Weeks/Size of Baby: 32w4d / bento box

Symptoms: Awful indigestion 24/7, crampy pain in upper left abdomen, most activity gets me out of breath

Appointments: Normal bi-weekly next Thursday

To Do's: Ordered new car seat and stroller frame so waiting for those to come. Still need to arrange the nursery and put away clothes. Waiting on my BBB completion coupon so we can go shopping.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: H got all of the baby stuff out of the attic and decided to pile it all in the nursery, which makes it very difficult to get anything done in there since there are boxes and disassembled baby gear blocking the closet. I walk in the room and walk out because I feel so overwhelmed.

QOTW: In honor of pi day yesterday, what is your favorite kind of pie? Can be sweet or savory. If you can't choose..name your top 3. It really depends on my mood but my 2 favorite are Dutch apple pie and coconut cream pie. Pumpkin pie is also up there but only at Thanksgiving/Christmas.

[hpnegirl]

PirateCat I'm the same way with motivation...

And on the weekends, I'm like "i want to work on the nursery during nap time," and then nap time happens and I'm like "a nap sounds good..."

[ThankfulSnail]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 35w/coconut

Symptoms: Painful jabbing. Heartburn. Breathlessness. Super warm and sweaty all the time. So with all that combined, obviously general attractiveness as well.

Appointments: 3/22, OB appt for HB, check positioning (u/s if not 100% sure baby is head down), strep B test, and possible cervical check if I don't refuse, haven't decided yet.

-Install infant car seat bases in both cars
-Wash Boppy cover
-Waterproof our mattress & my car in case my water breaks
-Move crib up to the highest level
-Pack hospital bag

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I am more superstitious than I thought. I've been reading motivational mantras to use during labor and after repeating stuff in my head like, "open," or "baby down," I always go back and make myself think something like, "close" or "stay, baby" because otherwise I think I'm going to think myself into labor, I guess? If only it was that easy, right?

QOTW: In honor of pi day yesterday, what is your favorite kind of pie? Can be sweet or savory. If you can't choose..name your top 3. I love baking so all my favorites are ones that I make, haha. It's a tie between my caramel apple pie or my homemade French silk.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Between my hips and back, I'm in near constant pain (and now my wrists and ankles are joining the party). Then you add in the heartburn and her activity, and sleep is a distant memory. But I'm super excited as it all gets closer. I just can't wait to meet her.

QOTW: In honor of pi day yesterday, what is your favorite kind of pie? Can be sweet or savory. If you can't choose..name your top 3. I love pie! Almost all kinds, but my top is cinnamon apple. I never make it though because H doesn't eat pie

hpnegirl, H agrees with you re: pie. He'll also take banana cream if pressed, I think.
