How far along are you? EDD?
37+4, 2/15

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I’m generally large and uncomfortable. I know I’m lucky not to have any serious pain, but I’m so achey all the time. I found myself super jealous yesterday when DH crouched down to do something. I miss crouching and bending without it being a big production!
Emotionally I’m both impatient and nervous. Things are about to change so much, and right now I’m too focused on the part where I’ll get no sleep, be sore as hell, etc. It’s still abstract that it all comes with a new arrival that will make it worth it

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I’m on weekly appts so I’ll see my OB on Friday.

Any other word vomit to share?
I have my sub to prepare, a house cleaning on Thursday, an OB appt on Friday followed by a school fundraiser, then a haircut on Saturday. Then this baby can arrive as soon as he wants! (because he’s clearly going to work around my schedule 😛).

QotW: Not everyone loves winter... But what is one thing you do enjoy about cold weather?
I have a cute winter boot problem. The bigger the variety of weird winter weather, the more I can justify my collection!

18w2d, June 30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I feel kind of gross. I started puking and I've now puked more this trimester than I did the first, ugh.
Emotionally, I'm excited to find out what we're having and be able to share it!

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Anatomy scan on the 12th

Any other word vomit to share?
Just a question - why are all of my maternity pants so freaking long!?

QotW: Not everyone loves winter... But what is one thing you do enjoy about cold weather?
The fact that it goes away!!

How far along are you? EDD?
8+5, 9/5

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I’m tired, never get a full nights sleep between going to the bathroom and sweating profusely. Emotionally feeling optimistic right now as time progresses.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Next appointment in a little over 2 weeks

I like all the comfort food and playing in the snow. I don’t love winter, but I like it enough.

How far along are you? EDD? 31,3 EDD 3/30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, I'm just tired all the time. Getting up and down off my couch is hard, too. Emotionally, I had a rough weekend. Yesterday I was full of anxiety and all weekend was booked with things to do, so I probably didn't rest as much as I should have. I know I need to cool my jets on doing things, but there is so little time TO do things, that I really feel like I only have a short time to get anything done before I'm stuck at home with a newborn. I just need to learn to say no, haha.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Probably should have an appointment this week, but if not it's next Monday for a NST.

Any other word vomit to share? Not really. Just all the panic about all the things we still need to do and how there's less than 6w until the start of the window they want me to give birth in.

QotW: Not everyone loves winter... But what is one thing you do enjoy about cold weather? Not having to mow my lawn? There is pretty much nothing I enjoy about cold weather, except the fact that it's not blazing hot.

How far along are you? EDD? 12 weeks and 2 days today, EDD is August 13, 2018.

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? My nausea has subsided some, which sometimes freaks me out, but it started happening before my last ultrasound, at which everything was Ok, so I think it's just par for the course. Breasts are not quite as sore, although it varied by day and time of the day. I am getting more RLP with sharp movements, which sometimes stops me in my tracks. I still fit in my pre pregnancy clothes in the am, but I am very bloated in the evening.

Emotionally, I am trying to keep it together white waiting for NIPT results. It's not super easy. I think I am mostly OK. I probably have another week of waiting, as I gave blood last Thursday in the evening.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? We already had an NT scan, but they could not quite get the measurements perfectly of the neck fold. The doc was unconcerned, said it all looks great. But I am switching practices anyway, and getting into their MFM too, so I'll get a bonus NT scan this Friday. Also waiting for the NIPT results at this point.

Any other word vomit to share? Meh. The wait is weird and unpleasant. It also won't really be the definitive end of anxiety, as we all well know. But it is what it is. Trying to also hold on to some things to enjoy and some hopefulness.

How far along are you? EDD?
16w. 7/19.

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
For the most part I'm okay on both fronts.
I've been worried about my 2 year old because he possibly has the flu. I'm waiting for the dr to call back with his results. So I'm worried about my family getting it and me of course.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
2/7 is my next appt. Just a regular appt and blood draw.
I am feeling baby move!


Any other word vomit to share?
It's been on my mind even more the past week... I should be having a baby this month. I should be full term, looking forward to giving birth and bringing a baby home soon. It's a mix of feelings because I love this baby inside me too but I can't help thinking I should be almost done, not still in the beginning.


QotW: Not everyone loves winter... But what is one thing you do enjoy about cold weather?
Wearing my cozy sweaters and cute winter boots.
