Re: Babes with Bumps- the quick edition
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
Nothing new. I had some odd dizziness/cramping over the weekend, but that seems to have gone away. No appointments for a few weeks.
2.) Anything else you'd like to share?
Under 100 days till the 40w mark. Yikes! The worst part is this is also my Christmas countdown, so that makes it double scary.
Achey cramps and some twinging is common. Anything more than period style cramping (generally with blood) is when it's recommended to have concern.
I had some of the worst cramps right around the time my period was set to arrive. I thought it was because I was no longer on the pills. But nope, the next day showed a +. And the cramps continued for a while longer. As long as there was not blood I was not concerned.
so happy for you sarah!
My Blog Picture A Day Blog
Ok, thank you. I can't seem to help myself from being paranoid.
My boring blog
Can you add me as well? According to fertility friend my EDD is 5/10.
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I have been feeling pretty normal. Yesterday and today I am feeling tired but I am also adjusting to jet lag from returning from Portland. I also started feel pretty bloated towards the end of the day the last few days. My first appointment isn't until September 30th.
2.) Anything else you'd like to share?
I told my sister and her husband in the hopes that they could help me hid the pregnancy from my mom while in Portland. Since my dad didn't go on the trip I didn't want my mom to find out before my dad. My sister definitely helped me keep it from my mom. I also had to tell a coworker who I trust to keep it a secret. Since I work in a research lab my doc suggested that someone here know so that they can do the work for me that involves any reproductive toxins and anything else that I want to steer clear of. Other than that I am keeping things a secret for now.
Thanks! That definitely makes me feel better too. We are so beyond excited.

Nothing to report, really. Feeling great. Feeling lots of kicks now. Next appt is at the end of the month. New bump pic in the sig
It's kind of scary to see my name move up to the middle of the list!

I have had some cramps too. They started about 4 or 5 days before I was expecting to start and they are just now almost all gone. A few times a day I still have almost an achy feeling, but I don't have the cramps like I did.
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
Not much new here. I am back in the routine of trying to get to sleep in bed, tossing and turning, coming down to the couch for a couple of hours, and then going to bed.
2.) Anything else you'd like to share?
I've gotten stuff moved around in Marshall's room to fit the new crib in. We have the crib and mattress, so I'm hoping that we can get that put together tonight. I'm not sure that things are going to fit the way I had pictured them, so I want some time to play with it and move things around until I'm happy with it.
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I can't see much difference in myself, but my Mom saw me on Sunday and said I had grown a lot, and then said I looked like I have dropped some. I don't know about that, but if it's true, then maybe that's why I've become much more uncomfortable.
Have an appointment next week, and the MD office just called and said they want to do another fetal weight ultrasound. They said that the one done last week wasn't good enough or have enough detail that they needed. Last week LO was measuring around 4.7 pounds (per the ultrasound, which I know isn't always super accurate).
2.) Anything else you'd like to share?
Breastfeeding class in tomorrow, all day birthing class is this weekend, and baby shower is next weekend! I can't believe they are so soon, they seemed so far away when I scheduled them months ago!
DH has been a huge help as I continue to get bigger and need more help with things. He's definitely getting more excited as well, as we get closer!
I'll be a slight AW cause I had a great baby morning.
Went in for check up (should've been a 12 week but I'm a week off due to doctor's vacation). Doctor had trouble finding heartbeat-said baby is a swimmer. He said he heard it in small pieces, but would do a quick ultrasound just to reassure us.
So yay! Bonus ultrasound today! Baby appeared to have hiccups and looked a little smushed-haha-but they did give me two okay pictures:
I did take a bump pic for later this week too.
Otherwise, I have a sore throat/cold which SUCKS but with Zofran I'm still feeling okay on the MS front.
Good to know I am not alone. My cramps are def. few and farther between than they were last week.
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I feel fine. I'll be 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow, so the end of the 1st trimester. Woo hoo! I haven't had any morning sickness. I have my end of 1st trimester ultrasound on Thursday.
2.) Anything else you'd like to share?
Nothing else I'd like to share.
