Re: Monday Ticker Change 11/13
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 29 weeks / Acorn Squash | Barbie Convertible (one of these things is not like the other and I know because I currently have an acorn squash in my CSA box and it is not the size of a barbie convertible)
2) How are you feeling? Hungry, heartburny, tired.
3) Any appointments this week/last? I had my 28 week apt last week. Still on modified bedrest due to funneling in my cervix. Going in today to do a Fetal Fibronectin swab test, hoping it's still a negative, but if it's not we'll just get the steroid shot to be safe, and keep an eye on things over the next two weeks.
4) How are baby preparations going? I ordered a piece for her room that should be here today. I’m going to pick up a few other things this week. I created a baby preparedness list yesterday so I kinda sorta have a list of things to do. So I’m going to start working on knocking things off that list this week.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
I think I’ve decided to not do a maternity session and instead invest that money into a chest freezer.
Rant: I am really stressed that DH is throwing a baby shower at our house every weekend. All he has said is "I've got it taken care of". 1 . WTF does that mean? 2 . I HATE surprises. Like... probably more than other people. I'm a planner and I just, I can't stand it. And, since I'm on the modified bedrest, my house is not as guest clean as I'd like. So every weekend rolls around and I find myself stressed that it's not clean enough. We have DS's second birthday this weekend, just a really small gathering, us 4 plus 2 couples and maybe 2 kids, so I've gotten it to a decent place for this weekend, but like, I really hate surprises and I hate not knowing if I need to be cleaning my house.
6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here? I will never miss being pregnant again. Thank you sweet baby Jesus that this is the last time I will be doing this. I’m just not a happy pregnant woman. I know there are so many who, and I’m thankful for the thing that I get at the end, but the 40ish weeks before that totally blows. I think I’ll miss the simplicity of having one kid to deal with. I hear jumping from one to two isn’t as easy as you mentally think it is. Soo… those two things.

31 weeks, asparagus
2) How are you feeling?
omg so much pain. Having the worst sciatica on one side. I was in so much pain last night I barely slept. And that was after a bath, hours of a heating pad and Tylenol. Lord help me make it through this
3) Any appointments this week/last?
I have 2 appointments this week. One regular OB check up, hoping baby is head down now. And I have a physc appointment to get started on medications. I'm hoping by premedicating this time i won't have such bad PPD. But I have a ton of questions so it will be a long appointment
4) How are baby preparations going?
great. About 70 percent done. I am disappointed with the curtains I bought. Stupid me, I measured the length and not the width so they aren't wide enough. MIL is coming over tonight to see if she can sew a borders around them to make them wider

6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here?
I am so over it at this point. Everything hurts and working is becoming almost unbearable not to mention the half mile walk to the parking garage each day before and after work. I would truly like to go into labor on my own this time but we will see
2) How are you feeling? I honestly can't complain. Things are definitely getting slower and I am having back pain today from overdoing it this weekend, but since getting new meds for the heartburn I feel pretty normal. I am hoping it stays that way for a little while longer.
3) Any appointments this week/last? Last week I had my 32 week appointment, baby is measuring right on target and she is head down woohoo! We also had a 3D ultrasound and I may be biased (obvi) but she is gorgeous and even has some of my features (I was convinced she was going to look like I just baked her and had nothing to do with her since my FI's genes are stronggg).
4) How are baby preparations going? After this weekend, I can say they are going amazing and I am SO happy! We took a hospital tour on Thursday, built her dresser, organized and put away all of the shower gifts, decided what needs to be washed and removed all tags from those items, purchased her crib, mattress, changing pad, bedding, humidifier, and etc. At this point I need to have my FI spray paint picture frames for me, and hang her curtains and rods and then hang a few other items and we will be done. Her crib could take a minute to be delivered, so I just want to make sure everything else is squared away. Last items will be nursing bras, more bottles, burp cloths, receiving blankets, and a swing. But I am thinking that I will wait to do all of tht shopping on Black Friday/that weekend/Cyber Monday.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: buybuyBaby had a Veteran's Day sale this past weekend and since I work for the DOD I was able to get 25% off my ENTIRE purchase, not just one item. It saved us sooo much money and I was so grateful!
6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here? I am on the savoring train. I have LOVED being pregnant. I feel beautiful honestly when I am usually so hard on myself about my body and appearance. So I think I will miss that the most, but I am hoping that I found a new way to love myself because of it. And I am most looking forward to seeing her squishy little adorable face and WINE. Because let's be real, the struggle has been HARD lol.
30 Weeks - Zucchini
2) How are you feeling?
Pretty much exhausted, but otherwise well. Not sleeping enough at night and too much during the day. Oh and the backache is real.
3) Any appointments this week/last?
NST tomorrow, then an ultrasound/BPP and another NST and an office visit on Friday. Might as well not even bother showing up for work Friday.
4) How are baby preparations going?
Coming along. We're starting to have a decent amount of clothes. We should have the crib in place by the end of the week. Having a work shower today.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
Do winter babies need coats? I can find baby snowsuits, but not baby coats for little babies. So I am assuming they don't use them?
6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here?
Some of both. Being pregnant has been amazing. I honestly go back and forth between feeling hideous and feeling awesome. It's really refreshing to be able to walk around with my belly out and feel like that's ok, and that's how I'm supposed to look. I'm going to feel bad going back to being a chubby girl always trying to suck it in. I think I will miss the kicking, it's become so much of a part of my daily existence, what will it feel like when it's gone? I won't mind being more flexible though, and as a lifetime stomach sleeper I am DYING to sleep face down again. DYING.
I will say, and maybe I'm a crazy person. My OB thinks that this baby should be an only. I guess by a lot of standards this has been a really hard pregnancy, like I've had a lot of unpleasant symptoms, I'm high risk, etc. But on the whole it's been a good experience for me. I'm already thinking about baby #2.
1) How far along are you? How big is baby? 32 weeks!
2) How are you feeling? pretty crappy. Shortness of breath, heartburn, trouble sleeping, still vomiting a couple times a week and TIRED
3) Any appointments this week/last? This week just a regular appointment
4) How are baby preparations going? finally some progress. Room is painted and dresser and crib are in! All newborn and 0-3 month clothes are put away. Looking forward to decorating now!

6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here? I’m finding myself savoring the moments of just having a preschooler and loving on my big girl, not so much savoring the pregnancy.
30 weeks! Size of a zucchini which is weird, how is a zucchini bigger than an eggplant?
2) How are you feeling?
Waivering between great and just big. I feel good and then realize i can’t put on shoes and I get out of breath climbing my stairs which is scaring me because I have 2+ months to go so how much harder is it going to get?
3) Any appointments this week/last?
I go in Thursday for a normal appointment.
4) How are baby preparations going?
I’m finally making some progress on my list. I probably overdid it but on my day off I finally cleaned, organized, did laundry and started to feel like the baby’s room (also my room) is coming together. And I wrote my first batch of thank you notes today!
5) Rants/Raves/Questions?
agh only 10 weeks to go!!
6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here?
I’m definitely not ready yet so I guess savoring these weeks. But I’m also anxious. I hate not being able to plan things, so not knowing when she’ll arrive or how or who will visit and when is kind of stressing me out.
I haven’t loved being pregnant but now that I am very obviously so and am getting a lot of attention i have to say it’s kind of nice. People are so happy for me and it’s sweet.
2) How are you feeling? Pretty good but I am tired all day...until I get in bed and then I can't fall asleep!
3) Any appointments this week/last? Had a check up last week and everything looks great...except the scale...that part I do not enjoy lol.
4) How are baby preparations going? The nursery was starting to come together with all of the big furniture in there but since we had our shower on Sunday, it now looks like a bomb went off with stuff everywhere! Planning on organizing it this weekend and really looking forward to decorating it.
5) Rants/Raves/Questions? Honestly, I feel bad for DH lately - he works a highly stressful job, is taking a class on Sundays, works on our house every spare minute he has and he takes care of me! He never gets to relax and I want to do something nice for him, I'm just not sure what to do! He's not a fan of massages (unless I'm the one doing the massaging) and he's a simpleton so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!
6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here?
I would say a little of both, I can definitely see why some people LOVE being pregnant - being pregnant is amazing, I love feeling her kicks and I love that she's always with me! I know I will miss being pregnant BUT I am also pretty done with being stiff, out of breath, and getting up every hour to pee during the night. I think I will definitely be ready when her time comes!
@auntieraindrop Haha yes that sounds quite familiar to me too!
2) How are you feeling? sore
3) Any appointments this week/last? I had my follow up U/S and the Dr said baby is around 5 lbs but amount of fluid was within normal range, so that's a relief.
4) How are baby preparations going? I cleaned and organized the nursery this weekend. The rest has to be done by my husband.

6) GTKY: Are you savoring these last few weeks before baby comes, or are you dying to get baby out? What will you miss most about being pregnant, what are you most looking forward to once LO is here? I'm enjoying parts of being pregnant... like feeling him move and feeling like I actually accept my body right now. I will miss feeling him kick. I am looking forward to holding LO.
