We're supposed to move in a little over 2 weeks, I'll be ~27 weeks. Then it'll be 29 weeks when we get to new house... Which at that point, is like 8 weeks from past deliveries. Baby likes to stop moving when I'm stressed. This will be fun. 🙃

The level of unable to breathe and discomfort I feel tonight is exhausting.

The level of unable to breathe and discomfort I feel tonight is exhausting. Ditto. This is day 4 of DH being out of town for work, and I hit a wall tonight. He's back Thursday, then I have to worry for a few weeks because he had to fly. Also there was an outdoor baby shower at the park by our house this evening. The mom to be looked TINY, like I could only tell she was expecting because they had a little ribbon she was wearing. I got a lot of stares as I waddled past the party.

My H goes back to work some time in the next week or two. I was hoping to have my mom come a day or two each week to help me, but she just started a new full time job. So I'll be solo in my last four weeks with a 2.5 and 4.5 year old. I'm dreading it. Today I was completely non-functional. Like my whole body is exhausted and busted. I don't know how I'll manage without a second set of hands.

Had a growth scan today and baby looks great. Very uncooperative, as per, but he's all good. Due to covid nonsense they're back to six week spreads for scans, so I'm bowing out of additional monitoring at this point since my csection is literally six weeks from today.

Had my weekly NST today. He was very active and uncooperative as usual. But we did get his birthday picked! September 10! I'll be 38 weeks exactly and she said if close to the end that the MFM decides we need to wait until 39 weeks, we can change it. But for now our tentative date is 9/10! 😊 only 7 weeks from tomorrow 😳

I looked at the pictures from last pregnancy (when it was my first one and I took weekly pictures 😂🤣) and my belly is way bigger this time. Like I’m smuggling a basketball.
I still have energy, but by 8-9 I’m ready to crash. I’m more uncomfortable now. I do appreciate WFH so I can lay down if I start feeling like crap during the day.

I had another scan yesterday too. She's 62nd percentile, estimated 5lbs. The tech was super excited to catch her eye open, says that only happens once or twice a year for her. She also did a 4d video for me since I told her my SIL got to be the guinea pig for her doctor's new 4d ultrasound in Spain.

fem, with my last baby he had his eyes open so often. There's one where he was looking, both eyes open, at the probe and we called him terminator baby for a solid month because of it 😂

Growth scan on Tuesday. Excited to see her again and hoping she is growing normally. She's been just a tiny bit more behind each ultrasound, and with being high risk for placental and growth problems it makes me nervous.

We're under another heat advisory, I am extremely nauseous from it.
I live in Minnesota, and I want to stomp my feet and yell it's not fair that we get shitty winters and now this super hot summer too.
Also I'm 34 weeks today. 😳

Also I'm 34 weeks today. 😳 We're having a much hotter and drier summer than is normal. Plus is live in one of the snowiest cities in the country, averaging over 100" of snow a season. It's such a bummer. The heat has been killing me.

I don't want to be pregnant for another five and half weeks. It's so hard, I'm so tired 😭 Girl same. It was not this hard the last two times. When I hit 37 weeks I am doing all the pineapple core eating, exercise ball bouncing, spicy food eating I can.

When I hit 37 weeks I am doing all the pineapple core eating, exercise ball bouncing, spicy food eating I can. Hell yes, me too. GTFO baby. My other pregnancies were nowhere near this awful feeling. Granted I also didn't have a 4.5 year old, a 2.5 year with a traumic and medically needy injury, and we weren't in the thick of a pandemic. Pretty sure I'd still feel like shit with all that aside though.

I’ll probably start drinking RRL tea in a few weeks. I think last time I did 1 cup/day starting around 33-34 weeks, then upped it significantly about a week before my induction. No idea if it was a contributing factor to it being my fastest/easiest birth, but I’ll take all the help I can get! Oh yes, I meant to start pounding that stuff. I will be picking some up tomorrow. I actually really like it so now problems there for me!

I forgot about that tea! I swear I blocked so much out from the last two.
Adding it to my shopping list for tomorrow.

Pretty sure I'd still feel like shit with all that aside though. I've wondered the same, if I would be this blah if things were 'normal' (and I don't have the injured kiddo in the mix). But I think a lot of it is parenting the other two and getting older.

DH had his vasectomy consultation today. He's good to schedule it whenever.
I am very at peace with this decision.

I’ve hit pregnancy level my sports bras hurt my rib cage. Yes. I can't even sleep in my usual nursing tanks right now because the shelf bra is bothersome. I'm so uncomfortable in every possible way right now. I'm going to s chiropractor today. I've never been, I've always kind of snubbed my nose at chiropractics, but man, my SI joint needs something right now. I'm desperate.

Depending on how L&D go for me this time I might start going to the chiropractor after baby gets here. I feel ok now, but last time I was in a lot of pain after. We will hit OOP max with me this year in October so I'm planning on taking advantage.

Tonight I've had heartburn that is making me very nauseous, a dull backache and a few real feeling contractions.
I'm sure it's just uncomfortable end of pregnancy stuff, but I felt like a total newbie when I caught myself googling 'signs labor will start soon."😆
