What size is baby?
According to the doctor I saw yesterday, large. He guessed him to be at least 6.5lbs already.
Upcoming appointments?
OBGYN consult Friday regarding my vba2c.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave- my hair has gotten so long and is shiny and nice.
Rant- my back is starting to bug me at night and not allow me to stay in bed more than 7 hours but I'm still so tired after only 7 hours of sleep. (Go ahead and Internet slap me if you've only ever been getting 7 hours)
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
My appetite was ravenous for a few days, but has went back to basically next to nothing and I have not gained any weight in 3 weeks now.
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Saturday)
Since I have 2 other kids I will have to have some help while healing up and even more help if I have a c section again. My husband will take 10 days off work which will work out to be almost 2 weeks and then between my mom and good SIL I think I'll be able to heal up okay and have enough help to recover from my surgery. If I deliver naturally my husband might not take as much time off work if I don't need him.

i totally thought 100% it was Tuesday, I'm officially loosing it!
How many weeks? 37 weeks ... officially near-term/early-term!
What size is baby? Honeydew melon
Upcoming appointments? Weekly appointment this afternoon. I hope it's much less stressful than my awful series of appointments on Friday, ugh. We'll see if my OB has any more info or thoughts on the u/s and monitoring.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just want to be able to keep this baby in a few more weeks and hope he grows like crazy!! And after Friday, I'm so wary of having any more uneccessary interventions.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? After having my NST and extended monitoring, I realized that what I thought was just baby moving is actually BH, so I've been having those! Woke up at 4am with upper back pain and couldn't get back to sleep, ugh.
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Monday) My parents are coming into town around my due date, but fortunately my Aunt will be out of town so they are staying at her house. We appreciate the help, but we like having our home to ourselves. My in-laws will come visit for a few days after baby is born, but will stay in a hotel. Then I think my MIL will come into town and stay longer after DH goes back to work. We're trying to balance knowing that we'll want help with wanting to spend quiet time as our family of three. We're both introverts and get overwhelmed with a lot of people constantly around.
It's a boy!
32!
What size is baby?
Squash but ultrasound told us 4.5 lbs yesterday
Upcoming appointments?
Had an ultrasound yesterday with my MFM Doctor and have an appointment Friday with my OB - just a regular appointment and at some point I have to schedule an MRI
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I am just stuck in the stage of being soooo done with this pregnancy. I love getting the extra ultrasounds bc seeing my babe is the only enjoyable aspect of it. It's just been too stressful. I am so done with the pregnancy, but don't want LO to get here yet cause it's still too early. It's a mixed bag of emotions.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
No real cravings, I've got heartburn, discharge, gas, and I just feel like a whale.
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Monday)
no- my H will hopefully stay home with me for a week. DS will still go to daycare and luckily my daycare can grab him in the morning since I won't be able to drive for 2 weeks. I have a lot of family close by so I am sure they will pop in if we need help.
37 weeks!
What size is baby?
Damn, those things were big...
Upcoming appointments?
Monday at 11:15a.m. if I don't have to go back before then.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant: I just want to feel 'okay' again... Rave: I love my FI, seriously, he's the shit ♡ Question: When? WHEN, JOHNNY?!?
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Symptoms: Stress, all the feels, fevers, fire boobs, lightening crotch, cramping, RLP, lower back pain, NESTING, and the case of the vanishing poop has officially been solved. Cravings: Anything comforting. Aversions: People, places, and things that aren't found within the solitude of my own home.
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Monday)
No way José. It sounds nice in theory, but I don't need anyone else taking up space in my house, and somebody else would probably just be in my way "doing it wrong" anyway, because that's how my brain works PP. I got this.
What size is baby? Bunch of carrots
Upcoming appointments? This Friday.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Does anyone else's belly feel like it's bruised on the inside? Like, maybe from the kicking? I'm a FTM, so I'm not sure if it's normal or not and my apps haven't mentioned anything about it, so I was just wondering.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? I'm fluctuating wildly between diarrhea and constipation, as mentioned above, my belly hurts, and there's tons of pressure on my cervix. So. Much. Pressure.
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? DH is taking a week off, so it'll be just me and him for the first week. Then he'll go back to work and my mom will be with me for the second week. Then she'll go back to work and I'll be on my own... Scary!
@AllyTheKid & @blonde1817 - Congrats on making it to early term!
Ive had that bruising feeling for weeks now on my right side, right below my ribs. That's also where her feet like to rest and move! I think it's pretty normal although it is uncomfortable.
What size is baby? Size of a carton of eggs
Upcoming appointments? Friday and then weekly!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I hit the wall. I'm ready to not be pregnant anymore. I am so tired and uncomfortable and just feel like my temper is so short.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Monday) My best friend is a pediatric resident and got approved for vacation right around the time the baby comes! I'm so excited and so she will probably stay with us for a couple of days but will also be visiting family in the area so she may not stay the entire time. Other than that, my family is all local so they'll be around but no need to stay. My in-laws are supposed to be coming up (they live 8 hours away) but we live in a small condo so they will likely stay with my husband's aunt. The "help" part of all of these visitors (except my BFF) is questionable, so they might start to wear on me and if that happens, I'll be fine with closing our doors.
How many weeks?
36!
What size is baby?
A ripe Papaya
Upcoming appointments?
I had one today at the hospital for a routine check up. They said the baby is 6.1 pounds right now and said that's a good size, especially with GD. So hopefully that's true. Other than that, they said Hazelnut is healthy and chilling and HEAD DOWN! Woo! He or she had been breech for weeks so I'm really glad that there was movement.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm so done with GD and I'm exhausted. All. The. Time.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Nope! Wait...pizza lol
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Monday)
No, my parents live right across the street from us and they help us a lot so we're really lucky.
Not meaning to step on anyone's toes, but it hasn't been posted and I have a few minutes so I thought I would do it!
How many weeks? 36
What size is baby? To be exact, my baby is 4lbs 11ounces.
edit: OHMYGOSH it ate my super long post!
To sum up, baby is very small and I now have many appointments added for every day this week and NSTs, US, steroid shots and hour long drives and I am soo tired and cramping.
And I work nightshift so who knows when I'm actually going to sleep between everything. Ugh.
36 weeks

GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Monday)
We live with my in laws so we will have help, but hoping we don't have to ask for help.
It's a boy!

How many weeks? 37 weeks
What size is baby? Well, I haven't had an ultrasound since 20 weeks, but according to belly measurements, I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead! Aka: Big baby...
Upcoming appointments? Weekly appointment tomorrow
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not sleeping is killing me...I keep messing sh*t up at work because of it. Really, it would be a benefit to them to just put me on maternity leave now!!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Belly button is so sore, along with that bruised feeling @CopperBoom86. Having to pee ALL THE TIME, heartburn, etc.
GTKY: Are you having anyone come stay and help out at home after the baby comes? (Stole from Saturday) My DH is taking 3 weeks off since I'm having a C-section. My in-laws are coming down to "help" with DS, but it's always so much more work for me when they come down. They're older and my FIL can barely get around. So as much as I "appreciate" the gesture, I hope they don't stay too long! And luckily my sister lives close by, so she can help when I need her.
