  1. Updates?  Nothing really new.  I'm off progesterone and now it seems my body is 100% quiet....not even BHs.  Hopefully it didn't calm my body too much.

  2. QOTW: what do have left to do to get ready for baby?   I am having the police department inspect our car seat installs this afternoon, made 3 weeks of freezer meals over the weekend...we're pretty much ready!  I'd love to deep clean my house but I think the nesting skipped me.

  He can come anytime he would like now.

  1. Updates? Had Dr.'s appointment and u/s today.  36 weeks 3 days.  Fluid levels dropped again.  Was 50% effaced but not dilated.  Have BPP this afternoon at 5. Levels were between 5.4 - 5.6.  If they drop below 5 its immediate induction.  Freaking out a bit.  Having NST on Monday.  Baby Girl's heartrate was great and movement has been good too.

  No real updates. Car seat is installed, bags are packed and in the minivan, half of the freezer meals are done. All I have left to do is the vinyl wall art in the nursery, some cleaning and more freezer meals but we have plenty.
  
  I did score an exersauser for $15 used in great condition today! So I need to clean it up, but baby boy won't use it for many months!
  
  I am sitting on my bed right now feeling baby kick...watching DH hang crown molding and trim in our master bath and DS is playing the iPad giggling. I feel like I am waiting for my awesome bubble to pop. Or the other shoe to drop.

  Had my 39 week appt last Friday. I'm 1.5 cm and about 80% effaced. Baby has NOT dropped. I am swelling more and more by the day and so ready to meet LO. Hoping baby decides to make an appearance soon! Qotw: ready for baby. We are team green, so once we know boy or girl, I want to shop for gender specific clothes. I'm so sick of gender neutral. Sorr for bg paragraph, on iPad.

  Ahh I'm so late to this party. I haven't been on TB in a while, work and getting ready for this LO to arrive have taken up all my time! I am DONE with work too, but unfortunately am still working until I go into labor. It's been so busy and stressful and all I want to do is sleep and nest!

  
  

  I'm 37 weeks today - full term!! I keep reminding myself he could come at any time now, but I'd like him to hang out for a couple more weeks while we continue to get things pulled together.

  
  

  I also have my last baby shower this weekend, so I'd like to be able to attend that too!

  
  

  QOTW: We still have to finish his nursery. It doesn't have any furniture in it yet (hasn't been delivered) and I'm not sure it's going to get finished before he comes, but I'm not worried, he'll sleep in our room for the first couple months anyway. We installed the car seat over the weekend and have our hospital bags packed, so we're all ready for him to come! 

  Oct 13 April Siggy: Bunnies

  Woops I am late to the party too!  I could have sworn I already responded to this thread!  Sometimes the weeks blend together!

  
  

  1. Updates? 30 weeks as of Sunday, heading to my OB appointment tomorrow so I will have a better update after that, but I have been feeling good. 

  2. QOTW: what do have left to do to get ready for baby? We have our birth class October 12th then the shower on October 20th, so we will have a better feel for what we still need to buy after that. 

  
  
  
  
  TTC #1** Went off BCP July 2011

  I'm bad at checking in too!

  I am 35 weeks today - can't quite believe it.  My back is starting to hurt pretty much all the time, and I think I had my first BH in the past couple of days.  I am losing energy by the hour, too! We have our 36 week appt next Monday, and then will see the dr weekly until little man makes his arrival.

  
  

  I have some organizing to finish in the nursery, still waiting on the glider, and need to get a few things - diapers, wipes, last minute stuff. Also need to have the car seat installed!  I feel like all I do these days is spend money - amazon is dangerous!!!

  
  

  Me: 35, DH: 34, Started TTC #1 since November '11

  Several Clomid/Femara rounds, then fresh IVF September '12

  Fresh IVF #1: chemical pregnancy, FET #1: ectopic, methotrexate

  FET #2 resulted in our amazing baby boy Levi, born on 11/3/13 at 8 lbs, 5 oz. He is our everything!
