Re: **~Friday Ticker Change~**
How are you feeling? I am in the last of it..so pretty much physically over it. BUT emotionally I am a lil bit of a wreck..I just want her to come and I am absolutely kind of depressed she hasn't made a dramatic entrance as of yet.
Appointments/Updates? Ummm...I do believe my Mucus plug has made its decent...no bloody show but definitely the discharge to show for it. I had some gushes (sorry TMI) on NYE night and well my dr said its consistency its probably the MP. I have my weekly check up on tuesday of next week.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I HAVE DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE...well not impossible. I actually went and bought the stuff for my padsicles and made them last night...that was tedious and not fun..but I did it.
Rants/Raves: omg...this might end up being a book...so I am just going to keep it to myself...the usual uncomfortable body and pain that is constant. AND lets not forget she is still in there..thats my biggest Rants.
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but have you gone past your due date? If you can't tell from previous posts...I obviously have not gone past my due date..and she is still a cookin'. Early arrival would not be frowned upon by any means. I think my DH is ready for her too so that he can stop hearing me complain! LOL
How are you feeling? Like I'm carrying a watermelon...
Appointments/Updates? Monday. I really hope I end up not needing it.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I received some cute NB clothes since my other daughter was born in June and we don't really have any winter NB stuff. I also bought her her own set of A&A blankets since my daughter is territorial over hers. And a Sophie teether.
Rants/Raves: Rave: I'm almost done!! Rant: I'm still not done...
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date?
How are you feeling? Over being pregnant. I was not like this with the other two. Really achey, lots of braxton hicks every night. Lower back pain, some crampy period contractions.
Appointments/Updates? Last appointment I was GBS positive, just like I was with #2. Declined a check because they make me crabby.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Bought the sit and stand stroller that is compatible with our car seat so I can go for walks with baby and DD2 this spring while DD1 is at school.
Rants/Raves: I am so annoyed that my body seems to be gearing up for labor, but yet it just doesn't seem to want to go there. I am fine with waiting it out if it would quit teasing me, but there have been a few nights I have been awoke from a dead sleep with contractions and then nothing. That and a lot of family members IRL talking about how their baby #3 was so damn early. A few were even due mid-January and had their kids end of December. Obviously not helping.
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date? I sure hope not. But you never know.
BFP #2 7/13/2011 ~ EDD 3/16/2012 ~Aubree Olivia (9lbs 1oz, 21 inches) 3/15/2012 VBAC (39w6d)
BFP #3 5/15/2014 ~ EDD 1/16/2015~Addison Isabelle (9lbs, 0oz, 21 inches) 1/25/2015 2VBAC (41w2d)
BFP #4 7/20/2016 ~ EDD 3/25/2017 ~ Malachi Mathew (10lbs 0oz, 22 inches) 4/4/2017 emergency csection (41w3d)
How are you feeling? I'm almost as far as you can be from the due date and still be a Jan mom. I already over it and the idea of maybe 5 more weeks is really depressing. I've loved being home and getting everything ready for LO and today I have to start back to work. Not looking forward to it.
Appointments/Updates? Last appointment was on the 22rd (34w 3d). Everything looks fine. Because my OB is gone my next appointment isn't until Jan 8th (36w 6d). Then onto weekly appointments.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Sooo much stuff. Got a couple of packages of baby clothes for Christmas. Had my work shower where everyone got LO books so we now have his library started. Bought a bunch of stuff with our gift certificates from family shower including a cute tub. The really cold temps resulted in us breaking down and getting a car seat cover. Also spent time setting up the nursery, it is close. Finally bought stuff for my hospital bag, nursing tanks, comfy nighty, nursing pads/nipple cream etc.
Rants/Raves: Christmas was so nice. Just DH and I relaxing plus it was in the upper 30s/40s so super nice for taking walks. We are now back into the teens and supposed to be single digits next week. And still no snow. I'm already tired of the cold and it hasn't really started!
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date? I really hope not. I was born almost 3 weeks late, my sister was born 2 weeks late and my niece 2 weeks late. So women in my family tend to go late. I'm a FTM so don't know how my uterus feels about it yet. The thing that worries me is that no one in my family has had a baby over 6 lbs even 3 weeks late, and at my 33 week growth scan this LO was already ~5 lbs. Hoping I can go by due date.
How are you feeling? Like crap. DD1 has had a cough-y thing for about 2 weeks now and this morning I thought I felt fine, but by an hour past getting out of bed, I just want to crawl back in. Everything is ache-y and I'm exhausted.
Appointments/Updates? I was 4 cm and 70% effaced on Monday... Still walking around. Next appointment is this coming Monday.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? A mom friend brought a few disposable NB sized diapers by. Which is good since we didn't start CDing until almost a year, so I don't think our All in 2s will fit very well on a NB and I really can't stomach being unable to find NB for cheaper than like $15 a diaper (my AI2s were $8 a diaper)...
Rants/Raves: Rant: I know DH is moving his holiday hours so he can have them off once DD2 gets here, but it's really obnoxious the amount of texts I've gotten from my SiL being all "Oh, you mean your husband's not home today? Mine is." STFU.
Rave: DD1's godmother brought by her Christmas gifts yesterday so DD1 is slightly entertaining herself with new stuff, so hopefully I can rest a little today.
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date? I will not be going past my due date. Between the swelling, bleeding, and dizzy spells I've had and a slight concern this baby might be on the larger side, and the fact that the hospital I'm delivering at is a little over an hour away, if I make it to Friday, Jan 9th (my EDD), they will be inducing me.
-I am currently carrying a pumpkin!
How are you feeling?
-I am so over it. I am nervous because my growth scan is saying the baby is huge. I also haven't been feeling normal the last couple days. I just got used to my third trimester side affects and now they have changed. I am hoping it because my body is prepping for labor!
Appointments/Updates?
I have an appointment in Tuesday I will be 38w 3d. I did end up at L&D last night but was sent home. I feel like I can't figure out what's real labor and what's not. Plus there is th whole is my water broke or is it just extra discharge.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently?
- The baby got a glow worm for Christmas and its nursery all organized. On plus I finished the cute painting for the walls.
Rants/Raves:
Rant- Typical things such as get it out, my body hurts allow he time, can't sleep, and can't poop:/
Raves- we don't have that much longer. 2 weeks is nothing when we look at how far we have came. The babies are going to be here in no time!
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date?
How are you feeling? Okay. A little tired, BH starting up right before bedtime. I feel like I'm getting up more often in the middle of the night to pee; don't know why my body waited so long for that to start happening.
Appointments/Updates? Had appt last Tuesday. I'm GBS neg and at 1.5-2 cm dilated. Next appt is this upcoming Tuesday (the 6th).
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? MIL sent a changing table (yet to be assembled), a boppy pillow, and a changing pad cover. Also going shopping at BRU today for a few more items.
Rants/Raves: Rant - I have no idea when this baby is going to get here. I was born 2.5 weeks late, DH was born almost 2 weeks late, I'm afraid that even though my EDD is one week away, I really have almost 3 weeks of pregnancy left. Not cool.
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date?
How are you feeling? Like crap! I have a bad cold accompanied by a killer sore throat. Headed to Urgent Care today because I woke up with pus pockets in my throat... It's definitely gotten worse. Going on 2 weeks Sunday
Appointments/Updates? Last week I had my prenatal, and she said everything's looking so good we don't have to have an appt this week and right on to next week to begin weekly appts. Had our tour of the birth center last week as well, and I am so excited about this facility. Very mother and baby friendly and they should be able to work with my hypnosis (especially because my doctor is on board and awesome about it!) and birth preferences.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I found a ton of gift cards for JC Penney so I bought a few baby clothes. Also finished painting the dresser! (I have a feeling that's how I over exerted myself and am STILL SICK). I have my second baby shower on Sunday.
Rants/Raves: This illness is driving me nuts! I just want to get better and can't seem to. I really really hope that this is an infection so I can get some meds. I had to cancel babysitting for a friend tomorrow because of this. UGH!!! Same old rave though, I am just so excited I am getting closer to meeting my LO!!!!
QOTW: OKAY, so do we have mommies that they have their LO already? I know this is only our first weekers but are you going to go past your due date? This question doesn't seem applicable to me. Still 3-4 weeks to go!!
How are you feeling? Really good actually. No complaints here!
Appointments/updates : We have our first weekly appointment on Tuesday with one of our midwives. I'm not sure that anything different will happen because they don't commonly do cervical checks unless you ask. I don't think I will until 39 weeks, just out of curiosity. But I will be getting my gbs test. FX that I pass so I won't have to have an iv at the hospital.
Have you bought anything for the baby recently? Yes I have to cut myself off after this order I just made on Amazon. I got some Aden + Anais bamboo swaddles, a jellycat bunny and a blanket with flowers on the trim. All nonessentials :-S which is why I'm done till she arrives and an actual need arises! I might be back to post pics, I never got around to posting nursery ones for @MichaelSC28 because mobile sucks!!
Rants/raves: its flipping january!!! That is all.
And please, let's not be late to the last question.
