How far along are you? EDD? 36w1d EDD 1/2 RCS scheduled 12/28
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically - enormous. Its getting really hard to get around lately. I am having a lot of leg and ankle swelling which my doctor thinks lead to my 9 lb weight gain in the last 2 weeks. Emotionally - pretty good. I think this is actually the least anxious I've felt all pregnancy other than feeling behind on getting things ready around the house.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I am still on 2 week appointments and just had one yesterday so I just have one more appointment in 2 weeks the week before my RCS.
Any other word vomit to share? Nope!
QotW: What is your favorite vacation spot? I turn 40 in a year and a half and am already dreaming of a vacation with just DH and need some inspiration! We have been thinking Las Vegas (my parents are in AZ and we can drop the kids there on the way - we will be flying from the east coast), key west, Dominican Republic (I've been 3 times and loved each time) or a cruise (DH is not sure about one. He's never been on one and doesn't like that you can't see land)

How far along are you? EDD? 6w2d 07/30/18
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I feel like crap, 1st trimester nonsense. Emotionally I’m doing good.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I had an appointment today and we saw the heartbeat and everything is measuring on track.
Any other word vomit to share? Not really, I’m just looking forward to 2nd trimester which is SO far away.
QotW: What is your favorite vacation spot? I myself love cruises and would love to go on one again. But I also want to go to Vegas and just eat a bunch of food!

How far along are you? EDD? 23,5 EDD 3/30 How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, not terrible. I think my abscess is coming back, so I might need to see someone before my next appointment to deal with it. Emotionally, I was kinda freaked out earlier this week/this past weekend, but I think I've finally managed to capture the zen I'd been struggling to hold onto. Even if it only lasts a week, I'll take every moment of it I can get. Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Viability on Friday! Any other word vomit to share? Not today QotW: What is your favorite vacation spot? I turn 40 in a year and a half and am already dreaming of a vacation with just DH and need some inspiration! I don't know that we really have a favorite vacation spot. We've rarely gone on vacations and most of them are local or within a reasonable driving distance. I'd go to Disney World every year if I could afford the time and money!

How far along are you? EDD? I was moved back a week, so June 30. 10w4d
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm tired a lot. Still a bit nauseated from time to time, have to pee a lot lol. Emotionally, a lot better now that I've seen baby. I'm actually starting to let it sink in a little
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? First OB appointment on Monday.
Any other word vomit to share? Been telling my coworkers and residents this week. They're all pretty excited for me =) I'm also getting together the presents/reveal for my parents. Exciting!
QotW: What is your favorite vacation spot? I know that not everyone is able to travel outside of the country, but I really did enjoy going to Holland last year. It was my mom's 60th so we all went as a family. Had an awesome time just being there with everyone. H and I also enjoyed the cruise we took on our honeymoon and have plans to do it again at some point. We don't really vacation much though lol, and when we do we usually just head to Toronto to visit family.

How far along are you? EDD? 22w2d, 4-9-17
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm okay. Low back/sciatica pain. Some days it really hurts. Hip pain and hand numbness. I've recently been struggling with insomnia.
Emotionally I definitely have my anxious moments still. I'm trying to focus on all the good and not jump too far ahead.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? The 18th will be Vday and I have an appointment on the 19th.
Any other word vomit to share?

It's been years since DH and I have been on vacation and will be awhile before we get to go again, so I'm no help.

How far along are you? EDD? 30 weeks, 2/15
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I’m just large at this point. I know I’m measuring big (as in me, not the baby) so it’s not just my imagination that I am pretty unwieldy for being 30 weeks. It’s a bit frustrating but I’m trying to adjust and remember it’s only temporary. Emotionally I’m doing pretty well. He moves quite a lot so that helps.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have my monthly appointment on Friday. I assume I will have one more monthly until they move to two weeks, but I’m not sure.
Any other word vomit to share? I am getting frustrated that we can’t pick a name. DH is constantly making stupid joke suggestions and he’s about to piss off the pregnant lady. He always says we have plenty of time. Not really!
QotW: What is your favorite vacation spot? Two of my very favorite vacations ever have been New Orleans and London. London is a city where you can never run out of things to do. New Orleans is just fascinating. There is tons of amazing food, the culture is so unique, great music everywhere, and there are a million non-Bourbon Street activities for those who aren’t interested in the party scene. I really loved it.

Hi, may I please join this check-in?
I am twohopes, pregnant for the 5th time with one LC. I just had my 3rd beta, and they are rising great. I am guessing I am just short of 5 weeks today. I am anxious and excited at the same time. My last miscarriage was at 8 weeks in August; I also have a blighted ovum and a chemical pregnancy under my belt before I conceived my daughter, who is now 3. My husband has a Roberstonian translocation, we are at a higher risk for miscarriage and won't be in the clear until NIPT around 10 weeks. Do you accept newbies?

Thank you, both! It is wonderful to feel so welcome. I had a really hard day yesterday, definitely doing a bit better today. Overall, seems like the only way through this is hour by hour.
