    I have an appointment at 11 today... I haven't seen the doctor in two weeks I hope I at least made some progress with all these contractions! I also caught my daughters cold which is just AWESOME!

  • I think I might have some nerve damage on my belly. I have a spot that seems to have lost a lot of feeling (like when I scratch my belly). However, it is also the part of my stomach that drives me crazy with itching, because that makes total sense. Not sure if this is a thing or not? I am going to mention it to my OB at my appointment this afternoon. It is just very weird.

  • DS woke up at 6am, but I was able to get him to fall asleep again until I came in to wake him up at 8:45. Muuuuch better.
    LO has been a hiccup monster all morning.
    DH is off on vacation again this week. Debating now between doing nothing today and doing something...such a difficult choice...
  • @ShuShubee‌ I have the itchy burny spot too. Had it a lot for my first pregnancy, never with my second and pretty frequently this time. It feels like an "indian burn" that bullies used to do only in a coaster sized circle at the upper part of my bump. Or maybe what you have is entirely different... lol. I have done many google searches and asked my doctor a long time ago. They basically just said it is a nerve thing. It is way worse when I have been on my feet a lot.
  • Today is gonna be a long day for me. I'm running on way too little sleep and have to go to one doctor for four hours of testing for my brain injury from a car accident this past January and then from there I drive straight to the other side of the county for my 36 week check and gbs test. Fun day... blah.

  • As for me. I am just so tired. 37 weeks on Wednesday and I feel like the first trimester exhaustion. I do not remember this with my first two. Of course sleeping crappy at night is part of it but I can just barely keep my eyes open through mid morning and mid afternoon.
  • I'm so sorry for the loss @9513‌

    @rayna912‌ FX that your husbands interview goes well today!

    @MusicFanatic‌ we went through a bath-hating time as well. It sucked then and seemed like she would never get over it, but it didn't last too long and she loves them now! It's hard to coax her out :)

    BFP #1: 4/2/12 -- DD born 12/15/12. BFP #2: 4/1/14 -- CP. BFP #3: 4/28/14 -- EDD 1/10/15

    Jan 15  NOV siggy challenge: 

  • @MusicFanatic - I'm sorry Zoe is not digging the baths. Hopefully that'll change in a few days/weeks/months. I can only imagine how hard it is to bathe an infant that doesn't want to be there in the first place.

    @Beckydewell - I feel you on the fear of a 42 week baby. I'm a FTM so I know it's more likely that he'll come "late" but my mom never went into labor with me and I was a day shy of 4 weeks late. I'm terrified and I think it may be affecting me negatively too... 

    @rayna912 - That sucks about your hubby's job. I'm glad he has an interview today though! FX that he gets it!

    I supposedly have 3 days left...my stupid ticker is a lying liar. I'm trying to tempt fate by leaving my hospital bag and the diaper bag at home and scheduling interviews way into the future.

    Right now this little one is doing something really weird in my belly and stretching it in a painful way and making me look really pointy/lopsided and making it hard to breathe...time to come out now little buddy!

  • My family has decided to do a secret Santa draw for our gathering on the 7th (not sure if I will be there or not because I'm due the day before) but the odds are I will be so I need to make sure to get the gifts. I have one of my sisters who wants fancy cooking oils which is easy because there is a place in town that sells just that! But now I need to find the ambition to go! I was really hoping DH would be in for breakfast so he could either take DS with him or hang out with him so I didn't need to truck him with me. DS also woke up 2 hours earlier than normal so he will be ready for a nap at 11 instead of 1. I also need to restock my fridge with fruits and veggies and go to the bank, but I have a feeling this LO will be overdue so with my luck this won't be my last time grocery shopping. Or if it is, this LO will wait until we are almost out again so that we have no "easy" snack food in the house.

    My condolences to you and your family @9513‌

    Good luck to all of you having babies in the next day!! I look forward to reading the birth announcements and stories!!
  • I have today off, but tomorrow is my last day of work before maternity leave! Only 4 weeks to go til EDD!!!

  • @9513‌ I'm so sorry for your loss :(

    @soon2bejp‌ I feel you on the bp. I've had a lot more swelling lately and I'm afraid my bp's going to just keep going up.

    @elleswarth‌ Good luck today! I hope they let you stay!

    @rayna912‌ that's really shitty about your husband's job, glad he's got an interview and good luck to him!

    I have a growth ultrasound and then my 36 week appointment isn't until Friday. I'll be nearly 37 weeks but whatever. I tried doing my own fundal height last night but I don't think I did it right. I got 38+. So either my baby's had a big growth spurt, or I'm swollen all over, or I just did it wrong haha.

    My swelling has gotten worse, I hope my bp doesn't decide to go all crazy after it's been so good (and by so good, I mean borderline lol)
  • In normal, true fashion of a pregnant woman less than a week from the EDD, I am tired, cranky, not sleeping well, nauseated, and hurting all over.  No big deal.  We all know, or will know, exactly how that feels.  It has made me comically negative, apparently.  FI and I were watching Property Brothers last night and I guess I was borderline ranting about two of the families we watched on there and he found it hilarious.  In my defense, the one wife wanted to buy this foreclosure house that had MAJOR foundational damage and then got all upset when a major portion of the renovation money was spent on fixing the foundation that was about ready to collapse in!  I don't even know what I said but he started cracking up. 

    In other news, babies!  They're starting to come pretty quick now!  Love all the photos!

  • My OB office has the cheapest TP. I feel like it always leave little bits behind after I wipe. I hate it because I always have to give a urine sample before my exam. I never have this issue anywhere else.

  • I'm just so tired. I feel like I can't get out of bed today, but I have to. I'm getting my hair done this afternoon and I have to pick up some stuff at Lowes and Walmart so I can finish up the baby's room. I am getting excited for my baby shower on Sunday. However I do have a friend from college driving from New York (about a 4 hour drive) and she asked to stay at my house. I said no problem, because I was assuming that she would come the night before and go back home after the shower. She texted me yesterday that she is going to stay Sunday night so she can "stay and play with my new baby stuff". I am very type A and I have to do everything myself, with my husband. I don't want her help. I love her dearly but she is VERY hyper (like she is main lining espresso 24/7) and can be taken in small doses. She is also very opinionated and it is hard to get a word in edge wise. Like I said I love her but I am 36 weeks prego and have limited patience. I also have a bunch of appointments first thing Monday, so maybe she will leave early on Monday. I just don't know...sorry for the lengthy rant
  • @rayna912‌ Best of luck to H today!

    @9513‌ I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

    I'm waiting for my OB to call back, but H and I just ran around the house packing a bag and getting stuff together just in case... I'll update if there is any news. Thanks for the support!
  • I'm in the waiting room for my appt. The GBS test isn't bad, but I hate these test. ... Just because it's kinda embarrassing.
    I hate all the yearly exams too, they just all suck.

  • I am just not feeling up to par this morning. I woke up every two hours last night, my throat hurts, and I no longer want to be the productive little bee I planned on being today. Maybe I'll feel up to shopping for LO later, but as of right now, screw it. 

    @rayna912 FX for your hubby today!

  • Yesterday, I felt achy and cramps all day and today nothing.....gotta love the last few weeks of pregnancy. Also, any time I walk for a long distance (say around the grocery store) it feels like this kid will fall out. Good luck to all of you on your way to babies this week :)

  • @ShuShuBee I had the exact same feeling at the top of my bump right under my sternum! It was all numb but itchy and burning like hell at the same time. NP said it was from baby pressing under my xiphoid process. Has been tons better since she dropped down.

  • Positive thoughts and prayers for baby Ethan!
  • @mowl2014‌ T & P's to your friends and their little man!!
  • @Mrs_Bennett‌ you literally took every word right out of my mouth.

    I'm finding it incredibly hard to be patient right now. Luckily work is providing some distraction from my upcoming due date.

    I just wanna hold my squish!! Cue pouty face.

  • I am home from my last growth scan. The doctor just said everything was perfect! I did see that my baby has a gigantic head though, lol. Like off the charts huge. But baby's measuring about 6lbs 8oz and 60th percentile. It's belly was exactly right on for 36 weeks. He just told me to keep doing what I'm doing, but if I'm honest I've been cheating since Christmas. Too many sweets made me gain about 3lbs! I'll have to go back to my regular diet or I'm afraid the baby won't be able to control his or her sugars. I'm really really hoping for an induction at 39 weeks now (or sooner) with a gigantic head like that!!
  • The insomnia is really getting to me. I'm up half the night and exhausted.

  • I just got back from my appt. I'm not dilated at all, 50% effaced, and baby's chillin' way up at -3 station. I'm not too disappointed because I'm only 37 weeks this week. But I am hoping to go into labor on my own this time. (Induced last time.) Too bad DH takes this as permission for lots of sex in the next few weeks...

    Don't sulk yet!  I've been at 3 cm dilated and 60% effaced for almost a month.  I'm due 1/4 and I have a feeling I'll be pregnant until then.

  • Well my midwife appt didn't go as I suspected it would. Talk of induction came up. She wants to start stripping my membranes at 38 weeks to get things hopefully moving. If I don't have him by 40 weeks I will be induced without a doubt.
    I want to avoid an induction at all cost. I knew it was likely to happen, but she confirmed it today.
    I also wanted no interventions and the fact that she wants to start stripping my membranes was kinda hard to deal with. I'm not ready to have a new born. As much as I'm getting uncomfortable I could be pregnant for another month or two. This is my last pregnancy and it's coming to an end too quickly. I'm gonna miss being pregnant, and feeling my baby move inside. I'm gonna miss my big pregnant belly, and the excitement of having a new born. I'm scared of how much my life is going to change having an 18 month old and a new born to deal with along with my older kids. I feel like I've robbed Owen and all the attention I could have given him, just like I was able to give to his older brothers. He doesn't understand how his life is going to change and that makes me sad.
    Anyway, I had a moment of tears in the office, and on my way home. ... Then again in my bathroom as my H came in to ask me what was wrong. Sigh- i'll be OK. I know I will, and I'm excited to have my baby. ... I'm just not ready, and perhaps I won't ever be ready but he's coming and it may be sooner then I thought which is a little scary for me.

    Anyway, I had a cervix check. Still closed and she thinks he's high up because she couldn't even feel him. That's all totally normal though and I figured that would be the case. She thinks he may have flipped again, so I'll find out on Wednesday at my mfm. If he's flipped again, there are more things to talk about next week.

  • I just peed myself for the first time...was on my way to the bathroom and sneezed....oops!
  • Headed into l&d now to be "evaluated"...
  • Related to my previous comment about cheap TP, I brought wipes to my appointment today so I could properly clean up. That didn't end up being necessary though because they didn't  end up doing a cervix check. I guess they don't start them at 39 weeks.  Oh well. I didn't think I was going to be dilated yet, but won't know the status until next week if I "haven't had the baby by then" eeek! I'm fully expecting to go to at least 40 weeks though.

    We are de-Christmas-ing today and I'm kind of bummed. I love all the Christmas decorations, but I would rather get it all put away now than wait until we have a NB.
