EDD/Weeks: 32 weeks, Nov 2

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, sore hips, lots of movement (my belly just jiggled like a bowl full of jelly!)

Updates: Nursery painted and coming together, I see the dentist tomorrow and my ob/gyn again next week

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? - this past weekend DH and I went to the PA Ren Faire, went swimming at my in-laws and watched Doctor Who. I'm going to a Gentle Yoga class twice a week, and swimming also feels really great. Yesterday I floated around my in-laws pool with my chest and arms on a raft and my belly hanging in the water. Very relaxing!

EDD/Weeks: 29 weeks, 11/24
Symptoms: crazy movement, trouble sleeping, general achiness

Updates: taking 3 hr GTT right now, appt next Tuesday at ob. Waiting on results from my thyroid sonogram.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Trying to just spend some quality time with my husband and family. Still too much to do to really relax yet!

xiaopeapod · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/3, 32 weeks!

Symptoms: Acid reflux and generally less energy than pre-pregnancy.

Updates: Having GD still sucks, but getting to know what I can and cannot handle now.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive?

Went to Disneyland with DH last weekend for our Babymoon. Then this past weekend, we kept to ourselves, slept in, took long naps, ate out and caught a movie. All things we won't be able to do when LO arrives!

Melodyhay · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: November 10th / 31 weeks

Symptoms: Tailbone pain, tossing and turning at night, heartburn, some swelling

Updates: Great appt on Friday. LO lookin' good! Sunday we went to our first birthing class. Eek!

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Enjoying my quiet life at home as much as possible.

sweetbabyrahe · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 31w1d 11/9
Symptoms: hip pain , a ton of baby movement, pregsomnia
Updates: got put on bed rest last week because I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced so I've been going crazy, but I was unchanged today so hoping to go back to work at 34 weeks

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Enjoying DS as an only child and a child that sleeps through the night

wallygirl · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: Nov 23 / 29 weeks

Symptoms: trouble sleeping feels like I have to change positions every 30-45 min because something starts hurting, spd pain

Updates: dr appt next week

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? I don't see much relaxing in our future. DH work schedule has been nuts and we are running out of time to get ready for this LO. DD's bday and party is coming up soon. We are going to try to take a babymoon sometime around the beginning of October.

beatrixkiddo19 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: Nov 23 - 29 weeks

Symptoms: constantly have to pee, lots of movement, random fatigue

Updates: Getting closer on choosing a name! We've got one we like, but we're not telling anyone yet. Want to make sure we love it and it's "the one" before we share and get opinions we may or may not like. Just started the every two weeks Dr appointments, so I'll go back next week.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? I turned in my 2 weeks notice for one of my group exercise classes on Friday. I'm hoping I didn't do it a week too late. I know that doesn't sound like relaxing, but it's a huge relief to know it won't be on my plate for much longer.

Lilwatz · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/3, 32 weeks!

Symptoms: sore legs all the time, painful pelvis joints, I've mastered the slow waddle...; recently I am wide awake at 4am..super fun...

Updates: Doctor said he plans to induce at 39 weeks--get to meet baby girl one week sooner than expected! Nursery is being painted tomorrow and the crib and glider come Wednesday! Excitement is abounding!

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? We just moved so I will not be relaxing until I get the house ready for baby! Who knows when that will be? But I do find satisfaction in organizing and unpacking, so it's sort of relaxing on its own.

brichar31 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: Nov 24/ 29 Weeks!

Symptoms: Swollen feet at the end of the day, fatigue, braxton hicks

Updates: No updates really...I had a PSL on Saturday and a Pumpkin Spice Muffin on Sunday!

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Trying to enjoy time with DS before he is no longer an only child.

moroccojade · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: Nov 30, 28 weeks

Symptoms: Nice round belly and some BH, but otherwise, hip/pelvic pain is GONE! And I feel the best sort of normal right now. (Don't hate me.) I really tuned up my diet the last week and I think it really made a difference.

Sleeping well, decent amounts of energy, no cravings... it is really freaking nice. (And I pray it lasts.

)

Updates: MW appt today, I haven't met this one yet, so I am looking forward to that. (I have a team of 4 looking after me.) Then, I get my hair done. And dinner tonight for my 11th anniversary. I already know what I am ordering. (Big, fat, yummy scallops and a wicked salad.)

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? I can't think of anything specific... but I really should. The next 12-ish weeks will fly. I am going to read your answers now and get some ideas!

sparklingwhit · September 2014

11/3 32 weeks

I am having THE WORST heartburn at night and it's kept me up a few nights this week. Other than that it's just the same backache and constant appetite changes.

I have my 32 week checkup today. I'm going to ask how much an elective u/s would be and hopefully find out when my 2 week appts start for me.

I've been finishing up renovations around the house mostly. Relaxing when I can.

SweetMelissa5 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/10 - 31 weeks

Symptoms: Nausea seems to be making a comeback, and I just threw up for the first time in a few months. I'm hoping this doesn't become a regular thing.

Updates: I found out at my appointment last week that I passed my 1 hour glucose test, and I'm now going every two weeks, so my next appointment is next Tuesday.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? School just started, and all of my kids are going at least two mornings a week, so I'm trying to enjoy the approximately six hours of alone time I get each week (although I also have doctor's appointments and preschool events scheduled for some of those days).

Allyvaughan86 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/23--29 weeks!

Symptoms: Not much new! Still having trouble sleeping and now if I'm on my feet for a long time, my back aches..

Updates: nothing new! Still not a hole lot of progress with my husband... I'm beginning to lose hope. He really let me down this past weekend :-(

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Well, I'm getting my hair done today and will be taking Maternity pictures with my friend in the next couple weeks! I've got 3 baby showers planned in the next month! Other than that, these last couple months will probably be the most stressful! I'm looking for a house to move into now so I can have a nursery for my little girl but I'm down to the wire!!!

dnetherl · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/3, 32 weeks!

Symptoms: carpal tunnel in both hands/wrists, sore feet, hip pain during the night from laying on my side

Updates: Our crib should arrive today, so I am hoping the hubby puts it together tonight. My next OB appt is this Friday, so I will know how much baby weighs and if she is ahead of schedule. I'll also have my first pelvic exam, so I am praying that my cervix is nice and long with no dilation. My baby shower is in 2 weeks, so I am focused on ensuring my family has all the preparation done ahead of time.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive?

Nothing out of the ordinary, just trying to stay off my feet as much as possible.

AnnieRoo13 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: November 9/ 31 weeks

Symptoms: The usual I guess- constipation, some back pain and trouble sleeping at night. I feel pretty good though, so I can't complain.

Updates: Next appointment is September 17- it's my first every two week appointment. I'm excited because that means we're getting to the end! I passed my GD test and everything looked good with my blood etc.

GTKY: I don't know what we're doing to relax to be honest! I feel like we have so much to do and so we don't have a lot of time to relax. We do have baseball tickets for September 24 and I'm hoping to book a hotel and have a nice dinner as well. We're in a wedding this weekend and have a hotel for two nights. It won't be particularly relaxing as we'll be busy, but it will be fun.

mander82 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/17 30 Weeks, 10 to go !!!!

Symptoms: all the pains. What is the behind my bush pain? its so painful!! I just want to tell people that my vagina hurts.....but I know its not my vagina.....lol. I guess its probably my pelvic bone ??

Back pain, hip pain, feet swelling, stretch marks, tired from not sleeping, always hot, no matter what the tempature is around me, itchy belly, starting to feel anxious that everything won't be ready in time. I am just hating being pregnant right now.

Updates: Next appt is the 22nd. Nothing really major happening or to look forward to in the near future.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? lol....what does that word even mean ? I can't relax, I am in too much pain. I still have so much to do before baby gets here, even if I could relax, there wouldn't be time to. We are starting to get really busy at work too, so thats not helping me any.

BrittG13 · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/17! 30 Weeks! OMG!

Symptoms: Growing pains I guess. Fatigue. My arm was sore for days after that tdap shot.

Updates: Took our Infant CPR class on Sunday. Glad I went but I hope I never need to use what I learned there. Next appointment is the 17th.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? My birthday is next week, probably going to get a pedicure with my BFF seeing as how I am now incapable of doing it myself. Baby Showers are coming up which I'm looking forward to, seeing all my friends. And really enjoying absolutely anything last minute/unscheduled as I know spontaneity will be a bit hard to come by once LO is here.

Edit: Because I can't type anything without needing to edit.

carafern · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 29 weeks 11/23

Symptoms: I'm feeling pretty good. I think I have hemis (had them once before) but not terrible yet. Still tired and some heartburn when I eat delicious things like deep dish pizza.

Updates: Had a MW appointment last week and all sounds good with Butternut. I'm measuring almost two weeks ahead, but I know it isn't super precise. We have an US tomorrow, which I am excited about. Its been a while. The MW was like, "why? who ordered that?" me: "…ummm the midwife I saw last month."

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Haha we were going to do a baby moon this weekend but I couldn't justify the expense. LO's arrival is getting real. I'd rather not spend $$ on a weekend trip. So we just relax at home and take our dog to the beach weekly.

jmichlik · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: 11/2, 32 weeks and 1 day

Symptoms: Major constipation (nothing is helping me!!), shortness of breath, braxton hicks, fatigue, constantly hot everywhere I go, on a positive note still lots of baby movement!

Updates: Next ultrasound is in 2 days, otherwise last doctor's appointment went fine and was told that little one has turned and her butt is often pushing against my stomach

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive? Trying to go out to eat as much as possible, not the most exciting thing in the world I guess but DH and I love going to interesting restaurants and I know that's going to be tough when baby shows up

rahkitt · September 2014

EDD/Weeks: Nov 3/32 weeks

Symptoms: Sleeping badly, have to get up to go to the bathroom every hour, emptying my bladder takes some effort and I have to hold TP to myself as I stand up so I don't drip. I had the same problem last time, and was fine after my baby was born, so I'm not worried, just annoyed.

Updates: Had a midwife appointment today and got my tetanus/pertussis shot. Hoping for no more pokes this pregnancy, I hate needles. Measuring right on track. I had lost a pound since my last appointment, but as I had been to the State Fair the day before my last appointment, I'm not worried. We've finally firmly settled on a name - George. It was barely on our list, but the other names I liked more and tried to make stick just didn't (I just couldn't get used to calling the baby the other names) and George does, it's an easy choice.

What are you doing to relax/enjoy the last couple months before our LO's arrive?

Nothing special really, I've got two kids already and I'm trying to enjoy the alone time while they're in school. I know that my alone time doesn't truly end until the baby is sitting or crawling and demanding my attention, a newborn won't care what I'm watching on TV or whatever I do while I nurse.
