Re: Monday ticker change 4/17
1. 40 wks!
2. I'll find out more specifically tomorrow, but over 8 lbs for sure.
3. Pink, nameless.
4. "The Works" tomorrow at 40+1: NST, u/s and prenatal. Chiro today.
5. Hip/pelvic pain, especially at night when I've been still for a few hours.
6. My mom is driving my nutty. She has been here since 4/5 and I am already feeling mostly over it and the baby isn't even here yet.
7. Washed another load of laundry that materialized somehow. Put finishing touches on hospital bag and birth plan. DH and I went through a bunch of hypnobirthing materials to review yesterday and that was really nice. Other than that just walking, wearing my support brace and doing the dates, EPO.
8. I have a black fitted maternity dress I feel nice in still.

2. I'll find out tomorrow at a breastfeeding support group. Hoping for some real good weight gain.
3. Pink, Lucy Evanna.
4. None. Just the support group.
5. The usual I guess for a mom of a newborn. I have about hit the point where no nap feels like remotely enough.
6. Breastfeeding has gotten easier. But now we do nothing but nurse. She won't sleep anywhere but on me. It's exhausting. I have family coming today and I want to take a shower.
7. N/a. DH still hasn't quite finished the nursery. Hoping he will today.
8. Nursing tanks and yoga pants. TBH I'm proud of my postpartum body. A few stretch marks and my middle is kinda like bread dough and my boobs are popping out of my tanks but I feel proud and empowered by what my body did in making this baby.
