Weeks/fruit - 36 weeks!!!! as big as a honeydew

Girl/Boy/Surprise - Boy Nicolas (Cole) 

Symptoms/cravings - root beer & milk, candy... candy, candy... DIPPIN' DOTS! ice. um... really anything you put in front of me i'll eat. (which btw dippin' dots are sodium free.. so suck on that swelling)

Rants- i'm sick of the swelling, i'm sick of not being able to get my pants on without seeming like i just did a 2 hour cardio session, i feel like i'm helpless when i'm doing stuff at home "Charley can you help me with this? Charley can you help me with that?" i know i can't do everything i used to do right now, but i just feel like a jerk and that i'm bossing my man around... 

raves - I do have an amazing man though (in reference to my rant.) He has been amazing during this whole thing, and even before. But this weekend-i just want to give him a little shout-out. My friend came over for the weekend to go to the baby shower and help out around the house with all the baby stuff. Charley cooked breakfast, cleaned the house while we were at the baby shower, took boxes to the trash, helped put together the heavy stuff, cooked dinner, went to the store, repaired a few things around the house, and watched the dogs all weekend. I'm so grateful to have this man in my life  

Doctor Appointments - Friday! I have my next (and last) three set up before my due date. All on Fridays.. let's do this. (also, i just want to mention.. last week i had my cervix checked for the first time... not the greatest thing...)

GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby? 
-I've got laundry to fold and put away
-Finish packing hospital bags
-Clean the house 
-find a spot for the mamaroo
-buy a few extra things i didn't get at the baby shower
-decide if i'm going to work until the big day, or start my leave on feb 1st (due date is feb 6 but i've been measuring 2 weeks ahead since 24 weeks)

I'm buying things here and there; clothes, bibs, socks, shoes etc.

Are you a FTM? I had my first cervix check last Tuesday... and honestly it hurt alot more than I thought it was going too. I was hoping I wasnt the only one. My little one is still breech and pretty high up. Maybe thats why?!

@g0lightly8706 lol I scheduled the cleaning lady to deep clean in 2 weeks I figure that will help put my mind at ease.

Yep same here! last week of January she's scheduled to come in. I have absolutely no energy and DH found a great deal so it'll definitely help for the peace of mind for a bit since i know once baby comes, cleaning is the last thing you want to do lol

Weeks/fruit - 33 weeks, durian (whatever that is!)

Girl/Boy/Surprise - surprise!

Symptoms/cravings - trouble sleeping, hip pain in bed. Haven't had any cravings, disappointing!

Rants - can't think of anything!

Raves - on the countdown to maternity leave which is exciting. The teacher taking over from me is slowly taking my timetable, so my teaching and marking load has been lessened a lot which is great!

Doctor Appointments - have midwife next week. We had our hospital ante natal course at the weekend which was eye opening!

GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby?

Pram and car seat arrived last week, so just little bits now. Started packing hospital bag so it all feels real now!

I am a FTM  

Mine is low and ready to go according to the dr... maybe it was just uncomfortable because i haven't had it done before and it wasn't what i was expecting. now i know for next time lol

VitaLuna

Weeks/fruit - 34/cantaloupe

Girl/Boy/Surprise - girl #2!

Symptoms/cravings - heartburn, SPD/pelvic pain, swelling. No cravings for the most part, except for root beer the last couple weeks. Contractions are getting pretty intense sometimes.

Rants - I was injured at work on Friday due to a falling patient. My weekend was miserable.. Everything hurt. We were on a mini vacation at the beach and I could hardly do anything. I'm seeing my MW this afternoon, but the nurse already said they won't take me off work for several more weeks. As the primary income, I don't WANT to be off, but the risk just isn't worth it. Sounds like my MW doesn't feel that way.

Doctor Appointments - today (see above). Was supposed to be Wednesday.

GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby? I need to make the car seat canopy, get some meals in the freezer, and finish out the last few things to buy (including diapers!)

Cheryl Renee

Weeks/fruit - 35 weeks/coconut

Girl/Boy/Surprise - Boy!

Symptoms/cravings - short of breath, zero energy, achy/pressure in abdomen and pelvic area and I've got a cold!

Rants/raves -  

Rant: I'm just over being pregnant, get this baby out of me already!  Tired of having to ask my husband for help with everything.  I literally started crying yesterday (I rarely cry) because I had to ask him to fix supper for us and I hate having to ask him to do things that I normally do.

Rave: I had my shower on Saturday and got lots of gift cards so now I get to go shopping!!!!  My husband is wonderful!

Doctor Appointments - next week, and then I start every week

GTKY - What do you have left to do from your to-do list for baby?

• pack a hospital bag.  somehow knowing that I have a scheduled c-section is making me less worried about packing early
• buy nursing bras
• set up the pack n play (he'll be sleeping in it in our room the first month or so)
• buy pack n play sheets
• get swing out and put it together (avoiding this b/c of having to keep our 2yr old off of it)
• get the car seat base out of storage and clean it
• hang pictures/curtains in baby room
