How many weeks? 34

What size fruit/other is baby? butternut squash

Upcoming milestones/appointments had my 34w appt today.  Next week is my GBS swab.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms baby is very low so I'm all sorts of crampy and have had backaches and lightening crotch.  Oh the joys of the last trimester!

Oh, and a rant/things stupid people say - I was getting out of my car downtown today and some random woman was walking by.  She looked at me and said 'oh, its almost time! when are you due?" I said I had a month to go (she doesn't need to know exact lol) and she said "twins??" I looked right at her stupid face and said "nope" as rudely as possible and then walked away.  Like WTF? 

Questions

GTKY: What are you hoping to do before baby arrives?  I'm starting on my freezer meals this weekend

How many weeks? 35

What size fruit/other is baby? a coconut!

Upcoming milestones/appointments: Anxious for next week - we'll find out if we're inducing early (@ 37 weeks), and do a growth scan. A lot of mixed feelings - both hoping everything is okay, and kinda just ready to be done after the cluster duck this pregnancy has been.

Rants/Raves/Symptoms: The latest is itchy hands and feet, which was a bigger deal than I thought it was. I called my obgyn to see if cortiszone was okay, and ended up with a same day appointment and blood work, lol.  Thankfully the painful contractions have mostly stopped, so I am feeling a bit more human these days.

Also - I can't believe we are so close to dooooooone!! 

Questions - Seriously - why would anyone sign up for this twice?

GTKY: What are you hoping to do before baby arrives?  Charge my camera, and catch a video of him bouncing around in there. It's very visible these days, and pretty cool -  and that's something I can't get back!

If I had a really rough pregnancy than maybe I'd think differently but my pregnancy with DS was an "easy" one (typical pregnancy stuff but nothing too out of the ordinary).  And my labor and delivery was also pretty easy and uneventful (aside from the main event).  I also kind of love being pregnant.

That being said, DS was born at 36w 3d and this time with my cervix shortening by 30w and the baby dropping super low now at 34w even with the added progesterone (weekly shots since 11w and extra suppository as of 31w) I'm thinking my body just doesn't like carrying babies to term, so this is almost definitely my last baby.

Once you hold that baby in your arms for the very first time, a lot of the negative pregnancy associations get thrown out the window. I am on my fourth. I still have hard times and often think "what was I thinking"? But, I love babies and I know when I look into this little man's eyes, nothing will ever be able to top that feeling.
