Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: hand me down clothes from a friend and we purchased a bookshelf for her room.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester.that I won't have a set plan for our dogs. All our friends live far enough away to make it really difficult for them. It will work out I just haven't figured it out yet

[thedish]

Week/ Fruit: 37 Weeks tomorrow / Winter Melon (WTF?)

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: Appointment in an hr and a half. Doing another cervical check. Baby's been head down for a long time now, so I can breathe again but boy do my hips and back hurt.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: We are finally all set (for now). We've got a good stock of the immediate needs.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. Can't think of any right now. I'm boring!

[nbad311]

Week/ Fruit:
My ticker is still MIA, but my phone app says I change to COCONUT this weekend!

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments:
36-week appointment on Monday; getting my bum swabbed for strep B! Seeing one of my favorite MWs.
Rants: intermittent rib pain that basically doesn't go away with any position/sitting/laying.
Raves:    STILL NO HEARTBURN!! (thanks for Prevacid)

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week:
A knitted newborn hat that looks like a pug



GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester.
Dogs here too. I *think* we have all the logistics planned out, but I'm still going to worry about them getting to their destinations on time and not getting stuck in their crates at home for hours due to bad timing of leaving the house and my helpers' schedules/traffic. My little special needs pug is particularly delicate so I am already generally uncomfortable with other people handling her (besides her dog sitter). I even have great neighborly neighbors who would be more than willing to come let them out while the designated transport-to-pet sitter friends have yet to arrive, but they have a 6-year old daughter who is so FREAKIN rough with my dogs that I simply avoid bringing the dogs out around them now. But I (think I) am confident in DH's ability in the heat of things to guide everyone along and ensure all 4-legged ones get where they're supposed to be....via cell phone during in our L&D room

[danitaec]

Week/ Fruit: 34/butternut squash on Saturday

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: Rant - everything hurts! This child is finding strange places to stick his appendages.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: bought the crib, dresser, and changing table topper thing for 20% this week! Sometimes it pays to procrastinate!

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. Not really a fear, but not looking forward to all the people that are going to want to visit ALL THE TIME. I'm a little afraid that my husband won't be the "bad cop" I need him to be and set boundaries with people.

[munchkin8590]

Week/ Fruit: week 37, winter melon

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: had an appointment on Tuesday. Still 1cm dilated. Dr is concerned about my excessive swelling, but (fortunately) she has no reason to induce since all my numbers are looking good.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: We bought a bottle drying rack, monitor and a few other little last minute items I wanted.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. That my parents (who are supposed to have my son while I'm in the hospital) will be out of town when I go into labor. They like to take spontaneous trips to their cabin in NC since they are retired.

[AppropriateChocolate]

Week/ Fruit: 34 weeks/butternut squash

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: My body is super itchy ugh...

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: No but baby shower is tomorrow.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester: I lost my job last Friday and trying to figure out income and benefits is scary.

[aggiebug]

When you look at our tickers, the baby/ fruit/ whatever is almost to the end. I remember thinking that was a long time coming. AHHHHHHH So crazy.

[angeldcf]

Week/ Fruit: 35 wks- new ticker over here so no clue about fruit

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: ObGyn, Dentist, Endo next week.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: Coworker gave me a Frog lovey and an all-white 3pc Carters set. Very sweet of her... but obviously no kids as DH even commented "Why would they even make an all-white baby outfit? What do we do with this? It'll last 5 minutes!"

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. Flammable: not being able to work until baby arrives & using FMLA pre-baby. Not finishing a few projects prior- I know it doesn't matter, but would add to my anxiety.

[valentino2013]

Week/ Fruit:35 weeks!!

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: Feeling bleh, this week but I guess this is the home stretch. Also feeling stressed because we just found out we need to replace our roof sooner than expected. Just saw the doctor on Monday and I have one more 2 week appointment. Also glad to have made it over to the "new bump" I was really sad thinking I would loose the support from this board so close to my due date. Hoping to be more active as I figure out this new site.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: I bought a bunch of random things I still needed for the baby like pants and a few tops in larger sizes. Kohl's was having great sales last week.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester: Probably a toss up between the post delivery recovery (FTM so I don't know what to expect) and surviving on one income while I am on mat leave.

[nomnomasaur0426]

Week/ Fruit:

36/honeydew melon mmmmm

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments:

Had appt on Wednesday BP elevated and sugar and protein in urine. Ob is waiting on my 24hr urine catch results before pulling pree trigger, but I'm sure it's coming. Now on modified bed rest and working half days. Sigh really hoping things don't worsen, but considering my feet look worse everyday (they really look like they belong to someone who is about 600lbs...) I'm preparing mentally for an earlier delivery

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week:

Was going to get a couple extra crib sheets but haven't gotten around to it. Bought humidifier - exciting, I know

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester.

Not being able to roll out of bed, not getting all my cases completed at work...many fears

[thedish]

nomnomasaur0426 T&Ps on the possibility of pre-e. When do you get the test results back?

nbad311 I was scrolling thru and didn't realize you were the one that posted the pug hat. I saw it and was like "I've got to share that with nbad!" .... Oh wait, yep, she's the one that posted that. Come on now, dish.

[allonsy221b]

Week/ Fruit: 34 butternut squash

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: Appointment on Monday and everything is good. I get to see a chiropractor on Monday. Going for a VBAC so was super excited to hear my tail bone pain etc is because LO is head down!

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: My shower is Feb 1st, no buying until then

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. How my daughter will react. She is two and has never stayed the night at anyone's house or been away from us more than a normal work day. I'm hoping my sister is in town to watch her because she lives 2 minutes from the hospital but she goes away a lot and I have no idea what to do with her if she's gone

[mylazypony]

Week/ Fruit: coconut - wk 35

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments:

Rants- oh mother of gawd make the heartburn stop.

Raves - I didn't have to purchase a birth pool. A customer let me borrow her brand new pool. She's a doula and really sweet!

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: dad bought her a TCB onesie. Super cute to see him excited about his daughter's arrival.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. I don't want her to come early is my main concern. Bb dad is going to his brother's wedding in the uk and is due back Feb 16. I'm due Feb 22. I guess she'll come when she comes!

[hollydfromtn]

Week/ Fruit: 37wks Winter Melon

Rants/raves/symptoms/appointments: I'm still going into work once a week to do the billing until I can train the new girl next week. Well today one of my male coworkers asked me "So when do you start dilating?" WTF......who asks that?

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: I plan on using our gift cards tomorrow to finish up getting some things off our registry. We still need bottles, a carrier (still deciding between an ergo and the moby) and a crib mattress to name a few.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester.
All of my fears are focused around delivery and recovery right now. :/

[sugahcookie01]

Week/fruit: 35 coconut!

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: u/s Thursday to check positioning etc. hope he flips. Pretty sure he is still breech. My chiro has been working on trying to align my pelvis to be more baby-positioning-friendly so I hope it helps.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: nope but my work is throwing me a little shower next week!

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. It's labor related but not DELIVERY related. I'm afraid to go early and not feel like my long term sub stuff is ready. Because I'm obsessed with my damned job. Because I'm insane.

Next appointment is Tuesday so hopefully OB will have them by then. Thanks for the Ts&Ps - I guess if it comes down to me being out of work early, at least I can catch up on all my gaming

[valentino2013]

hollydfromtn.. FWIW we registered for the Ergo and bought a moby off ebay. It was brand new, never used and was $30 shipped. They had lots of them in all different styles and conditions. Just an option that worked for us because I knew I wanted an Ergo but was mixed about a wrap.

[mirigirl]

Week/ Fruit: 35 weeks!

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: My heartburn has been really bad. I am considering asking for a Prilosec prescription at my next appt. I go to weekly appts next week!

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: We had our last shower so we officially have everything we need! He can come anytime and we will be prepared.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. hmmmmm, probably just the whole unknown of when I will go into labor. I am a huge planner, and not being able to plan labor is a challenge on me haha.

[hollydfromtn]

valentino2013 thanks for the info. I'm actually thinking about making a moby. I've been reading a few tutorials and it looks pretty easy. Looks can always be deceiving so I may end up on eBay after it's all said and done lol.

[seamonster]

Week/ Fruit: Week 37 and winter melon (or a leek according to a different app)

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: Baby is measuring on track. No new symptoms other than he freaked me out earlier this week by having a day where he moved the same amount in terms of count, but they weren't strong or intense as usual. He's fine and paying me back for being worried.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: Got our crib finally. I'm ordering my breastpump (supposedly I'll be reimbursed 90%) and a few little things we still need.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. That I'll either go into labor next week while I'm tying up loose ends at work and training the new (to the group, not the company) engineer or I'll be sitting around for 4 weeks waiting for this baby to come.

[smyers2girls]

Week/ Fruit: 37 weeks winter melon

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: only one more appointment next week until baby comes, unless he comes before the RSC, which looks like there's a good chance that may happen.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: I've actually got everything we need now. Except the baby bath supplies, need to head to target before work tonight to pick some up.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester. Not really a "fear" but I'm still upset and anxious about my girls not being able to see me in the hospital because of the visitor restrictions. Damn flu!

[valentino2013]

Good luck hollydfromtn. I saw those tutorials too but I am not very talented with a sewing machine. Hope your's turn out well!

[hollydfromtn]

Thanks valentino2013 I'll try and post some pics if I'm able to make it out to get some fabric this week.

[tropicbreeze]

Week/ Fruit: 37 weeks/winter melon

Rants/raves/symptoms/Appointments: Just keeping weekly appts until he decides to arrive.

Received/ purchased anything for LO this week: Not really a purchase, but after getting the run around for 2 weeks about a pump, one is finally being shipped to the house sometime this coming week.

GTKY: What is your biggest non delivery related fear of the last trimester.
My dogs will get out of the yard while I'm in the hospital.
