EDD: 9/8 but we have an induction scheduled for 9/1
Next Appointment: 7/14 - starting appointments every 2 weeks now..
Symptoms: Lots of kicking and movement which is great. I'm definitely starting to get more uncomfortable and heartburn depending on what I eat.
Rants/Raves: We are finishing up the nursery! Just hanging things on the walls and then we should be all set for baby.
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? I'm a Virgo and usually the descriptions fit me well. Not sure what the emoji is supposed to represent though!
Symptoms: Charley horses at night. They suck and wake me up from the dead of sleep to hop around my bedroom in agony
Rants/Raves: I finally bought a real maternity swimsuit at destination maternity and oh my god why didn't I do this sooner? This thing is so comfy and actually looks flattering. Also splurged on a nursing bra.
QOTW: Virgo. Yes and no? I don't take too much stock in astrology. It's fun for shits and giggles.
Hi there ladies. I hope you don't mind if I slowly ease back in after being gone a while. I've really missed you! I haven't been stalking, so I have a lot to catch up on.
Weeks: 28+1
EDD: Sept 25
Next appointment Well, here's the thing... I combined my 24 and 28 into a 26 week appointment where I had my glucose test (passed with flying colors). I'm really considering not going again until 36 weeks. Baby is perfectly healthy, I am perfectly healthy, and other than a bout of pregnancy induced kidney stones (the absolute worst pain of my life), there have been no complications at all. I asked what they would do at the next few appointments and they basically said they would listen for heartbeat and ask me how I feel. Seems like a waste of taking unpaid time off work. I suppose I will change my mind if I feel anything is even slightly out of the ordinary.
Symptoms: Baby is definitely taking up more space and I finally feel like I look pregnant. S/he moves all night long and likes to wake me up by doing river dance on the inside of my cervix.
Rants/Raves: I have struggled a lot with what I suppose one could call prenatal depression. I think I am finally seeing the end of this fog and starting to have pleasant thoughts and accept that this baby will be a survivor. PAL is a bitch sometimes.

Weeks: 31w 4d
EDD: 9/1
Next Appointment: next Tuesday maybe? Probably.
Symptoms: nighttime foot and leg cramps are rough. Tendon pain through my groin is bad again on my right side. It had gone away for a while, but it's back!
Rants/Raves: I'm already at the point in weight gain that I was at, at 40 weeks with C. I'm feeling like a cow. Or a beached whale, depending on what I'm wearing. I know I shouldn't worry about it, but ughhhh. And we start C's transition to a new daycare tomorrow. I'm nervous and I'm going to be there the whole time. I just need to quit it.
QOTW: I'm a Gemini. I feel like the descriptions of the zodiac signs are generally vague and can apply to everyone. But I like to play a game where I try to guess what month a person's birthday is in based on their personality versus other people's personality with the same birth month. That probably falls along the same lines. Just kinda fun.

Weeks: 30w5d
EDD: 9/7
Next Appointment: Tomorrow morning, standard bi-weekly check-up
Symptoms: Tired, backache, some swelling in my feet
Rants/Raves: Not ready to go back to work after the long weekend. Especially since it's our busy week. Sucks having the busy week leading into a really busy weekend (baseball game Friday night, cousin's bachelorette party Saturday into Sunday). Baby related - MH finished painting the ceiling and trim in the nursery and started on the walls today. We should be able to start furnishing and decorating the room in no time now!
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? I'm a Leo and I don't really think I fit the description all that well. Depending on which description you look at I fit some of the points, but most general Leo descriptions don't really sound like me.
That's awesome your nursery is just about done jennybeans! Looking forward to when I can say the same!
singingsea - Ugh on the charley horses. I've been ok so far (**knock on wood**), but have had them before and they SUCK!!!
Daikoku - I'm sorry you've been struggling, but I'm glad to hear you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope each day increasingly allows you to believe this will be your take home baby.
Good luck with the daycare transition annapunkalunka! I hope it goes well. Try not to worry about weight - each pregnancy will be different and all it takes is a little extra water retention to make the number on the scale creep up. If your dr isn't worried, you should try not to be too (easier said than done I realize!).
Weeks: 31w1d EDD:9/4 Next Appointment? July 11th for reg OB Symptoms: back and pelvic pain still. Lots and lots of BH and I drink at least 80oz of water a day. Rants/Raves: I ended up going to the dr Friday from the frequent BH. They were crampy and hurting in my back and they usually don't do that. Everything was fine so yay! QOTW: I don't keep up with my zodiac sign (Virgo) so I don't know if it's accurate. I know the face is not lol
Next Appointment: pretty sure it's on Thursday. I need to find my planner.
Symptoms: sciatica, holy shiz, sciatica. It had me in tears today. I can normally deal with it but this evening it was really bad. I think I was sitting on hard surfaces too long. But now I'm in bed and it's still painful.
Rants/Raves: I'm ready to be done. I'm so uncomfortable all the time. Idk how I'm going to get through these last 9+ weeks.
But, love feeling baby move. And seeing my tummy move when she's active. It's pretty great.
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? Sagittarius, and that's the extent of my knowledge of it.
Next Appointment: Regular appointment with the midwife on Friday
Symptoms: I have been having a hard time sleeping because of back pain, leg cramping, and having to pee constantly.
Rants/Raves: Very long story short, we didn't get the pool. The company sucks so we had them refund us the full amount and went to Target to buy one of the cheap pools you take down each summer. I just wanted something to swim in this summer while I'm huge so this will work but I'm still disappointed and pissed at the pool company. I checked their Facebook and they have a ton of reviews of people who paid for pools in March and April who still don't have them so we were not the only ones being screwed.
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? I'm a Taurus. Definitely hard headed and people should not get in my way when I'm angry. The pool people learned this the hard way.
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
Next Appointment: growth scan tomorrow, OB appt next Wednesday
Symptoms: can't breathe! Baby B transverse under my ribs, literally in my lungs. Baby A seems to be flopping all around down low.
Rants/Raves: My inlaws visited this past weekend and it was so nice. We're taking our last trip home to my parents this coming weekend before the babies come. I can't believe how fast these last few weeks have gone. I'm not ready!
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? Scorpio and most of the time I do think I fit the description but some times it seems way off.
Daikoku , I'm glad you're in a better place. Come back and play with us!
Weeks : 28w6d
EDD: Sep 21
Next Appointment: July 14, regular MW appointment
Symptoms: everything, lol. Is it September yet? I'm just getting uncomfortable all around and I'm hot all the time.
Rants/Raves: really wished we were more advanced in getting DS new room ready. Only 6 more weeks of work (we are taking the 1st week of August off).
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? I'm a Capricorn and this emoji is everything! I'm pretty much a text book Capricorn.
singingsea if you catch one just starting flex your toes up towards your knee. It's counterintuitive but really works to stop it. Obviously doesn't help if you're asleep though.
Weeks: 29+5 Due Date: 9/15 or 9/17 Next appointment: tomorrow, regular OB appointment and getting my 3 hour glucose results back. Hoping I passed.
Symptoms: Back and hip pain when trying to sleep, general fatigue. Some of the food aversions are coming back... Oh, and I can't walk for long periods of time without my back, hips, and groin starting to hurt. I noticed Saturday after doing all that shopping that I was getting a tiny amount of cramping, too. Nothing major, and lying down definitely stopped it, so I'll just have to keep an eye on my activity levels.
Rants/Raves: My stubborn child refuses to let H feel or see her move. Yesterday I was propped up in my computer chair watching my belly wiggle and dance as she flipped around in there. I gestured to H and pointed to my belly and the second he looked, she stopped. He said I must have been just seeing things. No, this kid just has too many of your genes in there.
QoTW: The emoticon doesn't. Most of the others I've seen do.

Weeks: 27+4
EDD: 9/30
Next Appointment: 7/7
Symptoms: OMG the groin pain is getting extreme. I totally overdid it this weekend. Ouch.
Rants/Raves: I'm finally getting some really good wild rolls and jabs from baby, my older kids love to watch my belly and crack up when he does something crazy and they can see it.
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? I'm a Scorpio, and although I don't buy into astrology type stuff, it's actually somewhat accurate.
Next Appointment: Thursday for my last monthly appointment and glucose test
Symptoms: Some heartburn/reflux; hip pain when I lie down at night and often when I switch positions while sleeping
Rants/Raves: We had fantastic weather all weekend, and DD loved playing in the water on the Cape. She also took a 1.5 hour nap yesterday (we rarely get more than 1 hour from her), and I did the same. I love sleep.
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? Libra - most descriptions are very accurate, and I do use that face a lot.
Symptoms: Cannot sleep...so sore and uncomfortable
Rants/Raves: I had the worst sleeping experience on this vacation...like just so much pain and I just found out our house won't be ready for another two weeks so I'm stuck on the pull out couch for several more nights
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? I'm a Taurus and that emoji is my absolute fave
Rants/Raves:I haven't been on in a while. Im feeling depressed and overwhelmed by the constant pain and crying it causes. Just sitting around hurts much less moving my body to adjust a pillow or whatever. I just started seeing a chiropractor. It takes the edge off for a little bit.
Rants/Raves: Well we are in the hospital for the duration. That's why I have been MIA for over a week. We were back and forth to the dr for a week and finally admitted today. Baby A is having some intermittent reverse flow in her cord. We are hoping to hold out for 34 weeks.
QOTW: What is your zodiac sign? Do you believe that you fit the description of your sign? Sagittarius....I don't even know the true description.
