Anyone want to switch to a daily thread? I am loving all the chatter here! 36 weeks tomorrow, wahoo! Goal for this week is to take it easy and finish up anything outstanding. I have an hair appt and I might book a massage. I'd love to sew burp cloths and I need to wrap Christmas presents. I was up a couple of times through the night with back pain / cramping. Maybe irregular contractions? I am getting really nauseated when I try to do stuff around the house. I have my GBS swab tomorrow and I'm assuming he will do a cervical check then.
I don't mind switching. So exciting that you might be almost there, boiler717! I really hope you go into labour on your own soon.
I'm 32 weeks tomorrow, and they won't bother checking my cervix anymore because I guess women's cervixes naturally start shortening at this point anyway. I'm feeling so much better now that my bed rest allows for me to be up and moving around a bit. I'm still taking it super easy (I don't want any surprises before H arrives) but I feel like my circulation and muscle soreness have improved. I've got an appointment with my maternity doc on Tuesday and am going to push for that referral to the OB surgeon for a c-section. Then another appointment at the hospital for my NST and placenta/fluid check on Wednesday.
I think switching to daily woukd be great. I have had a miserable cold since Friday, and it feels like such a man cold lol. I figure if there's ever a time for it to be okay, it's when the can't sleep because I'm 30+ weeks pregnant and I add in not sleeping because I can't breathe through my nose and I have a sore throat. My goal this week is to finish my shower thank you notes, get lists planned for when our completion coupons come, and hopefully start Christmas shopping.
boiler717 a daily thread would be nice and I hope the pain/cramps mean you'll be going into labor soon!
loira I'm glad you are feeling better now that you are able to be up and about a little more. I hope you get your referral for c-section. Is it just another week before your H is with you?
25 weeks today. I've got to go to the base Tuesday morning so I can pick up my GD supplies and have my training class on how to test and then I have to go back on Wednesday morning to meet with the Nutritionist. My actual dr appointment isn't until the 16th.
Yesterday we got all of our Christmas decorations up. The last things left are to put the candles in the windows and get our tree up and decorated. I got on my H the other night about painting the nursery and how much it's really starting to give me anxiety that it's not done yet. He said he would try to start working on during the week because I told him there's too much other stuff that needs to be done on the weekend, there's a Saturday that I work, his mom is coming in for Christmas and then we are going to Knoxville to meet halfway with my parents for New Years so any time that we have around then is done for. I need the painting done and the furniture delivered before the end of the month for my peace of mind. Thankfully he understood.
lms, yes it's a little over a week. He should arrive on the 17th if he makes all his flights (he's flying standby so no guarantees). I'm glad your H understands your need to feel prepared.

I ordered 2 pairs of side panel maternity Jennings yesterday morning hopefully they arrive this week! Also, this whole 2nd tri symptoms going away thing is awesome for eating and not feeling like ass....BUT it makes me paranoid too!! 2 more weeks til my next OB appt.
I'm 9wks today and in m/s misery. Sea bands didn't help at all. I'm taking B6/unisom @ night but it's not helping during the day. My insurance wouldn't cover the Diclegis, so I'm trying just B6 throughout the day, but still throwing up after every meal and really feel like I'm failing as a mom - all I want to do is lay on the couch....I'm thankful that this pregnancy is progressing, but can't wait for the next 4weeks to pass

Ugh, I'm sorry. It's the worst. You are not failing, I promise.
30 weeks1 day over here and the anxiety level over here is high. Getting past dd's gestation is big and also trigger inducing. So we are both on edge. So by the time Thursday rolls around dw will be more pregnant than I ever was. Which is strange and I hope will be comforting.
I heard back from the union and it doesn't look good about splitting my leave. Ugh. Now I need to do the math and figure out if I can afford to take 2-3 days unpaid in addition to the two personal days they will let me take and leave my paid parental leave for the spring and take my 15 days then. Ugh
Hang in there whodey. you're doing the best you can. The sickness will pass soon enough, do what you need to do to survive until then!
I had Braxton hicks contractions allll day yesterday. A little crampy on and off too, which was concerning. I rested and drank a lot of water. Trying to do the same today too and feeling better thankfully.
I hope they check you tomorrow boiler717! It's hard to believe how close you are.
callmehales - I'm with you! Except I'm still SO incredibly tired. I cannot get enough sleep. And you go back in 2 weeks? I don't have another appt until the week of Jan 20! That'll be for an anatomy scan and I won't have seen the doc for almost 2 months! Feels so weird.
I think I have a cold. I went to the doc on Friday bc I had a fever on Thursday and Friday morning. I also left work early on Thursday - which I never do. The doc did a step and flu test but both were negative. She ended up telling me to "go home and rest". Right. With a three year old at home. I'll get right to that.
We had a few friends over today to celebrate DD's birthday and it was so fun. Thankfully, dh took over when everyone went home and I slept for 2.5 hours.
lms, yes it's a little over a week. He should arrive on the 17th if he makes all his flights (he's flying standby so no guarantees). I'm glad your H understands your need to feel prepared.
I know the excitement that you must be feeling to have him with you. It's tough enough just to be separated but then to be pregnant at the same time ... I can't imagine. I'm so glad that my H didn't have to be deployed while I was doing the IUI's as I don't know how I would have gotten through.
13w1d. I think I am starting to get over the morning sickness finally. I am still queasy at times but haven't thrown up in a few days. I arms am starting to get over my cold so hopefully I will be feeling better soon. I am still exhausted though. The symptoms going away makes me so nervous too and I hate having appointments every 4 weeks rather than every week. My next appointment is on the 17th and I am counting the days.
Also, I think I am going crazy because I swear I am feeling flutters. It's my 2nd baby but still way too early, right?

babyrn, from what I've read, I definitely think you could be feelings flutters that early for your second baby. Lucky you!
spearmintleaf, in a way, it's a good time to tell them, so they have something positive to distract them from the drama with their mom. And I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I had no contractions until I was in active labor after my water broke. I did have cramping for a few weeks before. It was productive as I was like 5 cm dilated when I checked in to the hospital.

I get bad morning sickness. Throwing up, the works. The only thing that works for me is zofran. I'm functional usually with it. Can you do B6 + unisom?

Not crazy. I started feeling flutters with this one around 14 weeks. I'd keep looking up at DH asking "was that just something?" He thought I was nuts. I got a lot of "Um, I'm not sure. I'm not in your ute."
babyrn I'm 14.5 weeks with my second and have been feeling flutters here and there for the past couple weeks. I mentioned it to my doctor and she didn't dismiss it as impossible.
This is the last week of parenting alone for me. DH comes back from his extended business trip on Friday. Hallelujah! I am soooo tired of being on my own. And finally we can get our Christmas tree next weekend.
27 weeks today. So crazy! Getting more and more done which is a nice feeling. DD turns 3 in a month and I totally dropped the ball on her party! I hired Merida from brave for the party and will send out invites this week. It makes me feel so sad for her that I forgot about it because I've been thinking about the baby!
My goal this week is to finish sorting through the stuff I'm selling of DD's now and what I'm holding onto until the next big consignment sale here.
Feeling okay, just really large. I can barely lean over the tub when DD is in the bath, can't imagine how much bigger I will get! Also feeling really tired and just wiped in general.

I'm game for a daily thread. Then I can post what I intend to do for the day and might be more motivated to follow through!
33w2d here! I have less than 5 weeks before the doctors want these babies out! DH and I are kind of freaking out about how much we still want to get done before they are here; I'm debating seeing if I can get my dad and stepmom to come spend the weekend with us to help. DH has Friday off, but our day is quickly filling up with my NST and then a variety of errands; Saturday he will be busy half the day with his volunteer work; and Sunday church takes up nearly half the day.
I picked up a bunch of used cloth diapers today; I'm super excited to get them stripped and bleached and ready to go this week!
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
I'm 32w today. Looking forward to my appointment tomorrow - first NST and I get an ultrasound (haven't had one in a month). DH is working from home and it'll be his first appointment with me since 20w. Hoping that baby A has flipped head down, if not I think we'll be talking about a c-section.
DH just has to paint the bookshelves and hang the mobiles we got from Etsy and then the nursery will be done! I started washing the cloth diapers and made good progress on that, I'm looking forward to putting them all in the changing table and feeling like we're really ready for the babies to come.
Hi. I'm 19 weeks on Monday. I'm still kind of shocked as we get to each new week. Anatomy scan in the morning. I've been pretty excited for it to get here but now I'm in freak out mode and worried something won't look right.
I also felt really sick today and barfed the first time in weeks. I thought that was over. The bump is getting out of control. I can't imagine how huge I'll be at the end. haha
