matter to much. I might ask for a few days if they try to scheduled a repeat c-section or something like that.

I'm going to call today to set up my next appt.

Feeling nauseous and exhausted but my 20 month old wakes up in the motn and so early so that plays into it.

Hey GKU!

I'm 36w6d and can't believe I'll be early term tomorrow! At our last visit this past Wednesday I had no dilation and I was 30% effaced, but I have another visit tomorrow and we will see if there is any progress. I know she'll come when she's ready, but I do hope to see a little progress if only to let my mind know she will come out eventually. We are both doing well, she's been dropping and then raising and dropping again. I wish she'd make up her mind. She's a stinker, that's for sure.

We got our car seat and bases inspected today and we are all set! Everything is looking good and I'm hoping to finish the nursery this week. Maybe I'll have pictures to share next week *crosses fingers*. We have everything we need and are just playing the waiting game!

Always lurking and wishing you all the best!

Bump time! I did a comparison shot this week, bump at 17 weeks versus bump today at almost 37.

[risscaboobs]

Popping in really quick to say everything is going okay here. 17w4d and can't believe it's going so fast! A/S is next week on 6/24, and we can't wait to find out what our little munchkin is! We already got our genetic screening results back and know that baby is healthy.

I've been watching the board for BFPs and stalking the TWW thread. Love and luck to all of you lovely ladies!

[awkwardturtle]

Happy for all of you ladies! risscaboobs, it feels like you just left, how are you already 17 weeks?

queenofcats, you look great! Not too much longer!

[whatsit]

I'll play today. I'm 20w 5d ( what?!) and doing well. Been feeling kicks the last couple weeks and go in for a/s tomorrow. Team green but excited to see this LO look less like a gummi bear than at 9 weeks.

I'll be back next week to share pics- stay tuned.
Love to you all.

queenofcats,I can't believe you are almost 37 weeks already. I was still brand spanking new on TD when you got your BFP.
It's so wonderful to see updates from you and the other ladies.

[ldubhawksfan]

Hey there GKU! I'll do a quick checkin, but no bump pic because I feel like it hasn't grown at all!!!! I'm 17w today! I got to see the wee one last week at my appointment which really helped with my loss brain. Now we are waiting for the AS in 3 weeks!! I'm just feeling tired all the time and finally starting to get brave enough to start looking at nursery things!

[teambrink]

I'll play today too. The anatomy scan was yesterday at 20 weeks and 1day and we have a healthy baby girl. I'm wishing that so called second trimester burst of energy would arrive any day, but other than that I really can't complain.

[butlerfan]

Yeah Grad Check in-my favorite thread of the week.

[sully326]

Hey there, GKU!

Well, on Friday, June 12th at 1:08pm, we welcomed Miss A.vaya C.aroline into the world via scheduled RCS. She was 8lbs 3oz & 20 1/2 inches of pure perfection.

I was terrified of having an RCS because my last c-section was traumatizing to say the least. This time has been so much better. It's really been like night & day between the two. We got to come home on Sunday since both myself and the baby were doing so well. I was soooo happy because Monday was my DS' 5th Birthday! He was so excited that he "got his sister for his Birthday". He's been incredible with her and all he wants to do it help. He's offocally named himself the "big helper". I was worried about him not being so happy about her when she actually got here but so far that hasn't been the case. All he wants to do is hold her and kiss her. He tells her constantly that she's beautiful & he loves her...watching them together completely melts my heart!

So far life at home has been an easy adjustment but DH goes back to work tomorrow & I'm a little nervous. Good thing is, he owns his own business and makes his own hours so if I were to really need him, coming home would be possible. We'll see how it goes but I have a feeling that my "big helper" will make things easier for me! :-)

I really can't believe I had another baby. After 3 years of hell trying to have another baby, she's finally here, & it's so surreal. I finally have my miracle rainbow baby! :-)

Congratulations sully326, she's so beautiful!

[risscaboobs]

sully326 - she's perfect!!! Congratulations! I'm so glad your C-section wasn't so terrible this time. And your daughter and son are adorable!

[themrsjrd]

Good morning lovelies.. I'm half baked today! Definitely feeling little dude moving all the time now and last night my husband laid his head on my belly and got several good kicks to the face lol. I laughed every time which made the baby kick even more!! It was awesome, first time he really felt him kick (he couldn't feel it by just putting his hand on my belly).

Well no pic today, maybe next week. As always, I'm being a creeper and lurking all your threads for more BFFPs!!

[themrsjrd]

sully326, congratulations on your beautiful little girl!! I'm so glad you had a better CS experience this time too.

[ldubhawksfan]

Congrats sully326!!!

[kelle017]

sully326, She's gorgeous!

[butlerfan]

Congrats sully326. She is precious and glad big brother is being a big helper.

[ceejay]

Congrats, sully326! She's beautiful!

[kawaiikitsune]

sully326 - She is gorgeous! So glad your RCS went well and you can enjoy your DS and rainbow bonding!

Hai GKU!

I am 27w6d today. I cannot believe how fast time seems to be flying by it really feels like just yesterday that I got my BFP. Since my diagnosis of GD I have started insulin and I am adjusting to injecting myself several times a day. I can honestly say that it is not as bad as I imagined it being, it is harder not being able to eat a giant bowl of ice cream as a snack than actually injecting myself. Other than that this little squish is doing great and kicking up a storm inside my ute.

As always rooting for all of your bfps!

[divinemsbee]

I refuse to believe it is possible that I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow. When did that happen?

All's well here, we have all of the furniture, minus the eventual glider, for the baby's room, so it's all sitting here in boxes. It sucks that we can't put anything together for another 4 weeks, until we get moved into the new house.

Baby's doing well, lots of movement. She gets quiet when H puts his hand on my stomach, though, so I'm hoping that he can feel her more. Still no name, I feel like we're never going to just sit down and make the decision, but naming a human is hard.

[Sparkly]

Congratulations sully326, she's beautiful!

Since I'm here... 10 weeks and 4 days along.

I had basically the worst day of my pregnant life (if not my life...) yesterday. I had to pull over on the side of the road to vomit, and had DD in the car. There was really nowhere appropriate so I did the best I could... then my little POS compact car got stuck in the mud, and trying to get it out just made it worse. I called DH but someone else called the cops and they got there first. At first I think they thought I was intoxicated, but he believed me once I explained the situation (while crying hysterically and fearing I would projectile vomit again), and eventually they called a wrecker to get us out. Thank goodness DH did get there and then take DD to the nanny and me home to change (yes, I threw up on myself some during this whole ordeal). So incredibly embarrassing all around, but I am thankful things were not worse. I hate being this sick and feeling like I can't function in my normal life.

Other than that, I'm extremely tired and have been having a lot of headaches. I came down with a cold last night, to add insult to injury, and DD who HAD been STTN is teething again and fighting the same cold, so we've been getting 3-4AM wake up calls and that's not helping the exhaustion. It's been a rough few days in the Sparkly household.

I'm also huge already. I knew I'd show sooner with #2, but this is ridiculous. I feel like a blimp. Here's bloat baby to prove it (10w2d):



I hope all is well over here! I am loving the new Preggly board where I can connect with other grads not on my BMB and I HOPE to see ALL of you over there very soon!

[kawaiikitsune]

Sparkly - I'm sorry yesterday was so bad, that situation just sounds awful. *hugs*

Thank you! At the end of the day, I was mostly embarrassed, especially with the police involved.

I am feeling much better (aside from the cold) today, and DH may start driving DD in the morning just because I have such a hard time at that time of day.

Glad today has you feeling better, minus the cold.

I remembered this week!

I'll be 27 weeks on Thursday and I don't remember if that's officially 3rd Tri or not but I'm going with it. Here's a picture of me from last week since I worked really hard coloring it.



Sending hugs to y'all and hoping for BFPs!!

[laurenlou83]

Hiii GKU!! I remembered today!!

Our little guy will be 3 weeks this Thursday, and Thursday was also my EDD! It's now hard to remember what life was like before him.
He hates diaper changes and baths, but loves cuddling, eating and his Rock n Play. I'm a little sleep deprived, but his cuteness makes it all okay! Ha. DH has been a rock star dad so far, which had made it all a little easier, too.

Here is a picture of the amazing little guy, I haven't shared one yet!
