Happy New Years Eve ladies!

Weeks pregnant: 33

Baby is the size of a: bunch of celery

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: girl

Appointments: January 11th

Symptoms: Tight/painful stomach usually in the evenings, thinking I may have an irritable uterus. Lots of BH. Heartburn. Tired and out of breath easily.

Milestones: Another week down

Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m definitely more uncomfortable this pregnancy but trying to enjoy the last few weeks as much as I can since this is our last.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions? We’re taking down Christmas decorations and the tree today then shooting fireworks with neighbors tonight. Haven’t really thought about a NY resolution. Losing the baby weight by this time next year? Surviving two kids?

[wildflowers]

Weeks pregnant: 34 weeks 3 days

Baby is the size of a: cantaloupe

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Boy

Appointments: Wednesday, Ultrasound to confirm position next week.

Symptoms: Not sleeping, exhaustion, heartburn, so many BH contractions, back pain.

Milestones: DD1 asked me if I have reached "maximum cranky" yet? The crib is set up and the baby clothes are washed.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I am so uncomfortable and so over this. I feel like 34 weeks is much too early to be feeling this way. I think a lot of it is having just moved into the new house. I feel so unsettled.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions? We have some low key plans, but I am not sure I am going to be up for them.

Weeks pregnant: 40w 1 d

Baby is the size of a: watermelon/beach ball

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: ttm

Team: boy

Appointments: no more appts, induction in 2 days

Symptoms: too many to list

Milestones: beyond full term

Rants/Raves/Vents: I could rant about literally everything right now. Why did my first 2 come at 39w4d (within an hour of each other!) on their own and this one is content staying in forever?

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions? No plans because we figured we'd have a newborn by now. Soo staying home. I have never really made an resolutions!

[dashook]

Weeks pregnant: 36+3

Baby is the size of a: papaya/Cabbage Patch doll

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: green, and getting more and more excited to meet this baby!

Appointments: kicking back doing my NST right now, and will see OB after.

Symptoms: itching, back pain, light cramping, heartburn, trouble sleeping, peeing nonstop.

Milestones: I’m at the point where literally every person I encounter (especially stangers) has a comment about how I must be close to the end, etc.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I need to start spending some time on yoga the next few weeks. I definitely think baby is laying sunny side up and I would like him or her to learn to love the opposite position before it’s time for labor and delivery.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions?
Plans: Nothing much. I’m at the hospital and DD is with MIL. DH took DS to a college basketball game and I think he is planning to bring home sushi from our favorite place. So we’ll probably just eat dinner with the kids and maybe watch a movie with them, then we’ll stay up for the ball. I bought a bottle of prosecco and plan to have a glass.

Resolutions: I’m not really one for resolutions. But I am looking forward to 2019 and learning how to be a mom to three. I want to get better at meal planning and finding ways to fit workouts into my days. Since I’ve been SAH I unapologetically only have used my “free time” to nap, but once baby is here and I’m recovered I want to focus more on my health.

dashook I’ve been wondering what position this baby is in too. What makes you think sunny side up? I’m pretty sure DS1 was sunny side up and I had an anterior placenta with him too 🤔😬.

Weeks pregnant: 37!

Baby is the size of a: honeydew melon

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: green and so excited to know if we’ll have three boys or a girl!

Appointments: Friday with a dr who I’ve heard terrible things about 😬. I couldn’t get in with anyone else and I’m kind of dreading it. But i scheduled the rest of my appts with my fav doctor.

Symptoms: reflux, BH, insomnia, no energy

Milestones: I’ve made about half of my planned freezer meals. Now I’m exhausted. DH needs to install the car seats today or tomorrow and I need to sterilize my pump-I think that’s it.

Rants/Raves/Vents: I still have this annoying cough that keeps me up all night. My recent CBC showed that my RBC was low and my white was high, which I’m assuming is bc I’m sick and I’m always anemic towards the end of pregnancy. I guess that could also explain why I have no energy.

I’m getting a bit anxious for labor and delivery, and wondering if I’ll have to be induced again (likely). I don’t feel comfortable going too far past my due date due to baby’s size and post date baby concerns. I also hope I have a good on call dr who will deliver. The OB situation hadn’t been stellar this pregnancy since my regular OB has been out of the country my entire pregnancy.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions? We are just staying home and I’m making fajitas. I’ll definitely be in bed before midnight. We never really do anything for NYE which is just the way I like it. My other NYE tradition is to start the new year with fresh sheets. Lol. I’m so lame. But I’m not sure I have the energy to wash all the sheets right now ha.

It’s a combination of the way the front of my belly feels when s/he moves (like a whole bunch of pointy limbs lol), and the back aches I feel when I have any kind of uterine activity (reminds me of laboring with DD who was born fully face up). Funny enough I also have anterior placenta with this one; didn’t have it with my others though.

Buuut I asked my OB today and she felt my belly and said she thinks baby is head down with his/her back along my right side, so probably what I’m feeling are elbows. I have to wonder though how many elbows this kid has 😆

Weeks pregnant: 33w tomorrow

Baby is the size of a: some large veggie

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: GIRL

Appointments: Had BPP today. NST Friday and High Risk on Monday.

Symptoms: Everything is starting to hurt and take maximum effort.

Milestones: Made it another week. Seriously a few weeks ago no one thought I'd make it this far so while I'm uncomfortable in glad baby girl is still cooking.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Next Monday will be a big visit for me. We will check growth and cord flow again. Which will likely determine how much longer baby gets to stay in. If all is stable then probably 37w. If it doesn't then possibly immediate delivery . I'm a little anxious about it all.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions? No NYE plans. I worked today and work tomorrow. Can't even eat any good foods because GD. No resolutions really. I have a few goals for the year but right now my focus is bringing home a healthy baby.

Weeks pregnant: 32+4

Baby is the size of a: Naked-tail Armadillo

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team: Pink

Appointments: Growth U/S Friday

Symptoms: Exhausted. SPD sucks and I can't find a PT for preggo people who is accepting new patients :/ All the BH. They're doing what they did with DS2 and are primarily from my belly button down as opposed to all over which has me mildly concerned about a similar labor and delivery. Butt labor is no joke, guys. And I'm measuring a week ahead, ute-wise which is what happened with DS2 as well.

Milestones: Um. Idk. Less than 2 months seems like a pretty big milestone given how this pregnancy has already lasted 100 years.

Rants/Raves/Vents: My husband's cousin just had her baby yesterday and he is so cute! Baby fever is making me antsy for A to show up. I'm so glad I finally got to the excited part of this journey after having such a hard time accepting it for the first half.
One of my besties from college called me and said she is planning to come for a visit at the start of Feb and to make it to my shower! She was going to wait until after A arrived so that she could help but other things came up


QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions?

[k]

Oh I forgot my resolution. Instead of a resolution I’m going to do a “word of the year”, which is going to be patience. Wish me luck ☺️.

[thelittleredm]

Apparently, Tapa doesn't like me finishing my stuff -.- It went completely blank on me when I got too far, I guess.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions?

My parents invited us over for a game night so I think we're going to do that. DS1 got BINGO for Christmas so we'll probably take that with us.

I prefer my resolutions to be called goals lol Ideally:
1. We will have all but one credit card (or all!) paid off by the end of the year.
2. I'll be at or below pre-baby weight by this time next year.
3. I'll be able to run a 5k without completely dying.
4. We will be able to build a wall/fence around our front yard OR put that money into making our backyard kid friendly.
5. I will survive having 3 kids lol

Weeks pregnant: 31+5

Baby is the size of a: bunch of asparagus

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM

Team: secret

Appointments: Growth scan Fri, OB Monday

Symptoms: peeing, back/hip pain, tired, sore, more emotional/sensitive (sorry, DH!)

Milestones: desperately had to pee 3 times while doing my nails...managed to pull down my pants and undies with a kitchen tongs, but couldn't get the pants back up with wet nails so waited for DH to come home from work and help!

Rants/Raves/Vents: So thankful that I had rare energy and lack of pain yesterday evening to be able to host a nice NYE dinner and snacks/games for close family! Also thankful for some delicious all-you-can-eat sushi and dim sum this weekend - I stayed away from anything raw but it was amaaazing to have so many of my favorite foods.

QOTW: What are your plans for NYE/NY? Any New Year’s resolutions? We finished painting the house (interior) this weekend, made an Ikea trip, and finished redoing our living/dining room, nursery is almost finished now too! Life feels so much more under control with our space beautiful, clean, organized, and peaceful. Resolution is just to be kind and accepting to myself - anticipating some self-esteem struggles as a new, tired, physically recovering mama!

Baby is the size of a: Squash

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM

Team: Pink!

Appointments: Thursday- growth scan and OB visit. Then I’m onto every other week appointments.

Symptoms: Heartburn, burping, and indigestion. Pain at night. Swelling. Peeing all the time. I just feel so done.

Milestones: Less than 2 months to go.

Rants/Raves/Vents: Again, I feel DONE. But I still have a lot to prepare and I am honestly scared of the transition from 1-2 kids.
