Pregnant check in?

[Na]

How is everyone? Super pregs? delraewil? nannerl?

I am 25 weeks and still measuring too big, but finally stopped dropping weight so ob was pleased today. I feel okay actually aside from the fast heartbeat. 

I am trying to get the house ready for baby. Super excited I finally ordered some cute snuggly clothes for baby.  I need to make a list of stuff I need- nursing pads and creams and all that happiness.

How is everyone feeling?

Doing OK! 40 weeks on Friday. Heading over to the new house today to try and make some more headway with unpacking and organizing. So far baby is staying put, but had four uncomfortable contractions last night spaced about a half-hour apart each. I figured no point sitting up and timing them, so I went to bed thinking if they got worse I'd wake up anyway. Woke up at 6AM not in labor. The exact same thing happened towards the end with A's pregnancy and he still needed to be evicted at 41+, so I'm not expecting anything to kick in any time soon.

I'm making a final choice on nursery wall color this morning. Dad has offered to paint-- so excited! Hope I chose wisely... no time to ponder this one :-)

35 weeks tomorrow... I'm feeling short of breath and still really hungry. I get contractions and Braxton hicks A LOT.  I've got a few last minute things to do for baby, like bed sheets and washing her clothes but for the most part I'm ready. I washed the car seat cushion and will probably put it in my car next week. I have to do a hospital bag too, but I figure I've got time.

17 weeks yesterday. Feeling pretty good, the varicose veins on the backs of my legs have already started to swell They're not painful yet. I didn't wear compression socks/hose last time, but I'm thinking they might be necessary this time. Any good recommendations? Getting pretty antsy about the anatomy scan next week, I want to see this bub already!

Just about 34 weeks and starting to feel more crappy.

I told H last night that I'm over being pregnant, but not yet ready to have a baby, so I asked if he could take over gestating for a week or so. No dice.

I got the bucket seat all out back together, I still have to wash all the bedding, clean out her room, pick a paint colour, let H paint, and track down some 0-3 clothes.

I'm also very frustrated with Amazon in trying to get a second camera for our monitor (the Motorola one). Ordering through Amazon.ca they're at least $175. Through Amazon they're $100, but don't ship to Canada. Apparently none of the stuff I wanted from Amazon.com ships to Canada. Bastards!!

37 weeks yesterday!! I feel like I have so much to do, but absolutely NO energy. My back has been hurting often and I'm having lots of Braxton hicks. I've gone to bed early a lot this week. My work had a breakfast for me Monday and I got a lot of diapers we are having a close family and friends cookout saturday so I hope that goes well. I'll be jealous because everyone else will be drinking. Dh is convinced that the baby will be here early....I'm not sure I would object. I'm so ready to be done

38 weeks! 9 days or less until csection. Have an ob appt this afternoon. Got out some of the baby toys this week and the play gym. Still need to pack hospital bag and grab size 1 diapers. Everything else is ready!

[rxbeth]

19 weeks today!

Had an appointment this morning and OB is very happy with everything (weight, BP, fundal size, etc).

Next Friday is my anatomy scan but we aren't going to find out the gender.

[delraewil]

Still freaking pregnant... 9 days late... but the good news is I'm being induced TODAY!! Nothing exciting yet.. just getting admitted. Not what I envisioned but I'm so ready to have him out!

This needs its own thread!

WE are having a baby!

GL!

16 weeks now and feeling good! I don't think I'm really feeling the baby move yet but I also don't feel sick or anything so it's a weird place to be in. I just have a little bump. I haven't really done anything for this baby yet, but I think I will be able to move into preparing mode more once I know if it's a boy or girl. We find out September 9th! I feel like I have most of what we will need but I will need to get some new clothes either way because a lot of H's newborn and 0-3 stuff is for summer and this baby will probably be here in January. It's all starting to get more real

So excited for the anatomy scans ladies! They are the best!

Sorry you are so uncomfy puppylove64 but sweet of your coworkers!

raynes I have also tried pawning off the gestation. No takers lol.

nannerl I am so glad you have manual labor available! I am sure whatever color you chose will be great! Pip!

Baby hasn hiccups and is strong enough I can see the kicking from outside and feel him on my anterior placenta side

5w5d...
I hate the first trimester. I feel awful but can't tell anyone and need to pretend like im fine at work. It's the worst. Once I'm "out" i dont care because I have an excuse
I've been nauseous at night. I'm glad my m/s isnt in the morning because of work.

After work I crawl in bed and rest until bed time.

[imimahoney]

11 weeks.

I feel fat and gross. I hate the first tri.

NT scan on the 28th

[Na]

Ugh first trip blows. Godspeed ladies.

[mrsjaymay]

12 weeks today! Time is passing slower than ever waiting for my next appt on 8/29! I just want to know they are both ok in there.

Feeling good other than exhaustion and a weird episode of lightheadedness/almost passing our today at work. I think I'm headed to bed early tonight!

19 weeks. We found out it's a girl on Friday. Headaches are slowly killing me. Everything about this pg seems amplified.

But...it is going quickly, for which I am so thankful! I'm also weirdly wistful since we think this is our last.

We decided she'll be named Nora and hearing Graham say "No-wuh" is the cutest thing ever.

I predict a 40 lb weight gain with this pg. I gained a little over 30 with G and it's piling on much more quickly with this one. My appetite is ridiculous, and I still feel sick if I get hungry.

How did the family reveal go with SIL?

I hit 10 weeks on Tuesday. MS is starting to subside a little. It was 24/7, but now I can get through most of the day if I eat regularly. Evenings are still bad though. It really is only the last day or two that I have been feeling a little better. I hope this trend continues.

I want to buy things for the baby, but I don't need anything really at this point. Especially since I don't know what it is yet. I can probably find out around Halloween. I can't wait!
