I may die from heartburn on of these evenings, the metal mouth is STILL going strong and my right butt cheek and back of leg are numb but sore which is really weird... hoping my chiro is back in next week for an adjustment!

Upcoming appointments? Midwife on Monday
Rants/Raves/Questions (pregnancy or newborn related)? This past Monday we met with our MFM for what we had hoped would be our discharge appointment. Little Dude had other plans, and is measuring small in his abdomen, which can mean the beginning of IUGR (why DD was born so prematurely). Needless to say I am incredibly disappointed, but the stubborn optimist in me refuses to give up on my dream of an intervention free birth. Take that universe.

Rants/Raves/Questions (pregnancy or newborn related)? Baby has been in position since I was checked week 28, but decided to start practicing for the Olympics yesterday and went transverse and/or breech. Definitely at least transverse, but I really feel like I felt the head last night near my ribs. I am so freaking out about this. I keep talking to baby and telling him/her to move back down. I think he/she is working on it. I feel like an absolute mess these last few weeks.
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Anything sugary! I need to calm down on the sugar.

Rants/Raves/Questions (pregnancy or newborn related)? .I just have that feeling like I have so much to do but then I can't remember what else I do need to do. Pregnancy brain is in full force these days.

GTKY: As a kid, what snack would you find in your lunchbox that'd absolutely make your day? Total toss up between fruit roll ups or blueberry Poptarts. Haven't had either probably in over a decade but now I'm wanting both!!
What size is baby? swiss chard
Upcoming appointments? Monday to recheck fluids and dilation. On Thursday my fluids were 7 and I'm dilated to 2. If by Monday those numbers drop from 7 to 5 or raise from 2 to 4 OB said I will get admitted to L&D! And she is fairly confident one of those 2 things will happen!! Yay baby!!
Rants/Raves/Questions (pregnancy or newborn related)? Slight rave about my mom... b/t her and my dad they are sharing the responsibility of watching LO while we go have the baby. Because Im high risk, I know I will spend 3 nights in the hospital so have asked them to stay at our house to watch LO and the dogs. I had originally tried to schedule my induction on a Fri (so no one would have to miss work) but it looks like baby has other plans and we will get started on Monday night. So when I left the OB to tell my mom the update she said "Oh man! Monday! That's so inconvenient!" Seriously? Most ppl have about 2 mins notice not 5 days notice so can't you just be satisfied with that and happy the baby is healthy and on his way??
Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings? Back to craving breakfast foods again as I near the end. I think it's an extreme comfort food for me not necessarily a craving
GTKY: As a kid, what snack would you find in your lunchbox that'd absolutely make your day? I used to love fruit roll ups! I haven't had one in so long but I did eat some o LOs fruit snacks the other day and they were pretty delish.
