  Baby is the size of a (an): 🍍
  
  

  Team blue/pink/green: 💚
  
  

  Upcoming Appointments: weekly BPP’s
  
  

  How are you feeling?: prodromal labor is exhausting. My OB doesn’t think I’ll make it to my induction date set for 37+6 (July 19)
  
  

  Rants/Raves: Rave- if baby came today we have everything we need. I was so worried we wouldn’t be ready!
  Rant- I’ve hit the point where everything I do triggers contractions. I’m too early to work with them and hope for active labor but I’m so tired! I’m especially tired of not being able to do anything without hurting. 
  
  

  Questions: anyone else having prodromal labor? I had it 3 weeks with my first, he came early. I’m worried I won’t know when I hit active labor. The only reason I did with my son was because I was in back labor and it was AWFUL.

  Baby is the size of a (an): jicama

  Team blue/pink/green: pink

  Upcoming Appointments: July 5th for growth scan

  How are you feeling?: I don't want to do anything. Exhausted but have a lot of projects to get done. 

  Rants/Raves: Rant: Had a little baby sprinkle over the weekend and my brother's gf was hosting.  Well,  he decided to break things off the night before with her and so my mom scrambled to get things together.  It was a bit stressful of an event.  Rave: Got last minute tickets to our favorite comedian and had a date Friday night.  

  Questions: Anyone have recommendations for baby girl bow holders? I'm looking at one that just hangs up in her closet (from Amazon) with lots of hooks. 

  GTKY: What will your baby be wearing when they come home? Not sure! Can't decide if it'll be too hot for a sleeper or if I need a short romper or something.

  @sph97 I've only been induced and it failed so I haven't even felt labor! I'm sorry,  that sounds stressful.  Are you close to where you'll give birth? I can't believe your little one will be here soon!

  @lexilougolden I have a son so no experience with the bows but the ribbon ones that hang from a hanger look easy to DIY and fit nicely in the closet!
  We live an hour from the nearest L&D, and about 2 hours from the nearest L&D with a NICU so I’m hoping baby just stays put until about 36 weeks!

  Baby is the size of a (an):  bunch of asparagus 

  Team blue/pink/green: green

  Upcoming Appointments: 2 weeks

  How are you feeling?: Tired and somewhat cranky

  Rants/Raves: My toddler is going through some teething and he's waking up several times throughout the night. Comforting him while he's in the crib while having a 20lb kettle bell sticking out in front of me is getting harder and harder. At least I'm generally already awake because I had to get up to pee anyway. 

  Questions: none

  GTKY: What will your baby be wearing when they come home? DW and I got some cute teal athletic pants to match a little onesie for baby. We did similar with my son and we all felt cute and cozy.

  Baby is the size of a (an): Asparagus (now I want some)

  Team blue/pink/green: green

  Upcoming Appointments: nothing until next month, fingers crossed

  How are you feeling?: I'm getting annoyed a lot faster.  Spud is getting super energetic throughout the day, so that tires me out somehow, haha.

  Rants/Raves: It would be nice if my mom could just go and get her whooping cough vaccine and not complain about it.  She has asked so many people, who happen to be up to date, if they had gotten theirs.  I had to threaten to keep Spud from her because she said she was refusing to get any vaccines.  I'm not asking her to get anything and everything under the sun, but I am holding my ground on that one.

  Questions: Why am I so sweaty? (I'm pretty sure I know why)

  GTKY: What will your baby be wearing when they come home?  I don't have anything specific planned out yet, but I have some options on the baby registry I'm hoping to either order for myself or get at the shower.  There are also the option of surprise outfits I might get from friends beforehand too.
