Let me know if you all don't want to keep doing these, I thought I would give it a shot anyway so we can get a little extra support as we're closing in on September!

Weeks/ size of baby: 

Next milestone/appointment? 

Rant/Rave/Anything else: 

Questions? 

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters?

Weeks/ size of baby: 37, and romaine lettuce I guess?

Next milestone/appointment? I have an appointment tomorrow, interested to see if I have added any dilation to my effacement. I am definitely one of those people who wants to know every excruciating detail, even if it ultimately does not mean much in terms of when the baby is coming.

Rant/Rave/Anything else: At the end of last week, I was having regular contractions and the doc thought the baby might make an early appearance. I was excited and scared. Now I feel totally fine. No more contractions, not even really fatigue. I am resigning myself to possibly holding onto this baby until 41 weeks. I want to think I will feel like everything is totally fine after the baby comes out, and I'll stop worrying forever, which I am sure is ridiculous, but it's hard not to be anxious!

Questions? Do any of you want to keep doing check ins? I know our numbers are getting smaller as people have their babies (yay!).

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters? Ghostbusters! It was totally awesome. I loved it. I want to see Star Trek (born and raised Trekkie), but it's hard to talk myself into going to the movies when I know I will have to stumble around in the dark theater to get up and go to the bathroom every few minutes.

Weeks/ size of baby: 36w 3d; size of a cantaloupe

Next milestone/appointment? I start weekly appointments next Wednesday (can't believe I only have 3 more appts before my due date!)

Rant/Rave/Anything else: I still have hardly anything completely ready for baby and it is starting to stress me out a little. None of LO's furniture is in the nursery yet (still have to get the crib from my mom and get the bed and vanity out of there to move in the other furniture) and it is not decorated yet, don't have bags packed for myself or LO, PnP is not set up in our bedroom for the baby to sleep in... I really need to get going on that stuff!

Questions? Anybody else feeling as unprepared as I am?

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters? DH and I went to see Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates the weekend before last, I can't believe I made it through the whole thing without having to get up to pee!

Weeks/ size of baby: 37w4d

Next milestone/appointment? Milestone: having baby, whenever that happens! Appointment next week.

Rant/Rave/Anything else: I am feeling well and starting to get a bit more confident on baby's viability. I know she could come any minute and be fine but I'm hoping she hangs in there for a couple more weeks. I was having pretty strong BH off and on last week, had some brown discharge a few days ago (that surprisingly didn't freak me out) but no MP, unless that was part of it, or other signs. Contractions have been gone recently but I had some annoying ones that woke me up this morning and I felt in my back for a couple hours. My anxiety is pretty strong, when I'm not worried about baby's well-being, I'm worried about something else.

Questions? 

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters? can't even remember! Have I been to the movies since being pregnant? Lol idk, I'm boring.

Weeks/ size of baby: 

38 + 3; winter melons!

Next milestone/appointment? 

I get to meet my babies tomorrow!  C-section at 11:30!

Rant/Rave/Anything else: 

I'm so, so swollen from the thighs down.  The weight of the babies is acting like a one-way valve and the fluid can't come back out once it goes past my pelvis.  It sucks.

Questions? 

Nope!

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters?

I don't remember.  I know I was pregnant (I've seen at least 3 movies during my pregnancy).  The last one I remember seeing was Zoolander 2, but I feel like we saw something else after that.

@MojieJo so excited for you!!! Also for all of us to hopefully see pics of your sweet babies. I hope you can get some rest today! 

cmiska

I haven't done a check in since  the beginning of my pregnancy but am looking for activities to pass the time

Weeks/ size of baby: 38+5, ukulele (according to my Ovia app) 

Next milestone/appointment? Thursday and hopefully my last! 

Rant/Rave/Anything else: my husband is studying for a promotional test which he will take at the end of September and it's just annoying timing. I want him to focus on studying but it's hard not to also want him to focus on the last little
bit of pregnancy and the baby coming. 

Questions? Is membrane sweeping safe? Effective? 

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters? Bad Moms. So funny! (No idea why I can't turn italics off)  

MojieJo

@jas1982 Thank you!  I still can't believe it's almost time to meet them.  It still hasn't completely sunk in that we've almost made it to the finish line.

Prof=Mom

Weeks/ size of baby: 35w2d

Next milestone/appointment? Cerclage removal, negotiating another week before getting it removed. This kid is gonna hit eject once he sees the exit is clear.

Rant/Rave/Anything else: Meh. Doing my best to keep kicking but and take names in terms of nesting by delegation. But my goals are extremely scaled back.

Questions? When is this stupid election over? 

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters? We went on a day date to see Captain America Civil War

Prof=Mom

@MojieJo you are all gonna do great. Praying for a fast, full recovery too!

MojieJo

Thank you @Prof=Mom!

abberson

Weeks/ size of baby: 35 weeks, a pineapple

Next milestone/appointment? growth u/s on weds

Rant/Rave/Anything else: All the babies are making me reflect on this pregnancy since we're so close to the end. I have a lot of feels, especially about the fears from the first trimester+. I'm going to stop taking my baby aspirin supplement soon to get ready for the c section. It's all getting so real. More (other people's) babies coming today! Can't wait to see yours @MojieJo !

Questions? I'm always up for a check in. 

GTKY: What is the last movie you saw in theaters? Zootopia (no grown up movies in a long time!)
