Sorry this is a day late! I'm having the worst case of pregnancy brain lately and I got side-tracked yesterday. I wanted to catch up with all of you personally from last week, so here we go...
First, a huge congrats to @gertiebarden on your rainbow! Continued T&Ps that recovery continues to go well and you get to take little Samuel home soon!
If there have been any other rainbows born that I missed, then congrats to you too and feel free to stop by and update us! (you know, with all the free time you must have now! 
@ArmyMedic7588 How was your appointment? Did you get results from your thyroid tests? Feeling any better?
@becky7683 Glad you had a great shower! When will you start weekly NSTs? Hope all goes well, keep us updates!
@MrsKTen How was your growth scan on Friday? (if you updated elsewhere I'm sorry I missed it) I understand feeling uncomfortable at this stage! I feel like crap 99% of time these days. Kudos for you for keeping up with the gym until now!
@ksyknelvr73 I hope your exam went well! What was it for? Do you have results already?
@ajsweeton Glad you got to bust out of L&D last week! How are you feeling?
@cindythelou Congrats on your success with the GD and keeping your sugars in check! That has to be tough, so kudos!
@Soupy84 Woo hoo for being on mat leave! I'll be working right up until the end, so I'm jealous! I'm glad that the NST went well. Have you had the follow up BPP yet? FX that the abnormal heartbeat has resolved.
@chknma How are you feeling? Sorry that low fluid has you out of commission, but I'm glad they're keeping an eye on you. I know using up your leave time before baby comes must be stressing you out, but just remember it's best for both of you.
@ashtog Sounds like you are in the final stretch and ready to meet LO! I hope baby flips to backside up and stays that way till he comes out!
@QOTR Sorry you had a little freak out last week about movement. I totally understand. I notice less movement while I myself am active as well. As soon as I want to lay down and sleep, it's Dance Party USA in there! Hope you're feeling more calm about it now. (((Hugs)))
@Mikki62 How is the move into the house going? Glad that tax season is over, eh? Are you an accountant or work in finance? Must be a crazy time of year...
@KatyPatrick Hope you're feeling a little better physically this week, although at this stage I'm guessing it'll get worse before it gets better, right? How is your DH doing now that he's home? I hope you guys are in a good place and ready to welcome baby!
@BeesKnees181 Good for you staying physically active and having your "nesting" time! At almost 38 weeks I'm starting to think I'm one of those women who will never get that burst of energy. LOL.
@hcorcoran How was your ultrasound? Is baby in position? Sorry to hear you and DH hit a little rough patch, but it sounds like you worked things out. Hope you're both on the same page.
((((Hugs)))) to everyone else! And now for the updates! Please share below!

Re: ~*PGAL Check-In*~
How many weeks? 37 weeks
How are you feeling? Tired. All the time. That coupled with the fact that I'm not getting much sleep makes it nearly impossible to get through the day without a nap.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Had my 37 week appointment on Tuesday; growth scan is this Friday. According to my OB, I'm at early term now so if I go into labor, they won't do anything to stop it. So happy to be at this point!
Apples and onions? Is it sad that my apple is that I didn't gain any weight this week? I've been feeling really crappy about missing the gym so much, so that made me feel a little bit better. Onion: I found another stretch mark below my belly button. I didn't think it would bother me this much, but it does. Looks like I have a few more weeks to get used to them.
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives? Probably not as active as I once was - I'll still keep up with the goings on and the FB group though.
How many weeks? 36w5d
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Hurting all over and I'm very uncomfortable, I'm ready to have these babies already.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Babies are coming on Monday!! My csection is scheduled and I'm so ready. I wish we could cook them another week, but the MFM is concerned about placenta deterioration so we're taking them out on Monday. So very excited to meet my babies!
Apples and onions?
Apples: babies will be here in 3 days! I'm still on the outside and I have approval to go to church and a family gathering on Sunday so I'm super excited about that.
Onions: had to spend the night in L&D getting around is very difficult and I'm in almost constant pain from somewhere.
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives? We'll see. I hope so, but it may be crazy with twins and a csection. I'm a little nervous about how our day to day is going to work.
How many weeks?
37w 3d
How are you feeling?
Like my ribs will be split open
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week?
Had my 37w appt yesterday just measurement and hr check
Apples and onions?
Apples- pretty much got everything needed for baby to be here ready to go.
Onions- need to clean the house more. Need to pack hospital bag. Need to do a lot of projects around here before baby comes but very little time in which to do them. MIL agreed(very unwillingly) to postpone the shower til after birth but GMA-I-L refuses and is still having it even though we said we werent going. They plan on having this party opening all our gifts then rewrapping them and us coming to get them from them later. We both pretty much just feel hurt and like she is throwing this party all for herself not us and the baby. We didnt get an engagement party, a bridal shower, or even a bachelor/bachelorette party and only my mother, brother, and his wife came to our last shower so this would be the only party we would get and dont want to miss out on it. The people going are his family I haven't met and I find it rude to take their gifts without ever even meeting them. I told DH last night if I am not too progressed and physically feel well enough we can go cause I really dont want to miss this experience.
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives?
I will try
DH crap:
This got long so short version so you can skip essay below
He is off drugs finally. Yay. He cut off the coworker who was riding with him and giving him drugs and now that kid just quit yesterday so shouldn't be bothered with him anymore. I've seen the texts in his phone of others seeing if DH has any drugs and him telling them he has quit. DH is having a lot of trouble at work cause he mostly works with black guys and gets along with them and his supervisors are racist so they discriminate against them and DH cause he isn't racist like them. They blame things on him that aren't his fault and basically just hold him back and try to find anything they can to fire him. So he comes home from long hard days in shitty moods and I listen to him Bitch but if I try to get him to help around her with farm or baby stuff he gets all pissed at me cause he works his ass off to provide for us and I shouldn't expect anything from him when he gets home. Let's see I'm 9mths pregnant taking care of a farm and everything for our very soon to be here baby while having severe pelvic, rib, back, feet pain and severe BH if I am remotely active. I'm sorry if I'd like some help. Since he got back (after the weekend he got back) he has been off one day. Couldn't even do anything round here really cause we had to drive an hr away to go to his nephews bday party. I guess he finally got his reality check in Mississippi cause he quit drugs and is now working as much as he can pretty much everyday and even pulled a 16 (usual is 10) on Tues. So now we pretty much just fight about him not being here to help get shit done before baby and he feels like I am attacking him for doing the right thing. He thinks a big check will make up for the fact that he is not here. Today is a paid holiday but they offered him the 8hrs holiday pay plus pay for a reg 10hrs if he came in and most likely will work tomorrow too and who knows maybe even easter. All while I struggle to get things done around here and hope these rabbits currently in the kitchen get moved outside by the time baby come. I brought them up last night and he tells me why would it matter baby will sleep in our room? Uh hello newborn won't only be in our room 24/7 and does not need to be around rabbit piss shit and fur! Well that became a WAY bigger rant than I meant sorry
How are you feeling? Tired, started contracting on Tuesday, Tax Day!, and am on bed rest for the next two weeks.
Apples and onions? Apples: tax season is over! Onions: Bed rest is boring and uncomfortable. But it's worth it to keep him in longer.
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives? Some, life gets busier but it's fun to see how everyone is doing from time to time. That's how it was after DD.
I still worry some days about movements, but I try to remind myself that it's normal for him to be more active on some days. Today seems to be a lazy day for him.
How many weeks? 35

No worries. I barely know what day of the weeks it is most days now ;-)
How many weeks? 37ish
How are you feeling? Okay overall- off and on pelvic bone pain.... some painful contractions at night tend to freak me out a little( but they are doing something because I've actually started to efface and dilate! Never did until my induction with DD)
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week?
Spent 24 hours I l&d last weekend for IV fluid. Back to l&d again today until tomorrow for another round. Might be having baby this weekend, but most likely next week when we're a few days further
Apples and onions? A- my office threw me a mini shower. Cute little baby gifts and they even got a sugar free cake since I'm GD. It was so sweet. O-another night trying to sleep while getting pumped full of fluids and having to pee even more then usual ahead

Welcomed our rainbow baby 5/20/2014! It's a girl!
Apples- I was nominated for Teacher of the Year. I will find out next week if I am chosen. I was really honored just to be on the ballot.
Onions- This who situation on TB this week is bumming me out. People can be really crappy sometimes. It makes me feel a little better that so many May mommas wanted to help a late loss mom.
How many weeks? 34 weeks
How are you feeling? Feeling pretty good - getting tired, and hating the heartburn! Still some anxious moments but pushing through!
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Just a quick check to be sure I wasn't leaking fluid - Dr. said I needed to come in. All is fine!
Apples and onions? Apple - being on school vacation! Onion - being home makes me want to snuggle a sweet baby while on maternity leave. Soon enough!
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives? I hope so!
Apples: My Mom & Sister were here last weekend for my baby shower. Mom was here until Tuesday, so she was able to come with me to my u/s. She is so freaking adorable! This is her first grandchild and she was so surprised and honored that I wanted to include her at the u/s. Moments like this make me really wish that I had done more to be a better daughter when I was a teen.
Onions: We found out this week that MIL has breast cancer and needs to have a partial mastectomy in the next 3 weeks. This has hit DH and his family hard as MIL is the exact age (I thought she was off by a year at first) that her own mother passed away from breast cancer. I am worried that LO will come and I wont be able to be as involved in the support she will need after her surgery. Hoping baby stays put until she has her surgery so I can visit with her and try to help out around the house.

How many weeks? 34 weeks, 3 days
How are you feeling? Pretty good overall.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? I have a regular OB appt on Thursday, should just be routine.
Apples and onions? Apples: Had yesterday off work so that was nice, got my hair done, had a girls night, all pretty fun stuff. This weekend is Easter so today we get to relax and tomorrow we'll have church and family stuff. Onions: Weather really sucks right now, it's cold and rainy. I hope this clears up before tomorrow.
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives? I'm really not sure. From my experience with having DS, it was hard to get on as much when he was a newborn. But I will probably try.
ksyknelvr73 I hope your exam went well! What was it for? Do you have results already?
It is for the CPA exam (accounting), and we have to take 4 exams total. This was my last one and hopefully I passed it. I don't get the results until May 2nd, it's brutal having to wait!!

How are you feeling? Sore, tired, "nesty" and a little hormonal.
Any appointments, ultrasounds, or milestones this week? Weekly stress tests and doctor appointments now...Can see 37 weeks in the distance and just hope we can get these twin girls to tht point, so we have a lower chance of dealing with breathing issues. They did give me the steroid shots for lung development, so hopefully the girls are beefing up in there and figuring out the breathing, sucking and swallowing part of being outside babies.
Apples and onions? Apples - loving Spring. No onions...
GTKY: Will you continue to be active on the board after LO arrives? I have no idea...I am guessing I will want to sleep in my free time. But, I do hope to come back on here and check in with folks every so often.
