  • How many weeks are you/baby's size?
    37 weeks. Romaine lettuce, winter melon or watermelon.

    How are you feeling?
    Pretty good, but I haven't been sleeping well at this point.

    Any appointments this week?
    Every Friday from now until she is born.

    Rants/raves/questions?

    GTKY: are you ready for baby? What do you have left to do?
    I keep procrastinating on packing my bag. I have a pile of stuff to take to the hospital, but I think part of me is trying to hide from the fact that this could happen anytime in the next 5 weeks.

  • How many weeks are you/baby's size?
    36 weeks- papaya!

    How are you feeling?
    Great- still some gnarly heartburn and tired when I go for too long, but not super uncomfy. Feeling very sporadic cramping which is new, but not worrisome. 

    Any appointments this week?
    I had to go in to my doctors office to get my blood pressure checked because it hit 140/90 for a day. It's gone back down, getting some blood work done though just to rule anything out. 
    Had a growth check US for said hypertension this morning.
    Regular appointments weekly Fridays here onwards.
    Getting down to that time with so many appointments !

    Rants/raves/questions?
    Rant: this time change, coupled with Southern California deciding to get grey, has me so tired. Currently laying in bed with multiple things to do.
    Rave: so excited for baby. That's all I can say is I'm so excited haha. 

    GTKY: are you ready for baby? What do you have left to do?
    @linds0503 also procrastinating so hard. I have to just get it done. I keep reading stories about people who've been told to go straight to labor and delivery at doctors appointments and I want to be prepared, but probably also in denial. 
    I think we're about as ready as we're going to be. We have a million things to do that were slowly getting done. 
  • How many weeks are you/baby's size?
     34 weeks, size of butternut squash 

    How are you feeling?
     lorts of bh but doing good besides my cold I can't seem to get rid of.

    Any appointments this week?
     yes on Thursday 

    Rants/raves/questions?
     rant- my patience have completely disappeared and is making work really hard

    GTKY: are you ready for baby? What do you have left to do? 
     I have 2 shelfs and my curtains to hang up and  I also am procrastinating my to go bag I have a bag out but nothing in it but I still have 6 weeks hopefully
  • How many weeks are you/baby's size?
    36 papaya 
    How are you feeling?
    For the most part good. I can't sleep laying down any more due to acid reflux.
    Any appointments this week?
    Thursday
    Rants/raves/questions?
    I am not sure if it's hormones or the week before spring break but my students have been driving me crazy. It's probably a little of both.
    GTKY: are you ready for baby? What do you have left to do? For the most part. We need to install the car seat. I should probably sanitize some bottles. Pack my bag. My big thing that I am worried I won't finish before she gets her is that I am crocheting a matching hat and blanket. The hat is mostly done but I am a little over a half done with the blanket. I have been working on it since the new year, so I am afraid I won't finish it.
  • @luna8433 I hear you on students. It's like they picked the last month of pregnancy to just stop listening  :D:(
  • How many weeks are you/baby's size?
    36 weeks, Papaya

    How are you feeling?
    I have more pressure down there. Today at appointment said he had dropped/engaged and that I was dialated to 2cm. Heartburn is bearable (probably because he's dropped now), and sleeping like crap. 

    Any appointments this week?
    Every Thursday till baby

    Rants/raves/questions?
    I had a high trace of glucose in my urine at my appointment today. Like +4! I go in for a 2 hour glucose test tomorrow. They think I might have gestational diabetes. It it could be random. Hoping it's random. Has anyone had this happen this late in the game? 

    GTKY: are you ready for baby? What do you have left to do? Not totally. I have to wash and sterilize my pump parts and bottles. Also pack my hospital bag.

    @jkatkins I got diagnosed with gd my 1st pregnancy at 36.5. For me the test sucked going that long without eating. They basically just asked me to check my sugar levels and I made no diet changes at all. I got tested that late because fluid levels were on high end of normal but never spilled  sugar from my urine. 
    Eta changed dripped to spilled
  • @rklinge0 yeah it is totally weird this late in the game. And the test is even weirder. I go in at 9am tomorrow and they take my 1st blood draw. Then they want me to go eat a huge breakfast (pancakes, OJ, toast... the works), come back 2 hours later and do a second blood draw. Never heard of it but whatever. Totally getting my pancake on. Might be the last for a while. Lol
  • Yeah I had to do the 3 hour drink test and they told me to fast for 12 hours. Yours sounds a lot better. Good luck today
  • Thanks @rklinge0! Did the test and hoping I'll get the results later tonight or tomorrow morning. 
  • How many weeks are you/baby's size?
    37 weeks tomorrow  :) she feels big! let's just say that  :s

    How are you feeling?
    I'm so happy I hit the 37 weeks because if all goes to plan I can now have my third at home  :# 

    Any appointments this week?
    I have midwife appointments every Friday from now on.

    Rants/raves/questions?
    I'm short tempered, tired all the time, hungry all the time and I've had some sickness again!

    GTKY: are you ready for baby? What do you have left to do?
    I still have to buy a moses basket, baby wrap, breast pump, plastic sheeting and a few more towels for my home birth next week!
    I'm sooooo ready for her! I'm one grumpy, hormonal lady at the moment.

    Pretty good, but definitely a bit antisocial at this point.

    Every Wednesday from now until she is born. Getting group step b test done this wedns morning and checked for dilation and effacement and will be able to have one more ultrasound scan coming up.

    I am as ready as I’d possibly imagined I’d be at this point.  Having a huge baby shower next week at 37 weeks which I’m only excited for the cake at this point
