  How far along are you? 40 weeks
  

  
  

  How big is baby? Thanksgiving turkey, watermelon... basically huge
  

  
  

  Appointments this week? Ultrasound and biophysical profile this afternoon (to make sure she's still doing okay in there and doesn't need to be induced this week) followed by OB appointment.  Still holding out hope that she will come on her own.
  

  
  

  Symptoms? Oh, I'm just over it at this point. Trying to keep my head up and not get frustrated. The rest of the stuff has already been mentioned.
  

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? My husband found out yesterday that he passed his master's comprehensive exams! One step closer to graduation.   Proud wife over here.
  

  
  

  GTKY: Do you have a favorite Easter candy? I'll stick with Reese's peanut butter eggs, but Cadbury creme eggs ain't too shabby either.

  How far along are you/how old is baby? 3days!!

  
  

  How big is baby? 8lbs 14oz. He gained 2oz before we left the hospital and I'm not sure how because I think he had 50lbs of poop come out the last few days. 

  
  

  Appointments this week? Pediatrician appt on Friday. 

  
  

  Symptoms/how is baby doing? I can't stop peeing myself. This didn't happen after my first delivery so I was a little thrown off by it. My bladder just leaks and sometimes completely empties without my say so. As for Gabriel, I think today is his day for getting the hang of this nursing thing. The first two days he had so much mucus coming up he was struggling with it. 

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? I forgot how sore and painful nipples can be in the beginning when they first latch on. DD seems extremely overwhelmed by everything right now and just keeps saying "I hold you mommy" which is kind of breaking my heart a little.

  
  

  GTKY: Do you have a favorite Easter candy? The big caramel filled Cadbury eggs.

  How far along are you/how old is baby? 39 weeks 

  
  

  How big is baby? A pumpkin 

  
  

  Appointments this week? We just had a normal one this morning. She scheduled an ultrasound for next week which I'm suspicious of. 

  
  

  Symptoms/how is baby doing? I'm super uncomfortable. The baby feels?? really low?? I don't even know what that means. I've been feeling crampy and nauseous every morning, which I guess are good signs??? Clearly I am feeling very uncertain and confused. 

  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? My dog's vertigo decided to make an appearance today. She's such a trooper. I feel bad she's going through this and I really hope it clears up before I go into labor. I would hate for her to be dealing with this at the dog sitters. 

  
  

  GTKY: Do you have a favorite Easter candy Oh man, in college I use to eat bags of those Reese's egg things. I honestly don't trust myself to buy them.

  How far along are you/how old is baby? 

  10 hours old!
  
  

  How big is baby? 

  9lb, 5oz and 22 inches. I apparently only make huge, big headed babies. 
  
  

  Appointments this week? 

  We are probably going to be in the hospital until Friday night, so nothing outside from that. We'll have our first pediatrician visit next Monday. 
  
  

  Symptoms/how is baby doing?

  Great! We had lots of issues with getting her to latch earlier, but she's starting to get the hang of it. Her blood sugar has been on the low side, so we're monitoring that. 
  
  

  Rant/Rave/Questions? 

  Baby girl looks SO MUCH like DS that it's blowing my mind a little bit, haha. 
  
  

  GTKY: Do you have a favorite Easter candy?
  Sweetarts Chicks and Bunnies!!

  How old is baby? Since I am a day late posting, she is one week old!!
  
  How big is baby? Yesterday at her Dr appointment she was 7# 11 oz. Up 2 oz from Monday appointment but still down from birth weight of 8# 1oz. But I am just happy she's gaining well
  
  Appointments this week? She had her first one Monday and was great except for slight jaundice so had to get her levels checked again yesterday. They were going down so next appointment at 2 weeks old (next week)!
  
  Symptoms/How is baby doing? I am with you on the peeing randomly thing @Mcfarkane! What the heck? I never had this issue with DS so it took me by surprise - please tell me it gets better?! It's especially bad if I am close to needing to go and water is running...Ugh!
  Ellery is doing amazing though!!
  
  Rave: So far she has been a way more laid back/easier baby than DS so I am very thankful. It's making adjusting to two Littles much easier.
  
  GTKY: Reese's eggs, Robin eggs and starburst jelly beans! Basically I like candy though
