3) Any other children? Furbabies?

I've been dealing with some pretty major back pain the past few days. Seems to have subsided...I forced myself to take some walks and that seems to have helped.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
I have an u/s today, to see where my placenta is at.
QOTW: How did you meet your significant other?
I had split up with a fiance and was on a long break from dating. I finally decided to give online dating one more shot (I had met soooo many duds as well as people I just didn't click with) and he wrote to me, commenting on a band I liked (it was his favorite). He seemed a little shy so I asked him out.
April 3, 31 weeks tomorrow which will be a pineapple
2) Age at delivery? (optional) 41
3) Any other children? Furbabies? 2 kitties and one dog
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
I just cannot get comfortable at night to sleep. And trying to rearrange myself and my pillows requires so much effort I usually just stay in whatever uncomfortable position I am in since there seems to be no relief. Also getting some occasional (sciatic?) pain down the back of my legs.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Took a tour of the maternity ward where I will be delivering with DH last week. That made things feel very real! Glad we did it, I feel better having seen where I will be and the staff/hospital looks very nice (though truthfully I have nothing to compare to).
QOTW: How did you meet your significant other?
We originally met at work but did not date at the time (I had a crush on him but had a no-work-dating policy with myself). A few years after we had both moved on to new jobs, we ran into each other at a basketball game and have not been apart since!
2) Age at delivery is 40
3) 1 doggie, he's such a good boy!
4) feeling ok. In the last week I've noticed shortness of breath heading up the stairs.
5) last RE appointment is Thursday. I'm a bit nervous to move back to a normal OB/Gyn
5) Met in college, we were both waiters at the same restaurant. I thought he was an arrogant jerk. Good looking though!

4) How are you feeling? Pretty much ready for this pregnancy to be over. Constant back pain, contractions off and on daily, unable to sleep more than an hour or two at a time, and pretty much uncomfortable all the time. New symptoms this week? Not really a new symptom but I'm pretty much on bed rest now. I'm working from home for the remainder of my pregnancy and have only been able to go out once in the past week and a half and that was for my baby shower. I'm going stir crazy. On top of that I think I've finally hit the nesting phase but I can't do any if the things I want to do. I have to constantly nag DH to do everything and he is the worst procrastinator so it's driving me insane!
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Next follow up is feb. 6th
QOTW: How did you meet significant other? I met DH not on a dating website, not on Facebook, but on Myspace! His cover photo was a scene from the movie Office Space which I love so I sent him a message telling him that I liked his cover photo. We started out just talking online occasionally then after about 6 months finally met. We hung out as friends for a few years and finally started dating about 6 years ago. We have been married for two years now and looking forward to growing our family.
