Week/Fruit: 41/There is no fruit because I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE A DAMN BABY BY NOW!!
How are you feeling? Gigantic, pregnant, tired, over it. I get annoyed SUPER easily...
Appointments/Updates? At my appointment on Tuesday they said he still hasn't dropped and gave me a bunch of things to do to try and help him. None of them seem to be working. I go in on Sunday for an induction if he hasn't decided to come on his own by then.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? I went out shopping with the MIL on Sunday at one of the local kid consignment shops. Just picked up a few cute onesies or sleepers. All the big stuff is pretty much set to go at this point.
Rants/Raves: Umm...I'm still pregnant?I'm glad this little dude is comfortable but I no longer am. I guess he really just wanted to make sure that his daddy would be home to see him come out. Oh, and my SIL and MIL are trying to make me lose my mind. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN HE IS COMING, IF I HAVE NOT CALLED YOU, DO NOT BOTHER ME!!!
QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives? We still need to put the PNP together, but DH will be doing that on Saturday. I just put the swing together last night. Oh, and we have to take down the Christmas decorations - that should happen Saturday as well.
Jan15 December Siggy Challenge: Holiday Fails
TTC Since 4/13 | Me: 28 DH: 29 | DX: PCOS + High T + Arcuate Uterus (11/13)
Best part of your week? Watching her interact with us :x and getting more sleep, she went back to some longer stretches overnight (6-7 hours)
Worst part of your week? She was kinda clingy, she wanted our arms more than her bassinet for naps. So I got some amazing baby snuggles, but it made things hard to get done. I got so behind on everything. My arms just wanted a break sometimes.
Milestones? Just this morning!!! She started batting at and grabbing her toys. She was in her bouncy seat - it has a bar with toys connected to it above her and she's never had interest in them before. Today she started swinging at them! (pic of it below)
QOTW: Aside from doctors appointments, have you made your first outing with LO? Like a trillion! We started going out just a few days after she was released. We were in Walmart after her first weight check to grab a few things. She's already been to the mall 3 times, out to eat twice, to the PO, bank and grocery store at least 6 times.
PIP those kiddos!
Her batting/grabbing toys.

Week/Fruit: 39 weeks/ watermelon How are you feeling? Ready, very ready but super excited. Appointments/Updates? Had an appointment yesterday and got an induction date of 01-15-2015 because she is now measuring almost two weeks ahead. Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? No, no baby shopping this week! = O Rants/Raves: Nothing to rant about atm. And Im excited to have an end date in sight but hope she comes on her own naturally before the induction date! QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives?
I went from being super lazy to crazy, type A personality lady overnight and have her swing, PNP, bouncer, everything ready to go with brand new batteries. I even taped a Hospital Check List on the front door to make sure we dont forget anything on the way out. LOL
Mommies to Be: Week/Fruit: 37 Weeks / Winter Melon
How are you feeling? Fine, but Is it January 29th yet? Do I still have to put on pants every day, because that's a struggle. Nothing is comfy anymore!
Appointments/Updates? My next appointment is tomorrow and I have no signs of labor yet. But baby is positioned low and head-down.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My hubby's brother bought us our video baby monitor for Christmas and we received it yesterday!
Rants/Raves: RAVE - I cashed out nearly all of our credit card points for $500 in Amazon gift cards so we can buy the rest of the baby stuff for free!
QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives? I still need to buy the last few things off our Amazon registry and use the completion discount! I'm also hosting my sister's baby shower on January 17th. Hopefully, it turns out great. My sister is due the first week of March and we're both expecting baby boys!
How are you feeling? Tired. I haven't been sleeping well. But besides that I don't feel too bad.
Appointments/Updates? Had a ultrasound on Tuesday and was supposed to have a version but to our surprise baby moved head down all on it's own! My doctor is worried it might turn again so I have two more ultrasounds before he cancels my c-section on the 26th.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Not since the holidays. But my work is giving me a small shower next week so we'll have some new things next week
Rants/Raves: I just want to sleep more. That would be amazing!!
QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives? I'm washing the clothes at the moment and we are waiting for our rocker to arrive. After that we're good to go
How are you feeling? Still pretty good. Anxious to meet baby though!
Appointments/Updates? Prostin gel was administered this morning. Baby was very active and looked good on the monitor. I was having contractions but not feeling them. Still no progress though. We're home now and will head back to L&D around midnight to be induced.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Nothing this week.
Rants/Raves: I'm going to have a baby tomorrow!!
QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives? There is probably a million things, but I'm done. I at least packed my hospital bag last night.

Week/Fruit: 40 weeks How are you feeling? Ummm happy due date to me...my car broke down today Appointments/Updates? Had to reschedule my 40 week appointment today because of car trouble. Really sucks because I was looking forward to scheduling a just in case induction date so that I would at least have an end in sight. Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? My awesome neighbor is obsessed with stuffed animals and gave me the softest stuffed bunny I have ever felt. I want to cuddle with it! Rants/Raves: Just soooo done with being pregnant. I pretty much cry everyday, my hormones are raging and my kids (I have 3) are all driving me CRAZY. They are having constant meltdowns. Got me thinking I should stay in the hospital as looooong as possible. QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives?
A lot. I'm trying to save some things so that I can keep myself busy until labor happens lol.
Appointments/Updates? My little guy is still breech after the failed version and spinning babies exercises so my OB had me schedule a c-section. 1/19 at 8:00 am. I've mostly come to terms with it...I'm just panicking because I have so much left to do at work before then.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby recently? Closed out our Amazon registry.
Rants/Raves: Rant: My boss keeps adding things to my to do list. I keep telling him no. Rave: I love my coworkers. They've been so supportive and nice throughout my pregnancy. I'm really going to miss the team while I'm gone.
QOTW: What do you have left to do before LO arrives? Finish the nursery, install the car seat, wrap up my work projects.
Best part of your week? My MIL watched Charlotte tonight so DH and I could go out to dinner. They leave to go back home Saturday.
Worst part of your week? Charlotte is having gas issues I think. Feel bad for her :-(
Milestones? Looking forward to seeing what she weighs net Thur. She was only 4lbs 11oz at the last appt. Hoping to get over 5lbs.
QOTW: Aside from doctors appointments, have you made your first outing with LO? We took a stroller walk around the block. Dr. said no enclosed spaces until she is 8 weeks due to her low weight.
