bubbles, I'm sorry about your grandfather. It's a hard thing to transition from independence to not as much. We just did this with my grandmother.

Had a growth scan today. Tech said she's measuring at about 6lbs 4oz, but that's just an estimate and can be up to a half pound less. Everything else looks to be on the high end of normal. Though I thought I saw that her head was measuring at 37-38wks, which I'm not here for. Baby girl also has a lot of hair.
For reference, DS was born at 33w6d, which is tomorrow for me, and weighed 5lbs 4oz. DD was 5lbs 14oz at 34w5d. IT'S FINE. THIS IS FINE.

Well, at my appointment today I had my butt swabbed and my cervix checked, yay. I'm not dilated any more than I was three months ago, so the girls are sitting tight. Here's Baby B, looking like her big brother-

Have we discussed the Owlet? I was hell bent on getting it, but now I’m waffling. Anyone have it? I’ve done so much research and it’s not helping me make a decision.

bubbles, sorry to hear about your grandfather! Not sure who recommended the nightgowns from Target (and am too lazy to go back and search), but a huge thank you!! So soft and comfortable!! I also picked up a robe for the hospital that was lighter weight (mine are all terry/heavy) and covers my rear so I can get out of bed without flashing everyone! Finally, I'm ready to not get asked everyday when I am due / have to deal with questions from strangers. Getting a pedicure and have fielded a lot of questions already. Just want to sit in peace please! It was me!! Target should pay me for praising this item as much as I do. I'm so glad you checked them out. Thank you!!! I bought 2 and am considering more - it's the most comfortable thing I've worn in ages! Plus, I didn't feel like a whale in it.

We didn't have anything like this with DS and won't be getting it for this baby. Baby sleeps next to me in a co-sleeper and I sleep like crap for the first couple months anyway. I think this would make me (more) paranoid. That being said, if your baby has any medical issues, I could see this being helpful/reassuring. So I guess my answer is that I would get it if baby had some breathing issues or was in the NICU for something that this could alert me to, otherwise, I'd pass.

My sister came over and helped me haul out all the baby clothes and organize and sort. We pulled out the newborn boy and girl clothes and gender neutral. I'll wash a few sleepers of each so I have something ready. Now I at least know where it is when the time comes.

We aren't having the owlet or anything like it.
It would make me so incredibly paranoid (H would be 10x worse)
Baby always sleeps in their Moses basket right next to our bed until they out grow it, and then into their cot. Which again is still in our room, and will be until they start sleeping through the night and then they will go in DS's room which will become their room

fancy I've heard mixed reviews that it gives a lot of false readings. I'd be afraid that it would worry me unnecessarily.

I get my induction date next Monday after my 37 week growth scan. I keep sending positive thoughts to her to not have a massive growth spurt and then be like 9lb at 37 weeks as c'mon give me a chance What is it with this BMB making big babies they all just need to calm down

He ended up being 8.5 lbs. those estimates can be totally off too.

They were bang on with DS, measuring 6lb 9oz at 34 weeks, they said by 40 weeks he should be nearing or over 9lbs. Born 40+2, 9lb 10oz Didn't remotely take their estimated birth weight seriously, but when H told me how much he weighed I was like.... oh, right then lol

I don't have much to add today. Bless you with big babies though. My guess is ds will be somewhere between 7.5 and 8 lbs but I could be completely wrong.

I couldn't convince DH to see it/rent it. It's pretty good so far. A lot of it is verbatim from the original animated movie. Emma Watson can actually sing (and you can tell it's her voice). I appreciate the relationship between Gaston & LeFou the most so far lol.

She took a lot of voice lessons and as long as she has a decent speaking voice, you can generally train someone to sing and sound halfway decent. She's no Idina Menzel though. ETA "generally" ... DH has a hopeless singing voice and a decent speaking voice. Not that he's ever taken voice lessons.

It's her singing but the auto tune work is...interesting. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it, but not sure why they casted someone who can't actually sing. Kwim?

It is interesting that the other main roles are actors with a bit more singing experience.

thatgolfb I had a firm bulge at the top with DD who was breech. I definitely felt like she was breech the whole time. There were hiccups at the top this morning so I am still leaning toward breech over here!

librarylady I am way behind so I apologize for my late questions. Will your DD not be able to visit you in the hospital? We are keeping DD on her school/day care schedule but she will also be able to visit while I'm in the hospital.

Gaston was my favorite part of the new version. I'm not sure what that says about me.

mrspiatt thanks for the thoughts! I think we are leaning towards having her miss. I wish we could have A at the hospital but the hospital bans all younger siblings under 12 from visiting. I literally won't get to see her until I'm discharged ☹️ Oh see, I should have kept reading! I just realized my hospital may do this if it is during flu season, which is may well be.

It never occurred to me that they may not allow DS to come to the hospital. I probably need to check on that. I will be sad if he can't come visit and meet his brother.
