Symptoms: Still kind of sore, but over all feel pretty good. I can’t sleep on my side or flat, though, so that’s kind of annoying. 5. What/when is your next appointment?

1. Or how old is baby? 2 weeks old! 2. How big is baby? We had weight check today and she is past birth weight (6lbs7oz) and up to 7lbs 1.5oz which is 11 Oz more than she was 9 days ago. 3. Team: pink 4. Symptoms: tired  I have been healing well from c/s and thought i was pretty much all good until today. Started having some abdomen pain on my right side...feels like a muscle thing so I’m thinking i either over did it and my muscles are sore or things are just trying to get back in place 5. What/when is your next appointment? Mine is at my 6 weeks PP. Her next appt is her 1 month well check in 2 weeks (which i need to make. Tried to make it today but the girl at Dr was taking forever and E was losing her shit so i was like nm, I gotta go I will just call). 6. Questions / concerns / rants: I was so happy she gained more than the recommended 1oz a day since she nurses so fast. I was worried she wasn’t nursing long enough but seems she gets plenty. She typically nurses on one side only each feed and takes her usually about 7-8 minutes for a full feed. Although today she finally relieved my right boob which was getting very engorged and on verge of a plugged duct and nursed it today for 18 minutes. 7. GTKY: What is your favorite chore? Least favorite? Favorite: laundry (just not the putting away part) Least: cleaning bathrooms which is why I pay a house cleaner to come once a month. 8. Show us that bump/baby! |

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby?
38 weeks, 6 days
2. How big is baby?
Big.
3. Team:
Blue
4. Symptoms:
End of pregnancy normal symptoms. Went to hospital a few nights ago with contractions that never went anywhere and now it quieted down a ton.
5. What/when is your next appointment? Next Tuesday.
6. Questions / concerns / rants:
Just excited to meet this guy, cherishing the last time I'll be pregnant. Mini rant that my husband seems to have developed a "cold" in the last day. I think it is more allergies because the pollen levels are very high here. I know it sucks but I am in labor limbo and really don't feel like feeling too bad for him. I hope he tries Claritin today so I don't have to hear about how he's coming down with something and isn't feeling well enough to do much.
7. What is your favorite chore? Least favorite?
I don't mind folding laundry. I hate the dishes.

1. 38 + 2 due 5/22
2. Watermelon?
3. Boy!
4. I don’t feel horrible! He dropped a bit so I can finally breathe and sleep better.
5. 39 week appointment on Monday with my OB. I haven’t seen her in quite a while so I’m excited to hopefully end this with her! Fun fact- my water broke during my 39 week check with my DD!
6. I am getting very anxious about labor. I didn’t get to actually go into labor with DD. My type A is struggling with it, a lot.
7. I love vacuuming. I loathe cleaning the bathrooms. Hiring a cleaner has been ahhhmazing.

1. How far along are you? 35w
2. How big is baby? mini lop rabbit
3. Team: green
4. Symptoms: heartburn, hip pain
5. What/when is your next appointment? Next week GBS test and growth U/S
6. Questions / concerns / rants: DS#2's birthday party is Saturday so I was in a good mood, but now MIL is going out of town so I have no child-free time to look forward to next week. She is supposed to watch them twice a week for a couple hours, but constantly has other plans and needs to cancel. It makes me upset because it's hard to work from home while watching the kids 24/7.
7. GTKY: What is your favorite chore? Least favorite? I don't mind most chores as long as I feel like I'm not the only family member contributing. I despise cleaning bathrooms and ovens.

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 38wks, 7 days 2. How big is baby? A cake, a ukelele, a pomeranian, a spaghetti squash. Or, if you ask my doctor, approximately 7.5 pounds. 3. Team: Blue 4. Symptoms: Everything. 5. What/when is your next appointment? I had one today. 2cm dilated and cervix is very soft and thin. I've been having a lot of (inconsistent) contractions. She seems pretty positive I won't be pregnant by my appointment next Wednesday. But if I am she will strip my membranes and talk induction since they don't really want me going over my EDD of 5/18. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: Knowing I've made some progress has relieved my anxiety a bit. But also made me realize omg baby is coming soon and that means DD won't be only soon. So today I took her to lunch and now we are baking some cupcakes. I'm hoping she will let me put her to bed tonight instead of her dad but it's not likely. 7. GTKY: What is your favorite chore? Least favorite? I don't mind folding laundry, or doing dishes. I hate hate hate cleaning the tub and floors. |

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 36w 2. How big is baby? 6lbs 4oz from U/S 3. Team: 💓 4. Symptoms: sciatica is back with a vengeance, lol. Heartburn is terrible, I need to take my medication twice a day rather than just at night. Both hips are about to collapse, so walking is fun. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Tuesday 5/15 6. Questions / concerns / rants: had good news at the specialist last week regarding the baby’s kidneys, so I feel good about everything this week. My BP is high but steady so right now I am induced around 38 weeks but might make it to 39 weeks. Big difference from my first pregnancy ! 7. GTKY: What is your favorite chore? Least favorite? I like to organize things, I don’t mind laundry at all. No thank you to doing the dishes or cleaning the bathrooms. Good thing we have had a housekeeper for years ! 8. Show us that bump/baby! |

2. How big is baby? According to yesterday’s growth scan, 7lb 3 oz
3. Team: Blue 💙
4. Symptoms: So much swelling in my feet, headaches, BH and my back is generally killing me

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby?2 days old
2. How big is baby? Almost 9lbs
3. Team: blue
4. Symptoms: Had RCS so I have all of the post surgery pains
5. What/when is your next appointment? Still st the hospital
6. Questions / concerns / rants:
- I have gas bubbles trapped in my body from the surgery. It’s giving me excruciating pain in my right shoulder. Last night, the baby slept except for a MOTN feeding and meanwhile I’m pacing the hallways every 2-3 hours trying to get relief for my shoulder (it acts up if I’m in bed)
- Baby is sleeping for long stretches which would be great but I’m in limbo on whether to pump or not (e.g., they brought him from the nursery around five, he latched and passed right out, I could not get him awake). I figured that he would be back within a half hour but it’s seven now and he’s still sleeping... had I known, I would have pumped). My first kid was hungry every two hours at the hospital and couldn’t get enough.
7. GTKY: What is your favorite chore? Least favorite? I guess lately it’s been purging of things. Least would be grocery shopping.

tinydancer I love so much how in the corner of your selfie there is a warning on the mirror to turn off your cell phone. It made me giggle more than it should - I really don’t know why this is so funny to me.

The docs keep you waiting so long sometimes I'm not sure what they expect you to do without a phone. |

I have been healing well from c/s and thought i was pretty much all good until today. Started having some abdomen pain on my right side...feels like a muscle thing so I’m thinking i either over did it and my muscles are sore or things are just trying to get back in place
