    Hello All! 

    @ktabs any word about you and your little one? 

    @carrieharry79 Tomorrow is the big day right?? How are you feeling? 

    @Fatpony what is your EDD and what team are you? 

    AFM: 37w5d. I went to my dr this past Thursday. NOTHING IS GOING ON. ugh.... I was having contractions two nights ago and swelled up pretty bad but nothing that was regular enough to call my OB. I go this Thursday for my next appointment. I think we are going to schedule my induction then. Which should be the 21st. I am so ready. 

    QOTW: So far I have a few outfits for our little girl, hats and mittens for her. I have her take home outfit that was the one that my grandparents brought my mom home in when they adopted her and she brought me home in it also. So just continuing the tradition. A couple pairs of comfy clothes and nursing bras for myself.

  • Questions:
    1) How far along? 29 weeks 3 days - I have a c-section date of 10/16 so unless i deliver natuarally before then 10/16 it is!
    2) Any appointments this week? Seeing the peri on Thursday since I was diagnosed with GD - not completely unexpected since I had it with my first.
    3) How are you feeling?  Good just tired. 

    QOTW: What are you packing in your hospital bag?
    Comfy clothes/pjs, phone charger, toiletries etc...  my mom will get the baby a coming home outfit once he/she arrives.  The baby will also wear the same sweater home from the hospital that I did.  It was made by my grandmother.

    1) 32w4d. Due Oct 1, Team Red 2) Had one today. Gained 20 lbs so far in the pregnancy. 3) So hot. So fat. BACK PAIN! QOTW: I haven't even begun to think about it. Today I bought an adorable toque and mittens, so probably those.
  • 37 weeks and 5 days today. I had an appointment yesterday. I was 2.5 centimeters dilated 80% effaced. Everything is right on track. I feel ok. I definitely feel uncomfortable and I have a pinched nerve in my groin area that hurts when I walk a lot. My back/hips are also sore by the end of the day.
    QOTW: I have a coming home dress/bonnet and blanket for baby. I also have a monogrammed gown for her to wear at the hospital. I packed a few hats and comfy outfits as well. I also have her baby book, Boppy, camera, video camera and diapers. I packed nursing pjs, bras, a few cosmetics for me. I am also taking some Powerade and granola bars since I am giving birth at a birth center and can eat during labor.
