How many weeks today:
Appointment plans/results:
How ya feeling:
Goals for the week/to do list:
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise)
Appointment plans/results: Last week I was 1.5 cm & 70% effaced. Curious to see what they say tomorrow at my appt.
How ya feeling: Not bad. Random contractions yesterday. Lots of peeing and I'm pretty exhausted lately but I really can't complain too much. This pregnancy has been a dream compared to DD's.
Goals for the week/to do list: Get through DH being out of town and then just get through the work week. Officially mentally checked out at work.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise) I hope it inherits my temperament. I am pretty laid back for the most part & calm. I think its a good trait to have. DH is one of the hardest working people I know, so I hope they get his work ethic. If this one is a boy, I hope they get his height as well

EDD: tomorrow!!
How many weeks today: 39+6
Appointment plans/results: If this little girl doesn't come, I feel like I'm spending all week at appointments! I have an NST and AFI scheduled for Wednesday morning. Thursday morning I have my regular OB appointment. If she doesn't have reason to induce me between those 2 visits and the baby hasn't come I have another NST on Saturday and my induction date is set for Sunday night.
How ya feeling: I feel physically pretty ok. Back pain, some swelling in hands and feet. Nothing atypical for completely full term. Tomorrow is my last shift at work, which was way more exciting when I felt like this baby was actually coming. I know things can start literally any second- but it just feels like it never is going to happen. Mentally I am discouraged and over it. But physically I can't really complain.
Goals for the week/to do list: I should get some postpartum "equipment", have a baby.
GTKY: My dimples, his ability to be so easy-going. I hope overall in the looks department she is a good mix of us. K is definitely a little bit of both, and we obviously think she's a cutie.

EDD: 2/5
How many weeks today: 40+1
Appointment plans/results: I have an appointment on Wednesday and will have my first cervical check. I don't have any expectations for it, my body is like Fort Knox.
How ya feeling: I'm doing good. Hoping to go to the chiropractor and log some miles walking at the gym tonight. I'll walk this baby out!
Goals for the week/to do list: I'm catching up on laundry today and I'm hoping to get my taxes mailed off before the baby comes.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise) Of course my red hair, DH'S personality. Both of our math skills, hard work ethic etc.
EDD: 2/23 How many weeks today: 37w4d Appointment plans/results: Last week I was 1 cm and 80% effaced. With all the contractions I've been having, I'm hoping for progress tomorrow.
How ya feeling: Sore, tired, and on edge with these contractions. H wanted to know when I'd know if they were the real thing. I told him if they don't go away, it's the real deal and to keep his phone charged and on him. He thinks he's getting dinner with his dad this week 1.5 hours away from home and 2.5 hours from the hospital. Ha! No.
Goals for the week/to do list: Finish packing my bag, clean up the house a bit, maybe get some more thank you notes done.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise) I really hope she gets her father's green eyes. I'd love for her to have his drive too. As for me, I hope she gets my rationality. I rarely let emotions completely get the best of me and I hope she has that too.

EDD: 2/17 / scheduled C-section Friday!!!
How many weeks today: 38w3d
Appointment plans/results: We have our last appointment and NST tomorrow. I doubt they'll do a cervical check (what's the point?!) and, as long as he passes the NST and my BP is fine, we wait until Friday for our C-section!
How ya feeling: So ready. I've been having really painful contractions for weeks and I'm so over it. This pregnancy has been a lot harder than J's, so I'm just ready to be done. But I'm also feeling some guilt about that. We're not having anymore kids, so I only have about 3.5 days to be pregnant for the rest of my life. No more baby kicks, no more watching my belly grow, no more anticipation... it's a weird place to be.
Goals for the week/to do list: Ummm... have a baby! Everything else is done
GTKY: I hope this baby has my teeth and MH's skin. I never needed braces or anything v. my poor H who had to have his entire jaw reconstructed due to a genetic trait. But my skin... woof! Between acne and psoriasis it's not been easy. MH on the other hand has beautiful olive skin and it's so clear. I also hope LO has MH's beautiful green eyes, but with my almond shape.

EDD: 2-15
How many weeks today: 38+5
Appointment plans/results: Midwife tomorrow. I'm hoping for her to at least say baby is back to being head engaged. I know there is still time, but I'm having flashbacks to being 10 days overdue with my first and I don't want to be there again.
How ya feeling: still good and really bad days. Yesterday was really bad. Nausea and terrible hip pain. Today is a better day. I feel bad on the bad days because I feel like a useless blob hiding in my room from our kids because I just don't want to be climbed on or touched at all really. Trying to be engaging today to make up for it. This hip pain is unreal though. Makes me glad this is the last baby.
Goals for the week/to do list: need to get some appointments out of the way. 2 more Kindergarten info sessions for DD1, booster vaccines for both kids tomorrow. For baby I need to do my hospital tour and update my info now that I have my card for this province. Also need to put the pack and play together to make sure all the pieces are there, and I want to pick up the video monitor.
GTKY: If it's a girl I hope it gets my personality. The women on DHs side are all BSC. If it's a boy as long as it's not like the older of my BILs I'm cool. DD2 is already a huge personality like him and I don't think I could handle 2 super dramatic children. I hope it sleeps as well as its siblings because I've never had sleep issues with them. And as far as looks, hoping for a red head like DH but it hasn't happened yet. Eyelashes and cheeks to die for like its sisters would be wonderful of course. And DHs adorable button nose...not my big nose. Basically look like him, act like me I guess.

EDD: 2.6.17
How many weeks today: 40 weeks! Holy shit. I made it.
Appointment plans/results: Regular cervical check on Wednesday. If no baby beforehand, induction on Friday morning.
How ya feeling: Ummm... about like any 40 week pregnant woman feels. Like a small, very clumsy hippo. Mobility is hard. I get short of breath a lot. Menstrual like cramps daily. Braxton hicks about 40% of days. Nothing that progresses into labor. Baby's still been pretty active though. She moves a lot, especially when she hears DH's voice. I think she loves him best already.
Goals for the week/to do list: Have this baby, preferably naturally and without induction. Pretend to work.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise)
Um... DH's family has some pretty big women. Like SIL is 6'4''. So I hope she gets more of my height (5'6'') and build. I'm also pretty resilient and emotionally intelligent. So I hope she will be too.
I hope she inherits DH's logical reasoning skills. He's a very methodical thinker and is very intelligent. (We both are, just about different things.) He's also very hard working and has really soft hair. (Random, but true.) So I hope she inherits those things.
We both have hazel eyes, so I hope she gets those and not my family's dark brown eyes. (That's what's dominant on my side.)

EDD: 2/27
How many weeks today: 37
Appointment plans/results: Thursday for NST and regular appointment with the Dr
How ya feeling: Good. I just wish I could do all the stuff I want to be doing, but I'm on "couch potato rest." Being off work early would be great, if I do what I want to do. I'm bored and my muscles are sad they aren't moving.
Goals for the week/to do list: Not go stir crazy.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise): I hope he's gets DH's drive and gets my easy going temperament. I have not always been easy going, it's something I've grown into as I got older. I hope he can be that way from a young age.

EDD: 2/24
How many weeks today: 37 +3
Appointment plans/results: Found out I'm GBS- and my platelets are still good. Next appointment is Wednesday.
How ya feeling: My biggest problems are this back pain when I bend too much, and my lovely hemorrhoid. I shouldn't complain. I am getting tired, though 😕
Goals for the week/to do list: finish the nursery and get the car seats installed. Also work on baby sewing projects.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise)
I hope she gets my calm demeanor (although I wasn't really a calm child), and H's more outgoing personality. I also hope she gets my chin dimple. I want my kids to match LOL.

EDD: 2/22
How many weeks today: 37+5
Appointment plans/results: Weekly appointment on Friday. OB will check dilation then. I'm curious to see if there's any progress.
How ya feeling: Tired and uncomfortable. I'm in that zone where I want the baby out! But overall, decent.
Goals for the week/to do list: Schedule and get a haircut, go to yoga twice, stay active, have sex, maybe get the baby out...
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise) MH is calm and laid back, and I am... not. I hope baby is less high-strung than I am. Physically, I want to contribute to baby girl's appearance even a little bit. Part of me would be sad for her to come out without any of my features, after all this work of growing her! But I definitely hope she gets MH's clear skin, long eyelashes and thick hair.

EDD: 2/19
How many weeks today: 38+1
Appointment plans/results: Belly check tomorrow. I skipped last weeks appt cause they have been so uneventful and I was having a rough day, but am looking forward to hearing if this baby is high or low..I'm not aware of that from just touching belly etc.
How ya feeling: Pretty good except for the RLP that just started attacking me after work. And also I don't want to answer this question IRL at work anymore. Online or via text it's fun, in person it's awkward.
Goals for the week/to do list: Get car cleaned, finish diaper changing dresser, hang art. Same list items that have been haunting me.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise)
What's wrong with me that I don't care about which traits LO gets? Is liking to read a trait? Lol. Appearance wise I just hope she looks like one of us, doesn't matter who. And then likes to read 🤗
Appointment plans/results: Appointment on Wednesday
How ya feeling: Physically? I feel awful and everything hurts and I'm dying. Lol. BUT! Emotionally I feel awesome!! I wanted to get to 37w sooo badly since #1 was a preemie, and I did it! I am so happy to be here. I am so glad to be pregnant still even though it's sooo uncomfortable and aching and I've had SPD since week 24ish which is misery. But I am more pregnant than I ever have been! So cool and crazy. Getting really excited to figure out the team green mystery too
Goals for the week/to do list: To not kill people over their asinine comments about my bigness. Also +1 on to pretend to work LOL.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise): Physicallly, I hope this next one looks a little like me since #1 is a CLONE of MH. Especially if it is a girl lol. It would be cute to have a boy who is a clone of dad and a girl who is a clone of mom we will see I guess. Non physically, I hope baby gets my academic mind and MH's big heart and generosity.
Appointment plans/results: All done with appointments until delivery day.
How ya feeling: Somewhat desperate to get bottom baby head down, but also less apprehensive about a c-section after talking to my OB. And itchy below my belly button, OMG the itch! Must not scratch because it will itch worse!
Otherwise same as before. Just a little more than before as it gets harder to move.
Goals for the week/to do list: I have everything to do and little help to do it. I hope MH will be done dealing with SS2's housing issue soon (this is not catastrophic; SS2 has thus far not been able to handle his own life consistently). Then he can help me more. My mom is sick, so I don't think she'll come down too long before the birth. We don't really have any other help. At least the "big" kids are in daycare all day so I can get some stuff done then.
High priority items include: sanitizing bottles (between sets of kids, not on a regular basis), wash car seats, install car seats, wash baby rocker covers, clear our closet and set up the PnP, set up new cameras in the closet over the PnP, and put up the baby gate at the top of the stairs so the hallway is baby-proofed for "big" kids.
ETA: I almost forgot that I have no clothes packed for me or kids to come home in. I should do that.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise) I hope they inherit my problem-solving abilities and MH's memory.

EDD: 2/25
How many weeks today: 37w 3d
Appointment plans/results: Appt today with my midwife
How ya feeling: Really not too terrible. Still have the umbilical pain when I do too much. Not sleeping well and lots of crotch pain, back gets tired easily but I'm thinking the baby may hold out until 40w.
Goals for the week/to do list: Get in touch with HR to finish paperwork, I'm such a procrastinator. And chip away at the baby room and should probably buy stuff for the home birth kit.
GTKY: What is 1 trait you have that you hope your offspring inherits from you? What is a trait you hope he/she/they inherit from their father? (Physical or otherwise) I couldn't think of anything but read above about the good teeth. I definitely hope this lil one gets my teeth, eyesight and hearing, all 3 are bad from DH's side.
Appt Plans/ Results: Nst and cervical check today. Praying for progress after Monday's shenanigans.
Goals For The Week: Just get through. There's too much going on right now and I'm feeling stressed. If I can hold it together till the weekend, I'll be alright.
GTKY: Physically, I hope she gets DH's eyes and hip bone health, and my dental health (but DH's structure) Personality, I hope she gets DH's work ethic and sense of adventure and my curiosity and creativity.
