Almost 39 weeks. Appt at 8am. Swelling is starting in one ankle. It looks awesome. Baby girl needs to hurry up and get here bc I'm so over work. First Charlie horse last night and now my calf feels bruised!
I'm a little over 38 weeks (ticker is wrong). I'm feeling pretty good minus the restless legs and being itchy. Here's a pic from last weekend's maternity shoot. We love the pictures!
Took this Monday at 36 weeks! Today I'm 36w2d. Jaxon is moving a lot and hurts like hell. No dilation or effaced at my last doc appt last Thurs. Have an appt this Friday. Sleep is getting better shockingly. I slept 8 hours last night which is rare. I still haven't packed my hospital bag and we still haven't gotten everything for Jaxon (we are slacking) but next week we will get everything for sure! Let's hope he stays put till then which I'm sure he will! (Hope I don't jinx myself)
36w2d today and I'm pretty sure this nugget o'mine is preparing to fall out -- sideways. So much pressure downstairs. His kicks, once all sweet and fluttery -- now make me wanna barf.
We met with the perinatologist to check his kidneys again last week and she said the magical words I've been waiting to hear since the 20w ultrasound, "I see no reason to deliver early at this point." YES. So hopefully we'll have our October baby after all.
Meantime, I'm finally scheduling my first prenatal massage. A coworker said this place down the road has "the pregnancy pillow," which gets me face down on my stomach of an hour. Can I ask them to just leave me there like that?
I'm 36 weeks today! I haven't had a cervical check yet, but I've been having some strong BH the last couple days! So maybe they will check at my appointment on Monday! I'm getting more uncomfortable everyday, but that's expected when I only have a month left!
My pic was taken this past weekend while we were in Chicago for a little getaway....
36 weeks with Hazel Brantley. On my way to my weekly appt. wearing a cat shirt for good luck! Been having weird right rib pain, so hopefully I'm not dying.
36 weeks 2 days today but the pic was taken on Monday. I feel great except I can't breathe cause baby girl is all up in my lungs lol. Yesterday, doctor said I was 2-3 cm dilated and that was too much too soon for a FTM so I can't work this week booooo! On the bright side I have a lot more time to study for my exam next week (which I'll be able to take assuming she has decided she wants to keep cooking a little more).
Also, this is the last September hdbd whaaaaaat!!!!!!!
38 weeks LO is playing limbo in my pelvis ("how low can you go?") so my bump looks bigger now because she's all scrunched down instead of stretched out. I'm going to go ahead and award myself the smug camel this week.
35w6d. Feeling pretty good actually. Heading out to Prenatal Yoga soon and treating self to a PSL afterwards. Realized that my afternoon naps are causing me insomnia at night so forced myself to cut out naps and now am sleeping much better. Looking SO forward to reading Oct birth stories. I remember reading May 2013 baby stories and thinking.. soo.. far.. away. Yet here we are!!
35w5d! Babies measured about 5 lbs 7 oz each at yesterday's growth scan. I'm feeling ok considering there is almost 11 pounds of baby in me. I don't walk much due to SPD but other than that I'm feeling decent. Lots of BH the last week or so but cervix is still closed as of last Friday's appt. 37 w is full term for twins and they don't advise going past that too far due to the risk of placental degradation, so the induction is scheduled for 38w (Oct 11) but I am really hoping they come on their own before that. I am ready for these girls to get out of my belly!
37w1d We are pretty much set for Skyler's arrival. No updates yet on progress, I haven't had internal yet. I'm pretty much shot to hell and don't want to move because I'm having a ton of aches and pains. Sleeping pretty good though, haven't had too big if an issue this time around.
39 weeks tomorrow. The nights have been rough recently and if heart burn = hairy kid, I'm giving birth to a gorilla. Otherwise, life is good and at this point, we are just waiting for labor to start when it starts and hoping for no induction.
Oh, wait, I did pee myself for the first time ever. That was exciting. Siiiiiigh.
38 weeks 2 days Ezra Troy has dropped (again) and has the all clear from his parents to proceed calmly to the exit (DH's Grandma's funeral was yesterday - he needed to stay put until then).
Everyone looks great as usual! We're getting so close!
37w2d with my little guy, up 21 lbs and having major BH that have been effing with my head! At my last appointment he was head down, so he's ready to launch whenever he decides to show up

Not feeling too bad honestly. Hips hurts at night when I attempt to get sleep. Insomnia is in full force and I still want to eat everything, although luckily that doesn't happen! No real signs of going into labor anytime soon, thankfully!
Here is baby Max (Maxwell Shane) modeling a sweet hat his grandma made him and another in his daddy's hands.
He was due October 9th Was born on September 14th just because he wanted to. So he's 11 days old today. He's healthy and happy and am in constant awe of the little man we made!
I'm 36w5d! 37 weeks is coming up quickly. I'm so excited for this baby to reach full term. With all of these October babies being born so early it stresses me out! The baby could come any time now though and I would be mostly ready. There is still some cleaning to do around the house and some packing to do for the hospital. However, I got the co-sleeper assembled yesterday and finished my cloth diaper stash so the important things are done!
38w1d pic Last weeks appt showed 4cm dilated & 80% effaced. Back today for regular ob appt/NST & then off for IUGR ultrasound. Praying all looks good and dr will let me go another week!
Heartburn is an all day thing now, and I've started throwing up more (yay morning sickness in the third tri!) a few BH here and there but nothing exciting, I have a feeling I'll be one of the few to possibly go into November!
