No fun title here - I barely slept last night. I kept having dreams where I had the baby but it was a micro-premie even though I was full term. It was so strange.

Ah, the weird pregnancy dreams! I'm sorry you didn't sleep. I'm almost embarrassed to tell you I stole your sleep. I was out from 8 to 8 with only 2 pee breaks. It was the magical unicorn sleep I needed although I've started night sweats this week, so I'm all funky and damp (but I'm used to that feeling elswhere as a gross pregnant).
I'm attempting zumba and buying a couple cloth diapers off a local woman today. I think we're going our for Mexican later.
I had contractions much of the night, but they never got stronger. Finally was able to fall asleep but every time I had to get up, more contractions and violent kicking. H has to work late tonight so it's just me and the 2 year old alllllll day. Gonna try to get more cleaning done and somehow remain sane.

I am being kicked in the stomach while trying to eat my breakfast. Its pretty hard to eat like this but I am going to. I have been craving protein constantly now so I think S is having a growth spurt in there.
Were at the hospital and h is sleeping, realistically there's nothing he could be doing to help if he was awake but listening to him breathe is grating on my nerves. He slept when I was in labor with Jack too. So annoying.

I got woken up by a call from a number I didn't recognize. Best wake up call ever!!! It was a principal calling from a school that is a 40min shorter commute than my current one offering me a transfer!!!!! I am so excited! I've taught there before and they have a great staff, TONS of tech and resources, and it's an extended French school so the home room teacher, students, and families really value French ! I won't start until Sept 17 but I am so pumped! I was miserable at my last school.
ETA: they are early start also so class ends at 2:30. I will be home as early as 3:15!!! Most days this year is be lucky to be home by 5:30 AND they have an attached daycare for when I go back to work
Good luck today beebe918 and Susan0utLoud! I will definitely be stalking that live blog!
Did groceries this morning and laundry. I need to rest for a bit but I feel like my time to be productive is running out (DS is in full time daycare until Thursday and then drops to part time).

I would be tempted to throw something at him. Or at least make him take the first night of feedings.
cavewmn we have a very needy cat who has become even more needy the closer we get to the due date. The past several days she's decided she needs to wake me up around 6am to talk and stand on me. She's lucky she's so cute because it's really annoying haha
sarcaztic10 my hunger has really ramped up lately, it's like I can never eat enough!
beebe918 wake that man up when things start picking up! And I hope labor starts progressing quickly for you, I'll be stalking your live blog all day
Ray huge congratulations, what great news for you! Sounds like it will be a perfect fit and work out really well!
sorry to be such an AW but I am a wreck. Baby Girl passed her NST this morning but my OB was way less positive than she was last time we talked about it. My fundal height hasn't changed in 4 weeks and she is not convinced Baby Girl has grown much at all. We will find out for sure at my growth u/s on Friday. Last time we talked about it, I thought she said that as long as baby stayed in about the same percentile (5th-10th percentile) we could wait til 38-39 weeks to induce. She left me feeling really positive that Baby is healthy but smaller and this is likely what would happen. Today she said she wants to induce at 37 weeks for anything 10th percentile or below and she seemed way more concerned. 37 weeks is next Wednesday. I am so emotional. I'm so scared to have a low birthweight baby and so scared that there's something inherently wrong with her that they just haven't caught.
katelou sending all my good thoughts your way, I can't imagine being stuck in the limbo you're currently facing. Try and breathe and relax in between now and your growth u/s, and I hope that everything turns out well on Friday!
katelou, I'm sorry that your OB has you freaked out. I hope the u/s shows good growth. Fundal height can be very sensitive to baby positioning and thus isn't that reliable. If, after the ultrasound, your OB wants to take her out at 37 weeks, make her explain what changed in her thinking and get all the info. that you can. Perhaps even consult with an MFM if you are still uncomfortable? You do not have to consent to the early induction and you certainly have the right to get enough information to give informed consent. That said, if it is in the best interests of the baby, you and your medical team will be able to handle a low birth weight situation.

Big hugs katelou, I totally understand why you would feel emotional. It sounds like you are in good hands with your doctor and one week hopefully won't make much of a difference. Thinking of you and baby girl!

katelou sending positive vibes to you and baby. I'm on the opposite side with baby measuring in the 95 percentile, but ob told me there are babies in the 5th and 95th that are both totally normal...it's just how the bell curve works. I hope everything looks good with baby at you scan.
katelou Hugs!!!' I'm sorry for all the added stress. Have you done a growth u/s before? Just curious if the baby was on target then. My ob had me do a growth u/s at 32ish weeks because my weight gain has been minimal and it had stayed the same then. She ended up looking great on the scan. Fx for a positive scan!
katelou I'm in the August 16 BMB, but I read here too because I know we're having a July baby.
I'm in the exact same situation as you are. We have an IUGR baby and a u/s Friday to determine when she will be born. I don't feel as scared this time because with my first daughter, we went through all the same things. She ended up being induced at 37 weeks for being below 5th percentile even though all NSTs and BPPs were good. (I was happy to have her out, because no more worrying what's going on.) She weighed 5 lb 5 oz and dropped to 4lb 12 at her lowest. Now she's above 50th percentile as a 2 year old. Nothing wrong with her, just a small baby! I just want to reassure you that some babies fall below 5th percentile, and they're completely fine. With all the extra monitoring you're getting, chances are you'd know if something was wrong. I think your OB is just being cautious, which is probably a good thing. Lots of babies are born at 37 weeks or sooner! I hope you get some good answers on Friday!!
