How far along are you? 38 Weeks

Due Date: August 9th

Appointments/Updates: Had my regular weekly yesterday. Nothing to report. Utterly unremarkable pregnancy (thank goodness). Met a new doctor at the practice. I would have liked to work with her the whole time, oh well. According to her, the baby's head is super low.

I ranted to H this weekend about not knowing the sex of the baby. It would be so much easier if I knew whether or not we could sell all of the "girl" clothes (she had very very girly clothes as a newborn) or if we should start re-washing all of Lilly's clothes. I suppose I could wash them all anyway in preparation of use or selling.

The tub we have her clothes in holds 2 years worth of clothes and none of it is organized. And, of course, the newborn stuff is on the bottom.

GTKY: Lilly and I love to go to the library on Saturdays to "visit the ladies" as she says. She likes to say hi to the library ladies before picking out books for the week.

A lot of our activities go much smoother when H is around these days; as I don't have the energy to pick Lilly up or chase her around. We went swimming on Sunday. That felt really great.

Welcome classictwitch!!

How far along are you? 28 weeks. Third trimester!? I'm freaking out.

Due Date? October 17

Appointments/Updates? Took my 1 hour glucose test Friday. I'm anxiously waiting to see if my phone rings telling me I failed. If I make it through Wednesday without a phone call I will breathe easier hoping I passed.
Next appointment is August 4th.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Heartburn is kicked up a notch. Back aches and hip pain. Overall though I'm still feeling pretty good.

GTKY: Favorite activity to get yourself and your J13 babe out of the house? I hate the heat with a passion. I'm a fall/winter/early Spring type of person. So I try to get to the playground in the morning when it's cooler. We have been on a tight budget this summer, so I've been trying to get out and do things that don't cost a lot of money. My parents have a pool, so that comes in handy. She also enjoys fishing, and we like to do that after dinner occasionally. I would like to get her in to Boston one day this summer and go to the children's museum. We went to the aquarium back in April and she loved that.

Appointments/Updates? Baby is growing on track

We love going to the park but avoid it in the summer since it's so hot. In the summer we love to swim, but with H's work schedule we haven't gone much this year besides for R'a swimming lessons. But those were only for 6 weeks, 30 minutes a day.

How far along are you? 29 weeks.

Due Date? October 12

Appointments/Updates? Nothing new.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Still upset over losing out on the job offer and the whole way the company is handling it, but I'm trying to move on and just be excited about everything else in life. I'm still feeling good, we'll see what I say after my Zumba class tonight

GTKY: Favorite activity to get yourself and your J13 babe out of the house? Playing in the backyard because is easiest, she will usually let me sit on my butt while she plays (at the park she only wants me to push her on the swings). We spend a lot of time on the weekends at my IL or my parents which is a great break for me. DH takes her to the fish store (much closer than the aquarium ) and she loves that.

How far along are you? 12 weeks

Due Date? February 5

Appointments/Updates? I saw my midwife on Friday. Nothing to exciting too report expect that she's nice and I like her.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? I'm feeling less queasy less often, which is nice. Now if the exhaustion could back off a smidge, I'd be really excited.

GTKY: I like to take her somewhere we can play in the water. There's a nice nature park not far away with a short hike and a pretty stream that we like to go to.

momofcatan, I love that your LO likes the fish market! DH took E to what his co-worker refers to as "the free zoo" (Cabela's, apparently they have lots of real, stuffed animals the kids can touch) last week. She had a blast petting all the dead animals and she was very expressive about it when they came home.

How far along are you? 35 weeks, 5 days

Due Date? August 27

Appointments/Updates? Officially start my weekly check ups tomorrow. Not very excited about the cervical check but I'm also curious to see if I'm dilated at all.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Not feeling too bad overall, just the usual end of pregnancy stuff. I'm exhausted all the time, having a hard time bending over, catching my breath, peeing, etc. I've also been having really bad sciatic pain so I'm going to see the PT about it on Thursday.

GTKY: Favorite activity to get yourself and your J13 babe out of the house? Probably going to the store, any store, because it's air conditioned and E can run around. She loves the zoo but it's just too much for me in this heat (as I discovered this morning) so DH will have to take her from now on. We may be hitting up the library a lot more often though, as she's enjoyed that both times we've gone.

How far along are you? 10 weeks

Due Date? 2/24/16

Appointments/Updates? Next appointment is this Friday.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? I think I'm over the morning sickness hump! I've only been queasy the last 3 days instead of full blown nausea.

GTKY: Favorite activity to get yourself and your J13 babe out of the house? I love MOPS groups, DD gets to play with other kids and I get enriching adult time!

That's so funny. DH actually takes her to the pet fish store lol. We have one coral reef tank at home. DH used to have 3 tanks before we got married.

Due Date? Oct 17

Appointments/Updates? Appt & glucose test yesterday. Got an email that the results were normal today. Everything is measuring on track and looking good.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Rave: Over the weekend my sister-in-law said she wanted to buy us a double stroller. I was shocked, because strollers are SO expensive. We went shopping Sunday and got the Contours Options. I'm excited to have a brand new stroller - our Cortina and jogging strollers I bought used!

Besides having what I think is a leg settle into my ribs some nights, I'm feeling pretty good.

GTKY: Favorite activity to get yourself and your J13 babe out of the house? I like going to the mall to walk around. I also like the zoo - we were going to go last weekend, but we got busy with other things and it was hot as balls. We have a fun, not traditional splash pad not too far away that's fun too; E is such a water baby she loves it.

Welcome @nikel13 and classictwitch

How far along are you? 36.5 weeks

Due Date? August 22

Appointments/Updates? Tomorrow is my 36 week check-up and GBS swab. I'm tempted to have my cervix checked but will most definitely decline it. At 36 weeks last time, The OB checked to see if I was dilated for the heck of it. I had a hemorrhage in the office all over the exam table and floor. The OB ran out of the room and had 2 other docs come in to check on me. MH and I had to rush to L&D for monitoring and I was off work for a day or 2. After that experience, I declined all other checks until my due date. Even then, I bled a lot when I was checked. I do not wish to repeat that experience.

Rants/Raves/How are you feeling? Lots of contractions and uncomfortable baby movement. I am having trouble sleeping and my thoughts will sometimes keep me awake for hours. My pregnant mind wants everything to be settled before the baby arrives and there is still 1 lingering issue... After 6 months and 6 price reductions, we still have not sold our house. The relocation company, who is coordinating the sell through my husband's work, is pushing us to make another $4000 reduction. We are already down to the price we bought the house at 7 years ago, not including the $15,000 we put in for upgrades and renovations. At our selling price, every buyer is looking for seller's assist and comes in with an FHA mortgage which could lead to pricey repairs. We are so frustrated!

GTKY: Favorite activity to get yourself and your J13 babe out of the house? We head to the library and go grocery shopping. I am finding that grocery shopping has become a struggle because I cannot get G in and out of the shopping cart anymore. He is very uncooperative about putting his legs in. I think I will be leaving G with my MIL from now on.

Anything really. It's a very small town so we don't have a lot of options but a
I try to get some outside away from the house time at least once a weekend. We went hiking on Sunday.

[momofcatan]

Congrats @nikel13!

[huckleberry08]

PSNLS I lost my mucus plug and went into labor 3 days after a cervical check last time. I intend to decline them this go-round, as a result.

peachey I'm glad you are finally feeling good!
