How far along are you? 33 weeks
How are you feeling, any symptoms, rants raves or fears? Other than some nerve pain in my pelvis, I'm doing okay. Getting sick of people telling me how close to the end I must be, then when I tell them that I have until June they say, "Now are you sure it's not twins?". If this keeps happening I may end up delivering this baby in jail My fear is that since this baby is already measuring so large that it's going to be huge! My son was 7lbs 12oz and still had shoulder distochia, so I worry that it will happen again.
GTKY: What will you be checking off your to do list this week? Buying a few last baby items because of all the sales (this is irrational but I need to buy baby socks I have none and it's freaking me out for some odd reason) I also need to start the baby quilt and finish sewing burp cloths, cloth wipes and a couple of blankets.
Symptoms/fears/raves: I've had a heavy weight in my pelvic region for the last week or two, a sore back as I can't get comfortable sleeping anymore, snoring, and just overall exhaustion. One of my fears is that this LO is going to come early I'm not ready and I want baby to bake as long as possible. My other major fear is that something will go wrong. Facebook has done nothing to ease these fears (in fact, it's made them worse) as there have been numerous posts about stillborns. I'm always making sure I can feel LO multiple times a day. My next appointment is next Wednesday and then after that I move onto weekly appointments.
GTKY: I started to wash all of the gender neutral clothes from DD. I'm just going to tackle the 0-3 sizes for now and then I'll wash the bigger things as we go on. I still want to wash up all of the blankets this week too and organize the closet. I also need to buy a new change pad and wipe down all of the furniture.
How are you feeling, any symptoms, rants raves or fears? I am tired!
GTKY: What will you be checking off your to do list this week? Another appointment that's tomorrow ( my last appointment with my MFM) and that is it! I wish it was more sleep!
We hit 32 weeks today. I keep vacillating between "almost done!" and "damn, still 8 weeks?!" 8 weeks seems so short until I remember that it's still 20% of a full-term pregnancy!
I'm feeling pretty good most days, but the kicks in the bladder/leakage, heaviness in my pelvis, and the increase in swelling are definitely not my favorite symptoms. I'm glad bub is moving lots, but as he gets bigger and stronger, it's actually starting to hurt sometimes! Little ninja, indeed. I'm trying to simultaneously enjoy every last minute of this pregnancy because I'm not sure I'll be able to have another, and to eagerly count down the end of this whale feeling and the time when we finally get to meet this amazing little dude.
This week we are ordering the crib, finishing up the mudding/painting in the baby space, and having a growth scan this Friday. I'm also nesting and will clean anything and everything if o have the energy!

How far along are you? 31 weeks, starting to really get the "so close yet still so far" feeling
How are you feeling, any symptoms, rants raves or fears? Feeling more confident and positive lately. Headache is more under control, still ever present and preventing me from driving GRRR, but more tolerable and manageable. Maybe just the realization that I have less time LEFT of this pregnancy than the amount of time I've been dealing with this migraine makes it seem like OKAY I CAN DO THIS! Also, been reading through HypnoBirthing and practiving the mantras, relaxation techniques and feeling good about it. Trying to eliminate fear/anxiety from here on out. Doing pretty well so far!
GTKY: What will you be checking off your to do list this week? MOVING!!!!! Finally found an apartment, and we're about 3/4 of the way moved out of the old and into the new. Feels SO GOOD!
How are you feeling, any symptoms, rants raves or fears? I was uncharacteristically emotional yesterday. I made an appointment with an OB from the practice I don't know as well intentionally because I hadn't decided how I felt about her after the mere 1 apt I had with her previously. Well now I decided I definitely do not like her. It seems like she didn't bother to read my charts prior to my appointment at all which annoyed me so when I brought things up she was completely unprepared and gave me crappy answers. Then she told me that they didn't need to see me again for another 4 weeks, which if she would have bothered to read my charts she would know why my appointments are more frequent than that. I'm never going to schedule another apt with her.
GTKY: What will you be checking off your to do list this week? I am close to being done planning for newborn photos. I started washing / cleaning a bunch of stuff leftover from DD. I also fully transitioned DD off bottles (finally) so I can put the bigger bottles the newborn isn't going to use anytime soon away.
