Rants/Raves/Questions? One second I think she's head down and the next I think she isn't. I really wish I could tell!!!
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Nope!
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) probably Happy! I'm a pretty positive person, most of the time.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Ridiculous pelvic pain, insomnia, acid reflux. All the fun stuff.
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) These days, Sleepy for sure.
What size is baby? Pineapple. The Bump app also says that my uterus is about 1000x it's original size.
Upcoming appointments? Growth scan and regular appointment next Thursday. Then weekly after that.
Rants/Raves/Questions? None
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? I've had a great week in terms of symptoms. I've even had moments where I almost forget I'm pregnant.
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) Sleepy. I like my sleep. I fall asleep easily and I am cranky when I don't get my sleep.
What size is baby? Romaine lettuce? Boring... @MrsVoorhees I love your random baby size comparisons...last I remember you were guessing about the size of a full-size RV...or was it a semi truck?Don't leave us hanging - what's next!?
Upcoming appointments? Had one yesterday - no signs baby has any desire to make his/her appearance anytime soon. Next appointment on Wed includes a growth scan (I'm suddenly measuring big). I'm trying not to think about it - the scan has me a little ruffled (hoping to avoid a large baby and for good news regarding baby's positioning, etc) and I'm on the edge of my seat hoping for some progress in terms of dilation or station...but I'm not holding my breath. This baby (unlike DD) seems alllll too happy to camp out in my uterus a while longer!
Rants/Raves/Questions? None
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? BH have actually calmed down these last couple of weeks...kind of backwards but I'm not complaining! I'm finding myself more irritable than I have been but working to keep it at bay so DH and DD don't bear the brunt of it!
GTKY:
(Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you
best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) Today? Sleepy, for sure, haha!! On a regular day (or not pregnant), I'm probably a mix between Doc and Happy.
What size is baby? Tackle box...also on team love @MrsVoorhees's size comparisons!
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow. I'm on a twice/wk schedule after last weeks movement scare.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Had an interview this morning with CO's Parks and Wildlife. I think I nailed it. They even mentioned at the end that they are more concerned with looking for the right person, even if it meant waiting a few months than quickly filling the position. Really, really, really want this job!
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? At my appt on Tuesday my OB said I'm 3cm and 40% effaced. Still lots of BH, back pain and heartburn.
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) Typically a mix of Doc and Happy...add Sleepy to that when pregnant.
@COmama87 Best of luck with the potential job - I'm rooting for you!! Also, 3cm and 40%? Sounds like your little girl will be here before you know it! I'm excited for you and, I'll admit, a teeensy bit jealous, haha. My baby just wants to bake.
What size is baby? Quokka according to Ovia app or a cabbage
Upcoming appointments? Today at 2.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone denying internal exams? I did with my last baby and I think I will with this one too.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Food actually doesn't sound as appetizing as it once did. Prior to about a week ago I was eating ridiculous amounts and now I don't know if maybe I am just to lazy to even eat. Also, I was dealing with crazy constipation and pelvic pain, but the past two days have been much better.
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) I think I am most like Doc.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby has been head down for a few weeks which is super exciting! I really feel like I'm further than 33 weeks. I'm getting really excited to meet this baby and I don't want to be pregnant any more. I want to see him/her!
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Serious sciatic pain. I can't even walk sometimes. Luckily it comes and goes and usually hits worst in the evenings when my husband is home.
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) lately sleepy! But usually happy.

@JasonKristen I'm not denying internal exams although with the way things are going, I almost wish I had gone that route. With DD, I was already 1cm dilated at my very first internal exam (~35 weeks) and she was so, so, so low that my OB barely had to put a finger in to know. This time around, I (foolishly?) expected a similar experience but it has not been the case. 37 weeks and counting with no progression and baby is so high, the checks are intense and painful! Avoiding the pain when it's resulting in no "gain" anyway is something I'd consider if I'd known. Maybe if there's a baby #3...
@JennM205 Thanks! And I'm torn on being excited at the possibility she could be here anytime and hoping to make it to Sept. I'm so ready meet her, but there is still so many unfinished projects around the house DH and I need to complete. She'll come when she wants, so I guess I just have to go with the flow. Hopefully your LO won't make you wait too much and be right on time.
I started to respond this morning, and then my son had an epic poopsplosian that required a bath...Oh, the joys of motherhood!
How far along? 35
What size is baby? Pineapple
Upcoming appointments? Next Tuesday...Had a growth scan and strep test this week. OB thinks she will be small like DS (under 7lbs). She feels HUGE to me, though. I don't know how people carry 10lb babies!
Rants/Raves/Questions? My BP was the highest it's been this week (125/89). OB said she wasn't concerned, but I know as soon as it's over 90 she will be, so I'm preparing myself for it to be an issue next week. This was the week I ended up on bedrest last time. Good news is that I asked her how far past due I would have to be before she would induce, and she said not at all due to my history of high BP. I wanted to kiss her! I am SOOOOO happy to know that I only have 5 weeks left.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Lots of pelvic pressure, lightning crotch, heartburn/reflux, and just generally feeling huge.
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) Probably a mix of Doc and Sneezy!
@JennM205 that is one of the reasons I am declining again. I had only one internal with DD and I was in pain for the entire day. It was not worth it! What is the reasoning for them anyways?
I apologise ladies that I've been away for so long... Really haven't had the energy to keep up with posting but I've been reading everyone's weekly posts and glad to hear that your all doing as well as can be!
How far along? 37 Weeks
What size is baby? TB says Romaine lettuce
Upcoming appointments? Thurs (which is also our 3rd wedding anniversary)
Rants/Raves/Questions? So happy to be at my milestone of 37 weeks but physically ready for baby girl to make an appearance now as this hip and back pain are a problem. Realistically I'm hoping she comes in Sept as the rest of this month is so busy and there's still a few unfinished things I want to get sorted before she comes! RAVE:- DH has really started to pick it up with the help he's given me especially as he knows it's not easy with having his brother stay with us until the end of the year. I can't wait for my mum to be here in a few weeks, having my mum (& another female around) will help me to not concentrate so much on how men make such a mess!
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Just the norm you'd expect with this far along in pregnancy...
GTKY: (Borrowing from Wed) Which of Snow White's seven dwarfs describes you best and why? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey) At the moment I'd say a mixture of sleepy, happy and grumpy. I think I've been quite active throughout this pregnancy but now that I'm getting nearer I sometimes get grumpy when I feel I'm not getting as much support as I think I should at this late stage.
@COmama87 haha right! I will confess another reason I decline is I don't want them all up in my vag every week. No thank you. I don't want to groom weekly! lol
In regards to cervix checks, I will get one this week since I already have to get undressed for my GBS swab. But I will probably turn them done for the next few weeks after because it isn't medically necessary and just isn't worth the hassle for me to take off my pants.
