1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 31 weeks. Rory is as big as an Asparagus / Small-clawed Otter 

2) How are you feeling? A lot more pressure in my pelvic area and some pain there as well. I think I had some contractions the other night but they went away, so likely braxton hicks. But made things seem real. I’m trying to decide if I should bother calling my OB about the pressure/pain in my pelvic area since she's told me to because of the dilating and funneling cervix stuff. DH want's me to call her but he super enables me and my hypochondria, which is something I have to keep in check, but 99% of the time it's nothing. Also, I have a sick toddler home with me today so I can’t really take him with me to the OB or triage if I have to go there. I’m feeling better right now compared to this past weekend. So I’ll probably wait till tomorrow if it persists.

3) Any appointments this week/last? Nothing last week. Wooh. This week I have a growth US and an OB apt on Thursday. 

4) How are baby preparations going? Ordered bunk beds for the boys, DH needs to paint DS's room, then we can move my step-son into DS room and I can really get to work on Rory’s room. I did pick up a crap ton of clothes for her this weekend and once I get those I’ll probably wash them and hang them since I don’t have a dresser for her yet. Oh and I ordered her changing pad cover since it was on sale. But mostly my preparations include keeping her in my body. haha.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

Guys… I totally won a $75 gc from Pink Blush on Facebook yesterday. Kinda sorta totally excited. I’ve been meaning to pick up some nursing/after pregnancy stuff so that’s super awesome that I don’t have to use my money for it.

6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received? So far I’d say it’s this little sign I picked up for her room.

@supercoolstephy I think I'd call, you are already dialated. But I get it, I tend to be super over cautious 

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
33 weeks, a bunch of celery

2) How are you feeling?
I've been feeling crampy in my power abdomen. It's so so hard to tell if it's just digestion issues. Knock on wood, I haven't had any light headed, pass out episodes since last monday. 

3) Any appointments this week/last?
I have a regular OB check up on Wednesday this week

4) How are baby preparations going?
I believe we are 95% done. My MIL was fixing the curtains I bought by adding a border to them. She dropped them off on Saturday, they look awesome. After DH hung them I realized the butterflies were now upside down I felt bad but she is coming to get them today to try to fix them.

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
None right now.

6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received?
We haven't really purchased a ton since DD is only 17 months and we are having another girl. I love how her nursery is coming out, I'll post some pics when we are

supercoolstephy

Thanks @burnsmommy27 I'll give them a call tomorrow. No way I'm taking a sick toddler with me and DH can't get out of work. Bah!

burnsmommy27

Yeah I totally get that, especially because I'm sure they will tell you to go to triage

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 34 weeks
2) How are you feeling? Sleep is not happening. Ready to be done. 
3) Any appointments this week/last? Regular appointment on Thursday. Anxious for them to tell me if she's breech. 
4) How are baby preparations going? Good - we are about 80% done with the nursery and I'm hoping to have the last of it done by this weekend. I'm also planning on packing my hospital bag this week and schedule the car seat inspection. 
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? I only have 22 work days until the EDD and I am SUPER excited about that. We are also interviewing for my maternity leave coverage person this week, so I think I'll feel better once I know who that person will be and can start unloading information on them. 
6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received? Ummmm....her nursery is looking pretty good. Other than that, we don't really have anything NEW for this little girl. I am going to get her her own coming home outfit.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
32 weeks, 8 months!! Head of lettuce I guess, the comparisons are getting more nonsensical now!

2) How are you feeling?
 Baby is hanging out right at the front of my belly. I can’t tell which position but it feels like sideways and her movements are really uncomfortable and parts are poking out! 

3) Any appointments this week/last?
32 week apt on Thursday.

4) How are baby preparations going?
I think I have most of the things I’ll need for baby but I am still feeling very unprepared in terms of things I should be doing like childbirth class, meeting with my doula, getting finances in order, and cleaning! 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I had a little while wine on Thanksgiving. It was so good, but just made me miss it more! 

6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received?
I had my baby shower on Saturday and got so many nice things. I love some of the sweet little outfits and stuffed animals. I’m also excited about my jogging stroller! I miss running.

4) How are baby preparations going?
Ok, we ordered some clothes on black Friday and dh's sister gave us her rock and play. I'm ordering the bassinet this week.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
3 more weeks of teaching, it feels so short but so long. 
6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received?
I'm excited to try the rock and play since they weren't around when my daughter was born.

@supercoolstephy Def call if the pain hasn't gone away. Hope you feel better.

The OB office called me back. They said that since I've already had the steroid shots that if I were to go into labor that they wouldn't stop it so there is no need for me to come in today and to keep an eye on my fluids, contractions, kick counts, and really stick to my modified bed rest and they will see me Thursday.

1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 34 weeks - butternut squash
2) How are you feeling? Freaking exhausted - barely sleeping these days
3) Any appointments this week/last? Had a 2 week checkup last week and everything looked great! I'm really excited to have an ultrasound next week and then we start going every week after that!
4) How are baby preparations going? Great, pretty much done! The nursery looks so good - now I just need to finish packing my hospital bag and make freezer meals. 
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: I just moved my last day of work up a week to December 15 - can't wait to be done! 
6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received? It's hard to pick one but we got this fluffy little onesie that has ears on it, it's so warm and so stinking cute! I can't wait to put her in it!

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?  35 weeks and 1 day today, holy crap lol! Baby Aurora is the size of a pineapple or a little kids' backpack.
2) How are you feeling?  I have definitely felt better lol.  My pelvic area is so sore all the time since it was confirmed at my appointment last week that she is head down and engaged.  The fact that the doc was touching her head with a simply internal exam is crazy to me haha, but it explains a lot.
3) Any appointments this week/last?  Just my 34 week appointment last week.  Nothing this week.
4) How are baby preparations going?  I just have to work on the art wall as I call it and then I feel like I will be prepared.  I am planning to do all (12) months of the 2018 inspirational quotes calendar from Rifle Paper Co. in all varying sizes.  It will be a feat, but I am up for it.  I have had the calendar for months now, so I need to get on it.  I am also debating wall scones for the walls that are mini chandeliers or a floor lamp.  I will decide soon lol.  Outside of that, all of her clothes and blankets are washed and her bassinet is set up with her waterproof pad and sheet lol.  Her crib isn't slated to come in until December 22nd, which is a bummer, but not that big of a deal.  I have her hospital bag packed and will hopefully do mine and FI's this week.  I also scored some excellent Cyber Monday deals yesterday, so I think we are set.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?  Rave for Cyber Monday and family and friend's generous gift cards  
6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received?  I love her little thumbie from PBK that we got at her shower that has a monogrammed "A" on it.  I am going to bring it to the hospital.  I also bought myself a necklace this weekend with her name done in script and wire and while it isn't for her, I can't wait to wear it around my neck 24/7 lol.

Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. I just realized I can get on TB in my browser without it kicking me out to the app. 

1) How far along are you? How big is baby?
34 weeks (actually 34.3) Huge. He is huge. 

2) How are you feeling?
This week has been rough. Lots of lower back and hip pain that even an adjustment didn't immediately fix. I'm shuffling around like I'm 80! Otherwise, I now know what heartburn is. But no major complaints. If I could walk without pain I would be great!

3) Any appointments this week/last?
Had a BPP and an appointment with my midwife last week. This week was just an adjustment.

4) How are baby preparations going?
Still slowly and still no house! But all my baby showers are done so I'm starting to fill in the blanks. 

5) Rants/Raves/Questions?

6) GTKY - Favorite baby item that you've bought or received?
I'm REALLY excited about the baby carrier I bought! I've had my eye on it since I got pregnant and Black Friday didn't let me down.
