[merryrissmas]

Doing the Lord's work, pippacricket! I thought about starting the check-in thread today then promptly forgot again.

How many weeks?: 37+4

EDD?: 9/30

Next appointment: BPP today, OB on 9/15

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Pretty good. The BP meds seem to be helping.

Rants/raves: starting to feel ready to meet this baby!

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? Movement is my favorite thing too, it's just the coolest, weirdest feeling. There's nothing else like it.

[fem]

How many weeks?: 37+6

EDD?: 9/28

Next appointment: Thursday. I think I'll get checked this week.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Hard to tell if it's this cold or pregnancy making me miserable. But I am just so tired.

Rants/raves: I feel bad for how unmotivated I am at work. I feel so checked out. 6 days left.

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? My daughter's excitement. She can't wait to be a big sister, and hugs my belly and talks to her. When she talks about our family she already includes her name, and she tells me all the things she's going to teach her to do. I know it will be an adjustment but I can't wait to see them together.

How many weeks?: 41+1

EDD?: Last Monday

Next appointment: Going in Thursday night for my induction

Symptoms/how are you feeling? So ready to get this kid out of me. I'm not sleeping. I'm peeing all the time.

Rants/raves: We did IVF so I had to start acting like I was pregnant as soon as we started cycling. I've literally gone 41 weeks of limited caffeine, no drinking, no lunch meat, no sushi, etc. Granted I could have been more lenient on things, but when you work so hard for this, it's not worth it. I just want a beer and a turkey sandwich, dammit!

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? Everything, even though I'm whining now. When we were first diagnosed with IF, I really thought we would never get pregnant. This whole thing has been such a gift.

How many weeks?: 40+1

EDD?: Yesterday

Next appointment: Monday for NST and Ultrasound

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Ha. I'm tired.

Rants/raves: It's weird for my EDD to be behind me now. I would love to go into labor on my own but I'm not getting my hopes up. Maybe I'll get to share a birthday with this baby, even though that will mean he/she is born at 41+6.

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? My skin looks great!

How many weeks?: 38w3d

EDD?: 9/24

Next appointment: Thursday

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Terrible. Normal complaints. The lack of sleep is just getting to me...and I know this won't be improved once the baby arrives

Rants/raves: Meh nothing really just the usual. I'm grumpy and think I'll be grumpy until baby arrives.

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? I'm with you fem . I am loving seeing the excitement of a new baby through my daughter's eyes. She is so so excited and while I know this won't be an easy transition I keep reminding myself that this sibling is a great gift to her.

How many weeks?: 38+5

EDD?: 9/22

Next appointment: Friday

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired and my back hurts after I've been sitting for a while.

Rants/raves: I can't believe I'm in single digit days until my EDD! I just have a few more little things to get done then he can make his appearance.

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far?
+1 for the movement, it's the coolest. That and how excited people get when they know you're pregnant.

Tomorrow makes 40 weeks...

EDD: 9/14

Next appointment: tomorrow 10am

I feel pregnant with lots of misleading contractions and cramping.

I'm just ready to meet my little one.

QOTW: the excitement to meet him and seeing another combination of DH and I. I'm so excited to see how similar he and DS1 will be.

[briannea]

How many weeks?: 38+3

EDD?: 9/24

Next appointment: Wednesday

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired, Moody, baby is very active, and I have a few contractions each day

Rants/raves: occasional lightning crotch is annoying, occasional painful contractions

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? That it's probably my last one. No more babies for me but I've contemplated being a surrogate for my cousin and his husband. They have frozen embryos but his sister is too old and in poor health to be a surrogate for them again.

How many weeks?: 37 +3

EDD?: 10/02

Next appointment: Midwife today at 4

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Im an emotional mess. Fighting with DH, snuggling DS close. Hating everyone and everything.

Rants/raves: I've been so sore. Like my hair hurts even. My stomach skin is so sore that even having a shirt on makes me cringe. My nipples are on fire. My under bump feels like its raw. My hips are brutal.
However I did sleep for 5 straight hours last night, that has to be a record for me.

QOTW: What has been your favorite thing about pregnancy thus far? Knowing it's a girl.
