@led, awesome news about your appointment! Happy dance coming your way!
madamewaffles, congrats!!!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!
As for me, I'm 34w2d today and hanging in there. Baby has dropped and my NST last week picked up more contractions registering about 10% stronger than the week before. Based on two weeks of NST data and my growth scan from last week doctor is estimating she'll be early. He's taking a wild guess at 38 weeks, which puts me at Thanksgiving week, but I'm not holding breath on that.
Right now I'm just struggling through my last couple weeks of work. Depending on how my NST this Friday goes I might ask to be released a week earlier than originally planned, especially if baby does come early. I want at least a couple of weeks off my feet from work before she arrives. The amount of lightning crotch and contractions I get all day long has me ready to just say fuck it to work and be spend the next however many weeks on my couch resting. We'll see how things go on Friday though. But I'll be getting my hospital bag all packed up just to be safe.
Anyways, here's my weekly bump photo from Sunday.
I'm always lurking and cheering for everyone here to get their BFP. Love you guys!
mynameiscarrie I was 3 months premature-I had my own growth chart since I never registered on the "normal" one. As long as I kept gaining weight the doctor's were happy. Don't worry that she is on the low percentile. She looks happy and healthy.

Ahhhhhhh so many adorable bumps and babies!!!!! All you ladies that are so close to d-day just give me all the feels, it's such a terrifying/wonderful experience and I wish I could relive it all.
Layla is 5 weeks old already!!! At a month old she was 10 lbs 13 oz, so up 2 lbs in a month. She finally started smiling on purpose, and coos up a storm. She's a pretty good sleeper, but has some gas issues so I'm trying to cut out dairy to see if that helps her poor tummy. Other than that she is adorable, and amazing, and I still can't believe she's mine.

@led, I seriously cried at my desk when I read your update. SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! paging TrickyJedi any updates lady? Do you have an outside baby yet?
Things have been pretty boring here. We picked out the nursery colors and are going paint shopping this weekend. My mother brought over a bunch of fabric she's been hording for years and it will make the perfect baby quilt to go with the nursery. I can't wait until she comes for Thanksgiving so we can get started on it. I've been preoccupying myself with eating down our freezer, planning out enough frozen meals and food options to feed a small army, and making Christmas gifts. Baby girl has gotten a lot more aggressive with her kicking but still gets shy EVERY time MH puts his hand on my stomach.
I'm so late...but better late than never, right? Baby A is 4.5 months old and she's a mess lol She's constantly chewing on her hands and drooling like crazy. She's figured out how to screech/squeel so my ears officially hate her (ha!)...She loves to sit up and is getting really good at it. All she wants to do is roll from back to belly so her play mat is pretty much useless....She's getting so big & we're loving every minute of it! Here she is at the fall festival on Saturday...(her straps were fixed after the pic)

Hey ladies, so I haven't been on for a while but things have a bit hectic about our little arrival!!! Noah joined us on 10/7 after being 11 days overdue and having to be induced. It was a rough delivery, he came out face up and and gave me a 2nd degree internal tear before he even crowned. They were trying to stitch as I pushed, I did end up needing a blood transfusion after. At 6:19 pm Mr. Jedi actually had to deliver the LO due to everyone else trying to stop the bleeding and Noah came in to the world at 8lb9oz, 20 1/2 inches long. Having my husband tell me that we have a son was one of the best moments in my life!!!
We've been taking the time to figure this all out and enjoying baby snuggles. He is the most expressive baby I've ever met and he is honestly the greatest thing I have ever done with my life and will ever do!

teraiin, thank you for thinking of me, sweet girl! I absolutely get how the lessening symptoms and nausea can be worrisome. I was the same with this pregnancy and all my first tri symptoms returned with a vengeance during second tri. FX these next two weeks fly by for you!
Rama, your actions today do not surprise me one bit.
madamewaffles, so many hugs, congrats, and prayers for baby waffles!
expatmama11, I absolutely love that photo. You are radiating!
29+4 today. **** pity party warning **** I am struggling a bit over the past few weeks with my physical and mental health so I moved up my OB appointment to this Thursday. It's definitely been hard to manage living at my mom's, renovating our new condo, being without DH, working, and keeping up with DD and all of her activities. I'm constantly playing catch up with everything. Oh, and I also ruined my car in our new parking garage, so that was an awful financial set back for us. Hopefully this Thursday I will get some good news from my OB to keep my spirits up. Reading this thread automatically makes me smile, though. I'm still lurking and wishing y'all the best. XO.

Thanks icequeen!! Sorry you are having a rough time. I can definitely relate to being without your husband but I can only imagine how much more difficult it is when you already have a little one to take care of. Hang in there pretty lady!!

D is 7 weeks and just finished a nightmare of a growth spurt. He had his checkup and weighs 11lb 13oz, and 23in long now which is 2in and 5lbs in 7 weeks and I'm happy.
He likes to smile and coo at us and loves to sit up and stand.
Lurking in the night for bfps and rooting for you all!
And Daddy giving him a bottle for the first time...
