GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of? 

gutsysneakers

Week/Fruit: 38 weeks/Pumpkin

Symptoms: nothing new - heartburn after OJ (which I still continue to drink anyways); insomnia; RLS (has gotten a little bit better); intense lightening crotch

Upcoming Appointments/Updates: Appointment on Friday - I'm assuming another pelvic exam...

Rants/Raves: Rant: Why is it raining for the second day in a row? So over it. Rave: My coworkers threw me a baby shower last Friday and they were incredibly generous. This past weekend, we returned a lot of "doubles", I planted all of our vegetables/herbs for the summer, made my husband rearrange furniture, and he vacuumed out the car to get ready for baby!  Feeling prepared...

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of?  We still need to hang pictures in the nursery, pack my bag (I've been saying this for weeks now), install the car seat, and get our dog groomed.

Week/Fruit: 38 weeis- pumpkin

Symptoms: So tired and the swelling and heartburn are still around

Upcoming Appointments/Updates: I have an appt this morning for another cervical check.  Really hoping I have progressed since I started losing my plug last week!

Rants/Raves: I am jealous of everyone who has had their baby!  I don't want him to come too early, but I am so ready to meet him!!!

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of?  I still need to pack my hospital bag and go buy some more diapers/wipes, but I think that's about it.

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of?
Just all of my last minute cleaning and laundry.

Week/Fruit: 36 weeks, honeydew.

Symptoms: Not too much....except nausea has sort of crept in lately. It kind of feels like morning sickness. Not my favorite but it usually goes away by the afternoon.

Upcoming Appointments/Updates: I have an appt this afternoon for the GBS swab and my first cervical check.

Rants/Raves: I've had a pretty good last few days celebrating my birthday and got to have a day off work as well. However, tomorrow starts two really crazy long days at work so I am not looking forward to that at all.

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of? I don't really have much left to do. We are definitely prepared with supplies. I need to install the carseat and finish packing my hospital bag.

Week/Fruit: 36/honeydew

Symptoms: lots of contractions the last couple of days

Upcoming Appointments/Updates: Appointment tomorrow morning

Rants/Raves:  Raves:  My parents are taking DS tonight so I can relax.  Rants:  I'm super irritated with DS because he is so freaking clingy.  I'm kinda glad he's gonna be out of my hair for a bit.

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives?  Everything, I swear.  PNP still needs set up, room needs to be reorganized, laundry needs doing...

Cupcakes89

Week/Fruit: 38 weeks / Pumpkin!

Symptoms: Rib pain and lots of acid reflux

Upcoming Appointments/Updates: Today was my last OB appointment! This time next week I should be holding my baby girl! Unless she takes 24 + hours to come out The 7th is eviction date and they will be inducing me at 6am that morning

Rants/Raves: Not much to complain about, trying to chill and relax till next week. My rave is that I "almost" have all that I need to buy for her... few small cheap items that I can pick up at walmart this week is all. Im excited that DH is working from home now.. He wont be able to take many days off.. only maybe 3 but with him home i will feel better even if he cant help much from 5am-3pm!

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of?  Move her changing table into my bedroom (which feels like its turning into a nursery). Gotta throw some clothes into the suitcase and DH needs to "build" up his bag with his stuff since we have to spend the night at the hospital the night before the big day.

Mamarazziof3 Good luck tomorrow!!!!!

Week/Fruit:
38 weeks, pumpkin!!

Symptoms:
The same (exhaustion, acid reflux, cramps and pressure) plus have been getting swollen feet and hands, right fingers get tingly, and cramping is increasing. Kind of miserable today, feels worse then when I have my period. Also have been getting more lower back/butt pain.

Upcoming Appointments/Updates:
On Monday I was 1cm dilated and 50%, I know it doesn't mean much but it is something, next appointment in the 7th.

Rants/Raves:
Rants: Generally DH does dishes and I do laundry, last night DH was complaining that I had not folded laundry and he wanted socks, I got two loads washed, just not folded. He started with the "I know your pregnant but..." I snapped back with yes I am pregnant I am exhausted my feet hurt and every time I walk I get cramps! And I am still working 40+ hours a week. Mostly he has been really good but last night I kind of wanted to smack him.
I don't know how to get through the next two weeks of work, I feel like there is a ton I want to do there before mat leave, but I am getting more and more miserable doing anything physical.
Raves: My Mom arrives a week from today!! I am super excited to see her, and to have her help cleaning!

GTYK: What else do you have to do before LO arrives? If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of?
I only have a couple things left to put in our hospital bags. I need to finish organizing and putting away his stuff, get some more cleaning done around the house, and finish getting my cloth diapers prepped. I also have more crochet projects I want to finish for him but am finding it hard to just sit and crochet lately. However, I finally feel like I have pretty much everything I need and am starting to feel ready for him.

GTKY: If you have an outside baby, any advice on what we should do to prepare that we perhaps haven't thought of? Not much but just to enjoy every moment you can with them because they grow up so fast.
