*** Sunday Ticker Change ***

It IS Sunday, right!?! I'm all kinds of off this week (I actually did have to look and make sure.) See also? I thought I was a week less than what I actually AM as well.
1. How far along are you today?
2. Any updates?
3. Team?
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones?

Re: *** Sunday Ticker Change ***
1. 33 weeks! (OMG, I thought I was 32 today. Yes, I know I'm an idiot.)
2. I had my weekly BPP on Friday and the babe passed in literally 3 minutes I think. Woo hoo! The mass is still the same size and has no blood flow so, as of now, we can keep the 39 week induction plan we set last week. FX that we have this baby on September 10th!
3. Team green. I still can't believe after weekly ultrasounds, that I'm still team green. (And it's not that I'm tempted to find out, it's that no one has slipped yet!)
GTKY: I didn't take any classes with my first two kiddos, but this time I'm BFing so I'm taking a class at my hospital next week. Can't wait!

1. 34 weeks!! Part of me is still in denial that I could possibly be this close... but subconsciously, I must know it is coming. Last night I dreamed about giving birth to the baby... in my parent's bathroom (which is, btw, the worlds smallest and most uncomfortable bathroom both in the dream and IRL). I didn't seem phased by an unplanned, unassisted home birth or the fact that the baby is/was premature... no I was upset that my mom didn't want to wake DH up so he could be there for the birth.
2. At our last MW appointment, we found out that Joy has turned from transverse to breech, so I've been standing on my head a lot lately, hoping to coerce her to turn the other way.
3. Team Pink!
GTKY: no classes from the hospital. We took a Bradley Method class that I'm hoping to be able to use and not end up with a c-section (I want a natural birth anyway but part of me is just reluctant to have the money we spent on the class be "wasted")... but whatever helps our little girl make a safe entrance into the world.
Everyone else must still be sleeping this morning....
1. How far along are you today?
30 weeks 6 days.
2. Any updates?
My oldest SD bought the baby something. A little Michael Jordan outfit. I think that is so nice. I was given a prescription for acid reflux...and wouldn't you know I haven't had to use it. 3. Team? Still green. GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? Going to do the hospital tour. I inquired to a couple of nurses about the BF classes and they suggested meeting with a lactation consultant in a couple of weeks first.1. How far along are you today? 34 weeks!
2. Any updates? We had our appointment and they think I'm measuring ahead which is fabulous because I'm totally ready to have this baby next month! I know it's more likely I'll stay pregnant until September, but I feel like we are so ready for him to make his arrival.
3. Team? BLUE!
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? We took the all day expectant parenting class yesterday...a lot of repeat information but some new things that I didn't know I needed to ask my doctor and the pediatrician. The tour was also very helpful and we got to learn the hospital's policies -- the baby rooms with you the whole time as there is no nursery, etc. We have Breastfeeding and Infant Care left to go!

1. 35 weeks! My H was born at 35 weeks, so it is a happy milestone for us.
2. I'm sorta on...limited activity. Partial bedrest? I dunno what to call it but it is annoying to try to keep a 2 year old happy without being able to do anything active. This is carry over from my wreck. I have an irritable uterus now.
In other news, my GD is going quite well. Yesterday I had P.F. Chang with MiL and then she talked me into ordering ice cream room service while we watched a movie at her hotel. They brought a GIGANTIC BOWL OF ICE CREAM and I ate more than I should...and my numbers were just fine. Woo!
3. Pink! And now I have clothes to prove it. I've been waiting on getting much because we were told that someone was going to ship us several boxes of used stuff. It has totally stressed me out that I'm getting so close and still don't have clothes (beyond DS's, which are the wrong season). Well, my ILs helped out with that quite a bit while they were visiting. Whew.
GTKY: No classes this time. I took a Natural Childbirth class at a birth center with DS, but this time we're studying meditation/relaxation on our own. Plus, being a doula, I def know more of what to expect than I did with DS. DH has to listen to me all the time, so he is good too. Plus, he is reading The Birth Partner. Great book!
I highly recommend chiropractic and acupuncture. Especially chiropractic at this stage. Find someone who does the Webster Technique. I think that is why this baby has been head down for so long (DS was breech: C-section).
How far along are you today?
33 weeks! With too many more to go!
Any updates?
Not so much... Baby has stopped moving as much. Went to Birthplace last night and he was moving and he "looked perfect" but I still didn't feel him as much and this morning it's the same. Not sure how to get rid of this constant worry.
Team?
Blue!
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones?
Nope! No classes this round.

3. Team? Blue
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? We took a breastfeeding class which was helpful, Im most nervous about bfing so it helped ease my fears. We have a hospital tour/end of pregnancy class on Thursday and I can't wait!

GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? I took a lactation class, a tour of the hospital, and will take an infant CPR class in a week or so.
The time is flying by now. I feel like I am in crunch mode to get everything done.

1. How far along are you today? 32!
2. Any updates? My MFM drs have talked about possible (probable) induction at ~34 weeks due to my pre-e and rising blood pressure. I am totally freaked out that we may have a baby in 2 weeks. SO. NOT. READY!!!
3. Team? Pink
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? We are taking a BF class next Monday. Our schedules didn't work to take the birthing classes.

2. Any updates? My BP is back under control for now and I have an appt on Tuesday and then I start going weekly. We are going to decide if we are going to set an induction date or not.
3. Team? Pink!
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? I am looking into an infant CPR class but none of the other classes will fit into my work schedule.
1. How far along are you today? 35 weeks
2. Any updates? Wed we go for our growth u/s. She is measuring big, which is not a shock bc DS was big!
3. Team? Pink
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones?
DS is doing the sibling class at the hospital. He is very excited!
1. How far along are you today? 32 weeks
2. Any updates? Not in regards to appointments. Just that I have resorted to sleeping sitting up once again. It's the only way I can get comfortable. Also, our basement reno is almost complete & I am so anxious to get my office moved down there so we can begin work on the nursery.
3. Team? Pink
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? No. We took them last time, though.
1. How far along are you today? 34 weeks, less than one month to full term!
2. Any updates? We had our maternity photos done today and she was taking a photo of my bump and with the light reflection, she could see his head. He's now transverse. DH could see it to when she pointed it out to him. Hopefully, he will move back down! He's still moving around.
3. Team? Blue
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? We are taking classes with the National Childbirth Trust which is the main provider in the UK. We've had one and our next one is on Monday. So far, I've been pleased and I've met some nice moms to be.
1. How far along are you today? 32 weeks! Is that really 8 months, how is that possible?
2. Any updates? Just had our last monthly appt...we go in every two weeks this month then switch to monthly. Wednesday's appt went great, we got to see baby girl on the portable ultrasound. She is still head down, we saw her perfect little heart (all the chambers) and her brain. And confirmed the hard lump we can feels her butt! Blood pressure is still low and everything looks great!
3. Team? Pink!
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones?
We did the one day birth class, and then I did the breastfeeding course. Both were a lot of information I've already read, but still nice to hear it again. We will do a hospital tour and pre-regist after our 36 week appt.
1. How far along are you today? 35 Weeks, which seems totally impossible.
2. Any updates? I have scheduled all of my appointment till baby is due to arrive. Every week from here on out.
3. Team? Green, still have no feeling on if its a boy or girl. I did have a dream over the weekend that it was a boy.
GTKY: Are you planning on taking (or have you already taken) any classes at your hospital? If so, which ones? We didn't feel like it was needed. We took a birthing class before DS was born.
DD #1 9/11/10
DD #2 8/28/12

2. Any updates? Appt on Monday went well...nothing new to report.
