Re: 3rd Trimester Check-In Week Of 11/28
QotW: I definitely want to keep in touch on TB! You ladies have been amazingly supportive and we are such a community. In fact, if anyone wants to be FB friends, send me a PM.
Today we have our hospital tour and birth plan meeting. I can't wait! I'm just getting so excited and feeling so good about L&D. Thursday I have a standard checkup (no u/s) which will be the first appointment DH is not coming with me. Now that our appointments are more frequent, I don't want him to keep redoing his work schedule to get off early if there isn't a u/s. No sense in him going to work an hour early for a 20 minute how's it going/belly measurement appointment.

@dragonfaerie good call on the early Christmas shopping !! I plan on doing all of my shopping online (mostly Amazon ) since I know I won't be up for leaving the house . I guess today is a good day for that !!
@ultratomato yay for your last week of work !! That's exciting !!!
Currently 41 weeks , 2 days (who is counting .. Lol ) and the hospital just called to schedule my admission for induction on Thursday . It made me want to cry . I really hope I can get this lil guy to come on his own but I'm also trying to make peace with the induction plan . I've tried all the tricks but I am gonna try to be more active today . I'm gonna watch tv while i go up and down the stairs at home . Maybe that'll get him moving lol . Have an NST /sonogram scheduled tomorrow so hopefully that goes well .
And I would love to keep in touch with you all ! On here and or on Facebook . feel free to message me so we can exchange real names , haha

Love the QOTW. As you guys have seen I still stalk a lot
Add me on FB if you want: Tanja van Hedel (there might be Dutch and Norwegian posts, but definitely lots of babyspam!)
I had my cervix checked three times @mskeenan, and they said it would be uncomfortable, but it wasn't.
I find going to the gynaecologist for a pap smear worse.
Now stop being on here, and get that wee boy out of you!
**********************************************************************************************************************************
QOTW: I would love to keep in contact after giving birth. I don't have facebook so I would keep in contact through TB.

32 weeks here and had my monthly u/s today. Everything is looking good, he's right on track with his growth and all, so I'm happy. I am bummed that no one is still offering me a 3D u/s and I totally forgot to ask the tech today if she can just switch it on. Even the pics I got were super blurry and he looks like one big blurry blob lol. Wednesday I go to see my OB so I'll ask about these stress tests because he hasn't mentioned them to me either. But we did schedule a c-section date of Jan 5th so I've got a little over a month to go, eek! I have 3 more days of commuting left and then I'll be working from home until my delivery. This weekend we took advantage of the 20% sale and got a stroller and a car seat
QOTW - I'd like to stay in touch after this as well. I do plan on checking in here from time to time, but I'm sure I'll eventually phase off. I'm not big on many personal FB posts, especially of the baby, but I'd love to stay connected. I can share pictures privately
@ZoeFer I completely missed your birth announcement! Congratulations on your little girl! I hope you're both doing well.
@dragonfaerie I hope your hospital tour goes well. That's when things felt super real for me, especially seeing the delivery rooms, etc. But it's exciting!
@mskeenan your little guy is getting too comfy in there lol. I say walk those stairs and have something spicy for dinner to get him out!
@Griffin5413 your situation reminds me of my friends who were closing on their house the same week as she was due with baby #2. Luckily she went into labor the day after they closed and they somehow moved not long after that without doing any renovations. I'm hoping your little guy stays in until you're all settled in though!
@capps42613 the bug doesn't sound like fun. I'm glad you're feeling better though!
@Drove2u I'm with you on the commuting part. I'm excited to have 3 more days of city commuting left too. Not being on a bus for over an hour sounds exciting right now!

I know I've been a bit quiet on here recently, I just can't believe that I will have a baby next week at the latest!! Time has really been creeping up on me, I have a scheduled C section on 12/8. I've been overall feeling pretty good, just recently having a lot of pressure on my pelvis. My internal exam a few weeks ago really didn't show much progress down there so I don't think I will have an early arrival. So excited that this is my last week of work
QOTW: I would love to still keep in touch after baby. I will probably just be stalking the bump after baby, but please feel free to PM me to keep in touch on Facebook!

And do mention to people when you tell the news that they need to keep it to themselves!
My news got shared on FB and Instagram by my stephmum before I came back from surgery.
Which wasn't the worse as she has only one uncle (and he knew as I had to cancel my lunch date with my aunt) and one cousin (who I thought had common sense)...
Yet she decided to 'ask' in the family watsapp if it was true that my little girl Pia was born, with details that everyone knew that indeed a little girl named Pia was born.
Its heartbreaking when that news get shared by others.
As to still be able to tell some my happy news I posted it way sooner on FB as I wanted and didn't get the chance to tell those one by one or in person as I had hoped for.
Social media does suck as it apperantly doesnt have etiquettes
**********************************************************************************************************************************
I stayed calm until I made it to the OR and shakes started to set it . Luckily I had a wonderful team of nurses and my husband to keep me calm . The c section went well and my boy is beautiful . I couldn't hold him for awhile since he had to be rushed away as he was running a fever . Finally I got to hold him while I was in recovery and he latched on to breast feed almost immediately . It made me want to cry it was so cool .
I'm now in the hospital for the next 3-4 nights to recover . I'm in some pain but I'm on some meds to help with that . While my birth didn't go at all like how I had envisioned I wouldn't have it any other way because now my boy is healthy and with me . What a huge blessing . Makes all the struggle worth it .
