Re: Wednesday ticker change 4/5
How big is baby? Yesterday's ultrasound had him at 7lb4oz. Yikes
Any appointments this week? Yesterday. I mentioned it in the ransoms thread. Had my usual fluid check(still high) and NST. Going again Monday. Pretty terrified to not make it to induction at 38. I'm praying he stays put but I will be shocked.
Symptoms? Incredible discomfort due to the extra fluid and large baby boy. Heartburn. And very terrible graphic nightmares.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just always ranting these days. I'm sick of complaining about how uncomfortable I am. I'm not used to pregnancy being miserable. My other two were great. I'm glad this isn't my first because I would've been very very uncertain about whether or not to have any more. I just pray this boy stays until induction. Or that fluid levels go down. One or the other!
Team pink/blue/green? Blue
GTKY: what's left on your to do list for baby? I thought I was done. But there was a convo about gifts for siblings and it made me realize I hadn't even thought of that! I did it with my last so I don't know why it didn't even cross my mind. Whatever we do it will be very small.
How big is baby? The size of a durian fruit (??).
Any appointments this week? We had one yesterday.
Symptoms? Nothing new.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We had our 33 week appointment yesterday and baby is head measuring 4.2 lbs! DD was only 6.9 when she was born, so the doctor is anticipating this baby being at least 8.5 lbs. I don't I'll have a baby that big, but I guess we'll see.
I I also had a serious conversation with him regarding VBAC vs CS and I think that I am slowly coming to terms with the fact that I will have a RCS. He said it would be difficult to have a successful VBAC due to the fact that I never made it to 10 centimeters before and this baby is bigger. Now we just have to decide whether to schedule the CS or let my body go into labor naturally and then have a CS.
Team pink/blue/green? Green
Stolen from Tuesday...GTKY: what's left on your to do list for baby? We still need to set up the PNP in our room and finish moving some of DD's toys. And a general deep cleaning of our apartment.
How big is baby? Last week's sono had him/her at 4lbs 12 oz. I had an appointment last week to get measurements because my belly's measuring small. They said baby was in 30th percentile overall, but it's head was on the small side (I forget the percentile but DH says it was 3rd... I thought it was a bit higher but I'm blanking). They asked if I'd traveled anywhere with Zika outbreaks, which freaked me out even though I haven't. The Dr wasn't too worried, but they're going to keep an eye on growth. Judging by the increased tightness of my pants this week, I think we're probably on the right track.
Any appointments this week? Nope.
Symptoms? Heartburn, tight pants, lots of movement.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nothing today.
Team pink/blue/green? Still green, somehow.
Stolen from Tuesday...GTKY: what's left on your to do list for baby? Ahhh too much it seems. We need to find a pediatrician, discuss names, get a bassinet and diapers, discuss home/hospital visiting boundaries with family, and get on daycare wait lists. And those are just the things I'd put in the "urgent" category. We are such procrastinators.
How big is baby? I'm not too confident in my new (temporary) OB but she thinks big. He measured 6.5lbs at my 35 week appt. I watched her do the measurements and they all looked off. Like her starting and end point werent right. Everything measured at 39 and 40 weeks. Im just going with the flow though since I go every week now. We'll see what happens this next appt. Hopefully I'll meet the not temporary new OB.
Any appointments this week? Friday
Symptoms? Itchiness. It keeps me up at night. I'm losing my mind. Its been happening on and off my whole pregnancy. Started with the bottom of my feet and now its hands and arms and legs. My feet are the worst. Weird.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I checked into L&D last Thursday when I hadn't felt baby move all day. Of course he wouldn't stop moving as soon as they got the monitor on me. Waste of an evening but glad to know he's ok and we got to see his face (on the u/s) which was cool.
Team pink/blue/green? Boy
Stolen from Tuesday...GTKY: what's left on your to do list for baby? Finding a daycare. Ugh. Why do I keep putting this off? I think thats it though. Oh and thank you cards.
How far along are you? 35 weeks (4 weeks until induction!)
How big is baby? 5 lbs 9 oz this morning, 52%
Any appointments this week? Had a normal OB yesterday and MFM today. Both went well
Symptoms? Just tightness and uncomfortable with a head in my pelvis
Rants/Raves/Questions? Finished off my registry this week so packages arriving all week! It's like Christmas!
Team pink/blue/green? Blue
Stolen from Tuesday...GTKY: what's left on your to do list for baby? Finish the nursery (windows are in but they need framing, molding and paint and then everything can where it belongs), set up baby area in the master, work on hospital bag
How big is baby? A ferret? Fundal height is deafness on which is nice after measuring insanely big last time.
Any appointments this week? Had a 32w on Monday and somebody finally turned head down! Next one isn't until 35 and it will be my last with my current doc, kind of bummed.
Symptoms? So much cramping and lightening crotch.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm out of town trying to find daycares and a house where we will be moving. It is super sucky and I'm tired.
Team pink/blue/green? Pink.
Stolen from Tuesday...GTKY: what's left on your to do list for baby? I'll install the car seat bases in a few weeks and probably decide on a daycare where we will be moving to this week. Otherwise I think I just have to buy boob stuff.

1st Baby 5/12/17, Henry
How big is baby? Last appointment 4 lbs
Any appointments this week? Nope next week
Symptoms? Spreading hips= vagina breaking in half
Rants/Raves/Questions? First in grateful but, I don't want to talk about it daily. My MIL is driving me nuts about the shower. She's invited 40+ people, I invited 15. Refuses to tell them about the registry at target that she specifically asked me to make for her, so now her friends are going off script. Save the receipts ladies because I hate pink and you'd know this if you saw we registered for all purple stuff.
Team pink/blue/green? Team purple, Little girl!
What else is left? Finish painting the nursery, assemble the crib and shelves.
