I will post this week, but if anyone wants to take over the check in please step up!!! Sorry if I missed anyone-my PG brain is fried!
This is a weekly check in for the lucky ones who have made it to the 3rd trimester!!! If you are in week 28 or past, feel free to join in on the weekly fun.
If you're just joining us, please post a mini synopsis in your first post with your EDD, how many beans, if you know the sex(es) and how you have been feeling in 3rd tri along with any appointment updates.
QOTW: what's the most special gift or purchase you have made/received for the baby?
So C-section is Monday, I've been sick with Bronchitis for the past 10ish days, which totally killed my plan to enjoy the last couple weeks of pregnancy. I can't seem to kick it, my muscles ache from constantly coughing. Now I'm just ready for her to come out so I can at least have some pressure off my lungs
QOTW: what's the most special gift or purchase you have made/received for the baby?
My friend's mom crocheted a beautiful blanket for her and she said a prayer on every single stitch. I will cherish it forever.
Spontaneous pregnancy #1 DD1 July 31, 2011

I got that nasty bronchitis too - still coughing 5 months later. My ribs are so inflamed that I haven to take Vicodin before bed to get some sleep. If I don't, the pain just intensifies. At least the pain is manageable on 1 pill per day, the side effects aren't too bad. Still, Advil would be way more effective..... Sigh. I'm 39 weeks today and on mat leave. I've been feeling much better now that I'm getting rest. I go in on Friday since my ob is going on vacation and if he's not here by then, she's going to schedule an induction on the 9th. Hopefully, he comes soon I have lightning crotch bad!
@potatocastillo good luck on Monday!! I had a scheduled c/s with my first and it went smoothly. It's nice to have a date and be prepared!
@Knottie4978096 I hope your baby comes before the 9th!! I bet you are ready and I am with ya on the lightening crotch! Ouch!!
I am 36 weeks and have an OB apt tomorrow and hope for some progress. All these Braxton hicks contractions in the evenings have moved to on and off all day. I think my mucus plug is slowing leaving and after DS1's bday party on Saturday and I will be 37 weeks I am ready for this show to be over. I am pretty miserable this has been the hardest pregnancy so far and I am ready for the reward!! I can't wait to see a baby girl face! I just did a huge warehouse food store run with 2 kids in tow and got tons of looks. My freezer is officially stocked and all the to do items that have to be done are done. The rest is bonus or can wait.
QOTW: my MIL made a quilt for her and smocked a coming home outfit. They are so classic and girlie!! I bought booties and a hat this week to complete it!
AW/Ultrasounds/Upcoming Appointments: Local OB on Monday and then MFM on 2/11 and then local OB again on 2/16, so twice a month now.
QOTW: Have not bought much yet, I have two snowsuits that are fuzzy with a moose theme to hopefully bring them home in and two cute pj's with monsters oh and hats with bear ears

Hello, i just had my on appointment for the week and she bumped my induction date to Monday due to some protein in my urine and borderline high blood pressures. Looks like I will be meeting my girls early next week (Monday is 37 weeks). Hope all goes well and that they Are doing well enough to not need nicu time. I have another nonstress test tomorrow and had bloodwork today. After all this time waiting, it seems so soon!
Got a call from ob this am. I am in triage waiting to see if they will keep me and induce today or send me home till Monday. Urine test showed more protein than theyexpected
I had 3 contractions that woke me up last night....DS's 5 year old bday party is today and after that she is allowed to come whenever!! They seems to have tapered off this morning so I doubt she will be here today, but I plan to walk her out this week if possible!
