Weeks pregnant: 35+4. 27 days TOPS to go.
Baby is the size of a: According to the ultrasound tech from Monday’s BPP, she’s super chunky. She kept talking about her chubby feet/toes.
Appointments: I had an NST on Monday that turned into 2+ hours of extra monitoring in L&D again. I have another NST tomorrow as well.
Symptoms: My hips/previous section scar areas are sore a lot. I’m still nauseous & vomiting a lot. & I swell if I walk around/am on my feet a lot.
Milestones: none that I can think of.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m working on all the baby laundry today since we finally finished A’s dresser last week. So my plan is to go down & start a load, come up & move A’s clothes in, switch laundry around, fold the two hampers that are currently in my room, put the baby’s first load away, etc. I want to have all our bags packed for my NSTs & in the back of my vehicle from here on out because I have a feeling that at some point, my extra monitoring is going to turn into an early delivery.
GTKY: I'm a cancer, but I have no idea if it fits or not. I've never looked too much into it. H will tell you it fits, though, because I'm crabby a lot.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 6 weeks tomorrow!
Baby is the size of a: between 10 and 10.5 lb, according to our fairly accurate baby scale
Appointments: I have my 6 week pp check today, L has a 2 month check up in 2 weeks
Milestones: he’s holding his head up so well and we’re getting more social smiles!
Rants/Raves/Vents: Having my mom and MIL here these past few weeks has been so so helpful but it’s also been hard to not have the house to ourselves. I feel like I haven’t gotten any time with just H (or H and baby) in so long.
GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? I’m a Libra. I guess I’m pretty fair-minded and indecisive. It also says libras are social, but I can only be social for a short period of time before I need some alone time.
He looks so big here 😭 Poof

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 38w5
Baby is the size of a: baby. Hopefully smaller than its sister 😬
Appointments: Friday - I’ll be 39w and seriously hope there is progress from my appointments/checks yesterday
Symptoms: prodromal labor hell - so no sleep and lots of contractions and back pain.
Milestones: walk of shame out of the hospital yesterday! And officially full term
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m pissed they sent me to L&D yesterday for basically nothing. And I’m mad that no one seems to take my concerns about prodromal labor+fat baby history seriously. I probably just need to accept that medically, there’s no real reason not to proceed as normal but at this point I think my nerves are just shot. I was so so tired by the time DD was born and I hate wasting leave for nothing. It blows. /vent

She was super alert for a while this morning. Still loves having her hand on face.
Poof

How old is your LO: 4 weeks tomorrow. Unbelievable. Baby size: 10lb. 2oz. and 22.5" Appointments: not till 2 months Symptoms: I had major baby blues by the end of the weekend, but catching up on sleep and having DH around has really helped Milestones: finally weighed him last week to see that he's over birth weight. A lot over. Rants/Raves/Vents: I think I need this banged into my head: Also I'm slightly annoyed that I really don't know how long he was at birth. They told us 20.5" and four days later I saw them measure him at 22"at the Peds office. :0 GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Gemini and yes very much though I put no stock in that lol

alwayscheese mine was 19” in the hospital and 18.5” 5 days later in the office🤔 i feel like the office was probably more accurate than the one they took right away after she was born but oh well eta: but 1.5” discrepancy is a little crazier than .5”

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 6 days! Baby is the size of a: 7lbs 7oz as of this past Monday Appointments: circ tomorrow, otherwise nothing till his two-week checkup Symptoms: PP hormone crash, the usual physical symptoms you’d expect the first week Milestones: sleepy gas smile, we’ve survived six days so far 😬 Rants/Raves/Vents: I know that everything can change day-to-day especially this early on, but I’m extremely thankful that the first six days with DS2 have been easier than the first six with DS1. From the outset, DS1 was a very cranky, fussy baby. Exacerbated by the insanity that is the first week as brand new parents, and DH’s panic attacks...we were a mess. This time around has been really hard, but it doesn’t feel as unmanageable as with DS1. GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Scorpio. I don’t put a ton of stock in it, but I tend to relate to some of the stereotypical traits.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 39+4
Baby is the size of a: pumpkin
Appointments: I'm at the hospital waiting to be induced, so no more appointments!!
Symptoms: pain and awkwardness
Milestones: baby's birthday will be today!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I came back to the hospital today because I just really felt like fluid was slowly leaking. They did the old school "ferning" test and found that I was right, my membranes are ruptured, and probably since Sunday night when I first noticed unusual wetness.
GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you?
Sagittarius. I had to Google to find out more but most of what I found is actually pretty accurate!

Bonus points for bump pics:) EXTRA BONUS POINTS FOR BABY PICTURES!!!! Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 1 week today! Baby is the size of a: 9 pound baby Appointments: Weight check tomorrow. At this point it is likely she is above birth weight. Symptoms: feeling great. Swelling and bleeding are down and I lost most of my fluid in night sweats the last two nights. A fitting room mirror at Target yesterday was not so kind but as long as I stay away from mirrors I am feeling really light on my feet Milestones: I have a second child. I'm still pinching myself. I just got off the phone with my IVF clinic and when they asked what the outcome of the pregnancy was, and I said "my daughter was born last week" I got goosebumps. Rants/Raves/Vents: DS has been struggling with the transition more than expected. It's been harder to deal with than the newborn. GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Cancer. I don't know actually!

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 37+4w Baby is the size of a: fully cooked baby! Appointments: BPP/NST tomorrow morning. Symptoms: actually feeling pretty good considering how close I am to the end! Milestones: hitting term Rants/Raves/Vents: I took milk bath maternity pics with a photog friend today and I’m so excited to see them! I’ll spoiler one at the end of this, it’s just one she snapped with my phone😊 GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? I’m a Leo. Some aspects fit, but I definitely am not attention seeking like they say.

How old is your LO: 4 weeks (almost a month - how?)
Baby is the size of a: we weighed him at home on Sunday and he was 8.8 lbs so still gaining weight.
Appointments: not for a bit
Symptoms: he is so gassy and has such bad reflux. DS1 never spit up and this kid spits up all the time. It’s new territory for us and I’m slightly worried about reflux / sensitivity to foods but I’ve been eating pretty plain foods. Also he has a diaper rash that won’t go away which makes me think there is some irritant somewhere.
Milestones: we’ve gotten a few 4-5 hour stretches at night but they are few and far between.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m feeling very disconnected to this baby. I feel like I bonded super quickly with DS1 and I’m just not there with this one yet and I feel guilty because of it. I’m trying to work through my feelings but I’m just very confused overall.
GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Cancer and I think mostly yes. I like to say I’m like the crab - hard on the outside and super squishy and soft on the inside 😊

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 4 weeks (1 month tomorrow...time is going by too fast) Baby is the size of a: I think he is over 10 pounds now. Appointments: my 6 week pp appointment is coming up quickly. Symptoms: tired...we have not found anything PNP, RNP, co-sleeper, etc that this baby sleeps well in except our arms and sometimes the bouncy seat. Milestones: first Easter, first 2+ hour car ride, had met both sets of grandparents now. Rants/Raves/Vents: I wish this baby would sleep somewhere other than my arms. Also, he is very gassy, which doesn’t help with sleep. GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Pisces...I had to look up information, but it appears to fit.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 4 week’s and one day. How is that possible?
Baby is the size of a: 7 lb 2 oz baby!
Appointments: not for a bit. Thankfully.
Symptoms: B is so gassy and the reflux is brutal. I went out and bought whatever I could find to help today. I’m hoping the sweet guy can get some comfort
Milestones: I updated y’all on the genetics thing so that was the big one.
Rants/Raves/Vents: DS1 is very lippy with us lately so that’s been rough. But he’s so loving towards the baby so I’ll take that. But dude. Get it together.
GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? I’m a Virgo and yes. Yes it does.
Let’s try this one... poof

polson and alwayscheese C measured 21.5” at birth and 20” at his 5 day ped appt. when I questioned it, the nurse told me that the hospital measures to the point of the toe and they measure to the heel, so that makes up for the discrepancy. I was also slightly annoyed to not actually know how tall he was at birth. I mean measuring to the point of the toe seems silly to me..

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: Two weeks old today! Baby is the size of a: 8lb 6oz as of yesterday Appointments: We has his jaundice re-check and weight re-check yesterday. His doctor was very happy with his color being back to normal and he gained 13oz which she was thrilled with, as was I. He loves to eat now that I’m exclusively pumping! Symptoms: Milestones: Surpassed his birth weight! Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m pretty happy with the fact that C is still a good sleeper. Most nights I have to wake him up to eat, even though it’s super tempting to let him sleep as long as he wants. More than 2 hours of sleep at a time sounds amazing. GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Pisces, but I’m not really sure if it fits. I don’t follow that stuff usually!

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 38+4
Baby is the size of a: baby
Appointments: No more appointments! Induction scheduled for Monday
Symptoms: I've had lots of cramping and irregular contractions this week. I have actually been working from home since Tuesday because I've been so uncomfortable. Also, tired. So very tired.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: I am really excited to meet the baby and am crossing my fingers that my induction doesn't get bumped on Monday. However, I'm also feeling fairly anxious about having a newborn again and am worried I have forgotten everything. I'm all over the place.
GTKY: what is your astrological sign? Does that fit you? Libra - I actually don't really know much about whether it fits or not
