Re: .:: Official AUGUST 2012 Mommy to be Thread! ::.
I just got back from a non-stress test... and it turns out I am having contractions already... the test today which was done for 30-60 minutes said I had a contraction every 5 minutes... but the dr looked at me and said my cervix was fully closed and everything is still fine, but I guess I need to be concerned about pre-term labor. she told me to stay in bed the next two days and take it easy.
SO SCARY!!

we finally have the nursery all set up (minus the bedding). my parents came over today and helped build everything since DH was working overtime, i'm so thankful! its hard to believe soon I will have a baby sleeping in there... next on the agenda is my baby shower July 14th.. after that I will have to shop for whatever essentials I did not get (ex- car seat), find a coming home outfit, find out what to pack in hospital bag.. i think that is it... 8 weeks to go, scary!!
 Good for you and your parents for building everything!! July 14th will be here before you know it!! I brought up to dh yesterday that we will need to shop for thing that we dont get too. He thought we were done.lol
I can't believe our day is almost here. I wonder who will pop first? 
when is your shower? or is it a surprise? yeah i wish i had a crystal ball on when this baby is coming, it would make it a ton easier dealing with my HR department here haha.. i just hope i don't go too late!!

holy contractions & pressure batman!!
i'm 34 weeks and i can barely walk. if i didn't know any better, i'd swear my pelvis bone is fractured. i've been having knock down, tears in my eyes contractions lately and constant PMS cramps with severe pressure. these are all labor like symptoms so i'm hoping it's a sign that i'm going early!!! i really hope so because i won't make it another 6 weeks feeling the way i do.
ahh did your doc check everything out to make sure all was ok?

As we're creeping up into our-mid 30s weeks its normal to feel pelvic pressure and Braxton Hicks. Its also time to REALLY take it easy and drink a lot of water. Its time to lay low ladies until our little ones arrive. I know its hard, especially with the nesting phase and for those of us that are expecting #2, but really, try to do a little every day AND *I* should also practice what I preach

Babies are growing sooo big!! Had a growth sono today at 32 1/2 weeks and A is 4lb 14oz and B is 4lb 10oz. Almost 10lbs. of babies in me- crazy!
I'm having a ton of BH contractions and now they hurt because they're push Baby A's head down low. But cervix is still super long, so I'm looking good!! Goal is to make it to 37/38 weeks and then will be induced.

Re: .:: Official AUGUST 2012 Mommy to be Thread! ::.
Had my 32 week appointment yesterday, doc said I was having BH contractions once again (but, I really can't feel them!). He measured the HB and I was a little disappointed that once again I was not going to get a sono to see my LO. But, I asked him if he could check to see if the baby was still breech from the last time I had a sono (which was probably like 10 weeks ago) and good news, he is head down! He said "you have one healthy kid" so I'm glad all looks good! I wonder when I'll actually get a growth sono, if any.

Re: .:: Official AUGUST 2012 Mommy to be Thread! ::.
I have a growth sono next week. She still hasn't turned and my doctor suggested an external version. I am so scared of trying it but I really didn't want a c-section so I am unsure about what to do at this point. I have a lot of pondering to do I guess. So difficult to make a decision.
AND, I still have so much to do!
I need to install the car seat, pack the hospital bag, work on the nursery (wash clothes, sanitize bottles, etc), make some food to freeze and clean the house.
Can't believe there is about six weeks left!!

holy hell i can't believe how fast this went by! i need to get a new car, get the car seat installed, put together the bassinet (i'm waiting till i go into labor so it's not out getting dusty and that will give me something to focus on), sanitize the bottles (and find a place for them), clean my carpets and finish cleaning my work corner. i'm nesting like a mad woman- today i washed the walls, scrubbed my bathtub, cleaned the bathroom, did the dishes, did 3 loads of laundry, dusted & vacuumed!

Re: .:: Official AUGUST 2012 Mommy to be Thread! ::.
6 weeks to go and I still need to get a new car, carseat, bassinet, rent my breast pump, and get a whole bunch of little things for the baby. I just hired a cleaning lady so I don't have to worry about cleaning and I can just focus and getting things slowly done and organizing. My focus now is to wrap things up at work. I haven't seen my OBGYN since 5/31 bc I skipped my 6/22 visit with her partner and then she went out on vacation. It feels like its been forever...I'm finally seeing her next week and every week thereafter, which I find so unnecessary since all is well but oh well. Starting to get reaaaaaaalllly big! I heard they're planning my sprinkle at work since my boss thinks I'm going to pop any minute lollllll

Induction will be scheduled for Aug 3rd or 5th!! My one OB thinks I'll make it to that date, and I hope I do. But nervous about how big I'm getting. These babies are BIG! I gained 5 lbs. in one week- hoping most of it is water weight.
Less than 4 weeks to go and nothing is done. Gonna be a crazy month!

Re: .:: Official AUGUST 2012 Mommy to be Thread! ::.
so today was my baby shower, it was nice but now i feel really overwhelmed. I have all these boxes of stuff and tons of clothes just sitting in my basement and I have no desire to sort through everything and figure out what I can return, what clothes to wash... i ended up standing most of the time so my feet are now killing me and i'm ready for bed but i'm still thinking about all the organization i have to do before the baby gets here.... how have you ladies tackled this if you've had your shower already? i am not even sure where to begin!
ahh we are all getting super close now!!

We are getting so close.
I tackled it by going through the big pile and sorting it into categories (like clothes, book, toys, diapers, etc). Then I went through clothes and sorted it by month- pulling out everything I wanted to return and putting the rest in the correct month pile. I did the same with all the other gear. So then I had my keep piles and my return piles. I slowly put away and organized and washed all the keep stuff, one pile at a time and then have tried to slowly return items, one store at a time. I still have some clothes left to return. It takes a lot of time and patience but if you do it in an organized way, it is something you can spend a little time on whenever you get the chance/feel like it and then leave and come back and continue...
