Hi everyone! I'm alive.

[biblionerd]

Life is freaking crazy right now. It's finally (kind of?) settling down. Maybe. We got our house sold and moved into the new one in October. The kids went trick or treating for the first time.

Ruby's doing well. I am almost 34ish? weeks pregnant now. OB doesn't think I'll make it to my c/s date on the 21st (or it might be the 22nd, I can't remember right now. How horrible is that?). I'm just trying to make it to Christmas. I haven't had to be admitted yet, but have had horrible contractions regularly. I failed the 1hr GTT and passed the 3. As of last week Ruby was measuring 10 days ahead. Last time I had mild polyhydramnios, this time I have moderate, verging on severe. The worn out ute is already measuring 40 weeks thanks to all of the fluid. I'm 4'11" so it sucks balls. I have to go to the OB tomorrow or the ER tonight if my symptoms get worse, but they're concerned I have the beginnings of preeclampsia. I started having flashes in my vision and a splitting headache that tylenol won't touch. I've had awful nausea, heartburn, and right sided pain that we assumed was my gallbladder acting up (did with Linus), but apparently pre-e can mock that as well or something. Anywho, the bp is usually less than 110 over less than 70 and today it was up to 145 over 82. So fingers crossed for that... Ruby's already 5lb 8oz as of last week. U/s chick said she had plenty of fat rolls already and in true biblio fashion she has giant cheeks and a big ol' round head. Here are all 3 of their 33ish week u/s to compare. They go in order- ruby on the right.

I think that's about it... done with christmas shopping, mostly wrapped. The house is still an absolute disaster from moving. Stairs suck when you're pg and your almost 2 yr old thinks she needs carried up and down. Random pics...

Thanks! Soooo close. I want it to be over, but I have NOTHING for Ruby. I take that back... I got a new RNP and some newborn fleece sleepers. I need all new bottles since I tossed mine after going through both the kids and my seasons are totally off. Linus is still in his crib, which is going to be Ruby's. I know she'll be in the RNP for a bit anyway though. I just feel so unprepared and not ready for a newborn!! You'd think I've never done this or something.

Omg, hello! I was thinking about you last week, wondering how the PG was going. The kids look great, and I cannot believe Linus is so big! I still think of him in the monster outfit.

[katfco]

Good to see you on here and I'm sorry you're having some difficulties in the pregnancy but it's great that she's measuring big!

[Deleted]

So glad you updated! Both the kids are super adorable.

[bean47]

Hi! I've been wondering about you. I'm sorry to hear you're having a rough time with your pregnancy. Your kids are adorable as always and it looks like Ruby is too!

[biblionerd]

Thanks everyone! And I have some catching up to do, but congrats to all of the (million?) other pg people on the board lol. All the April 12 kids are looking soooo big!

[shevacc]

Hi there! I've been wondering about you, L, and F! I hope trick or treating was fun with no allergy drama and that you're doing great. Sorry the end of pregnancy kinda sucks, but I can't wait to see pictures of little Ruby!

[Deleted]

Wow! Quite the update!! So glad to hear from you!!!! OMG you're kids (including ruby!) are so adorable!!! Hugs! Does someone here have your info so we can send t&p's once you're on your way to the hospital for delivery? Can't wait to see that adorable little girl!!!

Hi!!!! I can't believe how much they'll all look alike.

Hi! I know! Ruby measured to the day for the longest time and we thought there might be a chance of having an average sized baby. We were wondering what we'd do if she came out with one of the skinny newborn faces instead of our giant headed kids. Yeah... no chance of that now lol. And now that Fiona's getting a lot taller and Linus has slowed down everyone assumes they're twins. My random confession... I've lied and said they are twins because I'm sick of the looks people give me when I say they're 1 and 2 with one due in January. How are you feeling?

Thanks! Trick or treating was hard. :/ Her milk and peanut allergies aren't (or don't seem to be at least) severe enough that being near it triggers her. So we let her pick whatever and put it in her bucket and once it was in there they didn't bother them. Then I picked out everything she could eat (lol, uh, smarties was it) and made a special Fiona bucket. So whenever linus got candy she got smarties. Hopefully next year will be a little easier since a lot of the peanut and milk free candies are too chewy/hard/etc. for her. Linus is adorable though. He know that "Fiona is 'lergic to cow's milk and peanuts" and is starting to learn what foods she can and can't have. She tried to get his waffle the other day and he yelled "NO FIONA! That has cow's milk in it!"

Can't say I blame you on that one! It would get old fast. All you r kiddos are adorable!

[kistjenn]

Hello!  So glad to hear from you.  I was just thinking about you today and wondering how you and the family have been.  Glad to hear all is pretty well.  Can't believe your almost to your due date.
Love the pictures!

[cat19]

Hey there! So glad to hear from you. I hope that everything is OK, but those are all the things they are having me look out for since my BP is rising now - I would say you'll need to go in. Maybe we'll have matching birthdays for the babies! I was thinking about you the other day - my husband brought up Linus for a name the other day! I hope you get to check in more frequently!

[Deleted]

I was just thinking about you the other day! I am glad to hear from you and thanks for the updates!

[eav2c]

Soooooo ridiculously happy to hear that you are doing okay and my gosh you have the most beautiful kiddos. I cannot wait to see Miss Ruby! L&F have grown so much.

[TrudyCampbell]

Hi! Glad to see you back! I'm not sure if you were around for it but I found out I'm also having a Ruby

[AndyCohen]

Hellooo! So glad to get an update. I hope Ruby hangs in there for you. How's the new house?

[rxbeth]

I'm glad to hear things are well despite some blips with the pregnancy. Good to see you!
