Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Friday is my weekly check-in with the OB. I was going to bring DS so he could hear the heartbeat, but I'm debating whether that's a good idea since my last OB appointment ended in a trip to labor and delivery. I might keep my mom on standby to watch him for me while I go, and just judge on what my BP is that morning.

Symptoms: Lots and lots of swelling, blood pressure going up and down still, lots of BH contractions, everything hurts and I'm constantly peeing.

Milestones: I'm very excited to hit 37 weeks tomorrow. This game my BP has been playing is making me anxious, and I want to get to the point where at least if my OB says it's time to get baby, I can feel good about hitting that milestone.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I've spent this week trying to get everything tied up at work in case maternity leave stats sooner than anticipated; and even if it doesn't, really I only have about a week and a half left to go anyway. It feels good to check things off that list. And the only big thing left to do at home is to figure out what needs to get packed for the hospital for H and I.

GTKY: What are 5 movies you would take with you on a deserted island if you were stuck there for life? I really can't think of a good list right now... Love Actually would make it, so would at least one or two of the Harry Potter movies. I might come back to this if I think of any.

How big is baby? The size of a baby. Or a ukulele, or a Pomeranian.


Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl


Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Had one today. Everything’s fine, my BP is creeping up a little but not at an alarming level. Opted against the cervical check until next week, mainly because there was nothing going on last week and I’m not optimistic that there would have been any change since then.


Symptoms: not sleeping well anymore. Uncomfortable. Cranky.


Milestones: if baby is still on the inside by this Sat, I’ll be the most pregnant I’ve ever been. DD1 was born 10 days early (by induction).


Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I wasn’t sure about an induction at 39w when my dr brought it up last week, but as time drags on it’s sounding more appealing!


GTKY: What are 5 movies you would take with you on a deserted island if you were stuck there for life? This is tough. I also prefer tv to movies generally. A few faves are The Sound of Music, While You Were Sleeping, Moulin Rouge, Love Actually, and Elf.

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12; 35 weeks

How big is baby? Mini-lop Rabbit or Small Spaghetti Squash.

Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy.

Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? 36 week check-up is next Thursday. I anticipate a cervical check and/or possible scan to determine if dude flipped his butt around. I’m not currently feeling positive about his breech status. I’m really hoping I’ve misidentified butt vs. head. So many FX.

Symptoms: So much crotch-area pain when I try to roll over in bed. What the actual hell is up with that? Sciatica pain is also a real hoot.

Milestones: Made it to the 35-day mark? I guess that’s a milestone. Also have the house more in order for the arrival of a baby.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? N/A

GTKY: What are 5 movies you would take with you on a deserted island if you were stuck there for life? Oh man... Ferngully, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Hocus Pocus, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Santa Clause (with Tim Allen).

Symptoms: Trouble sleeping, random contractions, lots of pooping, tired constantly

Milestones: Like ladybrienne just want to get through one more week and then baby girl is welcome to make her grand debut.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I’m currently bitter that we don’t live in CA anymore. If we did today would be my first day of leave but I’ve still got two weeks to go.

How big is baby? Big. He feels enormous.


Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy.


Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Just had my 37 week check. I'm 2-3 cm dilated, same as last week.


Symptoms: Sore, achy, my hips and back and legs hurt, boobs are sore, migraines, nausea, vomiting, HORRIBLE reflux, insomnia, BH, lots of fetal movement, lost my mucus plug.


Milestones: Nothing really. I got laid off yesterday...does that count?


Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I'm so ready to have this baby...once I hit 38 weeks, I'll be ready to go whenever. Also, my OB said they've been crazy busy, so we may not be doing elective induction. Jesus take the wheel.


GTKY: What are 5 movies you would take with you on a deserted island if you were stuck there for life?

The Shawshank Redemption, HP & the Half Blood Prince, The Storm of the Century, anddddd Idk. Tough call on which comedies I'd bring.

[Diordra]

Oh no sapatos I’m sorry about the lay off
