How big is baby: butternut squash
Upcoming appointments this week: I've been on hospital bed rest since Saturday night when Baby A's water broke! Upcoming appointment would be for my C Section at 10:30 AM CST tomorrow. (Scheduling conflict, they were trying to fit me in today and there was no room.)
Any new symptoms or changes: Well, I had an appointment on Thursday and the Dr said that all indications were that I would go all the way to my scheduled c section at 38 weeks. Unfortunately, she was wrong! Saturday night my water broke when using the bathroom. I was dilated to 1 cm and started having contractions 3-8 min apart. Fortunately, they tapered off after about 8 hrs and I didn't dilate further. Since then I've been hanging out at the hospital. They monitor my babies 3x a day and I've gotten the steroid shots for their lungs and just about every antibiotic ever invented to prevent infection. Today is the milestone: 34 weeks, the time they no longer try to prevent delivery. I'm happy we made it this far
Rants/Raves: shout out to all the hospital bed rest mamas, because this really sucks. I've only been here 4 days, I can't imagine being here for months at a time.
GTKY: my mindset right now is, "It is what it is." My family has been commenting on how calm and relaxed I am... well, what would be the point of me stressing out? If I stress I run the risk of needing an emergency c section, and I don't want that. Honestly, this is like a mini vacation: no cooking, no cleaning, no working, no chores of any kind... I'll literally never get a break like this ever again! I'm trying to get the most of it!
Ill keep y'all posted once they get here tomorrow!
How far along are you: 35 weeks
How big is baby: canary melon, pineapple, mini-lop rabbit, bunch of carrots, BMO (from Adventure Time), carton of eggs
Upcoming appointments this week: Just NST on Friday. Let's keep our FX for low BP!
Any new symptoms or changes: well I have had this terrible cold for the last 5 days, so i can barely tell what's because of that and what's pregnancy related. I feel like there really hasn't been too much change. Baby girl is still head down and low, so she's prepared for her entry.
Rants/Raves: Rant: Man colds. Men should all be quarantined together to see how miserable they are. Rave: Our crib is in!
GTKY: What is your current pregnancy mindset: I'm almost ready for her to be here. I'm not completely miserable yet, but getting to the point of wanting to meet her (mainly so I can go back to eating what I want!)

Me too @mecoats soooo frustrating!
How far along are you: 36 weeks!
How big is baby: cabbage patch doll
Upcoming appointments this week: I had one yesterday - had an u/s from measuring small but she measured just one day behind at 35.5 - lil gal was covering up her face with her arm and hand so couldn't see much of her and the 3D ultrasound was a lost cause...luckily not too much longer til we see her in person! I got my GBS test and also got checked and I am totally closed which was expected.
Any new symptoms or changes: Nothing new - just ready to meet her!
Rants/Raves: One last picture to hang before nursery is ready. My bags are packed!
GTKY: What is your current pregnancy mindset: Anxious about delivery!
How far along are you: 37 weeks
How big is baby: romaine lettuce , i thought we already did lettuce
Upcoming appointments this week: mine are now every week, I had one last Friday and will have my next one this Friday. So last Friday, I was dilated 2 cm, I had been eating the dates for two days at that point, doctor encouraged me to keep eating them. Baby was 6 lbs. Doctor said he believed when it's all done baby will be 7 lbs.
Any new symptoms or changes: Everything seems like such a big chore. Losing my drive to do things, like cooking dinner, writing thank you notes for baby shower, eating dates. I had no problem unloading all the gifts and setting things up.
Rants/Raves: Its a rant and a rave. I had my baby shower this past weekend, I got a lot of good stuff, but also a lot of stuff that I don't need or wasn't on my registry. People ignored some basic essentials. I did one trip to one store yesterday, returning things and buying things I actually need. I got two more stores to do, but unfortunately it still won't be enough to get everything.
GTKY: What is your current pregnancy mindset: I've reached the paranoid part, scary dreams of baby getting hurt and dying, I ran my belly into furniture last night on the way to the bathroom, then flipped out that I hurt the baby and couldn't fall back asleep until I felt him kick. I'm starting to be more okay with a February baby at this point, just not Valentine's Day.
