1. How far along are you? 35w3d

2. When is your next appointment? Next Thursday, 05/28

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you? Not bad. On my way to work this morning I had a sudden thought of 'What if my baby is stillborn?!' but she's still moving and I feel pretty good about everything. We had our childbirth prep class over the weekend and I've decided that I want to try to go med-free as long as possible. It probably won't really happen, but I'm feeling more confident about labor all of the sudden.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? The fact that my maternity leave starts on Wednesday! Wahoooo!

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive? Up until a couple of weeks ago I drove a 2004 Toyota 4Runner....we're looking at probably getting a 2007 Chevy Tahoe now. I can't wait to have my own car again, I miss my 4Runner!

1. How far along are you? 37w4d

2. When is your next appointment? Today at 4:15. I am praying I've progressed some. Last week I was fingertip dilated, 50% effaced, at a -1 station and baby was measuring 40 weeks. I am so uncomfortable.

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you? Ok. I'm having some of the "what if I'm not strong enough to do this" thoughts about labor.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? That hopefully today is my last day of work and I can start my leave tomorrow.

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive? A honda pilot. I love it.

2. When is your next appointment? This afternoon...normal appt but after my visit to L&D on Friday. Curious to what she has to say.

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you? Eh...I go back and forth. I know LO is running out of room in there, so movement is going to be less, but I still get myself worked up when it's been awhile since I've felt him/her. Also, after Friday, I am scared to death that this LO is going to come early and will need time in the NICU.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Feeling baby respond to DS and DH talking.

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive? A Toyota Rav4

37w2d

2. When is your next appointment?
Friday: NST and ultrasound to watch my placenta. Yay for being AMA.

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you?
I'm more excited than scared for L&D, so that's good. Over the weekend, I had a SS moment where I was like "have I felt him move recently?" so I drank cold water and laid on the sofa for a bit. I think it was just his quiet time. Later that night he was back to his active, awake self.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?
Cake. lol. And realizing that we are so. close. to meeting these little ones

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive?
Nissan Altima.

2. When is your next appointment?: Tomorrow and Thursday. Both for NSTs and to meet with the Dr.

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you?: I have a lot of L&D fears simply because I have no idea how it's gonna go down anymore. I've gone from RCS, to VBAC, to RCS and now who the hell knows. Pretty much over it.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?: I don't have much joy at this point. I still love feeling her move just because I know she's alright.

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive?: Altima

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you? So far so good this week. I think I'm staying too busy at this point to think about it much.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Only a month left until we reach our due date

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive? DH stole my F250 Diesel when we got married so now I get the economic Honda CRV

1. How far along are you? 36 weeks + 6 days

2. When is your next appointment? Had one today. Since next Monday is a holiday, my next appointment will be 5/27.

3. How are PGAL brain/L&D fears treating you? I am getting anxious. Since my amniotic fluids are high and that increases the chances of him being stillborn, I am on high alert about his movements. I just want him to be in my arms already.

4. What's your current Pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Seeing his cute face today! Oh does he have the cutest pouty face.

5. GTKY: What kind of car do you drive? Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's my cool mom car.

Pregnancy joy that I just thought of: Baby's hiccups! She gets them a few times a day now and it's such a funny feeling, I can only imagine how adorable she must look when she has them

1. 34 weeks 6 days

2. Monday ? I'm dreading my visits now. I'm guessing I'll be switching to weekly now.

3. PGAL brain. Mostly good! But I will always carry the fear of something going wrong. I bought a special baby monitor though so that will be a huge relief.

4. Being done with work!!! My workplace is driving me craaazy.

5. I drive a Ford Edge. Love it but hate how computerized it is... Lol
