Due Date? 8/9/15

Appointments/Updates? Appointment next Thursday and then switching to every week appointments. Nothing to update.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Ever since Lilly's birthday party this weekend, my hip pain has increased 10x. I definitely overdid it. It's nice that the hip/back pain held off this long. It started much earlier with Lilly.

Rant: We still can't settle on a girl name. We have been throwing one around for a while that is a bit out-there, but we liked it. Our family found it out on Saturday and tore it apart. Back to the drawing board I guess.

I can't wait to watch Major Payne with my pre-teen kids. Same with The Goonies.

How far along are you? 12 weeks and change

Due Date? January 10

Appointments/Updates? Had my appointment yesterday and heard the heartbeat with a doppler. Such good sound

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? I thought you were supposed to have to pee less in the second trip... not true

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future Los?Any and all of the Disney and Pixar movies, especially Lion King, Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo!

How far along are you? 8 weeks

Due Date? 2/5

Appointments/Updates? Not until July 24th

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty gross at this point, both in terms of nausea and in terms of looking generally lumpy but far from obviously pregnant. On the upside, my in-laws are visiting, and it was nice to be able to tell them in person--they're super excited.

GTKY: The Princess Bride

Due Date? 10/17

Appointments/Updates? Ultrasound on July 13th, OB appointment on July 21st. I need to take my glucose test sometime between July 11th and the 25th.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. A little overwhelmed with a few life changes going on, but luckily they are good changes. I just suck at change. Baby boy is moving a lot more. I love watching him move my stomach. My favorite part of pregnancy.

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? I love Disney movies, and E has already watched quiet a few with me. Right now she loves The Lion King. I can't think of a specific one I will wait to watch with her.

How far along are you? 31 weeks

Due Date? 8/27

Appointments/Updates? Appt. next Thursday. Passed my GDT and the doctor said the fluid levels around his kidneys were within the parameters, so that's nice to know.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? This is going to sound bad but I'm sick of the baby hiccups. They were so cute in the first pregnancy, this time they keep coming when I'm trying to go to sleep or something (among other normal times). Feeling like I need to cook like a mad woman. We bought a small chest freezer so I could do freezer meals a couple weeks ago and it's already full. DH looked in it last night and said I should probably stop cooking, but I don't know if I can! It feels like a sickness. I'm thinking this is my form of nesting since I have no room to decorate.

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? Hmmmm...maybe Sound of Music? I was obsessed with it in first and second grade. We'll fast forward the boring songs, though.

[PSNLS]

How far along are you? 32 weeks

Due Date? August 22

Appointments/Updates? I have a check-up tomorrow afternoon. All of my previous appointments have been in the morning. This one is at 2:45. To be honest, I'm nervous about my weigh-in. I think I've gained 5+ lb in 2 weeks. It may even be more since my appointment is later in the day.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? I'm feeling gross. See my note above, plus my face is puffy, I'm breaking out, my ankles swell every couple days, my back hurts and I'm in a pissy mood.

We had G's 2nd birthday party on Sunday. It did not go as planned and led to a lot of drama. To summarize... We were supposed to go to the local kids amusement park and have a small cookout/picnic with my family and some cousins (my ILs refused to come). My family drove 3 hours to the park on Sunday morning. When we met them in the parking lot, the weather was drizzly but MH and I were prepared for the day. My family said they didn't want to go into the park because of the on/off drizzle and instead, they wanted to come to our house to have a cookout. MH and I didn't want to piss off everyone and say "We still want to go in because this is G's favorite place and what we have been planning on", so we agreed to go back to our house. We were in no way prepared to host a party at our house. I made my family help to clean, wash dishes and vacuum. We ended up having a lot more people at our house than we wanted (family who weren't originally invited, heard about our cookout and invited themselves over). G had a great time and I think everyone else did too. But MH and I are still pissed about the extra stress and change of plans. Now we are stuck with 6 extra tickets to the amusement park.

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? G has started watching short clips of Finding Nemo and Cars. I loved The Little Mermaid and can't wait to watch it with my little girl.

[melohdy]

PSNLS Nemo is one of Lilly's favorites right now. She gets some ipad time while I am getting ready in the morning and always opens up the YouTube Kids app to Nemo (or Tinkerbells)

[alark]

How far along are you? 24 weeks

Due Date? Oct 17

Appointments/Updates? Appointment today went well, nothing much to report. Ultrasound next Friday to follow up on our last one. Scheduled the next appt for the end of the month - glucose test #2!

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Feeling good. At my last ultrasound they told me to completely cut out caffeine - including chocolate - and now all I want is a Coke, chocolate, and/or (decaf) iced coffee.

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? We always watched The Chipmunk Adventure and Three Men and a Baby at my grandparents' growing up - love both. we brought both on our road trip last summer so E has seen them, but it'll be cool to see what she thinks of them as she gets older.

[musicalsilver]

How far along are you? 7 weeks.

Due Date? Feb 15. For now.

Appointments/Updates? Not yet. Dating ultrasound on Monday, so I'll get my "official" due date.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Good! Seriously tired and I've had a case of feeling pretty gross and generally "blah" in the afternoons, but so far no genuinely pukey feelings, which is better than last time around!

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? I'm with germaphobe on this one. Most things Disney and Pixar.

Due Date? 10/19

Appointments/Updates? Appointment this Thursday.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Rants: heartburn showed up like an unwanted relative. It's going to be here for months.
Still puking in the morning without Zofran.

Raves: the baby is active most days and I love that reassurance that everything is moving forward.

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs?
Well right now I am waiting for him to be able to sit through a movie and then I have Cars ready to go because he will love it. (But that is not from my childhood).

From my childhood I can't think of any... Maybe Lion King or Beauty and the Beast.

How far along are you? 26 weeks

Due Date? Sep 25

Appointments/Updates? Appointment next week

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? I feel a constant pinching sensation in my right thigh and/or butt area. Sciatica pain?

GTKY: I guess Disney movies? I'm not a huge fan of watching movies at home. But I do remember watching Disney movies with my cousins.

[huckleberry08]

How far along are you? 23 weeks

Due Date? Still Oct 24. That has been consistent at all my ultrasounds.


Appointments/Updates? Next appointment is July 13 for a repeat Level II ultrasound to check LO's kidneys. I will be taking 2 plane trips shortly after that so I will be glad for the check-in. No doc again til the 30th when I will get my TDaP and GTT.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Kind of bad, honestly. Bloated, lots of Braxton Hicks, ligament pain so bad I have a hard time exercising, which is contributing to weight gain. Can't sleep. I drink lots of water and hope for the best. My belly is huge.

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? Hmm. Disney's Robin Hood, probably.

[huckleberry08]

moosemug I am glad his kidneys look good!

PSNLS I hear ya on the feeling like crap thing. I am sorry about all the party drama and glad your family helped out. Do the park tickets expire?

peachey Heartburns succccks. You have all my sorries.

alark Why did you have to cut out caffeine? That would be really hard for me...

[PSNLS]

huckleberry08 The tickets can be used through the end of the season in September. MH has a season pass and G gets in for free. I can tag along on certain days for free or a discounted rate with my husband's pass. We will probably end up selling the tickets to our friends or cousins.

[smittie]

Is it okay if I announce here? I am more lurker than poster, so I didn't feel right creating an AW post all to myself. But I am beyond excited to be here!

We had to use IVF to conceive DD due to DH's MFI due to thyroid cancer and subsequent radiation. Thought for sure we'd have to go that route again, but after almost 10 months of IF fails and a loss, we got pregnant on our own!

How far along are you? 6 weeks

Due Date? 2/24/16

Appointments/Updates? Went in for an early ultrasound last week to verify pregnancy wasn't ectopic due to our IF history and a cautious doc. Too early to see the heartbeat, but we saw a perfectly measuring gestational sac. We go back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Crampy everyday and tired. But just so stinking happy to be here!

GTKY: Favorite childhood movie that you can't wait to share with your current/future LOs? The Little Mermaid and Milo & Otis

Congrats!  Join kh59 and I in Feb16!!

[kames12]

Congrats smittie!

[ordinaryme]

Congrats smittie!!

[huckleberry08]

Congratulations smittie! Wonderful news!

[alark]

huckleberry08, they noticed a slight arrhythmia at our Level II ultrasound a couple weeks ago - nothing consistent, the heartbeat will be normal for a long time, have a skip, then back to normal. Since one of the causes of this *can* be caffeine they told me to cut it out to be safe. This is something that can correct itself and isn't something you really worry about. We'll see what shows up at our follow up next week! Cutting out caffeine completely is SO hard!

[huckleberry08]

I bet alark. Hope next week's scan gives you the all clear!
