I got my 38 week check up appointment today ! Excited, I hope my water just break on the hospital bed lol... Anyways, pretty much just a chill day for me ...(unless I go into labor)
The hubs and I are headed for our 38 weeks appointment as well! Excited. The birthing center is 1 hr 45 mins away so DH gets the day off of work. We always eat out at our favorite Mediterranean restaurant. One day closer to seeing my LO!
I also have an appt today. Last one till the c section on Monday. Then I have an NST and growth scan tomorrow. Hope ing for a fourth if July baby. But if not, I can wait till the 6th. So crazy baby is almost here! I am hoping I don't have to wear compression socks in 90° heat much longer. So sexy.
Tired, spent 3 hours last night in l&d triage didn't get out till after 11, feel bad hubby had to be up at 4. We went in because I was having contractions 2-3 minutes apart for over an hour. Unfortunately once we got to the hospital they had started to fizzle out and I just wasn't making progress with the ones I was having. At least I'm to 3cm, 80%, & -2.
Nothing planned today. Have been cramping all night. Olivia has been wiggling along with the discomfort. @babydoll1008, I'm going to try that mentality. I may put the pack and play together out of boredom.
Side note... I am at work half a day until I leave for my appointment, and I went to answer the phone, dropped it then somehow smacked myself in the face with it before getting it to my ear... hopefully this is not a sign of how my day is going to be. :-S
I am excited because I scheduled my c section yesterday. Originally my husband couldn't get the week after my surgery off work, but the second and third week he would be home. He just called to tell me he was able to work it out. So he will be home with me for 3 weeks after the surgery! I'm so happy I won't have to recover alone! He is the best support system I could ask for, and the though of him not being there with me was so scary.
37+4 today. I haven't really been feeling great the last few days, zero energy and feeling like a log. But today I woke up feeling pretty great! And it's absolutly beautiful outside today
Waiting at the doctors for a cervix check...one day away from 39 weeks. I slept from 7-7... Still exhausted...have to go grocery shopping and bday shopping for my stepson... And have to make beef bombs for his bday. Thank god we did his party in the middle of June!
I'm excited to have a four day weekend! Work is just exhausting in this heat, and it takes all of my energy to lace up my boots everyday. We have professional carpet cleaners coming today and a cleaning service coming tomorrow to do a full sterile clean. My husband jokes that they won't have anything to clean since I am such a neat freak, but whatever! Other than that, I plan on relaxing pool side until work again Monday!
BTW... what is up with everyone freaking out about sharks in the water?? That's where they live! Freak out if one rings your bell and tries to eat you... THAT would be news!
I had a dream about breastfeeding being really hard. Great to wake up feeling like I won't be able to feed my baby! I think all my anxiety waiting for this little one to be born is coming out in my dreams. It's been hard enough getting sleep without them! Otherwise I have no plans for today other than a Greys Anatonomy binge on Netflix. And I'm really wanting some chocolate milk.
- 39 weeks today!!! I have been begging LO to come into this world today. - Got our sofa steam cleaned last night, OMG what a difference. It no longer smells like dogs - My friend that was induced yesterday had their baby with no problems, 14 hours of labor though :S - My co-worker that was having contractions went to L/D and was very dehydrated, but the contractions stopped. - We get out of work at noon today and all I keep thinking is.... I can do this for 2 1/2 more hours. - I AM SO BORED
My best friend is in town for the weekend and I'm so excited!! We are going to lay by the pool today and just relax ahhh:) Tomorrow is her bday so we're going to get pedis (cannot wait to get my feet rubbed) and then grab lunch. Hoping having her here keeps me distracted this weekend if baby isn't going to make an appearance.
Woke up in the middle of the night to one huge swollen ring finger.. Tried everything to get my wedding rings off. Got no sleep and Had to have them cut this morning my husband bought the rings from this jeweler and they were so nice about it. I was on the verge of tears the whole time! Ha
My birthday's tomorrow so I'm trying to be excited!
38 weeks today!! I'm more focused on baby than my bday though! Haha
Dropped my car off at the shop to get the blower fixed. Hoping it doesn't cost too much since I'm not working for the summer.
Gave my disability paperwork to my 2 jobs 2 weeks ago and they still haven't gotten it back to me. Well technically one job did send it back, but it was less than half complete so I had to send it back to them asking they complete it again. I don't understand why it's taking them so long to get it done!!
I also must add that I FINALLY got my tax refund! Hallelujah we have been waiting for months and got the happy surprise that it was for more than estimated
My C section was Monday and DS and I are doing well at home. It's been 3 years since my last one and I forgot what a pain in the ass this is. But so worth it.
Just praying for a baby to come today. Last night was rough due to a migraine. Lost my mucus plug and got excited thinking something would happen. Only thing that happened was insomnia. Blah. Lol.
Had a doctors appointment this morning...39 weeks 4 days...crazy! Good news though, 75% effaced and 1 cm dilated (I know it's not much, but it's way better than the nothings I've been getting at every other appointment!) Doctor scraped my membranes so I'm crossing my fingers I'll go into labor in the next few days!! Hope everyone is able to get some rest and relaxation this weekend, happy 4th!
37 weeks 5days had a ultrasound and doctors appointment Monday... im freaking out.. i had an ultrasound because we wanted to check on baby's growth because my first was 10 lb. and i had pph pretty bad And i guess i just make big babies because they told me he is 9lb. Already. so looks like a c-section? ?? Never had any type of surgery...idk what to think!!!
Sorry another post...went to TJ Maxx today because it's right next to my doctor's office and was so excited because they had so many cute summer flats and sandals (I'm done buying clothes maternity or other wise until I have the baby and lose a little bit of the weight)...anyway I tried on like 5 pairs of shoes/sandals and couldn't fit my feet into ANY of them because they are so swollen!! What a disappointment [-(
I just had my 36 week appointment and was told that LO was measuring a little bit small. Doctor thought maybe she was just positioned low, but when she checked, LO was actually really high. US is scheduled for Monday to check her size and to confirm that she is head down (doctor couldn't really tell). I'm not sure what to think since everyone in my family tends to have big babies (I was actually 11 lbs). I've just been so worried about having a giant baby that I never really considered that she could be too small! My doctor also referred me to a dermatologist to have a mole on my belly checked for melanoma. I assumed the mole was growing due to my growing belly, but she is a bit concerned about it.
Had my 36 week appointment today and absolutely nothing. Cervix is "sky high" (Dr's words exactly) and wasnt even able to feel it with 0 dilation. Trying not to feel discouraged but can't seem to help it. There is plenty of time so I'm just going to be happy that my baby boy likes it in there.
Sitting in my car waiting for my husband outside of my doctor's office (I got here early) for my 37 week appointment. Got out of work early today and we are off tomorrow. Just one week left until I'm out of there until September!
Also, I still have 19 days left until her due date, I can't believe how many of us have already given birth and it's only July 2nd! I've gotten so used to the idea of her being a July baby like her daddy, I think I would have been mildly disappointed if she had shown up in June LOL. Now that it's officially July she can come out any time!
I'm nesting nesting nesting!!!!! Cleaning anywhere and everywhere! It's funny how things that seemed cleaned before is not good enough now! I want everything to shine and gleam! I for some reason almost want empty closets too! I even want to rearrange hubby's tools in the garage!!!!! Lol
So happy to read about you ladies and hear your stories. Glad to read you are all doing well. Wishing you speedy, healthy and painless deliveries and healthy babies!!!!
On a side note, my nipples are killing me. Holy breastfeeding!
Had my 37 week appt today. Baby boy is still breech. Ugh! We are scheduling the ECV for either Monday or Wednesday. Happy thoughts for baby to stick his head in my vag would be appreciated.
Anyone else experiencing inner pelvic bones being really sore kinda like you over stretched . Even though I've done nothing for this. Is this a sign of labor or my body getting ready ? Just trying to get my hopes up lol !
@Tiaragentile yes! I have for the last couple days. I'm due the 18th. But at 35 weeks ultrasound they said he was already 7lbs 4oz. He feels so huge now! I can't imagine going to 40 weeks. So I'm hoping this new soreness is an indication that labor isn't far away!
I used my breast pump for the first time a couple days ago to maybe get some things moving along (I'm 39 weeks Tomro) and holy cow, more came out than I anticipated and it got all over me! I didn attach bottles bc I only did like 7 minutes. Lol geez I guess those are working =D>
Re: Thursday Randoms!!,
On another note, I have absolutely nothing planned today.
@babydoll1008, I'm going to try that mentality.
I may put the pack and play together out of boredom.
Sounds like that baby could be here any minute! Hope you get a nap today!
