    1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
    36 weeks today - papaya

    2. Any upcoming appointments this week?
    I'm up to weekly appts with a growth scan each week. I'm kind of annoyed at the expense of a weekly sonogram, but I'm going to be hitting my deductible and then some with this birth, so either the hospital or the doctor is getting paid - may as well share the love!

    3. Any new symptoms?
    Nothing new - just a pretty consistent slight pressure in my crotch. It's not that it hurts, it's just noticeable (not sure that makes sense, but I don't know how else to describe it!)

    4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
    My parents offered to get us something off our registry and asked what is the one thing we really needed. I told them the bedding set was one of the main things I was hoping to get and they said, "You got it." I am super grateful for their generosity. Then MIL offered to get us the swing - another big ticket item I was worried about getting. Our postponed shower is still 2 weeks away and I am feeling like we're still so unprepared, but even just knowing we will have those 2 things is a relief.

    I have GOT to get my hair did before this baby comes!! I love me a good hair appt!!!

    1. How far along are you? How big is baby? 36 weeks!

    2. Any upcoming appointments this week? OB appointment with my group b strep swab. Weekly appointments from here on out. 

    3. Any new symptoms? Feeling useless, like there's so much to do but there's not. I'm just stressing. Also a lot more hormonal this month. I just want to cry and I feel like no one understands what I'm going through. 

    4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions? 

    5. GTKY: How are you taking care of YOU in these last days/weeks? (mani/pedi, date night, massage, etc.) Trying to relax but I feel selfish when I do.

    1. How far along are you? How big is baby?
    I'm 36 weeks, babies are the size of Cabbage Patch dolls <3 I'm going to adjust that to small Cabbage Patch dolls because they are still measuring at the same as they were 2 weeks ago.
    2. Any upcoming appointments this week?
    Just an OB appointment. Those are weekly now with bi-weekly growth scans.
    3. Any new symptoms?
    Nothing new, still having pressure in my pelvis area and back and hip pain. Trying to keep my feet up as much as possible, but that's getting harder since we're trying to pack and everything else.
    4. Rants/ Raves/ Questions?
    I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful MIL! She was down last week to help us clean the house and is coming back this week to help us finish up as much as possible. I'm hoping we can close on the new house early so we can start moving stuff over there because I think that will make things easier.
    5. GTKY: How are you taking care of YOU in these last days/weeks? (mani/pedi, date night, massage, etc.)
    I've been getting a massage every 2 weeks (last one before babies are born was yesterday) and I am wanting to get a pedicure done before the girls arrive in 2 weeks, but I'm not sure if that is going to happen. I need my toe nails cut at the very least and I can't reach to do it and my husband has weird issues with feet so he won't.

    @amylonghorn Parents and in-laws can be amazing when it comes to that stuff. My parents are buying both of our cribs and our crib mattresses which is a huge load off of us. My MIL is helping us clean the house as a gift and wants to get us a couple weeks of maid services for after the girls are born so I don't have to worry about it.

    @sarahhedger7 You are not useless, you are creating life, which is understandably exhausting. Take the time to relax and just be you've earned it and will need that in the coming months /hugs.

    1. I’m 36 weeks yesterday. Baby is supposed to be size of a papaya but growth scan last week showed she was already about 10 days ahead- about 6.5 pounds. 

    2. I have my 36 week appt tomorrow with the group B strep test. I don’t think they did one with DD1 because they caught my pree at my 36 week appointment and that threw the whole appt into a tailspin so will be a new experience. 

    3. Only new symptoms are related to my anemia- the extra iron is actually helping me to poo- I go at least once a day now. It’s easier to go but still wrecking havoc on the roids. 

    4. I’m so tired of people at work telling me how huge I look compared to last time they saw me. Why thanks, I feel huge and now you’ve irritated me too. 

    5. Honestly- not much but I do make my husband give me feet and back rubs every single night (he’s mostly a good sport about it). I’m having 2 short meetings each week with my boss at my full time job to make sure I’m staying caught up with my work and that there won’t be much to reassign when I go on leave. Also, I’m giving in to my cravings much more often. I had a huge salad for dinner the other night and didn’t share it with DH.
