  • How far along are you? 37 weeks

    How big is baby? Romaine lettuce apparently

    Upcoming appointments this week? Friday or as my 3 year old just learned somewhere fri-yay!

    Any new symptoms or changes? Nesting energy has finally kicked in (late this time)
     
    Rants/Raves/Questions? Have you ladies been getting checked for dilation every week now? I got checked two weeks ago before DH headed to Sweden but declined last week when asked. I can't remember if it's fairly common to get it weekly in the last month or not.

    I'm excited DH is back from Sweden (got home yesterday). Baby can come whenever he wants now!

  • How far along are you?
    Evie is 6 days old. (I was due 7/5, but induced on 6/29). 

    How big is baby?
    She was 8lb 2oz at birth and then 7lb 12oz at her first pediatrician visit on Monday. I imagine she's somewhere in between the two now. 

    Upcoming appointments this week?
    Her second appointment is on Monday. 

    Any new symptoms or changes?
    I'm on a constant emotional rollercoaster. I have these intense waves of love followed by crazy crying spells (especially when I'm at the breaking point with exhaustion). 
     
    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Rave: 
    my husband has been so amazing these past few days. I seriously cannot imagine what this week would have been like without him going above and beyond to make sure baby Evelyn and I have what we need. He's been such a needed force of positivity through my breastfeeding challenges. 

    Rant: 
    My Always-brand disposable underwear/diapers are fantastic, but I'm getting a little tired of all the bleeding...especially after being period-free for so long. That coupled with the need to run and get my peri bottle whenever I have to pee, crazy sore nipples and pain around my stitches has my body missing some of my pregnancy symptoms.

    I usually for the Disney classics when I feel like a shower concert. 
  • How far along are you? 38 weeks / 4 days

    How big is baby?
    A winter melon?

    Upcoming appointments this week?
    Yes, I have my 39 week appointment tomorrow. I have some questions I forgot to ask the doctor the last time, despite writing everything down! Pregnancy brain....

    Any new symptoms or changes?
    Nothing new. Feeling very tired, swollen, heartburn, etc. Ready to be done. If all goes as planned we will meet baby girl 1 week from today!!
     
    Rants/Raves/Questions?
    Just feeling really anxious. We have 1 week left to go and I just feel like I'm forgetting something or there has to be something else to do. I just want next week to be here but then I get so nervous that we don't know what we're doing!

    Anything from the 90s :)

  • @lanie1000 congrats! Everything you're describing definitely brings me back to my other births...especially the emotional rollercoaster. I remember just breaking into tears telling my MIL how great DH was being. All normal. I also remember being so dependent on the peri bottle. I was so scared to pee without it but I couldn't get the water to warm up in my sink fast enough and I had to pre so bad!

  • @Creedon778 YES!!! And just listening to the water run as it heats up makes it that much worse. On the bright side, I put shoes on without grunting this morning. Gotta celebrate the minor victories. :smile:
