Weeks/Size of Baby: 38+5, baby sized. Or a Pomeranian. Whichever.
Symptoms: All the painful ones minus heartburn.
Appointments: This Thursday. I hate holidays. It screws up my Tuesday appointments. Also, this baby better be here by my appointment or there better be more progress. Learning you're 4cm/80% at 38 weeks is a mindfuck.
To Do's: Not much, actually. The house is 80% clean and clean in all the major rooms. Nothing super deep cleaned but cleaned. Car seats are installed, crib is set up, "changing table" is set up, baby clothes are washed and put away. It was a busy weekend.
Rants/Raves/Randoms: Nada. Just fucking tired. So tired. All the time. And the pain. The pain needs to end.
QOTW: Do you know the muffin man?: No, but his cousin Muffin Top and I are pretty close.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 32+5. Size... big enough to not let me breathe.
Symptoms: I'm big. Nausea. Some insomnia at times. I feel utterly terrible.
Appointments: Next Tuesday.
To Do's: Everything. All the stuff. I've been putting off getting ready for this kid until after Christmas travels. Well, today is day 1 of after Christmas for me.
Rants/Raves/Randoms: I can't be having this kid next month. I mean, really? Seriously? I'm feeling more ready for actual labor lately, though, which is good.
QOTW: Do you know the muffin man? I'm the muffin woman around here. does that count?
Symptoms: I am so uncomfortable and I know it is going to get worse. Just trying to stick it out.
Appointments: On Wednesday! Just a check up.
To Do's: All the organization. I partially packed my hospital bag this weekend so I feel accomplished but... so much left to do...
Rants/Raves/Randoms: I am obsessing over the calendar and if I will make it to term. About 5 weeks til I will breathe a little easier. Basically I have memorized what the January and February calendars look like.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 31 weeks/ foam finger 😒
Symptoms: pelvic pain is getting worse, overshadows all other symptoms. Finally bought some bio oil for my itchy belly, shit smells so good.
Appointments: belly check next wed
To Do's: only last minute stuff since we're not doing a nursery until we move in may. Mostly clean all of my DS old stuff and set up and hospital bag which I'm still in denial about packing lol maybe cuz DS was late...
Rants/Raves/Randoms: having all the feels about being able to take care of a newborn and a toddler, I'll have help but will be on my own for the most part 😳
QOTW: Do you know the muffin man? Weird memes when u google muffin man lol
Weeks/Size of Baby: 37w2d, swiss chard...or 1/2 a medium pizza.
Symptoms: Feeling SO done. Being large. Dealing with body image issues. More and more stretchies every day. Can't get comfortable sleeping for the life of me.
Appointments: Belly check tomorrow.
To Do's: Prep hospital bag. Organize house a bit so in-laws won't judge me if they have to stay overnight to watch DD.
Rants/Raves/Randoms: Ugh, just so ready. I have major maternity leaveitis. On a positive note, I called my new insurance provider and it seems like we're good to go for coverage and stuff, so that's nice. I also started my leave claim paperwork at work.
QOTW: Do you know the muffin man? Funny: growing up, I always thought he lived on "Blueberry Lane" not "Drury Lane". It made so much more sense to me.
Appointments: next week, last biweekly appointment
To Do's: Still so much, I'm about to start working on the nursery again
Rants/Raves/Randoms: I'm getting very tired of all of the, oh your huge, you'll definitely go early, comments. I know own I'm huge, but that is no indication of anything. And also, early babies aren't necessarily healthy babies, I prefer my baby to be healthy thank you.
QOTW: Do you know the muffin man? I miss muffins...
kartish - this grinds my gears. I'm measuring full term even though I'm 32+3 because I'm pregnant with twins and I have had so many people be like "I bet it's this week!"
No. Just no. Please do not "bet" that my kids are born 2 MONTHS EARLY!
Idiots.
People keep telling me I look small for twins so I get the opposite problem. They say "I bet those babies will be super tiny". No, do not get that my babies will be low birth weight.

Do people not know that low birth weight is not a good thing? No wishing tiny babies!
