3lb 12 ounces
Boy/Girl/Surprise?
Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments?
Tomorrow - meeting my new OB so I can deliver at a hospital with a higher level NICU.

Feeling tired, large was up so frequently the other night to pee. I literally slept in 1 hour increments it was horrible
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? 1 more day until I hit 31 weeks. It is such a weird place to be. I think when I am 32 weeks next week I will start to feel good about being beyond my milestone of when DS was born. Right now I am just re-living that situation since that is all I can think about.
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why?
I love Xmas time. I've always loved it and I love it even more having DS be such a fun age for all of the fun and festivities. Creating our own new traditions and enjoying the "magic" of the season!

GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why?
I love the time leading up to Christmas and all the holiday activities that go with it, but for the actual day itself, I prefer Thanksgiving at my ILs. There’s a ton of great food and we drink a lot and play games. When it gets dark, we hang out by the fire pit with mulled wine and roast marshmallows. I think we are done traveling to my parents for holidays. I love them, but my family relationships are strained, it’s a long drive, and I’m over it.

GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why? I love Christmas, especially with a kid. It's so fun to see how excited DS gets. And, I'll be drinking a glass of wine at Christmas, which right now is reason to celebrate in itself.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 12/7, 33+3
How big is baby? Huge, probably over 6 pounds already according to US last week
Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Friday OB
Symptoms? Exhaustion, contractions, so. much. show, cranky as hell
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I really don’t think I’ll actually go into labor on my own like I didn’t with my other two, but damn my body is really trolling me this time. I don’t think my contractions started this early with either of them and I have never experienced the awfully named bloody show before until now either. Just make up your mind body, please.
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why?
I love everything from Halloween to New Years. The decorating and weather are the best. I went all out with the decorating before I even had kids, but seeing how excited they are makes it all the more worthwhile.

How big is baby?
The size of a Chihuahua.
Boy/Girl/Surprise?
Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments?
I have appointments every Wednesday until she comes.
Symptoms?
BH, tired, sore..blah, blah, blah...
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?
I got a call back today from my Dr and they said my GSB test came back positive, which I've never experienced in my other 3 pregnancies. I'm also allergic to penicillin so they said they are testing to see what to do and will let me know? Idk. I'm also just done at this point and I may be experiencing some higher anxiety than my normal. I want her out and I never want to be pregnant again.
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why?
Holidays are life in our house haha. Halloween because it's just so much fun with the kids. Thanksgiving because food (and I always get to see my brother and his wife) and Christmas because it's Christmas and I'm the opposite of Scrooge. Haha. I don't know that I want to pick between them but if I had to I'd go with Christmas.

When is your due date? How far along are you? November 8th, 37w4d
How big is baby? half a medium pizza
Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Just had my weekly appointment today - I actually had to call and request it extra because the initial scheduler didn't have me on until next Tuesday (3 weeks from my previous appt)...I'm glad I did because some BP issues came up.
Symptoms? I'm so uncomfortable and tired. Rolling over in bed continues to be the worst and getting more painful every night. I am so ready to be done at this point.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? So my BP is officially "high" at this point, but still just trace proteins in my urine which could be due to dehydration. I'm going to monitor my own BP for the next couple of days and call if I get any additional high readings. If I do, I think they'll put me on antihypertensives to get me to 39 weeks. They also drew some bloodwork today for baseline values in case my BP continues to climb. I'm really hoping to just be induced at 39 weeks at this point, but they made no mention of an actual induction date at my appointment. I have a growth ultrasound on Friday (since my fluid levels have been high) and then next appt on Tuesday the 30th. We shall see what happens...
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why? I love Christmas so much. All the magic, cheer, decorations, weather, parties. Everything about it is the best and I start my celebrating the day after thanksgiving without fail. It just makes me so happy inside!

How big is baby? Eukulele
Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? I’m scheduled for induction in a little less than 48 hours!
Symptoms? Lots of contractions all the time. So uncomfortable. Swelling.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My 3-year-old’s emotions are so crazy right now. I’m afraid we’ll be dealing with him having behavioral issues at preschool once the baby comes.
Last night I had a dream I could move around like a normal person again. It was great.
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why? Thanksgiving! My favorite foods, hard cider, just a wonderful day with my family & none of the Christmas stress. (I love Xmas too, though).

When is your due date? How far along are you? 11/20. 36 weeks
How big is baby? According to my ultrasound last Friday, 6lb 6oz. Or, a cabbage patch kid or a chihuahua.
Boy/Girl/Surprise? Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments? 36w appt is this afternoon. I’m on the weekly schedule now
Symptoms? Waddle, peeing every 5 minutes, maybe a few contractions, feet and hands are a little swollen.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I was up in the middle of the night the other night and worked myself into a panic because I had a few itches and convinced myself it might be cholestasis. It was fine by the next morning. It wasn’t even my hands and feet that were itching.
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why? Christmas. Not even the gift giving aspect, but just spending time with family, it’s cozy, the decorations are pretty, it feels festive. It’s definitely fun with young kids in the family!

I had an itchy scalp at first this time. With my first who I lost late term (and which I now suspect was due to undiagnosed cholestasis) I had an itchy belly.

Not trying to freak you out - statistically it's unlikely you have it - but after my experience I'm all about encouraging people to get the lab work done if they are at all suspicious. |

When is your due date? How far along are you? I’ll be induced around 11/9 I’m 36+3
How big is baby? Huge, growth ultrasound yesterday put him at 8 lbs 6 oz right now.
Boy/Girl/Surprise? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday for my weekly NST
Symptoms? Soooo uncomfortable and I am getting so tired of not having normal poop it’s either at one end of the spectrum or the other. Also, my hips huuurt.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? OB’s really wanted to start checking my cervix this week but the one I saw yesterday didn’t mention it and seemed really rushed and I wasn’t about to remind them. So, yay for getting another week free of a cervix check!
GTKY: What’s your favorite holiday and why? I usually love Halloween and decorating the house with spider webs, witches, giant spiders etc. we also hand out full sized candy usually so the kids all really like our house too. This year we aren’t doing anything though because I am just not feeling it and taking down the decorations etc potentially with a newborn at home is just too much of a hassle.

SayitaintSnow I’m glad you followed your instincts and got tested. I’m sorry for your prior loss. I remember having really itchy palms in the third tri of my pregnancy with DS1 but I never mentioned it to anyone because I didn’t know cholestasis was a thing.
