3. What and when is your next appointment? Wednesday, regular check + cervix check
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? the countdown is on. My last day at work is the 13th. I wish it was, like, tomorrow. We have a lot to do around the house. The realtor came by yesterday and we need to do a few things, like paint the trim and the ceiling in the kitchen. It will be a busy couple of weeks to get the house ready to go on the market.

[laurensc927]

codex320 thanks for the check in, you're getting so close!

1. 32w 4d
2. Feeling pretty good, definitely getting harder to put my sneakers on. Some upper back pain that I blame on my boobs.
3. Nothing until next week. Hoping they'll schedule a growth ultrasound then.
4. I started freezer cooking this weekend. I'm hoping by chipping away at it I can get a decent amount done without feeling overwhelmed.

[Dogpaddle29]

1. 17, 3
2. Feeling great.
3. Oct 13th
4. Not really. Things are pretty boring which is how I like them. Belly is staring to pop out and friends and family have started wanting to touch it. I guess I'm looking more pregnant than fat the last few days so that's fun.

[codex320]

laurensc927, +1 to upper back pain. I don't know exactly what is causing it but I'm thinking it is my current weight distribution. My boobs aren't big enough to cause it. Sitting in the car SUCKS. What's been helping is nightly (almost) massages by DH.

[Rama]

How far are you now? 14,3
Symptom check: Fatigue, headaches, some nausea, what I can only assume is RLP
What and when is your next appointment? Today, just a BP check with a nurse
Anything you’d like to share with the group? I think I'm getting legitimately excited for this to actually happen. Finally. I'm still nervous as hell that I'll have another MMC, but that's so unlikely at this point and anytime I start to feel an attack coming, I can pull out my doppler and find the babe chilling in my hip. Whew.

[codex320]

Yay Rama! Second tri!!! The doppler definitely comes in handy.

[fatpony]

How far are you now? 4,6
Symptom check: Nausea, sore nipples, vivid dreams
What and when is your next appointment? Today, had a third round of Beta's draow - came back at 1539 (20DPO) and a doubling time of 45 hours!
Anything you’d like to share with the group? I've been a bundle of nerves since my beta on Wednesday. I'm shaking with relief. Ultrasound week of Oct 16 - probably Thursday because I'm off that day.
