Weeks/Size of Baby: 32+3. Squash. Roughly 3.5-4 pounds.

Symptoms: Fat. Always hungry. Always uncomfortable.

Appointments: Monday 2/27. Every 2 weeks now.

To Do's: Finish packing hospital bag. Choose a pediatrician. Complete registry.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I hate being this uncomfortable. I really don't know why it's this bad. My SPD has been completely unbearable at night (the moving from laying to standing). I'm thinking I should try sleeping on the couch.

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be?

I love what I do but I'd like to be out of the sales portion. I'd love to be a doula (maybe someday)

[hpnegirl]

onesweetworld I'd recommend ours but they're a bit of a hall from where you are

[amandamh2]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 34 + 1

Symptoms: generally uncomfortable but that's about it

Appointments: regular check up tomorrow, ultrasound to check position Monday

To Do's: book hospital tour, clean car seat and bassinet

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Chasing my toddler is getting really difficult now that I'm a lot bigger. He's getting faster and faster but I'm getting slower which is not a good combination.

QOTW: Right now I SAH and enjoy it but the day I get to go back for my second degree and get into teaching will be exciting.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 38/Pomeranian 😒

Symptoms: hurts when she moves, oh the lightning crotch and although my pelvis feels a little better my back is now hurting more. Tons of BH no matter what I do.

Appointments: tomorrow morning belly check w a possible cervical check.

To Do's: baby stuff is all ready! Just trying to keep up on the house work, sweat so hard vacuuming today lol

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I have a strong feeling I'll make it to my due date (6th) but oh I'd love to be done now.

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be? Actually looking into LC once I'm done SAH. But I have a degree in nutrition and always wanted to work for wic or something similar too.

[mustloveerica]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 33 weeks/twin girls/about 4lbs each

Symptoms: still not sleeping much and just feeling large. Day to day activities are getting difficult.

Appointments: Friday for weekly NST and belly check and monthly growth ultrasound

To Do's: not much actually. I'd say we're pretty ready for these girls. I do want to clean/reorganize/purge the kitchen to make a dedicated baby cabinet tho

Rants/Raves/Randoms: DH had to tie my shoe at the grocery store the other day. How embarrassing.

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be? I really don't like my job at all. I wish I had gone into a career with animals but everyone talked me out of it when I was choosing a college path.

[ladytiffany24]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 34w6d/likely 5ish pounds

Symptoms: Generally uncomfortable, out of breath while doing nearly anything, some BH here and there, starting to have some random lightning crotch, some back pain and exhaustion

Appointments: First cervical check Thursday at 36 weeks!

To Do's: We're mostly ready. Need to pack a bag for DD for when she'll be going to the sitter when I go into labor. I have one more "sprinkle" next Tuesday and depending on what I get there, there may be a couple of small things I need to buy.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Sex is non-existent these days and on the rare chance it happens, I don't even enjoy it. Lame.

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be? I'd love to be in the entertainment industry somehow, probably like a Guiliana Rancic. I'd be all over that red carpet.

Weeks/Size of Baby: 29w4d / New England Cottontail Rabbit

Symptoms: Heartburn, Nausea is returning, RLP, Insomnia, BH every evening

Appointments: Normal check tomorrow with the one midwife I don't like.

To Do's: Finish the nursery (furniture comes next week), make a list of what we still need to buy and what we can reuse from DD

Rants/Raves/Randoms: I feel like the worst mom and wife lately. When I get home from work, I just have no energy and pretty much collapse on the couch before I go to bed at 8. DD has mostly stopped asking me to play because she knows I'm basically a lump. It breaks my heart.

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be? I would love to be a buyer for a major retailer. That's actually what my undergrad degree is in (fashion merchandising) and I worked as an asst buyer for 3 years out of college but the pay was not great and you have to live in a big city which I was not ready for. To go back now would require a very large pay cut for me so it's just not an option.

@amc25 I'm glad you posted the info about ICP. My hands and feet have been unbearably itchy the last few weeks. I thought it was just dry skin. I also can't stand to wear the panel of my maternity pants without wanting to scratch my belly raw. I'm going to have to ask about this at my appt this week.

[icedtea]

Aww sleepymonkey, you're not horrible. She won't even remember this, and it's just a blip in time.

[ThankfulSnail]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 32 weeks today/honeydew

Symptoms: Heartburn, my back hurts all the time, I can't get enough sleep. I'm also at that fun stage where I'll be STARVING and then after a small portion I realize I am just FULL and there's nowhere else for the food to go.

Appointments: Next OB appt is 3/1.

To Do's: A thousand things. On the docket for this week are to check DD's old bottles for mold and if ok, sanitize and put them away, check her old NB and 0-3 month onesies for stains/re-usability, clean out DD's old dresser so baby can use it, wash and put away all of DD's gender-neutral 0-3 month clothes, put her NB & 0-3 month girl clothes somewhere handy in case team green turns team pink, buy new cordless shades for the kids' rooms, and buy curtain rods for the nursery.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Now that DD has finally been moved out of the nursery, it is beginning to feel very real that there will be another baby in our home soon. I have tons to get done first, but I am so excited to meet this little person!

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be? I know it's not easy, but I would give anything to be a SAHM. Unfortunately, my family can't get by without my salary.

[cosmicav]

Weeks/Size of Baby: 39 weeks!!! Baby sized.

Symptoms: I'M SO FUCKING UNCOMFORTABLE.... but I am doing okay. I also feel gargantuan.

Appointments: I had one today! I am 1.5-2cm dilated! Next appointment is Monday, if I am still pregnant.

To Do's: There's nothing left really.... I was prepared for an early baby after my first was a preemie, but it looks like I may very well see my due date. Kind of surreal, lol. Also a weird thought that it could be any day now. I haven't ever been in this waiting stage, and it is interesting.

Rants/Raves/Randoms: Well, my SPD has gotten extra horrible since the baby engaged with my pelvis. The pain is hard to deal with. But I am trying to count my blessings. I wouldn't mind the baby showing up soon though......

QOTW: If you could have any profession, what would it be? I would love to animate cartoons.
