Hi! I will do the whole roll call later when I’m on my computer, but just wanted to say hi and thanks for starting another thread. 

31weeks with baby girl Flossy! Due 1st Nov. 

• GrannyPantiesRock
• 5 years ago

• Wedding: November 2013

EDD: Nov 25th

Team: Pink

Name (if you want to share): Victoria

The most exciting moment so far: Finally having good ultrasounds after 2 MCs.

The thing(s) you miss the most: Booze

Do you have a nursery theme (feel free to share pics!)? No theme really. Colors are peach/pink with a lot of neutrals. Besides the little paintings and crib, it could serve as a room for any female because it’s not really baby specific. We may move in the not too distant future, so didn’t see the point of painting.

What symptoms or fears are you having? Probably all the unspeakable fears all pregnant women share. I’m at high risk for preterm labor due to a short (incompetant) cervix, so every week that passes is so important. I know most premies do ok after 28 weeks, but I really don’t want her to start off life in the NICU.

What projects (baby related or not!) are you working on? Staying pregnant.

The thing you are most looking forward to: Meeting the baby!

What are you reading/learning/taking classes about these days? Nada. I’m determined to not learn anymore things.

Any news you would like to share: 2 colace pills work better than 1.

Name (if you want to share):  We’re still trying to narrow things down to a short list, but we’re keeping them to ourselves.

The most exciting moment so far:  Starting to feel movement.  I love those kicks and punches!

The thing(s) you miss the most:  Wine, for sure.

Do you have a nursery theme (feel free to share pics!)?  Nursery is still in early stages…. we’re in the middle of repainting the dresser, and this weekend we’re going to paint the room.  We’re going with a light blue-green and planning on a loose ocean theme.  But mostly I just want it to feel soothing.  For me, if not the baby!

What symptoms or fears are you having?  Heartburn, pain when I walk for more than 5 min, peeing all. the. time.

What projects (baby related or not!) are you working on?  Nursery is the biggest one!  Besides the dresser and the room, I’m planning to make curtains and a bunch of other stuff.  We’re also purging and reorganizing to prepare for the onslaught of baby gear…. and the fact that we’re losing our office/guest room/place to put extra crap due to setting up the nursery.

The thing you are most looking forward to:  Meeting the baby!  I cannot wait, getting so excited.

What are you reading/learning/taking classes about these days?  We start childbirth classes in a few weeks.  Next on my list is reading up on breastfeeding, and I also need to look into pediatricians one of these days.

Roll Call

EDD: November 19

Team: Green

Name (if you want to share): We’ve picked out a name for both a boy and a girl.  If it’s a boy Dominic and a girl Abigail.  We’ll be using my dad’s name for the middle name in both otherwise George or Georgina, we thought it was a good way to honour his memory.

The most exciting moment so far: Definitely feeling the baby kick for the first time.

The thing(s) you miss the most: Sushi, wine and cold cuts

Do you have a nursery theme (feel free to share pics!)? We’re keeping our colour scheme very neutral for right now, gray and white.  We’re doing an owl theme and I’ve been able to find some great owl accessories from a number of places.  So far I have blankets, pillows, book ends, hand carved wood owls.  DH thinks I’m going a little overboard.

What symptoms or fears are you having? Heartburn and acid reflex like there’s no tomorrow.  Extreme swelling in my legs and feet, along with really back varicose viens.  Definitely starting to get a little anxious for delivery, not sure exactly what to expect and how things will go.

What projects (baby related or not!) are you working on? We’re actually currently in the process of finishing our basement, which has been a huge amount of work and DH wants that done before the baby comes.  We’re also working on the nursery, my goal is to have it ready by the end of September.

The thing you are most looking forward to: Holding our baby for the first time and seeing DH hold him or her.

What are you reading/learning/taking classes about these days? We’re taking a prenatal/childbirth classes in a couple weeks.  I’ve read What to Expect and now want to start reading up on breastfeeding.

Any news you would like to share:  Instead of measuring 11 days ahead like the baby was I am now measuring 7 days ahead which according to my OB is within tolerance.  We had an ultrasound on Friday that showed the baby has already moved to a head down position and according to the OB is perfectly healthy.  Oh and I haven’t gained a single pound since my last OB appointment a month ago, which means currently I’ve put on 6lbs this pregnancy.

EDD:  11/25.  28 weeks today

Team:  Pink!

Name (if you want to share):  We’re dragging our feet on this decision, but have it narrowed down to a few.

The most exciting moment so far:  Finding out that it’s a girl!  We already have a boy, so one of each will be perfect 🙂  And I love feeling the movements… looking foward to feeling hiccups

The thing(s) you miss the most:  sleeping comfortably.  and wine.

Do you have a nursery theme (feel free to share pics!)?  I love the bedding set we got; it’s called Dahlia, and has shades of purple flowers.  So we’re planning to accessorize with lilac, but likely paint the walls a light linen color.

What symptoms or fears are you having?  Typical soreness, bad skin, etc.  My ankles have started swelling if I stand too long, so I’m trying to keep my feet up as much as possible!  I’m also worried about going into labor naturally… I would rather be induced so we can plan for grandparents to be here (since they’re several states away)

What projects (baby related or not!) are you working on?  I want to get DS sleeping in a big bed before baby comes so we can put the crib in the nursery.  We still need to paint the nursery and set it all up too, but I think we pretty much have all the stuff.  I feel like we’re really behind on this stuff, but we’re travelling and won’t get to do it until the end of Sept.

The thing you are most looking forward to:  Spending lots of time with DS as an only child now, and then seeing him as a big brother!  Meeting this little girl and seeing how different her personality is to DS

What are you reading/learning/taking classes about these days?  nothing really

Any news you would like to share:  I have my followup ultrasound this afternoon, and I think I’ll also get my rhogam shot.  I hope DH can make to see the baby on ultrasound!

What projects (baby related or not!) are you working on?  I’m just trying to decorate, furnish the house before the baby comes cause I know it will not happen once he is here.  Also upgrading my son’s room to a big boy room with a big boy bed.  He will almost be 3 once the baby is here.

Team: Blue!

Name (if you want to share): Lucas Anthony

The most exciting moment so far: Seeing/feeling him kick and move. We’ve been able to see and feel him move since I was 16w2ds, and it’s something that DH and I look forward to every night. We lay on the couch together and just watch him and interact with him. It’s amazing!

The thing(s) you miss the most: On hot day, I miss  being able to enjoy a nice cold beer or margarita. I’ve even had dreams about them…

Do you have a nursery theme (feel free to share pics!)? Elephants and owls. I’ve always loved the two animals, and I love the designs I’ve been seeing for those!

What symptoms or fears are you having? I’ve been having braxton hicks since 20 or so weeks. Ended up in the hospital at 24weeks for regular, non-stopping BH’s. I started having painful ones a couple of weeks ago which my OB has me keeping an eye on. Seems like this little guy is eager to come! Also been having hip pain, especially when trying to sleep. Just getting to be generally uncomfortable…Fears have been lessening. I’m starting to feel more and more ready. But, my biggest thing I worry about is how mine and DH’s relationship will be afterwards. I know we will look at eachother in different, ways that are good, but I’m nervous about change period!

The thing you are most looking forward to: Seeing what he looks like. I cannot wait to see what features he gets from me and what features he gets from my DH. I also can’t wait to see DH hold him for the first time. The look on his face when he stares at my belly and says “I just want to hold him and never let him go” has so much yearning in it, it melts my heart.

What are you reading/learning/taking classes about these days? Taking our birthing class next Saturday which is exciting. I’ve just been reading random articles about breast feeding and how to survive labor lol.

Any news you would like to share: Have my baby shower this Saturday and I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see all my friends and family and celebrate my little guy. I’m also super excited for the food. Cannoli cake? Yes please!!
