35 weeks - mini lop rabbit or a pineapple
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
BH 6 min apart for 3 hours was rather frustrating last night. I really really hope that is not the new norm for me for the next 5+/- weeks. I'm having "shit is getting real" moments like everyday lately. It's exciting and terrifying!
Anything baby-related this week?
Moving DDs car seat to make room for LO's, even though I probably won't get it pulled out of storage and cleaned until next week.

I want this LO to have my SO's blue eyes and perfect teeth, but not his laziness!
34 weeks, butternut squash
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Lots of nauseousness and vomiting all weekend. Ended up in L&D Saturday but everything looked good with the baby and no contractions so they sent me home. I had a doctors appointment today and they said if I couldn't keep anything down through today to come back in to get IV fluids. Apparently this is normal right now for end of pregnancy. They also gave me diclegis to try for the nausea. No swelling or protein in urine, but I just want to be sure the baby is getting enough nutrients

Hoping to finish packing the hospital bag but I've really been dragging my feet for some reason.

I want this LO to have my my positive outlook on things, but not my shyness.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Today I feel good but have been dealing with a lot of low back/ SI joint pain. My dizziness has improved thanks to drinking a ton more water. BH have also lessened.
Anything baby-related this week? Baby class #4 tonight (we are watching "the video" and taking a tour of the hospital). And my labor talk is on Monday where we discuss the birth plan with the OB. We are continuing to clean and try to get our apartment ready for my surprise shower.
GTKY: Fill in the blanks: "I want this LO to have my intelligence and drive to succeed, but not my family history of substance abuse (not personal, just family history so I'm hoping for the best)." (You can also do this about your DH/SO, if you like.)
34, butternut squash
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Woke up the past two evenings choking on my own vomit... reflux is for the birds! Getting comfortable enough to sleep with all the hip and back pain is difficult enough... having to get up to pee and puke isn't helping!
Anything baby-related this week?
Finished painting the nursery yesterday - yay! I ordered all of the decals plus bedding and a few last-minute items off of Etsy and Amazon today, so hopefully most everything should be set up and ready to go by the end of next week! Also I downloaded all of the prints I want to hang in the nursery - hoping DH prints them off for me tonight/an evening this week so I can work on framing them and designing a gallery wall.
GTKY: Fill in the blanks: "I want this LO to have my ________, but not my __________." (You can also do this about your DH/SO, if you like.)
I want this LO to have my smile and talent for music, but not my horrible allergies nor my naivety. I want this LO to have my DH's genuineness, sensitivity and dark handsome good looks, but not his tendency to obsess over money or his short temper.
33 weeks, size of a pineapple
Rants/Raves/Symptoms:
Noticing my belly getting bigger and bigger, which I don't mind too much... but I looked past my belly today and my feet look so weird being all swollen!
Tired almost all the time due to not sleeping well. Sore hips/back and heart burn tend to wake me up every hour or so.

Dr apt next week, so this week is just full of the giggles I get when I feel LO move around.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: A lot more nausea in the past week and reflux, more back pain too. Tomorrow our recliner/glider is coming, I think I may live in it
Anything baby related this week? Had an appointment today and got my tdap. I was supposed to go to weekly appointments after this but based on everything going well thus far it's another two weeks till I see her again. Also got my maternity photos back, a slideshow to music was included and I may have cried a little. On Friday we are installing the car seat, setting up where he's sleeping in our room and hanging some of the nursery art work.
GTKY:
I want this LO to have my comfort in my own skin but not my impatience with other people
