Rant/Rave/Questions? 

Still mad at myself for tripping and falling yesterday. But it sounds like this is pretty common so I am trying not to be too hard on myself. Thankful that baby has been very active since the fall so I am reassured that he's fine. I am just really starting to get impatient for him to be on the outside where I can SEE he's fine.

I've told my mom she can come in, but I am a little worried about how that will play out to be honest. She's not great under pressure. Then again, she's done this twice before (albeit 3 decades ago) so I am sure she'll have some useful advice. Especially since she pushed out an 11 lb baby without pain meds (my brother).

Appointments this week?  Regular one yesterday, BPP Thursday.  Yay twice a week appointments... Not like I have to work or anything

Symptoms? I feel like a million dollars today after not sleeping Sunday night.  If I didn't have a deadline looming I'd be nesting the shit out of my house.  Alas, I need a paycheck...

Rant/Rave/Questions? Not pregnancy related, but I'd really appreciate it if my kids stopped acting their ages.  We definitely either waited too long or didn't wait long enough with a terrible 2 year old and a threenager right now.  Question - how do you answer when people ask how you are feeling?  I appreciate that they are trying to show they care, but my canned response is "Ready".

GTKY: Will you have anyone else in the delivery room for support aside from your SO? Doctor and nurse.  I don't feel comfortable having anybody else see me that exposed, and I feel like it really is an amazing bonding opportunity with the SO (unless they are passing out in the corner, but we won't talk about that...)

How big is baby? romaine lettuce

Appointments this week? had a growth ultrasound Monday, she's weighing in at 6 lbs 4 ounces and an OB appt which shows me still closed but showing some protein in my urine with swelling and headaches so supposed to keep an eye on that 

Symptoms? i've had a perpetual cycle of colds since I was 5 months along and it's continued still! so very annoying, also swollen feet are back and looking like sausages (so gross)

Rant/Rave/Questions? doc has me worried about the preclampsia, not sure what to keep an eye out for or how serious? 

GTKY: Will you have anyone else in the delivery room for support aside from your SO? no thank you! my hospital only allows one support person for the c-section so that works for me.  When I had my first one, my SIL was there cause she's a nurse and I thought they would be all proper and keep me covered down there but NOPE! It was ridiculous, nothing covered to start and you're spread eagle, how embarrassing. This time around at least I know what to expect.
