36 weeks/ FTM / Baby Girl

Besides 9 month anxiety, the acid reflux has increased, leg/ hip pain at night and daily naps are a necessity. Our nursery is nearly complete and I find myself sitting in there thinking about baby'. Excitement is building! My belly definitely feels heavier, and I now understand pregnant women when they say,"I'm ready!"

I have a 36 week regular checkup, including a positioning check ultrasound, tomorrow. Please be head down baby!! GBS test as well. Going weekly now y'all!

Scrambled eggs, peanut butter toast, grapes, blueberries and orange juice

FTM, Blue, 37 Weeks (term!!!!)

Swollen hands & feet, truly excessive peeing, more fluids down there, and baby's movements have gone from extreme kicks and pokes to constant stretching and pushing at me.

My biggest concern right now is getting through next weekend. I planned a huge part of my church retreat and don't really have a backup. I want to be there!!

Next appt is next week. They're supposed to be weekly but the practice is busy and they said it's fine to wait since there are no concerns.

Honey nut Cheerios and 2% milk that makes them so delicious.

carolyngrace, eek! I can't believe we have term babies!

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team: 33/FTM/ Blue

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning? FFC: Lucky Charms with milk and a glass of lemonade....

34, FTM, boy!

I'm still getting asked if "theres two in there". *sigh* yes. I'm quite sure there isn't. Sleeping has gotten worse in the last few days which has made me appreciate how lucky I was to be still getting 3-4 hours straight just last week. We put down a plastic sheet under our bed sheet (not actually that bad last week) but now with the heat, I'm sweating and sticky all night.  Allll the sweat. 

AND, when K decides shes going to go to sleep, and is out within 3 minutes?? It makes me want to put both my feet on her and shove her off the bed!! NO SLEEPING! lol

Have an appointment tomorrow to find out the results of our last weeks' ultrasound. This will give us an idea of his size and the health of my placenta. I'm also hoping he'll check me for any dilation. Is it too early for that?

GTKY: Tea, nectarine and a granola bar.... and 3 wine gums.

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team:

36 weeks!! STM, team green

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants:

Making 36 weeks was a huge deal for me to make, and I'm here! I'm so happy!
Otherwise, pelvic pains on and off, hip pain while sleeping, peeing all night, slow to move around and finally starting to realize I need to take it back a notch during the day, which has helped me feel a bit better.

Upcoming Appointments:

Thursday. My regular doctor is on holidays this week so will be with the on call OB. Been weekly since 34 weeks.

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning?
My usual, toast with peanut butter and jam and a coffee.

37 WEEKS!! TTM Team blue

No longer constipated, yippee...? Nausea, still. Reflux, sore feet (no swelling anywhere though), wishing for energy to match the magnitude of my to-do list. Sciatic pain. My poor sunburned legs are keeping me awake at night.
I am very much hoping to have this boy the Thursday of Memorial Weekend, so DH doesn't miss any work.

Appt this week. Snooooze. carolyngrace I wish my OB was too busy to see me this week!

Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, and milk. But not as much as I would have liked to eat. Come on baby boy, Mama wants her appetite back!!

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team:  34 weeks/STM/Team Blue

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants:  General pregnancy pains.  Had to go to L&D this past week with contractions 2 mins apart.  Got diagnosed with an irritable uterus and was told to take it easy.  To DH, that means I'm not allowed to do anything which doesn't work well with pregnancy nesting.....

Upcoming Appointments:  Have one today.  Probably will talk about my L&D trip, otherwise, should just be a routine checkup and ultrasound.  Next one will be in 2 weeks which will start weeklies. 

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning?  Blueberry muffin and greek yogurt.

[ombradellarosa]

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team: Week 37. I'm term today. This is insane. Apparently baby is the size of a wintermelon, whatever that is. Looks like a cucumber in the picture. FTM, baby girl.

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants: Yesterday morning was awful. My first Mother's Day seemed to be composed of all the worst things about being pregnant. First, I forgot it was Mother's Day until the morning of, so even though I had a plan for a present for my mum I hadn't got it and had no time to come up with anything else. I also had made no plans to spend time with her and my day was all complicated. Then, I stayed up too late the night before obsessing over baby preparations so I was late getting up and "didn't have time" for a proper breakfast. It's been a long time since I made that mistake. Naturally, we had to leave church early because I was sick twice (just a little and enough to make me feel terrible) and I missed the flowers and everything for the mothers. Since this is the first year I am actually a mother I was really looking forward to it, so I was so disappointed I cried. When we got home I knew I needed to eat but nothing sounded good except a cold ham and cheddar sandwich, which even if we had the ingredients I couldn't eat. So I had a nap instead.
It got better later. I went to church with my parents and got to see a lot of people I don't usually see. This did mean I had the final piece of the "Awful things about pregnancy" puzzle though when someone tried to touch my belly (I did defend myself though!) and then someone else proceeded to talk about how awful kids are and the misery they bring. I was too bewildered to ask "How would you know?" since this man has no children. It did hurt my feelings though. Thankfully, my dad rescued me. After church my mum took me home and fed me a tuna sandwich with pickles which of course made me feel better, I got to vent about my awful day, and then my dad made us a delicious barbecue dinner for which my husband was able to join us. Then we had ice cream and I got to open my first Mother's Day present! My mum had made cards for the family of the game of Pit but with our faces on them. She made these quite awhile ago, but I opened some that instead of saying "Mum" and "Daddy" for my parents and all of our first names, said "Grammi" and "Papi" and Mama and Daddy for me and DH. It was so cute and fun and special. I so look forward to playing with our kids when they're old enough.
(Wow that turned out long!)

Upcoming Appointments: I'm heading to one right now. Finally going to remember to ask about the belly support my mum gave me.

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning? I had some MultiGrain Cheerios and grape juice, but I'm about to get something more substantial with DH. Probably breakfast burritos. Yum!

[Girlymama79]

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team: 36 weeks STM team pink

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants: huge and tired everything hurts

Upcoming Appointments: next week

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning? Special K cereal. Too tired to make anything else.

Hey ladies! With my due date being pushed up, I'm a Monday ticker change now. Hope it's ok that I join your thread!

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team: FTM, 35 weeks, Team Pink

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants: Besides my regular back pain, leg cramps and heartburn, I'm battling a UTI. Fun! And of course I'm the most hormonal, teary-eyed, stereotypically crazy pregnant lady on earth.

Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow (5/12) is what would have been my 34-week appt. I guess I switch to every week really soon now! That is bizarre. I can't believe how little time is left.

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning? Breakfast was a granola bar and a banana. I was really looking forward to my Cap'n Crunch, but DH left the almond milk out all night by accident and ruined that dream. Maybe tomorrow...On the upside, what I actually ate was way healthier.

[lc1158]

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team:
36 weeks/FTM/Team pink

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants: trying to get another yeast infection under control, heartburn worse than I've had up until this point, constantly tired and staying asleep is a challenge - not to mention that turning over in bed hurts my pelvis like nothing I've experienced before . Some random incidences of dizziness and nausea when standing.

Upcoming Appointments: tomorrow is my 36 week checkup, then weekly. Part of me hopes that the doc tells me she has engaged and I've at least started dilating some - ready to get this show on the road already.

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning? It was raisin bran, a banana and coffee. yummers!!!

[amber311]

Hello Monday lovlies!

Week/ FTM or STM/ Team: 33 weeks ftm team pink

Symptoms/ Concerns/ Rants: I'm so tired. I waddle everywhere. Sitting up from a lying position is excruciating. Heartburn is a normal part of regular life. I need a drink. Not a go ahead and have a glass of wine thing.. I need a martini or old fashioned. Buying a house while being 8 months pregnant was stupid....


Upcoming Appointments: none this week

GTKY: What's for breakfast this morning? I had a mini bagel, oatmeal and a nutrigrain bar. I may have had popcorn too.... it's all for the baby of course
