May MOMMIES???

I am just checking in to see how everyone is feeling. We are soo close I can not wait. I hope everyone is doing fantastic!!!

Re: May MOMMIES???

I'm doing fine. Have my 34 wk appt tomorrow, will sched 2nd growth sono for 2 weeks.

Asked DH last night where the bag I want to use for the hospital is, he doens't know. Neither do I! The hunt begins.

Still swollen feet/ankles...my legs were bad this weekend. I guess it's just par for the course!

Had my shower March 18, didn't get to post about it yet, been to hectic!!

Re: May MOMMIES???

Doing good!

My biggest issue right now is sleep. Falling asleep, staying asleep, etc.

Which leads to my second issue - I'm so overtired that my emotions get the better of me more than I would like these days.

But I feel good other than that.

I've gained 34 pounds, no swelling issues to speak of, have Childbirth class #3 tonight.

My first of 4 showers is this weekend.

They are all very small showers, but our families and friends are so split up that it was the only way to do it.

My furniture is in, I just have to set up a delivery date, but I want to get the rugs cleaned first.

46 days left!!! Yikes!!

Re: May MOMMIES???

Almost 34 weeks and I'm absolutely done being pregnant! I can't sleep and when I actually do, it's like I'm half awake. The thought of another 6 weeks seems like nightmare at this point. I feel like a bad mommy saying this, but I want my body back!

At my Dr.'s appointment last week, he told me I was 50% effaced and mostly likely having the baby in April-- let's hope he's right!!!

Re: May MOMMIES???

I am almost 35 weeks and SOO ready to be done and meet our son.

I am still sick some days, and now my hands are constantly swelling. I have my growth sono on Friday to see if he is still measuring small, but I am pretty sure he had a pretty good growth spurt (I fell like I have at least )

I am just kind of hanging in limbo because my shower isn't for another 3 weeks, so I can't really finish anything off.

And I cannot WAIT to stop working.

Did I whine enough just there? Oh man, I swear I am not always having a pity party for myself

Re: May MOMMIES???

I am 34 weeks. Scheduled for May 1 as of now.

Still barfing but otherwise doing ok. Sleeping has become difficult but that goes with the territory.

Baby weighs approx 4lbs 14 ozs. I am sown 8 lbs pre-preggo weight (varies between 5-10 lbs) doc is ok since the baby is growing nicely.

I am ready to be done. This GD diet is killing me. I can't wait to eat some yummy food after I deliver!

Re: May MOMMIES???

I am 34 weeks and I am starting to feel like I have had enough. I am out of breath just going to pee - which I do every 15 minutes at least! I am not complaining, since I had a super easy pregnancy (sorry girls that didnt), but I am wearing down.
I had another sono the other day and he flipped, so as of now he isnt breech anymore... I hope he stays that way! His head, which they told me was big, is supposedly just the high end of normal now - since the time before, they had a hard time measuring due to his position.
Ok - guess what - gotta go pee.... SHOCKING!!!

Re: May MOMMIES???

I am doing okay - 34wks. I guess my biggest complaint is sleep or lack thereof at this point. I feel so tired during the day.

My shower is next weekend and then we are moving the weekend after that. So please pray that this little girl, holds off until 5/7.

I have a sonogram on 4/10 to check the position of the baby and her weight. So hopefully things will continue to go well.

I am anxious to meet her at this point. Curious about what she looks like...she definetely moves all the time now.

Other than that, I cant wait to stop working. I am oh, so tired...

and can use some rest time at home.

Best wishes ladies.

Re: May MOMMIES???

Wow, you ladies are getting so close. And I have to admit, reading this post made me thankful for the relatively pain-free timeframe I'm in right now!

Re: May MOMMIES???

34 weeks and doing pretty well.

I have a repeat c-section scheduled for my due date--May 8th @ 3:45pm. I can still try for VBAC if I go into labor before that though.

Sleeping is becoming a bit of a challenge--tossing and turning a lot with all of my pillows!

We are preparing Katherine's "big girl" room now; in fact, I just finished painting the window trim 5 minutes ago and we bought the rug, the dresser, bookshelf and a little table and chair set yesterday. I LOVE it and hope to have her in by 4/1.

I am about a million times more anxious this time than I was the last!

Re: May MOMMIES???

I am due May 31 so I JUST BARELY fit in this group I guess....

My carpal tunnel has been bad so I am seeing a rehab center tomorrow to see if I can do anything about it for now. And sleep is of course an issue.

The nursery is done - just have to do some wall hangings. Clothes are washed an away. Hopital bag is started - like I have some underwear in it and that's it. Got a nightgown this weekend since I didn't have any to take with me. Took our childbirthing class this past Saturday. I have a pediatrician appt. next week, as well as an appt. with a Doula.

My next and final u/s is in 2 weeks - I can't believe it!!

I still have to find a pediatrician and take a breastfeeding class but otherwise, I think I am keeping on top of things.

Feeling great!!

Re: May MOMMIES???

Tomorrow I'll be 33 weeks 6 days. Feeling fine to be honest (I've been really lucky). Have my shower this saturday and will have my 35 week growth sono a week from tomorrow. A number of family members have said that I've dropped - and the baby does feel very very low, but we'll see what happens at the doctor's appt on 4/3.

the nursery is done and we found a pediatrician. I'm reading a book on breast feeding and never managed to enroll in a childbirth class. Sleeping is fine once I get to sleep but when I wake up my back and stomach are killing me. My due date is the last day of classes and at first I was hoping I'd go late - but now I'm completely fine with possibly going early and having someone fill in for me - if it happens.

Re: May MOMMIES???

I'm 34 weeks and 1 day and am so scared and excited all together.

Getting very anxious about meeting our daughter ( I went very girly girl on the room and now scared about that reading Ang-Rich's story).

growth sono is Friday
Things are coming off the registry
Feelign the same but used to it

When will I start nesting? I know what I need to do and have made lists but no energy to get up off my but to do it

Re: May MOMMIES???

33 weeks tomorrow & so far, doing ok. The GD diet sucks for me too - I've strayed a little bit, but it is soooo limited. Although I have only gained 7lbs (it was 9 but I lost 2 when I started the "diet" three weeks ago), I still feel uncomfortable. The doctor said my weight shifted around so that is why my belly is as big as someone who gained a lot more than I did. I am having a bio-physical sono weekly now because of the GD, which, is kind of comforting. They can see what is going on so I don't have to worry so much if there is a problem. I also have to go to the lab once a week for blood sugar testing. Now, I go to the doctor every two weeks, too! Very busy, but like I said, things really are ok!

Re: May MOMMIES???

Re: May MOMMIES???

33 wks doing ok. up 27 lbs.
lots of movement.. at times painful, but its ok.
other than that just sleepy, and got some pains going on down there but baby is in position and docs think i'll go b4 due date anyhow.

Re: May MOMMIES???

I'm almost 35 weeks and doing okay. No swelling yet, just uncomfy and have heartburn so bad all the time. I've gained about 30 pounds thus far, but mostly belly so that's a good thing! I think I gained about 40 with my first.

I'm moving this weekend so I've been busy packing, which has been a huge pain!

Re: May MOMMIES???

I also fall into the end of this category - due May 28th.

So far I have been having a very easy time returning and exchanging things. I am starting to feel like we have a good amount of boy clothes now. Once all of the returns and exchanges are done and my shower comes I'll figure out what else we need and fill in. Also will start washing at that point. The word seems to be out to everyone about our surprise so I see things moving off the registry again.

Sleeping is not very comfortable but up until now I couldn't complain. Right now I get up a lot more often but can usually fall back asleep. We'll see how long that last.

Have a long list for DH that I am afraid he won't get done.

No furniture yet - getting anxious for the call.

Finished Lamaza and in April we have breastfeeding and baby care.

Have appt with pediatrician in May as well as Baptism class.

We're moving along.
