  • How far along are you? 35 weeks

    How big is baby? Pineapple

    Any appointments this week? None til next week

    Symptoms? The usual- insomnia, soreness, fatigue 

    Cravings? Sushi (I've been having cooked deliciousness!)

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Has your baby's movement slowed down a lot? I know it's getting cramped in there, so I'm thinking it's normal. 

    Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

    GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? We'll do our own little egg hunt at home. Then we are going to my parents'. We'll have a big lunch and Easter egg hunt. It should be a fun day.

    How big is baby? Pineapple

    Any appointments this week? Next one is next week and then starting weekly.

    Symptoms? Leg cramps, sleeping all of the time

    Cravings? orange juice

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Is anyone else getting/or have had a growth scan? My OB mentioned that I will get one at 37 week appointment, but I understand not everyone does this?

    Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

    GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? I imagine we will go over to DH's family dinner, but no set plans. 

    @MollyandD I hope you get some relief soon from the carpel tunnel!

    @roper2617 I'm so scared of becoming a new parent as well! Also, I'm super jealous you and DH get your own Easter egg hunt!
  • How far along are you? 36 weeks  :#

    How big is baby? A papaya! 

    Any appointments this week? I have one on Tuesday! I'm at weekly appointments now.

    Symptoms? Everything hurts and I'm dying. Kidding but I am SUPER hot all.the.time. I also was like this PP with DD. I'm just really dreading it.

    Cravings? Not really! 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nope!

    Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

    GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? My siblings are coming home from college for the weekend. I'm taking DD to an Easter Egg hunt tomorrow. We do a big family meal after church on Sunday and of course Easter baskets for the kids. 

    @MollyandD I hope your CT gets better. I'm sorry it's so rough. 

    @roper2617 Woot! 37 weeks! You're officially considered "full term!" 

    @KMD1106 yes. LO has slowed down a lot with the moving, and now the moving is even a bit painful. All normal. 

    @mspacman34 with DD I had to have extra growth scans because they thought she was going to be very large, I just looked at it as another time to see her! 
  • How far along are you? 37 weeks!

    How big is baby? Full term baby sized :P, watermelon (just how my stomach looks!), a tray of Madeleines, romaine lettuce

    Any appointments this week? Just got back. Still at 1 cm, baby has dropped a tiny bit (still not enough for me to fully use my lungs), the "BH" I had the other night were actually real contractions, and I didn't gain any weight in the past week.

    Symptoms? RLS (Dr. gave me iron to try), insomnia, shortness of breath, swollen feet, sore ankles and wrists. It's a party over here!

    Cravings? No, I've had decreased appetite lately.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm getting excited! I'm finally to the point where I'm like okay yea, baby can come any time now...BUT still want to wait to line up perfectly with family visiting during my leave.

    Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

    GTKY: Do you have Easter plans?  We're going to brunch :)

  • Ugh, I never see my ticker change until I post here, on our weekly. Pizza?! The one food I can not stand since being pregnant. Gross.

  • @bacorrea, I'm with you on being hot all the time. I used to be the girl wearing sweaters in the A/C. Not anymore!

  • @MollyandD I hope the acupuncturist helps!
    @roper2617 congrats on 37 weeks! I'm jealous you get your own Easter egg hunt. And excited/terrified to be a new parent too!
    @KMD1106 Baby hasn't slowed down for me but I imagine it's normal. I'm so jealous you're eating sushi. But I would miss the raw stuff too.
    @mspacman34 I get one at 36 weeks because of GD. Just look at it as bonus!
    @bacorrea I'm hot all the time too!
    @nda_roxybabe glad your MD had ideas for your RLS!

    How big is baby? Pineapple

    Any appointments this week? I had one on Tuesday. I'm officially on weekly appointments. 

    Symptoms? heartburn, trouble sleeping, back pain, swollen ankles 

    Cravings? I'm also having less of an appetite lately.  There is no room for food. 

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Doc said baby was  head down, but in my right pelvis rather than centered.  She didn't seem concerned.  Just curious if anyone experienced something similar.  

    Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

    GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? Crawfish boil with family at my grandparents' home on the river. I'm looking forward to some R&R after pulling weeds today.  
  • @kmd1106 I haven't experienced less movement, but I think that is pretty common in third tri.  
  • @mspacman34 I'm not scheduled for a third tri u/s.  I think there was a change in recommendations for standard practice bc I had one less than 3 years ago with DS during third tri.  With the one, doc will only get if medically necessary. 
  • @nda_roxybabe hooray for full term!

    35 weeks! I like this number because when you're 35 weeks along, you have 35 days in front of you (35 weeks means 5 weeks left, by 7, is 35). Huge nerd, I know...

    How big is baby? I had an u/s yest, and his estimated size is 5 and 3/4 lbs. Amazing! Right exactly at the 50th percentile for gestational age, middle of the road. No complaints! They estimate a high-6/low-7 lb. baby in 2 weeks.

    Any appointments this week? I had an OB appt yest also, and we talked again about The Plan. She wants to induce early (b/c of the moderately high bp) at around 37.5 to 38 weeks. That'd put it at the first week of May. It seems too soon!!

    Next appointments are next Tues & Fri.

    Symptoms? Baby is breech so I'm doing everything I can to get him turned head down. Exercises, spinning babies, talking to him... I'm seriously going to start doing the crazy Internet old wives tales stuff: frozen bag of peas, shining a flashlight, playing music toward my crotch. Considered the chiro for the Webster technique but not sure if I want to spend $50 on it.

    Rants/Raves/Questions? Nervous about getting an external version in 2 weeks!! It's too soon!! I feel such a huge amt of pressure to get him turned. But trying to maintain some zen so he doesn't pick up on my anxiety.

    GTKY: Do you have Easter plans? It'll be like 80 here on Sunday! Easter egg hunt outside, yummy ham dinner, otherwise very low key. No travel, no house guests, no huge meals or anything.

    It seems like a lot of us are now on the once weekly appt plan. I've been on it for the past month, and now will be having twice weekly appts until he gets here! I'm kind of getting appt fatigue, TBH. Plus lab work ev 10ish days... not the funnest way to spend my free time!
