I don't think I've seen this started yet today. Is everyone still interested in doing this?

GTKY - How prepared are you feeling for LO's arrival? Any projects you definitely want to have finished before the big day?

[maddib]

Weeks- 39 weeks

Appointments- Monday induction! Woo who!

Symptoms- All the pain below the belly button. Just all of it.

GTKY- I feel decently prepared. All that's left is painting the nursery but she will be in a bassinet in our room for the first month or two so we have time. I want to finish decorating it and make it all kinds of cute!

[dogmama22]

Weeks: 38 - woah!
Appointments: I had a BPP and OB appointment yesterday and will have another next Wednesday. My fluid is high, but baby is doing ok with it so far - will recheck next week. Also scheduled an induction to start 6/11, which is just crazy!
GTKY: I'm feeling pretty prepared at this point. I do need to make my changing pad covers, but that's really the only thing that I think needs to be done before LO's arrival.

38 weeks

Appt yesterday, 2cm 50% effaced. Everything else was all good. Next appt is next Thursday and I will have her strip my membranes.

Lots of contractions, braxton hicks, but they're doing a little something since I'm 2cm. Lots of campiness. Pinched nerve feeling in my inner thighs.

GTKY - I think we're ready. I have a list of a few little things to pick up this weekend, otherwise we're good.

Weeks: 37! Whoohoo!

Appointments: Next week Wed. Still getting over the nurse casually mentioning induction yesterday if he failed his NST. Just no.

Symptoms: Tired, but that is totally DH's fault for staying out way too late after his game last night and DS1 weirdly waking up MOTN and at the ass crack of dawn.

GTKY - How prepared are you feeling for LO's arrival? See reaction to this week's appointment... ha. No, he could come and I'd deal with it, but there are MANY "nice to do" things I'd like to get done. I just need the physical energy to do them and I'm slacking.

Also going to answer the do/eat/drink because I really want a margarita and all the carb things. I'll spare you the full list but there is most definitely a list.

Weeks: 39!! Homestretch!!
Appointments: I have an appointment next Wednesday at 39 weeks, 5 days... and I just found out that my OB is on vacation the entire week so it's someone I've never met.
Symptoms: I've had a ton of energy up until this week, and now I'm too tired to do anything. I'm spending my days on the couch eating.
GTKY - I feel pretty prepared now. I'd like to organize a few areas of the house a bit more, but probably won't. Emotionally, I'm worried about the transition to 2 kids, but I know we'll figure it out as we go! Come on out, baby!

I'm hoping this will be the last one of these I do, but seeing as in still at a 1 for dilation, I'm sure I'll be back next week!

Weeks- 39!!

Appts: had one today, one next Friday. And then my doc said no later than a week after my due date for induction if that happens

Symptoms: everything. I feel like I'm 80, the way I walk around with my back pain. I need DHs help to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night from a laying down position. It stinks.

GTKY- I am very prepared for everything, including the sleepless nights. This is baby #3, and I learned a ton with 1 and 2. The only thing I want to finish before the big day is more sleep, but it's pretty close to impossible right now!

[lalamomma]

Weeks: 36!
I have my next appointment on Wednesday!
Symptoms: SO MUCH PRESSURE! And my feet and hands are swelling more and more every day. Lots of sporadic contractions. Can't sleep very well...also I've been getting headaches and neck pain. On the bright side I'm 2-3 cm dilated and 50% effaced as of Tuesday so at least I can tell myself the obnoxious contractions I've had were doing something lol.

Projects: looking at trading in my suv and I need to add snaps to my maternity gown. I may also make a few maternity tanks into nursing tanks with the snap press I just ordered.

I just got a snap press as well and I'm already thinking of all of the opportunities for creating nursing garments!

[sordidvolition]

Weeks: 36

Appts: next tues for check in

Symptoms: general uncomfortable and fatigue; random aches and pains

GTKY: mostly ready. Still waiting on replacement pnp parts. Got his clothes ready but no bag packed. Did professional car seat install last night. Just need him to hang out until I finish work on the 19th or 22nd. Tentative induction on 6/23

[ThePalindromicOne]

Weeks: 39 weeks - finishing up my last day of work today!

Appointments: Was seen on Wednesday, will be seen again on Monday - Baby still hasn't dropped, about 50% effaced, barely dilated enough to attempt a membrane sweep, momma BP/weight are solid, and baby's HR is solid.

Symptoms: Just general uncomfortableness, sporatic contractions and cramps, but nothing worth timing or all that painful.

GTKY - How prepared are you feeling for LO's arrival? Any projects you definitely want to have finished before the big day? Prepared! Hoping our recliner finally arrives prior to baby, but if not - it's not the end of the world!

Just wanted to say hi and I'm still interested, but Friday has been nuts for me lately. Glad to read about my Friday ticker friends though!
