Hellobee Boards

@MaisyMay: oh wow you're coming along! How big are they estimating baby boy?

@MaisyMay: less than a week to go! How awesome!

@AMommyThang: oh wow! Just saw your update too! April mommas are getting close!

I had my doctor appt today and doctor recommended disability so next week is going to be my last week of work. It will at least make scheduling all the appointments easier and give my poor (swollen, huge) feet a rest.

My husband took off work today and we were able to get a lot done for Nate. All the newborn laundry is washed and baby equipment pulled out. The only vexing thing is we can't find the infant car seat. I hate to buy a new one but we've looked everywhere!!

Thanks ladies, I'm super excited but so overwhelmed. My husband's boss all of sudden doesn't want him to take off next week. Which means instead of a relaxed 2 days in the hospital with my hubby, I'll have to be alone hours at a time. It's just really frustrating!

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: 8.5/9 came up, and if so, they are worried about his shoulders getting stuck. The doctor said if he gets stuck, instead of assisting, we would need to go to a c-section.

It sounds like everyone had an appt. today ! I also had my 36 week appt. I had the Strep b test and baby is laying transverse again. Ouch!! I also have carpal tunnel in my right wrist so Dr gave me a nice brace to wear. It's actually helping. I've been wearing it since my appt. Next appt is Tue and then only one left before his birthday.

@MaisyMay: your so close! How exciting!!
@autumnleaves: I spied on my chart on the computer and saw it said excessive weight gain:( lol oh well!! No pregnant mommy is the same and that's okay.

@AMommyThang: How exciting, good luck! Sorry about the change of plans. That sounds frustrating and not fun for you!

I had my last growth scan today. Baby was measuring at 6 lbs 5 oz. Just about 1 oz less than when I was born. And we finally got to see this LO without it's hand over it's face. We got it moved for about 2 seconds. It's such a sweet face! Also, it's confirmed. The baby has a full head of hair. I have to get another scan though weekly until my due date. I'm a little annoyed over all the fuss MFM makes over my high risk, but perfectly boring pregnancy. I know they have my best interests at heart, I'm just looking forward to not being overly monitored.

I'm joining very late to the game. Just found out we will be adding to our family in a couple weeks.

Location: USA

EDD: April 20

How far along: 36 weeks?

First child? No

First doctor appointment:

Any symptoms so far?

Who have you told? All of our immediate family, some extended and some friends.

@jh524: I forgot to mention that we are adopting. So this wasn't like an "I didn't know I was pregnant" situation, although that would be cool! We just found out last week, we are so excited and feeling hopeful!!!

@Eieio: That's so exciting! Congratulations and welcome!

Congratulations & Welcome @Eieio:

@Eieio: thank you for clarifying lol That's exactly what I thought first!
Congrats on your adoption!!!

@Canoli: it's getting real quick! I can't believe it's time. I haven't seen band mommy on here for quite awhile. Hope she's doing well.

@bloved: girl!!!

Thank you everyone for the welcomes. Again I apologize for coming in at the end of the game. It doesn't seem fair when you ladies have been here from the start.

@JennyLayneAZ: thanks

Has everyone already decided on names? I can't think of a name. It doesn't help that I have a couple weeks. Panic mode over here!

@Eieio: My girl is Seren Matilda. You'll find a name you love, dont worry!

@Eieio: our son will be August Holiday; the middle name is a family surname.

@Eieio: we still haven't decided. We have a few we like! Are you adopting a boy or girl?
We like Conner James, Wade, Jamison Reed....
Which one do you all like. Help me decide!!

@jh524: I like them all...ack, I'm no help lol

@jh524: I vote for Conner or Wade!

We can't commit. I like Cy, but my husband's concerned people will pronounce it Kai (as opposed to "sigh" - think Cy Young). He's thrown Rhys ("Reece") into the mix, which I like, but think it's equly possible people will mispronounce.

@poppygirl15: I never would've thought Kai from Cy, fyi. Lol both are nice names though whichever way you go!

@Eieio: our runner up name was Savannah Victoria. We have a long last name and both have long, super common names, so we wanted our daughter to have something a little shorter/easier, but spunky. (My name is Jennifer in case my username wasn't obvious enough lol)
