It is Tuesday, right? Get in here grads!

[RajahMD]

Show us your bumps and babies!

[queenofcats]

Can I still post here?

E is 7.5 months. She's starting to play on her belly and army crawling and scooting so that's fun. Lots of love to all!

[longhornwino0907]

queenofcats, she's so precious!

@ismellbooks, LOVE those letters you did!


Guise, I go here now!!!! 4w+5 over here, and nothing major to report. Other than my pants don't fit because of all the meds that are causing major bloat. I ordered maternity jeans today. Because I'm sitting at my desk with my pants unbuttoned AND unzipped. Our first u/s is next Friday; can't wait to see how many little ones we have in there and hopefully see a little heartbeat flicker!

[cocobellaf]

19w + 1d. ALMOST HALFWAY.



Had our anatomy scan on Friday. Everything went well. Placenta is still hanging out down by the cervix, so I'm still on restrictions. If I don't have any spotting or bleeding before March 9, I'm cleared to go to San Francisco for our vacation!!

[madamewaffles]

Hello lovelies! 22 weeks today. More and more kicks and rolls happening, but otherwise, nothing really new. MH and I are starting to get the house ready for MiniWaffle and that is quite daunting as we have A LOT of stuff to go through and purge. But we got the bedroom cleaned out and getting ready to repair a hole in the wall that I've previously been covering with a framed photo for the last 2 years (that's right, I'm fuckin' Bob Vila with these skills) and paint before we start assembling baby furniture to move in. you all and lurking like crazy!

[youdontsay]

Hey everybody!!!!!!

I'm 14+1 today. Officially in the second trimester!!!! My morning sickness is getting a lot better so that's good. Um, nothing else really going on. Don't go back to see my gyn until March 10 and anatomy scan is on April 1st!

I told MH we were having a girl, he was "meh" about it. I'm so flipping excited though I don't care how he feels.

Always creepy lurking and rooting for BFPs for everyone!!!!

[TrickyJedi]

Hola! Noah is now 4 months 2 weeks and we think he's the cats pajamas. He had his 4 month appt yesterday and is measuring in at 14.04 lbs and 24 1/4 inches. He also got some really fun shots but he was a rough nugget about it.
He also made a new friend this week. My dads coworkers sheep had a lamb and it needed to be bottle feed so the owner let her bring it in. Here is Nono and the 1 day old lamb..
Love you ladies!

[penguin129]

Hi ladies! Not much to report here. I'm 4 weeks +1. I scheduled my first appointment for 3/25 so we have to wait most of March before we see the newbie. I called 2 separate times requesting my OB to check my thyroid levels and they told me it is normal to not check them until the first appointment. They made it seem if I were having symptoms that they would check them, but I'm not. My SIL who had two successful pregnancies while having hypothyroidism told me they might wait, but I'm still nervous.

In other news... I got the call from our Mortgage Processor yesterday that we indeed have FINAL APPROVAL on our home loan. They will be sending the paperwork out the end of this week. Closing and Moving Day are getting so close

[fuzzylogic]

We are three months today E is growing like a weed, and I think she's starting the teething process. She keeps sucking on her bottom lip and doesn't just gum things, she bites down hard. She's also fussier than normal (she's normally a very easy-going baby) and tries to nap strike but she's really bad at it lol. She's sleeping 8 hour stretches most nights, too, which is pretty great. I wish I didn't have to wake up to pump!

She's also sitting up like a champ, with help, and she laughed her first little giggle on Sunday with my sister. We both both teary-eyed about it.

Here she is this morning, wearing her 6mo sized clothes because she's going to be a literal giant.

[Ray]

Very cool @ismell books! Congrats on the girl youdontsay

AFM:

I am trucking along at 19 weeks. We scored a sweet deal on a change table yesterday and came up with a name! We got the results of the ultrasound back on Thursday and baby Flint is doing really well. The radiologist said that although I've stabilized, the subchorionic bleed hasn't improved at all even though I've had no external bleeding, so another 4 weeks of bedrest and then we will re-evaluate with another ultrasound then. I've also been switched over to the OB early So he can monitor how I'm doing.

Last but not least, thank you to every one who mentioned that my headaches/ice cravings could be a sign of low iron. Turns out I am anemic so I've been put on iron supplements to help with that too

Miss you lots! I am LOVING the BFPs and re-intros I've been seeing this week!!

[kelle017]

Mallory was a month yesterday.

I attempted to get her weight by weighing myself holding her and than not holding her and there was a 10.6 lb difference. A week and a half ago she was 8 lb 6 oz so that's a big gain!

Still having a lot of gas issues but her doc thinks it's less what I'm eating and just what she is, although I still am careful with what I'm eating.

She's starting to grip toys a little better.

At night she goes 3-4 hours between feeds.

Eleanor loves her and I'm thankfully there hasn't been any jealousy issues yet.

Hey Guise!!

I'm sitting over here bouncing with anticipation at 38 weeks; 6 days! At my last appointment, doc was like "I'll see you at your appointment next week.. if not before then. I'm just waiting for your middle of the night phone call..."

Come on, Baby Pugs! I just can't wait to meet the little guy (although I obviously want him to cook as long as he needs - no castor oil here!).

Everything is done so I just sit and twiddle my thumbs. Last night I woke up with a ton of energy and just cleaned the house from top to bottom (again) because there was nothing else that I could do to satisfy my nesting urge. This is definitely the cleanest my house has ever consistently been (and ever will be).

I'm doing my absolute best not to be too symptom spotty, to remain positive and upbeat, and remember that little guy will come just as soon as he decides he's ready - and not a moment sooner! Some days I'm better at that than others.

We finished the nursery! I sneak peeked it here a few weeks ago, but I'm totes going to AW it again now that it's all done. Mr. Pugs did everything - the only thing I can actually take credit for is the rug - which you can't even see in these photos. MH is going to be such a great daddy, y'all. Every day he holds my belly and whispers "I just can't wait to meet you."

Okay I have to stahp before I start getting emotional. Again. Hormones are no joke, you guys.




We also went to a fancy Awards Gala this past weekend... Here are a couple pics of what will be the last time we are legit dressed up for awhile, I'd imagine...





PDQ pics.

Love you ALL! Also loving all the re-intros and that the board seems to be hopping again. I want to play and will probably start butting my nose in again very very soon. :-P

ALSO! Someone may want to tag SheilaTheTank to this thread... Just saying.

Yay!!! I think the few things I need to gather now will be the last of it and we'll be done with getting our loan. I hope. I feel like I just send over the same stuff over and over.

[jags8]

Hello hello! I'm currently 34w2d, and writing to you from my IL's hot tub (we are house/dog-sitting). I've had awful awful back cramps for about 4 hours now, and they were making me nauseous, so I left work to relax. The warm water and bubbles are helping to take the edge off.

Not too much going on, Baby and I are healthy and growing properly. The nursery is basically all done except for the crib (which we don't need rightthissecond anyway because Baby will be in a bassinet in our room for a while). Last weekend I washed and folded all the newborn and 0-3 clothes! It made me really happy holding each tiny onesie!

Now I'm just counting down the days until April. Crazy to think I have a maximum of 54 days until I get to hold my very own outside squish.

[nerdykitten]

Hello everyone! it is great to see some new faces on this thread this week.

I am sitting at 27w5d. At my appointment last week everything looked really good and the doctors are feeling pretty positive about making it to at least 30 weeks with the triplets at this point. We started tackling the nursery this weekend, but didn't get nearly as much done as we had hoped due to the vinyl wallpaper border being an absolute nightmare to remove. During the week I need to start washing and hanging/folding all the clothing since I will have outside babies in three to eight weeks.

[caz1221]

All the bumps and babies are so cute! I refuse to photograph my blump at this point, but now that I've officially hit double digits, I'm going to jump in. I'm 10 weeks today and had my first appointment last week - we confirmed there's just one bean, and s/he seems to be doing great. I'm still battling some nausea and exhaustion, but I'm hopeful things will get better once 2nd tri hits (or sooner). I'm constantly lurking for updates and more BFPs!

[teraiin]

Hi GKU! 29w4d and hanging in there. The fact that I'm closing in on week 30 has me freaking out. How am I this far?! I still have a million things to do.

I'm feeling pretty good, lots of movement. I have no idea what way the baby is currently facing but I'm not going to worry until the midwife tells me to worry.

The big news this week is I am SLING FREE. I had an appointment yesterday with an orthopedic specialist for my shoulder. It was mostly good news, with a little uncertainty.

But of course my third tri isn't without some bumps.

Last week my dad had a mild heart attack. Fortunately he is now home recovering. He was extremely lucky. He had a few stents put in and some new meds. Now he's bummed because he needs to follow up with a cardiologist.

I'm hoping that the next ~10 weeks are smoother sailing!

So pumped about the recent BFPs and nice to see the re-intros and the board hopping again.

[onesweetworld]

Need pictures SheilaTheTank.


Also want a update from kellybenelly83

Don't worry. Weeks 30-40 actually exist in some other universe or something and last at least twice as long.

Glad you're out of the sling.

I'd say 'what a relief!' but I'm sure I'd be eating those words as i get further along.

Hi GKU! Lovely to check in all of you friends.

I am 25w1d. Third trimester is way too close, and I am starting to slightly panic that we are not going to be ready for this kid. We have chosen a name, and it feels so good to refer to him by it (although I still tenderly call him bean or spawn every once in a while). I am in the process of checking my sugar levels after every meal for a week, which I opted to do in lieu of doing the 3 hour glucose test again. So far it is not as horrible as I imagined. I have my follow up appointment next week, and then in April I start being seen every 2 weeks. Holy shiz. Thank you for letting us have this space to update everyone and for allowing us to come back and play in other threads. Miss you all terribly.



(editing to add bump shot from tapatalk and to fix words, words are hard)

[onesweetworld]

Love that little coffee bean Andrea!

[risscaboobs]

Hai!!! Lexi bug is 3 1/2 months now and is as adorable as can be. She is still adjusting to daycare, but it's slowly getting better for her. I wish I could stay at home with her.

She is all smiles, is starting to try to roll over, and liked to talk to us. I'm still waiting for that first laugh!





Eta: I always get trigger happy after I add the photos and post too soon.

I've started posting here again more (yay!) with more of the old grads coming back, and I hope to see more and more bfps!!!

[penguin129]

thelittleredm I'm glad to hear things are moving along with your loan. Your closing is coming up so fast! I hope the bank is satisfied with what you've given them and leaves you alone other than to tell you the loan is final.
Ray Sorry you are still on bed rest. I'm glad you are being transferred to the OB sooner.
teraiin Yay for no more sling

[ugotstarbucked]

Hai! Eloise is 5.5 months old. She has moved to her crib at night and seems to be doing pretty well with the transition. I miss having her close but it's nice to have my room back at the same time. We tried solids last weekend for the first time - sweet potatoes and baby oatmeal (not at the same time). She spat it out but didn't seem to mind the taste. I don't think she could figure out what to do with the food once it was in her mouth.

I'm probably not going to do an intro, we're not TFAS anytime soon, but I may start popping into threads over here now and again. I've been around since May 2014. Looking forward to getting to know some new faces.
