Re: Monday Ticker Change!
Symptoms: all have been here for awhile, BH, leg cramps, exhaustion
Rants/Raves/Stories: nothing pregnancy related. My 2 yr old DD has her first crush. She kept getting her coat on last night asking to "go see Connor" so cute
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow for GBS and first and only internal until baby decided to come
Questions: none

April 1st, afternoon, 6lbs9oz, 19.5 inches!
Symptoms: exhaustion, emotional, swelling, hip and back pain, headaches, floaters, vaginal discharge
Rants/Raves/Stories: We moved over the weekend and it sucks... Everything hurts. I feel like my hips are breaking, but that's probably due to LO shifting down further into my hips. He spent all of last night punching my pelvic region with full force.
Upcoming Appointments: Next appointment is Thursday. I'm pretty sure I'm getting another ultrasound that day to check size and position.
Questions: Someone want to go through the rest of the boxes in my new place and organize?

I'll say April 8th at 9:45 AM at 6 lbs 12 oz and 20 inches long.
Symptoms: Same low back and pelvic pain, but generally still feeling good, knock on wood...
Rants/Raves/Stories: I can't believe my due date is almost a month away -- I feel like I've been pregnant forever but now the pace is starting to pick up! 18 more days of work (but who's counting)!
Upcoming Appointments: Next Weds for the GBS test
Questions: How much newborn clothing and diapers do you really need? At my last U/S (28 weeks, so a while ago), baby was measuring almost 2 weeks ahead, and both my husband and I are tall, so I've been assuming we'll have a big baby. I haven't bought any newborn clothes, just 0-3 months. We were gifted a box and a half of NB diapers so I think I'll be good there?

April 13, 1 pm, 8 lb 7 oz, 20.5 inches
Symptoms: crazy swelling in my feet/lower legs, and hands. Some sciatic pain. Bh. Emotional (I've cried twice today about houses, jeez). Insomnia.
Rants/raves/stories: had to start seeing a new ob because of an insurance issue. I was really unhappy about it, because I love my super laid back, home birth advocating ob... But the new guy is great, too! Great bedside manner, very thorough, and called me an excellent home birth candidate,even though I've had some other health complications during the pregnancy.
Upcoming appointments: 34 weeks
Questions:
GTKY: baby predictions! I'm going to go with May 2nd, somewhere in the AM hours, and 9 pounds.
Keep in mind that tall doesn't always equal heavy, too. Newborn diapers will be nice if your kiddo comes out long and skinny, even if newborn clothes are too short.
Symptoms: hip pain, dry skin, sluggishness, pelvic pressure, acid reflux (yuck!)
Rants/Raves/Stories: I gained two pounds in the last two weeks. This is a rave because my weight didn't budge for the last month and I was worried that I wasn't gaining enough for LO. Doctor told me not to be preoccupied with this because baby has been gaining weight according to the previous ultrasound. Phew!
Taking it easy has been taking a toll on my muscle tone. I'm looking forward to the end of modified bedrest.
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday
Questions: none
GTKY: Baby predictions
April 13th, late morning, 7 lbs 4oz, 19.7 inches (anything after 37 weeks suits me fine)
Symptoms: pelvic pain, inner thigh cramps, tired but having late night bursts of nesting energy, peeing all the time
Rants/Raves/Stories: I can't believe we are getting so close! DD2 is measuring big (like DD1, who arrived 3 weeks early). I am kind of hoping for a repeat, because if DD2 arrives at 40 weeks they are predicting she will be 9+ pounds (according to ultrasound predictions she is already 6 pounds 4 ounces).
Upcoming Appointments: I am considering camping out at my OB's office since I have weekly ultrasounds, NSTs and OB appointments! My next appointment (I had an ultrasound today) is Thursday for my OB appointment and NST.
Questions: None right now:)

March 29th, 10:50 am, 8 pounds, 20.5 inches
Symptoms: I've gotten off pretty easy with back pain but I'm getting it now plus hip and leg pain and heartburn.
Rants/Raves/Stories: pretty quiet week, I'm sure I would have had a huge rant, my in laws were suppose to visit this weekend but a last minute freak snow storm changed their plans.
Upcoming Appointments: Thursday bpp and ob hopefully finding out when they plan on inducing me. My prenatal specialist thinks it should be week 37-38, ob thinks it should be 39. Attending Dr. gets the final say.
Questions: is anyone else being induced or STM, we're you induced before your due date?
GTKY: up until recently I would have said April 7th 8lbs 2 oz 21inches long, born in the late evening but now that I will be induced I'm going to guess Mar 27th 7 lbs 10oz 19 inches long, and still born in the evening.
