Hello ladies! So exciting to have @marnief and @andimegie325 leave us to have their babies!

As for me, coming up on 39weeks on weds and hoping to make it through this week at work. Planning to wrap up on the 16th (I work tues-sat) and then taking any time I have left to get last minute baby stuff in order.
Not much else going on, the usual complaints, but nothing out of the norm. Appt tomorrow AM, so I'll see then if we are making any progress.

QOTW: not planning too much, but I did get a pedicure today (my first in ages) and I'm hoping I can get a haircut in too. I would have loved a massage, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

Hi ladies! I assume my glucose test went fine because the doctor's office never called. No news is good news. I go in Thursday for my normal check up and then we move to appointments every two weeks! I hope I get a growth scan ultrasound at some point because I would love to see the little man.

QOTW: I have gotten a couple prenatal massages and they have been divine. My legs cramp at night, my hips hurt, and I'm starting to really feel the body changes now that I'm in the 3rd tri. I love the pedicure idea too, @emcarl24 !

Hi - 37 weeks today. This is my last week at work, but I could've gone out last Monday. Had my baby shower on Sunday. I'm really glad I didn't buy any clothes aside from the newborn gowns. I got tons of cute toys, books and clothes, but very little useful items (a few pkgs of diapers, wipes, and shampoo). I'm really glad I took advice and bought the necessities instead of the cute clothes, or I'd be nowhere ready for this baby in a few weeks. I have a few small purchases to make, but nothing overwhelming. This week, I'm getting my teeth cleaned, my car in for service and cleaning, and the carpets upstairs cleaned so I don't have to deal with this stuff with a new baby. I'm exhausted, but doing ok.

So exciting 3 new mommies!! Congrats ladies if you are checking up on us, but we know you are busy snuggling those new babies!!

I have a growth u/s on Friday!! Soooo excited! Going to try for a 2VBAC if baby girl doesn't get too big! But c/s is a definite for 39 weeks which is near Valentine's Day! I am really hoping she comes on or near the 7th! I don't know why that date is stuck in my head. She needs to come out bc I have this fear something will happen to her in there. 6th pregnancy and so far 2 Healthy boys....she will make our family complete. I was cutting tags off bows and thinking how will I return these if something happens to her....please tell my IF and loss brain to go away!

QOTW: I had a massage scheduled for tomorrow, but they had to reschedule for next Friday. I need it as I am miserable barely sleeping. Shoulders hurt, restless legs, peeing average of 7 times a night.

Good luck this week everyone!!

Hello,am 34w3d today. Saw ob and will be putting an induction on the books for early February, but she expects me to go on my own in the next couple of weeks. I want these girls to grow as much as they can in there but the last few weeks have been hard. I gained 8 lbs of swelling since my last visit and it is getting harder to move around. I think I will have to leave work early since I am on my feet a lot and he tells me that they can't cut back my work load any.

QOTW- I wil get a haircut next week if I don't go into labor and I have been soaking in the tub most nights to make my joints feel
Better.

Hey ladies... I am effing tired, and cranky, and sore. STILL not throwing in the towel. I am bound and determined to have a February baby. I am toughing out the next 18 days. Or maybe I will spend them in bed, crying, with icecream and waffles? I don't know. I'm not doing anything special. 


Hope you're all chugging along.
