How far along are you? EDD? 36w4d, Jan 19th (induction set for the 12th)
Team? Pink
How big is baby? No clue
Symptoms/rants/raves: I have a history of gestational hypertension so when I was feeling off a few weeks ago we started monitoring my BP. It is 150/90+ at least once a day. But all my labs and everything else is fine. The NP told me I should lay down for 15 minutes and then take it. Which I get let’s them know if your pressure is high all the time or not. But I am home with three children. I do not spend my day lying down. So now I’m reluctant to share any readings or issues with them because I feeling like they don’t care. I’ve also started to have some pitting edema in my legs. That’s cute.
Appointments or Milestones? Had an appointment today but saw the NP. And the nurse was way overly nice and walking me through every step of the appointment. I know I’m a hormonal pregnant person, but woman, 36 weeks with my fourth child. I know the drill. Leave me be. I was screaming at her in my head. I’m such a bitch.
GTKY: Best holiday gift you gave or received? It’s a toss up between the Fawn diaper bag and a new coat. Love them both! It’ll be nice when I can actually zip the coat. Lol.

Does anyone else get sent to do the GBS swab in the bathroom at the doc's office? That's what they do at the practice I go to and I think it is so weird!

How far along are you? EDD? 37 weeks, EDD 1/17, RCS 1/11
Team? Blue!
How big is baby? Striped skunk 😂 docs keep remarking how large he is though
Symptoms/rants/raves: just all of the sore. It feels like he’s clawing me where I would have period cramps so that’s cool. Also RLP especially if I’m sitting for a long time and then stand up. I’m also really tired and having trouble sleeping.
Appointments or Milestones? 37 week appointment was yesterday. Nothing to report. Didn’t even do an internal.
GTKY: Best holiday gift you gave or received? (If you celebrate). If not, what are your traditions?) I got an Apple Watch from Wife. I was shocked. I got her an iPad. Lol. All Apple over here.

36+3, EDD Jan 20th Girl Last week the doctor guessed she's about 6 lbs now, but that's obviously a very rough guess. No rants or raves. But does someone want to name this baby for us? k thanks. Weekly appointments now. And this week DD's daycare is closed, so she may have to come with me to the appointment. That could be interesting. Best gift I gave might be a marble run for DD. She looooves it. Spent at least an hour straight putting marbles down the hole. I’m also 36 weeks. Is this the week of the GBS? I can’t remember when that is. I might have to take DD with me too and DNW to have her there while I get an internal of any sorts. Yep I had mine at my last appointment! They had me do the swab myself actually so it was NBD having DD with me.

At the end of my appt my doctor explained how to do it & just told me to leave it there & she’d get it after I left.

How far along are you? EDD? 31 weeks, 2/28
Team? Pink!
How big is baby? Coconut, at ultrasound last week they said about 4 pounds
Symptoms/rants/raves: I'm having a really hard time with the GD and being on insulin. My numbers are still not controlled, so they keep upping it and it's just a pain and makes me worry about the baby and delivery.
Appointments or Milestones? I had a nutritionist appointment today, she wants me back in three weeks, but I feel like she's not that helpful. Especially since my numbers are being monitored by my endocrinologist now. And my appointments are about to ramp up a lot with weekly NSTs. It's hard to manage so many appointments with working full time and having another kid at home.
GTKY: Best holiday gift you gave or received? I love my new ugg slippers and am excited to do my heritage DNA test. I have DH a subscription to datebox, and I'm excited to see what our first date will be! DS loved all of his paw patrol stuff.

How far along are you? EDD? 33 weeks, 2/11
Team? Girl
How big is baby? No idea
Symptoms/rants/raves: Soreness, Reflux, heartburn, etc. I'm at the point at work where my answer is just gonna be "no". Nope, not doing that. Nope, not doing this. I'm done.
Appointments or Milestones? Had an appointment yesterday--everything seems to be measuring on track and baby is head down.
GTKY: I got a new apple watch, so that's nice. Need to put together kiddo's arts & crafts table.
