Re: 30 weeks EDD end of Jan - Feb 3

  • 1. Due 2/2
    2. I feel good,  my belly is  huge however and i have to hoist it up to sit down comfortably. 

    3. On Tuesday is my first 2 week appointment and i have a bonus "I'm old" ultrasound.  Super exited to see baby again (and for dh to come to an appointment with me,  he's never been.)

    4. Annoyed at everyone all the time and trying really hard not to be snarky and bite everyone's heads off.

    5. We'll start listening to Christmas music after the thanksgiving meal,  but  won't decorate until the first advent, it's a tradition in his family (my mil is German).

  • 1) When are you due?


    2/1 but having a c section on 1/22

    2) How are you feeling?

    Miserable. Nausea came back and the sciatic pain is too much. I now will see a physical therapist and the doctor put me on restrictions at work. No more than 20 hrs a week. I’m not sure how that’s going to fly but I really just need to get through busy December and my job won’t care if I lay in the office all day. 

    3) Any appointments this week?

    Just went yesterday. I had to tell the doctor where the baby was. Not really great for confidence when I lay down and there is an obvious oval lump on one side and not the other. He likes to face my spine and is always in this spot. 

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?

    We’ve been saving (procrastinating?) buying things until around this time for sales and so far it’s paying off. I’m excited to finally get baby things because I’m in full nesting mode. It’s driving DH nuts! 

    5) GTKY: When will you go into holiday mode? 

    i think come December. DS was pretending to be santa yesterday with his pillow case and he loves Christmas movies but I’m not ready to dive into all that yet.

    We have just started getting Baby things as well.  Hoping to get some good deals  on the big stuff and some  of the smaller things as Christmas gifts.

  • @mamaof5already I totally gave huge hints to the family today for Christmas. DS is a size 6 and loves books and the baby does not need anything in size newborn and yes we are not having a baby shower but feel free to get books and developmental toys for Christmas, is literally all I kept repeating to people. 
  • 1. Due Feb 2nd!

    2. Feeling great. Just starting to deal with some insomia and aches and pains at night. Most of all though, just excited to meet LO so soon!

    3. 30 week check-in with midwife on thursday, then follow-up with the Perinatologist on Friday.

    4. We have also just this week started seriously gathering all things baby. Buying a lot on sale because some of these deals can’t be beat. 

    5. Holiday mode started November 1st when all the Halloween decorations came down :) almost done with gift buying. Only 2 more people left to buy for!
  • @nightnurse92 I always go Christmas shopping like the week before Christmas. I’m such a procrastinator and no one ever wants anything that’s like rare or selling out. I’m going to have to get better when the kids get older and want things that might sell out!

     My dad used to do all Christmas shopping on Christmas eve,  so a week before is pretty good.

    waiting that long would stress me out! Im really into gift wrapping as well and only buy coordinating wrapping paper and bags. I know i’m weird but i really just love this time of year and i love giving gifts. 90% of my shopping is done online though. Amazon Prime is the best investment.
  • @nightnurse92 I buy premade gift bags. I will second guess buying a gift if I think I can’t put it in a gift bag lmao
  • I'm cheap.  I buy gift wrap at clearance after Christmas and put it away for the following year.  Any gift bags we have ares used until they die.

  • 1) When are you due? Feb 1
    2) How are you feeling? Not bad, minus how weird it is having him moving around so much in there
    3) Any appointments this week? Yeah I'm up to 3 appointments a week, hooray. At least I can see his progress regularly.
    4) Rants/Raves/Questions? So this whole having a baby thing is starting to Become Real (FTM) and I'm starting to panic a little. People keep saying I'm gonna fall in love and it's so exciting and just wait cuz I won't want to do anything but be with the kiddo, but I'm not getting that warm fuzzy feeling yet. Tell me this is a) normal or b) it gets better?
    5) GTKY: When will you go into holiday mode? 
    We put up the tree over the weekend and I prepped a big batch of frozen cookie dough for when people visit. I'm in the holiday mode now!

    1) When are you due?
    due beginning of Feb, but my repeate c section is scheduled for 1/30
    2) How are you feeling?
    Feeling tired, insomnia at night and just uncomfortable. Bending to pick things up off the floor is getting harder. 
    3) Any appointments this week?
    Nothing this week

    5) GTKY: When will you go into holiday mode? 
    After Thanksgiving - I started doing some shopping before hand in case I don't feel like it later. I did a lot online. We set up the tree the other day. 

    @clc515 - I wouldn't stress about not feeling warm and fuzzy just yet. Everyone's is different. Some have it during pregnancy, others once LO arrives and others after. There is no right or wrong. 

    Edit -   I did a Lot online not a little - lol. 
  • 1) When are you due?
    2/7 but having a RCS on 1/31

    2) How are you feeling?
    huge. Tired. Starting to stress about the boys birthday party and the holidays. 

    3) Any appointments this week?
    nope. Not until the 4th

    4) Rants/Raves/Questions?
    My BFF gave me her bedding set last night and my BILs brothers wife is sending over a box of her sons baby clothes tonight. DH is assembling the crib this weekend. Things are coming along!!

    5) GTKY: When will you go into holiday mode? 
    We already did the outside lights/decorations since the boys were super excited to get them up, plus it was a mild weekend. I’m dreading putting the rest up because I know they are going to get moved and/or broken but they will probably go up this weekend. 

    Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. Holiday travel and a nasty bug was going through the house so I’ve been offline a lot lately.
