I'll get this party started this week

Questions:
1) How far along?
36w and 1d!!! Wow!

2) Any appointments this week?
This Friday we have our first weekly appointment... which is a good thing because...

3) How are you feeling?

Let the games begin Had a false alarm on Friday when diarrhea and discharge in the morning followed by contractions in the evening. The contractions were confusing because they were 10min apart lasting 20seconds. After an hour they went away... but sure had us double checking our hospital bag and fidgeting nervously with the car keys. Little Sky is head down in the birth canal and ready to see the world at any moment... and our poor surrogate is sure feeling it too. Swollen feet and ankles, pregnancy carpel tunnel, hot all the time, peeing constantly, and feels like the baby is going to fall right out of her when she walks. Oy!

On the home front, DH and I spent the weekend preparing the house and nesting up a storm. Planted our garden full of baby food veggies for the fall. Landscaped. Fresh bedding in the chicken coop (our hens will start laying soon too! Exciting!)... and most exciting of all!!!!!! Our nursery is finally done!!! With the help of my best friend and MIL we got it done

@KevinandJesse, love it!!

Hello all!!

1) How far along? 30w4d

2) Any appointments this week?
Just had one this afternoon. All looks good. I've gained 20lbs. Dr wanted about 35. It is what it is. I'm happy with what I gained so far. I go for a sono on July 2nd. Yaaa! Can't wait to see my little girl.

3) How are you feeling? Pregnant and hot. Very freaking hot.

So my obgyn thinks she's going to be about 7lbs. And he has me as high risk because of ivf. So we are inducing at 39w. Shit just got real. Ahhh! Had my family shower this past weekend. Got tons of stuff.

Qotw: here is my nursery and last sono...

35 weeks tomorrow, appointment this Friday.
I'd say within the last week I've gotten more uncomfortable, I feel like my hands and feet are stiff. I also feel like baby boy is really low, I'm hoping they can tell me more Friday. Our nursery is ALMOST done, I'll post a picture once it is

CaringCat

Hey Ladies -
I'm 36w4d!! I'm feeling pretty good aside from lower back aches and swollen ankles! Still sleeping really well. I'm very happy about that! I had an OB appt a few days ago. Baby is head down, ready to go. I was 1cm dilated and slightly effaced. Who knows if that means really anything at this point!

Our nursery is our bedroom!! We have half the room and he'll have the other. I so wish we lived in more than a 1bd apt but we made it work. These are the only pics I have right now. The crib mobile is missing and the changing table on the left. We also strung ABC cards that are woodland themed along the ceiling.

And here's a baby pic from our 4d us I like to stare at in amazement most nights!

Have a great week!

Hi all! Currently 32 weeks 4 days. Sooo close to goal delivery date of 34 weeks. However, idk if I'll make it. I'm exhausted. My body is slowly giving up. 9 weeks on hospital bed rest is finally taking it's toll. I'm pretty crampy today but it's a constant crampy so who knows. I'm just taking it hour by hour and day by day for the time being!

QOTW: Well I have no nursery pictures because I don't have the nursery done yet. We are doing a navy blue, light blue, grey and white them with chevron patterns. Also, throwing in some elephants here and there but nothing overboard. I'll attach my last two sono pictures before my water broke. Now, the sonos are hard to make out with low fluid. It's my only 3d photo I have and my stinking anterior placenta took up a portion of the picture lol

Everyone's nursery/sono pictures are so adorable

TLooney17

I am 30 weeks and 5 days today. No appointments this week, but I have one next Monday. I am feeling good. I have started to have  a lot more indigestion though.

QOTW: I only have pictures of part of the nursery. We are going totally princess with a Cinderella mural, and Cinderella's castle is also painted on one wall. We have a pink chandelier and white furniture. I will post pics of everything else when it is finished. My mom paints children's murals, so the painting is all her work.

1) How far along? 33w3d

2) Any appointments this week?
I had an appt. with OB yesterday afternoon. Both babies are looking good and measuring in the 50th precentile.

3) How are you feeling? Big and tired and everything hurts.

OB and MFM don't want me to go past 38 weeks, but she said we can try VBAC if baby B is transverse and back up. She will not induce me so i have to go in labor all on my own before the c-section. 

Edit: forgot the QOTD, we have crib set up in our room. I still have to get the crib sheet and dust ruffle. we got DD a twin captain bed two weeks ago. we are not painting anything on the walls, since we will be moving in few months.

34+2 - OB visit yesterday, MFM today for NST, all looks good.  Cervix is closed so looks like the babies are cooking a while longer.  Belly measuring at 40 weeks :-(  My hands and feet are super swollen and I am not sleeping well at all.  I know they should stay in there, but I really really am looking forward to this pregnancy being over with...

QOTW:  We are going with an ocean theme in the twins' room.  Below is a photo of two of the wood cutouts my mom painted for the babies.

1) How far along? I am 34 weeks exactly today!
2) Any appointments this week? My next appointment is next Monday. Hoping to find out that the baby is now head down..... fingers crossed.
3) How are you feeling? I hate to do this buuuuuuut, I'm feeling TERRIBLE. I'm so emotional, I cry all the time out of frustration and pain. My baby is super active and punching or kicking the same spot over and over and it's really painful at this point. I can't sleep. Hope these 6 weeks fly!

QOTD: I will post a photo of the nursery in a bit. I just asked my husband to send me one he took. It's not completely done, but almost

TLooney17  We have the same chandelier in white! Love it. And your mom's so talented. How special to have her paintings in your nursery.

@Justone13 You seem like you might have a bit of interior decorator in you. I love how you put everything together. Looks beautiful!

Some of the clutter will come out (swings/chairs) but this is a picture of most of it. 

J&D2007

I love all the pics! I'm 31+2 and doing quite well. I have my shower this weekend that I'm pretty excited about. Then a mfm appt Monday for low lying placenta to see if I'll need a c/s. I'll try to attach u/s picture, but it may be huge:-(
