QOTW - How about a non-baby related question.  Anyone watch the Golden Globes last night?  Have a best or worst dressed opinion?

[tiresiastheblond]

dancerspose, thanks for the checkin! Hope all's well!

AMF, 36 weeks, 1 day here. We'd been tentatively planning on inducing or doing a repeat c-section on ~Jan 29 (I guess delivery at 39 weeks is protocol for people taking meds for blood sugar), but I'm now rethinking that. Still woefully unprepared, but I finally have some days off to work on stuff. I wish I had some energy, too.

QOTW: I didn't see them (or know they were on, actually), but I've been reading about Meryl Streep's speech all morning. Good for her!

[glb30]

tiresiastheblond I hope you feel more ready as you get some stuff done while you are off!

jennykat welcome to third tri! I'm sorry about the scare. I hope your baby settles in for a couple more months.

AFM, 29w2d today. I have a regular OB appointment this week. Nothing new really going on, but we did get the nursery furniture and a rug in the baby's room so that is coming along! My shower is in 2 weeks, so we should get a lot of stuff then to complete it. Still struggling with vomiting and eating. Less worried though, as I was told as of my last appointment, the baby was measuring a week ahead.

QOTW- we had it on, but I was in and out. Those award shows kind of get on my nerves actually.

[dancerspose]

tiresiastheblond hope you get a lot done with your days off to make you feel better!

jennykat welcome to 3rd tri! I'm sorry again about the scare you had last week, but I'm glad everything looks good. Definitely continue to take it easy.

glb30 sorry you're still dealing with vomiting, but glad it isn't impacting baby's growth!

AFM - 34w4d here. My OB totally freaked me out last week when she informed me I was three weeks away from being full term. I politely reminded her I have 6 weeks, not 3. But I guess it's time to face reality that we're getting close. We took our birthing class this past Saturday. DH was bored out of his mind (has delivered babies as an EMT), and out of the 6 hours of class I probably found a grand total of 1-1.5 hours useful. But it was good to see the labor and delivery rooms. I'm taking a breastfeeding class tomorrow evening. Other than that, I'm hoping to have the nursery done by the end of this weekend, but we'll see.

QOTW - jennykat I agree about Anna Kendrick's dress. I'm normally a fan of hers, but those weird boob cups ruined what could have been a nice dress. I did like Kristin Bell's dress. And yes, Meryl Streep proved once again how awesome she is!

[turquoisequeen]

tiresiastheblond are you rethinking hoping that you would wait to go into labor on your own instead?

jennykat sorry for your scare! Glad all is ok.

glb30 glad your nursery is coming along!

dancerspose I felt the same way about the 6 hr class and there was no tour with that so it's good you got to see the rooms.

I'm 32w1d and have about 5 weeks (or less) left as we will induce on 2/15 due to ICP. I hope hope baby girl stays put until at least 36 weeks. First NST and a check up are tomorrow.

Made some progress on the nursery over the weekend and have almost all my cloth newborn diapers ready to go!

QOTW: I saw it was on and almost watched bc I like Jimmy Fallon but didn't end up watching.

I am so late to update I'm so sorry!!

Our precious little girl has arrived!
I woke up Christmas morning at 6 am to my water breaking and headed to the hospital. It seemed just perfect that we would have a true Christmas miracle in every way! But....she had other plans. After 23 hrs of labor with an epidural that didn't work I only made it to 6cm and ended up having a Csection under general anesthesia the morning of the 26th. I woke up to a beautiful baby girl latched on me and even though I missed her birth it all turned out beautifully! She is perfect in every way.

I will continue to lurk and root you all on! I am so excited for all of you to get to feel this immense love soon

[kaf7]

I am lurking from SAIF and just wondering if anyone has a line on runcici? Just wondering if she has had a baby and how she is doing.

[dancerspose]

angm123 thanks for the update! I've been wondering how you're doing! I'm sorry things didn't go as planned, but glad everything worked out and mama and baby are both doing well! Congratulations!!!

She is still pregnant and doing really well! She's 35 weeks and some change.

[Evelyn3]

36+3 , im almost next?!?
Crazy.
Can't believe it's almost done.
Have a regular weekly check tomorrow, and GBS swab.
Trying to finish up things at work, that's been stressing me a bit, so I just want to get things passed off this week to make me feel better about the whole thing.

QOTW: I watched a bit but not a huge fan.

tiresiastheblond hope you get your stuff accomplished on your days off

jennykat sorry for the scare, sounds similar to my situation, I just had contractions, but he had dropped very low as well.
I was told just to take it easy and it seemed to help.
He's basically stayed low ever since.

glb30 sorry about the vomiting. Glad you're less worried with the measurements!

dancerspose yup! Getting close!!!

turquoisequeen have a good appt tomorrow

angm123 congratulations!!

[kaf7]

Thanks turquoisequeen! Please give her my best wishes.

[rslh10]

dancerspose would you add me to the list, please

EDD is 4/5, but I have a repeat c-section scheduled for 3/15 @ 8am! I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow, and carrying one active little girl.

We're just cruising along on lovenox shots, and trying to keep my anxiety under control. As I hit 3rd tri I noticed it ramp up a little, so I didn't like that at all. Other than that, slowly slowly making progress on changes feom Kenley's nursery decor to This baby's nursery. It's actually pretty difficult to do.

We had a painter out yesterday to quote painting the room and I wanted to die. I had to leave the room and let my husband talk to him because I just became a crying idiot.

I have a shower this Sunday which freaks me out to think about, as we didn't have one with Kenley and I feel guilty about it.

I also now have my new stroller and car seat. Our new glider is officially in as well and we just need to pick it up. I realllllllly hope I'm not jinxing things. While I know it's not rational to think that way, it's so hard not to.

Hoping to hang out and stay sane here for the next 9 weeks!

[glb30]

angm123 congratulations!!!

@rlsh10 I'm sorry third tri and the nursery is bringing up some anxiety. I hope the next 9 weeks fly, and your rainbow is here before you know it!

[glb30]

Evelyn3 you are so close! Hope you get work under control so you feel more comfortable about that!

[dukegirlsc]

dancerspose can you add me please?

EDD 3/13/17 (37 weeks due to twins)
team status boy girl twins!

28w2d and doing well, thankful to be in the 3rd trimester!

[rslh10]

I don't really know where to put this, but I think it's cute so I want to share!

We had our repeat 4D scan yesterday and we got one good pic of Alden. Well, she looks identical to my son, and Kenley.

She was also kicking in one specific spot, so the tech moved the wand there and this is what we saw:

SPOILER: Click to show

Girlfriend had her leg sticking straight up, holding her toes with her hand! I just laughed so hard. She's going to be a handful, and I just cannot wait until she's here.

Thanks for asking kaf7

Ladies, I'm sorry to be a turd and drop off the face of the earth!! I am happy to report that this time it's because I have been enjoying a healthy pregnancy I am 36w2d and baby girl is thriving!! My OB gave me a high five at my last appointment for our nearly 6lb baby (she measured 5lb 15oz at her 36w growth scan). My doctors have been keeping a close eye on us the entire pregnancy with weekly appointments. Baby girl has been completely reassuring the whole time, and always tries to pass her BPP in one screen shot I feel so truly blessed by this pregnancy and rainbow baby... as we close in on the last stages of pregnancy, I am filled with all the emotions!! We are so excited for her birth... the thought of hearing her cry for the first time, nursing in my glider, seeing her face... I get all choked up thinking about bringing home a baby from the hospital this time. We know her angel siblings are watching over her, and think of them every single day. I just started my maternity leave, and hope to soak in every last drop of this pregnancy. I don't know if I'll get the chance to be pregnant again, and I don't want to rush it along! I want to savor every moment!!!

Scrolling up to catch up on everyone here... I hope you're all doing well!!!

[kaf7]

runcici my heart is so happy for this update. Please let us know when baby is here how you're doing.

What a cutie!!! I'm so glad to hear you're doing well!! I read your comment above about transitioning Kenley's nursery to prepare for Alden. Sending lots of hugs I had a lot of similar emotions come up when we moved Rosa & Robin's things out to make room for our rainbow. We have a spare bedroom that we use as a reading room, so we dedicated a wall to our angel twins I love it. The glider and book case is set up in there, and I'm looking forward to nursing and reading to Rosie (rainbow baby) while feeling like we are all there together. My baby shower also brought up all the feels... Rosa was stillborn the weekend we had scheduled her shower, so we never got to celebrate her in that way. It is one of my biggest regrets. But Rosie's shower was a joyous occasion, and my family made sure to incorporate my angels into the event. It was absolutely perfect, and I hope yours is too.

Thank you!! I've been wondering how you have been I love that the reading room has the Angels in there so you can all be together. That is such a wonderful way to remember them. I don't have another spare room upstairs (3bd) but my basement is finished and has a guest room. We put Kenley's nursery decor down there. Her rug and nightstand are down there so far, and next her light fixture will go down there. The colors match everything I already had in there so it makes me feel like it's being used.

As for the shower, I'm nervous but I'm going to try and release my anxiety about it to enjoy it some. I know that deep down we're all kind of celebrating Kenley in a way too. All my kids will always be intertwined.

((Hugs)) momma. Thanks for this. I needed to hear it today.
