Were in the hospital both doing fine. My blood pressure elevates and they want to induce the next time my diastolic goes above 100. In this hospital bed staying on my left side because that's when I have great readings.

Oh man, that has to be hard. You are doing a good job keeping her in there!
DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI! Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!
My real moment was super early on when we saw his first ultrasound and got to her his heartbeat. Just a tiny blob on the screen back then. Subsequent moments were more like a confirmation and oh, we are getting closer-kind.
Thinking of you @kristendholmes When my OB started talking about an early C section at 36 or 37 weeks if my placenta previa doesn't move. That means I could actually have this little one next month! FX I won't but sh*t got real.
I also clicked this hoping @VikingGirl12 was not in labor!
I'm totally still in denial. I have waaaay too much going to accept that this child, if she follows in DS' footsteps, will be here in less than 10 weeks. I look down at my stomach and wonder why it's so large and I already can't see my feet. I'm thinking maybe a few days from now at 30 weeks it could really hit, but I don't know. I think I need that moment to give me the kick in the pants to really figure out the breast pump with my insurance, a breastfeeding class, if we're going to keep the infant carseat up in the attic or buy a new one, get a new pack 'n' play, and decide which carrier to purchase.
Forgot about this thread.... And accidentally posted my moment in Randoms.. Oops! H is nesting hardcore, I'm being lazy but had a minor moment last night.

Meeting with MFM specialist this week to decide if I deliver at 36 or 37 weeks should my PP not shift (which they think is unlikely). That means my baby could potentially be here NEXT month!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH! Sh*t got real!
I picked up some things for the diaper bag and started putting stuff in it. Shit just got real.
and then I ugly cried when I put the NB diapers in because DS fit in them once and they are SO SMALL (they only fit for like 3 days, but still)
This will be me next week. I have to finish some projects first, but the diaper bag and hospital bags are next on my list
But I definitely ugly cried when I bought NB diapers... They're so tiny!!!! My niece was in preemie for a couple weeks (but she was only 3 ish weeks early) then in NB for about 4 weeks. She was an odd little thing
You guys are already packing your hospital bag?? What!!
I'm due June 5th. My theory is if I don't do it now, I'll totally forget about it and then show up at the hospital with nothing because I saw a shiny penny and got sidetracked lol.
I can barely put my stuff in the laundry bag not to mind accept that I have to pack a hospital bag at some time! With DD, I had one packed but my husband left it in the car when we went in so all my stuff was shoved in a plastic bag. I had nothing I needed
I'll probably pack mine next weekend..at least just a few basics I can live without. I'll get all my travel size toiletries this week at target. I went into labor in my 36th week last time, so I'll just feel better having my bag semi-ready around 32 weeks.
Anyone else keep creeping on this thread thinking at some point over the next few weeks someone's just going to post a newborn pic, like "*bam*. Now sh*t got real." ?

@VikingGirl12 and @Huskerfanz your situations make sense why you would have a bag packed. I'm also not due until the end of June, and since my mom had all three of kids later than the due dates, I'm in denial I will go early. I figured I will have it packed by the beginning of June.
We don't have anything for the baby yet anyway! A few outfits and the room is painted. that's it. My shower isn't until the end of May. Like I said in one of the shower threads, some of you will have your babies before I have my shower.
I really should pack soon, but that would make it feel more real so I'm procrastinating. With my first, I litterally had packed the day before going into labor early at 34 weeks. It's like my body knew. I finished his nursery the day before too - I was adjusting the tabs on and hanging up the valence for his curtains just a few hours before my water broke

This is exactly my situation. Shower is at end of May, due date is end of June. I'm expecting to go at least a week overdue. Shit got real for me today when I heard that a friend delivered her baby last night. She was 37 weeks so she was close enough to full-term and everyone is fine, but it made me realize that I don't have a single contingency plan in place if I deliver before my due date. We don't even have a nursery set up yet!
I've convinced myself I'm going through to 42 weeks (July 8th) with how stubborn this baby has been. I probably should stop that since I have a feeling that if I'm not prepared, she'll decide to come early/on time....H needs the small suitcase I plan to use as my hospital bag in 2 weeks (I'll be 31 weeks) so maybe I'll pack something after that...maybe...

I was induced with our first at 41+5, so it could happen!!
I am still in such a deep seated denial not only about giving birth but about giving birth to two babies!! I keep thinking that will sink in soon (you know, since I feel kicking all over my stomach, all the time!) But nope, still in complete denial about the whole thing! And they'll be here in 8 weeks! Seriously!!!

With my first I had convinced myself that I would go the average FTM amount of 10 days past due. When I woke up the morning of 40+1 and my water had broken I actually told my dad on the phone I still had 9 days left and this wasn't suppose to be happening yet. I had started a bag but still had to pack a lot. Luckily my CTX didn't start immediately and I was able to get some stuff done before we took off. With my second we scheduled an induction for 39+3 because of my hospital being so far away. I packed a bag the night before. Thank god we had planned that because I woke that morning in labor and my water broke on the way to the hospital. My labor was very quick with him so by the time I would have decided to go in and packed a bag I likely would have had him on the side of the road. Needless to say I will be packing a bag pretty soon. Nobody gets that lucky 3 times
Since I know literally nothing... what kind of bag are you guys using to take to the hospital? Do most people use a suitcase? a duffel bag? something else? Now that people are saying we should be packed around 32 weeks and I'm 32 weeks, i'm having a heart attack.

I recommend whatever type of bag you would prefer for a weekend getaway.

Also 32 weeks and haven't packed a thing. Solidarity.

I have a duffle bag that I got from 31 gifts that I use anytime I go somewhere overnight. It's has tons of room for my stuff as well as baby's and has my name embroidered on it. That's what I'll be using.

And I just gave myself major anxiety.

With DS, I started packing what I didn't use pretty early.

For real though, that'd be hilarious.

I'll probably use a duffel bag.
