-32 weeks, and honestly I'm not sure of the fruit this week because I haven't gotten the email yet. Lol
-I'm great, but generally ready to not be pregnant any more.
-Biggest thing weighing on me is to get the bassinet we'll use from my parent's house, clean it up and set it up in our room. The nursery is done but I want to get started on her little area in our bedroom. After that I'm just waiting on our shower at the end of the month (which my church is throwing for me basically against my will. Lol I appreciate it of course, just didn't expect it since I'm a STM and DS is only 2!) so I can start washing all her clothes. So so so crazy.
-I am going on a church retreat this weekend, but I really don't want to. I'll probably end up bitching about it on here once an appropriate thread gets started today. Long story buuuuut basically I think I'm having separation anxiety with DS. It's okay though, we'll all survive.

-How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? 33 weeks today! TD says the size of a durian. WTF is that?!
How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? Acid reflux and back pain seem to be never ending. Thank goodness for Zantac, Tums and my chiropractor. Now if I could not go to the bathroom every 10 minutes, that'd be great!
Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? Not really!! Nursery is 90% done. The only things off our registry we "need" before he gets here is: pacifiers, BFing supplies, crib mattress protector/cover (which actually can wait since he'll be in the bassinet first) and a thermometer. We still have to install the car seat and pack my hospital bag, and that's about it!!
What are your plans for the weekend? On Sunday I am doing brunch with some girlfriends for a mini baby celebration. We only had showers in our hometowns (each 3 hours away), so none of our friends here were able to attend. On Saturday we have returns to BBB and Target from our shower to make and then we are heading over to the lake for the day since it's going to be 70, sunny and there is a festival going on!
-How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? 32 weeks and a squash
-How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? I'm okay. Tired & swollen by the end of the day. My hips have been waking me up at night. Weirdest thing for me is I'm craving cereal with milk which I usually hate (mushy consistency is gross!!).
-Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? Uh. Pack the bag. Have baby showers?
-What are your plans for the weekend? Seeing The Avengers. That's it. DH is taking his younger brother & his friends caving on Saturday for his bachelor party. And all my friends are busy soo I don't know what I'll do with myself! Which means I'll putz around and clean then nap. Sounds fabulous.
-How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? I'm 34 weeks today - butternut squash. I think I was a different type of squash a few weeks ago? I need to get more familiar with all of these veggies!
-How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? I'm actually doing okay this week minus a few SS moments of thinking I was going into labor due to leaking which is really just needing to do more acrobatic moves before I finish peeing. Baby is active as usual and I actually caught his afternoon dance party on camera yesterday. SO cute.
-Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? Nursery, nursery and more nursery. It is being painted as I type which is major, because after we get the furniture delivered on Saturday, I can get everything moved into the room from our dining room. I washed newborn - 3 month clothes earlier this week and have sorted 3-12 month clothes in separate bins. I need to wash all blankets/bedding as well, assemble the strollers and install the carseat. We've decided to do some other household projects now as well so we are refinishing one of our bathrooms which will be done in the next couple weeks so baby has a brand new bathtub to bathe in! I have most of the supplies for my hospital bag purchased so I just need to actually put the bag together. Weirdly, I have more energy for all of this than I thought.
-What are your plans for the weekend? We are having dinner tomorrow night with some friends, one of whom just told me she's 20 weeks pregnant with her 3rd, a boy! I'm SO excited and just sad that our mat leaves won't overlap. Saturday is nursery set up day and I'm getting a hair cut. If I have energy on Sunday, I plan to go to BBB and clean out the registry.
Morning ladies! We just had an interesting start to our day here. An earthquake followed by a building evacuation. Everything's fine, but damn, can't a girl at least get her coffee in first?
-How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? 35 Weeks, coconut! 35 days left!!
-How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? Thought I was going to go into labor last night while walking through Sears and Home Depot looking at new stoves. I was having the most intense BH. Oh, and all that time I spent in the 1st trimester not being able to poo…well, let's just say I'm more than making up for that now...
-Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? We have pretty much everything now. Now all we need to do is get it all set up and organized.
-What are your plans for the weekend? Our birth class is Saturday and we will be spending the rest of the weekend organizing and setting up the nursery. Oh, and we have to buy a new stove.
-How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? 35 Weeks! Coconut!
-How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? I'm sore, my back pain has been unreal.. So sore and I'm feeling very emotional.
-Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? Nope, none. We're all set!
-What are your plans for the weekend? Relax with SO as he has this weekend off. I can't wait . I'm in a bit of a foul mood at the moment so I'm going to try and pick myself up and lift my spirits.

laurenlou83 - a fruit from Asia? My SO grew up in Indonesia anD had to explain to me what it was. Hahaha I forget what he said though but was quite excited about it.
laurenlou83 - a fruit from Asia? My SO grew up in Indonesia anD had to explain to me what it was. Hahaha I forget what he said though but was quite excited about it.
They are large oval shaped fruits, covered in spikes. They smell like a corpse and taste like rotting fish. They actually smell so powerfully and so badly that many countries have banned them in public areas like restaurants/hotels/etc...
Everything about them is awful. I do not know why TD would use this as a reference. Especially since almost no one knows what they are.
ETA: The asian market in my neighborhood sells them, but only frozen, since I guess freezing them helps eliminate some of the smell until they are cut open.
-How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? 35 Weeks. Holy hell
-How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? I had some back pain on Sunday but it's seemed to have resolved on its own. I'm definitely getting pretty big. DS asked me to chase him around the house a few days ago and he stopped mid run and said "my fast! mommy slow." Thanks kid. -Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? I still need to buy some new bottle nipples, although I'm breastfeeding so it's not immediately imperative. It feels so weird to not have to do much prep this time around. Oh, I want to get some depends per the recovery items thread. -What are your plans for the weekend? DH works all weekend I'll probably walk to the market with DS on Saturday, not sure what else. Sunday is my grandma's birthday and we might go out to the family cottage to celebrate. As far as I know, the whole place is still winterized and not really ready for relaxing yet, so not sure how great that's actually going to be.
mrsdee1982, glad it seems like everyone is ok-how scary!

mrsdee1982, missjenniebean, thank you both for clarifying for me!! I think TD needs to find a new fruit to compare my baby to though! That thing does not look or sound appetizing at all!!

How many weeks are you/what's your size comparison? 35 Weeks, Coconut.
How are you doing/any new or unusual symptoms? I have a lot of pelvic pressure when I walk a lot. It sort-of comes and goes while walking but stops when I'm resting. One more reason to just stay on the couch...
Any big baby-prep items still on your to-do-list? Yes, so many, bah this is overwhelming. The dresser for the nursery is supposed to be delivered on the 11th of May so I can finally start washing/putting things away and get rid of the piles of baby things around the house. Still need to get a pump/bottles, a crib mattress and the million other little things to complete our registry. Still need to take all of our childbirth/babycare/breastfeeding classes (scheduled for these, just haven't gone yet). So, yeah, no anxiety there.
What are your plans for the weekend? Childbirth class Saturday, working Sunday. Hopefully enjoying a nice walk with DH who I haven't seen much this week due to being on night shifts. I want to do more things like go to a movie, out to dinner before the baby comes that we won't be able to do after baby comes so easily.
32 weeks size of a squash Same old back issues. I've had acid reflux all night, every night this week despite my prescription meds. We have a lot to still get. We have the crib set up and clothes but that's about it. DH has a seminar Friday and Saturday and DD has a stomach bug. DD is a a parade Sunday.
