Show us the babies and bumps!!!

[LadyNymeria]

R is 3 weeks today and his weight check follow-up was a success!! He's up to 8lbs 1.5oz and officially past birth weight!! The past couple nights have been a bit rougher for sleep in the early morning hours, but he's been eating a lot so I'm guessing growth spurt plus some gas bubbles. Otherwise he's doing great and I'm loving the cuddles!

I got the preview pic from our newborn session today and it's adorable!! Can't wait to see the rest tomorrow!

PDQ
**poof**

What cutie babies around here!

BabyGO is 12 weeks and time is going by too fast. He's cooing up a storm and wanting to sit up by himself already. He can pull stuff off tables so we have to be on the lookout now when we're eating. He grabbed his grandma's drink and poured it on her the other day. He's a cutie but sleep is still a major struggle for us so I have my moments. In other news I've actually started working out! It feels so good.
I just moved all my pics off my phone do no pics this time. But trust he's still handsome.

The BFPs lately have been much excite. Let's see more!

Hey all! 34w1d today! Large, very large. Very swollen in the feet and ankle area. Cannot move. Also, currently battling a cold. I'm a whole bag of fun right now.

Not sure when my last update was, but here's the two week rundown:

• 32 week growth scan looked 👌🏼 Baby A (boy) still head down and Baby B (girl) still breech. Both weighed in at 4.5lbs, or about 9lbs total.

• After the growth scan we went in for NST and babies did perfect but I was having contractions about 2-3 minutes apart. Asked if I could feel them, yes, but I never thought anything of it because they don't really hurt. They wanted to do a fetal fibronectin but since I'd had a vaginal u/s they couldn't. I went back the next day, had the FFN and more NST. Still having contractions every 2-3 minutes but no cervical change. They called that night and the FFN was negative woo hoo!

• My work hours were cut back to 30 hrs and I am now working remotely (unless I have to go in to the office for a few minutes for something). We talked delivery plans just in case and the OB recommends, and we are comfortable with, attempting vaginal delivery with A delivered vertex and B delivered breech if she doesn't flip.

• 33 week NST - babies doing great, still having contractions at about 5 minute intervals

• 34 week NST - babies doing great, still having contractions at about 5-6 minute intervals

LSS- they won't stop labor at this point, haven't checked my cervix since the 32 week appt, but just keepin' on for now!


More BFPS!!!!

Hai GKU!!

I'm feeling large and in charge at 36ish weeks. Lots of typical 3rd tri complaints; reflux, contractions, night sweats, shortness of breath, fatigue...all that good stuff. The swelling in my feet has gone from "just after working or being on my feet" to constant and pretty bad in the last 3 days. I had a growth scan last Wednesday after concerns of my measurements stalling and a history of the same with DS (who was born SGA/possible IUGR at term) which showed baby is just above the 50th percentile for weight at this point. The plan is to continue to monitor my weight and measurements closely and go from there. Otherwise, my RCS is about 2.5 weeks away now!! and DS turned 3 today, so all the feels about that. Here's a pic of him at the pumpkin patch/apple orchard today in lieu of a belly pic (he's cuter anyway). PDQ. Sorry if huge.

[penguin129]

britta I like your pic of your DS. 2.5 weeks!!!! I keep thinking of it as days. When you put it in that perspective we are so close. Britta and I are C-section buddies, if we make it that far.

[Ray]

Hiya! F is now 11.5 weeks and lights up with smiles when he sees me he can be quite the chatterbox and is dealing with car rides better (or maybe we are? Lol)

The past week he's been giving us a 6-7hr first stretch! Though he goes down at 8 so I'm still not getting all of that. Oh well. Here he is! watching big brother's hockey gamebeing silly morning family snuggles

So many ladies getting close to outside squishes!!!!

Keep the BFPs coming!

[spicysalmonroll]

mugster that beach pic is amazing!

My lil baby is one month old. Say what? Still in newborn diapers and clothes. And has four hundred new clothes waiting for her in the 0-3 month size. She'll be there so soon!

Here's my pretty girl. Do not quote!

I have been stalking this thread for a joy baby photo because I have missed it every single week! She's beautiful! And now I will sneak back into the bushes and just give out the love to everyone.

We had our A/S yesterday and everything is looking fantastic! It took a little searching, but we are clearly team blue! DS is getting a little brother and we are excited. Kiddo is also measuring big in every way, which has me exactly zero percent surprised since DS was also big at his A/S. The tech suggested that my due date would be moved 2 weeks earlier... but no way in heck will that happen. I know my O date and my midwife will go off of that. H and I are both really tall and so is DS, so adding a fourth tall member to our family is normal.

20 weeks tomorrow and *not* feeling "half baked." More like 15% baked or something. No way am I having a baby in only another 20 weeks.

They kept moving my due date up too, because K was measuring a certain way. I'm convinced that she was super early because she's so skinny and was so small a birth even though H and I are big people and were average or above average sized at birth. If we'd gone by my estimated date based on O, she would have been almost 2 full weeks later.

Hi GKU!

Baby K is 3 weeks old. Her weight issues seem to be over and she's finally well above birth weight. She's in the 91st percentile for length, but only the 15th percentile for weight, so she's a string bean of a kid.

This week we're on a road trip, and shes been a champ. I love that she's so easy to take places!


Asleep in the hotel room after a long day of driving.


Those eyes just kill me.


And her skeptical face.

Did they induce you? My midwife doesn't induce until after 42 weeks, and we would be having a conversation about dates and how sure I was I was due when I thought I was. So basically if we "moved" a due date now, it would be getting moved right back when I was term. With DS my fundal height measurement was small (after he measured big), so we were keeping an eye on that. He wound up being 8lbs 6oz at 40+1. Given all that history, I'm just expecting another bigger kiddo right around 38 weeks from O this time.

They did, at 39+2 because I had GD. She was almost a full pound smaller than they thought she would be based on fundal measurements, weighing 6lbs 9oz rather than 7.5 to 8lbs. I really think she's just been longer than average pretty much since that first US, and that threw everything off from then on.

That makes sense about GD. I'm not sure what my midwife's policy is there. I guessed DS would be eight and a half pounds and he just about was.

Ultimately it was still probably a good idea, because my blood pressure and urine samples were starting to look no good for pre-eclampsia, so my OB really didn't want to wait any longer.

Man, that feel when you come into this thread a day or two late and all you see are *poof*s everywhere.

Late to the party -.-

26 + 1 today. Nothing super new. Have an appointment scheduled to get my pelvis adjusted and hopefully get my back pain to disappear. Gained 8lbs since my last appointment last month so...Meh. Not happy. But everything else seems to be going well!
