37 weeks today! I had a doctor appointment and I am measuring at 35 weeks. The midwife didn't seem concerned and since this isn't the first time, I'm not really concerned either. He has moved down lower, I can tell! He's also been hitting my sciatic nerve, which is not pleasant. My midwife suggested I get down on my hands and knees and rock back and forth, so I've been trying that. It seems to have worked a bit.

QOTW: I am looking forward to seeing what he looks like. I am looking forward to the love I am going to feel.  I am also looking forward to seeing how he grows up and what he does with his life.

Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS @KidShrink. You're little man is handsome. I hope all is well, I know you said they discovered some health issues with you.

@AdorkablePixie I just started my 3rd trimester so I am happy to volunteer as the leader starting next week since I'll be here for the next couple months  

29 weeks this week! Not too much new this week and no appointments until week 32. Oddly enough, I like going to see my doctor so I was hoping he'd have me start coming in every 2 weeks like I guess we're 'supposed' to do in the 3rd trimester. He said since baby and I are doing well, that 4 weeks would be fine to come back in. At our appointment last week, Baby was measuring ahead like usual   81%ile for weight at this point weighing in at approx. 2 lbs 4 oz hehe. Crazy how they can make these estimations!

QOTW: I am sooo looking forward to meeting our LO and getting to know his/her little personality. I already feel like I am getting to know him/her so much more now that I can feel his/her movement so much  My DH and I have wanted a family for so long, we just can't wait til we have this little person to love!

@KidShrink Congratulations! I didn't know you had your baby All the best to you and your family!

36+2 but 3 weeks from now our son will be here! Eeeeek! It still seems so far but it's so close! OB said I'm at the top of the weight gain again today. I wanted to tell him to shut up, I don't care! 

Qotw: looking forward to giving him a name!!! And seeing what he looks like. If he looks like his big sis or not. 

@KidShrink  congrats on baby Elliot! He's adorable! 

krbjoy

@KidShrink congrats on baby Elliot! What a cutie pie. Hope you are doing well!!

@mechelita44 That would be great because I am surprised I even remembered to do this. lol Welcome to the third trimester!

Binnie505

Hi ladies. 34 weeks and everything is going good. From next week the weekly OB visit and ultrasounds starts. 

I am looking forward to being a new mom. Should be a great learning experience  

PS: I just noticed that my EDD is listed incorrectly. It should be 6/12/16. No big deal though as the baby will come whenever she is ready lol.

mclorn

I'm also 34 weeks!  They are both hovering around the 25th percentile, and I'm okay with them being peanuts right night!  Almost 10 pounds of baby and although my cervix is still totally closed there is a lot of weight and pressure down there!  I was told no intercourse, no working out, and walk only when needed.  Trying to keep them in their as long as possible I guess!  Both are still head down so that's exciting.  Although it is what it is so I'm not overthinking anything too much.  Just curious as to how it all plays out!  I go in every Monday now for OB appointments and also start NST next week.  I actually feel fine and have no complaints at this time.  Fingers crossed.

QOTW:  Honestly I feel most excited about watching DH become a daddy and being parents together!  What a special bond!

AdorkablePixie

@mclorn I can't wait to see my DH be a daddy too. I really hope someone gets a picture of him when he first lays eyes on LO and when he holds him the first time. He is going to be SUCH A GOOD DAD. I can't wait.

Hi ladies!! I hope everyone is feeling great!!  34 weeks today and officially starting to get super nervous about labor and delivery!!  Going for my 34 week appointment on Monday, I anticipate everything will be just fine, as I am still feeling half way decent, although the extreme exhaustion has set back in.  fun times

looking forward to seeing all our beautiful babies soon congratulations @krbjoy and @kidshrink!!!!
