Team: Blue

Milestones: none

Symptoms: All the same before, but the swelling is really bad now and carpal tunnel has joined the party

Appointments: MW next week

Team: Green

Milestones:

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks, fatigue, sciatica (somewhat improved), reflux, indigestion

Rants: I quit belly dance class, it's good for labour but it was at night and I'm tired and exhausted at night. All braxton hicks went up to 4-5/h for a bit and back down. Also they hurt and back to normal. I'm trying to do yoga more, do my hypnobirthing meditations and other meditations to remain calm. My anxiety is way too high. 

Raves: DH has started on his mission to finish things before the baby is born. He fixed DD's big kid bed & put up the curtains. He moved a cabinet from DD's future room to the bedroom so I could stuff it with baby things.

[elodin]

Appointments: 5/30 growth at MFM and 6/3 regular OB check

Team: 💙

Milestones: none

Symptoms: same old same old

Rants: I got admitted into the hospital for a couple days last week with pneumonia. My kids had colds and ear infections a few days before and I guess it just snowballed when I caught their crud. Baby was fine through it all. I'm feeling better. Just worn out and winded easily. Fun fact: Apparently you're immune system is suppressed when you're pregnant. What a way to find out.

Raves: My husband's sister and her family are visiting from out of state.

[friendofdobby]

Yikes at the pneumonia elodin. Glad you are feeling better.

Week/fruit/EDD: 34w2d, pineapple, 7/7

FTM, etc.: STM

Appointments: this morning. GBS in 2 weeks.

Team: pink

Milestones: I’m pretty sure I’m now far enough along that my tiny local hospital could handle delivery.

Symptoms: same as the last month or so, plus a random nosebleed last night.

Rants: I really don’t want to do 6+ more weeks of work. Feeling very burnt out at the moment.

Raves: H and DS visited family over the weekend while I worked. Got some adorable pictures of DS and his cousins. H said the 1.5yo cousin would run up and give DS hugs at random intervals, and my very non-huggy DS would hug back. Adorable.

Week/fruit/EDD: 35+3/RCS June 26

FTM, etc.: STM

Appointments: OB today and my GBS (I'm at weekly appointments already).

Team: Pink:)

Milestones: 27 days to go!

Symptoms: Throwing up daily, constant nausea, heartburn, back, hip and pelvic pain.

Rants: Just feeling bad that I'm not doing more out if the house stuff with DD. I've been cleaning and organizing my parents' house all week to make room for baby so haven't been giving her as much attention as I should. Plus with how I'm feeling I'm not super comfortable being out of the house for long periods on my own.

Raves: I getting so close to finishing up organizing the house! I just have to sort through toys today and then get everything we're keeping put away. I'm actually seeing an end to all this madness! Plus I've managed to get my parents to go through a lot of their junk and start purging stuff that is just taking up room. I'm feeling so much lighter!!!

[cookswithwine]

You’re so close sammysam! Comparatively, I feel like I have a long time to go lol.

[Deleted]

sammysam: I guilty about how little time I spend with DD constantly. Cleaning is a coping mechanism for my anxiety and I often think I'm just doing chores but I'm avoiding down time where I can think & obsess.
The one thing I really saw when we had people over is that I just need to find things she enjoys that I can also be comfortable doing. Her uncle helped her build a block maze, play "hide & seek" with her toys & "hide & find" around the house. I can do these things, I just am not comfortable sitting on the floor so I need to bring a cushion or something!

[sammysam]

@kore I'm lucky that SO likes to play the things I don't love with her. I prefer taking her places, doing crafts, reading, and doing really active things...which is why this is killing me right now. Normally we are out of the house every chance we get going to tons of places and doing lots of outdoor/active things. But because of how far along I am I'm not super comfortable doing it all on my own with her right now (especially since a lot of it involves long drives)...and SO works crazy hours so I can tell she's getting a little frustrated.

I've got 20 days to go now. It feels so close yet so far! I'm sure these last weeks will drag on and on.
