QOTW: Anyone making any New Year's Resolutions? 

[roeni]

Well...my baby has arrived! Last night I woke up around 10pm and my water had broken in my sleep. I went to the hospital and had my baby girl at 3:49 am at 37w4d. She is in nicu due to fluid in lungs and I haven't even gotten to hold her or see that much.

Congrats! I hope her NICU stay is short and you get to hold her again soon.

Congratulations roeni! I hope everything clears up soon and your baby is out of the NICU and in your arms!

@wineandcupcakes FX you can keep those babies cooking at least another month!

32w6d here. I'm finally hitting that sleeping wall - exhausted but can't fall and/or stay asleep. I don't have the heart to tell DH it's worse when he's home (he works every 4th night) because he gives off so much heat and I can't use all the pillows plus my snoogle. Normally I love having my own personal heater under the covers with me, but with the random hot flashes...doesn't work for me.

No appointments this week, but I did cave and call my OB's on call line for the first time last night. I was worried I'd passed my mucus plug. I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it, but at my appointment last week the OB specifically asked if I thought I'd passed any plugs so it seemed important...but no contractions or blood so all was well. The doc really kind and understanding too, which is always good.

Other than that, I need to suck it up and order all the furniture and such this week. I keep putting it off because of the $, but the reality that in a few days we'll be having a baby "next month" is slowly creeping in on me. Plus it's just making me crazy not to have the nursery done.

QOTW - I don't generally believe in NY resolutions because I feel like you shouldn't wait until a specific time of year to make changes you want to motivate yourself to make, but I will have to put getting back into shape at the top of my 2017 list somehow. After all the IF treatments I was not in the shape I wanted to be when I got pregnant so it's going to be a tough battle to get to where I want to be.

Congrats roeni ! Hope the nicu stay is short!

Getting excited! There are not many weeks to go.
Can't believe I am like 3rd on the list now!!!! Eek!
Baby is big and very low, OB removed my reduced activity restrictions so my plan is to start walking again and get my activity level back up a bit.

QOTW: I don't normally make any, but I know getting back in shape after baby is born will be a priority, so let's say that

[turquoisequeen]

Congrats roeni hope you are snuggling her very soon!

30+3 regular check up tomorrow but we will be discussing the plan for twice weekly nsts/bpps starting very soon due to ICP. I failed my 1 hr glucose test but convinced them to let me do finger sticks for a week instead of the 3 hr and so far every reading is normal so happy about that.

QOTW: healthy baby! Would love to make it to 37w or as close to that as possible. Also want to do everything I can to encourage a better sleeping newborn/infant. DS was a terrible sleeper in his first several months.
