Pregnancy Chat - October

Name/SO Name: Cheryl/Kevin

How many weeks are you? 34 weeks, 2 days

Any exciting dates/appointments this month? Weekly apts from here on out starting with this Friday

Do you feel like you will go early or late? Probably Late. Baby #1 was born on his due date, baby #2 was 3 days late, so the chances of this baby coming early are slim to none.

How are you feeling physically? Like crap. I have horrible pain almost constant, in my back, hips and neck. It has gotten to the point that I have been in tears the pain is so bad. It takes me forever just to get out of bed, which is not a good thing when you have and 19 month old screaming his head off in the middle of the night.

How are you feeling emotionally? Pretty good. I have my moments.

What's on your to-do list to get ready for baby this month? Pack the hospital bag, put baby clothes in dresser, put car seat in car, bring bassinet in from barn. Now that I think about it, I have LOTS to do this month!

Do you know the gender yet? If not, are you thinking pink or blue? Baby boy

**What's the best/worst thing about being PG? :-D

The best is feeling the baby move around ( before it becomes to painful) and just knowing that there is a a little life growing inside of you. The worst- The pain at the end of PGcy.

Name/SO Name: Liz and Sean

How many weeks are you? 38w6d

Any exciting dates/appointments this month? I expect I'll have a baby.

Do you feel like you will go early or late? Who the heck knows? I've already been pregnant a week longer than I was with Peter.

How are you feeling physically? Pretty miserable. I'm taking tylenol around the clock just to function through the rib pain. They say there's nothing to do other than have the baby. Otherwise it isn't too bad unless baby twists and hits a nerve. I have yet to swell, though I have removed my rings pre-emptively, just in case I get an IV at the hospital.

How are you feeling emotionally? I'm just done. Nesting hit so hard yesterday that when Sean tried to convince me to go to the park, I broke down sobbing that our house was too dirty and I needed to clean. Peter's also been really clingy, so I'm sure that doesn't help at all.

What's on your to-do list to get ready for baby this month? We want a new infant car seat, but it's not a necessity. At this point, I'm as ready as I can be.

Do you know the gender yet? If not, are you thinking pink orblue? I feel pink, but who knows? Peter says it's a sister girl.

**What's the best/worst thing about being PG? :-D I love feeling the rolling movements, but I really hate the end when you hit the miserable point. And it's tough with a toddler who only wants mama and has to touch me all.the.time.

 

Name/SO Name:  Shawn/KJ

How many weeks are you?  31w4d

Any exciting dates/appointments this month?  Just regular OB appt this week, then I'm on bi-weekly appts.

Do you feel like you will go early or late?  Early, should be November 20th as long as baby doesn't have other ideas!

How are you feeling physically?  Ok.  Back is starting to hurt off and on and my hips still hurt pretty bad at night.  Starting to make even more bathroom trips and it's definitely harder to bend over

How are you feeling emotionally?  Also ok.  Is it weird that I'm only 7 weeks out from delivery and still haven't really had that "a-ha" moment.  Like holy cow, we're really having another baby?

What's on your to-do list to get ready for baby this month?  I need to get the bassinet from my grandma's house.  Pick up a couple of breastfeeding supplies.  Nothing major (I don't think, unless I'm forgetting something!)  Finally finished most of the nursery!

Do you know the gender yet? If not, are you thinking pink orblue?  pink!

**What's the best/worst thing about being PG? :-D  Best thing is movement, for the most part anyway   Also the anticipation that comes with baby and your growing family!  Worst part is just the general discomforts that come with pregnant, both at the beginning and at the end!

Cheryl - Yay for weekly appointments!  Just another sign that you're in the home stretch! 

Jules - I'm sorry you're feeling crappy   Hang in there mama, getting closer!!

Liz - I'm sorry you're feeling crapp, too   Youre, so, so close!!  Can't wait to find out what it is!

Jessica - Glad the ultrasound went well!  Hard to believe so many of us are towards the end now!

AFM -  As noted above I almost finished the nursery this weekend.  Waiting on some bedding to be delivered yet and need to get some blinds for the window, but that's minor, espcially since she won't be sleeping in there right away.  I need to do her name letters for the wall, but that would require choosing a name.  We're still deciding between two, although I think we're leaning about 60/40 toward Stella.  We'll see, though!  Other than that things are chugging along!
