Re: PGAL Check In 9/5
36w1d, babygirl for now
How are you feeling physically/mentally?
Physically pretty awful, I'm done bc the discomfort and pain is looking like it's just getting worse until relief comes via delivery. Mentally incompetent, worrying more about superficial/material stuff and delivery than about the worst-case scenario, bc I have to push that thought away immediately when it comes up.
Upcoming apts/milestones?
Two ultrasounds and a MFM appt this week. GBS test and checking for dilation, ahhhh!

I'm hoping to bring her in this when I go to vote!
How are you feeling physically/mentally? I was really sick last week. I'm just hoping each new thing isn't going to last until I deliver, because that's hopefully quite a few weeks away. I'm already feeling some pelvic pressure and worrying that either it means the baby is coming too soon or that I'll have to deal with it for six weeks!
Upcoming apts/milestones? We have a growth ultrasound on Wednesday (because I have GD) but I am hoping that it gives us some answers on planning the rest of this pregnancy. Also... really hoping to get a look at Jaina's face!

I haven't gotten much because I don't know how big the baby is going to be. Watch me trust the growth ultrasound and then it be completely wrong. But here is our gender reveal again with the superman onesie I got and the dress my mother-in-law picked out.
35 weeks. Baby boy Mollel. Possibly Solomon.
How are you feeling physically/mentally?
I think he's dropped because the pressure when I'm standing has dramatically increased. A few people at work said it looks like the baby has dropped as well so we'll see I guess. Otherwise just tired. Overall quite decent for 35 weeks I think. Mentally I keep having terrible fears of the s* word. Nightmares even. Every time I feel like he's having a quieter day I start panicking. It's awful.
Upcoming apts/milestones?
Apt this coming Thursday with an U/S so hopefully that will give me a better picture of how things go from here

Everything is packed up under my bed but I will come back and edit this with one.
How are you feeling physically/mentally? Physically the discomfort seems to get a little worse each week. Mentally a little shaken after reading one of the birth announcements with a late loss with one of the twins. Just grateful every time I feel him move and get the hiccups (which has become daily)
Upcoming apts/milestones? Have an appt next Tuesday

How are you feeling physically/mentally? Feeling large, sleeping is uncomfortable. Mentally I'm doing well.

36 + 1 - Delilah or Eloise.
How are you feeling physically/mentally?
Every day is just so different. I fluctuate between excitement and terror. We had our first birth class last night and watching real birth videos was such an emotional experience. I hate being emotional in front of people, and I'm not looking forward to being so vulnerable in front of strangers, or even my husband.
Physically, I am getting more uncomfortable every day. I've developed some wicked hip spasms that strike at random when I'm walking. I've also developed carpel tunnel, which has been super fun since I'm a photographer and using my hands for the camera and to edit.
Upcoming apts/milestones?
My twice monthly pre-natal is tomorrow, and on Monday we have a followup US at a big hospital in the Fetal/Maternity Care Ward to check on the growth of the cyst. At our last ultrasound, it was up to 2 cm. It is HUGE in her tiny little body. They seem confident that it's caused by my hormones and will dissolve once she's earth side and not at the mercy of my craziness. Fingers crossed.

Hubs and I are huge nerds. This may be her coming home outfit
Right before my appt today I found out about someone I know having a late term loss...at first I thought I was fine dealing with hearing it but melted down on my way to my appt. Then at the appt my BP was high, which I tried explaining away with having been so upset, but they kept rechecking and no change so they are thinking pre-e due to that along with the foot swelling (and maybe all-over swelling) I thought was just from not enough water, nausea that I attributed to heartburn, etc. My u/s showed the baby is fine but I'm being a biiiiiig baby and this all seems pretty scary to me (+feeling sad/survivor guilt about the news I heard today).
Prayers and positive thoughts for your little one and their pending arrival!
