1. 37 Weeks - term? full term? Who knows. Almost there.

2. August 9th

3. Regular weekly appointment this afternoon.

4. I feel pretty good. I've got a good deal of energy and my aches and pains only get really bad at the end of the day.

Sounds like H was able to get out of his military obligation for August. Although that means that he'll be gone even longer in September to make up the time difference. I know that I would rather have him there for delivery; but the idea of him leaving for 6ish days mere weeks after we add a 2nd new human to the mix is not appealing.

5. Random Fact: At my kindergarten interview (back when they would consider letting 4 yr old kids enter school if they could meet certain standards), I told the teacher my name was Melody [Middle Name] [Last Name] Mermaid - I was a big fan of the Little Mermaid

At my kinder graduation when they asked what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said I wanted to be a teenager.

Updates/Appointments? No new updates. Still achey. Baby is still frank breech with his foot over his head. I know I am finally looking really pregnant because people have started offering me their seats. I'm not complaining.

How are you feeling? Rants? Raves? Rave: DH has suddenly realized how pregnant I am and started rubbing my back and feet more.

GTKY: Share one random fact about you. I graduated from high school when I was only 16. I started a year early then skipped a grade.

melohdy I am so glad your DH got out of his obligation around your delivery date!!

How are you feeling? Rants? Raves?
I thought my labor was starting Saturday evening. I was having contractions every 4-8 minutes. They weren't intense or painful but kept up for 2+ hours until I went to bed. I prayed that the baby would stay in a little while longer. I'm still having frequent contractions with an occasional stretching feeling in my cervix. I went 5 days overdue with G so I doubt I will be delivering this early.
My nesting instinct has kicked in. Each day I am getting something accomplished. Along with a ton of laundry, today I washed and sterilized all of the tiny baby bottles and size 1 nipples. Tomorrow I will be prepping my breast pump parts. I am beginning to make freezer meals too.

I almost drowned in a hot tub when I was in 4th grade. I got sucked up to the wall and held under water. I swear that I saw my guardian angel in a flash of light right before I was able to push off the wall.

Due date? Feb 15

Updates/Appointments? Nope. In the long lull between appointments. I really need to call and see how/if my insurance covers NT scans, because that's coming up soonish.

How are you feeling? Rants? Raves? Pretty good! Tonight is the first night where I haven't had a nap today and yet don't feel like I'm dragging completely after putting LO to bed. That being said, I'm about to go to bed to read, but I feel maybe first tri exhaustion is on its way out.

GTKY: Share one random fact about you. I don't know. I think the best I can think of is that I was in marching band in college but I really don't like football. Serious band geek.

Due date? February 5

Updates/Appointments? This Friday

How are you feeling? Rants? Raves? I'm feeling a little better at this point, which sometimes freaks me out a little. I guess it's nice that I now feel grateful for periodic waves of nausea?

GTKY: I love canning. I'll probably make a batch or jam, preserves, or pickles of one sort or another every weekend from now until the end of September.

Due date? Oct 12

Updates/Appointments? Passed GD test but was told my iron is low. Probably doesn't help that I never remember my prenatal vitamins...

How are you feeling? Rants? Raves? Feeling OK. Starting to feel more pregnant and am very tankful I had an easy second tri. The emotions are getting to me this week (posted in spam) and I know some of it is because of pregnancy hormones.

I'm really hoping I get an offer from the job interview I had yesterday but am really really nervous about telling them I'm pregnant if I do get an offer. Even though I specifically bought new maternity clothes for the interview because I didn't want to "hide" anything trying to wear my regular clothes, I think they actually hid my bump a lot. I don't think she realized I was expecting or if she did I don't think she would guess that I'm so far along. It feel like a lose-lose situation at this point whether or not I get an offer.

GTKY: I eat the exact same thing for break fast and lunch almost every day. Banana and cherrios for breakfast and Yogurt and crackers for lunch.

@emazeem I feel ya on the hip/back pain. Do you know what position your baby is in? That's crazy about Capone!

Due date? August 27

Updates/Appointments? Appointment on Friday, nothing new to share

How are you feeling? Rants? Raves? I'm mentally so ready for this baby to get here. I know he needs to cook a lot longer but I just want to get this party started and move on (don't worry, I won't do anything to try and induce labor). DH is scared we'll have another preemie (he was a preemie, E was a preemie and I was early so it's not out of the question, I guess) so he's getting all protective of me over-doing it with lifting and cleaning. I keep telling him I'm not an invalid.

When I was little I hated pizza and ice cream.

moosemug I'm glad you outgrew that nonsense. Seriously, that's crazy talk.

I know, right?  Now I'm all, "pizza?  Ice cream?  Hand it over."  I was convinced pizza gave me a headache because I got headaches a lot and for some reason I associated it with the pizza.  My parents didn't believe me because I thought it was the tomato sauce but absolutely love spaghetti.  As an adult I discovered I have a yeast sensitivity so I couldn't eat a lot of breads with yeast and I got headaches when I over did it.  Since getting pregnant with E though, the yeast thing hasn't bothered me and it's been glorious.  I've also been pregnant or BFing since then so I wonder if it's a hormonal thing.  If so, my last baby will be nursed until he's 5, I'm afraid for my sensitivity to come back.  Sorry.  Long explanation for my crazy talk.  But not liking ice cream?  Yeah, I was crazy.
