E is 9 months on Saturday and she's doing great. She waves hello and bye bye and likes to blow bubbles in water. She has a great sense of humor and I can tell she's going to be a riot as she continues to get older.

queenofcats, that sippy cup is everything, and what a cutie!
No pictures to share, but I'm 15w 6d and still fighting nausea and exhaustion. I'm excited for my next monthly appointment on Thursday and my A/S on 4/22. We are currently having our entire house painted (inside) and will be doing some redecorating when the painting is done, so that's exciting. We also just got hit with ~5" of snow here in Boston, which is less exciting.

Happy Spring, ladies!
Things are good here. I'm 38w3d and have a strange motivation to do all of the things recently. I framed a bunch of photos from a two-year old photo session and bought and had delivered a used changing table/dresser and glider/rocker. I don't remember the last time I had this much drive, so the nesting idea is no joke. I've planned three play dates, and I've even wanted to iron?!?
I'm starting twice-weekly non-stress tests this week to make sure the placenta is working right. I still think she'll appear at w39 like my son. MIL comes on Friday, so we're just crossing our fingers she waits a little longer.
Sending love to all of you and hugs to those having a difficult time. I'll never forget the support I found here.

Hello!
I'm 6 weeks today and not a whole lot going on over here. A little nausea, cramping and sore breasts, but nothing too terrible. My first appointment isn't until 4/21, which feels like forever from now.
I'm stalking this place like crazy hoping for more BFPs.!
10 weeks +1 here. My first u/s and appointment with the midwife are on Friday. Most of my 1st tri symptoms have disappeared and I have my energy back.
This week has been rough just because it started out with DD getting tiny hair like Cactus thorns stuck in her feet. Then H went to war with the Cactus to tear it down and while it's gone, the juice and everything from it caused his allergies to go into major overdrive. My FIL watched DD while I drove H to the Walk in Clinic and we spent 3 hours there. Then DD slept terribly last night and is now getting sick (which I am in denial of). I hope by Friday we are all feeling better.
ETA: We are no longer a 1 car family!!!! We got a 2005 Hyndai Elentra on Friday for H to drive to and from work. We are both in love with it and I really want to steal it from him, but there is more room for the kiddos in our CR-V.

@urnysunshine77 best of luck on delivery! I hope it goes smoothly for you!
We are 7 weeks old! I'm having a hard time believing it. Ryan met his cousins Sunday , who are 4 and 2, that was a bit nuts, and my family wouldn't stop hovering over dh and I when we were doing stuff like they were just waiting to correct us on something. It was annoying but we managed to keep our smiles plastered on and not flip out (ok I may have gotten a bit snappy at the end) Ryan is getting really interactive now and coos at us, he loves mornings and soft things against his neck and face. He's about 12 pounds (or more!) and started sleeping 6 hr stretches at night so we only wake up once a night now, which basically makes him the most kick ass kid ever. Though I do have time a pump right before I go to bed now otherwise I wake up in pain and so engorged. Here's a bunch of pics because I can't pick my favourite.

Nothing too major is going on. I was scared Saturday night because I was up off and on with some menstrual like cramping which people tell me was probably BH. I've cramped some every night since then, but the baby seems fine. I was really looking forward to my appointment today with my favorite midwife to get some reassurance. Unfortunately due to an emergency they cancelled my appointment this morning and I'm STILL waiting for a call back with my re-scheduled appointment. I'm contemplating calling back and asking to speak to a nurse and just begging for the earliest appointment just for my nerves. Even though part of me thinks I'm being silly, it's probably just 3rd tri stuff and nothing major... but with losing my mucus plug and the cramps I'd just like to know everything is okay.
Anyway here is my bump shot from last week (34w5d).

Hi ladies!
I'm 34w3d today. Breech as of a week ago. We've been doing all the Spinning Babies things and I'll see a chiro on Friday. I have the slightest suspicion that baby might be butt-up again, but I don't trust any of my instincts anymore. With all the uncertainty and stress of that, I've put down the birth books and am just focusing on the other side - having a baby at home next month! When I'm hanging out upside down on the ironing board ("breech tilt") MH reads stuff about caring for an infant out loud for entertainment and educational purposes. I'm in a deep nesting frenzy - several times a day MH will walk in and catch me standing motionless, staring at the closet or changing table or corner of a room as organization scenarios dance in my head. (Totally like the scene in Anastasia... except with neatly sorted cloth diapers instead of Russian royalty.)
To the fun stuff, we did a short pregnancy photo shoot while the cherry blossoms were in full bloom last week. I can't wait to get the photos back and will definitely share here. We're doing a little babymoon this weekend a short drive away - we're staying in a B&B and watching sailboats and chilling. I'm looking forward to being forced out of the To-Do list for a few days!
And one of the coolest things to happen so far - MH heart the baby's heartbeat last night! He read long ago that you may be able to hear it with the naked ear after 20 weeks, but up to yesterday he'd never heard it. Last night he did! I didn't believe him, but he tapped it out for me and it was definitely faster than my own pulse. (He heard it lower on the bump, adding to my hope that baby is head down again.) Totally wild!
Anyway, that's my big long check-in story. Can't wait to see the other bumps and babies - this is such a great part of my week!
I'll be 33w tomorrow!!! I had my growth scan last week and kid is measuring huge at almost 4w ahead (weighing about 5 lbs 9 oz) and my fluid levels are too high again. I'm checking my blood sugars for two weeks to make sure it's not because of GD, which by now I'm pretty sure it's not since I've had several days of totally normal numbers (even after yesterday's "lunch" of two doughnuts and a soda). But I go in for BPPs weekly for the time being to make sure the fluid levels don't get worse.
So that's been fun to worry about, but she's otherwise healthy, so maybe she's just a chunker.
Not much else going on. Today I'll probably clean up the baby's room a little so we can put together the furniture at some point. But moving at all is getting pretty difficult.
I was hoping to give a bump comparison this week of 13vs33, but one of the girls broke my mirror last night, so no bump shots this week. Maybe next week. Love you guys.
kellybenelly83, that smile! I'm in love! P.S. Have you had a margarita yet?
Yeah I kind of like him too I haven't had the margarita but I have had a few pints of Kilkenny and Guiness which was amazeballs. This weekend it's the glass of white wine I have been craving since last summer (I don't know that I'll get more than that because I'm likely to be tanked after just 1)
Dear baby Gold, get your head down and ass up. Don't make this hard on your mom.

Gah!!! I can't believe how close you are!!! I hear you on moving around, it's horrible the last few months! You're almost there!!!

Hey Everyone! This is my first check in for months, although I still lurk all of the time.
We came back to Angola in February and things are going well for the most part. Cam is almost 5 months old now and we have been dealing with a fussy phase for a bit now. It's exhausting!! I am, of course, still madly in love with him and super thankful I'm his mama.
Last week made a year since my BFP. I really don't know what I would have done without this board during the year I was ttgp.
I plan on jumping back over here at some point but it's hard to keep up with my high maintenance baby who doesn't nap!
Not much new here yet. I guess I could take a picture of my bloated stomach and we can play "how many tacos did she eat last night"? And that's a trick question, hubby wouldn't agree to go out.
I'm 8w1d and I have my last u/s with the RE on Friday. I was terribly disappointed to learn that it won't be with the stud as he is away all this week and part of next. Then on Monday I have my OB intake.
Last week's ultrasound was great!! Baby A was measuring 21.5mm and a 162 heart rate. Baby B was measuring 23.m and a 167 heart rate. While measuring, RE told us at this point they look like gummy bears or teddy grahams. I could neither stop laughing, or imagine eating either one ever again.
I'm feeling mostly great!! A little tired and occasional aversions to food but otherwise feeling quite myself so far.
I was SO SO happy to see a few BFPs this past week, and I wish you all a BFP!! I am crossing all of the things for the IF girls, and open every thread looking for your surprise!
Hello! I'm halfway done with this pregnancy gig. I can feel the baby moving all over the place, which is fun. I hope my husband can feel him soon.
We had our anatomy scan yesterday and baby is totally healthy. We still don't know the sex, but are saying "he" instead of "it." Baby hated the probe and kept wriggling away. At one point, he rolled up into a ball because he was done being pushed on. The tech was like "Nooooo!! Now I can't do anything." It's the same when I sit hunched over or on my stomach - he moves around until I stretch out. The child likes room.
It's nice to know I'm on the downward slope. I've gained about four pounds to this point so I'm a bit nervous about the next two months. We've done daycare and doula interviews. That's all set to go. Contractors are in my house and moving as though they've been dipped in molasses. I want to think about getting the house ready for a baby, but nosuchluck for a few more weeks.
5 wk 3 days here. Not too much to report, fighting nausea in the evenings and super sore boobs, but otherwise feeling good so far. First appointment is 4/15, so trying to be patient until then.
I am 27w5d today. I have my diabetes test and an OB appointment on Friday. We will get the c section tentatively scheduled for sometime between 34-35 weeks. Hopefully get an appointment with anesthesia and see if general is really my only option. Lots of movement here and nesting for sure knowing that this baby is coming next month.

I will be 9 weeks tomorrow! Friday was my last RE appointment and baby was measuring right on track with a heart rate of 171 bpm. I had a nurse intake appt at the hospital yesterday and my first appointment with the midwife is next week. We also decided to find out the sex since we did PGS testing and we were so excited to find out we're having a BOY!!!
No bump pictures to share yet but here is the 8w2d ultrasound of baby boy.
I'm halfway baked as of yesterday. I can't believe it. My emotions have been all over the place, I'm tearing up thinking that half of my pregnancy is over!
I think I feel movement occasionally but nothing consistent, my OB said I'll definitely start feeling it more in the next couple of weeks!
I had my A/S last Friday and she is measuring right on track which the MFM OB was happy to hear since overweight patients can either deliver really small babies or really large babies. But, because of this I have to in addition to my regular OB visits once a month (for now) I'll have to go to the MFM OBs once a month for an U/S. I'm fine with it, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Anyway, enough chatter, here's my baby girl's profile, which MH already thinks she looks like me!

Hi! My little girl is 2 months already! She has gotten a lot more interactive the past few weeks and I love seeing her experiencing the world. I wish I had gotten a picture last week when she woke up from a nap while I was pushing her through a parking garage. She was in awe. Here she is on Sunday, from her 2 month "photo shoot"
18 weeks +4 here. In the midst of a horrible spring cold. I'm taking all the baby safe medications I can but I'm so miserable. Still feeling light movement which I'm sure will get a lot stronger soon. He definitely prefers my right side.
Last weekend I went through all of DS's old baby clothes. Holy crap I forgot how much we have. I think the dude's wardrobe is pretty much set. In the next few weeks we're going to start working on the nursery.

teraiin make sure you're drinking a lot of water lady! When I was huge and pregnant with DS I would get all crampy and sick in the evenings when I would try to do too much during the day and not drink enough fluids. It sucked :/
Post by madamewaffles on Apr 5, 2016 14:25:23 GMT -5
Hai GKU, so happy to see more exciting news throughout the board this week. Congrats to all of the new BFPs!
AFM, I'm officially in 3rd trimester as of today, woot! BebeWaffles loves making his presence known by swift kicks to the cervix and belly, especially when I'm about to doze off at night. Starting to feel the pressure of trying to make sure mostly everything is ready for his arrival, but I'm trying not to stress about it. C-section is still tentatively scheduled for 39 weeks (11 weeks from today, what?!), and we'll get the actual date at my next OB appointment a week from Thursday. Otherwise, nothing new to report.
I'm always here, lurking away, and hoping for moar grads every day!

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure you are right. The night the cramping was the worst was a long day with lots of running around (aka not a lot of time to drink water). And I don't drink much at night because I'm sleeping so that might explain why I feel it primarily at night.

Tankgirl is 6 weeks old as of yesterday! How the fuck did that happen? She's smiling and cooing a lot and pretty much the coolest baby ever. Likes include: Shoving hands in her mouth at the same time as my boob, staring at stationary ceiling fans, bath time with daddy. Dislike include: Being buckled into any seat, taking food away to burp, being changed into a million different cute outfits that mommy swore she'd never put on her. My OB released me to the world today so I get to have sex (yay) and exercise (boo) again.
Here's a pic MH took the other day when I was trying to get her down for a nap. PDQ!
