How far along are you? 34 weeks today
How big is baby? Basketball goal/net thingy
Any appointments this week? Tomorrow!
How are you feeling? So tired. I suck at partial bed rest. I have been doing better at sitting down more, taking breaks and not lifting my kids as much but some of our help fell through so I'm kind of having to do an improvised bed rest. It also does not bode well with my urge to nest. I'm pretty worn down at the end of each day.
Vents/questions/concerns: I just hurt. Even rolling over in bed hurts my SPD but I'm trying to enjoy the good parts of pregnancy as much as I can since this is my last one. Also minorly freaking out that this baby could come in 3 weeks if she wants?? DS2 came at 37+3 which is crazy to imagine right now.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week? We made a lot of great headway this weekend! I had my shower, did a big Target trip to grab some necessities that we still needed, DH painted the nursery last night and I just came back from having our car seats installed. We have a 3 across set up in my SUV and I had them installed by the sheriff's office because they looked too complicated for me to mess with.
Other things I plan to accomplish this week- get the nursery all put together, hospital bag packed and wash the RnP cover, bouncer cover and give the infant seat a good cleaning.

How far along are you? 34 weeks tomorrow
How big is baby? Large bag of potato chips
Any appointments this week? Had my bi weekly appt this morning. Nothing major to report.
How are you feeling? Getting over a cold. Not sure where I got it from because non of my kids have been sick and my hubby is totally fine. I've been nesting hard core and spent all day yesterday cleaning, organizing, and doing laundry. My body is hurting today from it!
Vents/questions/concerns: Random vent - I can not wait to have a drink! Oh, and so sorry I haven't been very active on here lately. I've got three weeks left of work and it's totally kicking my butt.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week? I got all of his clothes washed yesterday and started organizing the items we got from our shower. I'd like to finish that up and also pull out and wash the mamaroo, bassinet, and rock n play bedding/covering items. I'm also hoping to complete our registry purchases in the next couple days. I keep remembering different things we still need, so I keep adding to it hoping that'll be it, then I remember something else.

How big is baby? Double cantaloupes
Any appointments this week? Tomorrow I have a growth scan and BPP with MFM. Friday I have my OB appt.
How are you feeling? Miserable; especially with the constant belly button pain.
Vents/questions/concerns: Raving because this week will be my last week commuting into the office. Nervous because we need more time to get things together, but I can't imagine being pregnant for another 4 weeks max.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week? I think getting DD's crib set up and their clothes washed would probably be enough. I also need to seriously pack my hospital bag.

How far along are you? 33 w 3 d
How big is baby? Head of celery.
Any appointments this week? Weekly non stress test Wednesday
How are you feeling? Blah. Today is a day when he has fewer movements and it's driving me batty. He still makes 10 in 2 hrs but much less than usual. I've noticed he has a growth spurt about every 8 or 9 days and is quiet for two days before coming back bigger and stronger but the worry won't listen to reason. Back is hurting more and more feet swelling.
Vents/questions/concerns: We had to put my 20 year old cat down Saturday, which was really sad. She was an awesome cat--the best. She developed stage 4 kidney failure and started to be in constant pain so we had to take her in. I've been cranky and (more) irrational since then. Dh laughed at my swollen feet (which are quite funny tbh) and I ran away to sulk.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week?
The only thing I've done is pull out newborn clothes to wash. I need to buy a few things but put a moratorium on myself until I wrote thank you notes for my sprinkle. So, I'll write thank you notes, lol.

How big is baby?
A ferret
Any appointments this week?
Starting weekly NSTs and OB appointments this Wednesday
How are you feeling?
Overall not too bad. Still achy in my hips and pelvis but I'm learning to deal with it. I also get tired pretty quickly which sucks cuz I have so much to do.
Vents/questions/concerns:
Nothing that I can think of atm.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week?
I'd really love to just put the finishing touches on the nursery. We're very close to done so it would be nice to just be able to check that off the list.

thinkchocolate05, I'm so sorry about your kitty, I lost mine to kidney failure too a few years ago when pregnant with my first. It was so heartbreaking and difficult to go through. Big hugs

Any appointments this week? No, next week. C-section is scheduled for 8/16.
How are you feeling? Huge, big, stuffed, full. I regularly have difficulty breathing, my pelvis is starting hurt when I get up to walk. I can't really get comfortable when I'm sitting or laying down.
Vents/questions/concerns: I got a hemorrhoid last week out of nowhere.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week?
We really need to pull all the baby stuff out of the closet and wash the first three months of clothes. We also need to make a list of things to buy: diapers, bottles, etc. I think we want to at least make some purchases at Target to get the $20 gift card.

Oh I just thought of a question. I'm hopping to breastfeed and pump when I have to go back to school (2 days a week for a couple hours), so I can have some frozen for MH or my mom, whoever is watching her when I'm gone. Assuming, I'm able to do that, how many bottles do I really need and what size?

Assuming, I'm able to do that, how many bottles do I really need and what size? Depending on how soon you'd start bottle feeding, you may want to get a couple 4 oz bottles and then the rest 8 oz. We used the 4 oz ones for the first 2-3 months if I remember correctly. I exclusively pumped, so we invested in several bottles because it was such a pain to constantly be washing/sanitizing them.

We only had like 6 of the 5oz tommee tippee bottles and she was eating about 3 bottles a day and that was working an 8 hr shift. Of course every baby is so different and this one could hate the same bottles I have lol |

Do I need to pre-wash all the crib sheets and swaddle blankets, too? I would say yes, especially if new to get the production chemicals off of them. |

Finally can check in since I'm on desktop. I have no idea how to copy/paste in tapa
How far along are you? 34+1
How big is baby? A cabbage
Any appointments this week? Yes, friday afternoon then they said maybe weekly after that but I will be right on the cusp so we'll see.
How are you feeling? Like everyone else, pretty shitty! Sleeping horribly and my stomach has been a mess. My back is starting to really ache.
Vents/questions/concerns: The random comments are really annoying. Its funny because some people comment that I'm huge like for instance, I was taking a walk with my Gram outside and this lady at the place pipes up "are you walking yourself into labor"? LOL no asshole, still too early! Then others are like "wow you are all belly and look great" so people are just idiotic I guess. I'm also losing steam at work and have to keep going and train my coverage which is at the bottom of my list to care about right now.
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week? Get the bureau built so I can get some of the clothes washed and put away.

Everything should be washed, but I wouldn't wash everything so you can return stuff that you realize you don't need. I got four crib sheets, but returned two since we didn't need them. We went three years only using two crib sheets.

We went three years only using two crib sheets. Yeah this is a really good point with seeing what you will actually use. Same here with 2 crib sheets |

How big is baby? A kid's backpack

How are you feeling? Is it August yet?? 😣
Vents/questions/concerns: I am deep in the throes of a cold. Why are summer colds always so much worse than winter ones?
QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week? I started sorting through and washing clothes yesterday, so I want to finish that. Nursery is just about done but I want to put the finishing touches on it.

How far along are you? 33+6 How big is baby? Cauliflower Any appointments this week? Not until next Friday How are you feeling? Fairly good except for getting up to pee a lot at night. I'm starting to get tired easily but otherwise I'm ok. Vents/questions/concerns: I've been worried about the amount of clothing I have but today my parents randomly came down (they live 2 1/2 hours away) but they weren't watching my little cousin today because they are on vacation so they called this morning to see if they could come down for lunch. They took me out to lunch then to the mall. They bought me about $75 in baby clothes all sizes 0-3 and 3-6 which I was seriously lacking in. I feel so much better about the whole clothing situation now. Also, they brought a huge box from my cousin of baby stuff she is done with (her daughter is 10 months). QOTW: What's at least one thing you hope to accomplish on the baby front this week? Buying everything else I need. I've been Priming today and have a list of stuff to get at BRU and Target. I want to purchase it all by Fridaay. thinkchocolate05, I'm sorry about your cat. My baby also has some quiet days. Today was one and of course my parents were dying to feel him move. FInally after 20 minutes or so of poking and moving around they felt him and were pretty excited about it. |

So I just spent $700 on baby gear. I spent about $350 at BRU (they are having a 20% off sale) which was all gift cards that we received so I'm feeling good about that. Then I spent about $350 on Amazon. I spent $100 yesterday during Prime Day (got the monitor we wanted half off + some bottles + a few other little things) then I used my completion discount to get our stroller, Diaper Genie, socks, hats, etc. Now I just need to make a Target order for the remaining items and we'll be finished!
