I’m terrible at participating in these, but I’ll play this week! When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? Due Dec 9; 38+1 today How big is baby? Large. Like a basketball, feels like. US at 34 weeks showed baby at 90th% for weight and 3 weeks ahead for head so that’s a bit concerning. Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Weekly OB on a Wednesday. She wants to talk about membrane stripping which is fine by me! Symptoms: walking is hard. That trip toCostco yesterday was regrettable. Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Well we thought we had an induction booked for this coming Sunday at 39 weeks but L&D declined it, saying I am now not AMA enough for it to be valid. . I guess they changed the rules recently? Or something? And so we wait. GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? fake because I don’t like vacuuming needles and worrying about watering it enough. We’ve had our fake one for 10 years now and it’s still going strong.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 12/5, RCS THURSDAY!!
How big is baby? Big?
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Just left my last OB apt before my CSection. Everything was good.
Symptoms: Ended up in L&D on Saturday night due to timeable contractions, but they stalled out so they sent me home. Everything else is pretty typical at this point.
Milestones: Her Birthday is this week!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I’m just so done. My midwife this morning was like well you aren’t really giving me anything to work with to send you to L&D early 😆
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning?
Fake tree. I love the smell of real but don’t want to deal with watering and cleaning up after it.

When is your due date? How far along are you? December 12; 37+5
How big is baby? Romaine Heart.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy.
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Weekly check-in on Thursday.
Symptoms: So much pelvic pain. It hurts so much to walk and sleep. I can’t cross my legs anymore without suffering severe consequences when standing up. Combination of heartburn, nausea and hunger at night. Make up my mind, body. Are we hungry or are we puking?
Milestones: Baby is full term. Woo!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? They did a thankful craft at daycare last week. The teachers then wrote down what the kids said they were thankful for. DD said she’s thankful for Baby J without any prompting 😠My heart has asploded.
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? We usually do a little fake tree in our bay window for looks and then a real tree in the living room. We do the real tree experience for DD. I’m a little nervous this year because they’re telling us to be on the lookout for the eggs of a very invasive species that has been running rampant in our area, but FX we don’t end up with any extra friends.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 13 days old
How big is baby? 7 lbs 9 oz per the baby scale I bought, that puts him back to birth weight!
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Baby B has his two week pedi appointment tomorrow, I've got my incision check with the OB Wednesday.
Symptoms: my physical recovery is going great, and I feel so much more human, just a really tired human.
Milestones: I slept three hours in a row last night
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I forgot how much pumping sucks, but it's still preferable to fighting a newborn to latch who would rather have a bottle. A small part of me is still a bit sad over throwing in the breastfeeding towel, but I honestly think my whole family is happier now, so I'm just resolving myself to the fact that it's not meant to be for me or my kids. It didn't work for W either, and he's a thriving three year old, so I know I'll get over it completely once it's not so fresh.
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? Fake. Do not want to deal with finding a new tree every year, hauling it home, and dealing with the mess.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 13 days old!
How big is baby? I would guess he is close to 8.5 lbs if not 9 lbs.
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? 12/13 for a general checkup
Milestones: his unbilcal cord stump fell off last week but we haven't bathed him yet.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? This kid loves to eat! I actually worry about my supply a but because he just eats and eats and almost always finishes both sides. With DS2 I always had a bit of an oversupply and DS2 only ever finished one side. F seems to be gaining weight and growing well though since he is now almost too long for NB clothes. I am trying not to obsess over it.
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? I would prefer a replacement tree but between the dogs being jerks and toppling over the fake tree and having small kids who may pick up the fallen needles and either eat them or drag them all over the house... We have a fake tree for the foreseeable future.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? DD is 12/5, c-section IN TWO DAYS PEOPLE, TWO DAYS. 39 weeks.
How big is baby? a god damn pumpkin
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Boy
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? I am officially done with appointments - I just have to go to the hospital's outpatient center today and get blood work done.
Symptoms: A lot of pelvic pain, I can feel him settling in low in my pelvis and it hurts. Sore back, contractions (nothing regular though), peeing all the livelong day.
Milestones: Full term.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? I am just very much looking forward to getting this baby out and not peeing every 5 seconds. Like imagining that feels like such luxury right now.
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? Fake tree - my cats would eat a real tree plus I find them to be messy and I would just much rather do fake. They make such nice fake ones these days. I am going to trade up sometime in the next few years and get a real bougie fake tree.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? RCS Dec 19th...3 weeks away!
How big is baby? 6+ lbs
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Girl
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? Another NST today. Hoping this one goes smoother than the last!
Symptoms: Peeing, not sleeping, heartburn, just general misery.
Milestones: 36 weeks!!! I just can't believe it. It feels weird and awesome to be this pregnant! Haha next week I'll be ready to kick her out!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Even thought the physical toll is rough at this point it is just so awesome to have made it to this point. Little drama last week but we made it through and had DS bday party and he had a blast!! It was so awesome and cute. My to do list is dwindling down and I finished up 95% of my Christmas shopping and I probably have ~30% wrapped. With the timing of the C-section though I really need to be 100% wrapped and done as soon as possible. Getting there...
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? We used to do real but it was just messy and one year we got a soggy tree and couldn't even get it into the tree stand because it was so wet or rotted and DH and I were fighting. Definitely not the Christmas spirit I was going for so now we make it easy on ourselves and do fake. No regrets.

When is your due date? How far along are you? OR how old is baby? 11/26 was my due date A is 19 days old!!
How big is baby? Last week he was 6 lbs 11oz
Boy/Girl/Team Green? Green turned blue
Any Upcoming Appointments For You or Baby? A had an ingrown fingernail and we have a follow up on Thursday
Symptoms: - none
Milestones: we have returned to birth weight
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Has any one had a newborn on antibiotics before? A has/ had an ingrown nail that was quite infected. The antibiotic is messing with his stomach. How can I help him?
GTKY: If you celebrate, real tree or fake tree? What’s your reasoning? We have done both. I like the real tree. I like the smell and the tradition of going to find a tree and the memories. But the fake is much more convenient.
