Hi everyone
How we doing?
We're getting close! Soon we will be packing hospital bags! any updates/concerns/questions for STMs?

[icedtea]

My anxiety is ramping up, had a last minute OB appt this morning to address it. But baby is good otherwise and I'm looking forward to getting to the end of this.

[irish14]

Wooooo!! This one likes to do tap dances in the evening lately. She also seems to like doughnuts so I may indulge her this morning

It's a little surreal to be thinking about packing but I'm very happy we're close. (STM tip that's been shared already: pack an extra duffel and clean out your hospital room before you leave....)

I'm traveling in a week or so and hoping all is calm and well and no issues while I'm away... looking up hospitals near where we're staying just in case. Hopefully the universal law will apply that if I'm all prepared I won't need any of it.

icedtea, same here with anxiety...ugh
irish14, yes, great tip! Take everything! Cream, pads, diapers, wipes take all the thinnngsss

[irish14]

shandorfml2 and those snap-side baby shirts! We used those constantly for the first couple weeks. And the blue and pink striped receiving blankets.

I'd empty the supply caddy like 1x/day so they'd refill it, and stash the duffel away, so we took home more. I figure we're paying enough for the stay I might as well get my $ worth

Confession on the wrong day, I also do this with hotel pens if I'm staying more than 1 night. If you take the pen they leave you another one.

[shandorfml2]

hahaha, yep irish14, and the little soaps/shampoos at hotels as well?

overall doing well here. starting to think more about birthing and realize how much I haven't done yet!

I started the hypnobabies home study last week and am really liking it. I need to get back to the chiropractor. I missed last week and am increasingly uncomfortable....I'm also done with the "due any day" comments.

Hi ladies!

Doing well over here. I passed my glucose test and fundal height measured right on track last week, so that was a big relief. It's hard to believe May is getting close!

Big (((hugs))) to anyone who needs them. I know I'm ready for her to be here in my arms.

Had a scare over the weekend when he wasn't moving much. He didn't respond to drinking juice or anything. So I went to L&D and an ultrasound showed him happily bouncing away. Good to know he was moving even though I couldn't feel it. Since then he's been on overdrive and I have felt more kicks than I have before. He's keeping me on my toes!

Ugh. Hospital bag. Thinking of putting one together is very triggering for me, so MH is tasked with putting together the suitcase. I told him I don't care which of my clothes he puts in it or what outfit he picks for the baby, he is not to ask for my opinion on what goes in the bag.

[shandorfml2]

iheartbroccoli, understandable....let H do it. You will be fine no matter what is packed in the bag!

Doing pretty well here, just cannot BELIEVE I'm already almost 31 weeks. I feel so unprepared for this baby. And still so much to do (taxes, buying cars that will fit 3 kids, etc.). I'm starting to stress, did I mention last week I'm throwing a baby shower for my BFF when I'm 37 weeks? I'm excited and love to party plan, but I'm stressing because of it as well - I'm just so tired at night and that's when I need to be working on it. Guess I'll get it all figured out somehow!

iheartbroccoli I'm so sorry you had a scare over the weekend! These little ones cause so much stress and anxiety, even in the womb. So glad all is well with your babe!

[shandorfml2]

katie0919, oh god taxes...forgot about that. I can't believe I'm 31weeks either...this pregnancy is going by faster than my others. I have six weeks until my c-section and I am feeling frantic!! Good luck on the car search. I want to upgrade...we only have two in car seats but we are eventually looking at adopting and I want something higher that is easy to get carseats/toddlers in and out of.

gah taxes. DH is part self employed and we have a nanny above board so we're technically employers too - they're gonna be a real B this year. That's our project for this weekend.
