FTM/STM/TTM+: First Timer

Baby is the size of a (an): Zucchini/Bike Helmet

Team blue/pink/green: Pink

Upcoming Appointments: First bi-weekly OB visit tomorrow- Meet and Greet with a Pediatrician on Thurs. 

How are you feeling?: Pretty good. Starting to stress about the amount of time left until Baby arrives and all we need to accomplish before then. There just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day, and even if I make a checklist I'm having trouble completing anything. Napping is back big time as well! I feel like I could sleep all day- and night! 

Rants/Raves: I have to pee SO MUCH. Baby Girl's head must be positioned right on my bladder because as soon as I go, I have the urge to pee again almost instantaneously. Starting to get up more in the middle of the night, but all good practice I suppose! 

Questions: How is everyone doing with finding a pediatrician? This is our first one to meet this week- but I feel like I'm running out of steam in general to interview a bunch more.

EDD / Weeks + Days: January 2, 32 weeks (8 weeks left 😱)

FTM/STM/TTM+: First!

Baby is the size of a (an): Squash. No idea what kind…

Team blue/pink/green: blue

Upcoming Appointments: November 21, as well as an upcoming ultrasound. My OB is sending me for an extra since little man is an IVF baby, so we are checking size and making sure everything is going smoothly. 

How are you feeling?: Mostly okay. Feeling a little bloaty, heartburn still sucks, and I definitely feel your pain on the pee front @raeraekat. It’s an unending cycle. 

The pseudo carpal tunnel is definitely affecting my work, but I’m doing my best to ignore it. 

Rants/Raves: So. Much. Laundry. Wow I think between the new things we got from people and the hand me downs from others, I’m up to about 4-5 loads of laundry that I need to do, sort and fold?!

Questions: Has anyone finished organizing their nursery setup? I find the more I unbox, the less space I have to organize and it’s a little overwhelming? Why do babies need so much stuff?

@kvothe2024 We've put the crib and dresser together but everything else is still in boxes! We're getting a bunch of hand-me-down baby stuff this weekend, and then my shower is in 3 weeks so we'll see where we're at after that  lol.

@knottiee9b55b051320ce45 Try Doulamatch.net! That's how we found ours. Someone also gave me good advice to interview at least 3 before making a decision. Good luck with your search!
