Appointments coming up? Next monday will be my 36 week appointment the it's weekly appointments for me.

QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? Cuddles and hopefully lots of sleeping in the very beginning if I'm lucky!

How far along are you? 36+1 Appointments coming up? Weekly midwife on Friday... which MIGHT be my last midwife. I'm getting second to last though. How are you feeling? Large and in charge. Heartburn is the main struggle. Carpal tunnel during the day, I don't want to wear my brace (day time) as it's quite restricting. Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing that you guys don't know about QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? The fact that they stay still, lol. And the smell. Omg I can't wait to just sit there holding her, with her head under my chin and just breathe her in.

How far along are you? 36 weeks

How are you feeling? Ok unless I overdo it. I just did some grocery shopping and am ready for a nap.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? The hospital was overbooked on my original date, so they bumped me up to MONDAY first thing!! I'll have babies before the West Coasters are waking up 10/16.

paperbagliz, scribbles TWINS on calendar for 10/16. YAY 1 week! Pencil it in for 10/18- they just called back to change it. Apparently they can't deliver two sets of twins in one day, so we got bumped. I'm a little annoyed.

How far along are you? 34w3d
Appointments coming up? Wednesday with my midwife. It’s just a check up. Nothing exciting happening that I know of.
How are you feeling? I’m okay as long as I don’t do too much physically. Emotionally, I’m kind of up and down. Very excited for baby to come but also feeling nervous and not ready. And don’t get me started about DS- I broke down in tears yesterday because he’s so sweet and even though he knows about his baby brother coming, he doesn’t fully grasp how much things are going to change. I feel like we’re about to rock his world and he doesn’t even know it 😩
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nope, I’ll update on Wednesday.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? Definitely the sleepy snuggles and also breastfeeding. It didn’t work out so well with DS but I feel like I know what I’m doing this time so I’m excited to see how this baby takes to it.

How far along: 34+2
Appointments: OB check and gbs on Thursday. I'll ask for a cervical check too since she'll already be down there, because contractions and weird leak thing this morning.
How are you feeling: over it. My sleep is awful, I hurt, I'm soooo exhausted all the time. Two more weeks then this kid can come whenever.
Updates and tidbits: nothing at the moment.
QOTW: snuggles for sure. And finally meeting this squirmy gal.

Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? I had the swab done, I'm hoping it was negative since I haven't heard anything.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? The snuggles and newborn smell! I'm also excited to see how DD1 reacts to having a baby sister.

paperbagliz , scribbles TWINS on calendar for 10/16. YAY 1 week! Pencil it in for 10/18- they just called back to change it. Apparently they can't deliver two sets of twins in one day, so we got bumped. I'm a little annoyed. Tell them to bump the other lady instead because you have to have your babies on the same day as the birthday of an internet stranger on your mom forums. I'm sure they won't think you're crazy.

How far along are you? 36+3 in about two hours.
Appointments coming up? Friday morning, which is weird. They're usually Monday but because of the holiday, it's at the end of the week this time. Just a boring old regular OB visit.
How are you feeling? Marginally better. I may have gotten my BP down to a reasonable level that my OB will ignore through sitting around doing nothing (but I go back to work tomorrow, so...). Lots of BH, though. So many. I've been trying to avoid caffeine due to the effects on BP readings and it just gives me awful headaches to do that with no appreciable difference, so... no more of that.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing! Nada! I haven't had an appointment in a while. No calls re: growth scan so presumably everything was fine.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? Mostly just not being pregnant any more. And also having an excuse to sit around with a sleeping baby on me.

Update: I'm 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. Baby is engaged. The doc was surprised i was that dilated/effaced. Y'all, I'm freaking out a little bit. These were my stats with ds and he was born 3 days later.

How far along are you? 34w3d
Appointments coming up? Last shot tomorrow! Growth scan at MFM Friday.
How are you feeling? Loaded question today. Physically I am fine mostly but feeling really huge and the pains that go along with that. Mentally I am in a super weird place today. This is the GA that I had DS1. I am scared and nervous and would really, really like to make it another week at least. I am also having a lot of second time mom guilt, that I think goes hand in hand with the day.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? Nothing I haven't already updated. Just hanging out and playing the waiting game.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? I really don't like the newborn stage. FFTC? I like the cuddles but I am guessing that is going to be a bit different this time around with a toddler in tow.

roloma, we can sit on the anti-newborn stage bench together. I'm not a fan either.

How far along are you? 35 weeks and 6 days
Appointments coming up? Another NST on Thursday, but this one is followed by my final growth scan. Regular Dr. on Friday.
How are you feeling? Like my uterus cannot stretch any further. With DS, my bump had soft spots (where he wasn't). With the twins, it's firmer - babies are everywhere!
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? This final growth scan will help us decide whether to choose the C-section / if induction is an option. I'm also really curious how big they are!
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? I do love the newborn snuggles and all the little clothes. But I'm also looking forward to wine and sushi!

How far along are you? 35w4d
Appointments coming up? Thursday. Getting my GBS swab, oh boy.
How are you feeling? Big and pregnant. I'm having lots of BH contractions which are annoying. I'm trying to get stuff done around the house and find I need to take breaks or else they just keep happening.
Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? My OB said she'll do a membrane sweep at 39 weeks if I'm dilated and want one, but otherwise won't induce for a large baby. I'm thinking I'll go for it but we'll see when the time comes.
QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? I don't know, I'm kind of dreading it. I don't do well on little sleep. I guess I'll go with the sweet snuggles.

How far along are you? 36w today Appointments coming up? MW next Monday. Not sure what will happen at that appt, maybe she might check my cervix? I think after that I'll finally go to weekly appts. How are you feeling? Good. Tired, but otherwise my body is okay. It seems the milestones are going slowly now and I'm looking for anything to get excited about: 1 month left, 4 weeks left... then awhile to last day of work And that's all if she comes on my due date! Any updates/interesting tidbits from recent appointments? You guys reminded me to check my lab results and I seem to be GBS +, so that kind of sucks? I forget what the MW said will happen and how it'll effect my labour. I'll need IV antibiotics, right? And I maybe have to get to the hospital earlier? I'll ask next week. QOTW: What are you most looking forward to about the newborn stage? Cuddles! And watching DH be a total suck with her and me. OMG grumpycat, that is exciting! All the scheduled births are exciting, but impending labour is like ahhhhh!!!
