Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[baby_bray]

Congrats on passing the glucose test!! I'm a little nervous about mine. I'll probably go do it in the next 2 or so weeks. My midwife just said anywhere from 24-28wks and our lab does walk-in 1hr glucose tests.

I've been pretty conscious about what I've been eating since I had my little "6lb in 2wk" spike and it doesn't seem to be slowing down ...I was 131.6lbs last Monday and 134.6lbs today...I typically do my weigh ins on Mondays because I'm in my lightest military uniform (lol) and I just use the scale here at my work clinic to keep things consistent. Where is this coming from!?!
I mean, I know we just had Thankgiving, but I thought I was doing pretty well!!

 

[Twinkie210]

Bray- Right around that time period I had a huge "growth spurt" and gained 12lbs in 3 weeks! I thought my Dr. would say something, but he didn't. I was convinced I would fail my 1hr glucose test, but I passed. I ended up going back to the normal 1-2lb per week

 

[baby_bray]

That definitely makes me feel a little better... thank you. I know looking at the charts it definitely seems like it picks up around this time....so I'm trying not to totally bug out....
I know I'm still within healthy limits, but mine is just rising so rapidly all of a sudden! I'm still technically on track for a 25-35lb gain. I didn't really start gaining until I hit around 14 or so weeks so it's sort of came out of the blue. I just don't want it to get out of control! My poor frame wouldn't be able to handle it if I kept gaining like this for too many weeks!!

thanks!
i had weeks too where i gained a lot. it's slowed down the last month though. less than a pound a week gain the last month! i'm sure it will speed up again shortly as baby grows. hey, i was 134 today too. we weigh the same, lol!
i think it's just baby. could be water retention also. i had that big time with #1. gained 8 lbs one month from it with ds

I gained 50 total, but most weeks I gained closer to 2lbs You can certainly stay within that range.

V-DAY!
Feels like a small hurdle in the long-run...but amazing to have got to this point!
The crib mattress arrived yesterday and I couldn't tear into it fast enough to make her bed to see how the bedding looked with her room~

The thought of her being her in just a few months is starting to seem soooo daunting...but so exciting...I find myself day dreaming every once and a while about what she'll look like...dark eyes like me, or grey/blue like her father....hair or no hair...so weird to think there's a whole little individual in there!

Congrats on V Day!!! Huge milestone!!

Congrats bray on vday!!! Most people don't understand how important that day is for us pal girls. Big steps. She will be here soon.

Moter... Congrats on the glucose.

Colta... How is it going girl? Did the witch get you?

All our mommies... How are the little ones doing?

Afm.. Been so busy. So much to do so little time to do it. Cold is finally gone. Still have a slight cough but not too bad. Have a new horse coming tomorrow and of course the baby cow. Waiting on 3 more baby cows and who knows when they will arrive. Finn is still breech. Got my tree up and the darn kids broke my rotating base. Waiting on a new one to arrive. Only 17 days left til our Christmas (fauxmas as I call it) and I have serious work to be done. Going to kill dh as he decided he needed to bring half of the crap he has been storing at his mothers home and now it is residing in my living room. Lol I am gonna send it all to the barn if he doesn't get it gone. No matter how much I clean the house is destroyed. It's a losing battle. Not much longer though and I am ready. Definitely uncomfortable, but love feeling Finns constant moving and can't wait to hold him.

 

[Twinkie210]

I understand how you feel I feel like I never get to rest, yet my house is always messy, dishes need done, and there is a mountain of dirty laundry! We have most of our decorating done too!

Little guy is doing great and behaving himself at Grandma's now that I am back to work. The holidays seem to be hitting me harder than expected. I love my boys so much but there are times when I think, "I should have an 8 month old right now" I feel so guilty

 

[moter98]

Mail, sounds like you've got a lot going on right now. My dh does that too. He will either bring something home or clean out a drawer, then leave that stuff on the kitchen table for weeks cause he can't decide where to put it!
Do you think drs will want to take Finn soon or?
I am starting to get uncomfortable myself. Having the shortness of breath lately. Not fun

 

[colta]

Mail - she got me... awful ol thing. I'm on cd2, can't wait until she hits the road... I'll be due for AF (or hopefully a bfp) on the 25th.
So, I can has xmas miracle please?

 

[mailcmm]

I have an apt on Friday. Going to mention how awful I feel but I am pretty sure I am looking at 38 weeks. I can't imagine unless he's coming on his own having him sooner. He refuses to move below my belly button. I am not kidding. He's is entirely above it. All my movement is there too. My left side ribs are bruised or something. I just know he is gonna stay breech which I am happy with due to pelvic pain but part of me says let him turn cause I know I will go right into labor. Want to make it at least 2 more weeks though. 36 weeks and he can come on down. Lol Braxton hicks are getting closer too. Had had a couple times that I need to time them. Wonder when they will start checking to see if I am dilating? I forgot earlier... Congrats on the 3rd tri!!! Will be here before you know it.

Twinkie... I know how you feel. I could have a 7 mo, a 6 mo, or a 3 mo yet here I am pregnant for the 15 mo. Yes I have basically been pregnant since last August. I try not to think about the babies I lost. I will never forget them but it still hurts too much to head down that road. You have 2 beautiful boys and one day will be reunited with the other. Going to be a special holiday for you. First Christmas. So exciting!

 

[mailcmm]

Colta I really hope you get that miracle. You really deserve this and have waited far too long.

My bump in celebration of V-Day , no hiding it! Big jump from 20wks!

Colta- I'm praying this Christmas brings you exactly what you've been wishing for

Mail- Hope the appt on Friday goes well. I hope Finn makes his appearance in a healthy safe way that hopefully doesn't cause you extra pain or discomfort! Happy to hear the cold has got better. It's going around here now...thankfully mine hasn't been too bad, it's more like a stuffy head cold...

 

[Twinkie210]

Cute pic!

Mail- I hope Finn behaves and turns at the right time I started getting checked aroun 33/34 weeks, but that was because I was having preterm contractions. I started dilating aroun 37 weeks (which is when I think my Dr. normally starts checking). I was 1cm at 37 weeks and 2-3 by 38 weeks and the little booger stayed put until 39 weeks (I wish they would have checked me I would have loved to know how dilated I was on delivery day, LOL)

 

[Twinkie210]

Good luck Colta! I am pulling for a Christmas miracle for sure

I am sure you guys will see on FB, but Liam went to the Dr. and weighs 14lb 8oz and is 24in long at 2 months old. He is getting so big!

we are opposite mail. baby seems to be hanging out below my belly button. i am constantly being kicked in the cervix, like he's saying "let me outta here"! it is much more comfortable though this way than what you describe. ouch. i feel for you and hope the time goes by fast for you. i get tons of bh also. started around 14 or 16 weeks, can't remember, but early. had em early and the same with #1 so i am not too concerned about them. i seem to get them mostly on lower half of uterus and often i'll get 5 within 20 minutes, then it will go away for hours. this happened last time so i haven't gone in for it. if i would start getting them like that for an hour straight, then i would go in.
