~Sunday ticker change~~

Holy sh*t. 30 weeks here. If she comes early like my second, I'm down to 9 weeks. 8-| I'm seriously in crunch time mode. She's a cucumber this week, but I don't like that comparison, so I'm going with the guy chart. A pint of ben n Jerry's

Nursery is basically done, some decor stuff is all that's left. Clothes washed. Oh and a friend gave me a mamaroo to use. Holy crap that thing is amazing! I showed my oldest how it worked and she thought it was so cool. I'm excited because it doesn't use batteries!!! Every 2 week appt start this Wednesday for me! Vacation starts next Friday (cannot wait) I get to fly with #2 and she is super excited! All I have left to really do is wash the cloth diapers. Then, we can just relax until she makes her debut! Have a beautiful memorial day weekend, remember our fallen soldiers and the sacrifices they made so that we can live freely and have babies in a safer country than most

29 weeks and an acorn squash over here. Not really ready at all yet but that's ok... we'll get there eventually. Still feeling pretty good for the most part. I was worried that I was going to catch my husband's cold, but so far so good. We're taking a mini-vacation Thu-Sun of this coming week, so that's exciting. Once June rolls around we'll have to get serious about all this baby stuff.. and have various baby classes and the baby shower to squeeze in as well (plus a wedding to attend). Ahh!

28 weeks today. I was reading your post about being 30 weeks and I was like WOW that is so close to having the baby... then I realized I am only 2 weeks behind you... #panicattack!!!!

We just got home from the cabin today, we were there since Thursday. Tent sleeping on an air mattress was surprisingly comfortable!

29 weeks today. I can't believe it's the last week in the 20s! This is getting REAL! :-)

The nursery is slowly coming together. DH built the dresser this week, and other than airing out the weird smell it has (that new smell), I love it! So now we have the crib, dresser, shelf and glider all set (although the glider is in our room for now because it's super comfy to watch TV in!). We're basically in a waiting mode now until after the shower, which is in a little less than a month.

I had my last monthly visit this week and everything was fine. Although today I woke up with this crazy strange crampy pain at the top of my belly and shooting pain way down low. It went away after about 15 minutes and I chalked it up to sleeping in a weird position. But then it happened again (minus the sharp pain) just about a half an hour ago. I called the Dr (I'm a FTM and just slightly paranoid with all of this new uncharted territory) and he said that as long as it's only happening every few hours and it's not lasting longer than a half an hour, he's not worried and it's probably a contraction. WHAT?!? A contraction?!?! I mean, does he mean a Braxton Hicks thing (although I thought they weren't painful) or a real contraction? I do NOT want to be having contractions.......anyone else have anything like this going on??

I'm a teacher and I'm gearing up for a crazy 2 weeks of wrapping up school and then another week of professional development. I'm thankful for this job at the moment because even though I usually need a summer job to make up for the lack of 12-months of pay, I am not doing that this summer and can look forward to some down time before the baby comes.

I hope everyone has a great week!!!!! :-)

27 weeks today and excited to be off from work both Monday and Friday. Hooray for a three day work week and a trip to Saratoga! I'm feeling pretty good and the nursery is in great shape. Have a great week everyone!

30 weeks today! Crazy that my due date is only 10 weeks away! We have the nursery about 1/2 way done and just ordered our car seat and stroller for a great deal (20% off Bob and Britax at BRU this wknd!). Definitely getting more fatigued but still feeling pretty good. Went on a 3.5 mile walk in the heat just now and it was a struggle!! Here's to a long summer! Have a good one ladies

30 weeks here too. I can't believe how fast this is going. I bought a few more sleepers last week. That's all I've really done to prepare. We have a few things going on in the next month, so I'll probably do most of my baby prep in early July. I don't really have much to do since this is number 2.

28 weeks today and officially in the 3rd tri! Can't believe how fast time is flying! I still feel like there is still so much time left but it will be here before we know it! I only have 4 days left of school and then summer break and maternity leave so almost 6 months off!! Summer will really be crunch time! We have classes planned for June and July and shower is in 2 weeks, can't wait!

I had a moment of OMG too. Saw my ticker say 29 weeks and thought it was wrong for a second. Both my previous boys were exactly a week early and if this is the case again, I have only 10 weeks left! We are finally back in our home. Construction is not done but after 2 months living with my parents it is so good to be home. We painted the nursery and the crib is being reassembled, etc. Passed my 3 hour GD test thankfully and it was not as bad as I was expecting. Not sleeping well lately as I get up more to pee and my hips are more sore with side lying, We went camping this weekend and the boys loved it but I pushed my body too hard prepping for it and ended up with severe back pain, pelvic pressure and spotting. Listen to your bodies ladies! Start my two week check ins tomorrow....can't believe it. Hope everyone has a happy healthy week!
