When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? DD is 12/5. RCS on 11/29. 35 weeks.
How big is baby? Like, big.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy.
Any Upcoming Appointments? 11/8 is the start of my weekly appointments
Symptoms: BH contractions, sore back, peeing all the time, oh and BH contractions that make me pee, acid reflux, trouble breathing.
Milestones: Every week I make it closer feels like a milestone, lol.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My back issues are realllllly bad. Like by the end of the day the tension in my shoulders and upper back is almost unbearable. My left shoulder and left side are sometimes so bad that I can't even lay on that side. My H and Mom have been giving me back rubs every night and lathering me up in Icy Hot.
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? Rock-N-Play of course. Smaller stuff......The Kiinde Kozii milk warmer, Halo sleep sacks and swaddles, Aden & Anais swaddle blankets, and the snot sucker.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 37+3 today and I’ll be induced around 11/9
How big is baby? Giant or a watermelon... a really big one
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Thursday for my NST
Symptoms: My hips are killing me at night and it’s getting so hard to sleep. Also, I have been having bouts of insomnia so that has been fun.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I had to wait an hour and 15 minutes to be seen by an OB after my BPP yesterday. They made me get undressed from the waist down yesterday to check my cervix then the OB came in without my chart (and it didn’t seem like she had reviewed it either) and said that I didn’t need to get my cervix checked because I wasn’t having active contractions. I was super pissed after the appt because it was clear that she was in a rush and behind and just didn’t want to have an actual appt with me.
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? This is hard. It’s either my ring slings, the Wubbanubs, or zip up swaddlers. I honestly couldn’t chose because I need them all in those early months.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 11/13; 38 weeks
How big is baby? A “small” watermelon
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? Weekly check on Thursday
Symptoms: Contractions, back pain, exhausted
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I decided to give breastfeeding a try again, but I’ve completely released any guilt if it doesn’t work out, and plan to supplement with formula from the start. I feel much more positive going in this time.
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? Tie between Swaddle Me swaddles and the Mamaroo. DS would stay in the Mamaroo forever and those swaddle blankets helped him sleep longer.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? RCS 12/19, 32 weeks!
How big is baby? Plastic Scooter Board
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girllll
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next Friday. This is the longest stretch without an appointment I've had for a while and will definitely be the longest stretch for the rest of the pregnancy. After next week's appointment, I go in for weekly NSTs.
Symptoms: Sensitive to smells, tired, large.
Milestones: 32 weeks!! It is such a huge milestone for me. 1 full week after I had DS. It feels good and every week beyond just feels like a new milestone.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Just happy to be here at 32 weeks and hoping this baby keeps cooking uneventfully. I just booked DS 5th birthday party a few weeks early. Nov 24th. I'll be 36 weeks. Hopefully I am still around and able to make this happen for him.
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? With DS it was his bouncer. That thing was a life saver.

Dr. Cox I am with you on BF - if it doesn't work out this time I will not feel the guilt like I did as a FTM. I look at my healthy and thriving 3 YO and it's all I need. I have formula on hand too, my biggest worry at the outset is that my milk won't come in quick enough like last time and I will have a miserable and very hungry baby.

Rock n play, wubbanubs, sleep sacks, basically anything that has helped my kids sleep. [/quote]

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12; 33+6.
How big is baby? I dunno. OB says he’s measuring perfectly, though.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy.
Any Upcoming Appointments? Had a regular check-up today. All is well. I have the hospital check-in on Friday to do all the paperwork that I won’t want to do once in labor.
Symptoms: OB confirmed sciatica issues at today’s appointment. She suggested some stretches and, well, giving birth. lol. My foot has actually started to tingle now, so that’s super awesome and pleasant.
Milestones: N/A
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? My butt hurts.
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? Swing. DD gave us four hour stretches of sleep in that thing for four months. I’ll forever treasure it. I also put it back together last night and had all the feels. DD was rocking her (lovey / stuffed) Kitty in it, too, and that brought on more feels.
ETA: Also love me some Wubanubbs and SwaddleMe swaddles. Game. Changers. And the snot sucker. Screw those bulb things.

How big is baby? A bunch of carrots
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? My OB kept me on weeklies after the bad blood pressure appointment, so back on Thursday again for another belly/BP check.
Symptoms: I've had a cold, and it's reallllllly hard not to pee myself sometimes when a coughing fit comes on. Thank goodness for liners. Otherwise, just feeling huge and tired.
Milestones: I'm really looking forward to Thursday and being able to say "I'm having a baby this month."
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Seeing the new babies on this board the last week or so are making me really, really, REALLY ready to meet mine!
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? The rock 'n play and Halo sleep sacks were probably our most used items from DS. And the Fisher Price sit me up seat.

quijibo I totally forgot about the Nose Frida! That is a must have for sure. It’s oddly satisfying. Also super amusing to use in front of people with sensitive gag reflexes.

how old is baby? 5 days old!
How big is baby? Somewhere around 8 lbs.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments? The baby’s first pedi appt is today.
Symptoms: sore, engorged, etc. Also super weepy... I kept falling apart yesterday.
Milestones: Birth! Ha.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Yesterday DS1 said “mommy, why is your tummy still out?” I cried. I also feel so... emotional over him not being my only child anymore.
Also, I can’t wait for the umbilical stump to fall off. I hate that thing; I’m always afraid I’m going to bump it too hard.
GTKY: What is your favorite baby gear item? I think I’m the only one without a R&P! I loved my carriers, the nose frida, the sit-me-up.
I got a Lou Lou & Company swaddle blanket this time that I love so much more than any swaddles I used for DS1. Everyone at the hospital commented on how soft it is.

charlotte I put DD in one of those sleepers with an open bottom and elastic. Changed her diaper, wasn’t paying attention, and the elastic caught her stump. Off it came! All was fine but it went from a milestone to a super anticlimactic oops.
