Re: {{{Thursday Ticker Change}}}
Best part of your week? Zoe hit her birth weight! Pedi said she's doing wonderful. And she gave me a 3 hour stretch of sleep last night which made me feel amazing. We don't have to go back for another week now- no more every 2 day visits for weight checks.
Worst part of your week? Realizing breastfeeding wasn't working for us anymore (after it had been going really well) and the guilt I felt in stopping.
Milestones? Above, she hit her birth weight. She's also been a LOT more alert in the past few days. Not sleeping now immediately after eating, she stays awake and watches the world more.
QOTW: Is there anything you've already realized that you forgot to buy or wish you had gotten done before LO's arrival? Formula? lol.. besides that- more baby wipes. I'm using them for a lot and didn't realize we would go through so many. Besides that, nope.
PIP those kiddos!
How are you feeling? Pretty good, I get normal aches and pains but not too bad this week. Lots of little baby hiccups :-)
Appointments/Updates? I went Tuesday and also go on Friday. It took baby awhile to move during biophysical but thank goodness he/she did. Doctor started to go over actual birth.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I got the Mamaroo when it was on sale and it arrived yesterday. I have lots to set up.
Rants/Raves: I give birth two weeks from today and by this time in the AM in two weeks I will be a mom. Just feels overwhelming and exciting. I still can't believe I am pregnant. Darn infertility just messes with the mind. Rant - My dog passed away two days ago and it has been so hard. My DH had him for 14 years and me 8. I miss him like crazy and the grief is difficult.
QOTW: Are you making freezer meals or stocking up on anything in particular? No, I have family here and hoping they hook me up. I am having a hard time just getting things for the baby set up. :-)
How are you feeling? I notice that I'm grunting more with every move I make. My stomach is starting to feel like it is going to rip open if stretched anymore. Glamorous, I know.
Appointments/Updates? Next appointment is Tuesday
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I have my first shower today (office shower), so I'm sure we'll receive a bunch of really great things today.
Rants/Raves: I'm currently in a great mood, so no rants at the moment. :-)
QOTW: Are you making freezer meals or stocking up on anything in particular? I plan to make a couple freezer meals, but my step-mom is staying with us after the baby is born and has elected her self as maid, chef, nanny, and dog-sitter.

Mommies to Be:
Week/Fruit: 34/butternut squash
How are you feeling? Lower back aches, and feeling more tired by the end of the work day. But still enjoying my pregnancy!
Appointments/Updates? Regular checkup today....hopefully the nurse doesn't give me a hard time for gaining too much weight!
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I don't have it yet, but my cousin is giving me my bassinet when I see him at Christmas (don't ask me why she didn't have it shipped to our house!)
Rants/Raves: my DH is the best! I really wanted some "comfort food" the other night, and after a long day at work, he made me homemade chicken noodle soup & grilled cheese sandwiches....yum!!!!
QOTW: Are you making freezer meals or stocking up on anything in particular? See above
Mommies to Be:
Week/Fruit: 36 Honeydew
How are you feeling? Really tired and ready to stop working full time
Appointments/Updates? 36 week ultrasound today
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? just finishing up little things
Rants/Raves: same as @ladyamanuet - our short term disability says you need to go out for a condition preventing you from doing your job and pregnancy isn't a "condition" that falls under the terms but if I had a complication while pregnant or after birth it would cover me. So frustrating @ladyamanuet how are you addressing it with your doctor?
QOTW: Are you making freezer meals or stocking up on anything in particular? Mom, aunts, MIL and co-workers are doing this for me
Why does everybody have to hate on the HR people? We're not all worthless I promise!
Week/Fruit: 36/Honeydew
How are you feeling? Definitely feeling more tired more often. Getting anxious about when he'll make his appearance...I'm just ready to be done and it seems like time is DRAGGING now...
Appointments/Updates? Had an appointment on Tuesday. Measuring on track, HB good, I have my GBS and my first cervical check next Tuesday. The Midwife says we'll talk more about position at that point too. I did get the go ahead to start drinking the RRL Tea and to start EPO so hopefully that'll get my body all prepped and ready.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Well, I bought the Mamaroo on Monday with the CyberMonday deals. I had a surprise baby shower at work on Tuesday so I got all kinds of goodies there! Lots of clothes, diapers, wipes, and the high chair off the registry!
Rants/Raves: Don't really have a whole lot of either. I feel like I'm just in a holding pattern at this point...waiting is not my strong suit!
QOTW: Are you making freezer meals or stocking up on anything in particular? Food wise - I already have a few freezer meals prepped and in the freezer but those might get eaten before he gets here. One of these weekends I'll probably make a few more. The good news is my SSIL is right next door and my MIL is already bringing me meals weekly and said she would be glad to keep bringing food once G gets here.
Stocking up - I'm trying to make it a point to buy one pack of diapers and wipes every weekend in random sizes. I'm also going to (if I can remember) go onto all the diaper maker websites and request their samples.
@JoaPata - I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. I would be a total wreck right now if that happened to me.
@Babytime1778 - It sounds like you and ladyamanuet are having different issues. Your STD doesn't cover pregnancy at all (which I find kind of odd, although probably not unheard of) and I'm reading it that her's just doesn't pay anything until you've been out of work for 30 days. All plans are written differently and it's really hard to compare two separate plans.
Example: My last company you didn't start receiving STD until the 31st days after the "incident" that put you out of work. My current company you start receiving STD on the 8th day following the "incident".
@musicfanatic - I also agree and hope you don't beat yourself up. You are feeding your beautiful baby and that is all that is important. :-)
Week/Fruit: 32 weeks / Squash
How are you feeling? Full, like all the time. I also want to stop working but I'm sure that I will continue the daily grind up until my due date. I can't believe that I'm 32 weeks already! Yay!
Appointments/Updates? My appointment is next Wednesday. I'm hoping that I've gained weight since I was still negative at my last visit.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My sister bought some baby stuff for me but it's a surprise and I haven't seen it yet.
Rants/Raves: My hubby, DS and I had a blast in Mexico and then came home to cold weather and snow! Not a big deal but it was an adjustment for sure! After seeing everyone's AW nursery pictures, I'm convinced that we need to start working on our baby's room. We've bought the paint color (a soft gray) but that's it. I'm 95% sure that we've selected our baby's name so that's exciting!
QOTW: Are you making freezer meals or stocking up on anything in particular? I'm stocking up on diapers from Amazon in sizes newborn, 1 and 2. Unfortunately, I won't be able to breastfeed, so we buy a container of formula every time that we go to Costco. No freezer meals for us...our freezer is full and hubby doesn't like them very much. Oh well.
