Re: @@Thursday Ticker Change@@
Best part of your week? Baby snuggles! And her cord fell off already so she had a real bath last night- despite her hating it, she smelled so good. I need to bottle up baby smell.
Worst part of your week? She thought nursing every 1.5 hours overnight would be a grand idea (it's not really- she had been doing more towards 2-2.5 hours) and I'm exhausted.
Milestones? She gained 2 ounces at her weight check!
QOTW: What do you look forward to doing with LO during the upcoming holidays? Showing her off to family and getting to spend it all together.
PIP those kiddos!
Best part of week: Getting to hold Connor and Kade at the same time. Connor made 4 lbs and has the lid off his box in the NICU.
Worst part of week: both boys are still having Brady incidents. There is a shortage on donor breast milk here and the boys had to go to formula to supplement my breast milk.
Milestones: Connor's 4 lbs. maybe Kade will get there today?....
Holidays: hopefully we will have the boys home before Christmas. I am looking forward to wigilia on Christmas Eve and a quite christmas with my husband and the boys. We will do the rowdy Christmas Day next year when the boys (and their parents) are up for a big family event. However I am excited to introduce the boys to their cousins around the holidays. They have 7 cousins within a 2 hour radius.
PIP: Connor then Kade
Mommies to Be:
Week/Fruit: 33/Durian fruit (what the heck is that??? LOL!)
How are you feeling? Belly is getting heavier....and heartburn is a constant! But other than that, awesome & excited to meet this little girl!
Appointments/Updates? None this week
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not this week
Rants/Raves: My mom is the best! I had a dresser/hutch/changing table that I used for DD that was a light wood color. I wanted all white furniture for this LO, so my mom took it upon herself to strip the varnish & color off the piece and paint it white. She is 71 years old, but you would never know it! I don't know what I'd do without her
QOTW: We're almost in December! What's on your to-do list for the month? OMG! Too much! DD's birthday (we are going to Disneyland...hope, at 9 months pregnant I can last!), mom's birthday (same day as DD's), Christmas, oh, and get the baby's room together...move remaining junk out of it, paint it, get curtains for windows, buy the crib, move the dresser/hutch over 30 miles from mom's house to ours, and find a minute to relax and prepare myself to become a mom again! Whew! I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
How are you feeling? All around pretty good. Baby is moving A LOT lately and it's uncomfortable but I think he/she is trying to get into position.
Appointments/Updates? Appointment yesterday with a surprise GBS test. I knew it was coming soon but wasn't prepared for it yesterday. Otherwise, BP is good, weight is good, and measuring right on track.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? So much that I can't even remember all of it.
Rants/Raves: Nothing really. But it'd definitely starting to feel like crunch time.
QOTW: We're almost in December! What's on your to-do list for the month? Sooo much. -Finish the nursery (curtains, window bench cushion, organize closets, decorate), put the car seat in the car, pack a hospital bag.

How are you feeling? Exhausted..I don't sleep well at night.
Appointments/Updates? Baby is estimated at 5lbs 2oz! Growing well and did well on non-stress and bio physical profile this week.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I received a beautiful hand made blanket from my DH's Aunt in the mail and the toddler conversion kit for the crib from family friends this week.
Rants/Raves: Rave! DH made me breakfast in bed this morning. I have never had that in my life so it of course makes me tear up thinking about it right now. Was very sweet.
QOTW: We're almost in December! What's on your to-do list for the month? I give birth on Dec. 18th so baby is the biggest thing. We need to install the carseat, finish packing and build the pack and play. I also need to finish washing babies stuff. Getting scared but excited at the same time. Can't wait to know if this team green baby is a boy or girl. :-)
Week/Fruit:
32/ Squash
How are you feeling?
Not bad. I had lots of BH yesterday so I'm trying to take it easy today. And by easy I apparently mean cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner.
Appointments/Updates?
Next appointment is Tuesday. We have our first 5 hour birthing class on Wednesday but DH forgot and scheduled a business trip so I'll probably be going alone.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently?
I got an adorable elephant shaped laundry hamper from my aunt.
Rants/Raves:
No rants today. It's Thanksgiving.
Rave: I love this time of year.
QOTW: We're almost in December! What's on your to-do list for the month?
Baby shower, visit from parents, cleaning out nursery, painting, putting together furniture. Pretty much all the things. Oh yeah, and Christmas.
I'm late since I was on the road all yesterday, but I still wanted to play
Week/Fruit: 35/Coconut
How are you feeling? Still feeling pretty good. Definitely noticing that I'm more tired/need more sleep.
Appointments/Updates? Next appointment is on Dec. 2. I'm pretty sure I get my GBS test that day...and I definitely get my TDAP that day. Should be fun!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I went last weekend and got a diaper pail. And my mom bought a cute little duck themed sleeper thing.
Rants/Raves: Rave: I'm feeling very lucky that I still haven't had heartburn and I'm still getting around fairly well.
Rant: I feel like it's a bit early to be feeling this way, but I'm definitely over being pregnant. I just want to meet my little guy and have my husband home and start my maternity leave. I'm also deathly afraid of how far MIL will try to be up our asses once G is here. DH is her favorite child, G is her first grandson and only grandchild that she is "allowed" to see (SIL and her are not speaking). I only have 14 days with my little family as a whole and as much as I'm sure she wants to be there, I really don't want to deal with it.
QOTW: We're almost in December! What's on your to-do list for the month? Eek! Let's see...
1) Install car seat
2) Pack hospital bag
3) Buy a few more odds and ends (sheets, a laundry hamper, maybe a side table for next to the rocker in the nursery).
Better late than never, right?!
Week/Fruit: 32/Squash
How are you feeling? Heavy. Out of breath. Tired.
Appointments/Updates? No appointment until 12/09
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Since last week, nope.
Rants/Raves: We got our Christmas decorations up (still need to gather and put away all fall decorations)!!
QOTW: We're almost in December! What's on your to-do list for the month? Baby showers. Finishing up the nursery. Making sure we have everything!!
