Monday Randoms

I didn't see anyone start this yet so I thought I would.

I have my 36 week appointment today.  Doctor is going to check my cervix.  I know I could be dilated at 3 cm and stay there for a couple of weeks but knowing if I am dilated or not makes me feel like there is progress!  So excited... OR I could not be dilated at all and just feel very disappointed haha.  What is everyone up to today?

Re: Monday Randoms

  • I may or may not make it to my NST today. Currently 0 for 2 for those. Not really concerned or care at this point. Other than that its 7:30am, my living room looks like I live in Jurassic Park and my neighbors moved out meaning the rental company sprayed for roaches and other fun bugs. They are slowly making their way over to us (found one on my coffee mug this morning. So, we shall be spraying the house once again yay!

  • Catching up on things AGAIN. Haha it seems like now a days there is always something to catch up on. Oh wells, that's life! I really just want to relax today...BUT a little catch up won't hurt ;) other then that, not too much going on, husband has been working late and also working on Saturdays to catch up on work since we have been going to the doctors twice a week since 30 weeks. I am currently 36 1/2 weeks :) and I'm getting antsy and nervous to meet our little one! She actually might be coming this week but we won't find out until this Wednesday :) I want her to stay in! But I'm excited! AND I'm over pregnancy haha :P hope everyone is having a wonderful pregnant day!! :D

    Had my 33 week dr appt today, following up a US scan to check on placenta previa. This whole time we've been anticipating a big baby -- my boyfriend is 6'5" and his family have big babies, like 9-10+lb... -- so we were both super surprised when the dr said this baby's measuring 25th % for weight and she guesstimates he'll be a 7lber! Looks like we may have to actually buy some newborn sized clothes, which is messing with my mind after having it drilled in by his family that the baby would be "SOOOO big lol" :P

    Previa is all cleared so i'm game for a VBAC which is a little stressful, the idea of waiting for labour to come naturally is giving me major anxiety. 

    Otherwise i'm just an emotional wreck but that's par for the course, i'm so done being pregnant, so uncomfortable, so feeling not in control of my own body... i'm a big ball of nervous anxiety and wanting to nest like whoa but having no energy to actually do any of it.

  • Have my 37 week appt. today. I only have 2 more weeks until c section. My to do list is complete and I just want my baby boy. Vehicles are getting detailed today and tomorrow and then to install car seats. Really just enjoying these final days with our DS before he is not an only child anymore.
  • I have been up since 6:30 on my day off because I couldn't sleep. I deep cleaned the kitchen, bathroom, living room and organized small knick knack baby items. I have my 37 week appt today with my NST and ultrasound. Installing the car seat base tonight and going to the store to pick up a few more items and will be DONE! Well minus waiting for the crib mattress and pack and play to be delivered but they should be here Wednesday. This whole "nesting" thing is no joke!! Lol

    I spent my weekend with a cold and washing vomit from clothes, walls and carpets at 4am because my 5yo has a stomach bug! I'm super tiered and can't even take a nap because the doctor told us our son has to stay in bed until tomorrow! It's hard to take care of someone sick when you feel like crap too.

    Had a horrible night - my heartburn was so bad, I thought I was gonna throw up.  Instead, I had horrible diarrhea (TMI, I know....I'm sorry) that kept me up.  I was so hot and uncomfortable all night, and my skin is so itchy all the time lately, I want to peel my skin off.  I have already been tested for cholestatis so I know that's not the reason for the itching.  I had to take a Benadryl to help me sleep.  My dr had suggested it for the itchiness, but it doesn't help with that.  So, today, I'm still not feeling so hot and itching like crazy!  Washed the last of the baby clothes and finished packing my hospital bag except for some last minute things that I still need out.  LO's been moving around like crazy this afternoon, so that always makes me happy.  :)  We're gonna go see Jurassic World tonight and I have my 36 wk dr apt tomorrow!

  • So dh and I had sex Saturday night for the first time in a month or so. It was great then yesterday I start feeling crampy and eventually got pretty painful Braxton hicks (like took my breath away bad, but totally sporadic). Today I had off work to get stuff done but I have had cramps all day. So I called my Dr's office they told me to come in. Turns out baby is very low, but cervix is still thick and long. So cramps are either from sex the other night or just baby position. But talk about stressing out I am not ready yet. I still have to finish thank you notes from my shower, finish the nursery, and pack a hospital bag!!
  • My day starts later since hubby is on swing shift, so I haven't been up long today bit already having the urge to deep clean and organize. Sadly my body isn't being agreeable. Such back cramping and pain in my hips and back I don't want to leave bed yet. we have a full house for the next couple months so I'm slowly getting bitchier cause of other people's personal habits (some are pet peeves of mine and make it more difficult at times on me). And I need to figure out what to make for dinner for my mans break at work. Don't have much energy so that will be leftovers or sandwiches haha.

    Hopefully make it to the pool today to release some of the strain on my lower extremities cause that's the one thing that helps!

    Have a great day all!
  • Prenatal massage was this morning. Massage therapist said I'm starting to feel smushy (which she explains is my body's way of relaxing before baby). Now awaiting my name to be called at my 36w appt. Hoping to hear baby girl is at least head down and get my glorious off-work letter.
    Trying to push up my hair braiding appt up because I'm tired of dealing with all my thick hair!
  • 36 week appointment today. Dr said I'm not dilated at all. He said it's starting to look like I might go past 40 weeks!!!! WTH... Isn't it too soon to make that kind of assumption, I mean I still have a few weeks till I'm due.
    Baby is due the 11th- can't induce till July 19th meaning he would most likely be born the 20th (I don't like this cause that would be mine and hubby's 2 yr anniversary, not to mention we would permanently lose our anniversary day to baby's birthday). Dr also said we could induce the night of the 20th and baby would most likely be born the 21st....... Umm, why is he talking like me going past 40 is set in stone & he has made it clear he has to wait till I'm a week past due and doesn't want me to get to 2 weeks overdue.
    Praying my body does what it needs to do to get this baby here on its own- when both baby and I are ready.

    I'm at work. I am SO SICK of working!!! I try very hard to remind myself that some people would love to be working and have benefits etc but good grief, I am just so sick of it today. 

    This is how I felt today. I was supposed to train a new hire, and I cannot describe my relief when she called out with a sick child. Then I promptly felt guilty because I was happy to hear that a child is sick.

  • @MrsJlsbell doc pretty much told me the same today. He said "she's way up there", and "nothing happening. " It was discouraging, but as long as she's healthy... I'd hate to go past my due date. My son came just one day before his, so doc made it seem like that'll be the case again.
  • It has been raining on and off all day, so I have just been chilled... I cooked some yummy dinner for my husband and I . that's pretty much about it... I'm waiting for him to come home from work because I'm so bored! I watch Netflix which makes my days better
  • The texts have started... The "Hey! Any news yet?" "Baby here yet?" "How much longer until she's here?" texts have been rolling in. Lol oh, and I am swollen. It's finally hit me and all over too lol feet, fingers... Yeah, I've blown up over the last week. But other than that, things have been very low key. I have my 37 week appt tomorrow and my first check to see if I've dilated any. So, I'll have more to report tomorrow!!
  • 36 weeks today. The strep B test was weird and gross. 3 weeks left till the C section. I'm done being pregnant. But not sure I'm ready for two kids. I noticed myself waddeling today. I tried not to waddle. But I couldn't.
  • I've caught myself waddling too! I can't help it
  • I caught myself waddling today too for the first time!
  • I've reached the stage of pregnancy where pretty much everywhere I go someone is asking "any day now?" I'm over it, it makes me feel like a whale, when in actuality I'm all baby & only gained 2lbs. I'm so ready to meet our little girl & be able to sleep on my back again.
  • 37 plus weeks an am so ready to have my baby here! I have had a really good pregnancy but in a lot of pain now! Whenever I eat I get a stabbing pain in my stomach like seriously being stabbed. People say eat small meals but I do I made a jelly sandwich an cut the crust off an just ate the crust an it hurt really bad that's all I had eaten so that can't be to much food ! An it's while I'm eating not just after. Advice please
  • I've decided doing the dishes sucks! I have to lean forward to reach the water, which pushes my stomach into the counter, which then hurts like crazy.
    Plus my dad went into the hospital this weekend with a liver infection, so I've been entirely too stressed out since Saturday. I've eaten so much junk today to calm myself down I think I gained 10lbs. Ugh.

  • @corndogrobot why did you have to get the group B strep if you are having a C-section? The only reason I ask is because I was suppose to get mine last week and my dr. said oh never mind since you are having C-section.
  • @nnewman4 same with me. Leaning on anything hurts my bump! And I hope your father is better!! You certainly don't need the added stress!
  • This kid is hanging out REAL LOW today. I could barely lift my legs to get in and out of the shower today...getting dressed was even worse. My poor pelvissss.
  • FINALLY sent out my thank you cards for both baby showers! My hand was cramping yesterday from all that writing... Went at it for 5 hours! Ugh! My feet were so swollen too!

    Went to Ikea and got some storage shelves for the LO's closet. Contemplating on whether or not to convert sliding closet doors to swing-out doors. Of course, had the $1 NF frozen yogurt!

    Car seat and extra base arrived today! About to put the pack n play together. Finished my checklist for hospital bags. Now, just gotta finish a couple of loads of laundry and put together the storage shelves!

    Pretty productive day!

    Oh, and already finished OITNB! Lol!

  • The result of my appointment: cervix is closed :( I at least wanted progress lol oh well. If baby isn't ready than he isn't ready.

    But now I am watching So You Think You Can Dance. Life is good.
  • @babydoll1008 I had my 38 week appointment today and they didn't even check! Maybe next week...
  • I haven't been checked yet to see if I'm dialted at all. It feels like he might be early bit he may also just be enjoying his womb time haha. I'm 37 weeks and 4 days now due July 3rd.

    Little man is hanging out so low I thought a fee times today I was gonna look down and his head would be there :/
  • @corndogrobot why did you have to get the group B strep if you are having a C-section? The only reason I ask is because I was suppose to get mine last week and my dr. said oh never mind since you are having C-section.

    I asked this too! She said just incase my water breaks before the CS. "Just to be safe"
  • As of my appointment last week, 36 weeks, I am dialated to 2 and 70% already. Not surprising since I was the exact same with my first son who delivered at 38 and 5. That being said, my doctor does not seem to think I am going to make it to my scheduled c-section date of June 30th. She is sending me for an ultrasound today for an estimated weight so we know whether I should attempt a vbac if I go early. My first was only 5lbs 6oz and I was unable to deliver vaginally after 30+ hours of labor and 2 of pushing. If baby is measuring the same or bigger we know to just go with the c-section. Im 37 weeks today and have had such intense BH and stabbing pains in my vagina for a week now, I am convinced this baby could come any day. It was never this crazy with my first, I worked until the day before I delivered. There is no way I could still be at work with this one, my last day was June 5. Im excited to see my little boy in there today!
