How far along are you? EDD?
28+5, 2/15

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I’ve definitely gotten to the “constantly sore back, hard to get off the couch” stage. Being pregnant is annoying. I’m both nervous to have my 2u2 experience and impatient to have my mobility back.
Emotionally I’m doing ok. I’m definitely irritable and trying not to let it out too much. The baby is fairly active, but I still have little panics when I haven’t been paying attention all day and I realize I don’t know when he moved last.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I have to do the GD three hour, which completely sucks. I really hoped to avoid it this time. I didn’t react that badly last time but it wasn’t fun either.

Any other word vomit to share?
I feel like I should have a big long to-do list... but we are actually in good shape.

QotW: What is your favorite item to wear from your closet/jewelry box/shoe rack?
I got a pair of boots from Ilse Jacobsen for Christmas last year. They are waterproof and comfy and I wear them all year round.

How far along are you? EDD? 5w1d 07/30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I have a bit of nausea and am always thirsty but other than that so far everything is tolerable.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have a doctor appt. on Thursday. I still have the pain in my bottom right side. I’m hoping it’s just a cyst.

Any other word vomit to share? Not more than what I shared last week. Thursday will help, if everything goes well at the appointment.

QotW: What is your favorite item to wear from your closet/jewelry box/shoe rack? My wedding ring. I haven’t worn it in awhile because I lost a bunch of weight and it’s too big. I didn’t want to get it sized until after baby number 2 when I feel like I’m at a more permanent weight.

How far along are you? EDD? 35w RCS scheduled 12/28

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically - uncomfortable and big, I'm getting to the point that I get out of breath and tired from picking up DD1 and just doing normal things like getting dressed in the morning. Emotionally I've been feeling more regular movement which has eased my anxiety. *TW* My friend had her baby in August and also had a RCS and the cord was wrapped around his neck multiple times so I am scared that will happen to me. Her baby had a low heart rate a few times which mine doesn't so I have no reason to be worried, but I guess I need to create anxiety somehow.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? OB appt next week

Any other word vomit to share? I have so much to do to prepare for baby. We need to purge a bunch of stuff and finish organizing all the stuff in her room but I have no energy. I told DH that if we don't do it this week or next it probably won't happen unless he does it all.

QotW: What is your favorite item to wear from your closet/jewelry box/shoe rack? I was going to say a new pair of Uggs that I got to wear this pregnancy that are so comfy but kam3100 makes me feel like I should also say wedding ring.

How far along are you? EDD? 22,4 EDD 3/30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, I need help getting up most of the time and emotionally, I'm very up and down. Last week I was all doom and gloom. This week is shaping up to be okay so far.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Friday is A/S pt 2 and MFM!

Any other word vomit to share? Just concerned about my moods. I basically had a breakdown the other day because I was having terrible thoughts and it all makes me feel like I'm going to be a terrible parent. I can barely keep myself together now, how am I supposed to raise a kid to not be messed up, too? And then I have good days where I'm imagining being supermom. So it's all just a crazy rollercoaster I'd like to get off.

QotW: What is your favorite item to wear from your closet/jewelry box/shoe rack? I don't really keep it in my jewelry box, but my favorite thing to wear is my loss necklace. I put it together after our first loss and added to it with our second loss. If I'm not wearing it, I honestly feel naked and wrong. Moreso than even my ring.

[kam3100]

sarahh don’t feel obligated to say your ring haha! I haven’t worn my ring in over a year so I miss it. Plus I couldn’t think of anything else to say

[kam3100]

Rama I don’t know if this is relevant, but my first pregnant I was a royal bitch to everyone. I am one of the nicest people out there but during pregnancy I was the worst. So, I’m saying that some of your ups and downs ‘could’ be hormones messing with you.
If this doesn’t make you feel a teensy bit better, please ignore me hugs to you!

How far along are you? EDD? June 23, 10w3d

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm doing better. Still nauseated quite a bit, and exhausted a lot. Emotionally I'm a little more nervous this week than last week.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I had my high risk doctor appointment yesterday, and he seemed pleased with everything so far. I have my ultrasound on Friday, and I'm really nervous about it. I know I saw the HB 2 weeks ago, but I'm worried that something's gone wrong in the meantime. I'm glad MH is going to be with me, because for my first loss I was alone and it was just way too much.

Any other word vomit to share? I just can't wait to make sure everything is alright, so I can start buying all the things!

QotW: What is your favorite item to wear from your closet/jewelry box/shoe rack? Hrmmm, probably this really cool pair of military style boots I got from Aldo like 2 Christmases ago. I got them on sale half off and they're super comfy and go with just about everything. I even wore them for my entire trip to Holland last year, where we did a TON of walking, and never once were my feet sore or tired =)

How far along are you? EDD? 37.5 weeks. Due 12/16, RCS 12/6

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically rough. I waddle and hurt all the time. This pregnancy is harder. I had my first contraction last night too.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Standard appt yesterday and then one more next Monday before eviction day next Wed.

Any other word vomit to share? I can’t believe it’s almost time! We are still doing projects and stuff, so baby needs to hold off for next Monday when I can get the house professionally cleaned and pack a bag on my first day of leave.

QotW: What is your favorite item to wear from your closet/jewelry box/shoe rack? Wedding and engagement ring that were finally retired off my fat fingers last weekend.

Had my dating ultrasound today. Unfortunately no pics but it looks good! Baby is measuring a week behind but that's consistent with the fact that I'm fairly certain that I implant late. Nice heartbeat at 173 and baby was bouncing around like crazy already :-) Hubby said I'm going to have fun later if it's already moving like that lol
