1. How far along are you? Team?

2. Rants, raves, feelings?

3. Have you decided if/what visitors you will allow after birth? Does your hospital/birth centre allow visitors right now?

4. For those that know your baby's sex, did you have an inclination one way or the other before finding out? And for those who are team green, do you have a feeling about what baby's sex will be?

1. How far along are you? Team?

35+1 with DS2. Twenty-two days until birth!

2. Rants, raves, feelings?

Same ol' story. Sore, tired, ready for this to be over. Thankfully I'm finally working (mostly) from home now which is making my life a bit less stressful.

3. Have you decided if/what visitors you will allow after birth? Does your hospital/birth centre allow visitors right now?

Our hospital is not allowing any visitors to the maternity ward (yay!). Ontario is also under a stay a home order and we can be fined if we're caught with people in our home who don't live there. The exceptions are in-home medical care, domestic help (cleaners/nannies), and if someone lives alone they're allowed to "bubble" with one other household only. The order is currently set to expire just before DS2 gets here, but will probably be extended. So visits will be through the window with very very few exceptions. Our numbers are finally going back down, but got pretty bad after Christmas.

4. For those that know your baby's sex, did you have an inclination one way or the other before finding out? And for those who are team green, do you have a feeling about what baby's sex will be?

I was so sure this baby was a girl. Sneakpeak came back as boy which I was really surprised about. Then I convinced myself it was wrong, but the ultrasound was clear as day. With DS1 I was so sure he was a boy the whole time. I sometimes secretly wonder if my losses were girls and somehow I can only successfully carry boys.

I am pretty sure I’m next. And thank you! I’m so glad it’s almost over. I feel bad saying that I can’t wait to never do this ever again because I’m acutely aware that so many women would do anything to feel this awful, but it’s how I feel.

I’m almost 10 weeks and have my NIPT testing and can find out the gender early. My appointment is this coming week.
