Symptoms?

GTKY: what are some activities/things from your childhood that you are hoping LO will participate in or enjoy?

33 weeks today! TD says LO is as big as a Durian.

In general, I am just exhausted, achey, and hot all the time. Lots of BH this week, and just generally not feeling great. I feel like I get heartburn if I even look at food, and I cannot possibly drink enough water. Hips/pelvis are all kinds of crazy: I'm hobbling/waddling everywhere now. Also: I officially don't feel like my bump is cute any more. I feel like a beached whale.

Next appointment is Tuesday. Should be pretty uneventful- just weighing me and measuring my belly. I am freaking out about my 35 week appointment though, because I'm pretty sure that's when they are going to do the strep group b test, and I am REALLY not looking forward to that. Ugh. PG is so glamorous.

I am hoping that my LO will love being in the water and playing outside. My parents had me in a carrier near the ocean when I was just a few months old, and I love being in the water. We also had a lake house growing up, and pretty much my entire spring/summer/falls were spent on, in, or around the lake. I am also hoping he'll have both musical and athletic interests. DH is really hoping he'll want to play soccer, and I'm rooting for baseball. Maybe he'll do both!

What week are you?
33, no idea

Symptoms?
Tired, achey, antsy. MS hasn't gone away either.

Appointments this week?
None, none, la la la la la! I'm FREEEEEEE! As a BIIIIIIRD! For the week!

GTKY: what are some activities/things from your childhood that you are hoping LO will participate in or enjoy?
Reading, the outdoors, maybe medieval re-creation (or more specifically, learning all sorts of handcrafting), music, dance

[wifedeangel]

What week are you? 34 weeks, 6 weeks left!
Fruit? Butternut squash
Symptoms? The usual. I can generally keep the heartburn in check, but my hips and pelvis are always sore. And if love to sleep all night and not be tired all day. But I know that ain't happening.
Appointments this week? 34 week appt on Wednesday. It'll be the usual.
GTKY: what are some activities/things from your childhood that you are hoping LO will participate in or enjoy? I spent most of my childhood in the woods or reading. It was pretty idyllic in hindsight. I don't think the free way I grew up is possible in the 'burbs, but I do hope my kids love the outdoors and reading.

34 weeks.

Lots of BH and some mild cramping and random bouts of pressure again today. Heartburn seems to be making an appearance, despite the prilosec, but at least it isn't coming with the massive reflux that was making me barf non stop about a month and a half ago. Achy back. Tired but not wanting to sleep. After the surprise of finding out I'm already effacing and dilating and that baby is super low, it's hard to no over analyze every little ping and twitch.

Only my massage and acupuncture appointments this week. No OB until the 12th. I'm super anxious for that one after what I just said above. I hope little man is planning on just staying put for another few weeks here.

I hope he develops our love and respect for nature, animals, and the outdoors.

35 weeks today, coconut?

Symptoms - I feel like a wreck...this week has been pretty rubbish. Sorry for the moan but I've been feeling really down this week, just kind of sad. The trapped nerve issue is really getting bad so I think the constant pain is just getting me down. Plus now I'm over compensating on my left leg to not put pressure on the right. Guess what, everyday my left leg swells like a balloon. Just a bit fed up. Also, no one seems to understand any of this - DH and friends complain I'm complaining too much and our one super supportive friend keeps saying "well, you wanted this baby". So I'm trying to not say anything anymore Sorry, bit of a rant!

GTKY - on a lighter note, we did loads of walking/exploring round the woods I grew up nearby and had a really outdoorsy childhood in the country and I want that for our boy too over here! Can't wait to take him hiking on the trails

I hope you can get some rest and start feeling better soon! Being in pain sucks- and I totally feel for you.

On the bright side, it sounds like you had an awesome childhood. I know Canada has plenty of gorgeous landscape, so I'm sure your little guy will have plenty to explore.

What week are you? Fruit? 35 weeks tomorrow and coconut (pretty giant coconut, if you ask me)

Symptoms? Feeling pretty good - other than being not really all that hungry.

Appointments this week? 2 NSTs, one ob appt and an ultrasound - but that is down from past weeks so Yea!

33w tomorrow! Durian?

Constipation/gas like woah, heartburn, and I'm a little achy from walking yesterday, but that could also be from sleeping on the couch this am.

No appts this week, next is on 5/12.

I hope he's in to music! H and I were both in marching band, and had a lot of fun doing band related stuff.

But I really hope he finds something he loves and works hard at it. (with minimal risk for concussions).

Week 35. Coconut!!

Next appt- Thursday May 7th. For an ultrasound and then probably to pick up all the informative papers about the hospital and delivery.

Symptoms- I've been having lots of Braxton Hicks, pressure, tired, moody. I love the weekends because I get to take a 2 hour nap with DS and catch up on my sleep. I can't decide if my last day of work will be 5/11 or 5/17. My due date is June 7. I'm just so over feeling uncomfortable while at work.

Forgot to add the activities. If she is like me she'll love drawing, painting, gardening, playing dress up etc. I played softball in school and tennis but I wasn't that excited about either one.

If she is like DH she will be into all the action sports. Skateboarding, snowboarding..

We both do love camping so I'm looking forward to us all going camping in the Sierra mountains and Yosemite when she is older.

Hi weekend crew!

33 weeks today. I have no clue what a durian is!

Symptoms: I had my shower yesterday which was so lovely but my hips and pelvis pretty much gave out on me last night. Just no stamina. Otherwise just tired but not that sleepy.

OB on Thursday am: anti-D shot and general check up. I haven't had a scan for 13 weeks so I wish the dr would, but I'd say it will just be a dipper check which is still so cool!

My childhood was busy with sleepovers, dancing, board games, lots of group things. Loved riding my bike but was average at team sports. I hope LO just enjoys getting outside and being a free spirit before she cares about her hair, clothes etc too much to get dirty!

What week are you? Fruit? 33 - durian

Symptoms? Crazy heartburn the past week! Everything gives me insane reflux. I'm also growing considerably more tired with each passing week, which makes me very irritable. And of course, the leg cramps.

Appointments this week? Had my 32-wk on Thurs - baby is measuring on track, weight gain is good, and her heartbeat was high (153). I'm off this week then another appt next week.

GTKY: I'm definitely looking forward to putting her into dance and figure skating! Hopefully she's athletic like me but has DH's creativity so she picks up music and art too. And we really want her to be a beach-loving baby!!!

33 weeks today - again, basing on other posts, that makes him a durian.

My energy just isn't there, my back aches, and his movements have gotten pretty crazy. I'm also waking up before my alarm even though I'm exhausted.

I had my 32-week appointment last Thursday and everything was good- measuring on track, head down, heartbeat normal.

GTKY: My dad used to take me to swim lessons, which I loved. So we'll definitely be getting the LO into the water as soon as we're allowed. Same with skiing, I started at 10, but I want to start it earlier for him. We also both enjoy hiking.

What week are you? 35 weeks yesterday!! Fruit? Coconut!!

Symptoms? Braxton Hicks like WHOA!!! It is real fun to get a contraction where you cant breath as you are driving... Really enjoy that happening like it did yesterday MULTIPLE Times.

Appointments this week? No OB appointment this week but I have one Next Monday for another Ultrasound and a normal check up. My Doctor will not physically check me since I had strep B around week 20. They dont like to do anything that could possibly cause a flair up. So unless I go into labor before 39 weeks I will not be having an internal exam. WE are meeting with a potential Pediatrician on Friday (1st one and as long as things go well, only one)!!

GTKY: what are some activities/things from your childhood that you are hoping LO will participate in or enjoy? DH and I were both very active swimmers, I swam competitively for about 10 years. and we both were lifeguards for about 8 years. Would like to see her get into swimming at an early age like we both did.
