Because I will be induced a few days into February (appt not scheduled yet), although I am biologically 2/11 EDD, this hits a litttttle too close to home.
Time is flying at this point @okayestmom12 ! Had a bit of a panic this morning with the ticker change and getting third trimester articles on Bump. Still so much to do to prep for his arrival!! :-/
I guess the one good thing about having already had a Feb baby is that my timeline for preparation is already pretty set. We'll get the crib re-assembled and make a "to buy" list over Thanksgiving Break, install the car seat and wash clothes over the first half of Christmas Break and make hospital bag lists and finish the nursery over the second half of Christmas Break. Only complicating factor is that I need to add in Christmas and Birthday shopping for DS somewhere. Probably Christmas shopping over Thanksgiving Break (my school gets a week off) and Birthday shopping over Christmas Break (when we get 2 weeks off - DS's birthday is 2/13).
Dr. Apt yesterday they booked my c-section!! Shit just got real! EDD 2/21, scheduled due date 2/15. I refused to have him on Valentine's Day.
TW: 1 infant loss 8/17: Our daughter was born 8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass 2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old 4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!
I am pretty much ready to have this little guy LOL. My EDD changed to 1/29 a while back so let's doooo this.
Same as @BourbonBiscuits I've got pretty much most of the nursery set up. Crib will be reassembled maybe this weekend. My mom won't let me buy any of the big items I need because a) she wants to get something and b)she thinks other people will too? Like I need a double stroller, infant car seat, and bassinet/play pen. My family is generous always but I'm not entirely sure I'll get those big items necessarily. I can wait until after Xmas though to get them if I need to. I know my mom will be getting one of those items because she told me.
Everything else is pretty much my own vanity LOL Like I want some new crib sheets, diaper changing pad covers, blankets, bottles, other cute crap, etc. That stuff I'm okay with getting on my own. I've already gotten some cute little outfits so I feel pretty good!
Technically not 3rd tri yet, but I don't expect to go to my due date so I'm kind of in third tri? As much as I'm ready to be DONE being pregnant, I am not sure I'm ready to have a newborn quite yet. I have a ton of stuff I need to get done in late November/early December, maybe even early January... Mostly buying a few things here or there.
The BH contractions all the time don't let me forget whats coming either....
AAAAAHHHH 28 weeks is such an amazing milestone. I have NINE more weeks (single digits) left in this pregnancy (I get induced at 37 weeks for medical reasons). We pretty much don’t have to get anything ready because we will just use the nursery for this baby and move my daughter into a “big girl” room
@BourbonBiscuits I am in the exact same boat. My DS’s bday is 2/14. So we will pretty much be on the same time line except this time I’m due 2/5. So it is kind of freaking me out that I could possibly have a January baby! I feel like I still have so much to do to get ready for baby, but then again I don’t really know what (if that makes any sense)
I’m only 26 weeks today but babies will come between 34-36 weeks so I’m counting it. Omg thats 8 weeks away. NOTHING is done. que hyperventilating. Except Christmas shopping. Ive had a good start there. Just waiting for black friday for some last min stuff.
I hit 28 weeks yesterday! The first tri seemed like forever and the second flew by! I bet the third will probably fly by as well with the holidays and alllllll the things to get ready!! I can't believe my belly's got 12 weeks left of growing to do, I already feel so big! I'm starting to feel like I've been pregnant for a long time and I'm definitely looking forward to having wine and sushi and kombucha again! But I also know that this is the easy part and that caring for a baby is a lot of hard work, but at the same time I can't wait to finally meet our first child! What will he look like?? I know I'll love every moment and they will be the most special moments of my life! Also, a lil nervous about the labor part...Ah so many mixed emotions about it all! I know all of these feelings are normal, just felt like sharing I guess! Also I can't seem to stay focused on work!
We’re counting third from 28 weeks, right? I know it’s sometimes “debatable” but that’s what I’m holding out for. I’ve got a handful more days. As I see other mamas counting themselves “in” because they expect to go early- do I have to wait LONGER bc i expect to go late??? Lol i feel like I’ll still be hanging out at 41
I'm tossing my hat in this ring. Technically I am 27 weeks but I will have to be induced most likely at 39 weeks. I'm counting myself 3rd trimester. I am basically ready to not be preggo any more and get my health back. DH is starting to hit panic mode which is funny and annoying. Cheers to everyone, we are in the last leg of the journey!
@ksdelong20 I hear you. We actually have absolutely nothing prepped whatsoever for this little one there is so much between now and february it seems like I keep puttng everything off. I've committed myself to having the nursery kind of ready by Christmas break....we'll see if i succeed LOL
Thanks @ohsunnydays! Definitely better today! It was a busy weekend with Thanksgiving stuff, so it was not ideal timing. But such is pregnancy and life these days.
