Symptoms/ cravings- I now know what lightning crotch is! It's taken 36 weeks, but it's here! I'm wanting avocado a lot but not sure if it's a craving or I just fancy eating it!
Rants - had a chesty cough and sinus pain for over a week. Sleeping so badly and waking DH with coughing fits every night. Went to labour and delivery on Friday for them to check my blood pressure due to insane headaches but all is good on that front. Just wish I could take some medication other than paracetamol! Off to doctors later this morning to get chest checked out for infection.
Raves - countdown to work finishing! Been off sick most of last week so have 1 Monday left after today :-) exciting!
Doctor Appointments- midwife tomorrow for 36 week check
GTKY- What are you doing to stay busy during these last couple weeks before baby is here - we have been dog sitting for MIL since august which has been awesome, will miss the little guy so much! Giving him back on Saturday so will be bleaching the house as he tracks so much mud in after every walk. Gonna get my nesting on and de-hair and de-mud the house properly before baby arrives!
ETA - went to doc and have been signed off work for a week and put on antibiotics. Hopefully will start to get better now!
Symptoms/ cravings- the usual pregnancy symptoms...back ache, cramps, BH, moody, tired, etc. No cravings, just have been super hungry lately.
Rants/ raves- Rave-the weather this week is supposed to be unseasonably warm (would be a great week to bring baby home from the hospital) almost 60 on wednesday! Thats unheard of in February in upstate NY!
Doctor Appointments- Today at 10, NST, ultrasound (we haven't seen baby boy since 20 weeks!), and cervical check. Hoping for some good news!
GTKY- What are you doing to stay busy during these last couple weeks before baby is here (Stolen from Friday ticker change - sorry Friday people!): baby will be here any day now so everyday I just try to keep up the house, sweep, vacuum, mop, laundry etc. And trying to keep my toddler busy or should I say she's trying to keep me busy! With the warmer weather I'd like to walk everyday to help move things along too.
Weeks/ Fruits- 36, honeydew melon (I have a different app that said the size of a cabbage patch doll! Much cuter)
Symptoms/ cravings- Lots of BH yesterday and tons of movement. I think baby's dropped which is causing some fun new symptoms like having to pee all the time. I'm also snoring so loud that my husband moves to the couch almost every night.
Rants/Raves - It's officially February (yay!) I felt like this month would never come. BUT I'm not due until the 24th which still feels forever away. I still have two more weeks of teaching high school and I am SO over it.
Doctor Appointments- doctor appointment tomorrow for my 36 week checkup. Really looking forward to an ultrasound soon.
GTKY- What are you doing to stay busy during these last couple weeks before baby is here - Still working a bit longer (ew). Still have some things that I need to prepare to feel ready for baby's arrival. All of our baby stuff has been put together but crammed into the nursery. I think this weekend it'll feel okay to start moving it to other places around the house and get it settled.
Hurry up February babies! We can't wait to meet you!
Symptoms/ cravings- I am very uncomfortable and I want to eat ALL the time! I mean all of the time!!!!!!
Rants/ raves- my H is still trying to figure out how he will be home for this baby's birth and it's like a broken record I seriously stopped paying attention and told him if he really wants to be here he will figure it out!!!!! Now to top it off it's a snow day and my kids are home all day long!!! Raves: I packed my hospital and I'm feeling very good about my decisions of what I put in it!
Doctor Appointments- today if I can make it. Like I stated its a snow day and I will have to drag my kids with me and drive in snow which I'm not good at. I'm mean we are in AZ for goodness sake we don't get snow very often.
GTKY- I have 10 days before my scheduled csection and I'm going crazy!! I am crafting doing laundry (my way) almost like Rory in Gilmore Girls separating and organizing each like then washing and folding.
symptoms/cravings: BHs, but what's new. Haven't been craving much, except for smoothies. I eat, but nothing ever really sounds that good.
Rants/raves: I'm officially off work!.. Which significantly reduces the rants I was going to give it one more week, but I decided last week to call it quits and go on FMLA.
Appointments: I have chiro appts M, T, W for Webster to try to get this baby to turn. If she doesn't, I'm sceduled for an external version (manually turn her in the hospital) on Thursday. Please baby girl, turn on your own!
GTKY: now that I'm off, I have a LONG to-do list.. Mostly organizing closets and that kind of thing. Also trying to spend a lot of time with DD before baby comes.
Symptoms/ cravings- Lots of movement, frequent need to pee, lack of sleep, and pelvic pain ... Craving Sugary goodness
Rants/ raves- My Dr is out of town for my 38th week- she never said anything during my last appointment - the receptionist told me! Seems like something relevant to disclose to the patient. / I am also from Upstate NY and am looking forward to the Wednesday weather of almost 60!! Feeling like spring
Doctor Appointments- Friday
GTKY- What are you doing to stay busy during these last couple weeks before baby is here: working and cleaning
Symptoms- aching back, onset of carpal tunnel in left arm, but I slept great last night (1st time in months)
Rants- I teach behaviorally and emotionally challenged middle schoolers. The homebound instructor is trying to force a new kid into my class for half days. I've had him 3 days and he has been hell on wheels all 3 days. There is a right way to make these transitions happen; the homebound instructor is just trying to pawn him off on me. I am not in the mental or physical state to deal with this crap right now! Maternity leave now please!
Dr. Appt- had 1 today- only 1/2 cm dilated. Baby girl measuring app. 8 lbs already. I am 4ft. 11in. tall. I am terrified of delivering a big baby!
To Stay Busy- lesson planning so I will actually have a relaxing maternity leave & cleaning out the basement. I have done all organizing and everything else I can think of. Time for this stubborn baby girl to arrive!
