1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 37 weeks, 1 day 2. How big is baby? A skunk! 3. Team: Pink 4. Symptoms: Exhausted, pain 5. What/when is your next appointment? Tomorrow for my 37 week. Another BPP ultrasound and getting my pump. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: Just so ready to get her out in the world. The next two weeks are going to drag.

Ooooh, like favorite from grocery stores would be waffle cone crunch.

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 39wks, 5d 2. How big is baby? Shorthair Cat / Watermelon / Mini Skateboard 3. Team: Blue 4. Symptoms: I'm just...done. Uncomfortable, cranky, etc. 5. What/when is your next appointment? I had one today, which I posted about in Randoms already. She did a membrane sweep. Next appointment is next Thursday and we will set an induction date, likely for the next day, if he hasn't shown up by then. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: Has anyone else had a membrane sweep and had it start labor? So far I've had a lot of pressure down there and period like cramps but that's it... 7. GTKY: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Do you have a special ice cream place you go to in the summer? I love Cookies N Cream. And also just plain vanilla with hot fudge. We have a local place that is awesome and delicious. We go there a few times a month. 8. Show us that bump/baby! Last weekend when we took a cruise out to the coast in my new car. |

1. How old is baby? She’s two weeks yesterday. 2. How big is baby? We had a weight check today & she only gained a half ounce since last week. She also grew an inch. She’s still above birth weight & our ped has no concerns. We are doing another weight check next week at the toddler’s 3 year well visit, though. 4. Symptoms: I’ve had a headache today. I think hormonal, since it feels like the headaches I get around the start of my period/ovulation. But annoying nonetheless. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Weight check for the babe next week, then her one month appointment somewhere around 6/1. I don’t go back to the OB until... 6/12, I think? 6. Questions / concerns / rants: None I can think of. 7. GTKY: There’s a local place that makes all their own ice creams & has fun flavors, like rice krispy treat or salty jack (basically Cracker Jack ice cream). It’s my favorite to go to for those two flavors alone. Or we have a couple frozen custard places that we frequent for twists. 8. Show us that baby! Proud big siblings.  That exclusive pump life with a babe that doesn’t like to be put down.  Ignore the screaming baby. I got her right after I took this. But her furry big sister takes her watch dog status seriously.  |

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 33w4d. 6 weeks or less and he's going to be here O.O 2. How big is baby? Ferret 3. Team: Blue 4. Symptoms: Heartburn, headache, everything in my back hurts, baby brain (I literally just had an egg explode because I forgot I was cooking it. I now have egg on my ceiling) 5. What/when is your next appointment? Friday, OB 6. Questions / concerns / rants: Nothing today 7. GTKY: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Do you have a special ice cream place you go to in the summer? I'm all about the peanut butter and chocolate. My favorite has to be moose tracks, or there's one that's a chocolate peanut butter fudge swirl that's sooooo good. There's lots of ice cream stands close by to my house, but the one I prefer to go to is a little further away. They always give just a little bit more ice cream for the money. 8. Show us that bump/baby! I swear there's a baby in here lol {Spoiler}  |

Probably about 8.5 lbs
3. Team:
Blue

Lots of engorgement, still a lot of pain if I do too much, which is everyday.

Soft serve vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. We have a local place that we love and frequent.

lovealwaysalison, with my first I had a membrane sweep done on a Friday and had a baby in my arms by 5pm on Sunday. It could have been coincidence but I hadn't had a single contraction and wasn't showing any signs of labor before then.

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 38w 5/31 2. How big is baby? yukelele or spaghetti squash 3. Team: pink 4. Symptoms: all of them. Heartburn, hip pain, tailbone pain, back pain, swollen. So tired. 5. What/when is your next appointment? Sitting in the waiting room at the MW’s right now. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: my stomach is acting up and I was hoping it was an early labor sign but I don’t think so. 7. GTKY: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Do you have a special ice cream place you go to in the summer? I don’t like chocolate ice cream but I love most vanilla flavors with tasty bits in them. Cookie dough is a fav. There’s this ice cream place I love in CA where they go to the farmer’s markets and just buy whatever is fresh and make crazy flavors. Like lavender chocolate chip. The line is always down the block when it’s warm. They’re also opening a customized ice cream sandwich place across the street from my MW’s this weekend. I’m excite. I might have to go after my appointment next week. 8. Show us that bump/baby!  |

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? 34 + 2 2. How big is baby? According to Ovia, about the size of a quokka? 3. Team: Pink! 4. Symptoms: Achy hips, pregsomnia, ravenous hunger, heartburn 5. What/when is your next appointment? 35 week appointment next Thursday 6. Questions / concerns / rants: The discharge, oh lord the discharge. Why are pregnant bodies so gross? 7. GTKY: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Do you have a special ice cream place you go to in the summer? Emack & Bolio's "Grasshopper Pie!" It's creme de menthe ice cream with chocolate chips and Oreo bits. So, so good. I also love Publix brand Peppermint ice cream, which is only available seasonally. There are a lot of great ice cream places in my town, but they're all unnecessarily fancy and expensive! I usually end up going with store bought.  8. Show us that bump/baby! I am always really bad with photo uploads, but this is basically what I look like right now:  |

1. How far along are you? Or how old is baby? Baby was one month yesterday! 2. How big is baby? Left the hospital at 5lbs 10 oz...so 2 lbs over birth weight. 3. Team: girl 4. Symptoms:I'm just tired and a little anxious. I felt like a brand new mom last night watching her sleep next to our bed. 5. What/when is your next appointment? My 6 week check up is on may 30th. We have Harper's first appointment with the pedi next Wednesday. 6. Questions / concerns / rants: We're just very excited to be home. It also feels a little weird to have her home. It's like I have to remember what to do with a newborn. She still does a lot of sleeping like she was just born. Which is good because I have to get a hold of our photographer so we can do "newborn" pictures in the next week or so. 7. GTKY: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Do you have a special ice cream place you go to in the summer? I'm not a big fan of chocolate but love vanilla with different stuff mixed in. There's a place in my home town that we go to whenever we're home. They have a different flavor every week. My favorite is Honeymoon. I don't know how to describe it but it's so good! 8.
