Not much going on here this week. No appointments so just passing week 27 with a normal week.
Yesterday we went to a March of dimes event at our Nicu. It was really cool and our daytime primary was there. So it was nice to visit. The local news was there and dd got interviewed quite a bit so she should make the final cut which was cool.
We cleared the nursery and put the furniture in center so dw can paint. Before you all give me crap dw does painting on the side for extra $ so she is good and quick. I am not allowed to paint as I am messy and slow so it is best for all involved for dw to paint it.
I have the panorama bloodwork tomorrow. I'm going to ask for a Doppler check before they draw. I've had a lot of cramping and all around uncomfortableness lately and I'm so nervous. I won't have another opportunity for a Doppler check before we plan to tell family... So I need to know everything is okay before we head into thanksgiving.
I successfully weaned from progesterone last week, so my digestive system is much better now. I'm still hungry all the time, but have only gained one pound so far.

shanwalk, is it possible that 10w5d is too early for the Doppler to dependably find the heartbeat? You definitely don't want to give yourself an extra reason to worry if it is.
ssg73, you won't get judgement from me for your wife painting! I'm firmly on Team Pregnant Women Can Live Almost Normal Lives. I'm not generally against some coddling, but I don't really need it.
ursulabuffay, that's crazy! Hopefully it's a setup for a great relationship between cousins. I hope you don't mind sharing the spotlight while you're pregnant though!
Ha, spearmintleaf, I like your name for that time period. Not that the anxiety ever completely goes away for most of us, unfortunately.
ssg73, I just love your DD's hair. So jealous of those curls!
spearmintleaf, 'no man's land' is a good expression for it. Hang in there.
I have 2 appointments this week - one scan to check my placenta, and another doctor's appointment to go over the scan. Must remember to ask about my DPT booster. Mum is going with me to the scan (though I won't make her stay in the room for the vag cam).
10w1d today. I went two days without throwing up and thought maybe it was over but today I am throwing up again. Hopefully my OB will give me meds because I am running out of what the RE gave me and I definitely need it.
Took my last Delestrogen shot last night and am on .5ml of progesterone until I am done on Friday. I will be so glad to be done!
I've been cramping a lot today so I am glad I have another ultrasound on Tuesday to give me peace of mind.
11+3, pregnancy physical is on Tuesday. I'm not sure if the doc will try a Doppler, it's just my family doctor while I wait in th referral to the low risk pregnancy clinic to go through. I do have to have a pap, boo.
The past few days I have been feeling what feels like a little movement, here and there. I know it's early and if you google it, they say it's probably gas, but it feels the same as the first movements felt with DD so I don't know. It makes me feel better / less anxious to think of it as fetal movement so I'm going with it.

10w4d today...trying not to make myself crazy a bit weaning off progesterone. I go to the RE for 3 more PIO shots this coming week, and that's it. So crazy to think about.
So my best friend is a sonographer, and has been DYING to scan the baby since we found out about it. Well, last week I went up to see her at work, and we spent like 15 minutes looking at him/her. Before I got up, she asked if I wanted to take a pic for DH, and then baby started moving all around so we took a video. I've watched that video abot 50 times since thursday. It helps me when I feel anxiety creeping in.
Hi. I'm 16 weeks tomorrow. It's been a rough week and on Thursday I was diagnosed with my second UTI in about a month. Wth? I've never had one before that. Then I started running a fever on Friday afternoon through this afternoon. Tylenol has been helping to keep it down most of time but I'm still freaked out. Lots of nausea and I started cramping today. I'm going to call my nurse for a Doppler check. She and my OB both encouraged me to do so anytime I need some reassurance and I am definitely gonna take them up on the offer after a weekend like this.
Not much else going on. Next appt will be the anatomy scan in about 3 weeks.
V-day today! I'm excited to make it to this point but almost more nervous. We've been cleaning something out every weekend which has been really nice. This week it was my car and hosing down/vacuuming DD's car seat so it could dry in the sun. OMG it was a mess!!! My car is so much cleaner now! Such a nice feeling. Appt tomorrow, and I'm nervous for my weight check. I have a number I don't want to go over, so we will see.
22 weeks today. I have an appointment on Wednesday with my OB to go over the A/S and all the blood tests I had done a few weeks ago. The ultrasound tech said everything looked good so I'm not expecting any surprises. I took tomorrow off work so I could go to the lab and do my glucose test. I also have to go to the insurance office while I'm there to make sure I understand what's all covered with delivery and to make sure everything with the baby is covered. Dealing with military insurance,Tricare, can be a different process.
ssg73 I will be helping my H paint the nursery. I used to help my mom paint the rental units they have all the time. My H is too much of a perfectionist and it will take him way too long if I don't get in there and help him out. I'll leave the detail work to him while I use the roller on walls.
23w +3. I painted the nursery this weekend, I'm excited to start decorating it I have three doctors appointments this week (MRI, Cardio appt, and then MFM appt). I'm nervous since I don't think I've gained any weight in the last 2.5 weeks I gained 8 pounds from 17w-21w but it seems to have stalled now.

30w2d today. Our church threw us a baby shower and it was so sweet!
We have an OB appointment tomorrow, which should (hopefully!) be uneventful. So far all of my glucose readings have been fine.
Our goals right now are to have a house cleaner come sometime before Thanksgiving, assemble the nursery furniture before mid-day Saturday, and install the car seats in DH's car before Thursday (he has a co-worker who is s car seat tech who will check them for him). Oh, and I REALLY need to get on top of the thank you notes. Oops...
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
trace, I ran a fever for a few days during 2nd tri too. I caught some virus, but the scariest part was I couldn't keep the fever at bay even with Tylenol. I hope you start feeling better soon. It's crummy to be pregnant AND sick at the same time!
I'm just hanging out at the hospital getting a second pitocin infusion. I still have a good sized clot in my uterus that won't leave, so they are trying to force it out. Everything else looks good, I just need this clot to get out of there. I'm thankful they are watching it so closely, but I'm over getting IVs. I've had my quota for the year, I think.
ssg73 painting is fine!! I hope your clot passes Gumby! 33w today, appt Wednesday. I want to talk to my doc about swelling/BP, lack of sleep, and pain I have during BM and peeing. It's very similar to the pain I had from my endometrial cyst. I had a shower Saturday and another this Saturday. It's been so nice to celebrate with everyone! Definitely getting more prepared for the baby. The next two weeks are Operation Get Shit Done. This week's goals are to shampoo the carpets, finish decorating for Christmas, and get my office and work stuff all in order. Next week is all baby related.
11+3, pregnancy physical is on Tuesday. I'm not sure if the doc will try a Doppler, it's just my family doctor while I wait in th referral to the low risk pregnancy clinic to go through. I do have to have a pap, boo.
The past few days I have been feeling what feels like a little movement, here and there. I know it's early and if you google it, they say it's probably gas, but it feels the same as the first movements felt with DD so I don't know. It makes me feel better / less anxious to think of it as fetal movement so I'm going with it.
I swear I felt movement at 10w, then it stopped for awhile. I feel it on and off now but it's random.
spearmintleaf, that's so not cool. I don't think you're being uptight... I think it's normal to want a general sense of where the people you love are!
Today is 16w for me. I went for my 16w bloodwork this morning... this is where it all started to go downhill for me last pregnancy! However, being that I had the Panorama and already got the all clear, I'm nervous but not as nervous as I would be had that not already come back with good results!
DH and I also had a good discussion on names last night. I seriously thought we'd never agree because we both had lists and our name "likes" are vastly different! Some of my names got vetoed but I think we may have a frontrunner (which, FTR, was on my list, not his)! I'm shocked... and it's still early in the game so I have time to get used to the name for this baby! We're not 100% (and sorry, I don't share before birth) but at least I feel like the discussion was positive and we're not going to end up naming this kid Walter (that name was on DH's list... ugh!).
7w2d. Nothing new, no appointments until next Tuesday, when we'll hopefully hear the heartbeat. I still barely have any symptoms, which is a little disconcerting. I thought I'd at least have morning sickness by now (I guess it's weird that I'm basically HOPING to get nauseous--I just want some reassurance that I really am pregnant!).

7w5d today - no appointments this week. I am so ready to stop PIO though, I'm counting the days. And I'm ready to feel better. I just feel sick all the time - either hungry and sick, or too full and sick, or bloated and sick. I was not prepared for this. We told H's parents about the pregnancy this past week and they are so excited! H's mom is a teacher and we are due in summer so she has already said she can come stay whenever! lol!
G22 I hope your clot passes quickly and you are able to get out of there!
Thanks. They let me go after the infusion and told me to watch for it at home. I have to go back Friday for another ultrasound check. If it's still there, they want to talk D&C for getting rid of it Boo. Fingers crossed it passes this week.
Good morning! 30 weeks tomorrow and I can't believe it. I'm terrified about how quickly the next 10 weeks will go by, particularly with the holidays thrown in. The good news is I'll have a decent amount of time off to prepare.
After 2+ months of having my house torn apart by renovations, it's finally getting back to normal. Still work to do, but my H can do it all at this point. I'm physically and mentally done. I'm beginning to feel the end of pregnancy discomforts like body aches, swelling, peeing all the time, and most unfortunately, hemorrhoids
Drs appointment on Thursday - we're up to every two weeks now!
There are at least 3 other ladies in the lab taking their GTT tests as well. My drink was lemon-lime. It went down alright but I much would have preferred the orange flavor.
Trajan was on Brad's list. I dont suggest going to Italy at 20 weeks if you don't have names already chosen.
6 week appt today. Yay? M is coming with me. It will be her first subway ride.
I've never heard of Trajan, but I love a lot of Italian names - Matteo, Allessandra, Giovanni. We, however, are not fancy people, so we won't be using anything like those.
