Re: Wednesday Ticker Change
Symptoms: Crazy achy pelvis, RLP, and a ridiculous amount of BH...
Rants/Raves/Stories: My work baby shower is Friday. It's held in an area where students walk through ALL day. I'm tempted to ask them to do gender neutral decor because while the whole staff knows I'm having a girl, I haven't told my students. They're nosy and I kind of like having it a secret from them. But I feel like the decor may already be purchased...
Upcoming Appointments: 36 weeks on Monday, start of my weekly appts! Will be checking for dilation...
Questions:
GTKY: I say either 4/2 or 4/7 in the early morning like big sis, 8lbs even, 21". DH says 4/5 at 8lbs 2ozs.
Symptoms: Pee all the time, heartburn, fun pelvis pressure, increased discharge, clothes don't fit, baby has officially DROPPED!
Rants/Raves/Stories: My mom is here staying with me (DH works out of town during the week) and we are getting SO MUCH DONE around my house. It's so nice having her here to help.
Upcoming Appointments: Midwife home visit on 3.7, sono & OB appointment on 3.11
Questions:
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!! 3.15 around 2PM, 19 inches, 6 lb 7 ounces OR 4.7 in the middle of the night, 20.5 inches, 8 lb 3 ounces
Symptoms: Reflux all the time, hips screaming at me, and some serious back aches by the end of the day (but I have major scoliosis)
Rants/Raves/Stories: DH is now telling me I won't be going to DDs travel dance competition. Granted it's 4 days before my due date and 1.5 HR from home, 2.25 from my hospital. But he's saying it's not an option at all. Slow your roll there hubby....we have a month before we know what will be going on.
Upcoming Appointments: Quickie check today.
Questions: Flu season, how have any of you moms of more that 2 handled baby being born during flu season and the hospital not allowing siblings to visit. I have a feeling mine will be so hurt, and honestly, the idea of them not coming in to meet the new baby makes me really sad too.
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!! DH keeps saying 10lbs on my due date (shut your face Hubz). I'll go with a week late 5/4 in the afternoon, 8.6#, 19.5"
Symptoms: same: just shortness of breath with stairs, and tiredness. I hit a wall post lunch. Last night I came home early and took a nap from 5-8 pm...
Rants/Raves/Stories: Had my baby shower last weekend and it was lovely. My husband surprised me big time by flying a friend and several family members (from his side of the family here in Canada) as a surprise for me! It was an awesome weekend!
Plus, nursery is done and I think I have everything I need for baby!
Upcoming Appointments: Uktrasound to check growth and hydronephrosis on March 9.
Questions: Nil
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!!
Hmmmm 4/4/16 at 13:00. 18.5 inches, 7 pounds 2 oz. I have no method to my madness, this was a complete guess.
Symptoms: Cramping like a MFer, this didn't happen with DS & I'm not a fan
Rants/Raves/Stories: we are moving over the summer for DH's job and I'm getting super stressed out about having our house ready to go on the market and finding a new place hours away with a newborn and toddler. The area we are moving is significantly more expensive as it is, and I just found out the state we are moving to doesn't cover early intervention services like where we live now, so DS' services will now be a significant unexpected expense. Yikes
Upcoming Appointments: check up tomorrow
Questions:
GTKY: I have no idea! I think it'll probably end up being the RCS on 4/19 at 7:30. I'm guessing it'll be a boy, 8 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches
Symptoms: Lots of contractions if I do anything, pressure, pain, tired, a fierce waddle. And I've officially peed myself -_-
Rants/Raves/Stories: Isn't it crazy that we are to the point when strangers ask how much longer we have (surely I'm not the only one who gets ask there everywhere I go), we can say that the baby will be here next month? Next month! Ah!
Upcoming Appointments: Later today.
Questions:
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!! 4/10, late at night, 6 lbs 13 oz, 19 inches long. I completely guessed all of that. I literally have no intuition about it at all.
Symptoms: random heart burn and sciatic pain
Rants/Raves/Stories: Ugh, come on crib manufacturer get your sh*t together!!! I ordered the crib back in January, 2 pieces came damaged (of course, story of my life), I call the store customer service and they were contacting the vendor to send replacements. 2 weeks later they send us the wrong damn pieces!! I call again and am still waiting for the correct pieces to come. How hard is this?! The girl at buy buy baby read me off all the info sent to them and what she had was correct, so how the hell do you send me the wrong damn pieces, grrrrr
Upcoming Appointments: Next week
Questions:
GTKY: Well if I have to keep the schedule c-section baby will arrive on 4/12, if baby flips and I go natural I'm going to guess 4/15 sometime in the evening between 5-8 pm, 6 lbs 10oz (DH and I were both under 7lbs so I'm guessing baby will be too), 18.5 inches long. I honestly have no clue!
Symptoms: BH, Heartburn late at night if I don't take a Zantac, achy hips/pelvis/tailbone
Rants/Raves/Stories: So yesterday I kept having a pinch on the back of my right leg. I still have no clue what was causing it. BUT I couldn't decide if my legs were swollen because I realize I have no clue what they looked like normally. Same with my feet. They didn't hurt or anything. So I took pictures of them this morning before we left the house so I can compare it tonight. DH just laughed while I was doing it.
Also! My Pawpaw (granddad, if anyone isn't sure what that is lol) keeps telling me LO will be here March 15th. I'm going to need him to stop! That's 2 weeks! I need her to stay in there longer than that, thank you very much!
Upcoming Appointments: Friday for the last rotating visit. Then back to my normal OB! Going to get my pump prescription Friday as well!
Questions:
GTKY: Hmmm...April 1 mid-morning, 6lbs 3oz, 19in
now I am starring this post so I can come look back after our birth announcements to compare
Symptoms: had an episode of low blow pressure during my NST scan Monday. Have felt a little 'off' since then.. Tired and spacey? Also, heartburn for the first time ever.
Rants/Raves/Stories: DH is getting on my last nerve. We have a million things to accomplish, and baby will be here in 35 freaking days!!!
Upcoming Appointments: doctors appointment Friday.
Questions:
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!!
I have no idea! He's measuring large.. So let's go with 4/6, evening, and 9 lbs.
symptoms: heart burn, out of breath easily, peeing a ton
rants/raves: so we are moving across the country a couple of months after lo is born and I have been studying the real estate market there. I've been eyeing this house being built for almost a year and I love it! We finally put in an offer and the builder decided two days before that hey were going to make it their personal home - urrrrr so mad!
upcoming apts: next Wednesday for 36 weeks, then weekly
gtky: I'm going with 4/4, sometime mid day, 7 lb. 10 oz., although I would have no complaints if he came a few days earlier!
Symptoms: Same heart burn, shortness of breath
Rants/Raves/Stories: Demo starts on our bathroom this Saturday and its a complete gut job. I am trying really hard not to stress about this but I was not ready for construction. Fingers crossed all is done before baby arrives. #doubtful.
Upcoming Appointments: Two weeks for my normal 34 week appt
Questions: Nada
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!! I literally have no idea. I feel like I will go full term which means I will have him at 39 weeks. We will more than likely schedule the c section at my next appt or the one following. Maybe he'll decide he wants to com early like his brother did.
Symptoms: Lower back pain, NESTING, heartburn, insomnia.
Rants/Raves/Stories: Nesting is exhausting work!
Upcoming Appointments: Weekly appt. next Tues w/ U/S to monitor brain ventricle.
Questions: None.
GTKY: Baby predictions! Guess the day, time of day, weight and length that LO will arrive!!
I think my LO will make his appearance on 3/23 in the morning, and weighing 8 lbs 2 oz and 20 in long!
Symptoms: heartburn, bum and bladder pressure, mood swings, hunger cravings. Libido very high but can't really do anything about it (lots of sleepgasms though very weird). Insomnia. Sleep happens from 2:30am-8am and then crash 3pm-6pm.
rants n raves: none. ever since moving to mums with hubby our lives are that much easier (until baby arrives!)
upcoming appointments: just had one today next one in 2 weeks!
baby predictions: I feel like I'm about to pop very soon but I really don't know. Wouldn't be surprised if she comes out in March sometime in the next 2 weeks by the amount of pressure I'm feeling downstairs!
