Tuesday Grad Check-In

[acorn99]

Thanks for the tag littlelion!

I will be 23 weeks tomorrow with little girl acorn, and we have officially hit oh, shit territory of unprepared-ness. We just started cleaning out our extra room to move DS in to and have a lot to do to get it ready to be his big boy room. One exciting thing in preparation for the summer is that H decided we need central air up in hurr, so I look forward to a comfortable house while being home this summer.

Otherwise, things are pretty quiet. It has been very uneventful to date, which is just what I was hoping for. FX it stays that way for another 17ish weeks.

I lurk like crazy over here and am always rooting for more BFPs!!

I probably will. I don't see me changing my mind quite yet.

adorebel !!! Congrats!!! Isabel is a stunner. You did great! I'm melting from happiness over here for you, my dear. There is only one gif appropriate for this moment:


I had a feeling she was coming! I stalked you this weekend because I just had a hunch I'd get an update. I hoped your silence meant you were delivering at that moment and you were! (And did you get your champagne yet!?)

You read my uterus! My doctor psyched me out last week by telling me I was riding high with no dilation or effacement, so I was really starting to prepare for another 3 weeks of winter pregnancy... I was shocked to go into labor at 39 weeks!

And YES, we had lots of visitors yesterday, and some of them are friends who own a wine shop. They brought sushi, tulips, and champagne for dinner. It was awesome!

Hello GKU. I am 28+5, but this has been a really rough week. I was rear ended on my way to work yesterday so my morning was spent in L&D and ER for monitoring. The triplets are fine and I have a neck and back sprain as well as a possible mild concussion, but no one felt doing a scan to check was safe. So needless to say that yesterday and today have not been pleasant, but the triplets are moving around tons so that is a plus. I also now know what BH contractions feel like since I hadn't had any before the accident.

The crappy thing is my husband spent the day worry about me and taking care of insurance stuff instead of being able to work on the nursery as planned so we are still way behind schedule. We see our OB and MFM tomorrow so hopefully everything still looks good.

Glad you and the triplets are okay nerdykitten!

Hope you both feel better kaliRN and mugster

[shadesofgold]

Too many scares this week! No bueno! kaliRN, mugster & nerdykitten, I'm so sorry that you had some terrible luck but I'm glad the babies are sitting tight!

And Congrats, by the way, kaliRN! I missed your BFP. So exciting!

[penguin129]

nerdykitten I'm glad you and the babies are safe.

[piccyami]

I guess I go here. I'm 7weeks 2 days with twins! We're so excited. I've been battling nausea and indigestion the past couple weeks. I'm also totally exhausted. That's OK because these guys look awesome. We have another ultrasound tomorrow morning to check on them.

[penguin129]

Yay! Congrats on your twins piccyami

[housecarder]

Thanks for the tag littlelion!

Not much to report here. 22 weeks tomorrow! We tour the hospital next week and have a fetal echo on the 16th.

I caught an awful cold and have been having a hard time taking a deep breath. But my nausea is starting to slow at least.

Loving all the babies and always stalking you ladies!

Eta: my gigantic bump compared to right before I had DS. I swear there is no more room.

[LadyNymeria]

I'm glad to hear the triplets are doing ok after the accident nerdykitten. I hope you heal up quick.

Congrats piccyami!!!

[bighair12]

Nothing new to report for me. I will be 23 weeks on Thursday. I will hopefully have my next ultrasound at the end of the month to see how far along the accreta has progressed. I am ready for more answers and ready to know mentally prepare for a NICU baby and hysterectomy. One good piece of news is that school will let me graduate on time with my masters even if I can't attend the last two weeks.

Hi GKU!
I love all the adorable babies and bumps this week! Hugs to all those who've been dealing with scary stuff in the hospital, glad to hear you're ok now.

I'm getting really excited this week. Time is flying by. I'm 23w5d today.

We had an appointment where my OB said that the baby's kidneys were borderline too big, so they're going to monitor that. I've been relatively good about not panicking and staying away from dr Google, because my OB said she wasn't worried---but it wasn't the "he's perfect" I wanted to hear.

I spent Sunday going through 10 boxes of hand me down clothes and sorting them (and I've been doing laundry ever since.) There are still about 10 more boxes to go-so so lucky to have family with little ones who thought to save stuff for us!

Here's my bump this week:




Sending all the positive vibes for more BFPs!! Keep em coming!!

Lady, you know l miss you like crazy! Hope you are recuperating! Xo

Hi everyone! Little Artie is a little over 2.5 months old and the calmest, sweetest baby. The only time he fusses is if he is wet or hungry, and all is just peachy as long as mama is close by He's been SSTN well, only getting up once to eat. He follows things with his eyes and smiles like a rock star. I am just so in love with him and thank God every day for such a perfect little boy. His big sister is also doing amazing. Potty training is a success so far and she is officially registered for preschool! I am the happiest mama. Here I am with my sweethearts. Thinking and praying for y'all, and hoping for more BFPs as always.

[pismoduo]

My week is not complete without an icequeen list. Your little ones are adorable, lady!

[queenofcats]

Hey guys, I've been really sucking lately. We've been sick so I have had less time than I usually have.

E will be 8 months old next week! She is still working on crawling, she hasn't quite got the hang of it yet, but she's getting more and more determined and has mastered backwards crawling and scooting.

Trying my best to get back into playing here! Lots of love sent your way!

[kellybenelly83]

Wow I'm super behind!
Ryan is 2.5weeks old! We saw a pediatrician at 2 weeks and porky little guy had gained over 1.2 pounds since his last weigh in at 4 days, so he's almost 9 pounds already!! I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting but were handling it ok, dh and I were talking about it a lot, because we spent 13.5 years just the two of us, it's a huge adjustment for our dynamic, but we are working hard to keep each other as a priority as well as the baby so that we don't lose that closeness. Breastfeeding is going well, and I'm glad about that
I miss you all so much

[Sparkly]

Congrats SheilaTheTank! Sad I missed pics! I always forget to come on Tuesdays!

Congratulations adorebel! She is absolutely beautiful!

Sorry for your loss Fearsy. C is adorable as always!

Omg icaughtfire, how the heck are you half baked already?!

Lots more cute babies and mamas, but I could never rival icequeen with her lists!


Since I'm here, I'll AW the girls:





It has been a tough week. DD1 had an awful stomach bug and DD2 has been extremely fussy and demanding. I'm worn pretty thin right now, but these updates make me smile. Lots of love to you all!
