1. How far along are you?
35w2d

2. Do you think you'll go early or late? What makes you think this?
late. I was induced with both of my kids and my body just wasn't ready to go into labor so based on that, I think I'll go late.

3. When is your next appointment? For?
2 weeks at 37 weeks. For dilation check!

4. How did your last appointment go?
boring, same old same old. But I did have an u/s on the same day and that went well. Baby is measuring at 5lbs 1oz and fluid looks good as does all of his/her organs.

5. Any dilation checks yet? If so, anything going on?
no checks yet and i doubt I'm dilated yet.

6. Anyone progressing: losing mucus plug, contractions . . .
I'm having tons of BH and yesterday I even had a few real contractions but they didn't last long and only about 4 and nothing since. I couldn't walk through them but I could talk so I'm wondering if they were just some painful BH??? No loss of mucus plug, no major energy gain, etc.

7. How's your tummy looking these days?
Huge. No brown line yet, belly button hasn't popped, but I'm huge.

8. Weight gain amount?
35 weeks and 33lbs. O-M-G!!! I'm only 5'0" so I look sooo fat. My face has blown up, my butt as big as my stomach and my thighs and back have gotten fat too! I WILL be at the gym once this baby arrives.

1. How far along are you? 33 weeks and some days.......

2. Do you think you'll go early or late? What makes you think this? I thknk a little early since I'm having pre-term labor now. Not much but a few days-maybe :-)

3. When is your next appointment? For? 12/1 for my 2 week OB visit and 12/4 for my baby doctor visit with the perinotologist

4. How did your last appointment go? Went well, I have a slight skin rash on my leg, baby is getting bigger and at last measurements in early November he was 3.9lbs. But more recently was in hospital due to pre-term labor symptoms.

5. Any dilation checks yet? If so, anything going on? Yes but not dilated yet.

6. Anyone progressing: losing mucus plug, contractions . . . Yes off and on contractions and Braxton Hicks with pelvic pressure pain.

7. How's your tummy looking these days? Gorgeous. I have been really blessed in this area. Only marks are from my own numerous surgeries and line nigra but other than that. Nothing! Thank the Lord!

8. Weight gain amount? Since finding out I was pregnant about 24 or so lbs but I'm carrying it very well. I was off before and thought I'd gained more but my OB corrected my numbers so I'm ectastic at my weight gain.

9. Anything else you want to add? No just ectastic to see my son and kiss him and love him all over!!!

1. How far along are you? 34 weeks tomorrow!

2. Do you think you'll go early or late? What makes you think this? I think I'll go on New Years because it seems something happens every other year on new years for us. the year before last DH was in the ER with a torn Hernia (we spend the following week inthe hospital and they did emergency surgery on him!) before that i dont remember, but it just seems SOMETHING always happens!

3. When is your next appointment? For? Tomorrow (Tuesday) 34 weeks check up. nothing big that i'm aware of.

4. How did your last appointment go? Ugh. I was almost in tears. I was so exhausted from the lack of sleep catching up with me and i was the last appointment of the day and i just felt like my dr didnt really care about how i was feeling, but about going home. Talk about a hormonal emotional mess! LOL

8. Weight gain amount? I started at 186, dropped to 175 by 14 weeks, and now i'm at 192. So from the beginning, 6lbs? or do i count from my lowest weight? then it's 22lbs. ew. 6lbs sounds better. LOL

9. Anything else you want to add? I'm going to steal this and post it in the January board. =) hope you dont mind! LOL Also, i'm feeling okay. still 'done' with work and would much rather just not be at work. I want to be written off work for something not too serious, because i don't really want anything to be wrong with me or Bella, but I'm just DONE DONE DONE! LOL I'm ready to relax and just try to enjoy my last month!
