July 2012 Moms
Weekly Check-In
Okay, I am a cranky pants. I am now officially 10 days overdue. I'm going to the doc this morning to see if my cervix is doing anything - if not, it's induction for me on Wed. night. Congrats to all the new July Mommies! Can't believe the month is more than half-way over and we have so many new, cute, sweet babies. Finally, good luck to all of us getting induced/going into labor/having scheduled c-secs this week. See you all on the other side!

Re: Weekly Check-In
EDD - How far along? July 22 / 39w1d
Symptoms, aches, pains? Generally awkward, slightly uncomfortable, have to pee frequently, although nothing happens.
OB Appts./Health Concerns Wed check-up, was at 1 cm, hoping to have progressed more, but we'll see.
Food! Nothing in particular - sort of wish I had had cravings this pregnancy, it's been boringly normal.
Sleep? Other than getting up to pee and those first few steps out of bed, it's fine.
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to __________________ with my new born baby when he/she gets here." Nothing in particular with my newborn - just feed, cuddle, and nap. Really looking forward to taking her to Rice ballgames next season though.
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week Best - Organizing my bathroom vanity, worst - arguing with TheBoy over his lack of involvement around the house
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here? Most of them? I'm determined to go back to my dance troupe, which is a weekly rehearsal for me. The rest I don't see as being that hard to keep up. (Tex Ren Fest, hosting Thanksgiving, etc.)
EDD - How far along? July 28 - 38w 2d
Symptoms, aches, pains? Some mild cramping, bad reflux, pain in inner thighs.
OB Appts./Health Concerns Appt tomorrow. Hoping for some progress, but I doubt it as I haven't had any bad contrax
Food! Fruit and anything sweet
Sleep? eh. My hips are killing me. I usually wake up in early morning and have trouble going back to sleep.
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to cuddle/rock/nurse with my new born baby when he/she gets here."
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week Best: appt is tomorrow, girls night Wed. Worst: staff meeting at work tomorrow after boss being out of town last week. She will be on a roll, for sure.
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here? Since I already have a LO, I don't anticipate our lives being too different, once we get into the swing of things.
EDD - How far along? July 23, 39 weeks
Symptoms, aches, pains? Lots of contractions yesterday, but nothing painful. I also had some mild cramping last night and just kind of felt 'off'. I'm hoping this means I'm making progress.
OB Appts./Health Concerns My OB is on vacation until Wednesday, so I actually wouldn't mind if baby stayed put until then. My next appointment is Thursday, no big concerns
Food! Fruit! Watermelon, blueberries, pineapple - freaking yum. And also meatballs. Delish.
Sleep? sucks.
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to snuggle!!! with my new born baby when he/she gets here."
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week Best: I'm done working!! Such a relief to have a few months off
Worst: It is ridiculously hot here, which makes it tough to get outside and walk this baby out!
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here? I really, really, really hope to continue being active with my DH after baby arrives - running, walking, biking, baseball, etc. It keeps us connected and healthy and I don't want to lose that - so hopefully we can incorporate LO too!
1. EDD - How far along?

I've been eating anything I want since I hit my due date since I figure I will start eating healthy again really soon

What's that?
6. Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to __________________ with my new born baby when he/she gets here."
Just look at her and snuggle her.
7. Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week:

8. QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here?
I want to have date night with my husband at least once every two months.
Symptoms, aches, pains? lots of irregular contractions, lower abdomen pain/pressure, back pain, lost part of plug...hoping all this means something but we will see
OB Appts./Health Concerns Appt today
Food! eating pretty normally but not craving a lot these days
Sleep? What's that?!
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to __________________ with my new born baby when he/she gets here." Snuggle, start little traditions, go on vacation as a family
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week: Best: finally feeling that nursery and everything is ready for LO for most part / Worst: BH pains, DH's grandmother passing away
EDD - How far along? July 29
Symptoms, aches, pains? I am so achy when I get out of bed, thankfully I am sleeping pretty well, but I move like a 90 year old when I first get out of bed. I am VERY MUCH looking forward to getting sensation back in my fingers.
OB Appts./Health Concerns I am doing twice weekly NSTs and once a week u/s due to baby measuring so big
Food! Anything and everything!! I made some oatmeal butterscotch bars yesterday that I will probably eat way too much of today!
Sleep? I sleep pretty well, but my hips hurt from laying on my side.
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to __________________ with my new born baby when he/she gets here." Snuggle, I adore snuggling with little babies!!!
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week Worst thing in the last week was the fact that I was at the doctor's office for 3 hours despite the fact that LO passed his NST in 30 minutes and my u/s was only like 10 minutes long. I was a bit cranky afterwards to say the least. Best is I have been feeling pretty good (although people think I am lying when I tell them that)
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here? STMs will probably laugh at me for this hope, but I plan to continue to be on time. My sisters with kids use them as an excuse all the time for being late. I understand a long nap or something can cause you to run late on occasion, but I've seen my sisters get their kids ready to go out. They start the whole putting your shoes/coat routine at the time they should be getting in the car to leave and not 10 minutes beforehand. Maybe that is a silly thing to try my hardest at!
EDD - How far along? July 23/39 weeks
Symptoms, aches, pains? I have been having sporadic contractions with intense back pain. The acid reflux is also killing me since my LO has not dropped yet.
OB Appts./Health Concerns- Appt this week. I am finally going to let them do an internal check since I have been declining them so far.
Food! I am in love with Ben and Jerrys ice cream right now especially the cherry garcia! I also an eating Jimmy johns veggie sandwiches like crazy!
Sleep? Not sleeping well. I cannot get comfortable and when I do I have to pee.
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to ______Cuddle____________ with my new born baby when he/she gets here."
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week
Best- finished my cloth diaper prep so now I am done with that. Also I am only working half days so I can go home and enjoy some quiet time in the afternoons.
worst- wondering when I will go into labor!
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here? Date night! We want to still have 1 night a week or every other week were we go out as a couple! This way we can remember why we fell in love and actually talk to each other.
Symptoms, aches, pains? Starting to get hip pain while I sleep(also known as laying in bed staring at the wall)
OB Appts./Health Concerns. Thursday NST and cervix check
Food! Totally losing my appetite. If its not ice cream or cookies, I'm not really interested
Sleep? Forgot what it means
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to _____Just be the two of us in the rocker in the babies room___ with my new born baby when he/she gets here."
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week. My BFF and I were due the same day (couldn't have planned that if we tried) and she's going in for induction tonight and gets to meet her LO? I'm jealous
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here. Date night...no doubt about it I will still find time with my husband alone once a month
EDD - How far along? July 22 / 39w2d
Symptoms, aches, pains? Back and hips killing me. And my shoulders when I actually get to sleep (I hate sleeping on my side!)
OB Appts./Health Concerns Appt Wednesday. Regular doc is on vacation so seeing a partner. They are watching my BP because it has been elevated but blood and urine tests look good (did take me off work 2 weeks ago though)
Food! Still a million food aversions. Still quite a few foods that cause awful nausea/vomitting and/or hearburn.
Sleep? Depends on the night. Sometimes pretty good. Sometimes not at all. Want to nap ALL the time!
Fill in the blank: "I can't wait to __________________ with my new born baby when he/she gets here." cuddle and love on her. And me and MH spending time with her together
Best thing(s)/Worst thing(s) this week worst: not having my baby (and worried they will induce because BP is high). Best: day out with DH. Love our quality time!
QOTW - We all know life after baby will never be the same, but what one thing/tradition (maybe with your DH, friends, family) are you going to do your damnest to hold on to even after baby gets here? Days where DH and I have no plans. We just go somewhere and spend the day doing whatever sounds interesting in the area
