Hey All!
I wanted to create a spot where folks could check-in without having to join the 'private group' that was started by the others. Comment or lurk as you see fit!

Re: December Check In
How are you feeling: Really good, although prego acne is back with a vengeance and I have some kind of painful welt on the side of my eye... ?? No idea what that could be.
Upcoming appointments: I just had my 34-week growth scan last Friday. She was in the 90th percentile at the 20-week scan, but she is down to the 85th percentile now, so no talk of early induction. She's already 6lbs though!
Raves/Rants: Rave, I feel like we finally have everything ready! The only thing I still want to do before she comes is some freezer food prep.
Anything else: I'm super grateful we get the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve off at my office. It will be so nice to have some downtime before the baby comes.
How are you feeling: feeling huge, can't get around as easily, but okay over all
Upcoming appointments: Today!
Raves/Rants: I still haven't found a sub for my maternity leave. I'm slightly freaking out but life will go on. Mostly just worried about my students and the disaster the room might be in when I return.
Anything else? I'm So exctied for winter break. We get 2 weeks off this year and I'm planning on using that time to make sure the boys room is ready! Grateful to have that time.
How are you feeling: uncomfortable.. been battling pretty andbad carpal tunnel and started to have reflux that makes me feel quite gross.
Upcoming appointments: strangely my doctor didn't want to see me this week, so next appointment is the 19th
Raves/Rants: So happy last week's ultrasound went well! She is 55 percentile at 6 ish lbs. And head down!
Rant.... Doctor all of a sudden suggests we do a sweep at 38 and 39 weeks. DH and I looked up the info on that and decided against it. Really want to let the baby decide when she's ready to come out, unless there is really a pressing medical reason to. Yes I am 37 yo, but all else this pregnancy has been normal.
Anything else: I have so much to do before the holidays and before baby I hope I'm not early!
@limes030 Happy your baby is in a good position and healthy. You are in the home stretch!
I realized I'll be in the 9th month next week. I can't believe how close it is!
Days left: 41?! (Jan 24)
How are you feeling: uncomfortable and big but really excited
Upcoming appointment: Thursday for 34 week
Rants/races: I am pretty exhausted since the school semester is winding down. I am getting all my grades in and finalizing my exams. But getting everything ready for my maternity sub is stressing me out. I am really looking forward to winter break! DH and I decided to cancel our travel to his parents' house. I feel bad about it but super relieved we aren't driving hours away!
I'm going a little crazy with anticipation... soooo over being pregnant sometimes.... BUT, I'm trying to remind myself how long it took to get here, and that who knows, I might never get to experience this again! Hope all you other mamas are doing well!
On a scale of 1-10 (1=completely terrified; 10=totally ready to DO THIS) how prepared do you feel for labor and delivery??
I think I'm about a 9, haha!
How are you feeling: TIRED!
Upcoming appointments: Today for GBS testing and dilation check (definitely not dilated)
Raves/Rants: I am so tired at work now, and I hate that my brain doesn't work at 100%. I recently came off a rotation that was 70 hours a week and I definitely was feeling it. Everyone has been really supportive though. AND we finished the nursery! I am SO happy to have it done and ready.
Anything else: The swelling in my hands is one of the biggest surprises, I guess not that it happened but that they HURT.
How are you feeling: Very tired, uncomfortable, swollen and impatient. Can't wait to have our baby girl here with us.
Upcoming appointments: For now just the c section on the 2nd 🤗
Raves/Rants: I'm just glad that I made it through the holidays and was able to stand long enough to make all of the sweets that I wanted to give to family for Christmas lol
Anything else: The next 3 days will probably be the longest days of my life!!
@firsttimemamabear9 Not going to lie, I'm a little jealous that you know exactly when she's coming, haha. Congrats and I hope everything goes super smoothly for you!

Days left until due date: 18
How are you feeling: Good, ready to birth this baby!
Upcoming appointments: today for 38-week check-up
Raves/Rants: The holidays were great, I'm feeling good!
Anything else: Nope!
@schreibaby the swelling just hit me too at 36 weeks but mostly just in the hands. Good luck you could be any time as well!
