Sunday Ticker Change 6/22!

mrscurlygurl · June 2014

Happy Sunday Ladies!

Now that it's "officially" summer, here's a cute swimming gif for you

I love how kids just fall in when they are "jumping" to you...Also, I wish I had a pool because I would be living in it right now.

How many weeks/what fruit, veggie, thing are you?

Vents or celebrations from the previous week?

Any baby shower deets to share with us?

QOTW: FTMs, what are you most nervous and/or excited about for when baby comes home? ST+Ms, what are you most nervous and/or excited about for when baby comes home?

38 weeks! Baby girl is the size of a pumpkin? Perhaps a smallish one

Stayed tuned for my HBDB pic

Vent: my pregnancy with DS ended with the most ridiculous muscle spasms in my lower left back/side...well, they started happening again yesterday. I hope they don't get as bad as they did with him because they were fairly debilitating and made sleep nearly impossible.

Celebration: I was pretty excited to be able to do my 30 min spin class on Friday. I'm going to miss my gym classes once baby girl comes and I can't get to the gym regularly until she's old enough to go to the daycare there.

I'm most nervous about what will happen with my two year old once we get home. While the first few weeks can be very zombie-like with one newborn...you only have to worry about the newborn. Having an older kid who's not quite independent is going to be interesting. I know I'm lucky because DH works from home, so he'll be around. But once he has to start "working" again, it could get hairy.

I'm 36 weeks and a HONEYDEW! Finally, a fruit I can get behind.

Celebrations: The Army moved my stuff and it's on it's way to GA! They say it will take up to 19 days, but I don't care. I'm getting it. That's all that matters.

Vents: My feet are 2-1/2 sizes bigger than normal. Great.

FTM, nervous about my milk coming in. I really hope I don't have a huge problem bf'ing. Also, DH deploys in October, so I'm hoping he gets enough quality time with DS before he goes

mrscurlygurl · June 2014

Yay for finally getting your stuff @Emilyfae! Hope it comes quicker than 19 days so you have more time for unpacking before baby arrives.

36 weeks and my bug is a Honeydew. Just one month to go!

:-SS <:-P :-S

Vents: working is hard. I can get through the first 8 hours of my shift, but the last 4 are BRUTAL. Also...leaky boobs. Been randomly leaking for a few weeks, so hopefully LO will have no trouble getting colostrum/breast milk. And finally, the ankle & foot swelling. They get so tight!
Celebrations: I treated myself and got the rocker-glider I've been eyeing. I can't wait for it to come in! It's the last big thing we "need" in the nursery.

I have my work baby shower today! I'm so lucky to have amazing coworkers! :x

QOTW: FTM, I think I am most nervous about feeling overwhelmed. Just all the new changes and the times where (even though you've tried everything) the baby will just not stop crying. And keeping our finances in check. I'm excited for the infant class DH and I are going to take soon. I think that will help us both feel a little more prepared.

35 weeks - coconut!

Vents: heartburn, cramps, and some sleepless nights
Celebrations: I think the nursery will be done this week! We also got our car seat (and stroller) this week, which was the only thing we were lacking in the event that LO comes early. So I feel sooo much better having her car seat!

QOTW: I'm kinda nervous about labor and delivery, but am making myself not dwell on it. I'm more nervous about if/how things will change between me and DH. I know that sounds selfish, but I'm so used to it just being us two...adding a third human scares me! Thankfully I'm more excited than nervous about her arrival though. Can't wait to meet our little girl!

mamatomp · June 2014

38 weeks tomorrow, so I am a pumpkin! Which is about how I feel!

Vent: My hips and pubic bone are KILLING me. To the point where I cannot carry DS2 and I'm walking like a sumo wrestler. It is so painful-- never experienced this in my other pregnancies? Told my dr on Thursday and he seemed pretty unconcerned. Whatever.

Celebration: I got my cerclage out! Pretty thrilled that it did it's job and got me to full term! Hoping my body will go into labor on it's own now!

Nothing showery to share-- didn't have one for this baby. Where I live it's pretty typical to have one for every baby, but due to personal reasons I politely declined.

I'm most nervous about how DS2 is going to adjust when this baby comes home. DS1 and DS2 are 5 years apart and DS1 did great from the beginning with DS2. No regression, no jealousy, no acting out... But DS2 is a total mamas boy and I'm worried he's going to freak out about sharing me. I feel like he's still my "baby" and he's about to be in for a rude awakening. I just don't want him to resent me or anything... It's making me feel really guilty!

kwh33ls · June 2014

35 weeks (35 days left!) and a coconut!

Vents/celebrations: school is out for summer, and not a moment too soon! I'm so glad I can spend a few weeks just getting things (including my brain) ready, walking with my dog, and sleeping. On the vent side of things, I am pretty sure I am working on a kidney stone (my second). So I'm drinking even MORE water than normal. I might as well just stay in the bathroom all day. Here's hoping I can pass it without an ER trip or too much pain...although I hear labor is a breeze after a stone.

QOTW: I'm so nervous about how the baby will change things for DH and I. He's my favorite being in the world, and I don't want things to be different. It's been hard enough coping with no sex (he's freaked out by the moving, interactive baby in there) that I don't know how I'll deal with a change in our dynamic. Everyone says it will only be good, but it's nerve wracking anyway.

37 weeks and a winter melon.

Vent: I'm having pain in my public bone, it feels like someone is stabbing me with a knife and twisting it. It's mostly when I put weight on my right leg. It is making everything I do even harder...ack!

Celebrations: The nursery and everything is coming along nicely.
I washed almost all of the baby stuff yesterday. Today my cousin is coming over to help me figure out how to arrange the furniture and decorate. She should be an interior designer while I have no decorating skills whatsoever.

Qotw: I'm really nervous about ppd and things changing between me and my husband. I just read a thread last night in another month club about how hard it is the first month and it made me cry. I'm sure everything will be fine once we are out of the 'zombie' state, I'm just really hoping it's not as hard as I'm envisioning but I'm sure it's going to be much worse.

Hope everyone has a great week!

How many weeks/what fruit, veggie, thing are you? 38 weeks and a pumpkin.

Vents or celebrations from the previous week? I think I had a few contractions yesterday morning (different from the Braxton hicks I get all the time) but they stopped. I should be glad baby's still cooking but I'm ready to get this show on the road!

QOTW: I'm a little anxious about breast feeding. And about how DH & my relationship will change.

37 weeks, baby is a winter melon. Vent/celebration: on Friday I was having some serious contractions that timed out to about 4 mins apart. We went to L&D to get checked out. I continued having contractions that timed to about 2.5 mins. I thought we were having a baby. The nurse checked, and I was dilated to 5 cm. I got checked again later and still 5cm. They kept me for observation overnight and I had ZERO change. They said I was very dehydrated which was causing the contractions. So after IV fluid bags I was sent home. What I am most nervous about is taking care of a newborn and a not so quite independent 2 year old. My next worry is having a newborn and toddler and working full time. My last worry is doing all of that on very little sleep. We were very lucky as DS was a somewhat typical baby, so I'm hoping ds2 follows suit.

36 weeks + 3 days along. Baby is supposed to be the size of a honeydew melon, but according to his growth scan on Thursday, he's about 1.25lbs heavier than he should be...which makes sense. His daddy was 11lbs at birth (and 24 inches long), and his great-grandfather was 15lbs. Baby boys run big on my husband's side! His head is already measuring at 39 weeks. Looking forward to meeting my sweet, big headed baby boy in 18 days (scheduled for a c-section on July 10)!

Most looking forward to holding and snuggling our baby

earichar23 · June 2014

quinncat good luck on Tuesday! Also, I'm so glad to only have one pumpkin in there! I can't imagine how uncomfortable you must be!

alysson.lawless I think that's why I had contractions Saturday morning too, after a lot of water in the morning they stopped. Sort of disappointing after you get yourself mentally prepared to meet your LO!

mrscurlygurl · June 2014

All the luck @quinncat‌!!!

I've been wondering where you were @toriisalemon‌. Sorry to hear things have been rough

Any changes with the ex?

37 weeks - Winter Melon

Vents or celebrations from the previous week?

Not really. I'm definitely excited to feel more comfortable again in the forseable future.

ST+Ms, what are most nervous and/or excited about for when baby comes home?

I'm mostly just nervous about how my daughter will adapt. I'm pretty sure she'll be fine, but it occasionally worries me.

mrscurlygurl · June 2014

@JamieSejkora, can you not take any time at the beginning of the school year? I know it would suck to miss it...but so would going back too soon

Tough...

shortstack930 · June 2014

35 weeks and a coconut!

Vents: Work is definitely getting more difficult. The high stress and constant up and down is getting to me and I am literally counting down the days of work left (24 days). Our supervisor moved to Florida two months ago and they haven't replaced her yet so we're all under a lot of pressure

.

Celebrations: DH and I had our childbirth class this week! It was so great--the woman was super informative and I feel really prepared now.

Baby Shower: Ours was yesterday!! It was really great! My mom and two best friends did such a wonderful job organizing it--they made it Disney princess themed and got LO all different Disney princess onesies that are ridiculously cute. Now I just have to figure out where to put all the gifts we got!

QOTW: I'm a FTM and have literally never taken care of a baby so I'm nervous for just about everything. I have no idea how to change a diaper, bathe a baby, or breast feed, but I am willing to do my best to learn!

alyss0nl · June 2014

@JamieSejkora‌ I'm returning to work September 2, so the kids would've been in school for 3 weeks. The timing is okay, but trying to go back at such an important time is difficult. I was lucky with DS because he was born November 19, and I returned the first week back after winter break. Based on my schedule and if I'm pumping I'm not sure how it would work,but it will. Thinking of you! @earichar23‌ I know, I was kinda bummed, not gonna lie, but I'm glad I was able to get rehydrated after 3 IV bags. I'm just hoping I'm not walking around at 5 cm for much longer...

alyss0nl · June 2014

@kam3100‌ it will be hard in the beginning, like the first month. It was when we had Nathan. But you always have me if you need help or have a question or anything else!!!

brewbecks · June 2014

35 weeks & a coconut

Celebrations: School is finally out! I am more than happy I am able to sleep in and only go into my classroom for a few hours a day to get it set up for the fall.

Vents: I am having difficulty sleeping, barely feel like eating because it is so hot and I always feel full!

QOTW: I have worried sick about how my relationship will change with DH. It has already begun to be different. He is going out with his friends to do things that I can't do anymore, I don't want to discourage him from doing things he loves it just is an awful feeling and I am always worrying. I am also nervous about labor and caring for a newborn. I have never taken care of a baby and am scared out of my mind. I also really want to bf and hope that it works out!

Stuck in grey?

@mrscurlygirl, It may work to not go quite so regularly that first week until I can at least get him in daycare IF he comes on time, but other than that I'm pretty much stuck unless I take the semester off. And, unfortunately, I know myself well enough to know if I took a semester off and got used to being home with him all the time I wouldn't be able to convince myself to go back, and I definitely don't want to do that. It'll work out fine because we have an awesome support system to help us til he's old enough for daycare, I just know it's going to be really hard on me. Major downfall of getting pregnant before I was done with school.

Thanks @alysson.lawless!!

Oh...you mean as a student...not a teacher. I get it now. Okay...well, good luck!

Lavelle7 · June 2014

35+1 the size of a coconut

Celebration: packed baby's hospital bag, put car seat in, and embraced my kids after they lent a helping hand. DH is excited!!

Vent: CANNOT Stand the fact that the male doctor that I am not so fond of will be doing my Group B test Thursday!!! Whhhyyyyy Meeeeee?? Oh well, let's just hope there will not be a cervical check!! Did you ladies get checked then?

I was checked during that appointment. Have fun!

kwh33ls · June 2014

My office gave me fair warning that starting next week, I'll have internal exams to check for progress every time. I also get U/S and NSTs every time from here on out, so I have super long appointments for the rest of gestation...

argonne · June 2014

How many weeks/what fruit, veggie, thing are you? 37 weeks, winter melon.

Vents or celebrations from the previous week? Nope. I'm just plugging along. I'm hoping these random, painful contractions start becoming less random at some point.

Any baby shower deets to share with us? Nope. STM.

ST+Ms, what are you most nervous and/or excited about for when baby comes home? I am very worried about juggling a newborn and my very active almost 4yo.

ariel8200 · June 2014

@Lavelle7‌ I told my doctors up front that I didn't want a cervical check and they had no problem with it. I'm sure it's dependent on the doctor but it doesn't hurt to ask.
