33 weeks. Not keeping up with fruit.

I cannot believe I am four weeks from "full term." Inconceivable! I'm alternating weeks between OB appointment and prenatal massage/acupuncture now. This week was the massage and it is the most heavenly hour ever. If you haven't done it, I so highly recommend it. My therapist is also going to be my doula and we did our first doula appointment with her this week and I feel so much calmer and more confident about my hopes to go med free after that meeting. She is so peaceful and positive and encouraging. Next OB appointment is a routine check on Tuesday.

QOTW: I just came from our bi annual consignment sale. I bought a cosleeper for the bed, baby bath tub, six infant gowns, two swaddle sacks, four newborn outfits, and a bunch of random infant toys. And thanks to the gift certificate I won on their FB page, I spent a total of $6. SCORE!!

32w tomorrow, squash.

lots of heartburn, pregsomnia, things are def slowing down. Baby moves all night long.

qotw: Had PT conference with DS1's teachers and he's apparently ahead of the curve with most things, plus they called him a role model for the other kids.

34 weeks tomorrow!!! Basketball size belly.
My next appointment is May 7th. Doc said at that point I'll have my last ultrasound before delivery ( maybe this is an AMA thing?) just to make sure the fluid and placenta look ok.

At my last appointment he said there was some protein in my urine but he wasn't concerned because my blood pressure is low.

Something happy...one of my friends just had her baby today. A boy! I was thinking of her all night since she was in labor since 6am yesterday. So excited for her.

I'm finishing up my hospital bag today and buying NB diapers. Everything else is good to go . We have a long Baby girl name list that I'm hoping to finalize this weekend.

My parents are coming up tomorrow to babysit DS so DH and I can go out and have breakfast together/ go on a hike at the Griffith observatory.

32 Weeks today! Baby is the size of a squash...

Feeling ok. Lots of heartburn this week, and just general discomfort. Major headache today, but i think that's because DH and I got into an argument last night and I cried quite a bit. Hopefully, that will resolve itself soon.

Appointment this week went great! LO is measuring a week ahead, is head down, great HB and fluid levels... Couldn't be better! Plus, we got to do our 3d/4d ultrasound, and got some amazing pictures of our beautiful son. Totally going to AW for a minute and share a few here:

Something happy: this next week at school is the craziest of the year, and then it's pretty much coasting for me until we get out for the summer in May 22. I am SO looking forward to getting caught up on things in my classroom, and especially excited about having some time off before LO comes. Also, just found out one of my best friends in town is pregnant! She is due in November. They've been trying for a while- I'm so happy for them!!

33 weeks:-)

I'm every other week apts now. Getting a massage every week so that's awesome. I've been in a lot of pain, and heartburn is awful.

Something happy... I'm at my lake house for the first time this year. It's a bit chilly in northern PA but it's still nice to be on the dock with the boat in the water. Only gonna be able to come up a few more times before it is too uncomfortable to ride in the care for 2 hours.

32 weeks today! Really starting to think in terms of x weeks left of work, x weeks until d day now. Exciting!
Regularly having trouble sleeping now mostly due to back pain. But getting by. Worried about work in the last few weeks just from fatigue but I'll get there.
Next appt is 7 May, expect it to be brief and routine but will be due for another anti-d shot then. Joy.
Something happy: I'm headed up the coast today to have lunch with some of my best friends. We grew up together and find it hard to all have time to catch up very often so I'm looking forward to it.
A few cant come to my shower next weekend so it will be nice to see them today instead.

Weeks, fruit: 32 weeks, squash...although only 7 weeks till delivery! Not going to lie and say I'm sad about that extra week ;-)

Appointments/milestones/symptoms/thoughts: Next appt is Thurs. Aside from the back pain and leg cramps, I'm doing ok considering that I have a small human inside of me. Have to call the insurance company on Monday because my damn OB's office is refusing to call this anything other than an "elective" c-section since the medical reasons for having it are not obstetric. But on the bright side, the OB doing my c-section is the one who has been really supportive and totally gets the reasoning behind doing the C.

QOTW: This is my last week of classes for grad school! I can't wait to be done! And to make it even better, Thurs & Fri are parent/teacher conference days, for which I do not have a single parent signed up (probably because who wants to talk to the substitute at the end of the school year?) and so I have two full days to sit in my classroom and do all the finishing touches on my own work for grad school.

Weeks/fruit - 32 weeks today which based on the other posts puts me at squash.

Appointments/milestones/symptoms/thoughts: I have my regular bi-weekly appointment coming up on Thursday. They've gotten pretty boring, which is great news. At the last one, my BP was a tad high but not concerning. They told me to just keep my feet up a little more. Symptoms - my lower back has been bothering me for a few weeks now, but prenatal massage and the chiropractor are working wonders.

QOTW: We've been having our kitchen done, and it's been a huge cause of stress (my house is a complete disaster). Aside from the electrician finishing (putting in outlets, turning on the disposal & dishwasher, hanging 2 lights, and some extra work we asked for in our hallway), it's done, and looks AMAZING. Also going to prenatal yoga with my pregnant best friend today, so that will be fun.

33 weeks yesterday. Idk what the fruit is. I feel like it's a basketball though.

Had my 32 week appt on Wednesday and it was all fine. Things just keep trucking along how they're supposed to.

Something happy is today is H's birthday! I'm making a cake and we'll go to dinner with some friends later. I got him a stuffed gonnorhea microbe from thinkgeek.com as a joke. As a non-native English speaker he thinks that word is hilarious and calls all his friends "gonos" instead of "bros" or "dudes". Of course DD thinks it's cute and has been snuggling it all morning. br]
Also good: the renovations/repairs on our house will start this week. I'm so glad to get them done before baby arrives.

34 weeks

Routine appt this Tuesday. I'll likely schedule the remainder of my appointments as well. Still feeling mostly good. Have bouts of sciatica and other pains (reflux at night and squished lungs) but surprised how good I feel. Especially since I'm up 33/44 lbs already. ..

Something happy: a few days ago DS (21 months) said "baby" and lifted up my shirt. I asked him if he could give baby a kiss and he kissed my belly. I realize he really doesn't know what's going on, but he does seem to be understanding a bit more than he did before. I'm excited to see his reaction to his baby sister once she arrives.

32 weeks today!
Next appointment is next Monday but our last childbirth preparation class is tomorrow night-I was unsure about them at first but I really like the lady teaching the class and have learned a bit
Symptoms seem mild and nothing out of the ordinary-lack of sleep, achy body. The thing that has been really obnoxious is my skin is all broken out, probably the worst it has ever been. It's super obnoxious, especially with limited treatments with pregnancy. But I'm thinking it's probably hormonal and temporary and I've been lucky thus far.
Happy things: nursery is just about done, ordered the last things we needed yesterday before Target's baby sale ended also I just got done eating a hot fudge sundae-that's always happy in my books

[bruunk]

32 weeks. I have no idea the fruit size... He feels big

We have an appointment tomorrow, and I have acupuncture later this week too (trying to go at least once a week). Symptom wise, kiddo moves like a maniac and I'm tired but feeling good!

Something happy: nursery area is sorted and set up! Finally feeling like I'm in nesting mode and I'm enjoying if so much to do! Hospital bags next. Got to spend a lovely day yesterday at the family baby shower and a breakfast with Mom today. It was a good weekend!
