  I am 32 wks. Babies have dropped, head down positions which helps me breathe and sleep better. I will be having weekly growth scans from now on. Heartburn is the only symptom that is still awful. I decided i need to rest before delivery so my last day of work is next Fri.

  Me: 32, DH: 34.
  Trying since Jan 2011. Unexplained IF.
  2 IUIs = BFN.
  1 IVF (Dec 2013) = BFN.
  FET, 2 frosties (June 13, 2014)
  
  14dp5dt-June 27 -BFP, beta 2061. 2nd beta >5000, 3rd beta >5000, 2 sacs 06/30.
  Twin Girls - 02/11/15 - at 37 weeks (no NICU, home with me at 3 days).

  Hi - sorry to be late to the check-in.  I am 38+2... so getting close and still won't believe it till we have our LO.  No indication that things are moving along - baby has not dropped yet.  Cervical checks won't happen till week 39 (very sensitive cervix and bled a LOT after group B strep test so since everything is on track they won't do checks until next week - which is fine with me - heavy bleeding after that test freaked me out - esp since it continued for 4 days - if it wasn't for the baby moving I would have lost my mind!)

  
  

  QOTW: What do you think about screen time for kids (meaning the amount of time they spend in front of a screen, whether computer, TV, cellphone, ipad-like device, etc.)?
  

  I am hoping to limit screen time to none in year 1 and then assess after that - maybe cartoon on TV every now and again.  I would like to completely avoid iphone/ipad screens - the only exception if we are on a flight and have a cartoon on there.  This is what I say now... everyone says that things change once you actually have a baby....so we'll see.

  
  

  Hope all of you are having a good start to the New Year.  Sending you positive thoughts that this is the year - and hopefully month for you to move to PAIF!

  @vpine Glad you can breathe and sleep better. How thoughtful of the babies to give you a respite before they arrive :-P

  
  

  @lady2010 The whole idea of pregnancy seems surreal. Regarding screen time, I've often heard (and experienced) that plans are nice but often bear little resemblance to reality. I like your ideas. We'll see if that works ;-)
