    Week/Fruit: 40 weeks/Jackfruit (plusalso jackfruits are scary - see pic below)
    Symptoms: Oh the usual, RLS, heartburn, cramping, lower back pain and no baby!
    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: I had an appointment last Friday, I was still only 1 cm and no effacement, but a -1 station. OB stripped my membranes - felt awesome. Follow-up appointment on Monday and was 2 cm (could stretch to 3cm) and 30% effaced. I have yet another appointment tomorrow...this kid likes it way too much in there. 
    Rants/Raves: Rants: I've had periods of up to 12 hours of cramping and lower back pain, but nothing time-able, a constant, dull achy cramping with no peaks. This has gone on for days - I just wish something would happen...mucus plug, water breaking, contractions...something to let me know my body is working on getting the goods out! Rave: We are completely ready for this baby! 
    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go! I literally have no ideas yet, so I'm counting on you lovely ladies to give me an idea I can steal....so make it good :) 

    Google image of lady holding scary Jackfruit - wtf? Seriously?

    Week/fruit: 41 weeks (oh yeah!) and still a jackfruit

    Symptoms: hip pain, numbness in hands and fingers, cramps, back pain

    Upcoming appointments/updates: appointment this morning...last week I was not dilated at all with a soft cervix so here's hoping with the symptoms I've been having including some blood tinged discharge and possible mucous plug loss that something's changed! Would love to get a stretch and sweep!

    Rant/rave: rant: I'm still pregnant lol I'm actually worried about needing to get induced next week if LO doesn't come on his own
    Rave: DH is with me today and will come to my ultrasound appointment on Friday if needed

    Father's Day gift: something sentimental...I'm thinking like a hand or foot imprint with a photo of them for his desk at work

  • Week/Fruit: 40wks jackfruit

    Symptoms: heartburn, tight stomach pretty much 24/7, tiredness, pure uncomfortableness

    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: ultrasound tomorrow, followed by regular doctor appointment. To discuss the results, and what to do next.

    Rants/Raves: I'm kinda frustrated people who's EDD is after mine are having their babies before me. I just want this baby out!!

    I'm excited to see baby on the screen again and get an estimate as to how big this child is. I just have to remind the tech we are team green so to warn us to look away if she goes down into the genital area

    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go! I found a poem it's title is "Walk with me, Daddy" I'm going to print it out and then do the baby's foot prints under it and frame it. I found the poem on Pinterest.

    Week/Fruit: 38/pumpkin

    Symptoms: killer carpal tunnel syndrome, exhaustion/laziness, whacked-out emotions, pelvic discomfort, suddenly craving nothing but the most disgusting junk food (which makes me more exhausted and lazy...lather, rinse, repeat)

    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: last checkup tomorrow morning! currently waiting for the nurse to call me back to let me know if I need to go to triage today--baby was completely unresponsive for 5 hours last night, which is unusual for her and was scary for me

    Rant: I hate the emotional roller coaster I'm on right now, and the mixed feelings I'm having. I'm feeling so protective of DS and so sad that he'll no longer be the baby that I'm having a hard time staying excited about the baby that will be here a week from tomorrow.

    Rave: I worked out last night and didn't die. And I've only gained 11 or 12 lbs so far this pregnancy, which is a big deal for me because of the weight I started at.

    GTKY -- Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go!: I'm buying DH a drill extension bit and a small deep fryer for FD, and the new baby is going to wear an "Our First Father's Day" onesie I picked up a few weeks ago.

  • Week/Fruit: 38 weeks, pumpkin.

    Symptoms: Peeing a lot, not sleeping well at all.

    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: 38 week appt tomorrow, to my knowledge just the regular stuff. But we are supposed to schedule my induction as well - I've had elevated BP and really bad swelling and so the tentative plan was to induce next Thursday, the 22nd.

    Rants/Raves: Rants - I am SO OVER work. The sitting makes the swelling worse, and I don't really have anything to do either b/c I have transitioned my work to the people who will be covering while I am out. So I'm bored, my work clothes don't really fit, and I get super swollen. In addition, I am now sick....not sure if it's just a cold or something more serious, but my throat and ears are bothering me. Raves - I only have 4 more days of work so I guess I can suck it up until then.

    For this Father's Day, I am doing a "beach themed" present for DH. Got him some new flip flops, a new beach towel, and this "spiker" thing where it holds your drinks on the beach (it's kind of like a cup holder on a stake). We are going to the beach in July so this is good timing.
    For his first Father's Day, I got him a sweet frame that said "Me and my little man" and put a picture of him and DS in it and he loved it so much.

  • Week/Fruit: 40 weeks/ jackfruit
    Symptoms: complete discomfort: RLP, achy lady parts, sore back, super tired, impatience!
    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: 40wk appt. tomorrow - hoping they tell me there's some progress, but I'm not hopeful :(  I'm gonna ask for another membrane sweep to see if that helps at all.
    Rants/Raves: Rant: this kid isn't showing any signs of wanting to come out and I'm so uncomfortable. And I fear I'll go all the way til the 20th for my RCS.
    Rave: finally got the nursery shelves hung and now it's basically complete and ready for little miss. :)
    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go! oh gosh, I dunno. I'm terrible with Father's Day gifts.  DH had DD1 finger paint a homemade candle and plant a flower at local nursery for me. so cute!  I have no idea what to do for Father's Day :(

    Week/Fruit: Baby will be 2 weeks old tomorrow!

    Symptoms: Some soreness, tired, but that's about it.

    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: I had my two week incision check this morning. OB said everything looks great. He gave me the go ahead to start walking now, and the elliptical in two weeks. No running or ab work for at least another month though.

    Rants/Raves:
    Rants: Just getting anxious to start really working out. I have 20lbs of baby weight left to lose. Also, DH has to go out of town for work soon for a few days and I'm getting nervous about three little ones on my own!
    Raves: DH's work hired a nanny for me for this week to help around the house and with my older kiddos. She is a friend of ours and it is so nice to have the extra help. Also- got LO's newborn photos back and am relieved that she got a few really cute ones because he would NOT cooperate for them. :-)

    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go!
    I got DH a shirt and tie from a British company that he loves. (He likes clothes and mostly wears suits for work.) They had an amazing sale and the shirt and tie are gorgeous. Our anniversary is this month so I am planning to get him cufflinks with our initials and wedding date on them for that.

    Here's one of my faves of our little guy from his session:

    Week/Fruit:
    40 weeks, jackfruit

    Symptoms:
    All the same, acid reflux, tingly fingers on the right hand, swelling in hands and feet, exhausted, peeing all the time, lots of cramping and pressure

    Upcoming Appointments/Updates:
    Just had my appointment today. I am now 3 cm dilated and my OB said she does not expect me to make it another week, She offered me an induction tomorrow, but I opted to wait another week. I was not expecting the offer and it was tempting but I would rather let my body go on its own. Also had a membrane sweep today, I had one last week as well but am more dilated, so here is hoping!

    Rants/Raves:
    Rant: I am still pregnant, I am sick of working,, I am getting sick of family calling, we will tell you people when I go into labor! I am still waiting for the daycare lady U would like to sue to get back to me on my schedule for this year, is it really this hard to figure out if you can do it or not?
    Raves: My Mom has been here this week and I don't think I have ever had so much clean laundry or dishes done at a time! We have everything ready for this baby. DH got me a lovely necklace with all our birthstones for my first Mother's Day. I have gotten all the projects at work done that I wanted to before I go on leave.

    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go!
    I have nothing. DH requested I let him get a tattoo he has been wanting to get, but it is very expensive and am not sure we can afford it with me on leave. I know he has wanted ti for a long time as well and before he asked was thinking of putting something towards it as an anniversary present. So I think for Father's Day I would like something small and sentimental, but no clue what!

    Week/Fruit:  38
    Symptoms:  Contractions, cramps, etc....nothing consistent, though.
    Upcoming Appointments/Updates:  Appointment tomorrow morning, hoping I can get her to do a sweep and move things along.
    Rants/Raves:  Rant:  I'm sick of early labor signs.  Baby needs to get a move on.  Raves:  I got nothin ATM....
    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go!
    My DH is useless when it comes to this, because i have no idea what to get him.  What's worse, his birthday is on Father's Day this year.  I have no idea, probably end up getting him a game or figurines that he's been looking at.

    Week/Fruit: 38 weeks, pumpkin
    Symptoms: Contractions
    Upcoming Appointments/Updates: Appointment tomorrow, my dr wants to check me so we'll see if there's any progress.
    Rants/Raves: I don't like painful contractions. If I'm in labor, that's fine, but otherwise they are just really annoying.
    GTKY: Thinking ahead here...Father's Day gift ideas...and go! I don't know. DH buys everything he wants so it's hard to buy for him.
