How far along are you? 33 weeks today!
How big is baby? Pineapple
Any appointments this week? I have my monthly ultrasound scheduled tomorrow. It is always fun to see the baby! I have to go to a high-risk doctor because of my age and low PAPP-A
How are you feeling? It's like a roller coaster over here. Some days I am good and full of energy and others I am pretty sluggish. I have low blood pressure so it takes me a while to get going in the morning and I have to take lots of breaks (especially when getting my 4yo off to daycare).
Vents/questions/concerns: I can't believe I am 33 weeks and feel so unprepared. I still have so much to do to get his room together. We have most of the basics but nothing is organized and DH's time is limited due to his work schedule. It stresses me out when I dwell on it too long.
QOTW: In what outfit are you bringing your baby home? Oh gosh, is it bad that I don't remember? I bought a bunch of clothes a while ago and put them in bags in the baby's room. Once DH puts together the dresser (just arrived yesterday), I can wash all the clothes and put them away.

Yday baby failed her BPP with slightly elevated amniotic fluid and she wouldn't breathe. I spwnt 2 hrs in l&d for monitoring and she did very well so they sent me home. I go back today for a repeat BPP. Now I'm all anxious and thinking of stopping work sooner

Thanks guys, she did better yday. Fluid still a little high (24.5) likely due to GD. She's 5 lbs now.

yoshijo, I only just now see this. I'm so sorry you had this scare with baby!! I know all to well from experience unfortunately what it's like I hope she'll continue to do better!! Are they monitoring you some extra now? **hugs** ♥ I hope you'll be able to stop working sooner. And that you will feel less anxious again soon. Feel free to reach out if you need to, k?? (Also, wish we could average out our amniotic fluid heh.. I'm too low, you got some extra... would be perfect to go halfsies no? )

Haha muscari halfsies. That's work for me I'm surprised but no extra monitoring, I go Thurs for my weekly visit. I think I'm going to stop working the middle of next week. It's just too much physically and mentally.

It's just too much physically and mentally. I'm getting less extra monitoring then I had expected as well, to be honest. They were like "we may have you come in again later this week and/or next week" but after discussing with other drs they set the next monitoring appointment for 2 weeks later (so Monday next). At first the thought of no nothing for 2 weeks freaked me out and I was sure I was going to call them this past weekend latest for extrsa monitoring to ease my mind. But I'm feeling rather okay and reassured she's doing alright now that babygirl is doing her thing regularly again heh. So I'm hoping I'll do fine till next week. I don't want to overstress and feel overly anxious and want to have faith in the drs, you know? After next Monday's appointment (I'll be just shy of 36wks then) I'll go for weekly appointments anyway. So you'll be working another 1.5 weeks? I hope those will be somewhat quiet weeks and will fly by. You deserve some time off before baby comes! Especially since the drs think she may be a little early right?
