AW: DD and I watched the Daniel Tiger episodes about the new baby and she was so adorable and wanted to sing a song to my belly like Daniel tiger sang to his mommy's belly and told me she was going to hold baby brother when he was big enough to come out. I love that she really seems to get it now that there is a baby coming and is really interested in talking about it.
Rant: This effing heat needs to stop, I am so freaking done with it.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list?
I want to go on an African safari and visit an orangutan sanctuary in Borneo.

Are you melting in the heat, or comfy because you live somewhere cool? I’m meeeeeeeeelting! *said in my best wicked witch voice*

Any Upcoming Appointments? OB appointment on Friday.
Symptoms? My boobs are so itchy. SO ITCHY.

Melting here. Even the pools feel like bath water.
When is your due date? How far along are you?
12/7, 17+3
How big is baby? Pomegranate
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out?
Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments?
I was released from weekly appointments last week because I’m now considered stable. Go back to the MFM next Wednesday to check on the previa.
Symptoms? My poor nipples are so dang sore still, especially my left one.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I wish I was feeling more consistent movement. Without the weekly appointments I hope I start feeling more consistent movement soon to ease my mind.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? I just want to see more of the world. My H hates traveling so it will be one of my biggest accomplishments if I can even get him on a plane over the ocean. I want to get him to Hawaii first then do Europe, Africa, and Asia. I’m laughing at myself for even thinking it’s possible, otherwise I’ll be doing a lot of solo and traveling with friends 🤷🏼♀️

Are you melting in the heat, or comfy because you live somewhere cool? We melted late last week and all weekend, and now we’re back in the 80’s and slightly less humid (upper Midwest).
When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/20, 20 weeks today! HAlfway wooo!
How big is baby? A banana
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Team Girl was confirmed via ultrasound today!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had our A/S today. Next OB appointment is next Tues.
Symptoms? So hot/sweaty all the time. The heat has been making me itchy. Feeling more movement though!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Sunday night and yesterday I had some sort of stomach bug. Feeling better today but not back to normal yet.
At the ultrasound today, my placenta was pretty low. I had a previa that fixed itself with my first pregnancy too, so hopefully this one goes away before too long! They also couldn’t get baby to cooperate with getting the perfect picture of the heart, so I have to go back in a few weeks for that one. The tech told me they would have me come back within a few days or a week if they were worried about it, but they just want to be thorough. So, a couple more ultrasounds are in my future!
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? I really want to go to the Olympics (as a spectator) at some point! Or an athlete, if it wasn’t for my total lack of athleticism!

I’m excited for our baby boy, but I had a fleeting moment of...something when we found out. This our last child and for some weird reason I was convinced it was a girl. I didn’t have a preference, so the feeling took me by surprise and now I feel guilty.

How big is baby? A sweet potato
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out?
Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? A/S next Wednesday
Symptoms? I've been extra tired again lately - not sure if that's more heat, or more growing a baby though.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm excited that the ultrasound is finally coming up - last pregnancy once we had a good A/S I finally felt like I was getting a healthy baby out of the whole thing, and I'm hoping the same happens this time. We did buy paint for the nursery though since it was on sale - just need to find time to clear it out and paint now!
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? Also travel stuff here - I'd also love to do a hut on the water, and an Alaskan cruise would be cool too.

Due date: 11/1 ... nearly 23 weeks
Size: guinea pig
Team: blue!

Symptoms: an endless cycle of BH that make me feel like I need to pee, and actually needing to pee which triggers a BH. Or something.
Rants/raves/AW/Q: I felt cute last time I was pregnant. I definitely do not feel cute this time, to say the least.
GTKY: run half marathon, travel overseas with MH, build our dream house.

It has been so hot here! Over 90 degrees for almost a week. My pool is nice and warm now though! It went from 72 at the beginning of the week to 84! So we have been keeping cool there for the most part!
When is your due date? How far along are you? 15w 2d , Dec 25th
How big is baby? Avacado
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? Girl!!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next Friday
Symptoms? Tired that is pretty much it these days.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Starting to feel a little movement at night time. So that has been nice. I started my lovenox injections on Monday. They aren't terrible but they do leave me with bad bruises so that is not fun. I am starting to come to terms with it and actually feel like this will help me toward a successful pregnancy. From what I have read it seems pretty likely that having the factor V leiden mutation is why I had my placental abruption with DS. So if this medication can help to prevent that from happening again then I am so lucky. Wish it was caught sooner but it is what it is.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? Trip to Europe.

How is your week going? Are you melting in the heat, or comfy because you live somewhere cool? - It's been a pretty good week over here as we've had a lot of pool time to keep ourselves cooled off. The 4th was pretty brutal though, the pool just felt like a warm bath.

How big is baby? Dill pickle
Team Girl / Boy / Green? Or when do you find out? We should find out on Monday!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm finally starting to feel some regular flutters of movement so that's exciting!
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? - Learning to scuba dive. My husband and I would like to do a trip where you can go down in a cage and see great white sharks up close.

The 4th was pretty brutal though, the pool just felt like a warm bath. Our pool was the same on the 4th! So disappointing. Storming today, hoping at least the humidity will break, high today is only 83 and tomorrow is down to 79 |

expatmama11 OMG! I would love to do this! I am so jealous! How was it? I need all the details! I am trying to convince DH to do this with me! *adds to bucket list* It was so cool but I was also freezing. The water there is so cold. It was scary but not too bad since we were not totally submerged. We had snorkels and would go under when the sharks came by. He would regret not doing it if you had opportunity. |
