1. 34 weeks, a butternut squash.

2. I am at about a 3-4 right now. I still have 6 weeks to go so I am thankful it's not worse. Most days are pretty good, but I can see that it will be going downhill shortly.

3. None

4. Rants: Have been dealing with a very upset stomach the last few days....nausea and diarrhea. Also the exhaustion is at a totally new level. Raves: I have Friday off and have a "me" day planned that includes a hair appt and probably a massage.

5. So far, I have been doing a lot of laundry related to the baby and starting to pack bags for the hospital and just get all of that in order. I have a work shower next Friday so once that is over we will be buying any last minute necessities. No meal planning/preparing just yet.

Week/Fruit: 34/Butternut Squash

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you?
About a 5. Depending on the day (or time of day), it slides up or down. It's uncomfortable but I'm not at the point yet where it's unbearable, and there's still so much to do!

Appointments/Updates: Next appointment is this afternoon. Baby girl is crazy active still and likes to push her entire backside out against my belly. I call this "rub me, mommy!" time because it reminds me of cats and dogs who come up and shove parts towards you that they want rubbed. I love it! It also helps me know which way she's oriented and I'm relieved that she seems to be mostly vertical still.

Rants/Raves: Not too much today, other than constipation sucks. The day is still young, though.

GTYK: What are you doing now to prepare for LO's arrival (meal prep/cleaning, etc.)? We've been doing prenatal classes and our last one is tonight. Our second shower was this past weekend so we're organizing all of that stuff now. I've started doing baby laundry. I've got meals in the freezer and still have a list of some more I need to make. I really need to pick up the pace on all of these things!

Week/Fruit: 36 weeks, honeydew

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you?  Probably a 4-5.  My back just hurts and I have bad heartburn. 

Appointments/Updates: I had an appointment today and my first cervical check (which I didn't know I was having until today!).  I am dilated to about a 1.  I go weekly now.

Rants/Raves: Today is my 3rd wedding anniversary!  We don't have any big plans, but will at least go out to dinner tonight.  Not even sure where yet.

GTYK: What are you doing now to prepare for LO's arrival (meal prep/cleaning, etc.)?  I have been working on baby laundry and getting his room all ready.  I should start thinking about packing a hospital bag, but I am always so last minute!

Week/Fruit: Week 36 (tomorrow)/honeydew melon

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you? Probably a 1 or 2 - I'm still in denial about having this kid and the only thing I can really complain about is lack of sleep. 

Appointments/Updates: 36 week appointment tomorrow for GBS testing. 

Rants/Raves:No rants. Raves: My baby shower was this past weekend - it was beautiful! My sister did a great job and the weather cooperated wonderfully. We only have a few things left to buy. My coworkers are throwing me a shower next Friday and I played hookie from work today. Enjoying catching up on my tv shows!

GTYK: What are you doing now to prepare for LO's arrival (meal prep/cleaning, etc.)? We did a lot of stuff in the fall/winter - refinishing hardwood floors, painting, remodeled the kitchen...so nothing now. I don't know if I'll do a whole lot of meal prepping, but I'd like to make those witch-hazel frozen pad thingies.

Week/Fruit: 34, butternut squash

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you? 2, I was but on bed rest yesterday after going into labor so it's nerve-racking to stay pregnant but I want him to stay in for at least 4 more weeks.

Appointments/Updates: Lots of appointments. He looks good. Just laying around and hoping for the best.

Rants/Raves: Bed rest sucks.

GTYK: What are you doing now to prepare for LO's arrival (meal prep/cleaning, etc.)? Everything is on hold. I'm just laying around.

Week/Fruit: 37 weeks, winter melon

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you?  9! Although I would like baby to stay in a little longer...  And wait for my MIL to arrive to stay with my two older boys.

Appointments/Updates: Growth ultrasound last week.  Baby looks great and they estimate he is a little over 6 lbs. 

Rant: Insomnia...  I woke up at 3:30 last night and couldn't go to sleep again.  Got up at 5:00...  Went back to bed at 6:10... My older boys woke up at a little after 6:30.  SO tired.

 

Raves: So thankful everything looked good at the ultrasound.  Only two weeks to go until planned CS. 

GTYK: Most everything is already done.  Today I cleaned out my car.  Tomorrow our carpets are getting cleaned professionally, need to really clean under fridge and stove this week.  Went to Trader Joe's yesterday and stocked up on some things.  Maybe making some freezer meals next week.

Week/Fruit: 36 Weeks, Honeydew Melon 

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you?  3 or 4 maybe?  Not too terribly uncomfortable yet.  

Appointments/Updates: Had my 36 week appt today.  Did the GBS swab and started the non-stress tests and cervical checks.  The check wasn't as bad as I imagined.  Doctor said baby is head down and very low.  He said he could already feel the head, which creeped me out a little!  But no dilation or any concerns so that was good.

Rants/Raves:  I'm on spring break from school and the weather stinks!  Not looking forward to going back to school and ACT testing next week!

GTYK: What are you doing now to prepare for LO's arrival (meal prep/cleaning, etc.)? Still trying to get the nursery ready.  Hopefully work will be less crazy for my husband the next few days and he can get some stuff done.  Wish that crazy cleaning phase I keep hearing about would kick in.  So far, it hasn't!

Week/Fruit:
36, Honeydew melon

Scale of 1 (I could be pregnant forever) to 10 (Get this kid out...NOW) - How uncomfortable are you?
Probably a 6ish. Most days aren't so bad, but sometimes acid reflux gets really bad, and also just getting winded and tired really easily now.

Appointments/Updates:
Next appointment is next tuesday. Starting cervical checks then.

Rants/Raves:
Rants: Still feeling like I have a lot to do, and work is wearing me out. Also lost my debit card two days ago, finally called to cancel it today and get a new one sent out which takes 7-10 business fays. Found the card tonight in the basement laundry pile -_-
Raves: We had our last baby class today! Learned some fun stuff   The best was watching DH put on the empathy belly, try to tie his shoe and lay on his side

GTYK: What are you doing now to prepare for LO's arrival (meal prep/cleaning, etc.)? 

I got baby's  hospital bag packed but still working on mine. At least have things gathered for mine.. Still need to get it packed and finish LOs laundry, and prep my cloth diapers
