[comicSans]

1. How many weeks? 40 + 1

2. How are you feeling these days?
Some days are great, other days are terrible. Today I'm Debbie downer and throwing myself a pity party. I'm really tired and really down and anytime I try to do anything I just wanna lay down again - so I do. I felt much better yesterday so I'm praying today's crappy mood is temporary.

3. Upcoming appts
Tomorrow. I'll get my first cervical check and I might cry if nothing is happening. Honestly, I'll probably cry anyway. I'm not sure if they'll sweep yet, or when they'll consider the limited induction methods I can have, but this baby needs to come in the next week and a half or I'll need an rcs, and I really don't feel like making decisions one way or another.

4. Rant/rave? I feel very ranty about it all right now. Mil is here and she and DH are taking the lead on toddler care so I can keep moping around, so that's nice.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Keeping up with the 2 year old is tough. Last night H and I went out to dinner and I tried to put on wedges with an ankle strap to look cute. It just wasn't happening and I had to say screw it and go for the slip on flats.

[willow]

1. How many weeks?: 37 weeks

2. How are you feeling these days?: Ready to be done, haha. I threw my back out last night and it's been hell ever since.

3. Upcoming appts: Tomorrow for weekly check.

4. Rant/rave?: I have had contractions on and off for the last couple of days and I hate how it's just a tease. This morning they felt pretty intense and regular and then just stopped. Gah. So frustrating.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)?: Bending over for sure is really difficult. And lifting anything over like 10 lbs lol.

[roccobabyk]

1. How many weeks?
37+4

2. How are you feeling these days?
Slow

3. Upcoming appts
Wednesday

4. Rant/rave?
My Mom was visiting this weekend and she annoyed the crap out of me. She wants to come stay for a few days when the baby is born and I DO NOT WANT that to happen. I feel like she has never shifted into the Grandma role and can't handle not being in charge.


5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)?
chasing a toddler.

[katelou]

1. How many weeks? 36w5d

2. How are you feeling these days? Tired and large, but decent. I remember last time I hit the proverbial wall at 37 weeks and then was just DONE. We'll see what happens this time!

3. Upcoming appt. ? Appointment and NST tomorrow. Despite Baby R making it above the 10th percentile I still have to do an NST and a BPP once a week each.

4. Rant/rave? I am so done with working. We are still negotiating on me reducing my hours/telecommuting and I just don't care anymore. DH has his busiest week of the year this week. He gets two paid weeks of paternity leave (!!) but it would be really hard to stay completely out of the office if the baby came in the next week and a half (another reason I'm so glad I'm not being induced Wednesday!). I'm telling Baby R I want her to show up after the 15th.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Sleeping. Luckily I've gotten lots of naps this weekend and DD is letting me sleep in.

[cabbagecabbage]

1. How many weeks? 36+4 it sounds even weirder when people ask when I'm due and the answer is "about 3 weeks." Someone at the parade today said, "Fourth of July Baby!" to me so I must look ready.

2. How are you feeling these days? Each day is different but I'm slowing down and more easily tired. Baby is dropping so I waddle and ache.

3. Upcoming appts I have gbs on Friday.

4. Rant/rave? In January I bought this red and white maxi dress thinking I'd wear it today. I cannot believe it's here. I also decided to give up all pinteresty endeavors for DD's party. We are making boxed cupcakes with sprinkles and ordering pizza. I am so happy with this nenu.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Get out of bed and turn and reposition in bed. Using a dust pan is also pretty awful.

[melody330]

Happy 4th of July!!!!

1. How many weeks? 36+6

2. How are you feeling these days? Pretty good. I had a terrible headache last week but it hasn't reappeared. I'm also feeling like I can't possibly get much bigger....yet i know with three weeks left I will.

3. Upcoming appts: Monday. MW wanted a growth US so I'm getting that and then my weekly appointment.

4. Rant/rave? Not too much. We went to a parade today and walked about two miles. I feel really good but my hands and feet beg to differ. Very very swollen

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Lay down and sleep. Each night this week I've been waking up with bile in my mouth. It's disgusting and makes me almost puke

[joy]

OH MY GOD.

I thought I was on Parenting!!!  Hahahaha.

I deleted and took myself back to August :-)

[tikoberry99]

1. How many weeks? 38w, 2 days! This is my last check in! Big boy Maddox will be arriving 7/11 via c section.

2. How are you feeling these days?

Still pretty damn good! Tired is my only complaint. I've had a super easy pregnancy and I can only hope my next one is just as easy!

3. Upcoming appts

Pre op on Wednesday.

4. Rant/rave?

None right now.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)?

Getting in and out of cars and on and off the toilet lol.

[rungirlrun]

1. How many weeks? 36 + 3

2. How are you feeling these days? Pregnancy-wise, I feel decent. Obviously getting uncomfortable but really lucky to be feeling pretty good. Otherwise, I'm stressed and exhausted from this move. There is a lot about the house that H and I don't like (for one our bedroom furniture barely fits in our room which is so annoying, DS actually has the largest room!). So we aren't thrilled with it but will deal. Just going to be a rough couple of weeks trying to get somewhat settled and praying this baby does not come anytime soon. Oh and we won't be able to set the baby's room until we come home from the hospital bc my parents will be staying with us in the baby's room until the birth. Annoyed it is working out that way.

3. Upcoming appt.? Tomorrow - standard midwife appointment.

4. Rant/rave? See above - moving sucks. That is all.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Basically having enough energy to keep up with DS in the heat and not feel like a lame mom. Oh and wiping after a pee is hard!

[littlesthobo]

1. How many weeks? 37+2

2. How are you feeling these days? It's hit and miss. I go between tired and huge, and energetic.

3. Upcoming appts: I had a regular OB checkup today, everything looks normal but I've got carpal tunnel in both wrists. Yay me.

4. Rant/rave? Rave that everything is normal, so I can continue with our vacation this week! DH drove me home for the appt and back up to the cottage. Going to jump in the lake when DS gets up from his nap. And a random lady told me I looked beautiful when I was buying ice cream today.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Everything! Thank goodness for flip flop season. I'm feeling extra limited with these wrist braces on, took a lot of coordination to get out of DS's bed after snuggling before his nap!

[jewelsofthenile]

1. How many weeks? 38 + 4

2. How are you feeling these days? Alright but super large and ready to lose some weight in my stomach soon.

3. Upcoming appts Thursday regular weekly check.

4. Rant/rave? This weekend has been a really good one going back to work tomorrow does not sound very fun. I over work and ready for maternity leave.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Getting out of bed or off the couch after laying for a while. I look like a 90 year old person until i can get my hips to work.

[lostinfaith225]

Happy 4th of July!!!!

1. How many weeks? 38 wks 3 days, the longest I've ever been Prego.

2. How are you feeling these days?
Tired, huge, done. Just waiting waiting waiting

3. Upcoming appts
I have my regular one on Thursday.

4. Rant/rave? We went to the parade today and a lot of people kept telling me I look like I could go anytime. I also must look done.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)?
Getting out of bed, off the couch, off the floor with ds.

[ginabini]

1. How many weeks?
39+1! Officially full term!


2. How are you feeling these days?
Uncomfortable and just super impatient! Ready to get this show on the road!


3. Upcoming appts Tomorrow (Tuesday) for weekly checkup. Hopefully will be my last scheduled appointment!


4. Rant/rave?
 Rave: my husband has been soooo wonderful the last few days. Helping around the house and continuously asking what I need/want. Rant: SO ready to be done now.


5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Honestly, sitting for a long period of time is the biggest pain. LO has been pushing into my spine if I sit for too long, so hopefully I don't have too many days of work left.

[Ray]

1. 38+5 waaaaaa??!!

2. Overall, pretty good. BHX are getting more annoying/uncomfortable but sleep has been ok! (other than a few absolutely brutal leg cramps)

3. Tomorrow morning

4. Can't think of any either way really. We are getting down to crunch time!! He will be here soon I hope! Everything is ready for him so we're just waiting. I really want to get the baby blocks made this week, I should also probably clean the car.

5. Getting in and out of our big ass truck is difficult. Getting off the table at the OBs is impossible without help.

[ellebelle]

1. How many weeks? 37w3d.

2. How are you feeling these days? Overall pretty good except for hip pain. I think I'm feeling better than I did at this time with DD's pregnancy thankfully.

3. Upcoming appts Weekly on Friday.

4. Rant/rave? My hips might hate me by this time next week but just hoping baby stays put until after DH is finished his Boston trip this week (gone 7th-10th).

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Getting up from lying down for middle of the night pees. I definitely feel old complaining of hip pain.

[sarcaztic10]

1. How many weeks? 36+2

2. How are you feeling these days? So so tired!! I am exhausted and it shows, I look like crap.

3. Upcoming appts? The Thursday usual, BPP and OB appt.

4. Rant/rave? I really got some stuff done this weekend! I prepped two meals and one breakfast for my brother when he comes to watch L. We also installed both car seat bases. I ordered the rock n play as well.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Cooking a meal every night is exhausting. I do it because I have to in order to stay with the budget and also be dairy and egg free but if we had unlimited amounts of money we would eat out every night.

[cavewmn]

1. How many weeks? 37w3d

2. How are you feeling these days? I just want to be done.

3. Upcoming appts? Tomorrow

4. Rant/rave? blah

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? I kind of want to say living. But it's because between me having a migraine, over heating, and swelling I am just done. Plus I am starting to sleep a lot and that is ruining my meal planning for GD.

[tootsie]

1. How many weeks?
38w3d

2. How are you feeling these days?
Like 10 lbs of sugar in a 5 lb sack.

3. Upcoming appts:
Today at 3:30, hoping for progress.

4. Rant/rave?
This heat is just killer right now. It was 106 yesterday, same today. Luckily one of the guys with a covered parking spot is gone this week, so it's mine now   

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Honestly, just keeping up with household tasks is so tough right now. I usually spend 20 minutes after DD is in bed to pick shit up around the house, but I just can't right now.

[mcktymck]

1. How many weeks? 37w6d

2. How are you feeling these days? Ready to get this show on the road so that I can walk without feeling like the lower half of my body might snap off at any minute.

3. Upcoming appts? Thursday

4. Rant/rave? I'm just glad it's a short work week AND the move so far is still planned for Saturday.

5. What is the hardest thing to do right now (tieing shoes, bending over)? Anything sleep-related. It's so hard to get comfortable and stay comfortable for very long, and then rolling over or getting out of bed is ridiculously painful thanks to SPD and my tailbone.
