I'm also going to post tonight.

34 weeks, 1 day. Friday, I had some bad cramping so I worked from home. I've been crampy on and off all weekend. (Although, today is better than Friday or Saturday.) I called the doctor and they said it's probably just increased Braxton Hicks. The reglan is helping (although not curing) the vomiting. Tomorrow, I have my 34 week OB appointment and a NST.

I finished buying the last few things we needed this weekend- shelves for the baby's room, a table for next to the glider, towels, changing pad covers, clothes, some toys. (Pottery Barn Kids was 20% off!) Today, I washed the baby's clothes and took inventory. We still need more basics.

Ooh- I forgot a question of the week. I'll go add one.

[glb30]

. I hope you are feeling okay, and the work stress works itself out. And I hope the work shower is fun, and not awkward. Are you feeling better? (From the flu..)

[dukegirlsc]

glb30 thanks for the check in!

33w1d here, we had our first NST last week and both babies look good. We have an induction date of 3/13 if nothing happens before then. My OB seems to think that I'm going to make it to 37 weeks so I am going with that and praying she is right! The next NST is Thursday. I bought the remainder of our items off our registry last week so we are just waiting on all of those things to arrive to organize, wash and put away. Other than that I'm going to pack the hospital bag before the NST on Thursday but we are almost logistically ready! I just need to wrap up things at work before March 1. Maybe between now and then I can become mentally ready for these babies!

38+4 here, dealing with heartburn and now a cold which is taking a lot out of me. As of Friday, I am not dilated at all and this little guy is all snuggled in my ribs. I have another cervix check on Friday. Mostly everything is done except for hanging some stuff on the walls.

QOTW: DH's plans are for me to not go into labor. How romantic.

[turquoisequeen]

37+1 and so glad I made it to full term this time. Had my final OB appt and nst this morning. Only at 1.5 cm so had membrane stripping done which will hopefully make induction a little easier. I cannot believe it's almost here.

QOTW: nope other than last minute baby prep/hospital prep.

glb30 good luck at your appt!

. I think some extra downtime before baby would be worth it if you can swing it!

jennykat that race sounds super stressful and annoying. I hope the contractions die down and you are pregnant many more weeks.

dukegirlsc glad the babies look good and you are getting things ready!

crazycatlady6 ugh colds while pregnant stink. Hope you are well soon!

[tiresiastheblond]

turquoisequeen , congrats on making it to full term and on being so close to meeting her!
crazycatlady6 , Ugh, a cold and heartburn are too much at once. Feel better!
dukegirlsc , So exciting to have an induction date! And I'm glad it looks like you'll make it to 37 weeks!
jennykat , I hope your baby listens to you and stays put until April! I'm sorry for the uncertainty.
. , Sorry about the work stress and planning hassles. So many hard decisions!
glb30 , I'm so sorry you're still feeling nauseated. My third tri was like that too, especially toward the end. Unfair! Sounds like the nursery, etc, is coming along!

AFM, Sorry for being MIA even for me, but I.ris Ca.trin was born February 1 via VBAC--yay! She's tiny (5 lbs, 15 oz at birth) but seems to be very healthy. She's a super-easy baby so far, and I'm just so happy she's finally here. Even though I still can't quite believe it.

ETA: it won't let me embed or attach a picture.

tiresiastheblond - congrats on your baby girl!!!

[dukegirlsc]

tiresiastheblond Congratulations on your sweet girl!

[turquoisequeen]

tiresiastheblond yay yay yay! Congrats on baby girl!

[glb30]

jennykat, The general feeling on the IF boards right now is not great one- totally get it. I am sorry if I missed something, but why do they think your baby will be early?

., I am so sorry for the work anxiety. I had that in first tri and it.was.awful. I ended up switching jobs and I am much happier! I hope the shower isn't too awkward. And I hope your doctor starts your leave early for you.

@dancerspose congrats!!!

tiresiastheblond, yay! congrats on your baby girl and a successful VBAC.

turquoisequeen,Congrats on making it to term! When is the induction?

crazycatlady6,I hope at Friday's appointment you have started dilating. And I hope the cold kicks it and fast!

dukegirlsc, I am so glad both littles looked good on the NST!

[glb30]

jennykat I'm sorry. All of that is rough. I also suffer from anxiety, so you have all of my sympathies. I'm glad you lost the race though- haha.

[turquoisequeen]

Hi ladies, baby girl Cla.ire arrived yesterday around 2:30pm. 6lbs 19.25 in. Induction actually went pretty smoothly. I'll post a birth story on paif in the next day but so far we are all doing well!
