Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 36w today, due 4/22
Baby is the size of a: honeydew melon
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: FTM
Team: 💙
Appointments: Friday morning, first weekly check-in.
Symptoms: Baby has dropped, so lots of pelvic pain/pressure. Constipation. Peeing every 30 minutes.
Milestones: Almost term!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm... probably going to quit my job. Not so much baby related, but there's a lot of questionable behavior going on and I am ooooover some of this BS. But I'm sure when I do, everyone will say it's because of the baby, and I'll most likely just let them believe that because my boss is a big man on campus in my industry and bad mouthing him would look really poorly upon my own reputation.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity? I love taking our dogs on long walks with my H. I can't wait for M to be here so I'm not uncomfortable walking farther distances, and the dogs lovelovelove it.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby:
One month tomorrow!
Baby is the size of a:
He was 6lb 8oz at his appt last week. He's finally fitting into more NB clothes!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:
STM, E is 4 next month
Team:
Blue
Appointments:
I have a 4 week PP appt this week to check my BP, it's getting back to normal so I'm hoping I can wean from the meds. His next appt is at 2 months.
Milestones:
He's still a little small for most NB clothes, but his preemie sizes are officially too small! He is also officially a peely head baby, and has quite the bald spot on the top of his head 😂
Rants/Raves/Vents:
Question for those with outside babies- what do your LO's do all day? I have forgotten everything about having a little baby and I don't know what to do with him. If he's awake we either prop him up on the boppy in our laps, lay him on the play mat (which he still pays very little attention to) or sit him in the bouncer, where he usually falls asleep. I mean he's fine, but I feel like it's so boring 😂 He eats, looks around for a bit, then pretty much falls back asleep.
Another question- dude gets SO GASSY, especially at night. What are your go to gas reliever remedies? We pump his legs, lay him on his belly, and have given him gas drops (though I haven't noticed them helping).
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity?
Yes it is! A few days are even supposed to get to 70° this week ☀️ I love letting E play out in the backyard while I sit on the porch swing. It's my happy spot.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 36+4, 4/18
Baby is the size of a: papaya, according to US 6lb 7oz
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: stm
Team: blue
Appointments: Friday, weekly now
Symptoms: so tired, insomnia, I think my feet are swelling they hurt to walk, GD
Milestones: almost 27 weeks
Rants/Raves/Vents: we did ultrasound at last appointment and they did 3D I’ve never had one before and it was so cool, he is like a real baby’s and has such chubby cheeks.
They doctor said my fluid level is border line low so nervous about that. Doing another ultrasound in 2 weeks.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity?
It’s starting to warm up but not consistent yet. I’m so ready. Luckily it was nice this weekend for DDs birthday party, because our house did not have room for all the people. I like to go on walks, take DD to park (not sure how this will work with baby), I love all the outside activities our community has. I feel like there is so much more to do in spring/summer.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 39 weeks April 1 due date.
Baby is the size of a: small pumpkin or something.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: Pink.
Appointments: Tomorrow. Since the doctor discussed induction at my last appointment. (Where i stared at the doctor somewhat dumb founded. Thinking of my to do list and my current cold... thinking no way i wanna be induced this week) I am assuming we will talk about that again. I would still prefer to go into labor on my own. I think they start NST after i hit 40 weeks so I may have to schedule that.
Symptoms: backache today. I have been feeling somewhat ok for as huge as i am. At least when i get enough rest. My cold is getting better...my kids are now sick...😬
Milestones: 1 more week.
Rants/Raves/Vents: Not sure there is going to be a good time for this baby to arrive. Too many things going on right now. I am so looking forward to not being pregnant even bought wine at the grocery store for after baby is here.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity? Going on walks is one of my favorites. planting my garden too.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 36+5 / RCS April 12th
Baby is the size of a: romaine lettuce
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Boy
Appointments: Friday
Symptoms: Omg the swelling. It hurts to walk! I'm destroying my regular work shoes because I'm having to shove my feet into them every morning.
Milestones: Two days away from full term!
Rants/Raves/Vents: If one more person asks me how I'm feeling (looking at you, MIL....) - I am 37 weeks pregnant. How do you think I'm feeling?! Hahahaha.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity? It's getting warmer! Winter made it's last stand on Friday (hopefully) with a freak 20 minute snowstorm, but yesterday was 70. Favorite spring activity used to be going for a bike ride, but that hasn't been happening lately, so I'll say just spending time outside, whether it's taking walks or taking DD to the park, etc. I love sunshine!

@ges072115 , yessss on the "how are you feeling?" Mine are usually accompanied by the pity eyes. Also, the random "wow, you've dropped!" comments by randos that I've never met before. YOU KNOW NOTHING JON SNOW! While yes, I'm basically waddling around with his head coming out, stop commenting on my body!

pambee I know at this early age the big thing is to feed them, change them, and get them to sleep. I want to say that they shouldn't be up longer then an hour???? We are still in the sleepy newborn stage so it's not too much work to get him back to sleep except when he's cluster feeding. I know that will change more as he "wakes up" now that we've past his due date.

tapdancer I love that one of him in the rnp. That look 😂 And ugh I bled (am still?) longer this time too. I know I was done by my 2 week check up with E, and I'm still lightly spotting this time 😐 Just enough to need a panty liner, but still. Let's cut it out.

I go from needing a liner to needing a pad for a few hours. It's super annoying. I just hate pads in general because I normally use a menstral cup. |

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: Due date is technically tomorrow based off my LMP
Baby is the size of a: watermelon or something equally as huge
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink
Appointments: Thursday for OB and then NST on Friday if I'm still pregnant
Symptoms: so much hip pain/back pain.
Milestones:
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm so ready to have this baby here and healthy. I've been an emotional wreck and so badly need to be done working now. I'm also having a hard time dealing with everyones well intentioned questions about when I'm due and what I look like and their excitement for the baby. DD has been sick and I'm stressed about that too. I just don't want her to be sick with this new baby coming. It's also my birthday today and H I think forgot about it and tried to pass it off as if he remembered. We had been texting already this morning and then he sent me a "by the way happy birthday" text. So naturally I started crying. Fun.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity? It's finally starting to warm up and has been wonderful and sunny the past several days which has really helped my general moodiness

Happy Birthday remi I know how you feel. I could have written almost the same post. I am just getting over a cold. My son has an ear infection and now my husband is getting a cold. I am due this week too. I am over working too. I am so uncomforable by the end of the day. And then my kids somehow want me to parent in the evening....hi kids i just want to lay down on the couch. k thanks. Did your baby ever turn head down? eta I saw your baby is head down in randoms thread! Hopefully labor is hours away for you. |

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby:
1 week old!!
Baby is the size of a:
Not sure...will find out this afternoon
FTM/STM/TTM/etc:
FTM
Team:
Pink 💕
Appointments:
First pedi appt today
Symptoms:
I’m having some lower pelvic pain, and I have the sensation like something is in my vagina...like a tampon is in not quite right. I saw my OB yesterday, and she did an exam, and everything was ok. They tested me for UTI, but I never heard back about the results, so I assume it was negative. It’s just normal PP healing. I was worried about a hematoma or infection of my uterus, but it’s neither so that’s good! Ibuprofen helps the pain though.
Milestones:
My baby is 1 week old! I can’t believe it.
Rants/Raves/Vents:
She has a double chin now, which is SO adorable!
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity?
Yes it is warming up! Love it! We love to go outside for walks/hikes. We take baby girl outside everyday for fresh air and sunshine, and she loves it.

I don’t want pics of her online, so I won’t be posting any...sorry!

I’m dying here trying to balance my new job (started yesterday), a newborn, and the rest of my life that existed pre baby. My little guy has pneumonia and I’m really worried about him. My bleeding is worse than ever at 6 weeks PP so I just had a late night ultrasound, fun, but so thankful they could get me in at this time so it doesn’t take away from work or my limited time with the kids. Fx for no retained placenta.
I expect to be drowning in all this for at least a few more weeks so forgive me if I show up and congratulate you all way late and you’ve already gone to some private off board as bmbs are wont to do 😩💔
I’m sorry I’m not around to be more supportive, Miss you all!
ETA: no retained placenta! Woo!

Tlex the like was for no retained placenta! I’m sorry for everything else  every day will start to get a little better and then one day you’ll realize you no longer feel like drowning but like you’re kicking ass at everything! I hope your little guy gets better and your bleeding stops ASAP! I’ll be thinking of you.

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: DD is 15 days old!
Baby is the size of a: no clue. She’s in 0-3 now!
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM
Team: pink
Appointments: I had my incision check yesterday. That looks good. If I keep having tenderness on my one side I have to call back in a week though.
Symptoms:
Milestones: I feel like moving out of nb clothes is one!
Rants/Raves/Vents: I’m slowly starting to get back to normal and get my routine going again. MH works from home right now which has been a big help. Today DD and I were downstairs for a while but it wore me out and he sent me upstairs for an afternoon nap with her which was so appreciated.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity?
Just getting outside. I’m excited to get our deck furniture back up and spend time outside!

Tlex, the love tit was for no retained placenta! I hope little guy feels better soon and you start to feel more confident at your new job! I know how that feels, I just started my new job on Monday and even though I'm doing the same things its still getting acclimated to a new office. Sending you love!

Weeks pregnant/Due date/How old is baby: 36 + 5 / RCS April 12
Baby is the size of a: ripe papaya? I’ve never seen a 7lb papaya though
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Pink
Appointments: I had one last Friday and again yesterday. Nothing exciting, which is good.
Symptoms: feet swelling, back aching, heartburn. But really, 3rd trimester has been weirdly easier than 1st and 2nd because I’m not puking anymore. It’s so nice to feel slightly human, even if I also feel slightly whale.
Milestones: just counting down the days
Rants/Raves/Vents: After having my ILs here for a day, I’m totally dreading everyone being here while we’re in the hospital. I really wish people would wait to come visit. I’m definitely telling my nurses to clear the room any time they come in for anything.
QOTD: Is it warming up in your area? What's your favorite Spring activity?
Anything outside. We go to the park, to the zoo, to the botanical garden, walk to the grocery. I just love being outside and winter is a tough season for me.
