How far along are you? 34 weeks Wednesday
Appointments coming up? 34 week appointment tomorrow.
How are you feeling? As unpleasant as it was the stomach bug made me feel less full and miserable. Other than that just large. It takes me a second to get up now from lounging around. LOL
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I need to ask about/get my flu shot tomorrow. If anything changes, I'll report back but I'm not expecting anything to pop up.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? I don't know. I need inspiration. Last year we did the cutest family costume. We were a maine lobsterman, cook, and dd was a lobster. Dh is from Maine. This year we have yet to plan anything. We may just end up dressing dd this year. I'll probably keep my largely pregant self at home and hand out/eat the candy.

How far along are you? 32+3
Appointments coming up? Nope
How are you feeling? Ok considering. Nothing too unmanageable yet.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Got my flu shot and cervix is still nice and closed and baby is still head down so good news all around!
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? I don't know yet.
I have no say over the older boys anymore, but they always pick something gross or scary.
Going to pick up costumes this Friday since they have off of school.

How far along are you? 32W tomorrow Appointments coming up? 32 week apt with sono tomorrow How are you feeling? excited to see little man tomorrow via sono and freaked that we will be having a baby next month. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? might have something after tomorrows apt.? QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? We don't dress up really; just pass out candy. DS is not a big fan of costumes yet and hates being messy so face paint is out... I think we will just throw some Halloween PJ's on him and take him to just a handful of houses. When he is really into Halloween I will play along and start dressing up as whatever he wants with him!  |

33 weeks
Today I have an ob appointment. Last week was the ultrasound with the high risk doctor. Everything looked good! He said the baby was a little small though.
My legs are huge. I am so tired. I am hoping this cooler weather helps. The summer was brutal. I am a little worried about depression/anxiety starting up. I had it with my daughter during the pregnancy and after. I have had more anxiety recently and I can't control it as well.
Baby looked good. I think it is a girl. I peeked at the ultrasound for a second and didn't see a boy part.
I think my son should be boss baby. Haha. Not sure about my daughter. I need to ask her.

How far along are you? 35 weeks 1 day Appointments coming up? Tomorrow. How are you feeling? Tired and sore. I got into bed the other night and sighed. DH commented on it and I said seriously this is the only time of day when I do not have 20+ extra lbs weighing down my front. It takes a toll on your body. Baby was having a party way too close to my cervix last night. So much lightening crotch. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'll update tomorrow if there's anything QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? DS is going to be a chef. I have some cute Halloween themed onsies for baby if s/he is born then. I won't be dressing up. |

How far along are you? 35 weeks
Appointments coming up? In the waiting room for a BPP and OB appt now
How are you feeling? It depends. Out of breath a lot, uncomfortable, sleep is hit or miss.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? If the girls are born now, they and I can stay at the local hospital instead of 90 mins away (unless there are complications). I'm so excited about this.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? Last I heard the big kids wants to be Trolls characters with DD as Poppy and DS as Branch. We'll see. The little kids will be two weeks old by then!!

How far along are you? 33w2d Appointments coming up? Blood draw, BPP, shot, and growth scan on Thursday. I see my OB next week. How are you feeling? My itching came pack this weekend after a few days of respite. My body officially breaks down around 4-5pm and I am useless the rest of the night. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Induction date November 1! Though my bile salts are rising, so possibly sooner  QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween?

How far along are you? 35w5d
Appointments coming up? I leave in about 15 mins for an ultrasound and my 35 week appt. Not sure if I am getting an nst, since I'll be doing the ultrasound.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. The itching has lessened a lot and thanks to my friend Benadryl I'm sleeping again at night. I do have this pain my my crotch that makes it difficult to walk. Almost feels like her skull is grinding some bone down there.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Diagnosed with ICP last week and still on track to have her next Monday. I'm curious to find out about how big she is today. Dd1 was only 6lbs11oz at 39 weeks, so that makes me a bit nervous.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? DD1 will be Poppy from Trolls, DD2 will be a pumpkin and I will be a mom trying to keep her shit together.

How far along are you? 34 + 5 Appointments coming up? Regular dr's appointment tomorrow, along with another NST later in the week. How are you feeling? Overall, I still feel good. I'm definitely starting to feel pressure from baby A sitting low. Also having some twinges of pain around the abdomen, but no real contractions (that I know of!) Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing new yet - getting impatient for next week's ultrasound/growth scan to see how big the babies are. QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? DS probably will be a baseball player - at least, that was his last request (he's 2.5, so we just have to keep convincing him of that). I'm hopeful he sticks with it b/c it's so easy. We're going to order him a jersey a size up (for layering under/to fit for next baseball season), and pair it with his sweats, a high pair of socks, and the hat / baseball glove he already has. The twins will be here by Halloween and I bought them ghost sleepers. DH and I are not big on dressing up, although given the twins will be days old, I'm thinking I'll look like a zombie |

How far along are you? 34+6 Appointments coming up? Had one this morning. It was boring. Introduced to the new MW student. I got to do my own GBS swap, so that was nice... How are you feeling? Good-ish. Starting to get to the tired stage now I think. No aches or pains though at least. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I have officially gained 30 lbs. Read some of my mom's pregnancy notes from when she was pregnant with me and she gained 35 in the end, so I'm on track for that. Also, she woke up in labour at 2:30am and I was born at 3:23am  QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? I think I'll probably skip dressing up this year. Maybe a pumpkin face on a shirt or something, but I'm not going to plan anything elaborate, just in case! We will hand out candy though. |

How far along are you? 35+3
Appointments coming up? Next week.
How are you feeling? I'm cranky today for no apparent reason but besides that ok, just uncomfortable.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not much, had the swab done. OB told me baby's head is engaged in my pelvis already. So yay for head down!
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? I have no idea, I'm slacking. I might just see if DD's monkey costume fits from last year. I kind of want to dress up or paint my belly like pumpkin but I'm not sure.

How far along are you? 33w2d
Appointments coming up? Just had OB appointment today
How are you feeling? Pretty decent I suppose. Contractions are better some days than others.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I got the ok to be done with my Makena shots at 34w4d, so that means just this week and next left! Everyone is being super casual with any issues I have been having and I think it is because they fully expect me to go early and as I mentioned in the randoms, they won't stop labor at 34 weeks anyway so whatever happens, happens at this point.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? DS has a llama costume (that he insists is a sheep) and a shark. Llama will be for daycare, shark for actual Halloween. H wanted to do a Jaws theme. He said he would be the mayor of Amity Island, DS as Jaws, and I could be the boat. Hardy har har. Fat jokes are abounding at our house lately. Clearly my only (and the only acceptable) response was "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

35+2 today, whaaaaaat.
Ultrasound tomorrow. No OB appointment until the 13th.
Feeling pretty good still. Sore ribs by the end of the day and that weird abdominal pain, but during the day I feel great, which is amazing. I have gotten so used to the contractions all the time that I don't even really notice any more. Everyone at work will not stop talking about how good I look/seem like I'm feeling. That makes me feel reassured.
No new info on baby. Maybe tomorrow? Who knows!
DD is being Elsa for Halloween, which came as no surprise. Her grandparents are taking her out.

How far along are you? 35+2
Appointments coming up? Hematologist on Wednesday, I think. OB on the 10th.
How are you feeling? Good. Tired. Things are getting harder to do, but I really can’t complain.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Not really. Induction should be scheduled soon for 39w-ish.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? I’m anticipating being in the hospital. No dressing up for me, but I’ll probably get a Halloween onesie for the baby in case she’s here. No other littles.

How far along are you? 33+2
Appointments coming up? Next Thursday
How are you feeling? Fucking pregnant. I've always been a good pregnant sleeper, my body just caves to the exhaustion. But the last few nights, not so much anymore. The discomfort is finally surpassing the exhaustion, which makes me more exhausted.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I'm meeting one of my practice doctirs for the first time next week. i was scheduled to meet her last time at my 37w appointment but I never made it. And now I'm meeting her finally. that's probably good.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? H bought E a witch costume today because she's obsessed with them. Maybe I'll be a cauldron.

How far along are you? 34+2
Appointments coming up? Not till next week
How are you feeling? Eh. Crotch/pelvis hurts. By the end of the work day I can barely walk. Sleeping is hard and uncomfortable. The acid part of the acid reflux is under control, but the actual reflux still happens most of the time I try to lie down. But otherwise okay? Lol.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Got my flu shot. Otherwise an uneventful appt on Thursday.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? DD is going to be Rocky from Paw Patrol. I am not sure if H has a plan or if he will repeat being Captain Turbot. If I go out, I will just be Mayor Goodway again I think. Likely a very pregnant one. But it totally depends on the status of my ute. If I stay home and pass out candy, I may sit outside on the porch so I don't have to keep getting up.

If I stay home and pass out candy, I may sit outside on the porch so I don't have to keep getting up. This is my plan. We actually do this every year so the doorbell doesn't keep DD awake and/or we don't have to get up. This year, I plan to set up a cozy nook with a camping chair, hot chocolate, possibly a squishy newborn, and some treats so I don't just steal from the bowl all night. |

How far along are you? 33w3d
Appointments coming up? Next week Wednesday
How are you feeling? Okay overall. My back hurts really bad if I do too much activity/walking, I'm getting random BH contractions and pelvic pressure, and I have to pee every time I stand up. I swear I go to the bathroom 38487372772 times a day.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I already talked about this in randoms last week but baby was breech. I feel like he's moved around some since then, but I'm completely clueless to how he's actually positioned. Will have to schedule a c-section if he's still breech at my next appt.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? DS is going to be a red power ranger. I'm not dressing up, but I hope that I'm still pregnant and able to waddle down the street while DS and his cousins TOT.

pootsen, if it's any consolation, DD was breech at 36 weeks and measuring 41 weeks... and she flipped. Without me feeling ANYTHING. I hope yours turns around for you in time!

How far along are you? 35+2
Appointments coming up? Midwife tomorrow
How are you feeling? I'm ok, heart burn is still there, hips and pelvis still hurt. Peeing all day and night. But I'm in a good mood today lol
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Yes - I'm officially going to be induced. And I won't go over 39 weeks. It'll either be between 37.5-38.5 weeks. That'll be confirmed and I'll get a date on October 16th. Crazy.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? #2 will be here on Halloween 100%, so I will get a little onsie that says my first Halloween, like DS had. We don't really do Halloween, DS isn't old enough to understand it, but I'll get him an outfit, just for pictures lol. I have no idea what though lol

My only really interesting tidbits to update with from the ultrasound today are that my kid is huge (his head is measuring 39w4d with 4.5 weeks to go, RIP lady parts) and I think he has DH's nose, which is uuuuunfortunate. Although to be fair I have no idea what DH's nose would look like if it hadn't been broken.
She measured my amniotic fluid volume but they don't give me the paper report so all I know are the numbers, not what they mean. Shruggy guy. There's nowhere near as much as last time, so likely not polyhydramnios again.
Feeling 10000000x better about things this morning because baby is growing fine. I can stop panicking about my lack of weight gain and weird fundal height measurements now and just chill. My BP sucks still, but I'm giving it a few days before I call my OB. Maybe I'm coming down with something.

misskilljoy what was your number? I remember last time mine was hovering between like 28-30 which was on the low end of high. At my last appt it was 14 which is considered normal. I think they use cubic centimeters/mL so hopefully there is no Canadian conversion needed, haha. Also yay for a healthy growing baby!

I think they use cubic centimeters/mL so hopefully there is no Canadian conversion needed, haha. Also yay for a healthy growing baby! I did a bit of Googling and the numbers I have are useless because it depends on what method she was using. She took two measurements which were perpendicular to each other, which doesn't match with the more common method of determining AFV, so I have released it. XD The pocket she measured was 1.03 x 3.06 cm. Which tells me nothing! ETA: It could have been the "single pocket" method or it could have been the "two-diameter" method. The former would have been normal, the latter would have been low. At this point, baby is big enough and I am far enough along that if they decided to deliver early, I am very... *shrug* I'd like him to stay in as long as possible to grow, but I'm already 35.5 weeks, so I'm feeling very much at peace with whatever that measurement means! |

No real updates from my appointment. My ob will do a cervix check if I want or there's a compelling medical reason to do one. So basically all I need to do is ask, but I'm good for a couple more weeks Baby is still head down and heartbeat sounds good. I set up my appointments for the next 4 weeks. Crazy! He asked if I was ready for baby, and I said nope. We have all the stuff but mentally I'm not there yet and baby still has some time to cook. |

MH asked me yesterday what we still needed to do before DS gets here and I told him to shut up because it stressed me out to talk about. I'm not doing great with hormones at the end of the day, haha. I'll be better after this week when I'm done this first unit of my course AND my IEPs AND it's Thanksgiving. XD I am not ready for this baby, but at the same time, I am super ready for this baby. |

How far along are you? 33w2d
Appointments coming up? I had my biweekly yesterday, all was good
How are you feeling? tired. I have a cold thanks to my son. I just got over a sinus infection too, I feel like I can't catch a break
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? None, it was boring. I had to see a different doc because mine was out on an emergency call in L&D.
QOTW: Now that it is October, what are you and/or your littles dressing up as for Halloween? For some random reason my H picked a Yoda outfit for our about to be 2yr old. We aren't really Star Wars fans so I found it strange. I wanted him to be a dino since he is SO into them right now. But the Yoda outfit is cute. DS won't wear a hat and we keep trying to put the Yoda head piece on and he tears it right off. Guess we'll see if things change by Halloween.
