    Weeks?  37w

    How are you feeling?  Exhausted and I started feeling a lot more pressure right above my pelvis bone.  DH got worried and made me call the doc because I had an abruption during my last pregnancy and he wanted to make sure this was not the start of another one.

    Raves? Rants? 
    Raves: Our new church that we have been attending for about 4 months or so wants to throw us a shower.  Since baby boy could be here any moment, we decided to do one after he is born some time in September.  It is so nice to have found a church that is so welcoming!
    Rants: I am tired of the 90 degree weather because it makes me want to stay inside all the time!

    I am proud that DH and I celebrated our 5th anniversary yesterday and that our marriage just continues to get stronger!  It's taken work, but we are communicating better than ever.  Also I think we continue to improve our parenting skills as DD gets older and we get more experience.

    Weeks?  39w

    How are you feeling?  I hate how big I am--but I don't really "look" that big because of how she is positioned.  Doctor manhandled me this week and was like "feels around 9 pounds".  Which would be very normal/common in my family.  Maybe she'll be a 7 pounder and I just don't know yet!  

    Raves? Rants? 
    Raves: I've had time to meet a lot of people and wrap up a bunch of things lately.  I'm thankful.  
    Rants: I want to meet baby now? Can I rant about that? Also, I hate my swollen ankles.  

    GTKY: Let's focus on the positive.  What is something outside of your pregnancy that you are proud of?
    I am proud of my ability to really focus on my own happiness without too much care to what others think.  Oddly, since I"ve done that, I've gained MORE friends, and don't worry about being fake anymore.

    Weeks? 39 weeks! Yay!

    How are you feeling? Feeling better than week 37 to 38 but so very ready to be done. Baby has dropped and the pelvic pain is real.

    Raves? Rants? My husband scrubbed the house from top to bottom this week so I could relax. He's my hero.

    Things outside of my pregnancy to be proud of? I passed a state certification exam that I needed for work! Woo!

    Feeling? So done! And sick! Allergies have started early this year making the last days of pregnancy oh so much fun!

    Rants? Raves? Rant - no sign of baby coming anytime soon. I will have cramps and contractions and then they just stop.
    Raves - DH is being awesome with me not wanting to do anything. I suffer from anxiety/depression and usually when I tell him I just want to sit at home and do nothing he knows its mental and forces me to get out and do something. While right now part of it is mental, anxious about all that is to come and the not knowing when, he knows a lot of it is physical and I really can't go out without being in physical pain.

    GTKY? I am proud of the fact that somehow DH and I managed to teach our DS love and compassion for others. I am amazed all the time when I see the kindness he has for others and ask myself how did that happen. And then I remember I had something to do with it! I just pray we can do the same with this LO!

    How are you feeling?
    Hungry and tired and sore

    Raves? Rants?
    Raves- baby girl is finally head down, and my nose is finally clearing up after 3 weeks of pure evil congestion.
    Rants- I haven't done shit all year. It bugs me. Also, swollen feet make it nearly impossible to find shoes that fit.

    I love watching hubby with his four month old nephew, it lets me know what to look forward too.
    Other than that, my minds kind of a blank.

    How are you feeling? Since getting to the last month, I'm finding I am having trouble sleeping, discomfort, more acid reflux, itchy sides of my feet, swelling of hands and feet, and less mobility

    Raves? Rants? I enjoyed the 8 hour compressed child birthing class I had today. After watching birthing videos, asking questions, I feel less nervous about the unknown. My favorite part was the hospital tour. 

    GTKY: Let's focus on the positive.  What is something outside of your pregnancy that you are proud of? In the last month I gave 2 speeches at my local Toastmasters club. I'm working on my goal of public speaking and plan to continue this after baby arrives.

    Weeks? 38wks+2days

    How are you feeling?
    Confused. Though I've had a not so perfect pregnancy (lots of complications starting from week 5), I have 5 days left for my induction. Though I want to meet my little girl soooo much, I'm going to miss this. All of it. And I'm also scared shitless about labor delivery and everything that happens in between and after. ..

    Raves? Rants?
    French fries with bbq sauce! !! Mmmmmm
    Rant- hubby wouldn't go get me a iced coffee =*(

    38 weeks, I'm feeling pretty good but definitely exhausted due to insomnia. No real rants or raves. I'm proud that I learned how to make gluten free chocolate cake from scratch :)

    Weeks? 37 and 5 days

    How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part. Usual belly discomfort and acid reflux. Also, can feel my pelvis grinding and clicking every time I'm laying down and switch sides which sucks!

    Raves - baby is here soon! I'm not even nervous anymore I just feel ready and impatient!
    Rants - same as @pabeybaby , I feel like I haven't accomplished enough since becoming pregnant! Other than developing a human lol

    GTKY - DH and I spent entirely too much at home depo today, but excited to get out master bedroom and babies room finally painted and decorated! :)

    How are you feeling? Had a false alarm on thur night. Contractions came to a halt and left the hospital at 3cm dilated. I'm feeling anxious but I try to calm down. Baby will come when ready or will wait till Aug 10 induction date.

    Raves? Rants? I walked my way around the zoo. Haven't been able to do that in a long time.

    GTKY: Let's focus on the positive. What is something outside of your pregnancy that you are proud of? My husband. He's been amazing in every aspect.

    Raves? Rants? Heartburn, i'm so ready for it to leave and never ever come back! i only ever deal with heartburn when pregnant, and I'm so glad this is our last rodeo.

    GTKY: I'm about to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend next week, that's pretty cool.
