GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
Re: Tuesday Ticker Change
Symptoms: Constipation and lightening crotch when I walk around
Rants/Raves: Rave is that I managed to avoid the stomach plague that infected our house last week. Also tested GBS negative at my last appointment, so no antibiotics this time around. This weekend I also finished up work in the nursery and DH installed the car seat bases.
Rant: work has been absolute torture and I am totally mentally checked out. Hoping that labor will come early so I only have a deal with a few more weeks of this, but doubting it. Zero signs of labor aside from dropping a little bit. My OB only does internal exams 39 weeks on.
Questions: Is anyone completely done with all their baby stuff prior to labor? I feel like I'm close, but I have yet to pack my hospital bag...
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
I have no clue but let's say 4/6 and 7 lbs, 10 ozs
Symptoms: so much swelling! General exhaustion and sudden moodiness, as well.
Rants/Raves: rant - super annoyed with my husband, who couldn't put down his game for 15 minutes during my appointment, which he came to because I was supposed to have a quick u/s to confirm LO is head down. My normal midwife was out, so the one I saw was able to feel that she was head down and guessed her at about 6 lbs. I'm sad I didn't get to see her because I was so excited
Rave - I've got nothing. At least we won't be pregnant much longer!
Questions:
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
I'll guess maybe 7 lb 6 oz born April 21.
@Ellenlbishop I have a few crafty things I'd like to finish but the only thing I actually need to get done is packing my hospital bag, which will probably be a very last-minute ordeal because I need things like my toothbrush daily. I could install the car seat, but honestly I'll probably just take it out of the box and put the hospital bag in it. Husband will have plenty time to install it before we come home.
Symptoms: Heartburn and def a bit more tired. Out of breath... BH contractions if I'm getting to crazy.
Rants/Raves: Baby girl is rough! I swear she's trying to break through. DH is like that's crazy and weird and he's glad he's a boy. Thanks honey.
Questions: Anyone else's toddlers a flat out nightmare on Tuesday mornings? Jeezer man, the drama, the tears, the bitching, get a grip kid!
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size. - LOL I'd love for it to be on 4/5 as DD1 is 5/4! Otherwise idc as long as my kitchen is done! And by done I mean i just need a gd sink!
Symptoms: Tired, BH if I do pretty much anything, on and off pelvic pressure/lightening crotch/back pain
Rants/Raves:
Rave: FMLA, done. Hospital pre registration, done. Nursery, car seat, clothes, hospital bag, bassinet all done. I feel more on top of things than last time. I've also pretty much completely checked out of work, I'm just a body at my desk at this point. No one seems to care so yay for that.
Rant (kind of): I asked my OB about the ridiculous amount of BH I get and he basically said I'm just doing too much so I need to take it easy. DH has taken this to mean I'm not allowed to do anything around the house. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but when he doesn't do things when he says he will I do them because we need things like clean plates and clothes. Yet he'll leave me to take care of DD1 by myself while he messes around with his brewing stuff since he wants to get some beer going for the summer. I'm pretty sure our 21lb toddler crawling all over me and wanting to be held is giving me more contractions than loading the dishwasher
Questions:
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
April 5, 6lbs 15oz
Symptoms: Swelling of the feet and hands, heartburn, sciatica, no sleep, nausea is coming back
Rants/Raves: I start my maternity leave at the end of this week and I'm so excited! I have a huge list of things to get done before LO arrives and can't wait to start checking everything off!
Questions: Is anyone else already thinking about how much they're going to miss their bump?
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
Hoping for 4/7 and given my last u/s she's appears to be a big baby.... I'm guessing 8lb6oz if born early on 4/7
Symptoms: edema - and it's pretty bad but no signs of preeclampsia. Aching everywhere, heartburn like crazy.
Rants/Raves: C section is scheduled for April 5th!
Questions:
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size. Well we are having twins so I've had frequent u/s and they are estimated at 4.9&4.14 already I have one more u/s next week 4/24 so I'm guessing them at 6.6&6.14 if I make it all the way to 38 weeks 4/5
symptoms: major ankle, foot and finger swelling. Pelvic and sciatic pain. Just the usual end of pregnancy stuff.
Rants/Raves: I've got nothing except I'm still in shock that we are so close to having these babies. The fourth pregnancy really flies!
Questions: nada
GTKY: I'm going to say April 12th (my due date), and the baby is going to be 9lbs 8 ounces. #1 was 9 lbs even and I was induced and had her 6 days past my due date. #2 came two days before my due date and was 9.12 and #3 came on her due date, and was 9.10.
Symptoms: Same: burping, heartburn, exhaustion, re-appearance of puppps...
Rants/Raves: I'm so ready to stop working!
Questions: Yes, I will definitely miss my bump!
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
No clue, but I'll guess 28 April and 3.5kg.
Symptoms: Tailbone pain, occasional swelling
Rants/Raves: I feel like everything I have to get done is not going to get done! And DS and I were both sick this past week so there was much sitting around.
Questions: none
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
my son was 9.3, 22.5"...I don't think baby girl will be AS big. I'm gonna guess mid-to-high 8 lbs, and 21" range. I'm due 4/26 and my official prediction is 4/24. I don't think any earlier than 4/20.
Mommy to my sweet boy, JG, born May 15, 2014
Baby #2 due 4/26/16!
Symptoms: Heartburn, and daylight savings time is kicking my ass.
Rants/Raves:
Questions: Yes I will miss my bump. Yes DD was a tantrum this morn... made DH late for work but I was already gone.
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
April 6, and 7 lbs 12 oz. DD was 8 lbs 3 oz, but I have the feeling that this LO will be smaller.
Symptoms: fatigue and this kicks are really starting to hurt!
Rants/Raves: Rave: I had my baby shower this past weekend. It was AWESOME. My mom and a few of my friends through an all-white brunch style shower. We got most of what was on the registry, there are just a few things we need to pick up.
Rant: Seriously if one more person tries to convince me to have an unmedicated birth, I'm going to scream. (Nothing against those who do, this is the decision I think is best for me) I can't for the life of me understand why folks want me to be in pain so badly.
Questions: What's something snarky that I can say back to other folks who try to make me feel bad about wanting an epidural?
GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size. I'm going to predict 4/24 (due 4/26) weighing in at 6 pounds 6 ounces.
Symptoms: Incredible shooting back pain when I walk, swollen ankles and fingers (took off my wedding rings), occasional Braxton Hicks

GTKY: (Stolen from someone's ticker change last week) Predict what day your LO will be born and their size.
