Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO:  38w1d

Baby is the size of a:  Pumpkin

Appointments:  Tomorrow

Symptoms:  The sinus infection is masking a lot of my pregnancy symptoms.

Milestones:  My midwife is now okay with me doing everything I can to get this baby out.

Rants/Raves/Vents:  I'm pretty sure nothing is happening. I'm probably still going to be 0 dilated tomorrow, and I'll cry.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day?
Chocolate pie.  Or tomato pie!

I make Whiskey Glazed Corned Beef, Red Cabbage Au Gratin and Parslied Potatoes every year.  It's the most delicious thing ever.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 35w5d

Baby is the size of a: toddler backpack or a pineapple

Appointments: chiro x2/OB

Symptoms: weird things are happening with my ribs which is making wearing a bra SUPER uncomfortable. And the usual: insane anxiety, hip pain, heart burn, bruised internal organs

Milestones: I thiiiiiiink the baby isn’t breech anymore. It’s moving a lot in huge ways so hopefully it’s just trying to get into a comfy head down position.

Rants/Raves/Vents: lol I’ve spent ALL THE MONEY this week on baby stuff and still have a big consignment sale coming up. Oops. At least we will never have to buy diapers again 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m working really hard to try and appreciate the last few weeks since this is my last pregnancy but I am so. Damn. Excited. I just want to know what this baby is and what it looks like. I’m ready for snuggles and that good baby smell. I have something fun-ish planned for every weekend between now and baby so that will be great for helping time move quickly.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Boysenberry or apple or blackberry/peach. DH is going to a party on Saturday and I’m trying to be nice about it but I’m really very very irritated 😑

[cp3]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 38

Baby is the size of a: ukulele/winter melon

Appointments: OB on Friday but it's with the NP I don't like so I'm not looking forward to it.

Symptoms: heartburn is back with a vengeance and so much cramping and irregular back contractions 😬

Milestones: done with work!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm done with work, have the nursery ready, all clothes washed and put away and I'm just anxiously waiting for this baby to come.

GTKY: It's Pi day!!  What's your favorite pie?  Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? I love fresh, warm apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. But now I'm craving banana cream pie bad thanks to this thread.

From Friday. By the end of the day she had dropped a little more and it was super painful to sit wearing these jeans. I'm just living in sweats and leggings until she arrives.

[cp3]

Love those sleepy smiles polson. 😍

Fx for progress tomorrow cornpop.

[cornpop]

polson your girls are so cute!

[tinyjoys]

Weeks pregnant: 32+4

Baby is the size of a: Florida pomelo

Appointments: NST & regular OB this morning. All looks well. I have an NST again on Monday & then an MFM on Wednesday next week, then probably another NST on Friday.

Symptoms: n/v, heartburn/reflux, sore hips, crap sleep, PEEING. ALL THE. TIME.

Milestones: none I can think of.

Rants/Raves/Vents:

GTKY: Either lemon meringue or apple skillet. No SPD plans.

NST Bump.

SPOILER: Click to show

[babybean]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 40+1

Baby is the size of a: red panda

Appointments: midwife tomorrow.

Symptoms: SPD, false labour, aching, bad sleep etc.

Milestones: reached due date?

Rants/Raves/Vents: my stretch marks are hurting. I was very happy with my post partum body after DS, I know that won’t be the case this time so I’m a little bummed. (Oh vanity.)

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? I don’t care for pie too much. I’ll say apple since I make it most often. No st. Patrick’s day plans, just home with the boys.

[auri]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 35+3

Baby is the size of a: mini lop rabbit/ bunch of carrots

Appointments: 3/20

Symptoms: back aches, pain under my ribs, acid reflux, vomiting. Pretty much I'm a joy to be around right now.

Milestones: 26 days until eviction day...not that I'm counting or anything

Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm pretty annoyed at my mil (I know, what else is new?). She's been telling DD since Christmas that she was going to come here for Easter...and now she's not. I didn't particularly want her here anyway, but I hate how I get to be the bad guy by having to tell DD that she's not coming.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Apple pie is my favorite...although lately I've kinda been wanting a cherry pie. I've never had cherry pie before...so I'm not quite sure why I want it now. We aren't celebrating St Patricks Day. My H does want us to go over to one of his coworkers houses to hang out and play games....but it's depending on if we can find someone to watch DD for us. His coworker is from India, so I highly doubt they would do anything either.

[clementine]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: almost 3 weeks!

Milestones: back up to birth weight as of last Friday.

Rants/Raves/Vents: L is eating nonstop today! 🐷 I’ve been trying to get a nap in but he’s only napping for like 30 min and then wants to nurse again immediately. Thankfully nursing is going much better for us. We’ve moved past using the nipple shield, but now my nips are feeling the pain.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? My moms apple cream pie.
Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? The ILs are coming for the weekend so we’ll just be hanging out at home with them.

[katietopaz]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 37w6d

Baby is the size of a: romaine lettuce, a Zack Morris phone

Appointments: checkup tomorrow

Symptoms: everything hurts and I'm dying. Pregsomnia exacerbated by the time change. My digestion is a wreck. BHs out the wazoo especially when I go from sitting/laying down to standing.

Milestones: hospital bags are packed and baby clothes are washed

Rants/Raves/Vents: Only one more week till my mom gets here. I did discover in the past couple of days that if I avoid meat, specifically chicken, my digestion is much happier and I cramp less. So that's weird, and maybe just a coincidence, but I think I'll play it safe and at least avoid chicken for the next week.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? I loooove coconut cream pie, and if it's done right, banana cream pie. But I won't turn down basically any pie you put in front of me except the ones with a lot of jam consistency.

[pearbear]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 35+2

Baby is the size of a: Bunch of carrots

Appointments: 3/19 for my first NST and check up

Symptoms: tons of BH. Standing up, sitting down, coughing, walking...everything seems to cause them now. Crappy sleep, heartburn, feeling huge.

Milestones: My induction was officially scheduled for 4/9!

Rants/Raves/Vents: I went on a shopping binge and spent over $600 on Amazon getting the rest of the stuff I had on my registry. It was actually a ton of stuff and I saved quite a bit of money with the completion discount, so that was good. I think we have everything we really need at this point.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Hmm...I like most pies, but if I had to choose one right now I'd probably go with chocolate cream. I also love St. Patrick's Day, but have no plans. I need to get a six pack of my favorite seasonal beer (Great Lakes Irish one) and save it for after baby comes.

[smilesp]

clementine I’m dying at that baby pic. So adorable!

[ArielMermaid]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO:
34 today    


Baby is the size of a:
Basketball hoop?? That seems too big.


Appointments:
Today, still measuring small enough that everyone is worried so I go back next week to figure some shit out.


Symptoms:
I'm still trying to come back to life after the food poisoning or whatever that was so at this point I'm not sure what my body is up to.


Milestones:
I'm still pregnant. That seems good right now.


Rants/Raves/Vents:
I just want to figure out this small baby thing. It is causing me so much anxiety even though I know it is normal. 


GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day?  Chocolate cream or coconut cream. I'm not huge on fruit pies.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 34+4

Baby is the size of a: cabbage

Appointments: BPP ultrasound tomorrow, NST & regular OB appt on Friday.

Symptoms: SPD, pregsomnia, exhaustion during day, heartburn.

Milestones: hoping to schedule an induction date at my appt on Friday🤞🏻

Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m feeling very unsettled, my boss won’t confirm the start of my “vacation” aka me using my PTO before baby gets here and ML officially starts, I’m not exactly sure when Baby will be born (hoping to schedule induction at my appt!!) my H’s 30th birthday is coming up but I had to cancel his surprise party because FIL was recently diagnosed with cancer and has surgery scheduled for the weekend the party was supposed to be....so much unknown and it’s about to drive me up a wall😬 thanks for letting me vent.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day?
I do not like pie😬 and no St. Patrick’s day plans. Maybe some green pancakes for DD in the morning?

[nevertoomanyshoes]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO:
38+6

Baby is the size of a: not sure! He’s around 3.2kg by growth scan estimate.

Appointments: yesterday, next Wednesday is D Day for booking induction apparently.

Symptoms: huge, hip pain, back pain, bum muscle pain, BH, general crankiness and nesting.

Milestones: I actually thought I’d go early (like too early) this time but happy to be wrong about that.

Rants/Raves/Vents: don’t want an induction. Stretch and sweep next Wednesday, hoping that gets me going before the induction (probably a few days later).

GTKY: It's Pi day! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Hmm tough one. Australia isn’t huge on pie but I love a good homemade apple pie with cream and ice cream!


Forgot my bump!

[sweetc129]

cornpop with my oldest I was 37w6d and 0cm no BH at my appointment and ended going into labor and having her less than 20hrs later.

1 week 1 day old

No sleep and recovery is slow going.

PDQ: 1st pic of our gaggle of kids:

*POOF*

[woodenshoes]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 1 week old

Baby is the size of a: He weighed 8 lbs, 13 oz. at his appointment yesterday. So he is 11 oz below birth weight.

Appointments: I had a BP check this am because my BP is still high. I have to get it checked again next week. L had a follow up next Thursday to see if he is back to his birth weight and because he is a little jaundiced, so the pediatrician wants to make sure that clears up.

Symptoms: I am not sleeping well and struggling some with PPD/PPA but I have anxiety/depression so it is something I was prepared for.

Milestones: We are all home.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am finally staring to talk to people without getting weepy. I am still struggling some with my after delivery experience (I.e. none of my family or DS got to meet L in the hospital due to him going to NICU) and trying to cope/accept that my body just doesn’t produce milk but in droplets so BF is not happening again.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? My favorite pies are apple, strawberry, and chocolate. We have no plans for St Patty’s day my H will probably want to go out to dinner so he can have a beer.

L was out like a light


DS1 really loves DS2. This is their first meeting.

[stardust84]

It has been awhile since I have posted in this thread. I have been getting to work extra early then o forget to post.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 36w

Baby is the size of a: cabbage patch doll

Appointments: today - baby is measuring big based on my growth US last week so my OB thinks I will go early. As of now he is measuring bigger than ds1 was when he was born at 38w4d

Symptoms: back pain, rib pain, major heartburn, swollen legs and feet, insomnia which has gotten a little better

Milestones: none - baby is head and and has been that way for awhile so it is unlikely that will change which is good

Rants/Raves/Vents: Nothing really.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Strawberry rhubarb and no plans for St. Patty's

[katietopaz]

Hugs woodenshoes - you've been on my mind. I'm sorry it's been such a rough road. Are you getting support from your OB as far as the PPD/A goes?

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 8 days old today!

Baby is the size of a: a small baby. But he gained another 12 g today and should be back at birth weight soon!

Appointments: we had an appt with public health today and he was a rockstar.

Symptoms: fuck these roids man. Also, pretty bad gas pains.

Milestones: today was our first full day at home and I managed to get a nap while both boys napped today. It was wonderful.

Rants/Raves/Vents: nothing really. I actually feel way better this time than I did with DS1. Like, human almost.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day?

I would do dirty, nasty things for a coconut cream pie right now. And my mom makes this pumpkin chiffon pie that is to die for. I need a snack.

[leatherpants]

That picture woodenshoes. Oh my goodness

[whatsit]

Technically it’s before midnight so I’m not late!

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 8 days

Baby is the size of a: weighed 8lb 13 oz yesterday - down 12oz from birthweight

Appointments: yesterday. She’s still a little yellow but dr said to just keep feeding her and if we’re worried, but her in the sunlight to help break up the bilirubin. Also just watching to make sure she’s back up to birthweight by next week.

Symptoms: still waiting on a stitch or two to dissolve. Ouch.

Milestones:

Rants/Raves/Vents: ILs were here yesterday and actually behaved. Didn’t mention any sensitive subjects. Good because I woulda said something not so sensitive back.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day?
Oooo. Pie. I like chocolate cream and pumpkin. Occasionally apple but depends - I like when the apples are really baked pretty mushy.

St Pats - we’ll wear green.... my sister is coming to visit and she and H will probably have a green beer. Maybe I’ll have green apple juice? (I don’t like beer).

Wait! I forgot to add my squish!

[nuggetrn]

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: one month! Although can I please wait until 9:23 to say she is a month old... Because How?!?

Baby is the size of a: she weighed 8 lbs at her weight check last week!

Appointments: nothing for a while... She has her two month appt scheduled for April and I will go.for.my 6 week checkup in about 2 weeks. I actually need to check and see if that is already scheduled or if I need to schedule it.

Symptoms: I am still in a decent amount of pain internally. Especially if I do too much. My abdominal muscles are useless and I am really surprised at how low my threshold is for "doing too much."

Milestones: I have a one month old baby...

Rants/Raves/Vents: So after having a talk with her last week about how nighttime is for sleeping 😉 Baby has decided that she will give me one 5 hour stretch of sleep at night. She has been doing that consistently for like a week now. It has been pretty nice.

GTKY: It's Pi day!! What's your favorite pie? Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Pumpkin pie. Yum. And no plans for St. Patrick's Day.

We got our pictures of her from the hospital. She's so sweet and small. 😍 The other two are from last night and I'm a #meanmom because she was crying and here I am just taking a photo. Lol. But it's the first time in one of those gowns and she was just so cute. A lady at church handmade a few of those for us and the little sleeves are adorable! Second picture to prove she was happy again, cuddled up next to me while I pumped.

[alwayscheese]

How old is your LO: at noon today he will be 1 week.

Baby is the size of a: somewhere between 8 and 9 lbs. Monday he was down to 8-2, but I weighed holding him yesterday and I'm quite sure he's up from that.

Appointments: Monday at the Peds

Symptoms: those stiches 😒 also when will I not have to pee so terrible much??.??@

Milestones: a week old, first day that we don't have to go back in to the hospital or lab with him!! We still haven't gotten the results from yesterday's bilirubin test so I'm assuming no news is good news and we're over the hump.

Rants/Raves/Vents:
Yesterday was my due date, was not expecting to be where we are now. I told people I didn't expect him to come before St Patrick's Day!

GTKY: It's Pi day!!  What's your favorite pie?  Or, do you have any plans for St. Patrick's day? Pry coconut cream. Cream pies and fresh fruit pies are so good!!! Baked fruit pies are good on occasion. MIL had a recipe we make for "dreamy high pumpkin pie" that's really good but I like regular pumpkin pie at least once a year. Also pecan pie! 😍

[dizzycooks]

polson she’s adorable! And I promise outings become no big thing. Good for you for trying it!
woodenshoes he’s so cute
