It is officially baby month for me! I'm being induced on 5/28 (at 39+2) if Darby doesn't arrive before that. I had an OB appt this morning and she is head down and ready to roll.

So I got a VM yesterday saying that everyone who took the 3 hour GD test since March had to take it over because the glucose drink didn't have the correct amount of sugar. My reaction:




Thankfully my OB didn't push back when I said not gonna happen. I have less than 4 weeks left and the 3 hour made me SO SICK this time. Sorry baby! I don't go to a little OB practice, its the practice within the largest hospital in Boston. What a mess.

[shauni27]

at this rate I would not worry, scm1011. You are so close (!!!)

[knx9211]

scm1011, Yeah, I'd say no and MAYBE just watch what I eat a little bit. But you're so close, how much of a difference could it make?

I'll have to take it twice, but VERY different circumstances!

You have to do the 3 hour twice?! I'm so sorry, that's awful
And yes, I'll dial down the ice cream and cookie habit. My OB did mention that they'd notice any crazy spike in my urine, so that's good. I'm on weekly appts here on out.

Yay for baby month @scm1110!

I'm finally starting to feel a little more human as I edge closer to 2nd trimester! I'll be 12 weeks Friday, so not too much longer. First trimester has been way tougher this time around. Not sure if it's just because I'm older or also chasing a 3 year old around, I feel like I've been sorta useless some days because I feel so crummy.

[scm1011]

G22, I felt the exact same way about 1st tri with #2. I'm glad you're approaching the light at the end of the tunnel!

I had to do the 1 hour (failed) and 3 hour (passed) already - around 15 weeks. He told me I’d have to do it at the normal time too. I’m hoping he’ll just let me skip to the 3 hour because history tells me I’ll fail the 1 hour and don’t want to take BOTH again! I have to do this because I had Gd with my first pregnancy. Boooo

[scm1011]

Ugh, that is rough knx9211. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. FX you pass the 2nd time, too!

Ugh so frustrating you have to take it again. I had GD with my first and have to test at 18 weeks this time.

Can I join in?
After a 4 year saga (2 egg retrievals, 3 operations, 1 FET) I’ll be 24 weeks tomorrow with my first. I’m getting more excited and less 😳, but I definitely still have those days as well. Lol

[lo]

insominac, congrats!!

[scm1011]

insominac, huge congrats!! I had no idea you had gone through all that. I’m so glad you have made it this far

[insominac]

Thanks guys ☺️. Even after everything, I still sometimes can’t believe this is actually happening. So weird. Lol

[Mushe]

insominac wow, congratulations!!! I ‘know’ you from the old MM, and am so happy for you. 💕

scm1011, eep, so close! I was just thinking that I need to get serious about mailing you those clothes. 🧐

[Mushe]

Woof, you guys! Work has been so crazy, I haven’t had a moment to breathe, and then home time is busy busy too.

B is doing so well! She’s 7.5m adjusted and can crawl! 😳 She rocks the 1st percentile for size, but eh, I’m small. We are giving DS a redo Disneyland trip this week. I’m so excited!

[woowoo]

I'm closing in on 35 weeks and am starting to feel all the feels about finishing my one and only (sticky) pregnancy. Is that weird? We wanted this baby so baby (and still do of course) but I'll admit that I never expected to enjoy being pregnant as much as I have (after 1st trimester anxiety passed), and now to think about him not growing safe inside me....and knowing this is my last time to feel that feeling. I'm 40 years old, we have no eggs left and we always wanted to be one and done, so this decision was already made, I just truly didn't expect to be so sad about it at this point.

Girl I do not want to add stress to your busy life, so please don't stress it!! 
Exciting news about Miss B crawling and the redo Disney trip - I hope things go smoothly this go around! 

[loira]

We're doing great except my super sleeper has turned into a crap sleeper the last few months. And only wants me in the middle of the night. It got so bad, I started telling her I was sleeping elsewhere and would only see her in the morning. Now she only pitches a small fit when my H goes in and then sleeps fine the rest of the night. I do not feel one shred of guilt for lying.

Enjoy your redo trip, Mushe!

[shauni27]

insominac, CONGRATULATIONS! How exciting! I think around 22 weeks was when I really started to enjoy pregnancy--I was finally showing for real, could feel baby move and was just less anxious. I hope the remainder of your pregnancy is smooth and enjoyable!

Mushe, I cannot believe she is crawling already. That is wild! Also, yay to a new Disney trip for that cute son of yours.

woowoo, Around 33 weeks or so, when I was in the HIGHEST HIGHS of enjoying pregnancy, I started to get sad I would never be pregnant again (by choice) and I also started to get nervous about how much our marriage would change. I still get sad that I will never be pregnant again (though I really do not want any more kids!) so cherish and enjoy every moment of pregnancy that you can--you deserve it!

We moved E to a toddler bed yesterday. There were a lot of tears, mostly from me. We had to move her because when I went in to get her up in the morning, she put her blanket over the side of the crib and then fell head first out; luckily I was right there and caught her, but I told H I couldn't put her in the crib again. So far she's doing really well and it is pretty dang cute to see her in it. Any suggestions for sheets for it? She just has her fitted sheet and her blanket now, should I get a fitted sheet? She'll need something lighter than a fleece blanket soon.

[thoseareradishes]

woowoo, after E was born I told H that I really missed her; I loved feeling her little kicks and I mourned not getting to enjoy that for longer (E was born at 24 weeks).

[woowoo]

thoseareradishes, I can't even imagine. So glad she's doing okay - toddler bed already! OMG I would cry too, I get you!

[pandora89]

insominac - congrats and welcome!!

woowoo - it is definitely a strange feeling. I was so excited for DS to get here but also so sad to not be pregnant anymore.

We got DHs DNA Fragmentation results back and they were normal so we are good to go for Ivf. My next CD1 is next week so I think we are going to wait one more cycle before we start. I can’t believe DS is going to be one on Tuesday. We did a cake smash for his this past weekend and are waiting for the photos to come back. He also started walking recently and loves yelling no and shaking his head lol.

[EllenGriswold]

Yay for baby month scm1011!
And for crawling and Disney Mushe!
Congrats insominac!

As of yesterday we are officially graduated from the RE for #2! Now I have to decide on an obgyn and we need to start thinking how and when we are going to tell G! I’ll be 9 weeks tomorrow and I feel like I’ve already gained all the weight. Eating is the only thing that settles my stomach so I’m just constantly eating all day. I’m looking forward to telling people so I can just embrace the maternity clothes and stop feeling like I need to suck in my stomach.

[cactuscookie]

woowoo, I definitely mourned the end of my pregnancy after giving birth the first time. It's just such a special time, with so much excited anticipation.

thoseareradishes, we bought a sheet set for H's toddler bed, but she's never liked the flat sheet, so we don't use it. She just sleeps with the fitted sheet and a blanket.

insominac, congratulations!

[shauni27]

pandora89, I cannot believe E is one!! WOAH. Also, I cannot WAIT to see his cake smash pictures--he is the friggin cutest!

Oh yes. Same situation basically here and i had all the feels my last month of pregnancy. I also had post partum amxiety which made me feel terrinle. I wanted my little one so badly then was such a mess from when he was 4 weeks until i got some help at 8 weeks. Just know you arent alone and its totally normally!

I have my last RE follow up tomorrow as well, we’ll be 9 wks this Sat. They mentioned stopping my progesterone and estrogen then and I am so nervous despite looking forward to not getting a shot in the bum. For those who have done an FET, when did you stop your meds? I feel like I’m still just bloated/fat, but this is my first not my second.

[scm1011]

red, I stopped at 10 weeks both times, although honestly I probably all but stopped the estrogen patches at around 8/9 weeks because the itching was driving me BANANAS. I'd wear one for an hour or 2 a day before I lost my mind and ripped it off.
