I feel pretty good, although I am slowing down a little bit and definitely feeling bigger.

Raves: DH and I went on a 7-mile hike this past weekend, and I am so proud of myself. One guy on the trail said, "Oh, great, we're being shown up by an expectant mother."

I am a regular hiker, so I wasn't pushing myself outside of my comfort zone or anything, and I did go slower than normal.

Mini rant: My Zumba instructor this morning said, "What, no baby yet?" I told her I still had two months to go! I guess this means I am looking large. :-D

Our Kindle, so DH and I can play Scrabble between contractions; My smartphone so I can listen to music and maybe even check in here; makeup, so I can have some non-scary, postpartum photos taken (even though that might be wishful thinking)

We are team green so it will be uneventful in that respect. I also have a regular OB appt on Friday. Excited to go to Montana in July to visit our good friends! Going to be interesting flying with 3 kids!

QOTW: What are three non-essentials that you absolutely want in your bag when you arrive at the hospital/birthing center? Or, if you are planning a home birth, what are three things you want in the room? I would die without some sort of lip balm or chapstick, I also need ear-plugs to help me sleep (I use them every night since I sleep with a grizzly bear) and I bring little framed pictures of my girls as focal points during labor. It helps me remember what I get at the end of all the hard work!

Have a great week ladies and stay cool if you're in a hot zone!!

I didn't care about a damn thing when I got to the hospital last time. After the birth I was glad to have some nice clothes and my toiletries. But upon arriving at the hospital, I just wanted it all to be over! lol.

Lady2010 · June 2014

Jan 24. I am 7 weeks, 5 days. Baby is the size of a blueberry (and can I say the size of the fruits in the later months are starting to scare me!)

2) Age at delivery? (optional)
37

3) Any other children? Furbabies?
Nope - this is our first!

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
Ehh - not awesome, not horrific. I have good days and bad. I have gotten the fatigue under control somewhat - or just am used to it. The nausea comes and goes but is getting worse.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

Next appt isn't until the 24th. We have our final u/s with the RE then and in the afternoon my first appt with the nurse-midwife. Only quasi-rant - could have my final u/s next week but DH is traveling and wants to be there hence it isn't until the 24th. Annoyed since that is one more week we have to wait but of course it is really sweet that DH wants to be there.
