Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 36+2, EDD 3/31, Induction on 3/24 Baby is the size of a: Papaya FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM, third pregnancy Team: Pink 💕💕 Appointments: Thursday for BPP, NST, and with my OB ETA: and growth US Symptoms: Carpal tunnel, sciatica (mostly on the left side), some back pain, tired, some swelling in my ankles/feet Milestones: 36 weeks! I’m 9 months pregnant 😳 Rants/Raves/Vents: My upper back seems to bother me more than my lower back, which I think is strange. H pops my back though, and it temporarily feels better. I’m GBS negative!!! My OB will check me for the first time on Thursday. I’m super curious to know if I’ve started to dilate at all yet, but I know it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. When I woke up on Sunday, the baby had dropped. I can breathe again, which is amazing! Google says baby should be born about 2 weeks after they drop. I’m sure that’s not super accurate though. QOTD: what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a jockey. I love to ride horses. I also wanted to be an Olympian doing something equestrian. Neither happened though.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 8 days old! Baby is the size of a: 8ish pounds FTM/STM/TTM/etc: Ttm Team: Green turned blue Appointments: Tomorrow for our 1 week follow up Symptoms: All of my pregnancy discomforts went away almost immediately after giving birth! So that's nice. Milestones: We have made it a whole week! We are doing really well. I cant wait to see his weight tomorrow, I think we should be on the upswing now. Rants/Raves/Vents: we are doing so well. My big boys are so sweet with their little brother. Baby That.cher is doing great. Nursing like a champ. We got our birth photos from the photographer and I cried through the whole album. It was amazing to relive his birth through her camera lens. QOTD: what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be an OB/GYN. I actually went to school for teaching and hold a certification in my state, but have never used it much to DHs dismay 😬 Baby picture 😍

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 32+6/April 25
Baby is the size of a: scooter board
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm
Team: pink
Appointments: Friday for regular OB
Symptoms: SPD has kicked up a notch this week
Milestones: I’ve reached the point of the show where people like to comment on how I must be due any day now and I’m like nope 7 more weeks and their eyes bug out of their heads, so that’s fun
Rants/Raves/Vents: took my daughter to a sibling class at the hospital and it was so cute, but she totally ratted me out on taking her hospital blanket home. She saw the hospital blankets and straight up shouted to the instructor “hey! I have that same blanket at home!!” Whoops 😬
QOTD: what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to work in a zoo - if I could’ve had a career called small furry animals, that would’ve been right up my alley. Ended up an environmental engineer. If I could do it all over I think I’d be an archaeologist.

photomama2013 he is adorable. Also I am hoping for the same feeling right after birth. i know the doctor asked me to scoot up the bed right after i had my son. (because they detach the foot piece the bed when you are delivering so its more of a squat position that you are in. so they were putting that back on) and I was like i dont know if I can...i didnt realize how immediately better i could move on my back. it was so nice not to feel like a turtle upside down on its shell.

Update to big baby u/s results: my doctor was fairly unconcerned today. Given my “reasonable” weight gain, good glucose test results, and measuring on track, she said she is probably just a big baby. DD1 was 83rd percentile at birth, so not far fetched to think DD2 will be on the upper end of the curve as well.
Meanwhile, I keep trying to decide if I’m concerned about the slowing of movement or not. It’s there every day, just not as much. Probably running out of room, but ya know, big responsibility and all.

Well I had another appt today. Baby girl did amazing with the BPP and NST. She is measuring in the 66th percentile, and they estimate she weighs 6lbs 11oz.
My fluid levels are a little bit low, and my BP was up a smidge. My OB upped my induction to 3/18. So that means I’ll be having a baby no later than a week from Monday! Yikes! Crap just got really real 😳. I hope we have everything and that we’re ready for our baby to be born!
