Week/Fruit/EDD/baby age: will be 3 weeks tomorrow
FTM, Etc: 3TM
Appointments: his next one is at 2m, mine is 3w away
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): blue
Milestones: lifting his head for longer during tummy time and smiled for the first time
Symptoms/questions: just ready to stop bleeding. It comes and goes and it’s annoying.
Rants: baby hates having gas
Raves: I seriously melted when he smiled for the first time soooooo cute
GTKY: since we are always talking about our kids, what is something YOU want for Christmas? Even if it’s something you won’t get. I’d love a new tv for the living room. We’ve had the same one that my H had before we got married and it’s small and not the best. I’m thinking Black Friday we might get one.

Week/Fruit/EDD/baby age: 2 weeks tomorrow
FTM, Etc: TTM
Appointments: Wednesday for yet another weight check
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): girl
Milestones: Starting to have more awake periods
Symptoms/questions:
Rants: I’ve been at the pediatricians office 6 times in the last two weeks. At this rate, I might as well move in to the waiting room. She gained absolutely nothing between Thursday and Monday, which has us all flabbergasted, but we managed to get her up a full ounce between Monday and Tuesday. DS2 came down with pink eye and an ear infection, too, so that’s fun

Not sure. I buy my own gifts, though, so 🤷🏼♀️ I’ve given up on DH doing it

Week/Fruit/EDD/baby age: Just turned a week old Monday
FTM, Etc: #4
Appointments: Hers, Friday. Mine, TBD
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): Pink
Milestones: A week old?
Symptoms/questions:
Rants: The postpartum cramping randomly returned today? It's so weird. And my bleeding picked up again. Pfft.
Raves: My moms group set up a meal train for us so we have dinner covered for the next two weeks! And then I still have my frozen crockpot meals waiting. It definitely helps me feel a lot less overwhelmed in the evenings.
GTKY: since we are always talking about our kids, what is something YOU want for Christmas? Even if it’s something you won’t get. A vacation. I may get that in early December, actually. There's talk of my mom flying my siblings and me (and DD3) to Las Vegas then. Im from Las Vegas so it's not for touristy purposes but it would still be nice, I think. And maybe Key West in January for my aunt's birthday. That one would be sans kids.

Week/Fruit/EDD/baby age: 38, ukelele, oct 22
FTM, Etc: TTM
Appointments: midwife tomorrow
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): green
Milestones: getting closer to baby day!
Symptoms/questions: lots of BH, baby is sitting super low
Rants: nothing really, just ready to meet this little one!
Raves: my parents get home on Friday and DS turns 2 on Saturday! We have almost made it past all the things we wanted to before baby shows up! Keeping our fingers crossed to make it until at least Tuesday night (which would be 39 weeks) as DH has a root canal Tuesday but after that...come on baby!!
GTKY: since we are always talking about our kids, what is something YOU want for Christmas? Even if it’s something you won’t get. An Apple Watch. I know I’m way behind the game but I’d love to get one. I have a fit bit where I can read but not respond to texts and I think it would be helpful since I try to not have my phone out around my kids but it would still give me the option to answer a call or whatever without having my phone in my hand all the time

Week/Fruit/EDD/baby age: 39+4/Oct 14
FTM, Etc: TTM
Appointments: Tuesday
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): pink
Milestones: almost to EDD
Symptoms/questions: trying to figure out what we do at my appt on Tuesday if baby’s not here yet. I haven’t had a NST yet, but my pressure has been good and baby active. I am however advanced maternal age (I guess, I’m 37 not 50), gbs +, and this has not been the easiest pregnancy. Trying to decide if we schedule induction for next Friday, or push it out until Monday the 21st. I’ve never been induced before, hopefully we don’t have to decide.
Rants: Getting ready to head into work. I think my last day is a 12 hour shift tomorrow, but I’m just done. I also tweaked something in my back, I suspect due to my giant tits. I could use some ibuprofen.
Raves: we had a great weekend, went apple picking and had some time to spend individually with both DS and DD. It was the perfect calm before the storm. Excited for our family to be complete.
GTKY: since we are always talking about our kids, what is something YOU want for Christmas? Even if it’s something you won’t get. I’d love a spa day!

Week/Fruit/EDD/baby age: 3 weeks
FTM, Etc: FTM
Appointments: Postpartum appointment next week
Team (pink, blue, green, finding out): 💙
Milestones: Getting close to a month old!
Symptoms/questions:
Rants: I’m really struggling with keeping my breast milk supply going, but I feel like I’m not getting enough. I’m going to see a speech therapist who also advises on feeding in newborns to see what can be done about his breastfeeding. It sounds like he has laryngeal malaise, and might not have the muscle to breastfeed. Between that and my flat nipples, I think I might have to exclusively pump, but even that is having it’s difficulties. I’m taking a shit load of herbs to see if it helps, I really really don’t want to have to move on to exclusively formula. This is all causing a lot of stress, which also doesn’t help my supply. It’s just a negative spiral and I’m really struggling.
Raves: My father in law has been coming over and helping me for an hour with the baby so I can get some things done. He’s really a godsend
GTKY: since we are always talking about our kids, what is something YOU want for Christmas? Even if it’s something you won’t get. I really wanted a sapphire ring for my right hand for Christmas, we actually went in to have my ring sized and my H and I looked at rings and put one on layaway. It’s got 3 sapphires with a halo of diamonds. I like the symbolism of the three stones representing our little family. I can’t wait to wear it!
