Weeks pregnant: 37+4
Baby is the size of a: honeydew melon or striped skunk. Call me crazy, but I think last week's papaya is bigger?
Appointments: I had an NST on Monday and it was touch & go: first she wasn't reactive, then she gave them peaks, then she was too reactive & kept on accelerating. I have another NST and my weekly appointment with my OB tomorrow. Basically, I have 4 NSTs and two OB appointments between now and delivery, maybe less if I go into labor on my own (YES PLEASE!)
Symptoms: I'm tired and sore. I have horrible heartburn and reflux basically all day, errryday. Cramping and occasional contractions that taper off if I time them.
Milestones: none that I can think of.
Rants/Raves/Vents: none that I can think of.
GTKY: I loved Gummi Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, the Yum Yums, and Care Bears.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 39 exactly
Baby is the size of a: fucking baby, gtfo
Appointments: Friday. If I have no baby yet and have to go to it I am going to be pissed.
Symptoms: cranky AF
Milestones: I had DD1 at 39 + 1, started having contracts the morning before. It’s hard not to compare, this time last time I was in labor. I just want to be done.
Rants/Raves/Vents: NOT A SINGLE TWINGE. Nothing is happening.
GTKY: did you have a favorite show as a child? Does the Little Mermaid count? Otherwise if it was a Nickelodeon cartoon or Full House I loved it.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 8 weeks tomorrow!
Baby is the size of a: around 11 lbs I’d guess
Appointments: 2 month appt next Tuesday
Symptoms: I’ve been super quick to lose my patience over the past week and there has been lots of tears. Poor H. Trying to take care of me and L is a lot for him, I’m sure.
Milestones: he’s gotten really good at eye tracking, started sucking on his hands (can’t tell if he’s purposely doing it or if his hands just randomly land near his mouth), lots of social smiles which definitely help when I’m teary, also starting to get some thigh rolls!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m losing my mind trying to figure out what is normal baby behavior and what I need to “fix” for lack of a better word. I felt more confident in my baby caring abilities in the first few weeks than I do now. I have no idea what I’m doing. I hear that’s normal at least.
GTKY: did you have a favorite show as a child? I loved anything on Nickelodeon. Also loved The Big Comfy Couch (I think that’s what it was called?) with the clown that does the clock arm/leg stretches and sits on that giant couch with the dust bunnies underneath it. What a ridiculous show now that I think about it. Although I guess lots of kid shows are very wtf to adults.
Poof

clementine definitely normal to feel that way... i feel that way all of the time. having done it before has made me no more confident in my abilities. it will get easier. these babies go through so many phases (good and bad). i have such a hard time being in the moment and enjoying things for what they are but that is what i am trying to do more of this time.

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 2 weeks old today Baby is the size of a: Newborn Appointments: He had a weight check on Monday and is above his birth weight now. Milestones: Circumcision is all healed and his umbilical cord stump fell off. Rants/Raves/Vents: Nothing too much to complain about. He's overall pretty easy and I'm much more relaxed this time than I've been with my other kids. GTKY: did you have a favorite show as a child? I liked all the regular shows. Cosby Show, Full House, Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Saved By the Bell, etc. Milk drunk baby and me with my 4 kids. ❤ #myheartisfull

How old is your LO: 6 weeks
Baby is the size of a: 9 or 10 lbs? Haven’t weighed him in over a week.
Appointments: I had my 6 week check up yesterday. I need to schedule his 2 month check up.
Symptoms: he has been fussy this week. Some days he is great, some not so much. I’m hoping we are at our peak of the fussiness stage and it will get better from here
Milestones: first actual smiles! We also sized up in diapers to size 1. And first trip to Disney.
Oh! And I’ve pumped and frozen almost 100 oz already in anticipation of my return to work! I’m super proud. I had supply issues with DS1 and it was so much stress to pump enough each work day for the next day so I’m planning ahead this time (and it takes the pressure off if my supply tanks again).
Rants/Raves/Vents: I don’t want to wish time away but I wish I could fast forward by like 4-6 weeks. That’s when I feel like things got better with DS1.
GTKY: did you have a favorite show as a child? I don’t remember a ton but I loved Where in the work is Carmen San Diego, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and GUTS (I so wanted to be on the last one).

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: Almost a week
Baby is the size of a: back to birth weight
Appointments: pedi next week, passed a weight check last week
Symptoms: We’re all just kind of tired.
Milestones: cord stump fell off a little too early. HORK.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I love the newborn stage. It’s so easy and snuggly. I’m having a lot of ~*~feelings~*~ about DD2 being the last baby so I’m doing exactly nothing beyond nursing, snuggling, and sleeping.
GTKY: did you have a favorite show as a child? Normal late 80s baby kid shows: Fraggle Rock, Barney, Sesame Street. Any one else remember Zoog Disney?!

Weeks pregnant or How old is your LO: 3 weeks old tomorrow Baby is the size of a: something over the nine pound mark. He’s chunking up like crazy. Appointments: Nothing till my 6-week checkup and M’s 2-month Symptoms: Me - finally starting to feel less pain around my stitches and hemis. Baby - gas, witching hour, sleep shenanigans Milestones: cord stump finally fell off, met H’s mom, my first day solo parenting Rants/Raves/Vents: It’s been a struggle to figure out solo parenting an almost-3 y/o and a baby. DS1 takes extra patience as it is, and he struggles with changes to his routine, but I keep losing my patience and snapping at him. I feel very guilty and immediately regret it, but I just don’t have the capacity to be the mom I was when it was just him, and I hate that so much. I wish we lived closer to family, that I could lean on. GTKY: did you have a favorite show as a child? Lamb Chops Playalong, anyone? And lots of classic Disney movies.

cooperation Congratulations!! You should make an AW thread and share your labor/birth story, if that’s your thing! sunshinedaisies How was Disney with two?? Our passes are up at the beginning of May so I want to try going at least once, but it’s intimidating even with the Baby Centers. We’re torn on whether to renew.
