[ThePalindromicOne]

Week: 38! Only 1 more week of work!! Yahoo!

Appointments: Checked in today with the OB. Momma BP good, Baby HR good, Head down but not dropped, No dilation

Symptoms: Intermittent contractions/BH and cramps, Insomnia and thus tiredness, Reflex has been okay lately

GTKY: Stole a page outta JBC's book, what physical and NON-physical characteristic do you want you LO to get from you? I hope LO has my eyes and ability to make friends easily.

Week: 38! AHHHH!

Appointments: Next Wednesday.

Symptoms: A little sore, a bit tired... but all things considered for being this late in the game I feel great. I'm really trying to embrace these final days.

GTKY: There isn't a specific physical characteristic that I hope for, but I do hope that she looks a little bit like me! DD1 looks soooo much like my husband and nobody ever says "Wow, she looks like you!" I want that, just a little bit. Haha.

Woohoo! Happy Friday everyone!
Week: 37!!
Appointments: next Thursday for check up, tDap, and another ultrasound to check fluid levels - hopefully they've gone down some. I also need to decide whether I want a cervical check or if I'd rather wait until they become mandatory the week after.
Symptoms: decreased appetite, heartburn, BH and lightning crotch - all much more manageable now that I'm not working, though
GTKY: physical characteristic would be my build - my family just naturally keeps a lean figure without doing much (I'm sorry I feel like that's totally flammable, but it's just genetics :/)
Non-physical characteristic I guess would be my test-taking abilities. DH is very intelligent, but can't take a test to save his life. It was really hard to watch him struggle in college and I would hate to see my kids do the same.

Week: 35

Appointments: 5-26

Symptoms: Hip pain and pelvic pressure, loads of BH, some swelling and constant heartburn.

GTKY: My skin tone, legs and lips. Non physical, independence, ability to handle stress, calm disposition and creativity.
I hope he gets his focus, athleticism and math skills from his dad!

Week: 38!!! Whoo hoo!

Appts: weekly. Just left one a few mins ago, and NOTHING happening. 1 cm and not thinned AT ALL. This little dude is going to be late like his brother and sister before him!

Symptoms- it may be easier to list what symptoms I'm not having than to list what I am having lol

GTKY: I'm hoping LO gets my teeth, and my type A personality

[ladysif]

Week: 36.

Appointments: Weekly. He's big, but I expected that; I think it is a little off because I expect him to be tall like his brother so I'm trying not to freak out about it. Feels weird to have induction scheduled already for after his due date; I know they're just being cautious, but it just makes me feel like it is set in stone that he's not coming on his own and I really wanted to experience going into labor without induction!

Symptoms: Physically lazy, mentally freaking out about how much I need to do. Terrible combination. On the plus side, I get a lot of time to myself this weekend to do things, I'm miraculously NOT sick with a cold or otherwise, and baby is in a relatively comfortable position physically for me to be able to do more. Plus I forgot how much I love the belly for folding laundry, especially baby laundry.

GTKY:  Physical: my skin. Non-physical: love of reading, good manners. I will raise my boys to be gentlemen if it kills me trying.

sugarkissed I also echo the desire to have him at least somewhat resemble me. I've had my fill of "oh, he must take after daddy" and "Is he yours?" when out with DS alone, and my favorite, when out with DH and DS: "oh, you look JUST like your daddy! Is this your mom?"

The bold is exactly how I feel!  Please let me know if you figure out a way to overcome this!  Also, WTF to people asking if you're his mom?!  I wonder what they would do if you just said "no" and then looked at them awkwardly.

Ha, I will let you know if/when I figure it out. And I should try that next time... it isn't even like there's anything super obvious that might more reasonably give someone pause to wonder. I think the big thing is that DS is super blond like daddy and my hair is brown. Apparently blond children are only supposed to come from blond moms, I don't know.
