Updates/Appts? Nothing new/exciting....weekly appointments and u/s and things are looking good. I declined a cervical check at my last appointment, but might say "yes" to one on Monday.
Random musings? I'm starting to get nervous/excited about LOs arrival. I know its normal to freak out a bit so I'm handling it ok, but I cannot fully grasp the fact that I'll be a mother veryyyyy soon!
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? We never do anything exciting for NYE so this year will be the same....just watch the ball drop on tv, if I can stay up til midnight!
Missing Our July Sparkler BFP#1-11/12/12, MMC 1/16/13-baby stopped growing @ 9wks, found out at 13wks, D&E 1/25/13 BFP#2-4/23/13 EDD-01/02/14 baby BOY born 12/31/13 Michael Cameron
Updates/Appts? I have an appointment this afternoon, basic stuff. Hoping to see some progress with my cervical check, but won't be upset if not. I've been 1 cm for 3 weeks.
Random Musings? I'm with @cpm1223. The realization of the end of the pregnancy is hitting me hard. I've been very emotional about it. I just want to keep it together!
GTKY: Well, my due date is Jan 2, so we'll be taking it easy. If I haven't given birth yet, we might go to a movie or get some delicious take out! DH really wants to see The Wolf of Wall Street.
Weeks? 35
Team? Green
Updates/appointments: due to Christmas and New Years not until the 10th of jan. Everything is all good.
Random musings: I am excited and nervous about adding one more. I have heard that going from 1 to 2 is the biggest adjustment.
Gtky: just relaxing. Maybe try and stay up till midnight
Sorry for formatting. On my iPad
Weeks? 38. Holy fuck I'm going to be someone's mom, soon.
Team? Pink.
Updates/Appts? Next is tomorrow. H is coming since he's off work. It will be my first cervical check in 3 weeks so I'm curious.
Random musings? I am all over the map, emotionally. Part of me wants her to stay in there so I can keep getting things done at work but then I just want to see her and not have shooting pains in my ass anymore. Then I cry at the enormity of it all. What a mess, I is.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? We are a tentative yes to a party some friends are having at their new house in DC. I offered to DD H but he is a sweetheart and said we'll make a game time decision. If I'm too tired to go out, we'll watch the ball drop from the couch. (Assuming I can stay up until midnight...)
Had an appt on Monday but no change. 3cm and still 80% effaced.
False labor sucks. Haven't had any reasons to call L&D as contractions were never consistent, but it's getting to be a nightly thing. I cried on the phone to DH yesterday because I'm just over it.
As for NYE, I'm hoping to be at home snuggling my baby Nate. If he is still staying put, I will be at home wishing I was snuggling my baby. No plans for me this year.
Updates/Appts? I have my enrollment appointment today at the birthing center at the hospital to make sure everything is in order and the doctors have signed off on my low risk status. Monday I resume regular weekly appts.
Random musings? I didn't have a bad holiday, but I spent most of it thinking "This is going to be so much better next year."
Weeks: 36 Team: pink Updates/Appts: have my 36 week ultrasound for sizing secondary to my GDM today. (Excited to see her again) and yet another NST today for the same reasons. Random musings: Christmas was fun, but ready to get all the trash/boxes out of my house, and we've maxed out our trash can/recycle space already. Going to find a dumpster somewhere to get it cleaned up. GTKY New Year's Eve plans: No, my SO is working. So I'll prob be in bed early and getting what sleep I can while I can.
At the last few appointments I had, I hounded the staff and doctors to tell me whether they thought I would go into labor soon, because I was so scared to have xmas babies. They all confirmed that I had no pre term labor signs. Everything is looking good, babies are passing their non-stress tests and I have great blood pressure readings. The only thing that is sucking is my weight - I am going a bit over average and the holidays aren't helping! I'm also so swollen so I am chalking it up to that, too. Oh well, I know I can get the weight off.
Random musings?
I am just so so relieved to have made it through Christmas without delivering. I was worried sick it would happen!!!
GTKY: Any plans for NYE?
Seriously? lol - this is what I look like right now:
Updates/Appts? Next appointment is tomorrow morning. I'm hoping for some progress. I know things can change in a matter of minutes but I feel like this LO is going to show up late.
Random musings? I'm so tired of people asking me where they baby is and why isn't she here yet. People, she's not due until next week, she will be here when she's ready. No I don't feel contractions....in fact I don't feel any different than I did the last time you asked. Also, I'm super excited to meet my LO but I'm definitely over these hormones. I've been so emotional the past week or so it's making me nuts. Most days I feel like I could cry at the drop of a hat for no reason at all and it makes DH feel bad. He keeps asking why I'm upset or what he did wrong when really I can't even give him a reason why I'm crying. I've never been so emotional in my whole life.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? It all depends on when LO decides to make her appearance. If she's not here by NYE, we will probably hang at my parents house with some of my siblings since they only live about 20 minutes from us and if I went into labor I'd only be 25-30 minutes from the hospital.
Updates/Appts? Still no baby. My OB told me last Wednesday that she didn't think I'd make it through the weekend, much less to my due date. My appointment is today at 3:30, and I'll be seeing a different Dr since mine is on vacation this week and next. I'm really feeling pretty confident that I'll get my January baby after all. I may be dilating, but I haven't had any noticeable contractions or baby-cork popping yet.
Random musings? A part of me wants this baby now so I don't have to deal with my last week at work. I'd love to just be able to take off and let my boss deal with it all, but obviously the sooner I leave, the sooner I have to come back and I really didn't want to be back before March. So yeah. Oh, and the not-knowing thing sucks. To know that any day could be my last day is really weird.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? If I am not in the hospital or home with a little baby, DH and I will be spending the evening on the couch, most likely falling asleep watching a movie or tv show. I might get a miniature bottle of champagne to split, but we'll see.
Updates/Appts? My next one is next Friday, when I'll get my GBS test, a growth u/s, and my first cervical check. Hoping to see baby is still head-down!
Random musings? The nesting is kicking in a little more for me now, although I'm still recovering from the holidays. I'm both ready to not be pregnant and terrified about having 2.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? Nope. We'll probably all be asleep by midnight
Updates/Appts? GBS next week, and I'll have the weeklies from there on out. oh-my-gahhh.
Random musings? I've started to relax about Future MIL. She seems to listen to what I say, and I am finally comfortable telling her no when she is doing stuff that makes me feel uncomfortable/unhappy. For example I told her it wasn't a good time for her to come up to visit on for my birthday, which also happens to be the last two days off me and SO will have together before LO gets here. ' SO will just let her think she can come up and she might end up buying a ticket bc he never said no, even though he really wouldn't want her here during that time more than me. I'm just happy that I wont have to be resentful of her, and I am finally getting the courage to speak up (something I'm sure I'll need to do lots of after LO is here).
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? I don't think we will be doing anything exciting this year either. Maybe some Martinelli's and some hard cider/beer for him along with a movie and kiss on the couch
Updates/Appts? I had a good appointment last week. They could not get me in this week for one which makes me kinda nervous going with out a weekly appointment this late in the game. I have a feeling that she is coming this weekend though so we will see if I make it to my next appointment that is set for the 31st. Everyone in my family is praying taht she comes before the 1st so that my brother can meet her before he gets deployed (military life sucks sometimes - esp when you are on a sub!).
Random musings? I don't want to share my little girl with the rest of the world! I cried for 15 mins this morning at the thought of her beign born and me having to share her with other people. I just don't want anything bad to ever happen to her and I feel like she is so much safer still in me. My DH just laughed at me and told me to "hurry up and get ready, you are already late for work".
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? I don't have any set yet. Normally we go to my Mom's and sit around the campfire and just hang out with the family and then at midnight set off a TON of fireworks! Of course we have to go to AL to get them... they don't sell the good stuff here in GA! lol
Updates/Appts? Had my MRI on Monday and apparently I'll only hear back if there's a problem. Otherwise we're "ok to push" and just need to wait for things to happen naturally.
Random musings? Nothing really. I'm full of turkey and too tired for musings
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? We'll probably end up staying indoors (depending on when LO arrives of course). We might have a cheese fonde and a bottle of bubbles - not sure I could muster much more!
Team? Blue (baby boy still does not have a name, which is making me really nervous)
Updates/Appts? Next appt is next Friday, then weekly appointments after that.
Random musings? I have been super emotional and I'm glad to hear it's not just me. I had a really bad day yesterday (I think because I did not sleep well at all the night before). We skyped with MIL who is very sweet and asked me what was wrong/how I was feeling - and of course I got all teary for no reason. I just randomly starting crying later that day and poor DH just wanted to know what was wrong and what he could do to help. I had no answers, no idea why I was crying or what would make me feel better. Ugh. This is SO unlike me.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? No plans. Typically, if we do anything at all for NYE, it's a nice dinner out somewhere. We don't really like all of the hype/crowds. I have a feeling we will be tucked in at home watching a movie or something.
Me(32) + DH(32) TTC #1 since Dec 2011
RE consult Dec 2012, diagnosed with lean PCOS (didn't see that coming!) medicated cycles 1 - 4 = BFN
Updates/Appts? Next and last appt Monday. Having the baby in 8 days.
Random musings? I have a stomach bug and threw up 15 times since 4am this morning. Nothing left in my stomach. I don't feel as bad not as I did before. H got his wisdom teeth out this morning and has to take care of DS. I feel terrible.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? My in laws will be here. So, hanging at home preparing for baby in 2 days from NYE.
Updates/Appts? I am getting induced Sunday... but I don't know if I will make. This morning I had a leaking roof and I have been so stressed that my head hurts and I have been dizzy. I e-mailed my doctor. Let's see what he will tell me. (I e-mail him and he answers fast)
Random musings? 39 weeks went fast! First it was going very slow, but suddenly I have no idea where the time went! Now, she is gonna be here soon!
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? I hope I will have my LO by there... so the plan is to spend with my husband and LO!
Weeks: 35/35 today! Okay so more like 35/28, but still.
Team: Pink!
Updates: I have my 3 hour GTT (fuck.), first internal and BPP ultrasound tomorrow. Busy day, so I'll keep you posted.
Musings: WTFITSALMOSTJANUARY. I haven't bought a single thing. Shit.
GTKY: I have a wedding on NYE so I'll be heading down the shore for that while my MIL watches my kids. We're staying over night... it should be fun, since my whole family will be there. I'm just worried about being 36 weeks pregnant and trying to enjoy myself. Ha!
Weeks? 38! Team? Blue. Updates/Appts? Had an appointment today. Not dilated at all but 50% effaced. Same as last week. Was hoping for some progress after all the BH I've been having. They've gotten so much stronger the past few days. Random musings? So ready to meet our little boy. I'm tired of not being able to sleep because my hips hurt so bad. I'm also tired of people telling me I have to have him before the 1st for tax reasons. Come on people. GTKY: Any plans for NYE? None. I hope to be at home hanging out with my DH, LO and our pups. We'll see if that happens!
I am a flucking million years pregnant. (39 weeks)
Team pink!
My next appointment is Monday where they will again tell me how huge she's going to be and in the same breath they will tell me not to worry. I would like to tell them that delivering something over 9 lbs is definitely something to worry about! Especially because I had so much tearing with DD#1. My bits took several months to heal!
I can't wait to meet her and at the same time I still can't visualize what it will actually be like once she's home with us. And I am in denial about giving birth. When ever I think I am done with being pregnant I think about labour...then I am perfectly happy with baby staying inside! Lol
NYE will be a quiet one. Hopefully watching movies while eating yummy food. And I might even splurge with a glass of wine.
Updates/Appts? Next appointment is 31st, last week I was still high and closed. Still having what my dr is calling early labor contractions (15-20 mins apart) and back spasms.
Random musings? As I get closer and closer to dday I get more excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to meet my little Oliva Paige but am less excited about the whole process
GTKY: Any plans for New Years? I will probably be asleep, have trouble staying conscious past 10pm lately, however I may have one of my random bathroom wake up calls right at midnight to see the ball drop lol
Updates/Appts? We had our follow up scan on Christmas Eve and the liver spot we've been watching for 4 months is GONE!!!!!! I'm so happy and relieved!!
Random musings? I'm late to the party because Thursday was our Christmas Day. DH is a firefighter so Santa was kind enough to hold out an extra day for our house.
GTKY: Any plans for NYE? Nope. It'll just be DD and I. She goes to bed at 8ish and I am sure I'll follow shortly after. Lame, lol.
Appt/updates: we have a 36 week ultrasound on jan. 2 and it will be the first time DH has been able to see her, so I'm pretty excited!!
Random musings: I am eating waaayyyy too much candy lately
NYE plans: DH, DS and I are hanging out at our house with another couple and their 3 kids. They are sleeping over and the other adults plan on drinking after the kids crash. I'm planning to go to bed at 10 bc I'm cool like that
