1. How far along are you? 35 weeks - so thankful to be this far along
2. Any new / increased symptoms? Diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) - otherwise I really feel decent, just heartburn. I think the PIH meds make me a bit drowsy as well.
3. How have you been sleeping? One problem I don't have! I sleep rather well still. And often.
4. Any plans for Labor Day weekend? Not really - since I'm on bed rest right now (hopefully will be released from it Wednesday), I don't want to plan something too far in advance. I am hopefully doing dinner with friends Thursday night though.
5. Any recent fun baby purchases / gifts? I bought SO MUCH online this weekend. Nothing all that "fun" but I did get two Bravado nursing bras which I cannot wait to receive. Underwire has been KILLING me.
1. How far along are you? 34 weeks!! I remember thinking I'd never get here!
2. Any new / increased symptoms? LOTS of pressure down low.
3. How have you been sleeping? Terribly. I have to be propped up to keep the reflux at bay, but that makes my back hurt. To top it all off the last two times that I actually slept more than an hour at a time I had those really realistic dreams where you wake up & you aren't sure if it really happened or not. (I was dreaming about cleaning my house and packing my hospital bag.)
4. Any plans for Labor Day weekend? My aunt and Grandma will be in town for my sister's birthday. Monday we're planning on finishing up the nursery.
5. Any recent fun baby purchases / gifts? My step MIL gifted us a beautiful handmade crocheted blanket. It's really thick & will be perfect for using in the carseat/stroller during the winter!
1. How far along are you? 31 weeks! Only 9 more to go -both exciting and scary!
2. Any new / increased symptoms? Exhaustion is increasing, sore back, inability to sleep because LO decides that nighttime is the perfect time for a dance party...
3. How have you been sleeping? It's becoming increasingly difficult between the bathroom breaks, LO's movements and my backaches...
4. Any plans for Labor Day weekend? Hoping to get together with some friends and finishing Harvest 2012!
5. Any recent fun baby purchases / gifts? I caved and bought some very cute clothes from ON! I also bought diapers, baby toiletries, etc. Just a few things left to buy and we are officially ready!
2. Any new / increased symptoms? numbness in hands when I wake up, increased discharge, increased urination, nipple/breast tenderness
3. How have you been sleeping? Really well! I have the occasional night where I can't sleep and lay awake for hours, but its rare. I limit myself to 8 -8.5 hours a night and am just fine!
4. Any plans for Labor Day weekend? cookout and see friends
5. Any recent fun baby purchases / gifts? a cute stuffed animal for her room, and some necessities like mattress pad, receiving blankets, boppy cover, etc.
Excited for baby #2!
