Any questions?Symptoms? Holy swollen legs and feet. I mean, it pretty much looks like I have elephantiasis at this point.
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow is my last OB visit. Baby is being forced to enter this world next Wednesday if it doesn't come before then.
GTKY: What is/will be the most unusual item in your hospital bag? Hmmmm.....I should probably pack that. I don't think I will have anything too strange. I do want to pack nail clippers for the baby. My son was born with super long fingernails, and it drove me nuts to not be able to clip them last time.
Any questions? Symptoms? contractions, contractions, contractions!
Upcoming appointments? this morning at 9CST
GTKY: What is/will be the most unusual item in your hospital bag? My bag is 1/2 packed and can't really think of anything "unusual". I have lanolin ointment for me & a crochet bow tie that that can be used as a headband or a necktie depending on gender.
How big is baby? Pumpkin Any questions? Symptoms? Tops of feet hurt from swelling and pelvic girdle pain is getting to be unbearable Upcoming appointments?

Any questions? Symptoms? Lots and lots of pressure. I am hoping this means baby is getting ready and we avoid induction (my doctor may induce me between 39-40 weeks because of my fluid levels and baby isn't engaging and I have not dilated.)
Upcoming appointments? Thursday BPP, NST and 38 week appointment. We will discuss the game plan as well. If I show progress we won't schedule an induction until my due date and hope my body does it's thing. If I don't likely we will schedule between 39 and 40 weeks.
GTKY: What is/will be the most unusual item in your hospital bag? A bottle of wine. Yup. I am packing one. I just have to decide which one.
@shannonliggett - YAY for squishy pics. He is so cute!! Those cheeks need to be smooshed. And lol at your DH - the last time my H packed for me for a camping trip, he brought three bras, two shirts and no pants. Good times.
@shannonliggett, baby Caleb is adorable. Thanks for the info. This is my third and I had no idea. See, I knew there was a reason why I hadn't packed my hospital bag yet!
How big is baby? Watermelon and a big one! At US at 38.3 wks estimate was 8.5lbs!!! Yickes!
Any questions? Symptoms? Pain from swelling/pressure, uncomfortable, heart burn just ready to get baby out!
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow to see what the plan is. After our US doc hinted she might be scheduling something this Thursday. She is only at our hospital Thursdays....at this point if she says CS due to size that's fine w me! I don't know if I can go on much longer. But she may decide to wait. She pretty much said she does not want to induce early bc of chance it won't work. So fingers crossed that she does the right thing for me and my lil man!
GTKY: What is/will be the most unusual item in your hospital bag? 3 different cameras to hopefully be able to get a clear picture. For some reason all our cameras when used by others produce blurry pics! I don't get it!!!! I think it's the zoom feature and people don't let it adjust before snapping the pic. I miss analog film cameras lol. I know we prob need to get better ones. Most my shower pics my friend took with DHs camera were blurry but when we use it it's fine. BIZZARE!

GTKY: What is/will be the most unusual item in your hospital bag? have not packed one yet. i am the throw things in a bag at the last minute type of girl.
