1. How far along are you? 35+1 (Thursday ticket change)

2. How big is baby? Over 18" and over 5lbs, wow! The comparisons are a pineapple or a bunch of carrots. 

3. Team pink, blue, or green? Blue!! 

4. Appts this week? We have our all day labor and deliver class tomorrow, and then I have tons of appts next week for the 36 week mark... my routine 36 week appt, my consent class (paperwork etc), breast feeding class, and baby basics class with DH.

5. Symptoms: I am having some muscle tension in my back from a lopsided bump, and my sleeping is terrible this week! My Fitbit says I was awake 10 times and restless 30 times ugh. I'm also peeing all the time. Overall I feel pretty good though! 

6. Rant/raves: the whole sex thing I guess for me too. Its been a big topic on the boards haha. I am not really in to it and we have done it very little this pregnancy between it not being as good and my husband deploying, but now I want to get back in to it only for the prostaglandins and cervical ripening haha. Is that a good enough reason to try?

7. What have you accomplished this week to prepare for baby? I ordered nursing bras and bought a few pair of lounge pants for the rest of pregnancy and postpartum. My baby stuff is basically all set. Waiting a couple weeks to start freezer meals and baby laundry. 

8. If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything what would it be? I would tell my PGAL self to relax and that everything would turn out ok! It took me until about 18 weeks to trust this baby would stick around.

1. How far along are you? 35+1 (we made it!)

2. How big is baby? Apparently they are pineapples... but I think they're 8 heads in a dufflebag

3. Team pink, blue or green? blue times 2

4. Appts this week? Too many! Haha.  NST on Monday, impromptu visit on Tuesday for chest pains which turned into an overnight at the hospital (testing for pre-eclampsia), and another NST on Thursday.

5. Symptoms? The swelling has hit in the last week or so. Ankles and thighs.  I've been having carpal tunnel and I'm either used to it by now or it's dissipated a little.  Rapid weight gain in the last week.  Movement has decreased but is still there (I get neurotic about this.)  

6. Rants/Raves? Raving about the nurses that I've had all along this way.  They have been kind, hilarious, caring, it's been awesome.  

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby? Hospital bag packed, boys' bag packed, house clean - we're ready!

8. If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be?  Nothing, this has been a great pregnancy!

@super_sam03, and now you're a mommy!!!!

@Taylor72, thanks for picking up my slack!  I'm exhausted by the time I get home from work on Thursdays and keep forgetting!

1. How far along are you? 33 (+3)

2. How big is baby? They say a pineapple, but I'm measuring 3 weeks head.

3. Team pink, blue or green? Green!

4. Appts this week? Had a check up on Friday, midwife is sending me for an u/s on Tuesday because of my measurements.

5. Symptoms? Ew, I had the stomach flu last week.  It was awful.  Other than that, just occasional nausea, tired, out of breath, but grateful baby is still doing good.

6. Rants/Raves? *sigh*  I'm trying to enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy knowing that this is my last.

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby?  Well, I thought about getting the carseat and pack n play out of their boxes.  Does that count for anything?

8. If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? Hang in there.  Pregnancy sucks, but you know it ends!

Friday

1. How far along are you? 33 weeks

2. How big is baby? Pineapple, celery

3. Team pink, blue or green? Blue

4. Appts this week? Had one on Friday, everything looks good. Had to reschedule one of my appointments for the 3rd time! I have my strep test at my 37 week appointment and internal checks will begin then as well.

5. Symptoms? Fatigue more than anything. I came down with my first cold in over a year so that's been fun.

6. Rants/Raves? Technically this should be on next weeks, but... Rave, had my baby shower yesterday. My SIL did an amazing job, several things were pinterest worthy and I don't think anyone I know could have done a better job.

7. What did you accomplish this week to prepare for baby? Placed an order for cloth diaper accessories, which included a free newborn diaper when you spent so much. I also worked on organizing the nursery a bit more. We have still yet to get everything up on the walls, but we have the majority of the decor items.

8. If you could go back and tell your first trimester self anything, what would it be? Exercise and eat better. I wish I would have tried harder to get into shape, I've gained 34 pounds and would have loved to have kept it around 15-20 like my Dr wanted, but I love my sweets and haven't put in any extra effort to be fit. Now I'm just planning to do better after baby is here and lose the weight somewhat quickly.
