Pregnant Mama RollCall!

[ElvinCreated]

Who's expecting?? Any due dates coming up too quickly?? Not fast enough?

I'm working 40+ hours a week and haven't been online much at all
26 weeks and doing great. I stepped on a scale for the first time in six months and found out I'm 5 lbs. under my pre-pregnancy weight. (which is awesome b/c I gained 25 nursing E) My primary midwife is going north to do arctic work at the end of Jan. so I have a new one now. She's nice & knowledgable, but not the same. Ah well. As long as the baby is safe, right...

Soo... How's everyone else??

I'm good - 4ish weeks to go. Had my final growth ultrasound today to check on Olivia's progress. She's measuring 35 weeks 5 days and i'm currently 36 so right on target. Estimated weight is 5 lbs 12 oz which seems huge with 4 weeks left to go, but i also know that those estimates are notoriously wrong, so i'm not putting much stock in it.
Feeling pretty good. Pelvis is very uncomfortable but she's head down and that's what matters!
Busy around here because of my mom's fire & now having her & my little sister as well as their dogs with us. But we're settling in to the new routine.

14w1d here..just hanging in there. I'm in that awkward, I'm feeling better and no baby movement yet, so I don't really feel pregnant and thus I just feel fat..haha..Hoping the next couple of weeks changes the way I feel about it all(though I don't want the nausea back to remind me!)...

9 day left to my due date. But I already expect to be late, though I won't mind if I'm not. It's a girl this time so I've had a blast knitting girly fluff. So far this pregnancy has been free of complications, other than the normal pregnancy complaints.

I"m trying to squeeze in one more full week of school with the big kids before we take a 6 week break.

I'm 32 weeks, but since my last two came at 35 weeks, we're getting "ready" around here. I'm having an "off the record" homebirth with a midwife who's a family friend... Due to my tending to go a wee bit early. Anything earlier than 35 weeks and I'm headed to the hospital though, and I'm feeling VERY done, so, just trying to take it easy and relax...

8w2d with #2. Awaiting the first appt with a midwife this time. I feel like crap when I don't eat and worse when I do. I can't wait until I'm in the second trimester.

Exactly 35 weeks today. On tuesday, though, I'm measuring 42. I've been ahead for a couple months now. I believe the baby dropped a bit yesterday. I had a dream on Oct 29th that I'd have the baby on Nov 25th, but we shall see.

Just about 35 weeks! Feeling huge, I had been blessed with EASY pregnancies with the other 2 kids...this one has been painful and tired everyday. So I will be glad to meet baby!

I think nesting might be kicking in finally. Stayed up until midnight cleaning every inch of our kitchen. DH was in a car accident yesterday too so it looks like I might also have to finish our flooring and a little bit of painting on my own so our midwife has somewhere cozy to sleep.

29 weeks, and feeling actually a bit better than I did earlier in the pregnancy. Hoping for a healthy ending to the pregnancy with a normal delivery, but as long as baby is okay and I am okay, all is well.

I have been doing a ton of clearing out as this baby is a boy, so trying to at least reduce the girly stuff I have been saving for the past three years since my daughter was born. It is a little ridiculous actually how much stuff has accumulated.

We did our hospital tour yesterday- I thought my girl would be all excited and she was, but was really kind of wild. Not her normal self at all- wondering how things will go when she comes to visit her baby brother who she is totally excited to meet.

I've not been here much at all lately, but I've been creeping back and reading up on everyone. I am fairly certain that I didn't ever announce that I am expecting #5. Came as quite a shocker, to say the least. Baby is due April 26th which puts me at around 16.5 weeks. So when baby makes his/her debut in April (my husband doesn't want to find out if it's a girl or boy, so the wait has the potential to be veeeery long), that will make 5 kids 5 and under. Holy crap.

37+5 weeks today, but measuring 41-42 weeks. I am hoping she'll wait for at least another 10 days or so before she makes an appearance. My mom is coming on Sunday to stay until she arrives and then for a week after, which will be a big help. I am nearly done all my trades/swaps/customer orders so I'm hoping to get in a bit of sewing done for us and baby, but if not then I'll do it after.

This pregnancy has been brutal. On top of my scoliosis and bursitis, I have become severely anemic and have a separating pelvis, so I'm exhausted and it hurts to move. I went on medical leave about as early as I could (14 weeks before my due date) and have been slowly working through the gigantic to do list since then. I hope with my mom's help I can get all the deep cleaning that I want done finished, finish redecorating ds' room and my sewing room and get all the Christmas stuff. Tall order as dh hasn't finished painting either room lol.

I am really looking forward to dd's birth. Although I can't have the homebirth I wanted due to the anemia (and I really think dh would divorce me he was so against it), I am studying hypnobabies and will most likely be getting the room with the tub in the hospital and have my midwife and doula there to support me, so I think this will be an amazing experience.

This week is kicking my butt.....I'm usually pretty peppy in the mornings and progressively grow more and more tired...but all this week I've been dragging, right from setting my feet on the floor fresh out of bed.

It doesn't help that tonight after I get home from school I have to go to my homebirth class and won't make it home until 9pm. Then, tomorrow night is our parent conferences from 5-8.....so I'll be at school from 8am until 8pm...then we have to be back again the next morning at 8am for the 2nd round of conferences.....uggggh, just thinking about it wears me out. All I want to do is sit down and relax.

Just a few more weeks....I know I can get through them....
