When is your due date? How far along are you?
Due date is technically Sept 20th, but induction is scheduled for Sept 15th so that’s the new deadline! 38 weeks now, will be 39+2 at induction.

OB appt tomorrow with a cervical check. I’ll also get the details about the induction.
Symptoms:
Heartburn, Braxton Hicks that are sometimes in a vague pattern but still not painful or really building to anything. Lots more energy today and yesterday.
Milestones:
This is my last pregnant check in!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I’m worried about DH’s cold and really hoping it’s gone by the time I have this babe. Plus he’s got a busy week at work (he works for my business), it’s bad timing for him to be sick!

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/20, 38w4d
How big is baby? Winter melon / Spaghetti squash
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Blue
Any Upcoming Appointments? 39 week check-up Friday
Symptoms: Fatigue, back/hip pain, swelling in my calves/ankles/feet some days, Braxton Hicks, and I guess some not yet clearly identifiable contractions
Milestones: Nothing really.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I kept assuming everything I was feeling were just Braxton Hicks, but after my cervical check Friday I guess I'm wrong. It would explain why they've gotten so intense no matter how much water I drink (usually water keeps most BHs away for me).

When is your due date? How far along are you? Today! 40w.
How big is baby? Maybe 8lb?
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? Just had one this AM. She stripped my membranes (yowza), I’m 4-5cm and about 80% effaced. Baby is still way down there. She said I can schedule an induction for whenever and didn’t think I’d need pitocin, just breaking my water and pumping and all that. So we may set that for Wednesday, even though it technically means I can’t deliver in the birth center. Things may get rolling on their own, but I don’t really want a 9/11 birthday for her.
Symptoms: some intense but not timeable ctx, waddling, irritability, nerves. Oh and my freaking hair is already falling out! WTF body??
Milestones: Full term. And I think we’re going to name her Fi.ona.Josep.hine. Minus weird periods 😂
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I think no matter what, unless we skip the induction and I’m still pregnant Saturday, I’m going to miss DS2’s birthday party 😢 There is just no good time to have a third baby.

When is your due date? How far along are you?DD is 12 days old!
How big is baby? We got her weighed last Thursday and she was just an ounce or two less than her birth weight so I'd guess definitely over her birth weight now 🙂
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Pink
Any Upcoming Appointments? 2 week appointment on Wednesday.
Symptoms: leaky boobs and exhausted
Milestones: I was scheduled to be induced this Wednesday. It's crazy to think that DD should technically still be inside me...
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
Today is dh's first day back at work and the girls and I actually left the house. It was a 15 minute trip to the grocery store but I was proud of myself for actually going somewhere 🙂

3 weeks tomorrow
How big is baby?
I don’t know we need to weigh him tonight
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?
Any Upcoming Appointments?
Next one will be at 2 months, just had my 2 week check up to look at my incision and everything checked out
Symptoms: I stink, sore core, sore back, sore shoulders, oily
Milestones: first day without H, full disclosure DS1 went to daycare this morning so I could get some sleep. I picked DS1 with ds2 in tow and it was a lot of work just to get ds2 and me out the door, but we did it. I was sweating profusely. Tomorrow we tackle school pickup.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I ordered the infant insert to my ergo so I can babywear asap especially for pickups. Today I used the stroller and it was a big hassle. This 2 kid management thing is challenging for sure.

mirabelle I stink too! Ugh! This morning I was able to coax DD to shower with me thankfully because I couldn't handle smelling myself! DD goes to daycare tomorrow yay! On our outing today I spent way longer getting kids into/out of the car than I actually spent in the store. I also had to figure out what to do with dd2 when I unloaded the car because DD1 can't be left alone with her or she'll try to give her food, put a blanket on her head, pick her up etc. So that was interesting...

Milestones: my organic milk will expire AFTER my due date! 😱 This made me laugh because I drink normal stuff but we buy organic whole milk for DS and I'm always surprised at how long you have before it expires. |

We finally installed the car seat, I have the hospital bag packed and just need to get a couple things from our house. I was a bit optimistic when we started our Reno’s that we would be moved back in in time for this baby.

Symptoms: Reflux/heartburn, exhaustion, aches and pains.
Milestones: weekly appointments now.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I think we have a name. We narrowed it down to three options and asked DD what baby sisters name should be. For a while she said I don’t know and the finally last night we asked and she gave us an answer. Not 100% sure we will go with it but progress is progress.

How big is baby? A small pumpkin
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team Green
Any Upcoming Appointments? Chiro this morning, OB on Friday
Symptoms: Sore pelvis. Lots of downward pressure and cramping. Some BH's, but not as many as I remember having at this point with DS. Heartburn/reflux. Exhaustion. Hips ache at night. Most of baby's movements are uncomfortable cause it's so tight in there. Skin itches - hang in there skin!
Milestones: Full term. One week til EDD.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? The waiting game is hard. The emotions at the end are crazy. I'm "ready" to be done. But I'm sitting here this morning wondering if I'm gonna miss this, and feeling like I wish I'd enjoyed this time more. These could very well be the last days that I'll ever feel my own baby's kicks and have a baby on the inside.

Today was supposed to be my induction day. It's crazy I have a two week old instead of giving birth today.

When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept 10, 40w 2d
How big is baby? About the size of a small pumpkin or watermelon
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team green (can't believe we stuck with it!)
Any Upcoming Appointments? Saw the midwife today. Only at 1cm. She put in a requisition for me to go in tomorrow for cervidil. Let's get this baby out!
Symptoms: irregular contractions/back ache. Nausea, throwing up. Some heartburn, although it's been not as intense lately.
Milestones: Full term!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I've been having prodromal labour, and it is exhausting! Before this I was really wanting to avoid induction, but now I'm willing to give cervidil a try as I can't do this much longer.
