  • How many weeks?
    34
    What size is baby?
    Cantaloupe, basketball hoop, quokka, or a savoy cabbage.
    Upcoming appointments?
    Next week I'll start my weekly appointments.
    Rants/raves/questions?
    Going on our last trip of the pregnancy - to New Orleans on Wednesday for a conference. I'm not nearly as uncomfortable as I anticipated being at this point. So I'm really looking forward to it. We won't have a car there, so I'll be doing a decent amount of walking from our airbnb to the conference. The forced exercise should do me good.
    On a separate note, I'm exhausted from this weekend. DD had a puke-a-thon on Saturday while DH was working. So I spent like 3 hours straight just cleaning puke up. Then yesterday I shampooed all of our carpets. So so tired.
    Symptoms/cravings/aversions?
    Nothing of note really. I've been good.
    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you?
    We FINALLY started on the nursery last week. Part of my shampoo cleaning was of DD's and the baby's room - not that she'll be in there for a good while. DH will be painting letters for her name today to hang later, and we should be getting a gift card for the crib from my dad in the next week or so. So it SHOULD get done before she arrives.

    Nesting for me is apparently scraping together the bare minimum right before the spawn is born...

  • How many weeks?
    37
    What size is baby?
    Half a medium pizza, an 80's brick cell phone, a tackle box, a bunch of swiss chard.
    Upcoming appointments?
    Going on week 3 of the twice per week appointments.  I have a BPP ultrasound on Tuesday and an NST Friday.  The stress of all the doctor appointments is starting to wear on me.
    Rants/raves/questions?
    For the first time I am really starting to be ready to be done.  I am pretty constantly worried that my blood pressure will be too high at appointments and am starting to be more uncomfortable in general.  
    Symptoms/cravings/aversions?
    Symptoms are really not too terrible.  General discomfort.  I think I am starting to have BH contractions.  Some minor swelling in my legs and hands and my hands have started falling asleep easily.
    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you?
    Nope.  I am apparently still in total denial that this baby is coming soon.  And I ended up having 4-5 house guests staying with us for the last week so there is absolutely no order to my house right now!  My bf keeps getting on me to pack my "bug out bag".  I have managed to throw some pjs and a toothbrush in there... but that is all.  I really hope it kicks in soon!
  • How many weeks? 37

    What size is baby? tackle box, skunk

    Upcoming appointments? Wednesday, 2nd cervical check (come on cm's!) 

    Rants/raves/questions? we couldn't be more prepared for this baby so I'm sure he'll take his time.
    Can't complain, no signs of insomnia yet.
    I can do without the "are you sure there's just 1 in there?" jokes.

    Symptoms/cravings/aversions? still bagel & cream cheese, hot chocolate, & ice cream 

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you? 
    I guess you can say that. I have to clean something everyday. Not sure if it's because I have to or so I feel productive while on ML.

    How many weeks? 26 - 4 weeks to go!

    What size is baby? Two plates of biegnets (yum!), ripe papaya, cabbage patch doll, chihuahua, honeydew melon

    Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow afternoon. I'll be getting the GSB done along with cervix check done, and supposedly some blood work (nurse mentioned it last time, but OB did not).

    Rants/raves/questions? Maybe TMI, but whenever I pass gas, it smells SOOOO bad. Is that normal for this time? Also, I am pretty sure my THIGHS have gotten bigger. I could barely get my pants on this morning over them. Other than swelling (symptom below), I actually feel good still. That's the only thing I tell people when they ask how I'm feeling and if I want this baby out of me - just want the swelling to go away.

    Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Some insomnia, but usually is after I get up in the middle of the night and pee. That was this morning - woke up around 3:30 and just couldn't  fall back to sleep. If I had any motivation I would have gotten a quick low impact workout in, but I tried to fall back to sleep. Tried is the key word. Otherwise, still swollen in hands, fingers, feet, ankles, wrist (I used to be able to wrap my fingers around my wrist and touch, nope.).

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you?
    Some. I have washed up all of the clothes baby has gotten, as well as blankets/towels, etc. and put them away. We still have a lot to do in his room, but that is on my list for early next week when I am off from work (vacation!!). I am ordering some wall prints off of a shop from Etsy this week and looking to order a couple more things in hopes of putting some of that stuff up soon. I am not sure what really qualifies as nesting, but what I just said sounds good to me. DH said that until our glider comes in, we can't really organize the room much but I want it somewhat done for newborn pics that will be done in his room after he arrives. Oh, I also have an urge to clean out some beauty products in the bathroom - like get rid of some REALLY old stuff and just downsize that altogether. It's needed. Another thing on my list. Oh, and this weekend... starting to gather things to get my hospital bag ready. I was going to do it this past weekend, but wanted to lay around instead. DH has been on me for that one.

    I feel like I should be doing more as a FTM to prepare for this.

    It's just now really kicking in.... I have an unsettled, slightly anxious feeling. A constant feeling there's something to do but I can't figure out what it is.... and truly it's nothing. Just my body preparing for what's to come

  • How many weeks? 35 weeks!

    What size is baby? Apparently a pineapple

    Upcoming appointments? Not until next week! Then its weekly

    Rants/raves/questions? I am just over being pregnant. I am hoping that between the super full moon tonight and the snow storm we are supposed to have this week It will get things started

    Symptoms/cravings/aversions?

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you? I haven't started yet. My nursery is done but I dont think that is nesting..just forcing myself to work. 
  • How many weeks? 35 Weeks

    What size is baby? A Pineapple

    Upcoming appointments? Regular appointment Friday - my doc is out of town the week of thanksgiving so I am hoping she spends some real time letting me know what the heck is going on in there! Appointments are always so fast and uneventful. 

    Rants/raves/questions? Raving about being stocked with everything baby needs after my showers! Ranting about how stupid every class DH and I have paid for and attended - they have been pretty low quality, and there has been a mother of one of the attendees at every single one we've gone to who apparently thinks we are all there to hear her tell us about her stories and what she did - lady if I wanted to hear about how they did it in the 80's I would ask my own mom - and I don't need to hear about how you kids treated your nipples "like a watering hole." Gross.

    Symptoms/cravings/aversions? Aversions to meat, craving bagels, Greek yogurt, and cereal. 

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you? Oh my goodness extreme nesting! Cleaning and organizing and purging every single room! Putting up small kitchen appliances to make room for baby stuff! DH has surprised me by hiring a house cleaner bi-weekly to take care of the floors and bathrooms and stuff do for me it says been fun to focus on making our home baby ready!
  • How many weeks? 35 weeks!

    What size is baby? Pineapple or honeydew melon

    Upcoming appointments? Ultrasound and NST Wednesday.

    Rants/raves/questions?  Nothing really.  Had my shower this Sunday so now I know for sure what I have left to get.  I'm glad about that.

    Symptoms/cravings/aversions?  Chocolate milk.  Yum.

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you? 
    I guess... I feel the need to get things in order but the furniture is still being painted.  That needs to get done soon so I can put all the clothes and things away.  Can't wait. :)




  • How many weeks?
    35!
    What size is baby?
    A pineapple 
    Upcoming appointments?
    Next week I have my 36 week appt. 
    Rants/raves/questions?
    Rant- I've got a week and a half left in the office, we already have a temp in that I'm spending all my time training- why the heck is my boss still assigning me big complicated projects that will take weeks?!?
    Rave- even though baby is bigger and her kicks are getting more uncomfortable, I still love them. I love the special interaction she and I have all day. 
    Symptoms/cravings/aversions?
    BH are getting more frequent and annoying. I feel like my brain has given up on me- I can't find half the words I want and I keep loosing my train of thought. 

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you?
    Yes! I spent hours washing and folding baby clothes this weekend, so fun. I also started cleaning my house and had to cut myself off. Have to remember to take it easy if I don't want these BH to get worse. 
  • How many weeks? 37...dun.dun.dun...

    What size is baby? Romaine lettuce (lame!) 

    Upcoming appointments? Today. Cervical checks start next week...joy!

    Rants/raves/questions? Just exhausted out of my mind. I'm not sleeping very well with all the aches and pains and I have trouble standing for any length of time due to swelling in my feet - going to the grocery store is hard now. Some asshat took the last seat at a cafe today - smirking as he walked faster in front of me toward it - and then stole my to-go order, saying it was for his girlfriend. Seriously?! They made me another one obviously, but it was a full 30 minutes of 9 mos pregnant waiting for food. 

    Symptoms/cravings/aversions?  My vision is noticeably blurrier these last couple of weeks. I really want chocolate every night and eggs every day. My hands and feet are so puffy and my hands fall asleep at night. 

    Have you started nesting? What does nesting looking like for you?
    I think I've been nesting for months. Nursery is built and organized and almost all clothes are washed except a few new outfits. There's just a few things ideally I want out of the nursery that we haven't done yet, but the world won't end if that doesn't get done beforehand.
