    How far along? 38 weeks

    What size is baby?     A leek? Come on now...

    Upcoming appointments?     Today, weekly checkup. Not expecting much since the last one was 4 days ago...

    Rants/Raves/Questions?     Starting to feel really nervous about taking care of a newborn and toddler at the same time. Someone tell me it's easier than I think?

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?     I'm dead tired and cranky. I feel bad for DH..

    GTKY: Do you have a "favorite" baby item you are looking forward to use?
    Our new RNP!! We didn't have one for DS and one time I borrowed one from a friend - it was amazing. At that time DS had almost outgrown it though, so I didn't see a point in buying one.

    How far along? 36 Weeks

    What size is baby?

    Upcoming appointments?     Tomorrow will do the swab and a quick u/s to see if baby is still breech.

    Rants/Raves/Questions?     I've been ranting everywhere about this, I have PUPPP.  It is terrible and I feel like it is 'stealing' the rest of my pregnancy.  It just keeps getting worse.  I got some meds finally on Sunday and the itch level has gone down a little but they continue to spread and grow.  It looks like some scary contagious run away from me rash, I've caught people staring.  It's not contagious but I get it, I'm not going to go swimming again for this reason and the pool closes in 5 days.  This is mostly vanity but I am going to hate that the first pictures of my son and I will be tainted with this. 

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?     Just throwing myself the biggest pity party every with all the cookies and ice cream. 

    GTKY: Do you have a "favorite" baby item you are looking forward to use?     Not really, well I don't have one yet but I am excited to baby wear.

    @jhems776 I am *so* sorry you're going through PUPPP, the itchy and the rash sound miserable. 

    How far along?     36 weeks. Though I have 3 weeks until my scheduled c/s, so I keep saying 37 weeks. 

    What size is baby?     5lb 12oz last wednesday according to a growth ultrasound

    Upcoming appointments?     weeklies from here on out, Thursday this week

    Rants/Raves/Questions?      I'm going to talk to the doc about getting a flu shot this week. And what the timing is for circumcision -- does that happen day 1? and @Shiva14 I feel you on the nerves of taking care of two kids. DD was a relatively easy baby, fingers crossed that happens again...

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?     I've kept my sweets intake to a moderate amount up until this week, when my husband bought a ton of cookies from the bakery and ritter sports from trader joes. They call to me all day and I'm powerless to resist. 

    GTKY: Do you have a "favorite" baby item you are looking forward to use?     I'm mostly looking forward to being able to let go of all the baby items! I pull them out of storage / get them back from friends, give them the side eye, and estimate how much longer they'll take up the limited space in our little house. I do love my beco gemini and am looking forward to wearing baby again.

    What size is baby?     Winter melon, ukulele, Pomeranian

    Upcoming appointments?     Weekly tomorrow (Weds). Just a quick check, as far as I know!

    Rants/Raves/Questions?     Baby was really lazy during the day yesterday, and I slept funny so I had some bad back pain, too. Together, it made me panicky that something was wrong, but a bath and plenty of ice water to drink put everything right again. Also, I don't want LO to be early (grow, baby, grow!), but for some reason Thursday being the 1st feels "close enough" to the 12th! I think it's just the other babies on the board making me impatient.

    Symptoms/Aversions/Cravings?     Painful kicks and punches to my hips and pelvic nerves, but since LO dropped I can eat a bit more normally without feeling like I'm constantly going to puke from overfilling!

    GTKY: Do you have a "favorite" baby item you are looking forward to use?      I'm with @jhems776 - no baby carrier yet, but I can't wait to have LO snuggled up to me when we go out. Also, all the baby books, although reading to LO will probably not be a day-one activity. :smile:

    @jhems776 I'm so sorry you have PUPP and that it's getting worse! I hope it clears quickly for you once LO is here!

    @abberson @Shiva14  Thank you!  I think today I've finally turned a corner *knocks on wood* as I don't think they have spread or grown in the last day or two.  

    @Jabreen I went to a baby wearing demo and meet up when I was like 20 weeks and they suggested not buying one till after baby to see what you like, but I really want one right now before baby.

    That's good advice!  We've held off buying some of the bigger baby toys, like swings, etc. until we can borrow a friend's and see if LO likes them, so it makes total sense to do the same with a carrier.  I know where the breastfeeding class near me meets, so I'll check to see if they have a baby-wearing group, too!
