Hello ladies! Please add me EDD 2/17 with 1 bean, team green

Hanging out at 38w6d with nothing much going on. I have an OB appt tomorrow and she only does cervix checks of you think something may be brewing.

I was 1cm last week and I don't feel like anything has changed.

QOTW: it's hard to say.. I like all of the seasons for different reasons. I'm glad I live in a state that has all 4 seasons on days like today it's amazing to think it will be hot and humid when it's so cold and snowy.

What the heck!? I posted my update and it vanished...... oh technology, you win!

Let's try again!

31w2d today and I had an NST, growth scan, and a check in with the NP today. NST was perfect, growth scan has baby at 3 pounds 10 ounces, 41%, NP was very happy with that. I have all my appointments booked through March. Less than 8 weeks to go!

QOTW: I LOVE the fall! I love apple and pumpkin picking, apple cider, apple cider doughnuts, going to hay mazes with A. I love the cooler weather and warm sunshine. I'm in upstate NY so we get beautiful foliage. I feel very comforted by the fall; I don't know if that makes any sense, but I do!

Hi! Can you add me? Just starting 3rd tri EDD 5/2 with one girl.

Not too much to update. I guess things at this stage are relatively boring until I get closer to due date. Already feeling really uncomfortable, though! OB said it looks like the baby is pushing on my gall bladder too much, which is causing a lot of excess bile and why I've had a wave of puking lately...but she seemed to change positions yesterday b/c I felt a lot more comfortable and haven't puked since Saturday night. Hopefully, it stays this way.

QOTW: I love fall. Texas summers are hot, so it's always such a relief. Plus I start to get excited for the holidays.

gsancho, yay, so happy to see you here! Sorry about the gall bladder thing. That's a new one to me! Oh, the crazy things pregancy causes...

kmc84, not only are we a week apart, we're also both in Upstate NY! Glad everything is looking so good for you!

anchovies, welcome, although I suspect you are not here for long! Very exciting!!

AFM, I had a minor freak out at my last MW appt when I was measuring 2 cm behind. She didn't think there was cause for alarm, and apparently I've been about 1 cm behind for a while. It was crazy bc I thought the bump had doubled in size since my last appt, so I was really stunned. She still is saying that there's no cause to give me additional scans or tests (aside from the GBS) before 40 weeks, at which point they're now giving scans more commonly to check on fetal size and the placenta. Little Girl continues to be extremely active, so I know she's likely okay. I'm doing okay, but sleep has been a problem, partly bc of her hiccups. Sigh. We tour the hospital this weekend.

QOTW: Definitely spring, mostly bc I'm totally plant obsessed. I love walking around the garden to see what's newly sprung from the ground or in bloom. I also love planting season and some of the spring veggies--sugar snap and snow peas, early lettuces, and arugula are particular faves. It may also be because I'm on the academic calendar, and spring means that summer break is almost here.

But as anchovies said, I really love living in a place with four real seasons!

Welcome to 3rd tri gsancho!

36w today- I had my 2 'big' appointments this morning. One with MFM & then with the high risk OB Team after. I'm very excited to report that due to good GD management, baby being a good size, and my pregnancy being mostly uneventful, I'm an excellent VBAC candidate!!!! I'm so thrilled, I can barely even explain it, and they won't even push for a C or augmenting labor until 40w if nothing changes. I lost a lot of sleep about this appointment last week, so I'm really thankful that I got a good report and all the answers I feel like I needed. What a huge relief!

As of now, I'll continue with Monday/ Thursday NSTS and Monday OB appointments until she arrives.

QOTW: Fall is my favorite too. I love apple cider, Halloween, pumpkin picking and painting, crisp mild weather, all the smells of the season (especially pumpkin candles- I'm not a fan of many pumpkin foods but there's something wonderful about the smell!) and mine & DHs birthdays are both in fall!

36w and doing well. Had my appt today and baby is head down. I'm also a finger tip dialated which means i am as close as possible to being completely closed. Gbs results will be back next week and i will be positive. I was w DD so i should be this time.

Qotw: another fall lover here! The temps, colors, pumpkin coffee, bread and treats...i love it all.
