Upcoming appointments this week? Had one today for my strep B test. He confirmed baby is heads down, 1 cm dilated. Need baby to at least stay comfy in there for two more weeks until DH gets back from Sweden.
Any new symptoms or changes? Having a hard time sleeping at night due to the constant peeing, pains, and broken AC in our bedroom. Having to sneak naps in during the day to stay sane!
Rants/Raves/Questions? No.
GTKY: if you had a pick a celebrity / famous person as your labor buddy who would it be? Can be someone dead or alive Michelle Obama - she's a fellow mom and she seems like she's be a good combination of helping keep the calm and girl power encouragement.
@Creedon778 how frustrating to have abrkken a/c. We just had ours serviced and it is running much better. Thankfully, it never quit. Sorry if I missed it previously, what is DS doing in Sweden?
@WeddingNotes13 we have a good friend from college getting married there to a Swedish girl. The original plan was a family trip but then when I got pregnant the timing didn't work. I told DH he should still go and take our oldest bc it's a great experience. DS2 and I will be headed to the beach at the cape while they're gone.
How far along are you? 38 weeks How big is baby? at my Friday growth scan her weight estimate was close to 8lbs.
Upcoming appointments this week? yep. My second weekly NST is friday.
Any new symptoms or changes? lots of cramping. I'm guessing it's my cervix continuing to soften and dilate.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Apparently baby girl is still too high. I just wish she would drop into my pelvis!
GTKY: if you had a pick a celebrity / famous person as your labor buddy who would it be? Can be someone dead or alive. hmm...probably Houdini so he could just "magic" this baby out.
How far along are you? 36 weeks How big is baby? I had a presentation/general wellness U/S on Thursday, tech said he is about 5lbs (I was 35w 1d)
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope
Any new symptoms or changes? Lots of headbutts to the cervix. Little dude also decided to host a rave in my uterus for most of the day yesterday....it was interesting.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I know it's squished quarters, but having the fetus try to stretch out while I'm driving home from work is super uncomfortable - save the stretching for when I'm on the couch!
GTKY: if you had a pick a celebrity / famous person as your labor buddy who would it be? Can be someone dead or alive. I say Mila Kunis because she seems so down to earth. And has had 2 kids.
Married 8 years - Aug 23/08 DD - 6 years old, March 17/11 #2 due July 19th! (It's a boy!)
How far along are you? 38+1! How big is baby? Right now she looks like a basketball hanging low in my belly. So basically enormous. Upcoming appointments this week? I had a big one yesterday where we finalized my induction day (next Wednesday). So surreal. Any new symptoms or changes? Currently 3cm dilated. Contractions are getting aggressive but not yet painful. Everything is hanging low and my bladder is always telling me I need to pee. Good times.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We finally set up the nursery! So happy to have my act together. I am also getting a little sad knowing that it's my final pregnancy and the end is near.
GTKY: if you had a pick a celebrity / famous person as your labor buddy who would it be? Can be someone dead or alive. Neil Patrick Harris, because he has the cutest kids in the world (besides mine, of course).
