Feeling very anxious. My water already broke at this point with DS so I feel like I've already entered the phase where you're just sitting around waiting. Physically everything from my boobs down hurts. My stomach is tender, there's a lot of pressure on my pelvis. I'm also just tired. Also hormonal and ragey lol.
I may be getting put on insulin next week. I got a little lax with my GD diet with the news that DD was measuring small rather than big, plus Valentine's Day, plus Girl Scout cookies. As for prepping, everything is done except washing bottles. I may get to that this weekend. I'm also going to take it easy this weekend in hopes that I make it to at least Monday since DH basically works until then and my Ob is OOT.
NST on Monday and I'll be 37 weeks on Tuesday.
QOTW: a cat. Sometimes I can be playful like a kitten but other times I'm an old moody cat.

How far along are you? 32w2d

How are you feeling (emotionally/physically)? Physically I have hit the hard to breath stage and the point in my pregnancy where sleeping is awkward. I am a back sleeper and sleeping on my side makes it hard to breath; I remember hating that part of pregnancy with the last two and being so excited to sleep on my back postpartum. Oh, and I should just buy stock in Tums.

Emotionally I am just really overwhelmed. We have some big stuff we have to get done in the next four weeks and some big stuff we'd like to get done in the next four weeks. Except if anything is going to get done I have to do it. I love DH, but he is driving me bsc with not helping. It's not that he's lazy, I just don't know what it is - he just doesn't help at home. We need to have a come to Jesus talk and I don't know how to phrase anything that will not sound like nagging. I got snippy this weekend because he was being a dick about me relieving him from child watching so he could go to work (I was gone maybe 2 hours and I went to the gym, did his work banking, bought milk, then came home to eat something and shower). He got short with me because "he has so much s%&^ to do". Seriously? You are not the only one with stuff to do. Anyways, I know I need to say something, but I need to phrase it so he does not tune me out.

Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc.? See above vent. Everything needs to be done.

Upcoming milestones or appointments? Nothing special. Regular appointment beginning of March.

QOTW: What would be your personal mascot? Honey badger. I realize I have been holding myself back out of fear of failure and I need to be more fearless.

My twins were born 2/13 by c-section: 6lb6oz (boy) and 6lb3oz (girl). Bottom baby (girl) had turned every direction except head down. We are all doing well.

How are you feeling (emotionally/physically)? Pretty good, but big.  Got my first 'you must be close!' comment today.  Nope, just my third kid.  

Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc.?  We got to Hawaii (Aulani) on Sunday for a sort of babymoon with kids!

Upcoming milestones or appointments? Had my 24-week appt/glucose test today.  Fingers crossed for a normal result.

QOTW: What would be your personal mascot?  No idea!  I need to think about this one....

Sorry stuck in the box!

How far along are you? Week/Fruit/Whatever: 36w 2d

How are you feeling (emotionally/physically)? Everything aches and I'm always tired. But there is so much to do before the baby arrives in less than 3 weeks!

Other updates? Thoughts, vents, baby preparations, etc.? DS is now in his big boy room! Now we need to get the baby's room ready by pulling out the 0-3 month clothes and raising the crib mattress. I also have to get bottles washed.

Upcoming milestones or appointments? Growth u/s and NST tomorrow. Another NST on Friday. C-section scheduled for 03/18.

QOTW: What would be your personal mascot? I would say hummingbird right now because I am frantically trying to complete a million tasks before the baby gets here. Between prepping my coworkers, students, house, and family for my impending leave, no wonder I am so tired!
