Happy Wednesday!

This thread is for July moms who have previously suffered a loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, etc).

Let's all do a little intro, as a reminder and for those that weren't around when we did the first time! 

How far along are you? 

How are you doing? 

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to?

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: 

Any questions you want to ask the group?

GTKY: If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator?

mmc in July 2016

How far along are you? 
36+6

How are you doing? 
Big, swollen, tired.  And yet somehow energetic.  Feeling excited and ready for baby to be here.

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to?
Had a weekly check-in today and next is next Wednesday.  We have a few last things to wrap up (Breastfeeding class Friday, a work project, and finishing washing extra baby things), but the next milestone is probably birth!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: 
It's been a good day.  I am starting to dilate/efface, which gives hope that baby won't be a 10lb turkey (they're estimating 9+ lb if she goes to her due date), and a friend just dropped by tonight with his 2wk newborn so I got to snuggle a little one.

Any questions you want to ask the group?

GTKY: If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator?
Julie Andrews

How are you doing? 
Excited and anxious but so happy 

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to?
Tomorrow is my 37th week appointment, I'm looking forward to having her in my arms, counting down the minutes. 

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: 
Baby is still breech, I've pretty much lost all hope for a vaginal delivery at this point. Also want to wish all of you a safe and happy delivery! 

Any questions you want to ask the group?

GTKY: If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator?
Morgan Freeman 

@optbaby2017 9 pounds is still a pretty big baby!

@fiorip I know! I want her healthy and all, but I am (not so secretly) hoping she will come a little early so that she is closer to 8lbs and can wear the cute newborn size clothes for at least a few days.

How far along are you? 35+6

How are you doing? Uncomfortable. Trying to make sure I'm walking daily, stretching, and doing all the things to get ready for her arrival.

When is your next appointment? And/Or What milestone are you next looking forward to? Appointment on Tuesday with a scan. So I'm really excited for that!

Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We did our completion order on Amazon today! Excited to finish setting everything up this week

Any questions you want to ask the group?

GTKY: If someone narrated your life, who would you want to be the narrator? Oh geez. No idea. I think @fiorip has the right idea with Morgan Freeman.
