This statement gave me an OMG moment. Like, how are you (we) this far along already?

It is that whole my due date is not really my due date even though it is what is on all the paperwork, which makes it ever so fun to explain to people when they ask.

I can only imagine how fun/interesting those conversations are.

Heeeey!
I had a busy holiday preparing tons of baby stuff, house is ready, bags are packed and car seat installed, we just need baby! I'm 35+3 today. I'm battling exhaustion from not sleeping well due to pain/hunger/have to pee. DH has been amazing lately helping me get last little things ready. We finished his room over the holidays, I'll AW some photos here






and here we are today!


He has dropped down a bit, and my coworkers keep saying I got bigger recently. I'm 2.5 weeks away from finishing work, which is so lovely since walking sucks balls and all I want to do is sit on the bed all day (but I wont) My swim class restarts next week, I'm really looking forward to it, though not so much of the wrestling into my suit 2x a week.

Ermagerd @allthingsparkly - those pictures turned out beautifully!

I will be thinking of you Thursday @led - yay for half way!

AFM:

I am chugging along at 12 weeks. No annoying symptoms other than heartburn when I eat something no shouldn't (so em.... Kinda often) and I've been longing for hotdogs with mustard and onions lol.

We have our appointment on Thursday and will get to break out the Doppler!!! We have not seen nor heard baby yet so we are both very excited for it.

Also - I have a bump now! It's bitty but it's cute you can't really tell in my normal clothes but to pretty obvious in my Zumba spanks lol DH and SS1 are still convinced for no reason that it's twins lol.

Love and miss you all!

(Sorry for huge mobile pic)

ETA: okay, those shorts look SUPER short in that picture. I swear it's just the angle lol.

Eloise is 16 weeks old and quite the funny little girl. She is laughing, exploring textures with her hands, and pushing up during tummy time. She's my joy. Yesterday I went back to work and she started daycare. She's playing and sleeping well there but not eating much, which of course has me in a tizzy. Pumping sucks. Hopefully she'll adjust. Leaving her in the morning is the hardest thing I've ever done.

Keeping my fingers crossed for MOAR bfps.

@led YAY for 20 weeks! Hoping and praying for a healthy 20 week anatomy scan. I'll be thinking of you this week. Hope your body/mind lets you catch some sleep here soon!

So many beautiful babies & bumps! Keep up the good work !!

Nice long message typed out and now it's gone.  Grr!

36 weeks tomorrow!

Spent some time being monitored in triage yesterday because baby was much quieter than usual and for a longer period of time than normal.  After monitoring, and ultrasound to check fluid (to bad I didn't get to really see the baby since it was quick, but did see the baby having hiccups) and a few other things, and then more monitoring, they said all was good and sent me home.   I know this baby has it's quiet periods, but that was enough that I thought it warranted at least a call to my office. 

I've been nesting lately.  I've washed boy and girl clothes, car seat cover, rnp cover & nursing pillow covers.  I've sanitized pump parts, bottles, and paci's.   After yesterday's hospital trip I decided to start putting together a hospital bag.  I feel like I'm going to overpack this time because although I'm hoping for a vbac I'm still packing for a c-section and that will require slightly different clothes so they don't interfere with the incision. 

I struggle to tie my shoes when I wear tennis shoes and even getting my boots on is tough.

I'm out of breath a lot, up every hour or so to pee and still being annoyed by restless legs.

I have my gb strep test next week and then am on weekly appointments.  I was hoping they would do that last week since I didn't have dd with me for once, but they didn't and I'll have to bring her to that one (at least there is always youtube to entertain her)

Happy New Year, GKU! I wish you ladies all the best this year.

I'm 15w5d, we have our anatomy scan at the end of the month & we'll find out if the little human inside me is a boy or girl.

Here's my bump today, please excuse the bad pic:

Update time!

Appointment with the MW this morning went well. I get to skip the GTT and instead will just track my blood sugars for a week. So that's a huge relief because last time I tried like 3 times and could never keep that nasty stuff down.

At the anatomy scan they only got about half the pictures they needed, so I have to go back in two weeks for round 2. They were able to get clear pictures of the spine, though, and that's what I was most worried about and it looked good. So that was a huge relief! Baby would not stop moving so it was almost impossible to get good pictures or see things, but we managed to get a clear view of the crotch and as much as I was SO SURE it was a boy, I'm having a girl!!!

Overall a great appointment! I could not be more relieved that so far everything is looking good. Hopefully I can finally get some sleep tonight! Thank you guys for being there for me. I've been such a mess and you've all helped me way more than you know.
