  • How far along are you and how are you feeling? If you have an induction or cs date please share!

    I will be 34 weeks on Friday and RCS is scheduled for 8am on April 4th - days after my birthday! I will be 39 weeks. Feeling good overall although I did cry last night because my husband ate his snack downstairs and I thought he was coming right back up. In retrospect maybe I overreacted (although in my defense, he usually comes right back upstairs so obviously I would be like "what are you doing?" when he was gone for like 15 minutes!


    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby?

    We have never lived in Iowa in the spring so I'm not sure what to expect!! I'm assuming it'll still be cool. I bought a little fleece over-suit in case it's freezing still.

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship?

    We are a stronger team than ever, especially after our loss that we had in the spring, we are truly a team (unless one of us eats our snack downstairs, apparently!)

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl?
    Nope!

  • Hi homediva, thanks for always posting these!! :)

    How far along are you and how are you feeling? If you have an induction or cs date please share! 34w4d, feeling like crap. Sleeping is a thing of the past and I confirmed yesterday that baby flipped transverse breech last week after 5 weeks of being head down. Hoping it figures out where the exit is. Only positive is that we net an ultrasound in two weeks to check positioning and I get to see LO again. 

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? I'm in MA, so April is still damn chilly. I'm going to need to remember to bring blankets to the hospital for baby to use going home, because there's no way I'm buying a jacket in NB size. 

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? My husband is freaking out and when he freaks out he gets distant. Outside baby is going to be easier for husband to relate to, right now it's just the terrifying idea of fatherhood he's contemplating rather than a small creature actively puking on him. I don't feel like myself either and I can't wait to go back to being me (even mommy-me) rather than this strange woman who can't sleep and is always in pain. I think we'll have it rough the first couple of months but we'll muscle through it. 

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl?
     I've started dreaming of baby pretty much every night and it's always a girl. Who knows, I'm pretty sure it's all wishful thinking.

  • How far along are you and how are you feeling? If you have an induction or cs date please share! 33w2d. I'm feeling good, just tired. I've had trouble sleeping, usually because I wake up every time I roll over. 

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? I figure it'll be highs in the 40's. it's April, Chicago...rain, chilly. Maybe it'll be warm, but I doubt it. 

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? I'd say we're stronger as a unit. More focused on the end goal. DH has been great about keeping up with tasks to get everything ready for baby. Normally he procrastinates a lot, but he's been very prepared and it's been great. 

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl?
     
    I've been having birth dreams, but then when it comes time for them to announce the sex, they just hand me the baby. No one says anything!

    I'm 33w4d - feeling okay, just exhausted all of the time.

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? 

    I'm hoping for the 60s. April here can be either be in the 40-50s or in the 70-80s. But I have a a cotton outfit packed and a fleece just in case. 

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship?  

    Honestly sex, I miss it, hubby is weirded out by it. In other ways, I think our relationship has grown stronger. He's been really hands on with prepping and is always there to help me when I get stuck on the couch or am just too tired to do the dishes or vacuum. 


    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl? 
    I haven't had one recently, but have had 4 dreams and in all of them the baby was a boy.
  • How far along are you and how are you feeling? 30 weeks and feeling great!

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? Hmm... I'm on the west coast, in BC, and I'm due at the very end of April, so it should be pretty spring-like! Lots of shoots coming up in the garden, April rain, cherry blossoms, promisingly warm days... Spring is my favorite time of year :)  

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? With DH you mean? Well, not much really. We're less physically intimate right now, but that's to be expected at this point and DH's being a good sport about it. My first pregnancy dramatically affected our relationship, as it's a big transition to go from a couple who can give 100% of their attention to their SO, to parents that have to divide their time and affections between family members. And it's usually a high stress time because there are extra financial pressures, the anxiety of anticipating a big change, feeling ill-equipped for a huge new responsibility, etc. I remember we bickered a lot... I think DH felt insecure at times. This time around, there's beenm none of that... The nursery was already done, we already have all the baby stuff, we already know what a newborn is like and what to expect, etc. It's been really nice! 

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl? I dream that it's a girl constantly... never that it's a boy.

    Nope. Ohio should totally not have snow by the middle of April. *SHOULD*
    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? 
    Can't say much has changed.

    31 weeks exactly today! Feeling ready to be done. I haven't slept well in weeks and the heartburn is a bitch! In addition to the typical my belly is getting bigger and making everything sore/ache/hurt!

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? 

    In theory we shouldn't have snow any more by the end of April in MI. But based on the way that this whole winter has gone I am convinced that it is never going to get warm again! In theory it should be in the upper 50's-60's but I will be happy if we are above freezing and its not actively snowing!

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? 

    As if right now there doesn't seem to be much if any affect in our relationship. there are times that we fight and such, mainly because of my emotions being out of control. But DH has been a real champ and is being very supportive.

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl?

    I have had an inkling throughout the whole pregnancy that this LO is a boy. I have had multiple dreams about baby and baby has always been a boy and even been named what we plan to use if LO is a boy. But we will have to wait like 9 more weeks to see for sure.

    34 weeks today! belly is measuring at 38 weeks! US on march 10th to double check babies growth. Feeling just as tired as everyone else. 2 and a half weeks till my mat leave starts!!

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? 
    ugh, cold and snowy. (in Alberta, Canada)

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? 
    less sex I guess? (poor hubby)
    I think things will change AFTER baby arrives. Nothing has really changed so far! 

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl?

  • How far along are you and how are you feeling? If you have an induction or cs date please share! 33 Weeks today Things have been so busy and I am trying to play catch up cause we are moving soon.  I am feeling pretty good, they moved me to medication for my GD which I was not too happy about, so now I have to be closly monitored and go to the Dr twice a week.  Side note the baby is not going to be going past 39 weeks so I am still hoping the baby will come on his/her own.  Also we got a sneak peak ultra sound today and I was so proud of myself that I still didn't want to know :) The LO is weighing in at 4.5 lbs.

    What do you expect the weather in your area to be like around the time when you are bringing home baby? I would love a sunny Carolina Blue Sky, and in the 60s-70s but we will see how it goes. 

    In what ways has this pregnancy affected your relationship? It really has made DH and I so much closer than we were before.  

    Any recent dreams that made you think you were having a boy or a girl? Had a dream last night that it was a girl and we were calling her by name.
