Re: Monday Ticker Change 4.24.17
How big is baby? Honeydew melon/hopefully over 5 pounds
Any appointments this week? We're going in today to follow up on our L&D visit
Symptoms? I wrote about this in the weekend chat, but contractions started yesterday at noon and have continued since. Some are real (over 40 seconds) and some aren't that intense yet. They were waking me up every 15 minutes for a while last night, and then they must have gotten more infrequent because I was able to get some sleep.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish baby would move more for me this morning! I just ate a sugar cookie so hopefully that'll do the trick. Rave: I had a beautiful shower on Saturday, and it looks like it was very good timing.
Progress made or plans for baby preparation? Car seat is installed, all baby stuff has been bought (but not all delivered), and I ordered a breast pump through my insurance. This week, I hope to get the bassinet delivered from my sister's house. We're closing on our new home Friday!
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? Not exactly a bucket list, but DH and I have been wanting to visit Colorado for years and we haven't done it yet. We want to do hiking and rock climbing out there.

35 Weeks
Pineapple
Today I'm meeting with the Maternity Navigator at the hospital. I'm not 100% sure it will be a good use of my time but I guess we'll see! Then Friday I have my 36 week appt a couple days early since my week next week is busy.
No real new symptoms. The heartburn/reflux is out of control. My SPD-type pain seems to have leveled off and isn't getting worse each week like it was before. Still having tons of BH contractions (2-3/hr a lot of the time) so I don't know what to think of that!
No real rants/raves. Just glad to have a couple days off after a wild weekend at work! I walked 4 miles at work yesterday according to my phone and it wasn't on me all day. So I'll be horizontal as much as possible today!
I have kind of stalled on progress. I have two showers in the next 2 weeks so I'm holding off on buying any more baby things until those are over. We have all the essentials ready except the car seat installation... the car seat was purchased by MIL but she's giving it to me at my shower in 2 weeks so hopefully she says in until then! I'm also not washing any more newborn clothes after learning that she may be in the 8-9lb range and we may not be in newborns too long!
Bucket list...? I just want to travel to tons of places. I'd like to hit every continent!
How big is baby? Winter Melon (whatever that is
Any appointments this week? Yup on Wednesday, will have an U/S to check amniotic fluid levels
Symptoms? none, woke up with a headache today otherwise just the same old symptoms
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am seriously starting to think this baby is going to be late - at least my doctor already told me she will induce if I am one week past due so I have a finite date...we will see if I have dilated any on Wednesday
Progress made or plans for baby preparation? Pretty much done with baby stuff. Just need to pack my hospital bag. Waiting on a few items to be delivered and then I will be all set with that.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? I would like to take a cruise on the Mediterranean Sea.
@kns1988 Glad you were able to get some sleep last night. Keep us posted once you go to your doctors today.
Any medical appointments/updates for baby or mom this week? not this week..next week will be Henry's 1 month checkup.
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning feeding/weight gain? I'm back to giving up on breastfeeding...the bottle is just too convenient for me. Thankfully, he will take the breast if he's hungry enough or just needs a snack or top-off lol
Questions, concerns, updates, etc. concerning sleeping or other symptoms for both baby & mom? I'm loving how little he is but at the same time, I'm ready to be able to let him sleep all night. Though, the last couple nights he's decided every 2hours he wants to eat. mommy is going to nap today!
Rants/raves/questions? Still trying to make a schedule for my days, so I can be semi-productive.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? I don't have a bucket list, but there's some places I'd like to travel to!
Best wishes to all with the remainder of your pregnancy!
How big is baby? The size of Zach Morris' brick phone :-)
Any appointments this week? Nope.. I'm supposed to, however they only have 1 appointment available at 2, an hour from my work. Yet they won't give me a doctors note so I can take a 1/2 day. So I have to wait.
Symptoms? I'm doing pretty well, the occasional contraction, back and hips always hurt, but I know women that are way more miserable.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just so excited to be at 37 weeks!!
Progress made or plans for baby preparation? I planned/packed most of my hospital bag this weekend.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? For Baby- I'm waiting for my custom nursery art to be finished. For me- I'm just happy becoming a mom right now, although I do see a beach vacation in the future....
We are at 39 weeks! Eek!
Size of a pumpkin, or we could also say a newborn.
Last appointment is tomorrow, at which we will set an eviction date for next week in case baby hasn't come by then.
Yesterday I hit a new level of exhaustion and had a horrible headache, which I am hoping doesn't become the norm for the next week. Constipation is also worse which I didn't think was possible.
Rants: my patience is running so thin right now!
Baby prep: I got LO's baby book started and filled out all the sections that I could before baby's birth. I also got to separate the photos for the older kids' books and just have to wait until tomorrow when some photo tape I ordered gets here and then I can finish updating all books, which I had been putting off and honestly didn't think would actually happen.
GTKY: Seeing Italy is at the top of my list.

@hp_momma - I am really hoping we don't need an induction. With my two others I actually couldn't tell labor was coming until the day before so all the BHC and occasional real contractions I have felt this time are a lot more than I had before. Then again I have read that false labor is pretty normal in 3rd+ pregnancies so we'll see. I'm sorry you are stressing over your baby. It's a difficult situation but praying that everything is well!

How big is baby? Romaine lettuce or a tackle box
Any appointments this week? Yes. Tomorrow.
Symptoms? The BH are constant. I posted this in another thread, but I had BH ever 5-10 mins for several hours last night. I took a bath and the eventually went away overnight. I normally have them quite frequently, but last time was the first time I've timed them. So I guess this could be happening a lot. I feel silly.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Anyone else notice their stomach noises seem amplified? I feel like everyone around me can here my stomach digesting my latte this morning.
Progress made or plans for baby preparation? Yesterday I made 11 freezer meals and froze 2 1/2 dozen muffins. (this might be what caused the BH)
GTKY: What's on your bucket list? So much travel. I've never left the US & North America. I need to get to Europe.

How big is baby? A lightweight kettleball
Any appointments this week? Wednesday
Symptoms? Back pain at night, I have to pee constantly, Braxton Hicks
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm just feeling stressed about work. I still have so much to prepare before leaving. I teach ells at an elementary school and I'm the district director.
Progress made or plans for baby preparation?
Im feeling good about this. Nursery is done, got my breast pump, made tons of freezer meals last week, and deep cleaned the house.
GTKY: What's on your bucket list?
Grand canyon
@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot I feel like I have the opposite problem. I haven't traveled enough in the US, but I've gone to tons of other random places around the world.
