@foxrosy I see spots all the time like twinkles especially if I go from bending over to upright or in the shower and rinsing my hair. I have headaches with like sharp random blurred vision and then the swelling but otherwise I feel okay? With my first I was dizzy CONSTANLTY and my emotions were all over the place. It started so much earlier though.
@PerraSucia that's no fun. I talked with my doctor today about getting these sensations where my heart beats fast and I feel so much pressure in my head like my eyeballs are going to pop out. She speculated as to if my blood pressure was randomly spiking.
@foxrosy oh man weird I don't think I've ever had a eyeball pressure thing. It's more like a stabby pain.
@Xstatic3333 yeah two more weeks unless I have him first. My temp starts Monday so I'm hoping next week will be training people and then just phoning it in and getting my stuff ready for the office to move when I'm gone.
@PerraSucia, okay, hopefully next week goes quickly!
I was picking up something from my husbands aunt today and she asked how close and I realized my estimate is about 3-5 weeks now. . . Oh good God are we not ready! That sounds so much crazier than 4-6 weeks I was saying last week. Might be time for my husband to freaking work on the nursery!

I just realized that next Monday I'm at 36w and at a maximum, I have less than 3 and 1/2 weeks left. I told DH we are cleaning and finishing all the things this weekend and I took Monday off (optional holiday for us) to get everything organized *hypervnetalates into brown bag*

@Gretchypoo I forgot to ask this earlier, but did they mention why to induce? If you don't mind me asking that is. DD is in 80th percentile so I'm curious to see what my OB says next Friday if that changes plans or not. They didn't give me an estimate on how big she is though

I have gestational diabetes and my blood sugars took almost 7 weeks to get under control. so they are worried abt her size and abt the effects of insulin on me and her. and theyre worried that my sugars will go out of control again. She is in 91st percentile now but they aren't forcing a c-section or anything.

Gotcha. Hopefully it all goes well for you! How far along are you?
I know for sure they want to induce me by 39w, but I'm not sure if that's still the case or how that's going to go depending on the ultrasound we did last Monday. It's crazy that we're all getting this close to crunch time

I'm 35 wks now. the earliest they have talked about inducing is 37 wks. But I want to make it until 38 wks (feb 3!)

Things were "real" before, but my mom just asked me when my next prenatal appointment was, and I had to respond "Next Wednesday, the 25th... on my due date." Yikes! >.>

4 crows circled around and landed in a tree above me as I was finishing my walk. I am not superstitious, but it seemed a little too convienently omen-like so I googled the little ryhme... It's 4 crows a boy, ya'll O.O
DH and I both realized last night we've been counting a little too much on still having several weeks left before this little guy arrives.
We had birth class as usual last night, and I just really could not get comfortable. I kept shifting around, just generally not able to hold still. DH even noticed and asked afterwards if I was alright, because I'm not a fidgety person. The baby was kicking and pushing like a storm in there, so I knew he was fine.
I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 contractions last night, because my whole belly was rock hard (not painful, just uncomfortable). Overall, I just felt weird. All night I just felt off and like I could not settle down. I don't know if this is just the final stretch, or what, but last night I think we both realized that one night soon the real contractions will start, and not stop.
Oh God @winchestergirl same here! DH and I keep thinking about it as if I have this extra week being a FTM and because my mom was overdue with me, but I know we need to stop that and just get shit done.

@WinchesterGirl I swear birth class gets all the signs going. I had my class on Saturday. I almost bailed since it was the birth center class and I may well risk out based on tomorrow's US, but it turned out that everyone else there was in the same boat (two small babies, one breach at 35 weeks) and it was still very beneficial so I'm glad I went! We did a "labor rehearsal" where we tried various positions for one minute at a time and even though I don't get contractions much, I totally had a few good BH and was wondering if I was going to go into labor right then and there. It didn't help that the instructor kept looking at me and saying things like, "Wow, he's really down there, huh?" and then singled me out to ask if I'd lost my MP yet when we covered that topic.
@ChaoticWolf We have definitely been anticipating a full due date time frame for delivery. Last night DH says, "Well, they say it could really be any time after 36 weeks, so... you're 36 weeks!" Luckily we spent the weekend finishing off our purchases and getting things sorted. But still. I'm not ready!!
@Xstatic3333 I'm glad it's not just me! It definitely makes you paranoid when everyone points things out. I was described by one of my work friends last week as, "F*ing huge pregnant". Up until last night though, I was fully confident in cooking this kiddo until at least his due week. But the MP question is wayyyy TMI for her to have asked you in front of everyone! I feel like we need t-shirts that say something like, "My vagina is not your business."
DH and I just applied for paternity/maternity leave respectively. Eeek. Then we were talking and he asks what day I'm 37 weeks so I tell him and he says "So we could have this baby before or during the Superbowl!" That really hit home b/c while I personally feel like it's unlikely this baby will come early I had really thought of the Superbowl as being way too early and he's right it's really not...

Had my first "weekly" appointment with midwife. She gave me a packet of info including babies birth certificate/social security paperwork to fill our early if we want to do so.
I had my first prenatal class today. That was kind of a slap to the face with reality(in a good way). We have a really nice nurse teaching the class though, super helpful and knowledgeable. I think I learned more about my womb and vagina in two hours tonight than I have in my whole life LOL.
For some reason, people have been asking me when I'm due. Like last week a teacher at my daughters school (DD had her in kindergarten and if you could be friends with a teacher, I guess we'd be friends) but she asked how long and I said 2 weeks. Then just today the dentists assistant asked me when the baby was coming (husband has had 4 appointments since November, we have seen them a lot) and I said "I'm due next Thursday." HOLY COW!! When I think about it like that, I'm back at OMG!! Next Thursday is soooo close, but realistically I'm on 3 and the others were a few days early. Yikes!!
@Jab3 one of my cousins didnt have a name for her baby until she was like 2 days before the time was up to register her (which is like 6 weeks here) so i wouldnt be too worried about that! Lol I'm sure once the baby is here the perfect name will come to you. We were pretty sure about Cora but disnt confirm until she arrived and seen did it suit her. It was only in the last month or 2 that Cora became a front runner as from we found out we were having a little girl i was dead set on Arya for so long.
@Janefelicity, you know, that makes me feel a hell of a lot better to hear actually! I really like Cora! We've been considering Nora pretty heavily, but not quite sure yet. I like Tessa, but H said nope. I actually really like Arya too, I never heard that one before. Very pretty, I can see why you liked it so much! Well, guess I should have put this in the names thread
