Ljessen13 · December 2013

Technically I would be 39 weeks today. I have an outside LO instead. Born 37 weeks 2 days. Induction due to PIH. Michael Scott. Breast feeding is not going well. My milk came in late so we had to supplement. He will no longer latch so I have to pump. He gets 1 bottle of pumped breast milk a day bc my supply sucks

I am gonna keep trying though

. He is cluster feeding and loves to do that between 1-4 am

he must love us!!! Lol overrall he is a really good baby

bluegreeneyes11 · December 2013

He's so cute!!!

1. Weeks. 37 - full term!! 2. Team/name. Blue/Chris Jr. 3. Upcoming appts/updates. First cervical check Thursday and check amniotic fluid level. Nervous about the check 4. Vents/thoughts. Going to try not to let if I am/not dilated make me think anything is going to/not going to happen soon 5. New Years resolution? Nah. I am never a fan of them. Make changes as they need to happen.

holly142 · December 2013

39 weeks

Team Pink

Upcoming appts/updates: 39 week app. tomorrow (12/31)

Vents/thoughts: I am trying to not read too much into everything (been slowly progressing in dilation, loosing "baby cork", going #2 more, etc). I have been more uncomfortable the past 3 days (pelvic pressure, lower back aches). I am very curious to see when she comes! I am focusing on 1 day at a time. Today I am going to organize my office/guestroom and go see a movie with DH!

New Years resolution - go on daily walks with baby and lift weights when I get the okay from the doctor.

MrsGraham06 · December 2013

1. Weeks. 38.
2. Team/name. Scarlett or Bruce
3. Upcoming appts/updates. Still not dilated, LO is still flipping. Appointment Friday to see if we induce next Monday to avoid a c/s.
4. Vents/thoughts. False labor sucks.
5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay... Not so much. Make changes when you need or can.

kschref · December 2013

1. Weeks - 38

2. Team/name - blue/James Vaden

3. Upcoming appts/updates - Have one this morning. Going to try my best not to be super whiny, but I feel effing miserable.

4. Vents/thoughts - As said above, I feel awful. Had horrible cramps last night and I mean horrible. I have really bad ones during my cycle too and that's sort of what these reminded me of, but of course they didn't go anywhere. I just laid in bed feeling stabby towards sleeping DH and trying not to cry most of the night. Ugggghhhh. There is not enough concealer in the world to make me look human today.

5. New Years resolution? - I don't usually do them, but I think I'm going to try not to be so grumpy until LO comes - and it would be really nice if he didn't hold me hostage way past his due date so I have some odds of actually following through with that.

MoCo2010 · December 2013

1. Weeks. 37 weeks

2. Team/name. Team Green - Robert or Lucie

3. Upcoming appts/updates. Appt this morning @ 10:55!

4. Vents/thoughts. Getting tired of bank/hip pain, heartburn, everything else hurting, and the contractions. But just normal end of pregnancy stuff!

5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay.. I'll probably try, but I have no idea what they're going to be. On the bright side, I kept last year's and quit biting my nails!

LindsB314 · December 2013

@Ljessen13 I love seeing pics of that cutie!!!

1. 36 weeks
2. Team Green
3. I have an appointment Fri which includes the fun strep b test! I will also get to set up my u/s apt for the following week, yay!
4. I'm so excited to meet this baby but I'm having a hard time knowing Emerson won't be the only child anymore. It's just really hitting me lately and I worry how she is going to adjust. We had such a hard time in the newborn phase since she had colick and I was a mess. What if this baby has it too? How am I going to have any engery left over to care for both of them, myself, our animals, and keep the house up? I also have to make sure I get rest otherwise I will end up in the hospital because of my bladder condition

DH helps a lot but I'm just scared lately. Sorry for the long vent!
5. I like resolutions

I would like to get back to Zumba. I don't know how the heck I'll ever have time to go but even if I can just workout one day a week, I'll be happy!

washyourhandsplease · December 2013

1. Weeks. 38 2. Team/name. Team blue/Lincoln Elijah 3. Upcoming appts/updates. Final appointment today. I'm being induced tomorrow at 6 am. 4. Vents/thoughts. Starting to get nervous about tomorrow but I can't wait to meet my little one. 5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay... Nay

purplepenguin2011 · December 2013

Sorry, @washyourhandsplease i thought you were getting induced today, or that's what my spreadsheet said. So i'll mention you again tomorrow

1. Weeks: 39 weeks today. I'm so ready to get this little one out! I feel like everyone has already had their baby. Does everyone else feel this way?

2. Team/name: Team Green! we are "patiently" waiting

3. Upcoming appts/updates: I have my regular weekly appointment tomorrow and i think i'm going to have my membranes stripped. I'm kind of nervous about that and excited at the same time. I'm hoping that if i don't have this baby tonight that will help. My husband keeps saying maybe we'll have the New Years baby. I honestly don't care i just want it out lol. As the rest of you i'm trying not to read into things too much and just go with the flow, but it's so hard!

4. Vents/thoughts: I'm thinking that if this baby isn't out by next week i'm just going to start my maternity leave. I'm just so uncomfortable and unmotivated that i need to have an end to something in sight.

5. New Years resolution? I'm not going to do it. I just never do. although i do agree with some of you that i'd like to get back into shape. I'm not going to kill myself over it as i hate working out but i would like to do something.

mrskratt · December 2013

1. 39 Weeks
2. Team Pink with no name in sight

3. Upcoming appts/updates- Appointment tomorrow. My midwife hasn't checked my cervix in 3 weeks (which was 0) and I don't know if she will tomorrow. She did offer to strip my membranes if I wanted to, but I am kind of on the fence about that since I'm trying to do the completely drug-free and let nature take it's course. I've come this far, but it is still tempting.
4. Vents/thoughts-- I really thought I was going to have a 2013 baby, but it's not looking that way anymore. She is still setting high and I have no symptoms of labor being even close to near. On the positive- the hubby and I are doing our last date night as just the two of us tonight!!
5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay...
Get in shape and take my baby for lots of walks. Also, spend more time with family!

jblank03 · December 2013

1. Weeks: 37
2. Team/name: Blue/Noah Daniel
3. Upcoming appts/updates: Tomorrow AM, I assume it'll be the first cervical check?
4. Vents/thoughts: I just feel clueless, from packing the hospital stuff to the car seat to what we'll need when we get home, BF'ing, all of it. I'm definitely overwhelmed yet also want baby to be here because I realized I can't read/prepare enough, we will learn as we go.
Oh, and I'd be thrilled if this kid drops soon so I can breathe/eat/sit normally without being in pain. Yet somehow I also have the 'kicked in the crotch' sensation going on simultaneously. Fun times.
5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay...Nay; I'll have post-delivery resolutions of eating better and getting back in shape though.

lmills730 · December 2013

1. Weeks: 36
2. Team/name: Blue, Miles James
3. Upcoming appts/updates.: I have one at 12:45 today!
4. Vents/thoughts: Had a high BP reading last Monday. I'm anxious to see what it is today and if any action is necessary.
5. New Years resolution? Figure out how to be parents? Haha, nothing formal this year.

@jblank03 -

If your baby drops, you won't be sitting normally. You'll be leaning back to take some pressure off your pelvis

You won't be able to reach your feet as well, if at all. It's just a whole different set of problems.

ksonne · December 2013

1. Weeks: 38

2. Team/name: blue, likely Andrew

3. Upcoming appts/updates: this morning, soft cervix and not dilated at all. I'm not surprised bc my cervix stayed completely closed until I went into labor with DS1. Mentally preparing to go late again (DS1 was 9 days late), but I would LOVE for this LO to come on time!

4. Vents/thoughts: my platelets are low again so I will likely not be a candidate for an epidural. We have a doula this time, but if I can get an epidural I will!

5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay.. Just survive 2u2

Shelbiemarie123 · December 2013

1. Weeks: 36

2. Team/Name: Pink, Emma Sophia

3. Apts/Updates: Apt tomorrow checking up on bloodwork & urine catch for high BP

4. Vents/thoughts: Just the typical pregnancy pains and emotions, feeling fed up. Just want to snuggle my baby!

5. New Years resolution: Be the best new mother I can be!

jessicacss · December 2013

1. Weeks. 36

2. Team/name. Pink/ Marina? but I want Mariana

3. Upcoming appts/updates. Next doc visit is on Monday the 6th

4. Vents/thoughts. I just want to work from home! I don't have my license and it is such a production to get to the office.

5. New Years resolution? Yay or nay... Just to be healthy for my daughters!

ashleywiz · December 2013

1. Weeks - 37!

2. Team/name -- Green! Our favorite girl name: Violet Louise, favorite boy name: Zachary Warren (We have 2 backups for each sex if for some reason LO doesn't look like one of those!)

3. Upcoming appts/updates: Signed our lease renewal for the remainder of our HI stay! AH! Weekly appt on Thursday. Waiting waiting.

4. Vents/thoughts: H & I got each other a fitbit for a late Christmas present, and I'm terribly upset there isn't a "pregnant" setting. Seems like there should be!

5. New Years resolution? Just to be prepared for the move in June (AH!) and get this bod back in operating order after baby is born. No special resolutions, really.

LuGal623 · December 2013

1. Weeks: 38 with no end in sight lol
2. Team/name: our little man will eventually have a name
3. Upcoming appts/updates: A weekly check Thurs am
4. Vents/thoughts: Like everyone else I am so ready for this baby and sad that today is my last vacation day and he didn't come so I have to go back to work but DH is off the rest of the week.
5. New Years resolution: Be patient with myself, MH and baby once he gets here. Get back to being healthy as a family.

Mrs.Salt&Pepper · December 2013

1. Weeks. 38

2. Team/name. Pink, Brynn

3. Upcoming appts/updates. Had my weekly check today. No cervical check, not sure why but not real worried about it.

4. Vents/thoughts. Tired of being pregnant for the sole fact that I am just running out of clothes to wear! I have two pair of pants that I actually wear, and everything else is just drab. I wonder if our NYE guests will mind my yoga pants tomorrow night? Who cares!

5. New Years resolution? Not really a New Years reso, but after baby reso, just like every year, clean up the diet and get back to the gym when the doc gives me the green light. I also need to be more patient with DD1... my spirited child

marineshunni · December 2013
