How far along are you? / How old is baby? 39 weeks
How big is baby? a pumpkin
Upcoming appointments this week? tomorrow
Any new symptoms or changes? back pains mimicking back labor...cranky as hell and hating my husband
Rants/Raves/Questions? Finished my final two grad classes this week, so now I have 30 credits past my masters and I get a pay raise...super proud of myself. I can take 10 more to get another one (masfers+60), but I think I need a break.
GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now. I can't find one that won't get me a warning, so Hermione will have to suffice...
Wednesday with CNM and I'm supposed to do a yoga session with my doula at some point
Any new symptoms or changes?
Hard core nesting! I'm getting over a gross chest cold and I can't stop coughing, ughhh. I think I pulled an an muscle because it's so painful to cough now. Hopefully our house will be germ free by the time baby gets here.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Seriously craving IHOP pancakes and the closest one is a half hour away. I just booked a babysitter for next weekend so DH can take me out for a huge stack of pancakes, nom.
GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now.
How far along are you? / How old is baby? Elana was born on the 4th, so 6 days! Did I even post in this thread last week? I must have but it feels like an ETERNITY ago.
How big is baby? Probably getting closer to her birth weight, so somewhere approaching 7lbs 8oz
Upcoming appointments this week? 2nd pediatrician visit
Any new symptoms or changes? Lol. Yes, several. Recovery is going well at least... I feel miles ahead of where I was on the first day home.
Rants/Raves/Questions? We have a nocturnal baby who won't sleep on her back at night. That is all.
GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now. Ditto @manillabar.
How far along are you? / How old is baby? She was 12 days old yesterday. How big is baby? 4 kilos - so she's up a ~pound since birth Upcoming appointments this week? The midwife does a home visit every 1-4 days, which has been WONDERFUL. She comes today. Any new symptoms or changes? The disgusting umbilical cord stump FINALLY fell off last night! She may have an outie...I think those are adorable but worry she will hate it. Rants/Raves/Questions? Our mothers and DH have been taking such good care of us! I am finally healing well. Today was our first kind of big outing with both kids. DS (age 2) took the opportunity to dart into the street, scaring us all to death and causing a big fight with DH. Uggghhh. I feel able to take care of two at home, but going out is going to take some adjustment. All normal, but so stressful. DS is adjusting well but suuuuuuuuper needy right now, which is exhausting. GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now.
Upcoming appointments this week? Weekly appointment on Thursday
Any new symptoms or changes? She's dropped down considerably in the past week. Being able to breathe again is fantastic. The pressure in my pelvis is not.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Waiting is hard. Having no idea when she's coming is so hard. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, just frustrating. Everything is ready for her to get here now. Just trying to get as much work done as possible to not dump on the people who will be helping me out.
GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now. Killing time waiting for baby girl to come...
Upcoming appointments this week? Weekly appointment and NST due to low papp-A on Wednesday
Any new symptoms or changes? She seems to have moved lower (and thankfully flipped from breech to vertext last week!!), diarrhea last night and this morning, no apetite...otherwise nada.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I know I should be enjoying my potential last 2 weeks with DD1 (which I am!) but I also can.not.think.about.any.thing.else. It is brutal. I work from home but let me tell you, it is a struggle. To all those ladies working in an office etc...up until due date, brava. BRA.VA. Don't know how you do it.
GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now. dont know how to gif and too lazy to figure it out.
How big is baby? a shorthair cat, small pumpkin, or whatever
Upcoming appointments this week? had one yesterday. Baby is head down but slightly posterior, so they gave me exercises to do and positions to sit in.
Any new symptoms or changes? some crampy/achy feelings, and getting harder not to waddle. Still no B-H.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: finished grad school yesterday. Rant: my friend's husband asks me every time he sees me if my "timer has popped yet," aka if my belly button has popped out. It hasn't! Stop asking! I don't know why but that phrase really gets on my nerves. He also responded to me disagreeing with him about something, "wow, you're really pregnant." Maybe I should stop hanging out with him until I'm less cranky.
GTKY: Gif party! Stolen from August, show us how you're feeling right now. never bothered to learn how to gif on here.... I'll come back if I figure it out!
Thanks @virginiaunicorn11 I have been wondering how to do that! I know I don't go here on the Sunday check in, but hope you don't mind if I practice!
DD is one week and one day old and this is how I'm feeling ETA: It worked!!! When I was around on my old BMB there was some crazy codes that involved a lot of < and > !
