How are you feeling?: Exhausted, rundown and overwhelmed with the things we need to do. Why are crib sheets so expensive? I cant decide which ones I want bc I want them all and they are like $20 each.
Rants/Raves: It was so hot this past weekend. I spent a bit of time in the pool but man it was pretty uncomfortable otherwise.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax? Coffee and a good book out on the deck. I am also making a Christmas stocking for Emmett it's a felt applique and doing that is somewhat relaxing as well.

Boy!
Baby is the size of a(n):
Baby
Upcoming Appointments:
Weekly check up tomorrow
How are you feeling?:
Finally starting to feel big and heavy, rounding out a bit. Really bad shortness of breath, even when I'm not doing much, so that's not comfortable... it makes it hard to get the little things done.
Rants/Raves:
I had an ultrasound last week; baby is 6.1 pounds (give or take 1 pound because he was in a bad position and wouldn't move for a more accurate measurement). He's head down and wayyyyyyyyy low in the pelvis, which explains the pressure and aches in my hips and inner thighs.
Rant: I have my first cervical check last week after the ultrasound. I'm a first timer, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Wow, that was 100% not pleasant. I'll be opting out of those until it's medically necessary. I was not dilated or effaced, just confirmed that he's low in the pelvis. No thanks.

GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
reading or going to get my nails done
Baby girl is 36 weeks today and will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday. I'm a tired ping pong ball going back and forth between toddler at home and baby in nicu. Ready to take her home and she's close. Just need to move from daytime nursing to 24 hour nursing so I will move back into the hospital to establish that. That's the only thing we are waiting on to get discharged!
I like eating snacks and watching something to relax lol.

Upcoming Appointments:
Non-stress tests Wed at regular OB and again Fri at MFM, plus meeting with HR to set up FMLA/maternity leave. Nothing like waiting until the last minute.
How are you feeling?:
Accomplished. Today, instead of going to my IL's with DH and DD, I got the house cleaned, HR meeting set up, clean bill of health from the dentist, hospital bag packed with stuff I won't need for now, pre-registered at the hospital, and painted my toenails! Just typing all that made me tired haha!
Rants/Raves:
Glad I stayed home to get things done around the house. My back and knees hurt, but so worth it to have gotten so much done.
Questions:
GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax?
Reading a good book in a nice hot bath and lately, watching crime shows.
Hoping they let us get away with just one night and then discharge tomorrow, but technically im supposed to be by myself and go in when they call me to nurse 1-3 nights before she rooms in with me the night before discharge, but the room was empty and it's closer than the "on call for nursing" rooms and she's been doing so well they said she could join me even though we hadn't done overnight nursing before.....so idk if this can count as the night before discharge overnight or if they'll make us do 2 of them. We will see....it will also depend on how the night goes, of course. But im assuming it will go well 😬

Boy/Girl/finding out later? Girl
Baby is the size of a(n): Papaya
Upcoming Appointments: Today - OB - start of weekly appts
How are you feeling?: Relatively well, she's dropped significantly, I have bowel issues every day now and my sleep is most definitely disrupted!
Rants/Raves:
Questions: When did everyone's Braxton Hicks start? I haven't had any!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax? My favourite way to relax is in bed with my hubby as he rubs my belly and I scratch his head ❤ we talk about our daughter and how close it's getting!
Boy/Girl/finding out later? Girl
Baby is the size of a(n): a 39th percentile baby at 36 weeks!? (Was told 3 weeks ago I was measuring small, ultrasound last week said 39th percentile, which makes sense, I wasn’t a big baby, and I’m only 5’4”)
Upcoming Appointments: Thurs, weekly appointments
How are you feeling?: good, with boughts of lite cramps - especially in the middle of the night right after I pee - which I’ve also been told was normal... I wonder if they are Braxton-Hicks and I just don’t know any better?
Rants/Raves: DH has food poisoning, frankly, I feel for him but so glad it wasn’t me... for all my neuroses about the pregnancy and baby - I didn’t need one more thing to freak out about.
Questions: who are these crazy women that enjoy being pregnant? For me it’s a mix of physical discomfort, freaking out that my body will do something to inadvertently hurt the baby, and having weird old men chat me up. I’m excited to meet lo, but this whole pregnancy thing is not exactly a spa holiday in my book.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to relax? Crap tv, glass of wine, a good bitch session with dear friends, and sitting around with DH and making fun of each other.
@BigBadWolf12 so glad to hear you guys are almost discharged and everything is looking good!!
@BigBadWolf12 yay hope you get discharged and get your baby girl home ASAP!
@flagchic I find cervical checks distinctly unpleasant unless your fairly dilated... they are a hard pass for me unless I pass my EDD or am actively in labor.
@moon1417 can you find some cute gently used ones? Thats what we did and paid 3-5$ each...

All the best to you Mamas ❤️❤️
Glad to hear all the wonderful progress your little one is making @BigBadWolf12
We were discharged today and we are home now! She had a hard time settling until 2am. But then slept better after that. She's been nursing non stop, which is a big change from the nicu but I'm engorged and welcome the relief so...win win in a way.
DH is going to pack up later....end of July/August, not gone yet.
