@avivoca: Rest up! Glad it's not getting worse.

@TFrances: Not cool. Not cool at all. Does rubbing the sore area help at all? My chiropractor has me rubbing my round ligaments every morning when they are tight and it does help. Otherwise it feels like my sides are ripping.

@TFrances: I'm sorry you are feeling poorly as well. Hope tomorrow you can get out of the house. At least we are getting to the home stretch.

@avivoca: Glad you are less fuzzy and hope that you have a restful weekend ahead of you and can get back to feeling good!

@TFrances: Ugh, so sorry you're not feeling well. Hope that things improve tomorrow!

@whiskers: Your comment about being "in the final" stretch has me freaking out!!!! My due date is 10/1 and I fully want this baby to be born in October! I might be the only one here who does NOT want to be early (unless, of course, baby needs to come out early for some reason that he/she will make known!)

@thepicklemonster: Holy moly, big baby!!! I can't believe your DH was over 12 lbs. So exciting to hear that your little one is growing so well -- so big and strong! I would be nervous about an 11 pounder, too, Will your next scan be at 36w?

@Amorini: I'm with you - I would very much prefer an October baby.

@jaguar: I would love for you to have an October if not a September baby!!!! But, you know what? I truly believe little girl is gonna be in great hands no matter when she arrives. Thinking of you!! You are doing great!! (PS. So sorry you have to put the progesterone "up there"!)

@amorini I think next scan is 37w. Are you still TG? Do you have a hunch? I feel like I'm
having a boy.

@jaguar thinking of you!!!

Hey all sorry I am so MIA I am readreading, will catch up when I can!!
First week back to work after summer and just getting into a routine and being super preggo, I am DONE!!!!

Yes!!! Huzzah to one more week of growing.

I wish I had more time to do nursery stuff. I know it's not important in the long run, but I am just so bummed that everything came to such a grinding halt so early. Was NOT expecting the last few weeks to go so crazy.

I mean, I know it's not that important.. but no time to celebrate this baby with friends (we were going to do a little high tea/sprinkle type thing which is obviously cancelled now) and it just feels like this pregnancy is almost over without even getting to do so much.

Mama guilt today, I guess.

@jaguar: Maybe try to have a sip and see instead of a sprinkle? Just focus on the positives of catching it early and letting her cook more - everything else is minor details. Sitting in a bed all day certainly gives you the feeling of being unproductive, but really you are doing the most important job of all.

@whiskers: ugh, I hate that for you. I'm so sorry. Are you making sure you are hydrated? Do you carry snacks with you?

@whiskers: Feeling the same way for the last few days. And I've definitely been hydrating. Just about killed myself going to the grocery store today with a pissy toddler. Definitely need to take it easy this afternoon.

We've officially decided on a name! Trying to get DH to commit was ridiculously hard even though he's the one who proposed the first name. I picked the middle name. So Quentin Deckard Hall will be arriving in (hopefully) 7 weeks! In case you're wondering, we just really like the name Quentin, it's classic, but not super popular or trendy. And Deckard comes from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep/Blade Runner. The current toddler is named after a character from Hitchhiker's Guide the Galaxy. We have to represent our geek tribe through our children.

@TFrances: Awesome! Hope you are feeling better today.

@Amorini: Trying to eat a balanced diet around here. I think part of the problem is just the amount of shit work I have to deal with at the moment. DH works 12-13 hour days and doesn't do a single thing around the house. Starting to wear on me. And the toddler is sick this week. I really think I need some downtime and rest. Saturday I have a huge craft supply garage sale at my friend's house (multiple sellers). I'm going to use it as a day without house and toddler stressors and responsibilities. Plan on getting a venti starbucks tea on the way there and take it easy and hopefully make a little money. Weird way to relax, but it will be a day away from my house. I think I need that right now...

@Amorini: Just hanging on. I'm so tired.

Yay for names and bumps and getting through each day. Third trimester is no joke. xx

Had my last monthly appointment today. My next appointment is in two weeks. O sounded great on Doppler but my belly is measuring pretty behind. The doctor said if at my next appointment I still measured behind we will sneak a peek at him. I am not concerned. I measured small with my other two.

Had my 32w ultrasound yesterday. He measured at 5lbs 4oz - more like 35w! My doc doesn't measure my belly, so this was the first confirmation that I've gotten that he's big. She scheduled me for a followup ultrasound in 4 weeks. Apparently, if he only grows the "average" amount for the next 8 weeks, I could have something close to a 10-pounder on my hands! Doc decided to to put me on the schedule for a c-section at my 39w date, just to be sure that there is space for me in the schedule if I need it. Oh boy, is it feeling real now! No change in due date, just a big baby. (FYI: Both my husband and I are above average height and weight, but we were both 7lb babies - I was 2 weeks early and he was nearly 3 weeks late.)

@MrsRcCar: I'm starting to measure behind as well. For some reason my little ones like to hang out in transverse position so my doc wasn't concerned either.

Glad appointments are going well. I wasn't expecting another ultrasound since at my first appointment my doctor said it was just the dating and anatomy but this past appointment on Tuesday she mentioned something about possibly having one in a few weeks. I don't really want one, but if she tells me to schedule one I will.
