***Friday Ticker Change 5/8***

[sully326]

Week:34

Symptoms: I've been extra tired lately on top of everything else.

Appointments: 5/13 for my NST & weekly appt.

GTKY: What is something you still want to be able to do with SO/current LO(s)/friends, etc. before baby arrives?: We have a trip planned to South FL at the end of May to take DS to Dinosaur World, or whatever it's called, & we're all pretty excited.

Week: 33

Symptoms: pelvic pain, fatigue

Appointments: had one this week with ultrasound. Baby breech and "big". Been researching induction and deciding what to do if he turns. Next appt is 5/19 for regular check up

GTKY: nothing that I can think of. We take a personal day from work every now and again to have a date day. I imagine that will continue.

[sugarkissed]

Week: 36!

Symptoms: The usual fatigue, and pretty feet and legs after busy days.

Appointments: Weekly visit on Wednesday.

GTKY: I just want to spend as much time with DD as possible while she's still the only one. She's still so little and this is such a fun age, so I want to go out and do as much as we can since I know we'll be a bit cooped up at home for the first little while.

Week: 34

Symptoms: Really slow today, I pushed it way too hard physically yesterday and I'm paying for it hard today. Not a good night of sleep but somehow am not exhausted so going with it!

Appointments: Saw DS2 this a.m. via ultrasound for BPP. I could watch him all day. No growth measurements until 36 weeks, but fluid levels are fine, he got the hiccups so failed the breathing test and I had to do an NST but no biggie, he's fine. Appointments weekly now so next week!

GTKY: What is something you still want to be able to do with SO/current LO(s)/friends, etc. before baby arrives? I am awful but it is more that I want to be able to do things WITHOUT any of those people! I absolutely love being SAHM with DS and value our time together, but really need some solid chunks of time to get some big things done these next weekends, as well as enjoy the luxury of being able to leave the house whenever I want without a child and without having to be back in two hours to nurse. I know the lifestyle that's coming for me so I'm milking the alone time and flexibility now. Luckily DH is awesome and is making all that happen a couple weekends. I do definitely want to have a date night or two with DH as well.

sordidvolition, hope baby turns for you. DS1 was breech until 37 weeks but turned, and they also predicted (via ultrasound, I was having them weekly) he'd be 9-10 lbs... he was 8 lbs 1 ounce and long. So take the measurements with a little grain of salt. DS2 measured in the 70/80th percentile at 32 weeks, but his femur measured 100% (I have long babies).

budders hope you can keep your feet up today too. Take it easy!

Week: 34

Symptoms: bad foot swelling. trying to drink ALL the water! it subsides a lot when I can take my shoes off and prop my feet up, so I am doing that too. I don't care if my coworkers think I am gross. (I totally would if I were them.)

Appointments: scan at MFM on Tues. for final previa check. I am not optimistic.

GTKY: What is something you still want to be able to do with SO/current LO(s)/friends, etc. before baby arrives? Now that the weather has been so nice, I wish DH and I could make one more trip to a theme park or beach or the zoo or some other outdoor activity. It won't happen because I can't do any of the fun stuff, or even walk for that long at this point, but a girl can dream.

[ThePalindromicOne]

Week: 36! Squeee! 3 more weeks of work!

Symptoms: Hands are much improved, so I'm much less miserable. Just generally uncomfortable, not too bad on the swelling, a bit of insomnia

Appointments: Started weekly yesterday. Ultrasound to confirm positioning, GBS test, and first cervical check (still closed and long). She estimates are current 5 lb baby and 7-7.5 lbs at delivery - hope she's in the right ballpark! Convinced I will now go overdue.

GTKY: What is something you still want to be able to do with SO/current LO(s)/friends, etc. before baby arrives? Nothing in particular. I'd really like to have sex before this baby is born, lol

[disney815]

Week: 36 weeks... Yikes!!

Symptoms: heartburn is really bad... And I have the worst insomnia!

Appts: next Friday, and every Friday after that until he is here!! Today I was 1 cm and long/hard (teehee)

GTKY: I hope to still be able to stay up and hang out with my husband for his birthday in two weeks! I hope I don't have this baby before his bday, I'd like him to be able to go out and have a good time without worrying about us!!

[maddib]

Week: 36

Symptoms: horrible pain in my stomach when laying down and trying to move. Different then BH which I am getting them about every twenty minutes. Horrible cramping in back and lower abdomen. Back hip and pelvic pain all the time!! Just sooo uncomfortable. Pretty standard stuff.

Appointments: I have another one Monday to check my cervix again. If I am still at a three then I will go in a week later for another one. If I am at a four he will send me to L&D.

GTKY: I got a gift card to bonefish grill for my bday and really want to go!! It's super fancy and expensive and I would like to go before LO arrives. Just have to get a nurse for DD and have someone watch DS at the same time DH has off work. Ugh who knows when that will all happen!

[missjenniebean]

Week 36.

Overall exhausted. Swelling. Emotional. Random pains that I am considering contractions.

Weekly now, next one on wednesday.

Hmmmm idk.

[dogmama22]

Weeks: 35!
Symptoms: I way overdid it today at work, despite my best efforts. Now I'm crampy, having BH, my feet and ankles are swollen and I'm totally counting sunburn as a symptom because I put on plenty of sunblock several times and I still look like a lobster.
Appointments: Monday will start every 2 weeks appointments
GTKY: I can't think of anything in particular, but I am trying to soak up these last few days with DH and our dogs. I know they're going to feel super neglected when this LO arrives.

[honeybunches101]

Week: 34!

Symptoms: Awful pain in my left ab muscle as it is tearing again. It was bad with DS and seems worse this time. I have definitely been overdoing it, carrying my 35+lb kiddo around and in and out of his crib, running all over the playground etc. But I don't have much of a choice! My back hurts at the end of the day too. But I can't complain too much because otherwise I am feeling great!

Appointments: Thankfully very boring appointments so far, I can't believe I am almost at the weekly stage! Maybe my last growth scan in two weeks, I can't wait to see the baby again

GTKY: I hope I am able to occassionally get away from the family for nights out with my girlfriends! It's so easy now, I am not looking forward to dealing with nursing and pumping. But as a family I am looking forward to having people over to our new house for BBQs while the kids play in the back yard and I can sit and relax with the baby.

[lalamomma]

Week: 33

Symptoms: sore back and hips, BH and now hemmroids. For the love of god I have never had them and then wham last night there they were. I'm not constipated, and haven't been. This is ridiculous! On the bright side they don't hurt a lot so I'm trying to be good and careful not to irritate the area.

Appointments: not until 35 weeks

GTKY: What is something you still want to be able to do with SO/current LO(s)/friends, etc. before baby arrives?
DH needs to get home so we can take a mini vacation/babymoon to a kind of local get away spot. I also want to go to a movie.

[tulips114]

Week: 35

Symptoms: just exhausted, and lots of BH

Appointments: growth scan and check up on Tuesday

GTKY: idk....I just want to sleep. LOL
