Re: *~*Thursday Ticker Change*~* 8/4
What size is baby? Butternut squash... but I feel like I have a toddler in there ready to walk out!
Upcoming appointments? I go on Tuesday to start my weekly ultrasounds (thanks to having GD)... Then the next week I'll start having my weekly appointments at 36 weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Everything hurts, I have no patience (especially at work!!), its HOT, and I'm over August already.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Nothing really
GTKY: What's left on your baby to-do list? Has nesting kicked in full force? Even better - has nesting caused you to do (or want to do) anything unnecessary or silly (but in your mind HAS to be done before baby arrives)? Nesting has definitely kicked in but I have nothing to nest with! Lol! My shower is Saturday and I am so ready to get that behind me and start putting everything up and in its place! I want to have everything purchased and packed by August 15th just in case she decides to come early!
What size is baby? I can feel her in my ribs and kicking my pelvic bone at the same time, so she is pretty huge.
Upcoming appointments? Just had one this morning. All went well. She didn't like having the doppler poking her so she kicked back quite a bit. Go back in 2 weeks for my growth scan.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Last night I slept the best I have all week, so I feel pretty good today.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? I am really at the point where I am uncomfortable all day long. Getting away from my desk and moving around helps a lot, but I am so busy with work that it is hard to do. It seems like last time I wasn't this uncomfortable until 37+ weeks.
GTKY: What's left on your baby to-do list? Has nesting kicked in full force? Even better - has nesting caused you to do (or want to do) anything unnecessary or silly (but in your mind HAS to be done before baby arrives)? We are so far behind on the nursery! And I have to finish sorting and washing clothes. So much to do, so little energy. I didn't nest last time and I am not nesting this time.
I feel the same way. I'm 32 weeks and I keep saying I feel like I do usually at 36 weeks. I'm like ok so I'm going into labor any day right? Haha not really!
How far along?
32
Upcoming appointments?
I have one on Monday. Baby was head down last time so that's always good news.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm pretty sure I have a yeast infection or something. I have so much discharge and my bits are so swollen it's ridiculous. And itchy! I guess this should be symptom. both boys are doing some serious teething. Super high maintainence.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?
I guess I'll rant here. My son Sebastian has started referring to himself as Bastian. Melts my heart!

What size is baby? Papaya
Upcoming appointments? Had one this morning and will continue to go weekly until baby arrives!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm feeling a little stabby over this morning's appointment... My OB says I'm not dilated at all and baby is still very, very high. I understand this is not abnormal for 36 weeks - but am frustrated because when I was in L&D three weeks ago with contractions, I was told I was 1cm and given a huge lecture about taking a step back from work, limiting physical activity, etc etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to hear baby is doing well and I'm so, so thrilled to be almost out of the "danger zone" of having a premie. But I'm a little annoyed that I've spent the last few weeks sitting around like a bum, with time draaaaagggggging by for what may have been nothing. I will be the first to say I need to suck it up and move on and just be grateful that baby is ok... I'll get there...but am still feeling crabby about it for the time being. Amplifying my negativity surrounding my appointment is that my OB (new to the practice) might have slipped and revealed baby's gender. She definitely used a gender-specific pronoun. Part of me wanted to ask if that was just a random way of addressing any baby but I was afraid that instead of getting reassurance that was all it was, she would look at me like a deer in headlights and say, "Oh, you didn't know?" which would only confirm what I didn't want to know!
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Feeling pretty average for 36 weeks. Uncomfortable but not unbearable. Sleep is better some nights than others. BH like crazy.
GTKY: What's left on your baby to-do list? Has nesting kicked in full force? Even better - has nesting caused you to do (or want to do) anything unnecessary or silly (but in your mind HAS to be done before baby arrives)? I have very little left to do for baby. Which is great but also makes me feel like time is dragging because I'm so "ready". With DD, I wasn't ready at all which made the end of my pregnancy fly by...looking back, I think that was kind of a blessing in disguise! I'm definitely nesting like a mad woman. Next on the agenda? Steam the master bedroom curtains. Because baby will obviously care whether or not our curtains are wrinkled. But I can't help it! Gotta keep busy!
36 weeks
What size is baby?
big bag of potato chips
Upcoming appointments?
monday for NST BPP and check up
Rants/Raves/Questions?
nothing I can think of today
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?
Aversion to coffee which usually I'm a huge coffee drinker. I'm having BH like crazy also. Last night they were so bad I thought it was the real deal then poof! Gone

nesting has kicked in but I am literally too tired to do anything right now. I made my To Do list before baby arrives and it includes - loads and loads of laundry. Getting a new crib mattress. Setting up my guest room loft which honestly, probably won't even happen. Packing hospital bag. I believe that is all for now but I'm already pretty sleep deprived so I'm most likely missing some stuff

@JennM205 oh my gosh!!! What a frustrating appointment. They don't even put the gender in my notes. I was so relieved to hear that bc I'm so nervous that one of the midwives would slip.
At least you are 36 weeks now! But this is going to be a long month if you go all the way to your due date or over due! Knowing you are dilated early on can really mess with your mind.

@JennM205 girl I'm sorry you have to go through that. I was just told I was 1cm and did a little jig. I know it means nothing but its some sort of progress. If I went back and she said I wasn't dilated I would be bummed, especially if I wasn't doing the things I wanted to do per doctors orders

Glad to hear you got some sleep last night even if it was due to a stolen binkey, haha!
What size is baby? a cabbage patch doll or a chihuahua? Had a growth scan on Tuesday(35w5d) though, and it measured her head at 38wks and torso at 37w5d and 6 1/2lbs. But, I'd guess about the size of the Titanic.
Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday w/ an NST. BPP was today. Starting twice a week appts from here on out.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My BPP results from this week just don't make sense to me. On Monday she scored a 4/8 for no fetal tone/no fetal breaths. Tues was a 6/8 for no fetal breaths. Today 6/8 for no gross body movement. What is she doing in there? It doesn't help that my OB doesn't have any answers either and that I'm a bit of a control freak. Oh and he totally shrugged off the size of her head and body from the growth scan saying that there can be a margin of error with them...uhh yea I get that, but he's not going to be pushing out that massive head
Symptoms/Aversions/Craving
GTKY: What's left on your baby to-do list? Has nesting kicked in full force? Even better - has nesting caused you to do (or want to do) anything unnecessary or silly (but in your mind HAS to be done before baby arrives)? I haven't really had the nesting urge. We have projects around the house we've been working on since spring but most are almost done. Baby's room is almost done, just have to hang a few pictures up and hang up her clothes.
@JennM205 I'm hoping the new OB just uses a pronoun when talking about all babies. The tech today at my BPP kept calling LO a boy even after she asked me whether we knew boy or girl.
ETA-not sure why that emoji inserted itself in my symptoms comment...its trying to do it now in this part too...weird
What size is baby? Butternut Squash
Upcoming appointments? I had one this week and will have another next Wednesday...my appointments got a little of since I was out of town for two weeks.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We had a 3D ultrasound this week. It was so nice to see her, since I haven't had an ultrasound since my anatomy scan at 16 weeks! Baby girl is a chunker! My son was so tiny, so it is weird to think that she's going to be bigger. She already has hair, some major cheeks and a double chin!
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Feeling OK, just the usual stuff...BHs all the time, some are actually painful, heartburn, lightening crotch, etc.
GTKY: What's left on your baby to-do list? Has nesting kicked in full force? Even better - has nesting caused you to do (or want to do) anything unnecessary or silly (but in your mind HAS to be done before baby arrives)?
I am definitely feeling the urge to nest, just lacking the motivation. I have a LOOOOONG list of things I want to get done before she arrives.
At this point, I've pretty much gotten everything we need for the nursery. The room is painted and the crib is put together, but we need to put the dresser together and clear out the clutter leftover from when it was a guest room. I think I'm at the point now where I'm just going to donate all that stuff and move on!
I also need to do some organizing in DS's room...packing up clothes that don't fit, organizing toys, and moving the baby stuff over to the nursery. Then there's other random things I'd like to do like organizing the baby cabinet in the kitchen (it's exploding with sippy cups and random stuff), making freezer meals...oh and packing my hospital bag, washing newborn stuff, installing the carseat...geez, I better get busy!

worth it.
What size is baby? Feret
Upcoming appointments? Next Thursday at 34 weeks
Rants/Raves/Questions? My pelvis is so sore all the time.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? You know just all bad food in general and yet I am still surprised with my weight gain at each appointment.
GTKY: What's left on your baby to-do list? Has nesting kicked in full force? Even better - has nesting caused you to do (or want to do) anything unnecessary or silly (but in your mind HAS to be done before baby arrives)? Umm... everything. No nesting yet!
