itsmemeg, I love that the ring, your shirt, and your icon all match in your post. Haha I apparently have a thing for greens/blues.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 37 weeks, 5/8 2. How big is baby? Large 3. Team: Pink 4. Symptoms: Hip pain, exhaustion, back pain. All of the things. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Tuesday, 38 weeks 6. Questions / concerns / rants: We need to kick it in gear and get everything ready. We also need to finalize birth/visiting wishes and have the appropriate conversations with family. 7. GTKY: What is the best Mother’s Day gift you’re received? What are you hoping/asking for this Mother’s Day?? I got a necklace one year from my husband. I usually have to spend Mother’s Day with my ILs, and this year I am saying no and just staying home with my little family. 8. Show us that bump! I realized I was wearing the same dress today as I was in my 37 week pic with DS. So here’s a comparison photo. DS is on the left/babes on the right

1. How far along are you? EDD? 35 weeks, 5/24 2. How big is baby? coconut 3. Team: Pink 4. Symptoms: tired, acid reflux, feel full after 5 minutes of eating 5. What/when is your next appointment? had one this morning, baby looks good and is measuring perfectly. 37 week checkup, group b strep 2 weeks from today 6. Questions / concerns / rants: my mom decided to book a ticket out here on 5/21 because my cousin is getting married on 5/19 and she wants to go to see family (and my brother will be traveling to her for the wedding and she wants to see him/his fiancée too). she keeps mentioned she is going to be so disappointed if the baby comes before that. Dude, not my problem. I told you that you could come anytime, don't bitch to me if you miss the birth because you are trying to have your cake and eat it too. 7. GTKY: What is the best Mother’s Day gift you’re received? What are you hoping/asking for this Mother’s Day?? I'm a FTM so I've never received a mother's day gift. I asked H for a ring with her first initial either as a mother's day present (even though she won't be here) or a present once she is here 8. Show us that bump! Attachment Deleted

1. 30 weeks
2. 3 lbs cabbage
3. Pink
4. Symptoms - emotional, sore belly, vomiting and nausea, high BP
5. Tomorrow for second round of steroid shots.
6. As of my appt today I’m on bedrest with pre-e. Got steroid shots today for her lungs and will get another round tomorrow after my progesterone shot. I’m terrified of having another baby in the NICU. I’m worried how we are going to make it without my income. We basically live off mine since H owns his own business. He’s not got a lot of work right now. I’ve had a hell of a day. Emotionally spent.
7. I’ve gotten flowers once. H isn’t great about gift giving.

shortskirtlongjacket I’m sorry to hear about the bad pre-e and the likelihood of an early delivery. I hate that we live in a society with so little support for pregnant and post partum women and that we have to weigh our health against a paycheck. It shouldn’t be something you need to even think about right now, and I’m sorry it’s adding to your stress. I hope your symptoms stabilize and baby can stay in a while longer.

shortskirtlongjacket, I am so sorry you are on bed rest with pre-e, I hope baby can stay put another few weeks to get stronger and spend as little time (if any) in NICU.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 33w, 1d. 6/6 2. How big is baby? Melon 3. Team: Pink 4. Symptoms: Sore, tired 5. What/when is your next appointment? Next Thursday, 35w. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: I feel totally unprepared for the baby. Have done basically nothing. Help! 7. GTKY: What is the best Mother’s Day gift you’re received? What are you hoping/asking for this Mother’s Day?? kookie3631, MH and toddler actually have a mother's day notebook where they write me notes too! I hope he can find it for this year, we still haven't unpacked all of our books. I booked a mini photo session for Mother's Day shots. I didn't necessarily want maternity photos but I thought it might be nice to have some photos of me pregnant, since this might be our last. 8. Show us that bump!

1. How far along are you? EDD? 36 weeks, RCS May 10 2. How big is baby? Bigger than a pineapple 3. Team: blue 4. Symptoms: Constant BH, I guess officially reflux since now the burning in my throat and feeling like something is lodged goes from lunch until 7 AM. Insomnia!!! 5. What/when is your next appointment? Had one today. NST, got bloodwork. I expressed anxiety about cord issues since DS1 had scary decelerations when I was in labor. She said that everything looked good with the NST so I was surprised when she called me on the phone while I was getting bloodwork and called me back for an U/S because it was on her mind now too. I thought she meant to come back and schedule it for next week so I scheduled it and left and then they called me back to have it done after I was 10 min away. I feel like an idiot since they made room for me on the schedule but with a good NST, I thought that they meant the following week. Everything looks good for now. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: Work is really busy for me for the next 2 weeks. No coasting to the end. I need to make sure that I take care of myself and that work doesn’t take over. I hope that I don’t work over the next two weekends. I’m a bit resentful because I want to savor these last few weeks with DS but instead, I’m picking him up from daycare late every day I started to get a few things ready for this baby a few weeks ago but we’ve had busy weekends and now I feel behind again. Not that I have a ton to do but packing a bag might be a good idea. I’m trying to rest a lot on the weekends and feel like I have to pick either resting/ spending quality time with DS/ prepping for the baby or organizing the house but there isn’t enough time for all 7. GTKY: What is the best Mother’s Day gift you’re received? What are you hoping/asking for this Mother’s Day?? I know that this is everyone’s wish but given all of my anxiety, I just want a healthy baby. After that, then a good sleeper and I would be thrilled. This year will be a big anniversary for us but I doubt that DH will do much for mother’s day or for our anniversary. I guess that maybe I can leverage Mother’s Day to get him to finish cleaning part of our basement that I’ve been trying to clean up to be a gym. We just need to clear the clutter, rearrange furniture and mount a big screen TV since I just need space to do online workouts. When it comes to organizing stuff, I have to do it myself or else it doesn’t get done right and I don’t want to over exert myself this late in pregnancy.

shortskirtlongjacket I'm sorry you're on bedrest and having to worry financially. But I'm glad the dr is paying close attention to your symptoms for pre-e. Here's hoping that you don't have a NICU stay or have to be delivered too early.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. I’m hoping tomorrow will be a better day and I can look at everything with a clear head. Yesterday was very emotional.

1. How far along are you? EDD? 33 weeks 1 day
2. How big is baby? Size of a Pineapple
3. Team: Pink
4. Symptoms: Heartburn, Pelvic Pain, Fatigue, etc...
5. What/when is your next appointment? Week from Thursday.
6. Questions / concerns / rants: I want to nest and feel so behind in preparing for this baby. It doesn’t help that my H agreed that my MIL could come for an impromptu visit when the house is in no state to have overnight guests. I realistically know everything will get done but my anxiety keeps trying to tell me otherwise.
7. GTKY: What is the best Mother’s Day gift you’re received? What are you hoping/asking for this Mother’s Day?? I don’t even remember what my H has done in the past. I know there cards but I don’t remember anything else. My H is not a gift giver so I never expect much. I’m happy to be able to sleep in and have some time for just me.
