Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 34w today, due 4/22
Baby is the size of a: fucking whale (or a cantelope, supposedly)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: blue!
Appointments: 3/21
Symptoms: constipation, butt pain, I basically just don't sleep anymore, heartburn
Milestones: bewilderment that I'm 34 weeks pregnant.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I had a dream this weekend that baby was born on our anniversary (4/1) and then I had a panic attack because holy shit that's only 3 weeks away. If he keeps growing the way he has, they'll induce me at 39 weeks, so really he's going to be here in 5 weeks anyway. Which is crazy.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? I drive a Camry, and we installed the car seat this weekend. And now we're kind of freaking out because with 2 50-60lb dogs who like to pace in the back seat and shove their faces out the window, baby is going to get squished. So now I'm looking at 3 row SUVs and panicking lol.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 2 weeks tomorrow!
Baby is the size of a: I don't know his current weight but I can tell he's growing! 😭 His face is filling out and his little belly is more round.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM, DD 4 next month
Appointments: I have my 2 week PP check up tomorrow, I'll have to bring both kids out by myself for the first time. Hoping we survive 😂 Henry's 2 week appointment isn't until next week because his doctor is out on vacation this week and MH is off for spring break next week so it just worked out to delay it a week.
Milestones: His umbilical cord and ring from his circ fell off and he got his first real bath this weekend! He hated it 😂
Rants/Raves/Vents: We're on day 1 of MH being back to work, so far the needy dog is being the most difficult, ha.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? We have a focus wagon, it has a decent amount of space in the backseat but I did have to push my seat up an extra click to get Henry's seat behind it, we're just using a convertible for him in that car. E's seat still fits rfing behind the driver though since hers can be more upright. Our other vehicle is an ancient Jeep with a ton of back seat space, although I haven't moved E's seat over or installed the bucket seat in it yet. Plan on doing that this afternoon since I'll have to take it tomorrow. The annoying thing about the Jeep is that it's a '94 and doesn't have top tethers, but thankfully E is fine rfing still and we'll replace the Jeep this summer before we need to worry about it.
Share any U/S or bump OR BABY (ahem) pics if you'd like: I changed my mind this weekend on wanting newborn pictures done so we just ran up to JCP and they turned out pretty cute. I hope this isn't huge I'm on Tapatalk. *poof*

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 34+5 / April 12 RCS
Baby is the size of a: spaghetti squash? Idk I feel like he has to be bigger, maybe it's just me that is bigger ha!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Boy
Appointments: 3/19
Symptoms: Large, feeling like he's going to drop out of me at any second, lower back pain. The usual.
Milestones: 3 weeks from my target "must reach" date of April 1st!
Rants/Raves/Vents: My daughter was sick this weekend and we spent the majority of our time laying on the couch watching movies. And napping. I took more naps this weekend than I have in...well, a long time. Is this where I confess that while I hated to see her sick, I didn't mind the extra cuddles and rest?
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? I drive a Nissan Altima and it's fine with carseats, but we haven't installed the baby's seat yet. Once they're both in it's going to be a crowded backseat.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 36+2 / due 4/6
Baby is the size of a: Bunch of kale
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: Green
Appointments: Had one this morning, back next Monday
Symptoms: Sooo emotional, insomnia and achy hips
Milestones: One more week to term!
Rants/Raves/Vents: This past week has been rough, a ton of days I've barely felt baby move and have to do juice/lay down to try and get to kick counts, even that has been a struggle, every day I wake up feeling stressed. I shared with the dr so she did a sono and everything was great, baby is moving a ton, I guess it's just because of my anterior placenta that I'm missing so much but it's very frustrating. I'm just ready for this baby to be here safely.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? An accord, no issues with carseat so far

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 37 weeks, Due April 1st
Baby is the size of a: Evidently swiss chard...feels like a watermelon though.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Pink
Appointments: Tomorrow for another cervical check and check up.
Symptoms: I actually felt like i had somewhat more energy over the weekend. Of course lots of BH contractions. And moving like a turtle.
Milestones: less than a month to go.
Rants/Raves/Vents: Nothing really just need to find swaddles and get the bassinet ready for this kid. Pretty sure my 4 yr old has some cavities, hopefully we can get that fixed before the baby comes so I dont have to juggle an infant during her fillings.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? We have a 2013 prius so its a tight fit with 3 carseats. My daughter and son are FF in dionos. The baby bucket seat fits its a britax bsafe. The bucket seat will be behind the passenger. We will only be doing shorter trips with this car. My husband drives a 2006 highlander. We are doing 3 across in there too. It has a 3rd row, but mh likes to have some cargo space and once my daughter is in a booster seat we may move her seat back there.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 39 weeks this week! I never know what to put bc we didn't change the due date until later in the pregnancy. With the new date I am 39 wks on wednesday but with the original lmp I would be 40 weeks on saturday which is crazy.
Baby is the size of a: American short hair cat
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:ttm
Team: girl
Appointments: wednesday
Symptoms: uncomfortable sleeping, some sinus pain, pelvic pressure, last night I noticed my stomach was really tight when I woke up during the night to go pee and now I am wondering if I am having braxton hicks in my sleep too. Although I wasn't feeling out of breathe which usually happens when I do.
Milestones: almost there!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I am trying to sleep more on my left to hopefully help my sinuses, plugged ear, and neck on my right side. It is not painful just really annoying. It is so hard staying on one side though my hip starts to hurt even with pillows.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? We have an older honda odyssey. It works well, lots of space although I have to put my older girls in the very back now with the new baby coming bc we can't have 3 across in the middle. I think newer ones have the bench across which I would prefer.

Wicket I have the same problem with my sinuses and ears recently I am assuming its pregnancy related since i am not sick. And I cannot wait to be able to freeliy move about the bed at night. I also even get BH in while sleeping too. And the ob changed my due date to 3/28 i still call April 1st my due date as I am pretty sure thats more accurate. It just means they will probably induce me before 4/5. My office doesnt like you to go over 41 weeks even with a low risk pregnancy. Which I am not gonna fight too much as I am pretty over pregnancy even though this is my last one. You are so close maybe you will have a baby this week.

Sorry you're already struggling with going back 🙁 Lol I am on leave until sometime between Sept 1 and Oct 7 (it depends on when I get cleared for work, the 5 week discrepancy is the 5 weeks I had him early). I just never want to go back, period!

I was lucky and MH got a new job in the meantime that let me quit about 2 months later, but that feeling sucks!

Weeks pregnant: 37+2/ Scheduled C 3/19
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: DD turns 2 on the 23rd, expecting twin boys
Team: double blue
Appointments:Today. The boys failed the BPP. Scored 6/8 each of them, with both of them losing two points for not showing any practice breathing movements in the time limit. Was sent to hospital for NST. Told if they failed that (they've failed all 4 NSTs so far this pregnancy) that the csection would happen tonight. Thankfully they passed. Have another BPP and NST now scheduled with MFM for Thursday. That was the original date I wanted to schedule the Csection for but my doc wouldn't let me, plus if it happens then, H can be with me the day off the section, and all weekend (minus Friday)! That would be ideal!!
Symptoms: anxiety and depression have ramped up greatly. Yes, I get it, I am 37+2 with twins, but I'm physically and mentally over it. OB gave me some grief today about it. I totally 100% agree with her that the twins' health is super important, but so is mine. She did up my zoloft thankfully, but I'm still hoping that the MFM gives the go ahead for this Thursday instead of next Tuesday.
Milestones: 37 weeks? Made it another day?
Rants/Raves/Vents: Physically, I can't get up or down from couch or bed myself anymore without major difficulty. The again annoyed at the OB today who told me I might need to spend money on help. Thanks. I have DD in daycare 2 days a week, which is all we can afford right now with after birth being only 8 weeks at 40% pay. My friends all work, H has to work to pay the bills right now, and MIL, while she offered to come down this week and next to help, five minutes later said never mind, she'd wait til we call her that the section is on for __ time.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? We upgraded to a new Honda Odyssey in January. We should be okay with all three seats in second row. Starting of with DD behind driver, and twins in middle/passenger.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 5 days old
Baby is the size of a: 7lbs 4 oz at the ped today (7.10 at birth)
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:STM
Team:Blue
Appointments: We had a great appointment at the pediatrician today. He hasn't lost too much weight and he looks great.
Symptoms: I'm recovering. We made a trip to Target after the pediatrician today's and that wore me out. I've been managing the pain with just Advil.
Milestones: I feel like managing each day and night is a milestone right now.
Rants/Raves/Vents: DH has been great with taking over stuff for DD and the housework. I'm nervous about when he has to start transitioning back to school and work stuff.
QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? I just got a Toyota Sienna. It's an upgrade from my 12 year old Corrola. We have plenty of room for the kids.

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM, third pregnancy Team: Pink 💕 Appointments: NST today. BPP, NST, and Appt with OB on Thursday Symptoms: Carpal tunnel, tired, BH, sciatica, feeling ginormous Milestones: Made it to term!! Rants/Raves/Vents: I’ve been having regular contractions for the last 5.5 hours. They’re anywhere from 2-5 min apart. I had 10 during my NST today 2 min apart). They don’t hurt. They feel like tightening/pressure. Baby girl handled them wonderfully on the NST. OB said to call my doula if they got painful. I’m probably going to shower and head to bed soon in case this is it! QOTD: what do you drive, and is it a PITA with your car seats? I have a Toyota Sequoia, and I absolutely love it. H installed the car seat yesterday, and he and I both sat next to it (car seat is in the middle) very comfortably! Share any U/S or bump OR BABY (ahem) pics if you'd like:
