Eliza Mae - September 16th, 2014
Re: TTC Tuesday
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? Almost 4 months!
How do you feel? Exhausted. He was sleeping so well for so many weeks in a row. He has been waking several times a night again for the last week or so.
Any Milestones this week? First day at the babysitter was Friday.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I loathe washing bottles and H refuses to help. I'm sure I'm going to get home tonight after work, H has been home with him all day, and have to wash the bottles he drank while he was with H.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 38 - Pumpkin. I feel like this is fitting for Sept, and a sign she can come out now.
How are you feeling? D-O-N-E
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?
I freaked the midwife out last Friday. I started cramping Thursday night. I timed them and got 3 6 mins apart, but then it started to get further apart (11, 15). SO I went back to bed. Figured if they woke me up, they were worth tracking. I made it to my appt Friday. With GD, I have an NST (non-stress test). They check baby's heart beat and contractions. I was showing back to back to back contractions the whole time. they said anything over 25 could be one, and I was peaking above 45. Tech was like oh just come mild contractions it's ok. I'm like ok, I just feel cramps.
I went to wait to see the midwife in the exam room and I hear her in the hallway going "CAN SHE FEEL THESE?!" I'm like whoa who is that about?! Then she's in my room asking me. I'm like um, yea, just cramps. She's like Why aren't you in L&D?! I tell her the tech said I was fine. Well, she checks my chart and I tested positive for the GBS (yay another test I failed). So she said if I was dilated at all, I was going down to L&D. Alas I wasn't. I guess my ute is a drama queen. She said I can track them if they get me out of breath and I can't talk through them. Which is why the tech said I was ok, I was talking and joking the whole time during them.
They stopped Friday night. I've gotta a few more but not regular like Friday. Back to the waiting game.
@willyh19, how has it been 4 months already?!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 27, some consider that 3rd trimester, other things say next week. I'm ready to be in 3rd tri! Home stretch!!
How are you feeling? Much better. I was at state fair all weekend, so my allergies got really bad. Sunday evening was terrible.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I had my glucose test on Friday. I passed the blood portion, but I did spill glucose and protein in my urine sample. I don't really know what the glucose part of it means, but the protein is not a good sign. I read a little on the glucose and it said when your pregnant some times it shows up in your urine. Hopefully the glucose is nothing.
Yesterday I had memory foam skin, just barely swollen. The symptoms for my auto immune are protein in urine and high water retention that leads to swelling. So, essentially the same symptoms as preeclampsia. They will not be easily able to tell which problem I am having without a kidney biopsy. Right now they just plan to monitor it, I think it's pretty likely that I'm going to end up on bed rest. Hopefully it will not be anytime soon if it happens.
How many weeks:35w3d
How are you feeling?great...a little swollen. did too much and drank too little yesterday
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? got a lot done in the nursrey this weekend, which is great since I'm back at work! Watch out for a big AW post when I get home today
Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD/DPO: CD 24/ ?? DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: last month my period came on the 15th, but it is usually due on the 12th of each month so I'm going to try REALLY hard not to use a HPT on the 12th of this month and just wait.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: If I got pregnant last cycle my due date would be in May 2015, which is when one of my job contracts expires....Plus, it's before wedding season. To me that seems like a weird coincidental sign so I'm trying not to think about it.
@goatlady12 Your pregnancy seems to be moving quicker than mine did. I can't believe you're in your 3rd tri! I am sorry that you may be having your auto-immune or pre-eclampsia. I hope that you're just swollen and not having a complication. I've heard bed rest is no fun.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 weeks
How do you feel? I feel good, tired. I'm getting stressed about going back to work in 3 weeks. I have to go this afternoon to meet with my sub for a little and I am heart broken. I don't want to leave my tiny baby.
Any Milestones this week? O's bellybutton fell out. She now has an adorable innie
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I guess my rant is above with how I'm feeling. I also want to be out of this apartment and in the house. It should be another couple of weeks. We now have a mouse in the apartment, which I think has set me over the edge. I told my dad I'm moving in a few weeks regardless of the condition of the house.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 12 weeks on Thursday.
How do you feel? Sad. I go back to school today and I don't want to leave him
Any Milestones this week?
Not really.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I don't remember if I put this one up or not.
@sjs1013 - yea, GBS just means you get pencillian before delievery. Everyone gets an IV hook up so it's whatever (at least at my hospital). I just think they are more prone to send you to L&D for close-ish contractions then just wait it out. Like in my case, if they were enough to dilated me, I was going to L&D. Just to be sure the antibiotic has time to take effect.
@goatlady12 - I really hope it all works out and no bedrest for you! Welcome to 3rd tri!!!!
Cycle/Month: 1/1

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 weeks 1 day
How do you feel? Pretty good. Getting sad I have to go back to work next week.
Any Milestones this week? He's picking his head up and turning it more and more. This past week he is definitely going through a growth spurt and has gone from eating every 4 hours to every 2! He is sleeping more the usual and is extra cranky when he is awake...it's been a rough week for mommy!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? When I go back to work next week H will be home with him for 2 weeks by himself so we can delay daycare by those two weeks. I'm curious to see how he is going to handle it!
He's a pic of mr cranky pants :-)
If you are worried about supply in the beginning, you could always wake up and pump but i would rather sleep!
How many weeks: 37 weeks tomorrow (?!)
How are you feeling? Good. My feet have been swelling more lately, so the waddle has really set in. H thinks it's cute.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Here's the bump from last week
I hope not, but looking on the bright side, at least then I'd get some reading done.
So true! I read a TON while I was on bedrest!
