    1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

    36 weeks - papaya!
    2. How are you feeling?

    I have a lingering cold, but I'm feeling good otherwise.
    3. Any appointments this week?

    This afternoon for a check-up before my OB leaves the country for a couple weeks.
    4. Rants/raves/questions?

    We're so behind on getting everything prepped for baby.  He's got a crib set up and that's about it. :neutral:

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival? 

    Probably nothing, knowing our track record, but I'd at least like to get my hospital bag packed.  We still need to wash clothes, get them put away, get out the formula maker and set it up, put sheets on the crib, set up the mamaRoo...oh, and find a new car.  No big deal. :no_mouth:
    6. GTKY: What tv or movie mom do you adore?

    Probably Suzanne's ("Crazy Eyes") mom on OITNB.  She's so supportive and determined to have her daughter be treated like anyone else.  She gives me the warm fuzzies.

    NST and BPP, both results were great. 1cm dilated, 30% effaced. Having a lot of contractions today so hopefully more progress before induction next week. 

    4. Rants/raves/questions?
    Now that I’m down to less than a week I feel like superwoman, not really I hurt everywhere but my mind tells me I can do this! 
    Two of my friends just had babies the last few days and with some of our bump friends having them it reminds me of the joy we had after DS was born and it’s making me SO excited to snuggle my own little boy. 

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
    Just sit here and let him cook.

    6. GTKY: What tv or movie mom do you adore?
    I read this as which do you identify with, so I was thinking about it that way, haha, and now I can’t rethink the question... I feel like the answer to that is Claire Dunphy from Modern Family.

    6. GTKY: What tv or movie mom do you adore?
    Too tired to think of something
  • 1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 37 weeks and as of 7 days ago Baby was 5 lbs and 12oz. Can’t remeber which fruit equivalent!


    2. How are you feeling? I’m vomitting 1-3 times daily regardless of being on medicines and sleeping elevated etc etc etc so honestly I am just ready and excited for baby to be here! Also- considering its 2:20am the sleep thing isn’t really happening, but I’m still hanging in there emotionally and hope the baby is here soon.

    3. Any appointments this week? Yes today! Doc had to wheel in and ultrasound since he couldn’t find baby’s head super quick but turns out it’s just really low and he said if he were a betting man he may see me deliver next weekend at 38 weeks! 70% effaced presently. Yay ! Please! I’m ready to stop the vomitting!!!


    4. Rants/raves/questions?
    My thoughts with all the upcoming moms who like me still get sick a lot. I expected and prepared for a newborn to be really tough but I was unprepared for how hard pregnancy would be for me. I’m also totally freaked out about breastfeeding (I’m going to try it but am not really feeling the want to do it oddly) and how hard the lack of sleep will be the first few weeks. Oh and about just the pain and fear of going into labor.

    5. What are you doing this week to prepare for baby’s arrival?
    Hanging art/shelves in the nursery and getting the diaper caddies ready so that when baby is home we more or less have what we need for him. Oh and finally taking our infant CPR class.

    6. GTKY: What tv or movie mom do you adore? The moms from The Bad Moms movies since they bring humor and some honesty to parenting. I love how they all adore their kids but that they own they aren’t perfect and are still human.
